“…The results in [13] are related to four 5G use cases and show that an HLS option has either higher or lower TCO than LLS, depending on the service under exam. The results in [14] demonstrate that using LLS and a hybrid composition of optical and wireless is a cost-efficient deployment solution.…”

“…Consequently, it requires the deployment of more expensive devices. The authors in [13,14] presented a framework for the TCO analysis of a 5G TN considering various technologies (e.g., wireless, optical) and split options (i.e., LLS and HLS). The results in [13] are related to four 5G use cases and show that an HLS option has either higher or lower TCO than LLS, depending on the service under exam.…”

“…Some works focus on the TCO analysis of fiber and/or microwave architectures given a specific functional split option [8][9][10][11][12]. On the other hand, the works in [13,14] investigate the TCO of different fiber and microwave architectures when the functional split option is varied. As of yet, there is no comprehensive framework that investigates the TCO, latency, and reliability performance of various technology and functional split options.…”

<p>One of the challenges for network operators is to design and deploy cost-efficient transport networks (TNs) to meet the high capacity and strict latency/reliability requirements of today’s emerging services. Therefore, they need to consider different aspects, including the appropriate technology, the level of reconfigurability, and the functional split option. A crucial aspect of network design is assessing the impact of these aspects against the total cost of ownership (TCO), latency, and reliability performance of a given solution. For this reason, this paper proposes a framework to investigate the TCO, latency, and reliability performance of a set of fiber and microwave-based TN architectures. They are categorized based on their baseband functional split option and the reconfigurability capabilities of the equipment used. Results show that in most of the considered scenarios, a microwave-based TN exhibits lower TCO than a fiber-based one. The TCO gain may vary with the choice of the functional split option, geo-type, reconfigurability features, fiber trenching costs, and cost of microwave equipment. Finally, it was found that the considered fiber and microwave architectures have almost similar average latency and connection availability performance and are suitable to meet the service requirements of 5G and beyond 5G scenarios.<br> </p>

“…Two wireless backhaul strategies are to be assessed which include the cost of using either (i) CLOS entirely, or (ii) a mixture of CLOS and NLOS. Network planning methods usually follow a set of deployment rules [83], [84], making it possible to assess the potential effectiveness of different deployment strategies. Firstly, the scientific basis of the assessment approach will be discussed, followed by a description of the model flow for each strategy.…”

This paper proposes the characteristics a techno-economic model for 5G should have considering both mobile network operator´s perspective and end user´s needs. It also presents a review and classification of models in the literature based on the characteristics of such theoretical techno-economic reference model. The performed analysis identifies current gaps in the techno-economic modeling literature for 5G architectures and shows it can be enhanced using agile techno-economic models like the Universal Techno-Economic Model (UTEM) created and developed by the author to industrialize assessment of different technological solutions, considering all market players perspectives and applicable to decision-making in multiple domains. This model can be used for an effective and agile 5G techno-economic assessment, including not only network deployment perspective but also customers´ and end users´ requirements as well as other stakeholders´ to select the most adequate 5G architectural solution considering both technical and economic feasibility. UTEM model is currently available for all industry stakeholders under specific license of use.
