Other slices could be created for vehicle remote diagnostics and management. Likewise, a network slice can support teleoperated driving and ensure ultra-low latency and high reliability between the vehicle being controlled by a remote operator. For teleoperated driving, an end-to-end latency of 20 ms is desired, with 99.999% reliability for V2N. For remote diagnostics that use V2I and V2N, latency, data rate, and reliability are not a concern. However, for infotainment that uses V2N, a bandwidth of a few Mbps may be needed for high-quality video streaming. In prior generations, such as the legacy LTE-A network for connected vehicles, the Road Side Unit (RSU) was responsible for providing different vehicle services. With the new approach, the RSU only provides infotainment services. The virtual RSUs or access points provide reliable communication on V2X now. This approach prevents the RSU as the single chokepoint for V2X communication. Let us look at the network slicing of the RAN in V2X. It includes the following: Radio Access Technology (RAT) selection - This can be pure 5G or a mashup of other 3GPP or non-3GPP access services. Often, multiple RATs may be configured to improve the V2I capacity of the vehicle for different applications, such as infotainme
