5G Security – Package 3: Mobile Edge Computing / Low Latency / Consistent User Experience

//in , //by

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”.

Definition of the Testing Framework for the NGMN 5G Pre-Commercial Network Trials

//in , //by

This document focuses on the pre-commercial network trials phase of the NGMN 5G Trial & Testing Initiative which has the following scope:

  • Developing a testing framework for 5G New Radio (NR), as developed by 3GPP, allowing the harmonization of the testing methodologies between the different parties conducting trials.
  • Devising a strategy for the trials activities to guarantee efficiency and success of the different trials activities.
  • Testing 5G capabilities in realistic conditions with pre-commercial equipment.

Service-Based Architecture in 5G

//in , //by

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.,

  • Identify high-level requirements or guidelines on Service-based architecture design in 5G including network function, interface/protocol, API design principle;
  • Investigate how operators can leverage Service-based architecture in 5G in the best way, e.g., customized network slicing, updating and managing network feature dynamically. Samples, possible approaches and guideline are expected
  • Investigate how the Service-based architecture can enable network exposure, e.g., expose network and function capabilities to third parties for value-added services.

This White Paper calls for the industry on standardisation, development and promotion of service-based 5G architecture.
