Fifth-generation (5G) envisages a "hyper-connected society" where an enormous number of diverse entities could communicate with each other anywhere and at any time, some which will demand extremely challenging performance requirements such as sub-millisecond latency, higher data rates. Cloud-enabled radio access networks (CE-RANs) intelligence is placed the edge mobile network in proximity end users emerge promising solution to improve online experience. To make CE-RAN more flexible...
In this manuscript, we present the main concepts of 5G-PPP SESAME project dedicated to implementation Cloud-Enabled Small Cells (CESCs), able support edge cloud computing in a multi-tenant, multi-service ecosystem. More particularly, give preview concept at component/sub-system, system and operation level. At component/sub-system level, detail our plan deploy multi-operator enabled small cells, enhanced with virtualised execution platform for 5G. envisaged architecture manage control...
Recently, mobile broadband networks are focused on bringing additional capabilities to the network edge. For instance, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) brings storage and processing closer user i.e., at radio access network, in order deploy services with minimum delay. In this paper, we propose a resource constrained cloud-enabled small cell that includes MEC server for deploying edge computing functionalities. We present architecture special focus realizing proper forwarding of data packets...
In recent times, mobile broadband networks are focused on bringing different capabilities to the edge of network. Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) addresses this issue by placing compute and storage resources closer Radio Access Network (RAN), with an aim reduce end-to-end latency, ensure better service delivery, offer improved user experience. work, we propose SDEC - a Software Defined platform, that provides services be consumed authorized applications thus enabling delivery mission-critical...

With the wide range of application scenarios and associated requirements expected for Fifth Generation (5G) networks, increased complexity in management network will require smart mechanisms able to collect a multitude different metrics analyse them extract knowledge that can drive an efficient decision making. For this reason, future networks are incorporate telemetry analytics tools support procedures. In context, paper presents monitoring framework is being developed by 5G ESSENCE project...
The exponential growth of mobile data traffic still remains an important challenge for the network operators. In response, 5G scene needs to couple fast connectivity and optimized spectrum usage with cloud networking high processing power, optimally combined in a converged environment. this paper, we investigate two research projects; SESAME [1] COHERENT [2]. We consider proposed architectures corresponding key components, order highlight common aspects towards architecture design.
The surge of the Internet traffic with exabytes data flowing over operators' mobile networks has created need to rethink paradigms behind design network architecture. inadequacy 4G UMTS Long term Evolution (LTE) and even its advanced version LTE-A is evident, considering that will be extremely heterogeneous in near future ranging from 4K resolution TV machine-type communications. To keep up these changes, academia, industries EU institutions have now engaged quest for new 5G technology. In...
