The ONE5G Approach Towards the Challenges of Multi-Service Operation in 5G Systems

ONE5G (E2E-aware Optimizations and advancements for the Network Edge of 5G New Radio) is an European funded collaborative project, aiming at designing Radio Access Network (RAN) enhancements to address the multiplicity of services and deployment scenarios for 5G. The project will build upon the specification already defined in 3GPP to propose advanced link techniques and optimization schemes taking into account an end-to-end (E2E) performance view. This paper describes the scenarios considered in the project and the set of uses cases considered, as well as the approach to define Key Performance Indicators reflecting the E2E performance. The technical areas investigated in the project are presented, as well as the planned prototypes.
