the radio resource utilization rate is the CPU usage amount occupied by the CU processing the current data amount/the CPU usage amount occupied by the maximum data amount that the CU can process. The network slice deployment form is mainly divided into an access network part and a core network part. From the access network, in one base station, different cells point to different slices to complete respective functions of the slices, the slices are mainly based on a CU clouded structure, namely CU and DU are separated, CU runs on an X86 server, DU part runs on an X86 server, FPGA acceleration processing is adopted for a signal real-time part, RRU runs on a special RRU board card, a control plane CP and a user plane UP of the CU are separated, the CU adopts a resource virtualization deployment scheme and has multi-DU management capability, namely, a single CU-CP manages control parts of a plurality of DUs, CU-UP corresponds to service processing of each slice one by one, and data processing of the DUs corresponds to CU-UP one by one.
The core network adopts 3 forms of partial exclusive, complete sharing and complete exclusive modes.
1) Partial exclusive mode: by sharing the mode that most control network element functions and a small number of data network element functions are exclusively shared, the isolation requirement and the cost requirement are balanced, the core network controls the network functions (PCF, AMF, UDM, SMF, NSSF and the like), and different slices exclusively share the UPF function.
2) Full sharing mode: all slices share the network element function of the core network, so that the method is suitable for industrial slices with low isolation.
3) Full exclusive mode: the complete industry special core network is almost equivalently constructed, the safety isolation is highest, but the cost is also highest. The method is suitable for high-isolation slicing scenes.
