The 5G PPP Architecture work group is organising a workshop on Architectural Evolution toward 6G Networks. The workshop is part of the 5G World Forum that is taking pace on 13-15 October 2021 in Virtual and Montreal, Canada The call for paper is published at https://5g-ppp.eu/Architectural-Evolution-toward-6G-Networks/  The goal of the...

5G-VINNI introduces the notion of 5G-VINNI Business Layer, which is a collection of BSS and OSS functions required for the operation of pre-commercial 5G testbeds and commercial 5G networks. In this white paper, we present the capabilities and design of the business layer, and a plan for the phased rollout...

5G-VINNI published experimental data used to validate “An Exposed Closed-Loop Model for Customer-Driven Service Assurance Automation”. The related research paper will be presented at EUCNC 2021. In the paper we propose an exposed closed-loop model based on service exposure which is meant to automate service assurance tasks like auto-scaling in...

The verticals task force of the TMV work group of the 5G PPP just released the white paper on service performance measurement methods over 5G experimental networks. This white paper analyses vertical use cases of various domains for their performance KPIs and their mapping to 5G network KPIs. The scope is...

The upcoming ETSI webinar is showcasing “ZSM ISG PoC#2: Automated network slice scaling in multi-site environments”. In this webinar, a PoC demo applied over a network slice deployed across two 5G-VINNI facility sites in Spain and Greece will show OSM and OpenSlice stacks collaboratively work to provide automation means for...

5G-VINNI deliverable D5.3 delivers the final 5G-VINNI Business Layer design and discusses how the identified Business Layer capabilities will gradually rollout along the 5G-VINNI Maturity Levels (MLs), starting from 5G-VINNI operation for internal experimentation purposes, up to the long-term vision for commercial 5G-VINNI experimentation as a service. In order to...
