It concludes with the success of the European research project 5 G-CrosshaulAfter three years of work, successfully concluded the European research project 5 G-Crosshaul, which has managed to produce a network of transport 5G integrated, innovative, optimized and able to flexibly connect access points radio 5G and networking centralized in the cloud.
A consortium of twenty companies and organizations the telecommunications sector has announced the successful completion of the European research project 5 g-Crosshaulcoordinated by the University Carlos III of Madrid (UC3M).
After three years of work have managed to define what is already the concept of de facto a 5G integrated transport network, a crucial step towards the implementation of the future system of 5G communications.
The 5 G-Crosshaul Consortium was selected by 2015 to develop a transport network 5G which integrate the backhaul and the fronthaul, two classic segments of 4G telecommunication networks. In the fifth generation of communication networks, is expected to replace the 4 G around 2020, these two segments are fused into something that is known as crosshaulYou must allow a reconfiguration adaptable and defined by all the elements of network software in a management framework unified, multi-user and service-oriented.
Transport network presenting now is capable of connecting flexibly access points radio 5G and functions of the central network hosted in the cloud. This configuration is accomplished through the implementation of an infrastructure of control in conjunction with a unified data plane, which integrates innovative technologies high capacity transmission as well as new architectures of switching latency deterministic.
"The data plane is like a muscle, while the infrastructure of control would be like a brain. And thanks to its integration what we get here is that move an enormous amount of data in a very short time, and we can do it by controlling how long it takes to complete this process,"clarify the researchers.
"Has been honored oversee one of the most ambitious to date research and development efforts to define the 5G transport network", says project coordinator 5GCrosshaul, Arturo Azcorra, Professor of the Department of Telematics Engineering the UC3M and director of IMDEA Networks. "The results of the project 5 G-Crosshaul represent an important advance for scientific knowledge and the international standardization of systems 5G. Ultimately, they have contributed to an increase of the global competitiveness of Europe in 5G".
The 5 G-Crosshaul solution has been demonstrated and validated through 18 experiments that integrate multiple technology components of the project partners. Outside laboratory trials were conducted in Berlin, Madrid, Barcelona and Taiwan, achieving less than millisecond latency, performance of tens of Gbps and savings of energy and cost of up to 70 percent, depending on the deployment scenario . Tests also showed the speed of implementation of the service (in minutes), thanks to the use of the concepts of SDN (software-defined networking) and NFV (virtualization of networking).
Huge increase in bandwidth"The 5 G-Crosshaul project has produced a new transport network that manages a general optimization of resources and leads capital investment and operating costs to a reasonable return on investment", said the technical director of this project, Xavier Costa, Deputy director-general of NEC Laboratories Europe networks and r & d security division. "Innovation level reached by the project has prepared the scenario to be able to offer the huge increases in bandwidth and latency ultra low requiring the fifth generation of network technologies".
The results of the final examination of the project, carried out at the headquarters of the laboratorys r & d 5TONIC at IMDEA Networks by independent experts appointed by the European Commission, confirm that the 5 G-Crosshaul project "has achieved its objectives and milestones and has" retrieved exceptional results with a significant immediate or potential impact", according to the report prepared by the aforementioned experts.
In addition, within the framework of this project have been 91 scientific publications in different magazines of prestige, 74 presentations at conferences, 28 shows (including several events like Mobile World Congress) and 35 contributions to the rules international standardization, among other results. The report by EU experts also pointed out that "several key innovations have been identified and some of them have been assigned to products for exploitation. So far, the project has recorded five patent applications. "It is expected that future plans of exploitation arise from partners, outside the umbrella of the project and based on these innovations".
"Throughout its useful life, the 5 G-Crosshaul project has successfully completed more than 60 technological and informational contributions for the advancement of standards 5 G", said Paola Iovanna, who works for Ericsson and is the Chief innovation of 5 G-Crosshaul. The project has resulted in radical technological innovations, several directly allocated to products, which places this project as one of the most innovative and unique to date.
"The relevance of the project will go beyond its impressive track record for having brought together a diverse set of partners from the entire ecosystem of 5G and advanced research carried out, complemented with a set of innovative shows," it concludes. Thomas Deiss, Mobile networks, Nokia. "Deployments 5G current and coming, not only in the EU but worldwide, the importance of the transport network not should be ignored; 5 g-Crosshaul has made important contributions to this recognition, maintaining a holistic perspective on all the technologies that are shaping the mobile networks of transport of the future today".
