Communication networks are undergoing their next evolutionary step toward 5G. The 5G networks are envisioned to provide a flexible, scalable, agile, and programmable network platform over which different services with varying requirements can be deployed and managed within strict performance bounds. In order to address these challenges, a paradigm shift is taking place in the technologies that drive the networks, and thus their architecture. Innovative concepts and techniques are being developed to power the next generation mobile networks. At the heart of this development lie Network Function Virtualization and Software Defined Networking technologies, which are now recognized as being two of the key technology enablers for realizing 5G networks, and which have introduced a major change in the way network services are deployed and operated. For interested readers that are new to the field of SDN and NFV, this paper provides an overview of both these technologies with reference to the 5G networks. Most importantly, it describes how the two technologies complement each other and how they are expected to drive the networks of near future. |
