Companies Participating
in this Scenario

KDDI

Samsung

Testbed setup

The connection details of the hardware in the lab are in the network topology diagram below.

Device Under Test

gNB, RIC and core network for the testing provided by Samsung.

Test scenarios introduction

In this Proof of Concept we verified the Radio Intelligent Controller (RIC) with A1/E2 interfaces, which control RAN resource of network slicing. The demo showcased the network slices with RIC and gNB managing radio resources to ensure service requirements.

Testing Results/Summary

KDDI, in cooperation with Samsung, has successfully demonstrated network slicing in a 5G standalone network. In the demonstration, end-to-end network is partitioned virtually in order to achieve multiple communication with qualities such as quality assurance, low latency and the like according to the application or needs of customers.
