5G End-to-End Architecture Framework v4.31
//in Publications //by Klaus MoschnerThis document delineates the requirements in terms of entities and functions that characterise the capabilities of an E2E (end-to-end) framework. Architectural perspectives and considerations associated with the service categories – eMBB, mIoT, URLLC – envisioned for 5G (Fifth Generation) underscore the delineation of the E2E framework requirements. These requirements are intended as guidance in the development of interoperable and market enabling specifications for a continuing advancement of the 5G ecosystem of heterogenous access, virtualization, autonomic capabilities, forward-looking service enablers, and emerging usage scenarios.
5G White Paper 2
//in Publications //by Klaus MoschnerNGMN published its first 5G White Paper in 2015, providing an operator vision of 5G and serving as a guideline for 5G definition and design. Since then, the White Paper has been referenced by standards development and industry organisations when producing 5G specifications and promoting the 5G ecosystem.
This second 5G White Paper begins with a review and expansion of the vision in the first 5G White Paper. It then highlights some of the vertical industries that 5G will progressively support, showing how mobile network operators can provide both network and services to meet the varied requirements of the different markets. A high-level description is provided of key technology enablers that have matured or been identified since the first 5G White Paper, and that are required to meet the Verticals’ requirements. Specific consideration is given to sustainability, the latest considerations and recommendations on IPR and spectrum are provided, and we conclude with some key messages and actions to industry. Sections listing abbreviations, definitions and references then complete the document.
Recommendation on RF Cluster Connector – Antenna to Radio Module Pinout Alignment
//in Publications //by Klaus MoschnerThis White Paper adresses the alignment of 8T8R antenna and 8T8R radio module pinout with a unique naming system and pinout order on repeatable basis to simplify rigging of installations. This shall help to mimimise the potential for cross feeder/connection issues.
The goal is to have one simple naming convention which allows different vendors to manufacture only one product variant to simplify deployment logistics and future site maintenance.
This document is the output of Phase 2 of the NGMN cluster connector project.
Recommendation on Base Station Active Antenna System Standards
//in Publications //by Klaus MoschnerThe main scope of this White Paper is to describe and capture the electrical and mechanical key performance parameters of Active Antenna Systems and how to exchange this data electronically.
In addition, for the aim of RF-Electromagnetic Field exposure, a description of mechanisms to monitor and limit the power radiated by Active Antenna Systems is provided.
NGMN Security Consideration of Low Layer Split in O-RAN
//in Publications //by Klaus MoschnerIn this Liaison Statement from NGMN to the O-RAN Alliance, the NGMN Alliance informs O-RAN that the security of low layer split in O-RAN needs to be globally considered. Security considerations on threats depend on the deployment model and use case. NGMN therefore proposes a two-phase approach to mitigate such threats.
