Detailed Description
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The embodiment of the application provides a wireless network slicing method based on a slicing flow table, which comprises the following steps:
expanding an Openflow slice flow table in an SDN architecture into a wireless access network, wherein a matching field of the slice flow table comprises a remote transmitting head RRH field and a baseband processing unit BBU field;
generating at least one slicing network according to different slicing triggering conditions; the slice network comprises a static slice network, a dynamic slice network and a semi-static slice network.
Specifically, referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic view of a slice scene of a wireless network based on a slice flow table according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the case of the invention, a CRAN architecture is adopted, that is, a traditional base station is divided into a remote transmitting head (RRH) and a baseband processing unit (BBU), and an SDN controller is added to control the RRH and the BBU in consideration of introducing the SDN architecture into a radio access network. In this embodiment, at least one slice flow table may be added in each access network entity (RRH and BBU). The uplink data forwarding process of the whole network is as follows: first, the user UE connects to the RRH through a radio channel, the RRH forwards the data to the BBU through a forward link (frontaul), and finally the BBU forwards the data to a packet core network (EPC). As can be seen in the figure, the slice flow table is controlled by an SDN controller, and data forwarding is performed by matching forwarding of the slice flow table, so as to implement separation of data forwarding and control plane.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a slice flow table provided in the embodiment of the present invention, and it can be seen that a matching field of the entire table includes two fields, namely, an RRH field and a BBU field. The RRH field mainly relates to information such as physical layer parameters, forwarding ports and the like, wherein RRH ID represents entity RRH physical mark; the RRH Port represents an RRH physical Port, namely a virtual RRH equipment mark; transmit Power represents the Transmit Power of the base station; MIMO denotes the number of base station antennas; MCS denotes a modulation coding strategy; channel Model represents a Channel propagation Model; frame Type indicates a propagation Frame structure; fronthaul ID represents the physical designation of the entity Fronthaul; the Fronthaul Port represents a Fronthaul physical Port, i.e., a virtual Fronthaul device designation; delay Constraint denotes the Delay Constraint of Fronthaul; capacity Constraint denotes the Capacity limit of Fronthaul.
In this embodiment, the BBU field mainly relates to two or three layers of processing related information, where: the fields mainly contain the following contents: the BBU ID represents an entity BBU physical mark; the BBU Port represents a BBU physical Port, namely a virtual BBU equipment mark; the Schedule Type represents a resource scheduling mode; protocol represents Protocol stack configuration; bandwidth denotes the Bandwidth allocation amount.

As shown in fig. 3, in the static slicing mode, an operator or a service provider may actively send a slicing request to an SDN controller, and the SDN controller may generate slicing flow table data according to a network slicing policy. And then the SDN controller forms a new network slice by modifying the slice flow table information in the BBU and the RRH, and establishes a data transmission channel. And finally, connecting the user to a network to form a data transmission plane in a mode of matching the slice flow table.

And further forming a data transmission channel, and finally connecting the user to the network by matching the slice flow table to form a data transmission plane.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic flow chart of a semi-static slicing method provided by the embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 5, in an existing static sliced network, if a new network slicing request sent by a user occurs, a new network may be generated in a manner of generating a dynamic sliced network. Specifically, in the semi-static slicing mode, the user generates a new slicing request on the original data transmission plane. At the moment, a user sends a new network slicing request and reports the new network slicing request to the SDN controller through the RRH; then, the SDN controller forms specific slice flow table parameters according to the current network state information and a slice generation strategy; and finally, the SDN controller modifies slice flow tables of the RRH and the BBU through signaling interaction. And further forming a new data transmission channel, and finally connecting the user to the network by matching the slice flow table to form the new data transmission plane.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
1) the flow table in the SDN architecture is expanded into a wireless access network, the SDN controller is used for controlling the slice flow table, and the data forwarding is matched and forwarded through the slice flow table, so that the separation of data forwarding and a control plane is realized. The matching field of the slice flow table mainly comprises an RRH field and a BBU field, and the two parts respectively correspond to a physical layer of a wireless access network, network parameters related to a second layer and a third layer, a forwarding flow and a port.
2) The slicing mode is divided into the following modes according to different slicing network generation triggering conditions: static slicing mode, dynamic slicing mode, and semi-static slicing mode.
