The Core Network represents the backbone of the network, which could be a data center or cloud infrastructure where processing and routing of data occur.
• gNodeB (Base Station): This is the 5G base station responsible for transmitting and receiving data to and from user devices.
• Antenna: Represents the physical antennas connected to the gNodeB for wireless communication.
• User Devices: These are the devices (e.g., smartphones, IoT devices) that connect to the 5G private network to access services and data.
Virtualization of functionality in the Radio Access Network (RAN) encompasses three main types of functions:
This involves virtualizing components within the gNB (Next Generation NodeB). The most common virtualized components are the vDU (virtualized Distributed Unit) and vCU (virtualized Central Unit). These components handle various aspects of the radio access network, including baseband processing and radio resource management.
Virtualization extends to networking functionalities required by the transport network itself. This includes virtualizing functions such as security measures, fault management (FM), and performance monitoring (PM). Virtual probes and reflectors play a crucial role in ensuring the security, reliability, and performance of the transport network.
Virtualization also enables the deployment of value-added functionalities and applications tailored to user needs. These functionalities include but are not limited to firewalls, support for location-based services, Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), and aggregation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
In summary, the virtualization of functionality in the RAN spans across gNB components, networking functionalities for the transport network, and user-centric value-added functionalities and applications. This approach enhances flexibility, scalability, and efficiency in delivering services while meeting the evolving demands of mobile communications.
The evolution of 5G is indeed shifting the focus from traditional mobile backhaul to a more comprehensive concept known as xHaul, which encompasses various types of transport networks needed to support the diverse requirements of 5G services.
The transition to 5G poses both engineering and financial challenges for mobile operators. Many are adopting a phased approach using 5G xHaul.
Stage 1: Boost capacity by integrating NR-capable equipment into existing 4G sites, improving data rates for enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB).
Stage 2: Introduce edge computing and virtualize gNB components (vDU and vCU) to enable network splits and support service expansion.
Stage 3: Implement fine slicing and technologies like TSN and DetNet to reduce latency and improve reliability, enabling URLLC services.
