Characterization of mobile network services to assess the impact of network slicing in a nationwide scenario

Several businesses are nowadays becoming more and more aware of the potential that lies beneath Big Data. From social media ‘titans’ and healthcare companies, to the mobile industry that propelled them, 5th Generation mobile network (5G) will be a fundamental factor that will drive our new reality....

Current mobile service usage has been explored for data-driven organizational growth in the touristic sector, as it allows forecasting hotel occupancy rates or targeting customers.

Previous Ericsson Mobility Reports claimed that by the end of 2022 the total monthly traffic associated with mobile devices would be 77 exabytes (EB), representing 20% of the total Internet Protocol (IP) traffic around the world. They also declare that 50 EB/month would come from 2nd Generation mobile network (2G), 3rd Generation mobile network (3G), and 4th Generation mobile network (4G) devices. In terms of 5G subscriptions, it is expected to reach up to 2.8 billion subscriptions globally by the end of 2025, accounting for about 30% of total mobile subscriptions.

One of the features proposed to face this dilemma is using the network slicing technique. It allows to transform and orchestrate a 5G network by creating multiple logical instances (i.e., slices) on top of it, while Big Data would provide the specifications of the services’ traffic dynamics to be served.

description Several businesses are nowadays becoming more and more aware of the potential that lies beneath Big Data. From social media ‘titans’ and healthcare companies, to the mobile industry that propelled them, 5th Generation mobile network (5G) will be a fundamental factor that will drive our new reality.
