Building on the Use of Spatial Multiplexing 5G Networks Infrastructures and Showcasing Advanced technologies and Networking Capabilties

Deliverables

Project web site and Project collaborative tool

A web site will be created and launched. Both public and internal section will be created.

The purpose of this deliverable is to provide the migration roadmap towards a future SDM-enabled 5G network infrastructure and the deployment of the innovative solutions. The migration study is based on the models adopted for complete and partial coexistence with other technologies.

Unified SDN/NFV platform for network slicing

This deliverable reports on the design, integration and validation of the blueSPACE unified SDN/NFV platform for network slicing, which will be provided for both network, cloud and virtual function resources. The study includes new technologies available, such as virtualization, cloud-infrastructure orchestration and SDN with the expectation of providing a scalable solution which optimizes/simplifies the operator operations in order to reduce costs by the in-operation optimization and verification to support the NFV server scheduling for the optimal resource slicing and allocation.

Final report on dissemination activities and identified new business opportunities

This deliverable reports on the overall efforts of blueSPACE towards dissemination activities and identified new business opportunities.

Concept paper of the blueSPACE project

Concept paper describing the blueSPACE project.

Final report including PON and SDM RAN integration

This deliverable summarizes the studies on integration of PONs within the SDM-based RAN fronthaul architecture exploiting the spatial diversity provided by the fiber medium.

Physical architecture, system and network requirements

The purpose is to list and categorize the possible solutions and primarily specify the required extensions for the support of the SDM capabilities offered by the network. The solutions are then adapted to the proposed architecture with emphasis on: a) the network dimensioning and coverage, including the number of supported RRU sites b) the exact definition of the operating parameters, including (and not limited to) the number of wavelengths per fiber/core, the frequency bands to be considered, the targeted modulation formats, c) the end user coverage options considering the required and supported number of antenna elements per RRU and the grouping of elements supported by the SDM approach.

Report on the final test-bed functionalities that are supported and the modules that have been successfully integrated

This deliverable reports on the final defined testbed, its functionality and integration of the various modules developed within blueSPACE.

Updated report on the final testbed functionalities that are supported and the modules that have been successfully integrated

This deliverable is an updated version of D6.2 and reports on the final defined testbed, its functionality and integration of the various modules developed within blueSPACE.

Report on targeted use cases, demonstration scenarios and description of testbed implementation plan

This deliverable reports on the targeted use cases and corresponding demonstration scenarios. It further describes the preparation steps and considerations for the project testbed implementation.

Report on the testbed control implementation

This deliverable reports on the final implementation of manual and SDN/NFV control of the testbed.

Report on the final demonstration

This deliverable summarizes the results and insights from the project demonstrations.

Report on compatibility issues with other 5G backhaul solutions and interfacing requirements

This deliverable analyses the compatibility between the blueSPACE architecture and other 5G backhaul solutions proposed in other 5G-PPP projects and resource groups, presenting possible extensions, modifications and interfacing requirements for the relevant network infrastructure, control and orchestration technologies.

Cost and power consumption evaluation studies

This report cover the outcome of the evaluation of the technical solutions in terms of capital cost and energy consumption. The cost analysis focuses initially on the extraction of the expected system cost values for the proposed transmitter-receiver solutions and any added module in the system (e.g. the beam forming element). The study also considers the number of elements required for a fully deployed SDM architecture and compares this to other 5G solutions that are based only on the use of WDM. Similarly the power consumption values are extracted for the proposed solutions and the overall power consumption of the CO and the RRU sites is evaluated. Then the overall SDM-enabled fronthaul network cost is evaluated (including in the comparison both DRoF and ARoF) considering all the required elements and proposed technology solutions.

blueSPACE project executive summary

This document contains an executive summary of the results, achievements and impact of BLuespce, writen in an accessible language for a wide audience.

Data Management Plan

This deliverable reports on the effort and actions of BLUESPACE for data management.
