Mitigating the Operation and Maintenance Challenges of the Next Generation Mobile Networks

December 19, 2017

This white paper focuses on operation and maintenance (O&M) of the next generation mobile networks (typically referred to as 5G), the challenges operators are facing, and potential ways to manage these. The next generation mobile networks will introduce many new network architectures and functionalities, which means that the complexity of the network will increase significantly. So the main goal regarding O&M for the next generation mobile networks will be to hide this complexity from the operator. The main ways are to automate the O&M as much as possible, e.g. through automatic orchestration of virtual network functions, and to go from management of network elements to management of E2E (end-to-end) services.
