Shorter RTT Latency

Reduced transport capacity

Main drivers for distribution:

• Reduced Latency

• Data explosion from devices

• Autonomous operation

Main drivers for centralization:

• Pooling gains

• Reduced OPEX/CAPEX

• Increased cache hit ratio

Increased pooling gains / cache hit ratio

Reduced OPEX

Summary

› 5G will support a wide range of use cases

› Diverse use cases require flexible

distribution of network functions through

network slicing and service chaining

› These capabilities require virtualization

› The downside of flexibility is complexity

› Complexity has to be addressed by

automation
