Research on Adaptability of 5G Network Slicing in Distribution Automation and Electricity Information Collection System

Abstract

The demand and scene of 5G wireless communication network are diverse, and different scenes have different requirements for the function and performance of the network. Network slicing has emerged as a key concept to meet the diverse requirements of various scenarios. As a representative of the vertical industry, the smart grid presents new challenges to communication networks. 5G network slicing can be applied to smart grids due to its low latency and high reliability. This paper introduces the overall architecture and key technologies of 5G network slicing. For two typical smart grid application scenarios of distribution automation and electricity information collection, we research on adaptability of 5G network slicing in distribution automation and power information collection system. It promotes the application of 5G network slicing in electricity.
