The most recent collaboration endeavour taken by COMBO is collaboration with 5G-PPP initiative. First of all, COMBO is one of the FP7 projects feeding 5G-PPP with technological options leading to the future generation of “wired” (optical) and “wireless” communications. Second, COMBO is feeding several projects via dedicated collaboration. These projects are:
5G-Crosshaul (http://5g-ppp.eu/xhaul/) – collaboration on front-/back-/mid-haul architecture and design for 5G;
5Gex (http://5g-ppp.eu/5gex/) – collaboration on development of an open platform based on NFV/SDN for cross-domain orchestration;
5G-Xhaul (http://5g-ppp.eu/5g-xhaul/) – collaboration on dynamically reconfigurable converged optical and wireless network solution able to flexibly connect Small Cells to the core network;
CHARISMA (http://5g-ppp.eu/charisma/) – collaboration on cloud infrastructure platform for secured, low-latency converged wireless/wireline advanced 5G networking.
