Reducing Inequalities with 5G Internet Light Network Slice

Abstract

So far the 5G mobile systems are mostly known for their superiority in terms of performance, flexibility and cost efficiency but are less known for their social benefit. In this paper, the huge social benefit of 5G is demonstrated through the realization of the Internet Light. The Internet Light is aiming at providing free access to Internet information for all and can be implemented by an Internet Light Network Slice (ILNS) available and accessible to everyone. The paper provides a brief introduction of the Internet Light. After a comprehensive explanation of the 5G network slice concept the elaboration of the ILNS is described thoroughly. A concise description of a Proof-of-Concept is also given.
