WS-05: Emerging Technologies of Open Networks for 5G/B5G

Primary tabs

IEEE GLOBECOM 2019 Workshop on Emerging Technologies of Open Networks for 5G/B5G will be held in Big Island, Hawaii, USA, in the morning of Monday December 9, 2019 in conjunction with IEEE Globecom 2019.

Three key application scenarios (i.e., enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine type communications (mMTC), and ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC)) in 5G break the boundaries of communications between human beings in traditional mobile communications, forcing 5G to support communication of human-to-machine, and machine-to-machine. However, current mobile networks are lacking the flexibility or openness to allow customized wireless service. It is difficult to implement a network that can simultaneously meet all kinds of requirements from both mobile Internet and Internet of Things (IoT). On the one hand, the ubiquitous TNs propel diverse applications and increasingly multifarious requirements in various scenarios (e.g., dense residential areas, office, factories, and hospitals). On the other hand, diverse scenarios shall be satisfied by a wide range of communication technologies and international standards, such as cellular communications, WiFi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee. Conventional mobile networks would be inefficient to keep up with the rapidly evolving scenarios, requirements and technologies. This forces 5G/B5G networks to be customized to meet the differentiation and diversity of application requirements. The importance of open network lies in its potential to enable capability exposure of the 5G/B5G network by leveraging universal infrastructures, open network architectures, open source software and state-of-the-art enabling technologies (such as software defined networking, network function virtualization, multi-access edge computing and network slicing, etc.).
