5G End-to-End Architecture Framework v3.0.8

16. September 2019/in Publications //by Klaus Moschner

The purpose of this document is to provide a high-level framework of architecture principles and requirements that provide guidance and direction for NGMN partners and standards development organisations in the shaping of the 5G suite of interoperable capabilities, enablers, and services. It builds on the architectural concepts and proposals implied by the NGMN White Paper and subsequent deliverables published by NGMN.

The elements of functional virtualisation shift of computing to the edges of the network, and leveraging of spectrum distribution and flexibility, are among the dominant themes that shape the 5G ecosystem. Optimisation of operational and performance efficiencies, while creating and delivering an exceptional and customisable user experience is of paramount significance.

Joint NGMN/WBA RAN Convergence White Paper

Joint NGMN/WBA RAN Convergence Paper

3. September 2019/in Publications //by Klaus Moschner

In order to examine the best future solutions for convergence of Wi-Fi and 5G, this paper examines the current Wi-Fi interworking solutions available for 4G systems using either trusted or untrusted Wi-Fi access, through either Core Network based or RAN level integration. It also reviews the 3GPP 5G system approach to Wi-Fi access, which includes integration of untrusted Wi-Fi access in Release 15 and the new opportunities in Release 16 for trusted Wi-Fi access as well as wireline and cable modem access such as from a residential gateway. Release 16 specified Access Traffic Steering, Switching and Splitting (ATSSS) functionality is analyzed which enables data session over one or more concurrent accesses.

NGMN reaches 5G Milestone with Recommendation of Common Cluster Connector

27. August 2019/in Publications //by Klaus Moschner

This document describes the objective of the NGMN cluster connector taskforce project, outlines the process for reaching an industry wide decision meeting the objective, and summarizes the outcome of the decision.

The focus of this document is on Phase 1 of the NGMN cluster connector project; early 5G deployment of e.g. TDD/5G NR 8T8R antennas.

Definition of the Testing Framework for the NGMN 5G Pre-Commercial Networks Trials

6. August 2019/in Publications //by Klaus Moschner

The focus of this document is to evaluate the performance of 5G new radio (NR) which is based on the 3GPP standard.

The main purpose of this document is to assess and benchmark the performance of the 3GPP compliant 5G NR.

Initially the focus is on phase 1 (release 15) of the 5G NR standardisation which focuses on enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and some aspects of ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC).

Service-Based Architecture in 5G Case Study and Deployment Recommendations

31. July 2019/in Publications //by Klaus Moschner

The main target of this document is to investigate the following aspects, which were not covered in phase 1.

How to make services more decoupled to achieve independent Life Cycle Management (LCM) and flexible service deployment and management.
How to achieve high performance, including low delay, high concurrency, high reliability, and security
Investigate how to support roaming across different 5G core networks
Case study for generation of network slicing and edge computing by service
Case study and recommendations for a distribution strategy of network services
