7 What Does the 5G Network Mean for Cisco? Keeping it very simple: Cisco s 5G network is a highly automated, access agnostic, super-scale platform offered to operators and enterprises. It enables new and innovative use cases either introduced securely by the operator or through enablement of thirdparty partners or vertical industry customers. One key word: enablement 7

8 Example for Core Network as it evolves to 5G What is the 5G core? A set of verticals built on a common infrastructure The verticals are built on an innovation platform but the verticals themselves contain the innovation Examples of verticals: MBB, IoT, Video/ICN, MVNO, Mobility-on-demand/ICN, Fixed Wireless Access, Supplementary Hot Spot coverage, 5G Verticals allow the use of newer mobility-friendly protocols They simplify the networking while removing signaling cost 5G uses SDN and NFV in a basic and fundamental way Orchestration aligns the resources and capabilities to support the vertical 8

11 Network Slicing 5G is all about Managing Verticals Definition: Network slicing is the ability to run multiple logical networks as virtually independent business operations on a common physical infrastructure Network slicing goes hand-in-hand with SDN and NFV Network Slice Selection Function SDM MBB Core Network Comprised of three fundamental components: A collection of control points in the user plane that have the ability to pivot or steer selected traffic flows on one path vs. another Slice Selection Streaming Camera CN The data-enablement of the control point so the traffic flow path selection can be controlled by subscriber database dip or policy dip A Management and orchestration systems that create sand-boxes (day-0 functions) for the slices, configure them for operation (day-1) and then manage the slices (day-n) Virtualization CPU IoT Core Network 2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

16 Take-aways! We cannot work 5G in a vacuum nor can we imagine 5G as a pure marketing construct 5G use cases are completely real! There is a 5G emerging architecture which is becoming very visible. We can say that 5G architecture will: Decouple control plane and user plane and hence integrate SDN and NFV in an inherent way Finally enable a user plane edge for a variety of applications Enable C-RAN Support multiple very diverse use cases hence driving the need for network slicing Network slicing is end-to-end requiring SD-WAN in addition SDN and NFV Support massive amounts of video hence requiring the introduction of offload, multicast-to-unicast and caching! The main challenge Introducing a graceful from here to there transition that emphasizes investment preservation! Cisco is superbly positioned for 5G through a business enablement platform concept Our business is business : we enable business 2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
