5G Network Architecture and the Future Mobile Internet
2017-05-03 14:00 - 15:00 (Europe/Paris) | LINCS Seminars room, 23, avenue d'Italie, Paris, 75013,France
Abstract:
This talk provides a discussion of one of thecentral design challenges associated with next-generation 5G wirelesssystems - that of effectively converging 3GPP-based mobile networks withthe global Internet. Although the trend towards "flat" IP-basedarchitectures for cellular networks is well under way with LTE,significant architectural evolution will be needed to achieve the goal ofsupporting the needs of mobile devices and applications as "first-class"services on the Internet. Several emerging mobility service scenariosincluding hetnet/small cell, multi-network access, mobile cloud, IoT(Internet-of-Things) and V2V (vehicle-to-vehicle) are examined and relatednetwork service requirements such as user mobility, disruption tolerance,multi-homing, content/service addressability and context-aware deliveryare identified. Drawing from our experience with the ongoing NSF-sponsoredMobilityFirst future Internet architecture project, we outline anamed-object protocol solution based on the GUID (Globally UniqueIdentifier) Service Layer which enables a clean separation of naming andaddressing, and provides intrinsic support for a wide variety of mobilityservices. The talk concludes with a brief outline of the MobilityFirstproof-of-concept prototype currently being deployed on the GENI meso-scalenetworking testbed.
