5G will be a catalyst for densification, because its deployment will often be driven by the need for targeted capacity, to enhance mobile broadband experience and support high device densities; and from 2020 onwards, by IoT and industrial services which require far greater coverage in-building and in remote areas. 5G will be a particularly strong […]
Author: Ricardo Preto Co-Author: Pedro Diogo The main goal of 5GCity is to define how to turn a city into a distributed and multi-tenant edge infrastructure enabling the orchestration and service programming of 5G services following a neutral host rational. These 5G services are expected to be used by municipalities to host Smart City services, […]
Authors: Alessandra Rastelli Maria Pia Sangalli A quick overview The term service monitoring refers to all the activities of collecting, aggregating, analyzing and displaying data relating to a system. The monitoring framework allows you to observe the status of a system and to predict / prevent possible problems before they affect its operation, optimizing user’s […]
Gabriele Baldoni To achieve is promises, of low latency and high bandwidth, 5G networks will rely on flexible programmable networks, leveraging well known technologies such as Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), but a key aspect of 5G is be the possibility to provide low latency connectivity to a […]
Michele Paolino VOSyS Twitter www.virtualopensystems.com/en/products/vosystrustedvim/ Security and trust are essential in smart cities environments because of the importance of the data they process and for their distributed architecture. In fact, citizen’s data coming from cameras, smart devices, mobility services, etc. need to be protected from data leakages, attacks and retaliations. […]
Hamzeh Khalili Shuaib Siddiqui With the emergence of 5G, a radical change on the information and Communication Technology (ICT) is observed. Networks are evolving quicker than ever toward smart systems featuring low latency, huge traffic […]
5GCITY AT EUCNC’18 The 27th edition of EuCNC 2018 in Ljubljana, Slovenia, last 18 to 21 June, as part of a series of technical conferences in the field of telecommunications, sponsored by IEEE ComSoc and EURASIP; were financially supported by the European Commission. The event was focusing on communication networks and systems, services and applications. It brought […]

A new manuscript describing and assessing the socio-techno-economic factors affecting the market adoption and evolution of 5G / CHARISMA networks has been accepted for publication at Telematics and Informatics. 5G networks are rapidly becoming the means to accommodate the complex demands of vertical sectors. The European project CHARISMA is aiming to develop a hierarchical, distributed-intelligence […]
Telecommunication networks have become a critical infrastructure for any society, enabling economic growth and social prosperity. Services continue to evolve, generating ever increasing workloads and network traffic with a wide diversity of patterns. This evolution is forcing the underlying network technologies to change, increasing the level of programmability, control and flexibility of configuration, while reducing […]
