5G-PICTURE / 5G Programmable Infrastructure Converging disaggregated neTwork and compUte REsources

5G-PICTURE will design and develop an integrated, scalable and open 5G

infrastructure which supports operational and end-user services for both ICT and

“vertical" industries.

Rely on a converged fronthaul and backhaul solution, integrating advanced

wireless access and novel optical network domains

Fronthaul adopting flexible functional splits

o Transport network and Compute Resources o Processing parallelisation

o Full GPP with commodity hardware and Hybrid Solutions

Dis-Aggregated RAN (DA-RAN): Disaggregation of HW and SW

components across the optical, wireless and compute/storage domains

o Disaggregation of Network and Compute Resources

o Mixing and matching of resources to efficiently support services

Current C-RAN implementations are not truly open and rely on closed systems and

vendor-specific implementations

5G-PICTURE addresses these inefficiencies adopting the concepts of softwarisation

and HW programmability able to support

optimal mix of compute, storage and network resources allocated and managed

on demand

any ICT and Vertical Industry service under a common shared open

infrastructure

Converged fronthaul and backhaul services in

Bristol is Open (BIO)

5G-smart city testbed at Bristol (BIO) to experimentally validate the

DA-RAN concept supporting BH and FH services

A variety of network functions will be orchestrated to form BH and

FH service chains

Validation of the capabilities of the 5G-PICTURE solution to support a variety of ICT and vertical services

Rail Use Case Demonstration

Railway testbed deployed across three lines of the FGC network in

Barcelona

High-density scenario – massive MIMO with beam tracking

Efficient coordination of RUs allowing the creation of super cells

reducing the frequency of handovers

Stadium use case

Live mobile streaming application in a large venue

Media services supporting large venues with increased density and

static-to-low mobility - stadium testbed supporting large venues
