Software Defined Networks and Data Distribution Service as Key Features for the 5G Control Plane

Abstract

The latency and flexible requirements of the 5G network are challenging telecommunication operators to have a more flexible, scalable, faster and programmable architecture. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a hybrid hierarchical set of Software Defined Networks (SDN) controllers as the control plane for 5G networks. The architecture is based on a federation of hierarchically-superior controllers which use Data Distribution Service (DDS) to communicate among each other and coordinate multiple sub-network controllers.
