5G is enabling an era of user-centric network by bringing in the concept of network slicing and composable networking. This has caused a fundamental shift from “network aware application design” to “application-centric network provisioning”. It marks a major step in network architecture. The big question, however, is how the network will compose and organize itself to deliver diverse user requirements that may contend for the same network resources with conflicting attributes. Edge computing is one of the key enablers that helps achieve this goal. 5G will provide the technology boost to support URLLC (Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication) capability to enable use cases such as V2X and Telesurgery, Cobots where the end-to-end latency is expected to be in milliseconds. 5G will also provide eMBB (Enhanced Mobile Broadband) capability for use cases which involve large data rate such as augmented reality and virtual reality.
