5G System Flexibility
Scope: Providing highly customized core networks appropriate to the infrastructure availability and service requirements
By defining a basic interface, micro-services can be brought together and deployed into an end-to-end service Dedicated core networks (network slices)
- Based on a modular software platform – e.g. Authentication and Authorization, Identity Management, Policy control and charging, Reachability and Mobility Management, QoS and security
Dedicated edge networks
- Vertical – e.g. low-delay industrial wireless
- Application specific – e.g. vehicular communication
- Distributed – e.g. content caching, data aggregation
- Private – e.g. isolation between distinct security areas
