Patent ID: 11252577

Abstract:
Embodiments herein describe mirroring slices in a 5G domain (or network) in a Wi-Fi domain (or network). A slice in a 5G domain allows a service provider to establish a separate network within the 5G network which can have a different minimum bandwidth, minimum latency, a quality of service (QoS) level, a certain application must be proximate to the client devices, and a service level agreement (SLA) relative to the other slices. The embodiments herein can mirror the traffic isolation and flexibility of 5G slices in a Wi-Fi network by using resource units (RUs). The AP can assign RUs in a manner to match the bandwidth and latency of the corresponding 5G slice. Further, the AP controls which client devices can use the RUs and can ensure that only the client devices that can use the same 5G slice can use the same RUs.
