본 논문에서는 5G 이동통신의 서비스 트래픽 특성 및 주파수를 분석하고, 5G 이동통신 서비스를 효율적으로 제공할 수 있는 망구축 및 운용 방안을 제시하였다. 5G 이동통신 서비스는 수 kbps의 음성 및 사물인터넷 서비스부터 1 Gbps 이상의 홀로그램 영상 서비스까지 다양한 데이터 전송 속도를 나타내고 있다. 5G 이동통신 서비스는 다양한 데이터 전송 속도와 모바일 서비스 트래픽의 증가로 인한 다중 주파수 대역을 이용함으로써 다양한 셀 커버리지 환경을 나타낸다. 5G 이동통신 서비스를 효율적으로 제공하기 위해서는 새로운 서비스 환경에서 나타나는 서비스 커버리지와 다중 대역 주파수의 최적화된 망구축이 필요하다. 현재 논의되는 5G 주파수 블록을 고려하여 3.5 GHz 대역이 5G 서비스 100 Mbps를 셀 경계 200 m에서 제공한다고 가정하면, 28 GHz 대역은 1 Gbps의 홀로그램 서비스를 셀 경계 50 m에서 그리고 500 Mbps 4k UHD 서비스를 셀 경계 100 m에서 제공할 수 있음을 보여주고 있다. 따라서 다양한 5G 서비스를 다중 주파수 대역과 매칭하는 주파수 포트폴리오를 구성한 망구축 방안은 5G 이동통신 서비스를 효율적으로 제공할 수 있다.

Wireless access technologies are emerging to enable high data rates for mobile users and novel applications that encompass both human and machine-type interactions. An essential approach to meet the rising demands on network capacity and offer high coverage for wireless users on upcoming fifth generation (5G) networks is heterogeneous networks (HetNets), which are generated by combining the installation of macro cells with a large number of densely distributed small cells Deployment in 5G architecture has several issues because to the rising complexity of network topology in 5G HetNets with many distinct base station types. Aside from the numerous benefits that dense small cell deployment delivers, it also introduces key mobility management issues such as frequent handover (HO), failures, delays and pingpong HO. This article investigates 5G HetNet mobility management in terms of radio resource control. This article also discusses the key challenges for 5G mobility management.

Network and network functions virtualization (NFV) promise a number of attractive benefits and thus have driven mobile network operators to transform their previously static networks to more dynamic and software-defined networks. In this article, we share a mobile network operator's view based on implementation and deployment experiences in the wild during the past few years towards a software-defined 5G core network. More specifically, we present a practical point of view from mobile network operators and elaborate on why some of the virtualization benefits such as total cost of ownership (TCO) reduction are not easily realized as initially intended. Then, we describe 5G visions, services, and their requirements commonly agreed across mobile operators globally. Given the requirements, we then introduce desirable characteristics of 5G mobile core network and its key enabling technologies.

The competition to lead the next generation of mobile technologies, 6G, is underway while the deployment of 5G has not been implemented worldwide. ITU-R plans to develop technical requirements and standards after completing the 6G Vision by 2023. It can be considered too early to have a concrete view of the 6G core network architecture from this timeline. However, major stakeholders have started making their presence felt by publishing their views. From updated analysis on the technology and service trends proposed, we present a list of research directions on 6G core network from several perspectives: distribution of network functions to nearer edge locations; future fixed-mobile convergence, including low earth orbit satellites; highly-precise QoS guarantee; supporting an extremely wide variety of service requirements; AI-native automation and intelligence; and aligning with the evolution of radio access network.

The deployment of 5G is in full swing, with a significant yearly growth in the data traffic expected to reach 26% by the year and data consumption to reach 122 EB per month by 2022 [10]. In parallel, the idea of smart cities has been implemented by various governments and private organizations. One of the main objectives of 5G deployment is to help develop and realize smart cities. 5G can support the enhanced data delivery requirements and the mass connection requirements of a smart city environment. However, for specific high-demanding applications like tactile Internet, transportation, and augmented reality, the cloud-based 5G infrastructure cannot deliver the required quality of services. We suggest using multi-access edge computing (MEC) technology for smart cities' environments to provide the necessary support. In cloud computing, the dependency on a central server for computation and storage adds extra cost in terms of higher latency. We present a few scenarios to demonstrate how the MEC, with its distributed architecture and closer proximity to the end nodes can significantly improve the quality of services by reducing the latency. This paper has surveyed the existing work in MEC for 5G and highlights various challenges and opportunities. Moreover, we propose a unique framework based on the use of MEC for 5G in a smart city environment. This framework works at multiple levels, where each level has its own defined functionalities. The proposed framework uses the MEC and introduces edge-sub levels to keep the computing infrastructure much closer to the end nodes.

