“…The system used available resources at the RAN side to deploy the edge computing components. In [72], the authors proposed a novel component named edge VIM and edge NFVI. A specific characteristic of the proposed edge VIM and edge NFVI is that they can be used to support trust computing for devices based on an ARM architecture.…”

“…Therefore, it needs careful thinking regarding security in such a system. In [72], though the authors agreed that security is important in smart cities and personal data needs to be well protected, they also mentioned that the added benefits of security come at the price of lower the performance of the system. For many requirements of using 5G in smart cities, usually there is a balance to make based on pros and cons.…”

5G is the fifth generation wireless network, with a set of characteristics, such as high bandwidth and data rates, massive connectivity, broad coverage, and low latency. The scenarios of using 5G include enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC), and ultra-Reliable and Low-Latency Communications (uRLLC). 5G is expected to support a wide variety of applications, such as city management, healthcare, transportation, agriculture, and energy management. In this paper, we conducted a systematic mapping study that covers the literature published between January 2012 and December 2019 regarding using 5G in smart cities. The scenarios, architecture, technologies, challenges, and lessons learned of using 5G in smart cities are summarized and further analyzed based on 32 selected studies, and the results are that: (1) The studies are distributed over 27 publication venues. 17 studies report results based on academic studies and 13 studies use demonstration or toy examples. Only 2 studies report using 5G in smart cities based on industrial studies. 16 studies include assumptions of 5G network design or smart city scenarios. (2) The most discussed smart city scenario is transportation, followed by public safety, healthcare, city tourism, entertainment, and education. (3) 28 studies propose and/or discuss the architecture of 5G-enabled smart cities, containing smart city architecture (treating 5G as a component), 5G network architecture in smart cities, and business architecture of using 5G in smart cities. (4) The most mentioned 5G-related technologies are radio access technologies, network slicing, and edge computing. (5) Challenges are mainly about complex context, challenging requirements, and network development of using 5G in smart cities. (6) Most of the lessons learned identified are benefits regarding 5G itself or the proposed 5G-related methods in smart cities. This work provides a reflection of the past eight years of the state of the art on using 5G in smart

“…Then, two well-known RAN controller platforms are the flexRAN [ 36 ] built on open-source LTE stack with OpenAirInterface [ 37 ] and EmPOWER [ 38 ] which adds Wi-Fi and Long Range (LoRa) radio technologies to LTE. Our neutral host framework goes beyond a novel RAN controller supporting LTE and Wi-Fi by adding capabilities to multiple RAN controllers from multiple vendors and radio technologies [ 39 ] (cf. Section 3 ).…”

Along with the adoption of 5G, the development of neutral host solutions provides a unique opportunity for mobile networks operators 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 the specific demands of those tenant slices. Motivated by this reality, the H2020 5GCity project proposed a novel 5G-enabled neutral host framework for three European cities: 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 developed 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. This work also presents the performance evaluation of the proposed 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.

Edge Computing foi proposto para resolver problemas como gerenciamento de largura de banda, dispersão geográfica, permitindo o processamento de dados próximo aos usuários finais. O objetivo de Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) é simplificar o ﬂuxo de trabalho para criação de serviços computacionais. Este trabalho avança o estado da arte ao propor uma arquitetura gerenciamento unificado de Virtualized Everything Functions (VxFs) em Edge Computing. Essa arquitetura é capaz de implantar e monitorar continuamente VxFs, independentemente do hardware e a plataforma virtualização. A arquitetura proposta contribui para a realização dos mais diversos cenários de pesquisa experimental na borda, contribuindo para avançar o conhecimento nesta área.
