Transport network support of IMT-2020/5G
In this issue
Mobile traffic directed onto transport networks has specific requirements to support IMT-2020/5G networks. Transport Network Support of IMT-2020/5G (February 2018) outlines the requirements with reference to 5G wireless architecture, 3GPP’s 5G architecture, the distribution architecture, interfaces, management and control, multi-service support, the support of 5G slicing in the transport network, and the deployment of radio access networks. The report addresses the synchronization requirements, and capacity, latency and network reach requirements. It also offers a set of deployment scenarios for making the transition to 5G wireless architecture.
