In this article we simulate the infrastructure costs for very fast networks in rural areas. FTTH technology has been around at least a decade, but two brand new technologies are expected to launch commercially next couple of years: 5G and G. Fast. This could have strong impact on fulfilment European Union, coverage objectives. seems be promising since LTE is not reasonable solution networks. FTTC so far valid alternative, last mile, only options ADSL VDSL, which however cannot reach data...
Abstract A new European Union regulatory framework for the telecom sector has been under a process of transposition to national laws by its member states that should have completed end 2020, notwithstanding some delays. core purpose is guarantee most citizens will access very fast Internet connections, capable 100 Mbps download link speed, regardless where they live. According this framework, in areas market does not deliver, governments are launch public tenders deployment, maintenance, and...
This paper describes the integration between Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP) and UWS Slice Manager within European project 6G Brains. The proposed solution allows for End-To-End(E2E) Slicing, enabling fine-grain optimal traffic engineering of components. work's findings ensure an E2E connection. external services to create slices attach them easily. detailed monitoring network slice's inner With this information, ONAP can improve by creating optimising on demand. validation presents...
The Fifth Generation Mobile Networks has transformed the paradigm of mobile network communications. In Beyond networks, Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are crucial components, optimizing resource management to improve performance as well end-users Quality Service while lowering operating costs. This work makes use an End-to-End 5G architecture validate three demonstrations: 1) Radio Access Network monitoring using a Flexible RIC's xApp; 2) Core Network's metrics...
Intent Based Networking (IBN) is a promising approach for automating and managing large complex networks. Integrating Voice-enabled Virtual Assistants (VVAs) with IBN Software Defined (SDN) has improved network management efficiency flexibility. However, there still room optimization improvement in installing intents industrial scenarios. Network Orchestration Automation plays an important role within the Beyond 5G 6G Networks, considering existing practices orchestrating Functions. This...
Extensive research and engineering work has already been made in recent years concerning Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) precise positioning solutions, as well on private networks, with a unique incidence its industrial applications. However, how these are linked together was not the subject of any particularly relevant publication. 3GPP, specification V2X Services based NR, stipulated that can only occur two specific spectrum bands, namely n38 n47, where former concerns networks...

The lack of broadband access causes a serious risk social exclusion, by preventing citizens from full and economic participation in the society. To avoid this risk, concept subsidized rural networks was developed European Commission, which an operator builds, maintains operates network (usually open network) capable providing at least 100 Mbps connection to subscribers; deployed low density regions being publicly when unprofitable. In article, we suggest methodology measure realistic value...
Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) is an important part of next generation networks. The dimension these networks divided into two components, the bandwidth dimensioning and hardware dimensioning. This paper will present a new method for required (since shared among all users in network, it to know mean user throughput) proves that order make network certain region (not only equipment itself but also total km fiber used) operator need some basic characteristics itself, such as area region, population...
The Radio Access Network (RAN) is undergoing deep changes in the transition to beyond 5G systems. Open-Radio (O-RAN) alliance aims split RAN architecture and support heterogeneity. At same time, Open-Source Software (OSS) solutions like OpenAirInterface srsRAN initiatives attempt incorporate several stake-holders. This work proposes an End-to-End (E2E) orchestration framework using OSS that are O-RAN compliant. A high-level presented focused on Intelligent Controller (RIC): connection...
5G aims to support ubiquitous connectivity, ultra-Reliable Low Latency (uRLLC), and massive device communication in Next Generation networks. To achieve these objectives, the Open-Radio Access Networks (O-RAN) alliance decouple Radio Network (RAN) architecture allow heterogeneity. ensure services' requirements, it is necessary guarantee solutions that improve management of network. This work proposes an End-to-End (E2E) orchestration framework for a infrastructure with open-source...
The European Union has been battling against the digital divide for several decades now when trying to mitigate risk of social exclusion arising from lack broadband access, preventing citizens full and economic participation in society. This done past by ensuring that a minimum set services would be available all end-users at an affordable price. However, various aspects rapid advances technology, market developments changes user demand as well evolution telecommunications infrastructure...
Risks are significant when implementing large-scale projects such as 5G. The higher the overall risk of 5G project, lower operators' willingness to invest in millimetre wave spectrum and vice-versa; i.e. price should be negatively correlated with project risk. In this paper, we propose an array-based method for estimating financial risks introducing its correspondence prices. is based on Monte Carlo simulations, deriving appropriate maximum value operator' pay a license.
The European Union has recently launched an ambitious plan to mitigate drastically, by 2025, the number of households lacking access a 100 Mbps broadband connection through subsidisation deployment network infrastructure in rural areas. Decision makers such as governments and regulatory authorities therefore have choose, among pool alternatives, technology capable delivering required throughput on large scale, based trade-off between costs subscribers' perceived utility for each alternative....
Nowadays, we are accustomed to using voice virtual assistants in Smart Home contexts or ask for instructions. The potential that this technology presents has been growing, however, and even with the transition Industry 4.0, these capabilities significantly unexplored industrial environments. In of high automation, human operators will have more sophisticated interventions, being supported collaborating intelligent systems execute operations receive information dynamically proactively. goal...
In the mid-term future, vehicles will generate large amounts of data for both standalone usage (e.g., to recognize road features and external elements such as lanes, signs, pedestrians) cooperative lane merging). However, processing captured video image results comes with significant computational requirements GPUs). Computer vision tasks, feature extraction, are unfeasible from a business perspective if performed directly in User Equipment (UE), automotive manufacturers unwilling increase...
The future of goods transportation will rely on increased efficiency, lower risks, and diminished delays through the use vehicle platoons that benefit from vehicular connectivity using V2X (Vehicle to Everything) applications. This article describes a system offers aforementioned platoons, based AI-enhanced 5G for resource allocation in wireless platoon intra-communications under three scenarios (latency emergency braking, management tunnels, communications interference traffic congestion)....
This paper presents a study on cost/benefit analysis regarding WiMAX in Europe. The first step is the engineering process (the cellular planning to be more accurately) which number of base stations needed provide coverage and ensure quality service given environment (rural, suburban or urban) calculated through mathematical models.
