An Efficient 5G Data Plan Approach Based on Partially Distributed Mobility Architecture

Abstract

Reaching a flat network is the main target of future evolved packet core for the 5G mobile networks. The current 4th generation core network is centralized architecture, including Serving Gateway and Packet-data-network Gateway; both act as mobility and IP anchors. However, this architecture suffers from non-optimal routing and intolerable latency due to many control messages. To overcome these challenges, we propose a partially distributed architecture for 5th generation networks, such that the control plane and data plane are fully decoupled. The proposed architecture is based on including a node Multi-session Gateway to merge the mobility and IP anchor gateway functionality. This work presented a control entity with the full implementation of the control plane to achieve an optimal flat network architecture. The impact of the proposed evolved packet Core structure in attachment, data delivery, and mobility procedures is validated through simulation. Several experiments were carried out by using NS-3 simulation to validate the results of the proposed architecture. The Numerical analysis is evaluated in terms of total transmission delay, inter and intra handover delay, queuing delay, and total attachment time. Simulation results show that the proposed architecture performance-enhanced end-to-end latency over the legacy architecture.

5G-Based Telerobotic Ultrasound System Improves Access to Breast Examination in Rural and Remote Areas: A Prospective and Two-Scenario Study

“…Our study indicated that the quality of US images transmitted from the telerobotic US system over the 5G network was comparable to that of conventional US system, fulfilling the diagnostic demand. The transmission speed (peak rate of up to 20 Gbps) of the latest 5G network is 1.5 times better than that of the current 4G network, and the delay (approximately 1-10 ms) is reduced by a factor of 10 [34]. The application of 5G telecommunication technology substantially increases the data transmission capacity and resolves the issues of latency, which allows long-distance original US image acquisition, transmission, analysis, and processing, with high-precision synchronisation of multiple audio-visual signals.…”

A study of routing-based distributed mobility management in supporting seamless data transmission in smart cities

“…iv) Signaling overhead: with centralized solutions, network resources can be wasted with a lot of exchange of mobility-related signaling messages during handovers. With the routing-based DMM approach [22], the exchange of mobility-related signaling messages is optimized. A single network prefix (i.e., IP address) can be used by the MN while roaming a particular DMM domain.…”

High-Speed Path Probing Method for Large-Scale Network

“…On the other hand, reducing the probing redundancy often means reducing the discovery of additional routes because of the load balancing phenomenon [ 32 ]. The distributed architecture [ 33 ] will help to improve the integrity and reliability of network topology discovery and can support router identification on the basis of this. How to introduce the approach into multi-source topology probing and strike a balance between reducing probing redundancy and discovering additional routes will be investigated in future work.…”
