This paper examines the technical details of trials following the evolution from LTE QCI-driven prioritisation and scheduling, through the impact of Radio Resource Scheduling, and the realisation of slicing through the User Equipment Route Selection Policy.
Spanning a period of over 24 months, telecommunications and broadcast services provider Telstra has conducted multiple trials alongside national broadcasters and sports producers, exploring the use cases, workflow, viability, and efficacy of advanced slicing techniques on the public sub-6GHz 5G network. These trials covered major events, live sports, and other similar contribution use cases and demonstrated the positive impact of slicing on feed stability and availability, particularly in areas of high network congestion.
This paper examines the technical details of trials following the evolution from LTE QCI-driven prioritisation and scheduling, through the impact of Radio Resource Scheduling, and the realisation of slicing through the User Equipment Route Selection Policy. The paper then highlights...
