Descripción del proyecto
Una tecnología automatizada y disruptiva para abrir nuevos caminos en las redes 5G
La evolución actual de la tecnología 5G no alcanza los requisitos de rendimiento y funciones previstos. El proyecto 5GZORRO, financiado con fondos europeos, pretende acabar con esta situación mediante la gestión automatizada e integral de redes a través de varios operadores y proveedores que comparten diversas fuentes (espectro, red de acceso por radio virtualizada, extremo/núcleo virtualizado). El objetivo es prestar apoyo a nivel de producción a las distintas aplicaciones de software dentro de una infraestructura de red compartida. Se utilizará inteligencia artificial para minimizar la intervención manual, mientras que las tecnologías de registros distribuidos permitirán optimizar los sistemas de seguridad y confianza. Estas características permiten aprovechar el potencial del 5G con servicios automatizados de gestión segura de redes para múltiples partes. La investigación de 5GZORRO se ha validado mediante tres estudios de casos. Los socios del proyecto incluyen partes interesadas clave de los principales agentes de la industria 5G de siete países de la Unión Europea.
Objetivo
Despite the progress of last years, 5G today is not yet at a stage of complete achievement of the promised performances and functions: different application profiles (eMBB, URLLC, mMTC) do not easily coexist in network slices; slicing is casted in various different forms; network analytics are not at end-to-end scope; services do not span multiple operator domains yet.
5GZORRO consortium envisions the evolution of 5G to achieve truly production-level support of diverse Vertical applications, which coexist on a highly pervasive shared network infrastructure, through automated end-to-end network slicing, across multiple operators and infrastructure/resource providers, who can share heterogeneous types of resources (spectrum, virtualized radio access, virtualized edge/core).
5GZORRO uses distributed Artificial Intelligence (AI) to implement cognitive network orchestration and management with minimal manual intervention (Zero-Touch Automation). Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) are adopted to implement flexible and efficient distributed security and trust across the various parties involved in a 5G end-to-end service chain. With these, we can implement an evolved 5G Service Layer for Smart Contracts among multiple non-trusted parties, to allow SLA monitoring, spectrum sharing, intelligent and automated data-driven resource discovery and management. Our cross domain security & trust orchestration coupled with service lifecycle automation can enforce security policies in multi-tenant and multi-stakeholder environments.
Three use cases validate our research in 5GBarcelona and 5TONIC/Madrid test facilities: Smart Contracts for Ubiquitous Computing/Connectivity, Dynamic Spectrum Allocation, Pervasive virtual CDNs over 3rd-party edge resources.
5GZORRO target stakeholders are telecom operators, vertical slice owners/operators, spectrum owners, regulators, passive/ active facility owners, many of which are in our consortium of 13 top 5G players from 7 different EU countries.
