Abstract
Network slicing is a key enabling technology for fifth-generation (5G) and beyond mobile networks, which enables operators to run multiple logical networks on top of common physical infrastructure while meeting heterogeneous quality-ofservice (QoS) requirements. In this paper, we summarize the design, implementation, and evaluation of a UDP-based virtual network slicing simulator modeling four slices in accordance with 3GPP service types: enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC), Massive Machine-Type Communications (mMTC), and a dedicated Best Effort slice. The simulator uses real UDP sockets on localhost in a multi-threaded framework and implements separate admission control per slice, supporting three configurable resourceborrowing modes—none, full, and controlled—in which the primary slices (eMBB, URLLC, mMTC) may borrow unused capacity from the Best Effort slice when their own allocation runs out. QoS metrics including throughput, packet loss ratio, one-way delay, and jitter are collected in a thread-safe manner per slice. Experimental results under controlled borrowing (60 s, 16 nodes, 3 MB per slice, 40% borrow cap) demonstrate activation of the borrowing mechanism with nonzero borrowed-in and borrowedout values, and illustrate the trade-off between primary-slice throughput and Best Effort protection.
This paper presents the design and evaluation of a network slicing implementation in a simulated 5G Standalone (SA) mobile network deployed as a nomadic edge node, where “nomadic” refers to the physical portability and ease of redeployment of a self-contained, containerized 5G testbed suitable for university teaching and experimentation. The platform integrates Open5GS, UERANSIM, Kamailio, and Prometheus/Grafana to emulate a sliced 5G core and access network supporting differentiated service requirements typical of heterogeneous traffic classes and latency-sensitive applications. Slice provisioning is fully configurable, and Docker-based resource constraints are applied to enforce Quality of Service (QoS) differentiation. Performance was assessed through bandwidth and traffic-quality measurements, demonstrating measurable improvements in packet loss and jitter for high-priority slices, with corresponding degradation for lower-priority slices. Although the laboratory environment limits replication of distributed real-world deployments, the results confirm the effectiveness of network slicing for traffic isolation and service prioritization in 5G SA systems. These findings highlight the practical boundaries of container-based slicing enforcement in a single-host nomadic 5G SA node, and inform the design of future multi-host deployments.

Evaluation on representative workloads demonstrates that P2CS achieves performance comparable to in-network mechanisms while significantly reducing complexity and cost, and requires minimal software changes making it readily deployable in today's datacenter infrastructure.

CERLA-SFC is introduced, a hierarchical, multi-objective orchestrator that unifies learning-based placement, topology-aware routing and event-driven resource allocation in a single control loop that maintains near-zero latency violations across all urgency classes while keeping end-to-end delay in the millisecond range.

This work introduces Online Pricing-based Slice Admission Control and Resource Allocation (OPA) framework, which dynamically assigns pseudo-prices to resources that capture long-term scarcity and anticipated inter-temporal opportunity costs and designs an exponential pricing strategy that guarantees bounded worst-case performance.
