How does 5G network slicing work?

A segment routing path is a sequential list of sub-paths or segments encoded as a stack of one or more MPLS labels or IPv6 addresses . … In a fully realized 5G implementation, segment routing uses a centralized SDN path control element (PCE) to determine paths through the network.

Each sub-network is leased to mobile virtual network operators, which divide the allocated network into more specific sub-networks. Each sub-network in turn is bundled with cloud services encompassing compute and storage infrastructure to meet a specific circumstance (see image, “How 5G networking slicing works”).

South Korea, China, and the United States are the countries that lead the world in building and deploying 5G technology.
