This white paper focuses on the services to be provided by an NSP-grade cloud database, called Network Data Layer. In addition, it also describes use cases enabled by the externalization of various types of data.
The aim of this work is to highlight what implications and trade-offs related to the delivery of new 5G services are relevant for mobile network operators. Some of these new services, in fact, require extremely low latency and high reliability of the communication link, which have very little in common with the targets that the telecommunications industry has worked towards until today. The new 5G requirements, in fact, now call for a re-think on how the future network will have to be designed and optimised in order to enable the new services.
The purpose of this document is to identify realistic end-to-end deployment configurations that can potentially deliver the 5G extreme services across their footprint and to highlight some of the key challenges that come into play in this context.
This paper presents a summary of the findings of the NGMN V2X task force and concludes with a list of key points.
The purpose of this document is to identify realistic radio access deployment configurations that can potentially deliver the 5G extreme services across their footprint and to highlight some of the key challenges that come into play in this context.
The 5G RAN decomposition allows for a wide range of 5G services requirements to be met by allowing for RAN functionality to be split into centralised and distributed locations. There is a trade-off in terms of performance, complexity, flexibility, and transport demands that can allow an operator to decide what RAN decomposition(s) to deploy. This work provides an overview of the various RAN functional split options and their relative trade-offs.
This work also provides an overview of the various industry activities that together form a toolbox enabling an operator to deploy the RAN functional split(s) of their choice.
The functional split options can broadly be classified as either a high layer split (HLS) or a low layer split (LLS). The HLS is progressing as a work item within 3GPP. An overview of the 3GPP activities related to the HLS is provided here. For the LLS, the story is less mature, but still making significant progress. Many industry groups including, 3GPP, eCPRI, xRAN, TIP, TTA, SCF, IEEE 1914, IEEE 802.1CM, are working on parts of the puzzle and specifications are already available or soon to be available from many of these groups. The final part of this document provides an overview of how these various aspects related to the LLS are developing.
This document delineates the requirements in terms of entities and functions that characterise the capabilities of an E2E (end-to-end) framework. Architectural perspectives and considerations associated with the service categories – eMBB, mIoT, URLLC – envisioned for 5G (Fifth Generation) underscore the delineation of the E2E framework requirements. These requirements are intended as guidance in the development of inter-operable and market enabling specifications for a 5G ecosystem. This version resolves the outstanding Security and Identity management issues from the first published version, adds new references associated with those parts, and makes no changes to the other sections.
NGMN has updated its report “5G Security – Package 3: Mobile Edge Computing / Low Latency / Consistent User Experience”. The original version was published in 2016. The most significant updates, in sections 1.10.2 and 2.2.2, have been made in response to constructive feedback received from ETSI TC LI, and concern the interplay of law enforcement (lawful interception, data retention etc) with edge computing and low latency solutions. We also recognise the new terminology “Multi-Access Edge Computing”.
This document focuses on the pre-commercial network trials phase of the NGMN 5G Trial & Testing Initiative which has the following scope:
In March 2017, the project on “Service-based architecture in 5G” was launched. The main target of this work group was to investigate high-level requirements, use cases and guidelines for how operators can efficiently introduce and operate a service-based 5G network, i.e.,
This White Paper calls for the industry on standardisation, development and promotion of service-based 5G architecture.
The solution architecture presented in this document proposes simplified principles for handling network operations data that can be applied on a large scale. In this white paper, the authors focus on obtaining access to network operations data for the purpose of network monitoring and other applications.
