TL;DR: This paper presents a novel SliceNet framework, based on advanced and customizable network slicing to address some of the highlighted challenges in migrating eHealth telemedicine services to 5G networks and demonstrates the applicability of the proposed framework in such media-rich use cases.

TL;DR: In the paper, the reference architecture of SELFNET, which is divided into Infrastructure Layer, Virtualized Network Layer, SON Control Layer,SON Autonomic Layer, NFV Orchestration and Management Layer, and Access Layer, will be presented.

TL;DR: The vision of the SliceNet project is presented, highlighting the gaps in existing work and challenges, the proposed overall architecture, proposed technical approaches, and use cases.

TL;DR: The work presented in this article addresses a number of the fundamental principles and their corresponding technology implementations that enable the provisioning of large-scale testbeds for testing and experimentation as well as deploying future Internet platforms for piloting novel applications.

TL;DR: A novel portable 5G infrastructure testbed has been prototyped to enable the preliminary testing of the integrated key technologies and to provide a realistic execution platform for further investigating and evaluating software‐defined networking– and network function virtualization–based application scenarios in 5G networks.
