A typical element of the smart city's information and communication space is a 5G cluster, which is focused on serving both new and handover requests because it is an open system. In an ordinary 5G smart city cluster, Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC) and enhanced Mobile BroadBand (eMBB) traffic types prevail. The formation of an effective QoS policy for such an object (taking into account the potentially active slicing technology) is an urgent problem. As a baseline, this research considers a Quality of Service (QoS) policy with constraints for context-defined URLLC and eMBB classes of incoming requests. Evaluating the QoS policy instance defined within the framework of the basic concept requires the formalization of both a complete qualitative metric and a computationally efficient mathematical apparatus for its calculation. The article presents accurate and approximate methods of calculating such quality parameters as the probability of loss of typed requests and the utilization ratio of the communication resource, which depend on the implementation of the estimated QoS policy. At the same time, the original parametric space includes both fixed characteristics (amount of available communication resources, load according to request classes) and controlled characteristics due to the specifics of the implementation of the basic QoS concept. The paper empirically proves the adequacy of the presented mathematical apparatus for evaluating the QoS policy defined within the scope of the research. Also, in the proposed qualitative metric, a comparison of the author's concept with a parametrically close analogue (the well-known QoS policy scheme, which takes into account the phenomenon of reservation of communication resources), determined taking into account the reservation of communication resources, was made. The results of the comparison testify in favour of the superiority of the author's approach in the proposed metrics.
智慧城市信息和通信空间的一个典型元素是 5G 集群,它专注于服务新的和切换请求,因为它是一个开放系统。在普通的 5G 智慧城市集群中,超可靠低延迟通信 (URLLC) 和增强型移动宽带 (eMBB) 流量类型占主导地位。为这种对象(考虑到潜在的活跃切片技术)制定有效的服务质量 (QoS) 策略是一个紧迫的问题。作为基线,本研究考虑了一种具有约束条件的服务质量 (QoS) 策略,用于定义上下文的 URLLC 和 eMBB 类传入请求。在基本概念框架内定义 QoS 策略实例的评估需要对完整的定性指标和用于其计算的计算效率高的数学工具进行形式化。本文提出了计算特定质量参数的精确和近似方法,例如丢失类型请求的概率和通信资源的利用率,这些参数取决于所估计的 QoS 策略的实现。同时,原始参数空间既包括固定特征(可用通信资源的数量、根据请求类别的负载),也包括由于基本 QoS 概念实现的特殊性而导致的受控特征。本文通过实证证明了所提出的数学工具在评估研究范围内定义的 QoS 策略的有效性。此外,在所提出的定性指标中,对作者的概念与参数上接近的模拟(考虑到通信资源预留现象的知名 QoS 策略方案)进行了比较,该模拟是在考虑到通信资源预留的情况下确定的。比较结果支持了作者在提出的指标中方法的优越性。
