Control Plane Data Characterisation for an 5G NFV Environment
1 like215 views
The document presents a series of Cloudscape presentations focused on the control plane data characterization for a 5G NFV environment, discussing the use of emerging low-power wide-area technologies like LoRa for deploying virtual infrastructure. Preliminary experimental results indicate low peak data rates but a high number of requests, suggesting areas for further testing and optimization. Next steps include running reliability tests and comparing throughput between Wi-Fi and LoRa technologies.
