End-to-End Automation of 5G Networks

International audienceThe fifth-generation (5G) network will be the next big revolution in the area of mobile and wireless communication. This is not due only to the high data rate that it is offering but also due to its openness to different types of applications like the ultralow latency applications, Internet of things (IoT), and massive device-to-device communications. These kinds of applications cannot be supported without the big changes witnessed by the core network of the 5G through the virtualization and softwarization techniques that revolutionize not only the core but also the radio network, bringing higher performance, low latency, and quality of service guarantee to these types of applications
