Description
The fifth generation of mobile networks (5G) and the Software-Defined Radio Access Networks (SD-RAN) architecture envision to support lower latency, enhanced reliability, massive connectivity, and improved energy efficiency. In this context, low latency is considered crucial and Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC) as one of the key enablers. Currently, IEEE 802.11 networks cannot be programmed fine-grained enough nor manage multiple networks at runtime. Besides, in such scenarios, the coarse-grained level of monitoring information has been hindering troubleshooting and management. In this paper, we present an SDN-based framework where fine-grained End-to-End (E2E) network statistics can be gathered using Inband Network Telemetry (INT) and used for network control and management. With such fine-grained network information, we show how our system can enhance the Quality of Service (QoS) delivery through slice orchestration in IEEE 802.11 Radio Access Networks (RANs).
