As 5G moves from a concept in the lab to service deployment in the field, engineers, technicians and installers are grappling with the myriad of challenges of ensuring that rollouts meet both the profitability use case for the service provider and the staggering advances in service levels expected by the end customer.
A supplement to Understanding 5G by VIAVI, Testing 5G explores the three phases of 5G test and measurement–Validation, Verification, and Visibility–and the essential elements of each phase.

5G impacts every nodal component of the network and delivers on varied use cases, from enhanced mobile broadband to ultra-reliable low latency on the same network. A 5G network will require resources to be optimized such that each use case can meet the specific SLA for that application. This means 5G network resources such as RF, fiber, hardware and networking elements, while shared at a macro level, will offer a separate network at a granular level for each specific application.
This paper discusses how fiber is implemented in 5G networks, reviews connections between the access point to the network core and cloud, and es the case that these fiber-powered connections and their flexibility are critical for a successful delivery.

As 5G moves from the lab to the field, field engineers, technicians and installers are grappling with the many challenges of ensuring a successful deployment. Validating 5G in the lab is one thing, but scaling it to the field requires robust, efficient, and scalable 5G test and verification solutions. VIAVI brings you this indispensable resource to simplify deployment complexities.
Topics covered in this guide include:
WDM and PON test during fiber build/laying/construction
Synchronization, GPS, Ethernet, PTP and Ethernet test in the fronthaul transport network
RF characterization and conformance and 5G beam analysis in the radio network
Workforce and asset management

Emerging 5G services pose new and challenging requirements for transport networks. Addressing these challenges requires a new split of functions in radio access networks. CPRI/eCPRI, IEEE, and xRAN are among the organizations that have come up with new standards to design and characterize the new functional splits.
This white paper outlines the new requirements and challenges of current transport technologies and discusses the split options and related service level agreements to help clarify the full impact of 5G.

Enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable low latency communications, and massive machine-type communication (mMTC) are well understood and highly anticipated 5G use cases. The big challenge for network operators is how to support these use cases, and more, on the same network.
Much of the buzz to date has centered on 5G-NR (new radio), virtualized core, and mm-Wave spectrum. Receiving far less attention, but equally important as the new radio interface, is the evolution of the transport network that connects 5G nodes to enable the key 5G use cases—simultaneously.
This guide breaks down answers to the tough questions on how to ensure your transport network is up to the challenge of 5G and explains key test considerations for ensuring reliable performance and high quality of service—insight you’ll need because 5G demands the network supporting it to be as flexible and reliable as the services running on it.

We’re currently in early stages of 5G deployment which emphasizes feature development and network performance. It is easy to get caught up in the hype around 5G, and rightly so: the benefits 5G can offer to multiple technology sectors and application verticals are huge.
However, 4/4.5G is still evolving, and 5G handset use, while growing, is still far from widespread. 4/4.5G users continue to make up the vast majority of operators’ subscriber bases and will continue to contribute significant revenue for operators. This inevitably means that NEMs and operators will need to take measures to protect, and in some cases improve, the QoS for 4G users, through rigorously tested load balancing techniques.

Impact of 5G on 4G Services

Passive optical networks (PONs) are increasingly viewed as a crucial element of current and future broadband access networks. The massive deployment of PONs is driven by growing bandwidth demand, primarily fuelled by high-speed internet traffic. This evolution is driving a need for higher bandwidth in the downstream. Adding to that, growing services such as online gaming, file sharing, and cloud computing will generate more symmetrical traffic. It’s apparent that in the long-term, optical access will have to evolve towards symmetrical traffic transport.
For next-generation networks (NG-PON), service providers expect improved bandwidth and service support capabilities over their existing PONs. While NG-PON2 networks are considered the most promising approach, service providers do have to deal with evolving standards.

With 5G realizing the potential of the network is as much about architecture of the network as it is about advances in telecommunications technology. The introduction and wide adoption of virtualization and cloud has demonstrated the importance, variability, and complexity of leveraging the 5G opportunity in its stand-alone (SA) architecture end-state.
Solutions that provide operators actionable insights and access to data for assurance, monetization, and analytics purposes also need to be architected so the cost of the solution does not outpace the rate of current and future data growth in the networks.
Read this white paper to learn more about assurance and analytics solution requirements and what a target architecture should strive for in the NFV/SDN and 5G network paradigms.
