Performance Enhancement in 5G Cellular Networks Using Priorities in Network Slicing

Network Slicing is one of the key features of the new 5G cellular network communication, it proposes the division of one physical network into multiple virtual networks to achieve specific goals such as security, flexibility and control over the network that will provide logical isolation in the devices, services and core networks set up for different characteristics and different types of services. Our proposed work uses end-to-end network slicing concept in 5G networks to solve the key issue of isolating the slices via prioritizing them in order to increase performance and decrease latency for high priority applications. Simulation results using NS-3 network simulator prove our claims and show enhancements in latency and performance
