5G Mobile Network Architecture

This project will evolve 5G-PPP Phase 1 concepts to a fully-fledged architecture, develop prototype implementations and apply these prototypes to representative use cases.
5G MoNArch’s specific technical goal is to use network slicing, which capitalizes on the capabilities of software-defined networking (SDN), network functions virtualization (NFV), orchestration of access network and core network functions, and analytics, to support a variety of use cases in vertical industries such as automotive, healthcare, and media. Network slicing is a technique where the network is logically (not physically) sectorized so that separate services are supported by each “separate” logical network. As 5G networks need to support simultaneously various services with different requirements, network slicing will be a crucial aspect of the network architecture, providing flexible and adaptive networks which fulfill the 5G requirements.

The 5G-MoNArch architecture design will enhance the Phase 1 concepts with three enabling innovations:

• Inter-slice control and cross-domain management, to enable the coordination across slices and domains
• Experiment-driven optimization, to leverage experimental results to design highly performing algorithms
• Cloud-enabled protocol stack, to gain flexibility in the orchestration of virtualized functions

5G Novel Radio Multiservice adaptive network Architecture

The key objective of 5G NORMA is to develop a conceptually novel, adaptive and future-proof 5G mobile network architecture. The architecture is enabling unprecedented levels of network customisability, ensuring stringent performance, security, cost and energy requirements to be met; as well as providing an API-driven architectural openness, fuelling economic growth through over-the-top innovation. With 5G NORMA, leading players in the mobile ecosystem aim to underpin Europe’s leadership position in 5G.

Future Communication Architecture For Mobile Cloud Services

MobileCloud addresses a mobile network with decentralised computing and smart storage, offered as one service (on-demand, elastic and pay-as-you-go). The top-level objectives of the MobileCloud project are two-fold. On the one side, to develop a novel mobile “network” architecture and technologies, using proof-of-concept prototypes, to lead the way from current mobile networks to a fully cloud-based mobile communication system. On the other side, to extend cloud computing to support on-demand and elastic provisioning of novel mobile services.
