5G Automation Architecture

Mobile service providers are facing increased customer demand with stagnant average revenue per user (ARPU), forcing the need for new revenue-generating services. Network transformation is needed in all network domains to meet this demand and enable new revenue streams for service providers. This transformation remains daunting for many operators.

5G by its nature spans many domains beyond mobility and requires a transformation unseen so far. This paper will provide a simplified view of 5G automation architecture by focusing on per-domain and cross-domain automation and orchestration, while taking into consideration 5G components such as Cloud-RAN, Control User-Plane Separation (CUPS), Multiaccess Edge Computing (MEC), network slicing, and xHaul that have to work in tight synergy.
