Periodic Reporting for period 1 - 5G-COMPLETE (A unified network, Computational and stOrage resource Management framework targeting end-to-end Performance optimization for secure 5G muLti-tEchnology and multi-Tenancy Environments)
Período documentado: 2019-11-01 hasta 2021-04-30
The 5G-COMPLETE proposes an architectural approach that efficiently integrates a variety of advanced wireless technologies including digital and analog approaches as well as mmWave and THz solutions with optical and packet networking to support the required network connectivity for 5G. In addition, 5G-COMPLETE proposes full integration of network with compute and storage resources in support of the very demanding current and upcoming 5G services. The architectural principles of 5G-COMPLETE exploit the benefits of softwarization migrating from the notion of network elements to network functions, the separation of user plane and control plane functions and RAN disaggregation.

Aside from the innovations boosting the network capacity and connectivity, 5G-COMPLETE put emphasis on the security pillar, a key dimension of the future mobile networks. In this direction, the project aims to deliver a security and resilience framework which ensures the secured execution of low-latency services at the edge of the network. Approaching the age of Quantum Computing, the definition of a quantum-resistant security framework becomes a top priority for the 5G-oriented infrastructure owners and operators, and 5G-COMPLETE attempts to address this strategy by delivering Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) solutions for optical transport through unbreakable cryptosystems. 5G-COMPLETE also addresses the challenge of trusted execution at the edge, by delivering enhanced isolation at the software level for applications running over the decentralized era of Edge Cloud enabled by powerful Mobile Edge Compute nodes. In this way, the mobile users will leverage from the edge processing capabilities for low-latency services, without sacrificing the security of their links.
