Modeling of Heterogeneous 5G Network Slice for Smart Real-Time Railway Communications

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical model for a railway mobile communications system. In line with recent trends, the system’s operation relies on 5G network resources (slices). It efficiently manages critical data streams (flows) that meet the stringent requirements of real-time systems (systems that handle hard and soft real-time services). Additionally, the proposed solution accommodates data with less stringent QoS parameters compared to real-time streams. The analytical model serves as an approximation of the process occurring in the system for servicing flows and has been developed based on the analysis of a Markov chain, where the states correspond to the states of the examined system. Due to the approximate nature of the analytical model, the results derived from it were compared with those obtained from the simulation experiment.
