Abstract :
The 5th generation of mobile networks (5G) will provide the foundation for the Networked Society. 5G networks will not only provide higher capacity but also support completely new services/applications and new business models. The transport network will need to support 5G radio and potentially new deployment models. It is believed that an important requirement on the transport will be increased flexibility. We present use cases for flexible 5G transport networks such as dynamic capacity scaling of radio access networks.
