Trai Proposes Quality of Service Norms for 5G Network Slicing Technology
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has proposed draft quality of service norms for 5G network slicing, requiring telecom operators to ensure sufficient network capacity before launching new slices. The rules mandate submission of detailed plans 21 days prior and introduce benchmarks like Physical Resource Block utilization to prevent service degradation. While Bharti Airtel supports network slicing, other operators like Reliance Jio and Vodafone Idea have expressed concerns about potential subscriber discrimination. Comments on the draft are due by August 26.
