This talk will provide a comprehensive overview of the LANCE facility, a state-of-the-art ecosystem of cutting-edge technologies designed for innovations and experimentations atop a 5G standalone open-source and O-RAN-enabled network system. The presentation will delve into the innovative concept of Cloud-Network Slicing, exploring how this approach enables the creation of multiple virtualized and isolated end-to-end network partitions on a shared physical infrastructure towards affording slicing as a service at unprecedented flexibility and efficiency. Furthermore, a Machine Learning-based inter-slice predictive load-balancing endeavor, which aims to tackle the optimization of resource distribution across network slices, seeking to ensure optimal performance and QoS/QoE. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the capabilities and potential applications of the LANCE testbed facility, the principles and benefits of Cloud-Network Slicing, and how ML-driven 5G control-plane can enhance network efficiency and performance.
