2. These changes will take place within the forthcoming 5G
Introduction
Communication networks of the year 2020 will be enormously richer and much more complex than those of today.
Virtualisation and software-based network functionalities will further strengthen network flexibility and reactivity
By providing a proper means for better network management and
By offering new services.
These changes will take place within the forthcoming 5G
5G will not only be an evolution of mobile broadband networks, but also
will bring new unique network and service capabilities,
will create a sustainable and scalable technology,
will establish a proper ecosystem for technical/business innovation.

3. Transforming traditional networks
The whole ICT ecosystem is moving from technology-driven approaches to service-driven ones.
Next-generation network deployments will need to satisfy more flexible and varied requirements which will be dictated by the needs of specific stakeholders/ applications/ services.
Technology-wise, this implies the need for transforming the traditional network infrastructures and isolated “on- premises” or remote cloud application hosting facilities into open, scalable and elastic ecosystems that can support a large variety of dynamically varying applications and services.

4. European Approach to 5G 5G networks Will be more flexible and open.
Will evolve more easily than today’s networks
Will have embeded sensing, computing and storage resources in a converged and unified infrastructure, able to “orchestrate” the delivery of services in a secure manner.
Will provide a significantly higher system capacity than today and solve any anticipated spectrum scarce.
Will promote a common network management, in terms of
constant performance optimisation,
fast failure recovery,
fast adaptations to changes in network loads, architecture,

6. 5G KPIs 1000 times higher wireless capacity (compared to 2010).
Saving up to 90% of energy per service provided.
Reduction of the average service creation time cycle from 90 hours to 90 minutes.
Zero downtime for services provision.
Very dense deployments of wireless communication links to connect over 7 trillion wireless devices serving over 7 billion people
Enabling advanced user controlled privacy, to guarantee a proper level of protection of the facilities offered.

8. Challenges for Infrastructures
Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) including augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR) reaching even 10 Gbps, e.g. for the support of UHD (e.g. 4K) video streams, while low latency (~2ms for user plane and 20ms for control plane) and high reliability are also required.
Massive Machine-Type Communications (mMTC) or Massive Internet of Things (mIoT) to support huge numbers of devices/sensors with lower costs, enhanced coverage, and long battery life, and low latency (~10ms for user plane).
Ultra-Reliable, Low-Latency Communications (URLLC) or Critical Communications referring to latency sensitive (1ms-2ms), wireless applications/services including industrial automation, drone control, new medical applications, autonomous vehicles.
