Press Release
* The 5G-MoNArch research project coordinated by Nokia started as part of
Phase II of the European 5G-PPP initiative
* 5G mobile architecture concepts from 5G-PPP Phase I are brought into
practice with industry-driven use cases and two real-world testbed
implementations
* 14 industry, academic and research institute partners co-operate in this
flagship project
August 22, 2016
Espoo, Finland - Nokia today formally launched the 5G MoNArch (5G Mobile Network
Architecture) research project. Supported and financed as part of Phase II of
the 5G Infrastructure Public Private Partnership (5G-PPP) - under the auspices
of the European Union's Horizon 2020 Framework Programme - 5G MoNArch will put
fifth-generation mobile network architecture into practice. The project
consortium, consisting of 14 leading industrial and academic partners and
coordinated by Nokia, will focus on the implementation of a set of 5G use cases
in real-world testbeds.
5G MoNArch's specific goal is to use network slicing, which capitalizes on the
capabilities of software-defined networking (SDN), network functions
virtualization (NFV), orchestration, and analytics, to support a variety of use
cases in vertical industries such as automotive, healthcare, and media. Network
slicing is a technique where the network is logically (not physically)
sectorized, so that separate services are supported by each "separate" logical
network. As 5G networks need to simultaneously support various services with
different requirements, network slicing will be a crucial aspect of the network
architecture, providing flexible and adaptive networks which fulfill the 5G
requirements.
Nokia strongly supports projects that bring together the public and private
sectors to advance technology, and has pursued this approach for decades. Since
2015, Nokia has been a leading contributor to 5G-PPP, coordinating the Phase I
research of 5G-NORMA - the leading European network architecture research
project setting the conceptual basis for 5G communications networks - and
providing key input to 3GPP standardization. Now, in the second phase of 5G-PPP,
5G MoNArch aims to complement the initial groundwork by bringing these concepts
to practical deployment.
5G MoNArch involves 14 key mobile network players from six European countries,
bringing together the complementary background and technical know-how required
to turn the project's vision into reality. It will run for two years with a
total budget of 7.7 million ?.
In continuation of 5G-NORMA, 5G-MoNArch enriches the original architectural
concepts of the first phase with innovations such as cloud-enabled network
protocols, and showcases the new technology in two testbeds. The flexible and
programmable architecture will support the vast variety of services, use cases,
and applications that 5G will bring in the next years.
The main objectives of 5G MoNArch are:
* Detailed specification and extension of 5G architecture
* Enhancement of architectural designs with key enabling innovations such as
inter-slice control and cross-domain management, experiment-driven modeling
and optimization, and native cloud-enabled protocol stack
* Functional innovations around the key technologies required for dedicated
5G use cases: resilience, security, and resource elasticity
* Deployment and experimental implementation of the architecture for two use
cases in real-world testbeds - heavy communications usage in a tourist-heavy
city, and secure and reliable communication in a seaport environment
* Evaluation, validation, and verification of the architecture performance

Peter Merz, head of End-to-End Mobile Networks Solutions at Nokia Bell Labs,
says: "5G PPP brings together a range of stakeholders from the communications
technology sector and other industries. We follow a shared architecture of what
the next-generation communications infrastructure needs to look like to enable
and meet the network demands of the next decade. 5G communication needs both
private and public entities to invest in the infrastructure and ensure Europe
remains competitive. Nokia is fully committed to the 5G-PPP: we have delivered
know-how and innovative technologies since its launch in 2015 in order to
strengthen the European 5G footprint."

About the 5G PPP
The 5G Infrastructure Public Private Partnership, 5G PPP, has been initiated by
the EU Commission and industry manufacturers, telecommunications operators,
service providers, SMEs and researchers.
In the 5G PPP, the 5G Infrastructure Association (5G IA) represents the private
side and the European Commission the public side. The 5G IA is committed to the
advancement of 5G in Europe and to build global consensus on 5G. The 5G PPP will
deliver solutions, architectures, technologies and standards for the ubiquitous
next generation communication infrastructures of the coming decades.

About Horizon 2020
Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU Research and Innovation programme ever with
nearly ?80 billion of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020) - in
addition to the private investment that this money will attract. It promises
more breakthroughs, discoveries and world-firsts by taking great ideas from the
lab to the market.
