ABSTRACT

An example of how an Innovation Hub has been developing new fifth generation business opportunities in the dialogue with the industry verticals about the requirements for shorter latency. The Innovation Hubs can get a central role through the different pilots and provide feedback to the network infrastructure equipment vendors and the industry deploying the individual use-cases. The envisioned use-cases for sixth generation are far from the network capabilities provided in today’s realized use-cases such as Mobile Broadband, Massive/Broadband Internet of Things, and voice services that are widely deployed using fourth generation. The demands to the network will evolve due to the continuous increase in expectations for what a good service looks like, but also due to the new technical capabilities offered by the network, e.g., better positioning accuracy, shorter response times, and faster bitrate. The Network Slicing concept enables optimized resource orchestration provided by automation and network programmability, enabled by holistic policy framework, analytics, and information models.