The increase in data traffic calls for investment in mobile networks; however, the saturating revenue of mobile broadband and increasing capital expenditure are discouraging mobile operators from investing in next-generation mobile networks. Mobile network sharing is a viable solution for operators and regulators to resolve this dilemma. This research uses a difference-in-differences analysis of 33 operators (including 11 control operators) to empirically evaluate the cost reduction effect of mobile network sharing. The results indicate a reduction in overall operating expenditure and short-term capital expenditure by national roaming. This finding implies that future technology and standards development should focus on flexible network operation and maintenance, energy efficiency, and maximizing economies of scale in radio access networks. Furthermore, mobile network sharing will become more viable and relevant in a 5G network deployment as spectrum bands are likely to increase the total cost of ownership of mobile networks and technical enablers will facilitate network sharing.

In 5G network environment, proactive mobility management is essential as 5G mobile networks provide new services with ultra-low latency through dense deployment of small cells. The importance of a system that actively controls device handover is emerging and it is essential to predict mobile trajectory during handover. Sequence-to-sequence model is a kind of deep learning model where it converts sequences from one domain to sequences in another domain, and mainly used in natural language processing. In this paper, we developed a system for predicting mobile trajectory in a wireless network environment using sequence-to-sequence model. Handover speed can be increased by utilize our sequence-to-sequence model in actual mobile network environment.

5G 인프라 보급과 더불어 기하급수적으로 증가하는 1인 미디어 방송, 유튜브와 같은 모바일 콘텐츠 서비스를 안정적으로 제공하기 위해서는 사용자 부근에 캐시 서버를 분산 배치하는 콘텐츠 전송 네트워크(CDN:Content Delivery Network) 도입이 필수적이다. 지역 캐시 없이 사용자가 콘텐츠 사업자(Content Provider)로부터 직접 서비스를 받는 트래픽이 늘어날수록 모바일 백홀(Backhaul)과 프론트홀(Fronthaul)에서 감당해야 할 부담은 상당히 증가하게 된다. 본 연구는 광기반 5G 프론트홀 구조와 캐싱 방법을 제안하여 모바일 백홀의 대역폭 및 서비스 품질을 개선하는 데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 우선 전용 광케이블을 프론트홀로 사용하는 콘텐츠 전송 네트워크와 수동광가입자망(PON:Passive Optical Network)을 사용하는 구조를 제안한다. 그 위에 PON 캐싱에 특화된 집화된 콘텐츠 요청 방법을 제안하고 모델링과 시뮬레이션을 통해 그 성능을 기존의 방식과 비교한다. 제안된 PON 캐싱은 기존 캐싱이 없는 구조에 비해 최대 0.5초의 평균접근시간 감소, 1/n개의 수신된 요청 패킷 감소, 약 60% 백홀 대역폭 절감 효과를 나타냈다. 이 연구는 모바일 백홀 비용과 서비스 품질 사이에서 고민하는 통신사업자들에게 하나의 참고 자료가 될 수 있으며, 추후 캐시 적중률을 더욱 끌어올리는 방안으로 확장될 것이다.

The mobile hotspot network (MHN), which is capable of providing a data rate of gigabits per second at high speed, is considered a potential use case of the future enhanced mobile broadband for 5G. Because a unidirectional network deployment has been considered for an MHN, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) can be employed to improve the system performance. For a practical implementation of NOMA under an MHN highway scenario where multiple pieces of MHN terminal equipment are served through the same beam simultaneously, a NOMA transceiver is proposed in this paper. For the NOMA transmitter, Gray-coded QAM constellation mapping is extended to arbitrary modulation order q. For the NOMA receiver, successive interference cancellation (SIC) is no longer necessary, and instead, a parallel demodulation is proposed. The numerical and simulation results suggest that the proposed NOMA transceiver outperforms the conventional NOMA SIC receiver and can be flexibly used for an MHN highway scenario.
