Key purpose
5G-NORMA will be present at the 5G PPP booth alongside METIS II, XHAUL and FANTASTIC5G. 5G NORMA develops a novel, adaptable and future-proof 5G mobile network architecture. This architecture will be validated by demos showing (1) its capability to support natively multiple services on a shared network and (2) Software Defined Mobile network Control (SDMC) which applies the SDN principles to mobile network specific functions. At ICT 2015, a preliminary version of the demo concept will be presented, which will consist on network emulations with 3D visualizations, real-world prototypes for 5G-base stations and emulation of the cloud infrastructure that will support the 5G network deployment.
