| The 5G IA signed two major partnerships in December 2018. The first one is a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) inked with the European Cyber Security Organisation (ECSO). It aims at enhancing future cooperation in the field of cyber security and 5G communication networks. The second one was signed with the Alliance for Internet of Things Innovation (AIOTI) to explore opportunities of new combinations of IoT applications built on world-class digital infrastructures.
The Memorandum of Understanding formalises the mutual interaction and cooperation in exchanging information and experience in the field of cyber security and 5G, to identify and address the needs of vertical sectors and research priorities for the development of secure technologies and reliable 5G platforms, as well as to prevent fragmentation in terms of technology deployment across borders and sector. ECSO and 5G IA have a shared objective of establishing a common and coordinated strategy for a secure and trustworthy 5G communication network, as its application will have an impact on many sectors, including e-health, industry 4.0, intelligent transport, entertainment & media, just to mention a few. The strengthened cooperation between ECSO and 5G IA will further support the European Commission in its proposal to have a strong European leadership in 5G communications and cyber security.

CfP Workshops @IEEE WCNC – CLEEN 2019 |
|
| Marrakech, Morocco – April 15-18, 2019
WS on How cloudy and green will mobile network and services be? 5G-Transformer and 5G-Coral jointly organise the 7th workshop on Cloud Technologies and Energy Efficiency in Mobile Communication Networks@ CLEEN 2019 and call for papers.
This workshop explores novel concepts to allow for flexibly centralised radio access networks using cloud-processing based on open IT platforms, exploiting network virtualization and multi-access edge computing technologies that are recognized as key enablers for the definition of future 5G systems. This workshop will cover technologies across PHY, MAC, and network layers, technologies that extrapolate the cloud-paradigm to the radio access and backhaul network, and will analyse the network evolution from an energy efficiency perspective. It will study the requirements, constraints, and implications for mobile communication networks, and also potential relationship with the offered service, both from an academic and industrial point of view. For more information on the Workshop read more here. WS on Cloud Design
5G is expected to introduce disruptive use-cases thanks to its ultra-reliable, low-latency, high-speed connectivity such as remote healthcare, autonomous cars, advanced robotics, AR/VR, IoT… But this “golden digital age” will not become a reality with today’s bulky mobile networks Infrastructure-As-A-Service model and a more agile and powerful model directly inspired by web scale players “cloud-native” approach is required. This model leverages Micro-Services Architecture (MSA) and is called the Platform-As-A-Service:
An ideal 5G PaaS should not only facilitate building, shipping and running virtual network functions (VNF) with “telco-grade” quality, it should also combine those VNF with all sorts of third-party applications (from start-ups, FOSS, Verticals…) for creating new more versatile and powerful cloud objects breaking silos between connectivity and computing. More information here. WS on advanced 5G radio access network features and performance
5G-XCast and ONE 5G are co-organising a workshop on Advanced 5G radio access network features and performance at IEEE WCNC in Marrakech, Morocco (15-19 April 2019) and call for papers. WS on “Satellite-terrestrial interworking: a pillar of forthcoming 5G systems”
This workshop aims at discussing recent technology developments, at highlighting still open issues, and at identifying related business opportunities and the market perspectives of a smooth satellite-terrestrial networks integration. Recent theoretical and experimental results, coming out mainly but not only from a few key international research projects, as well as standardization efforts and regulatory bodies matters in the direction of satellite-terrestrial interworking will be discussed and clarified.
