The development of test environments as close as possible to the real world scenarios is becoming a fundamental requirement in designing innovative network applications. This environment must be fully configurable and ...
Various Cloud layers have to work in concert in order to manage and deploy complex multi-cloud applications, executing sophisticated workflows for Cloud resource deployment, activation, adjustment, interaction, and monitoring. ...
This paper addresses the use of Self-X functions to support Small Cell as a Service (SCaaS) provisioning in multi-tenant scenarios, as one of the main components of the SESAME project. After presenting the scenarios, ...
Smart Cities applications and infrastructures are actively being developed and rolled out. However, maintenance complexity is significant, often limiting deployments to small regions or small cities. To support gradual or ...
The evolution of 5G mobile radio and its complex interaction with fixed access network infrastructures poses new challenges and opportunities. In this article, a software-defined converged fixed-mobile 5G architecture is ...
We propose an optical-wireless 5G infrastructure offering converged fronthauling/backhauling functions to support both operational and end-user cloud services. A layered architectural structure required to efficiently ...
The outstanding and continuous growth of the request of mobile broadband Internet access is creating the unprecedented need to rethink most of the design paradigms of the mobile network. Such trend is accompanied by ...
Application service providers (ASPs) now develop, deploy, and maintain complex computing platforms within multiple cloud infrastructures to improve resilience, responsiveness and elasticity of their applications. On the ...
The arrival of head-mounted displays (HMDs) to the consumer market requires a novel content format that is, first, adapted to the specificities of immersive displays and, second, that takes into account the current reality ...
Network slicing is a major trend in the design of future 5G networks that will enable operators to effectively service multiple industry verticals with a single network infrastructure. Thus, network slicing will shape all ...
With the increasing usage of cloud computing and dependence on a diverse set of distributed applications, users are reliant on consistent outcomes from a shared infrastructure. This drives the need for improved QoS guarantees ...
The paper elaborates on the technological and architectural innovations researched and developed by 5G-PPP Phase 1 projects and covering innovation areas such as 5G system design and evaluation, novel air interfaces, network ...
A seamless convergence between the connected TV and Virtual Reality (VR) ecosystems can open to the door to new fascinating scenarios. This paper initially introduces three EU H2020 projects (ImmersiaTV, ImAc and VRTogether) ...
5G networks will offer advanced functionalities and features such as high throughput, low latency, security and reliability by leveraging technologi-cal advances like network virtualization, edge computing and network ...
ImmersiaTV is a H2020 European project that targets the creation of novel forms of TV content production, delivery and consumption to enable customizable and immersive multi-screen TV experiences. The goal is not only to ...
Immersive content more and more present to inform, educate and entertain.
This white paper on AI/ML as enablers of 5G and B5G networks is based on contributions from 5G PPP projects that research, implement and validate 5G and B5G network systems. The white paper introduces the main relevant ...
In the Internet of Things (IoT), thousands of devices can be deployed to acquire data from the environment and provide service to several applications in different fields. In many cases, it is desirable that devices are ...
Vehicle-to-everything V2X applications usually have strict latency requirements that can be difficult to meet in traditional cloud-centric networks. By pushing resources to edge servers located closer to the users, end-to-end ...
