5G Applications: Requirements, Challenges, and Outlook

2018

The increasing demand for mobile network capacity driven by Internet of Things (IoT) applications results in the need for understanding better the potential and limitations of 5G networks. Vertical application areas like smart mobility, energy networks, industrial IoT applications, and AR/VR enhanced services all pose different requirements on the use of 5G networks. Some applications need low latency, whereas others need high bandwidth or security support. The goal of this paper is to identify the requirements and to understand the limitations for 5G driven applications. We review application areas and list the typical challenges and requirements posed on 5G networks. A main challenge will be to develop a network architecture being able to dynamically adapt to fluctuating traffic patterns and accommodating various technologies such as edge computing, blockchain based distributed ledger, software defined networking, and virtualization.

5G-IANA - D2.1 Specifications of the 5G-IANA architecture

CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research - Zenodo, 2022

This deliverable has the objective to provide the outcomes of the activities performed in Work Package (WP) 2 "Specifications". The activities included the design of the 5G-IANA Automotive Open Experimentation Platform (AOEP) and the requirements specification of each architecture layer. The specified 5G-IANA architecture capitalizes on the 5G prospect of being a unified multi-service platform by orchestrating Vertical Services based on virtualized network slices and a coordination of distributed edge-to-cloud deployment. The 5G-IANA AOEP aims to provide an open and flexible experimentation platform to third-parties developers (e.g., SMEs) that want to develop new 5G-based services devoted to the Automotive vertical. The availability of an easy-to-use experimentation environment can facilitate the launch of new services creating new market opportunities. Moreover, 5G-IANA will actively address the configuration of the 5G network (e.g., network slicing, edge resources, etc.) with the objective of supporting in the best way the requirements of the new services. In this way, it will be also possible to verify if the current 5G implementation can adequately satisfy the highly demanding performance requirements of the Automotive services. The two main layers of the AOEP architecture are the NetApp Orchestration and Development (NOD) layer and the Slice Management and Resource Orchestration layer. The first one offers the functionalities to design, model, and provision a Vertical Service/NetApp, while the Slice Management and Resource Orchestration layer is in charge of allocating and managing the 5G Network Slices and the compute resources of the 5G-IANA infrastructure. Other layers of the 5G-IANA AOEP are the Distributed Machine Learning (DML) Orchestration layer, which manages DML Vertical Services/NetApps, the Monitoring and Analytics layer, and the Distributed Data Collection layer. The AOEP integrates the ability to manage and orchestrate Services/NetApps across an extended compute continuum and comprises of multiple interconnected and virtualized segments including centralized, edge and far-edge resources. In the latter case the integrated virtualized infrastructure segment includes resources constituted by Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) equipment, namely the On-Board Units (OBU) on the vehicles and by RoadSide Units (RSU). This deliverable, apart from the requirements specification of each introduced layer, provides an overview of the 5G-IANA related State-of-the-Art solutions, and it introduces the advances brought by 5G-IANA. An overview of the requirements specified for the 19 use-cases, that will be demonstrated within the 5G-IANA project, is included as well in this deliverable as it supported the design of the AOEP.

A Review Of 5G Technology: Architecture, Security and wide Applications

2020

The eventual goal of the forthcoming 5G wireless networking is to have relatively fast data speeds, incredibly low latency, substantial rises in base station's efficiency and major changes in expected Quality of Service (QoS) for customers relative to the existing 4G LTE networks. In order to deal with state-of-the art technologies and connectivity in the form of smart cell phones, internet of things (IoT) devices, autonomous vehicles, virtual reality devices and smart homes connectivity, the broadband data use has risen at a fast rate. Further, to meet the latest applications, the bandwidth of the system needs to be increased widely. This development will be accomplished by using a modern spectrum with higher data levels. In particular, the fifth generation (5G) mobile network seeks to resolve the shortcomings of previous telecommunication technologies and to be a possible primary enabler for future IoT applications. This paper briefly discusses the architecture of 5G, followin...

5G for the Support of Public Safety Services

Wireless Personal Communications, 2021

Next-generation mobile technologies are the enablers for meeting the variable specific requirements of the public safety (PS) community. In particular, due to the development of commercially deployed 5G networks, PS providers look for ways to implement related solutions upon such infrastructures, potentially in a shared use with existing commercial networks. In particular, LTE and 5G NR networks are rapidly gaining recognition as an all-inclusive critical communications platform for the delivery of both mission and business critical applications. Within this scope, we take into account the innovative architectural approach that has been proposed by the 5G ESSENCE project, addressing the paradigms of edge computing and small cell as-a-service that has been realised via a cloud-enabled small cell infrastructure leveraging multi-access technologies in 5G, where we propose a dedicated PS use case, able to offer a mission critical push-to-talk service as well as a Chat and Localisation s...

White Paper: Intelligent Security Architecture for 5G and Beyond Networks

2020

5G's capabilities and flexibility hold the promise of further facilitating the society's digitalization by enabling new services (e.g. remote surgery, advanced industrial applications) and communication modes (e.g. gestures, facial expressions and haptics). Current wireless communication systems do not meet the performance requirements of these new services, such as bandwidth, latency and reliability. Furthermore, the current COVID-19 crisis has fundamentally changed the way the world communicates and operates, accelerating the shift towards a more digital world. Such shift and the new requirements make the need of reliable and high-quality digital services promised by 5G more crucial than ever.<br> To fulfil 5G promises, a shift towards full automation of network and service management and operation is a necessity. However, a major challenge facing full automation is the protection of the network and system assets – services, data and network infrastructure – against ...
