5G -TMotivation

• From rigid interconnection to SDN/NFV-based 5G Mobile Transport and Computing Platform (MTP)

• Technical approach: •  Enable Vertical Industries to meet their service

requirements within customised MTP slices; and •  Aggregate and Federate transport networking and

computing fabric, from the edge up to the core and cloud, to create and manage MTP slices throughout a federated virtualized infrastructure

5G -TMain building blocks

• Vertical Slicer •  logical entry point for verticals to support the

creation of their transport slices in a short time-scale

• Service Orchestrator •  federation of transport networking and computing

resources from multiple domains and allocation to slices

• Mobile Transport and Computing Platform •  underlying unified transport stratum for integrated

fronthaul and backhaul networks
