Validating a 5G-Enabled Neutral Host Framework in City-Wide Deployments

Along with the adoption of 5G, the development of neutral host solutions provides a unique opportunity for mobile networks to accommodate the needs of emerging use-cases and in the consolidation of new business models. By exploiting the concept of network slicing, as one key enabler in the transitio...

description Along with the adoption of 5G, the development of neutral host solutions provides a unique opportunity for mobile networks to accommodate the needs of emerging use-cases and in the consolidation of new business models. By exploiting the concept of network slicing, as one key enabler in the transition to 5G, infrastructure and service providers can logically split a shared physical network into multiple isolated and customized networks to flexibly address each one’s specific demands of those tenant slices. Motivated by this reality, the H2020 5GCity project proposes a novel 5G-enabled neutral host framework for three European cities, namely: Barcelona (ESP), Bristol (UK), and Lucca (IT). This article revises the main achievements and contributions of the 5GCity project, focusing on the deployment and validation of the proposed framework. The envisioned neutral host framework encompasses two main parts: the infrastructure and the software platform. A detailed description of the framework implementation, in terms of functional capabilities and practical implications of city-wide deployments, is provided in this article. Indeed, this work evaluates the performance of the presented solution during the implementation of real vertical use cases. Obtained results validate the feasibility of the neutral host model and the proposed framework to be deployed in city-wide 5G infrastructures.
