Huawei Proposes 5G Deterministic Networking to Enable

Differentiated and Deterministic Services for Thousands

of Industries

Huawei has been investing heavily
in research and development of 5G
network architecture evolution and

slicing technologies. The Huawei 5G
core network is built on leading cloud-
native, connectivity+, and edge computing
technologies, and is the industry’s first core
network to support 2G/3G/4G/5G NSA/5G
SA in-depth convergence.

The “best-effort” service provided by traditional mobile networks
can no longer keep up with the diversified requirements of vertical
industry applications. These requirements include ultra-low and
deterministic latency, mobility, reliability, and tenant security
isolation.

An example is the power system differential protection under
the Ultra High-Reliability and Low-Latency Communication
(URLLC) scenario. When a switch command is delivered, the
communication between the master and slave differential
protection terminals involves electrical vector contrasting and
verification of transmission path parameters. The network needs
to provide a deterministic delay of 20 ms and a jitter of 600 us or An Jian
less.

Huawei, China Telecom and State Grid completed the world’s first Huawei Middle East
5G SA Electricity Slice Test under a real power grid environment
in early April, in Nanjing, China. This was also the world’s first
electricity slice to comply with the latest 5G SA specifications
released by 3GPP, in which Huawei provides the SA electricity
slice with millisecond-level latency. It enhances bidirectional
communication between power grids and end users, ensuring
precise management of small power units on the power grid
terminals of overloaded power grids. These advantages help
minimize the economic and social impact caused by power
outages.
