Abstract
A key enabler for Industry 4.0 is Fifth Generation Wireless Specifications (5G), within which network slicing is a promising technique to ensure customized quality of service for specific end-user groups in industrial scenarios. Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) plays a significant role in 5G but network slicing for massive MIMO has not yet been addressed. In this paper, we propose a network slicing scheme for a 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) with massive MIMO technology. Our simulations show that it is feasible to provide guaranteed performance in terms of high reliability, low latency, and a large number of connections by deploying our proposed scheme at the mMedium Access Control (MAC) layer of a massive MIMO base station.
