网络切片（NS）是5G及后续网络的基础支柱，可提供适配特定服务质量（QoS）要求的隔离逻辑网络。尽管3GPP标准已全面定义了蜂窝接入网络上的切片架构，但将Wi-Fi等非3GPP技术无缝集成到统一切片实例中仍是活跃的研究领域，尤其在实证验证方面。本文开展端到端原型研究，通过适配可信非3GPP网关功能（TNGF）将5G独立组网（SA）与Wi-Fi网络集成，将NS扩展到WLAN网络，实现Wi-Fi传输资源的统一管理。我们利用开源5G核心网与显式非3GPP接入搭建功能测试平台，验证多无线接入技术（multi-RAT）切片操作。实证结果表明，多RAT切片在不同带宽分配和流量导向策略下具备动态可行性，为3GPP与非3GPP服务的统一交付提供了具体概念验证。
英文摘要
Network Slicing (NS) is a fundamental pillar of 5G and beyond networks, enabling the provisioning of isolated, logical networks tailored to specific Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. While 3GPP standards comprehensively define slicing architectures over cellular access networks, the seamless integration of Non-3GPP technologies such as Wi-Fi into a unified slice instance remains an active area of investigation, particularly regarding empirical validation. This paper presents an end-to-end prototyping study that integrates 5G Standalone (SA) and Wi-Fi networks by adapting the Trusted Non-3GPP Gateway Function (TNGF) to extend NS to WLAN networks, enabling the unified management of Wi-Fi transmission resources. We implement a functional testbed leveraging an open-source 5G Core and an explicit Non-3GPP access to validate multi-Radio Access Technology (multi-RAT) slice operation. Our empirical results showcase the dynamic viability of multi-RAT slicing under varying bandwidth allocations and traffic steering policies, providing a concrete proof of concept for unified 3GPP and Non-3GPP service delivery.
