What is 5G?
An extremely flexible and highly programmable e2e system, application, customer,
time and location aware
Serving at best high diversity types of communications (Human & Machine) with
different performance attributes
Natively leveraging NFV technologies:
► Support on demand composition of network functions and capabilities
► Enforce required capability/capacity “where and when needed”
Profitably accommodating low- and high-ARPU traffic and sustainability thanks to cost
saving and new business opportunities
Being future-proof and ready to serve even not yet identified use case and radio
technologies
9
5G Common composable network Use case driven creation of dedicated networks optimized for specific service scenarios / customers
(network slices)
Combination of functions available in a catalogue, through the NFV Orchestration Platform
Only virtualisation can allow the
needed flexiblity and sustainability

Mobile lifecycles: from early studies to standardIs it too early to work on 5G?
• Major technology shift
roughly once every 10
years.
• Standardization
usually starts 4-5
years before the first
commercial launch of
a new generation
• R&D activity usually
starts 2-3 years before
proposals come to
standards…

NFV,SDN, MEC….++
Software will have a key role in the
5G Convergent Network
What else? Softwarisation

Mobile Fronthaul: another aspect
of Softwarisation
C-PRI, ETSI ORI, projects as i-JOIN
are defining the radio side and the
functional splitting
Figures are somehow worrisome
What else? Fronthaul and backhaul evolution
ITU-T natural home for the fibre network
aspects
Collaboration is needed with the radio and
mobile architecture groups to assure
compatibility and best efficiency of the
solutions

Future networking: will IP still satisfy the 5G performance requirements?
What else? New Networking
Requirements on delay and reliability could in some cases be not easy to meet in
classic IP networksReplace?
Relay ?
Integrate?
New concepts as ICN, CCN….
