“…Several authors have addressed the gains of particular infrastructure and/or spectrum sharing scenarios in terms of network performance metrics, such as throughput, coverage probability etc. (see e.g., [71,114,139,145]) and/or economic ones such as CAPEX/OPEX reduction (see e.g., [67,75,80,106]). The common approach is to benchmark such scenarios against the baseline case when no sharing takes place and the involved MNOs build individual networks instead.…”

Infrastructure sharing for mobile networks has been a prolific research topic for more than three decades now. The key driver for Mobile Network Operators to share their network infrastructure is cost reduction. Spectrum sharing is often studied alongside infrastructure sharing although on its own it is a vast research topic outside the scope of this survey. Instead, in this survey we aim to provide a complete picture of infrastructure sharing both over time and in terms of research branches that have stemmed from it such as performance evaluation, resource management etc. We also put an emphasis on the relation between infrastructure sharing and the decoupling of infrastructure from services, wireless network virtualization and multi-tenancy in 5G networks. Such a relation reflects the evolution of infrastructure sharing over time and how it has become a commercial reality in the context of 5G.

“…3) Scenario C: the last deployment scenario must necessarily consist of the NR interworking with the legacy RATs, [31], and the Next Generation Core Network (NGCN) interworking with the EPC (scenario B). Figures 1 shows the selected deployment scenarios, named A, B and C, respectively.…”

“…Particularly, few papers discuss the economic impact of specific technologies potentially involved in 5G deployments: [15] studies the techno-economic aspects of ultra-dense femtocell-based deployment and distributed antenna systems technology, [17] analyses several solutions of optical fiber based 5G back/fronthaul, [33] provides tools for selecting the most appropriate radio access technologies (RAT) in future 5G network ecosystems, [37] proposes a techno-economic analysis approach for upgrading 4G to 5G and points out that the reuse of existing sites could have a large impact on reducing costs, and [19] includes a complex and detailed analysis of 5G network deployment in Britain for the period 2020-2030, developing several spatial and temporal rollout scenarios. In contrast, the literature is rich in techno-economic studies for previous wireless networks (i.e., 3G or wireless local access) [22], [24], [31]. Therefore, it is worth studying the new mobile generation with this proposed approach.…”

Towards 5G: Techno-economic analysis of suitable use cases

The evolution of mobile networks towards the Fifth Generation (5G) introduces many concerns from the technical and economic points of view. Expected new applications exceed mobile networks' current capabilities, and 4G networks will have to evolve into 5G networks to provide some with a proper service. With regard to the ambitious intended performance of 5G networks, a huge process is required which will need to be faced up to both technically and economically. The 5G "ready system" standard is scheduled for 2020. However, only a few studies have carried out techno-economic evaluation of 5G. This paper presents a techno-economic analysis to foresee some feasible technical architectures leading to suitable and affordable use cases. The paper presents a new approach based on different evolving technical scenarios, establishing combined 4G/5G technical solutions and a roadmap that could provide useful insights about the most suitable use cases by scenario. Moreover, it analyses these possible use cases to determine their feasibility by optimizing their deployment costs. The study is based on the standardization process, integration of different views of key industrial players and mathematical modelling to address the new applications that 5G will provide. Finally, conclusions are drawn from the analysis and a recommendation score is established, providing useful advice to support the strategic decisions of the different stakeholders, technologists and investors involved in deployment of 5G networks.

“…On a property layer, the physical and digital assets of a platform manifest as properties and the links between each property pair manifest as a property relation, i.e., technical interoperability and functionality (Casey et al, 2010). These properties may turn into a competitive advantage of its holder (Katsigiannis et al, 2013) if one possesses high asset specificity in terms of physical location (or proximity), exclusive access to data (or quality of data) or proprietary interfaces, for example (de Reuver et al, 2018). However, it can be assumed that the technology alone does not produce any value, but it is also the knowledge of utilizing underlying properties that may become an asset (Clarysse et al, 2014).…”
