Huawei proposes ‘deterministic networking’ for 5G

Deterministic networking would leverage technologies such as cloud native, dynamic intelligent network slicing and heterogeneous ultra-performance mobile edge computing (MEC). According to the Chinese vendor, “Deterministic networking delivers a defined range of latency, packet loss and jitter to ensure optimal user experience, promote cross-industry innovation of applications, and enable thousands of industries.” Jason (Jisheng) Dai, President of Strategy & Business Development Department of Huawei Cloud Core Network, made the comments in a keynote speech at the 3rd Future Network Development Conference in Nanjing. Dai told attendees that differentiated and deterministic network service capabilities are key to the development of 5G industry applications. He said the "best-effort" service provided by traditional mobile networks can no longer keep up with the diversified requirements of vertical industry applications.
