This paper presents a beyond 5G fronthaul network with dynamic beamforming and -steering. The proposed solution deploys optical (OBF) by combining space division multiplexing (SDM), analogue radio-over-fiber (ARoF), the novel beam forming (OBFN) technologies. From service management orchestration (MANO) point of view, also an advanced software defined networking (SDN) Network Function Virtualization (NFV) control architecture developed goal to optimally manage reconfigure physical layer...
One of the key challenges in developing 5G/6G is to offer improved vertical service support providing enlarged flexibility, coverage and connectivity while enhancing business relations among different stakeholders. To address this challenge, Network Service Federation (NSF) a required feature enable deployment management services that may span multiple provider domains owned by operators and/or providers. In demonstration, we show our proposed NSF solution dynamically deploy an eHealth...
By delivering end-to-end latencies down to 5ms, data rates of up 20Gbps, and ultra-high reliability 99.999%, 5G is extending the capabilities numerous industry verticals, including Transport & Logistics (T&L). As T&L has a pivotal role in modern production distribution systems, it expected leverage technology significantly increase efficiency safety operations, through automating optimizing processes resource usage. However, be able truly benefit from 5G, design, development, as well...
5G Stand Alone (SA) networks are starting to be considered, designed and implemented in multiple countries various forms (public, private, experimental). SA mass adoption is expected materialize by 2025. Mass deployment anticipated at a large scale, due the rich features capabilities offered networks, including but not limited slicing, service orchestration automation, bringing benefits of among industry stakeholders verticals. The concept Network Applications gaining momentum, as way ease...
The proliferation of 5G technology is enabling vertical industries to improve their day-to-day operations by leveraging enhanced Quality Service (QoS). One the key enablers for such performance network slicing, which allows telco operators logically split into various virtualized networks, whose configuration and thus can be tailored verticals low-latency high throughput requirements. However, given end-to-end perspective ecosystems where slicing needs applied on all segments, including...
BGP reconvergence events involving a large number of prefixes may result in the loss amounts traffic. Based on observation that very small carries vast majority traffic, we propose Power Prefixes Prioritization (PPP) to ensure routes these popular converge first. By doing so, significantly reduce amount traffic lost during events. To achieve this, PPP obtains an ordered list through inspection, and configures resulting prefix rank routers prioritize processing advertisement routes. We model...
While 5G Non-Stand Alone (NSA) networks are quickly being deployed across multiple nations, providing a first sense of the capabilities connectivity, adoption by various vertical industry sectors and its integration into their day-to-day operations is progressing slowly. This partially due to perceived complexity deploying services over fact that stakeholders do not have clear understanding potential offerings 5G. To address that, concept Network Applications (NetApps) picking up steam which...
