Techno-economic analyses for vertical use cases in the 5G domain
This paper provides techno-economic analyses on the network deployments to cover 4 key verticals, under 5G-NR. These verticals, namely Automotive, Smart city, Long range connectivity and Disaster and emergency support, were chosen to reflect the ONE5G project objective of investigating environments from densely populated cities ("Megacity") to large underserved areas. The work presented covers the network deployment framework including common centralization strategies and the main cost factors. Initial results presented for long range connectivity and emergency support networks provide the cost trade-offs in different deployment options and cost sensitivity to some of the parameters.
