Requirements for Next Generation Business Transformation and their Implementation in 5G Architecture

Main focus in this paper is placed on demystifying the 5G paradigm from different aspects and view’s. From the beginning, from the time when the term 5G started to emerge in scientific circles it was unclear what exactly it represents. In the scientific community, there are many papers that are trying to present views of what they think 5G should be. In the past, several years it can be noticed that significant evolution in defining of the term 5G is made. Most importantly in the past year it can be seen that requirements for 5G from business perspective are converging toward unified set of needed functions, functionalities and uses cases that need to be satisfied by the next generation network called 5G. Basic idea of the paper is to present the business needs from the 5G network coming from the network operators/end-users and link them to what it represents viable and technically implementable architecture design given in different papers in scientific community. During this process of clarification paper also presents past and future views of 5G network paradigm and the needs of change.
