Dynamic End-to-End Network Slicing for Safe and Reliable Teleoperation Use Cases

Abstract

Despite major advances in Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs), edge cases such as unmapped construction zones or dense urban areas still require human intervention. Teleoperation, often combined with Level 4 automation, addresses these situations but demands strict network performance i.e., latency below 5 ms, uplink throughput above 25 Mbps, and 99.999% reliability, to ensure safe, responsive control under heavy load. This paper presents a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) 5G Standalone (SA) network supporting end-to-end Network Slicing for teleoperation. The PoC achieves seamless slice isolation across the 5G Core (5GC), Transport Network (TN), and Radio Access Network (RAN), enabling dynamic and cross-domain Network Slicing to meet teleoperation requirements.
