Title
Refactoring Future Residential Networks into Slices
Abstract
5G cellular architectures and evolving standards are designed over the network slicing paradigm to fulfill 5G use cases and achieve fixed-mobile convergence. However, Broadband Forum (BBF) driven residential network (RN) is still far from this evolution. Furthermore, the current organization of RN elements makes it rather challenging to embrace network slicing. In this paper, we envisage the BBF-driven future RNs through the lens of network slicing by refactoring its network elements. On top of that, we propose a slice admission control function (SACF) that admits incoming flow requests to appropriate device and service slices. The SACF slice selection criteria and mechanism to pick an appropriate slice is thoroughly discussed. To support the notion of separation of concerns design principle, we propose service orchestration as an upper-level management layer over NFV orchestration. Finally, the ongoing prototype implementation of SACF on Central Office Re-architected as a Datacenter (CORD) is explored.
