Exploring the changes in next generation cellular architecture
The University of Surrey’s 5G Innovation Centre has published a new Whitepaper exploring a disruptive change in next generation cellular architecture. ‘The Flat Distributed Cloud 5G Architecture Revolution’ discusses how the future 5G network will be designed to always make best use of the resources available at the time of each new communications request applicable to the context of the user at the time.
The paper proposes a disruptive change to cellular networking that reaches out to embrace an end-to-end view including appropriate aspects of the fixed/content distribution network.
The vision is of a more connected experience over a dynamic cloud-based architecture that separates the user plane and control plane and is much flatter. Amongst the design objectives is a more context aware network that aspires to predict popular content, collates group content and gets user data ready ‘just in time’ by harvesting user profile information that is traded between user and service and/or networks.
The architecture integrates the Internet of Things (IoT), in a graduated way, bringing legacy IoT with it and adding new 5G SCADA like (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) control system capabilities to the cellular framework. The more efficient resulting network is designed to employ the best of evolving NVF/SDN implementations and is able to sit on C-RAN, H-RAN and D-RAN according to transmission options.
