On the 5G RAN side, Service Slicing is implemented using a Base Band Unit (BBU). A BBU is a device that performs baseband processing functions, such as modulation, demodulation, and encoding/decoding of signals. It is also responsible for the connection to the core network and the management of the radio resources. In 5G, BBU is a key component to support service slicing, where different services can be assigned different slices of the network resources, such as bandwidth, power, and quality of service. This allows for more efficient use of resources and better management of different types of traffic, such as broadband and low latency services.
