Abstract

5G networks are envisioned to provide high Quality of Service (QoS) for several use cases that differ on their network requirements and where they should be deployed. Some use cases are deployed in Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) infrastructures that are managed by mobile network operators. However, for other use cases, devices connect to the services over private networks or Non-Public Network (NPN). The NPN deployment is mostly envisioned by companies that will benefit from Industry 4.0 and also eHealth to enhance QoS and network security. Network slicing is the 5G concept that comes to address the different service requirements over the same network. In this paper, we present an experimental study on deploying a network slicing solution for an NPN in health environments. This solution aims to provide both performance isolation over WiFi networks and privacy isolating the service traffic over the NPN network backhaul on the way to the application server, thus providing data confidentiality.
