Hi All,
5GPPP just issued 5GPPP View on 5G Architecture v4.0
This document is organized as follows. The overall architecture description in Chapter 2 discusses the new stakeholders in the mobile network ecosystem and how the architectural work is taking into account their requirements in all the domains of the network. Then, we move to the new findings into the specific network domains, starting from Chapter 3, which details the RAN architecture and how the new technology is supporting very low latency services at the edge. Chapter 4 describes the CN architectural aspects, with the added support to new technologies, such as multicast and precise positioning. We move to the discussion of the MANO aspects in Chapter 5, with a specific view on how to provide autonomous management of network slices over a softwarized network. Chapter 6 collectively discusses new technology enablers that cannot be bound to one domain only, targeting specific infrastructure deployments at all levels, i.e., across network domains. In particular, the very important trend set by non-public networks (NPNs), also known as private networks, is discussed here. Finally, Chapter 7 briefly discusses the different projects' efforts in bringing such new architectures into practice, describing how new use cases and solutions can be effectively provided by specific architectural instantiations.
