1. Introduction
1.1. 5G!Pagoda in a Nutshell
5G!Pagoda is a Horizon 2020 European and Japanese project. Its main goal is to research the possibilities
offered by Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) in the frame of
the future 5G mobile network. The top objectives of 5G!Pagoda are focused on:
The development of a scalable 5G slicing architecture to create and manage specialized network slices
composed on multi-vendor network functions. This is achieved through the development of a scalable
network slices management and orchestration framework for the network infrastructures, with control
plane and data plane programmability. The integration, the customization, the slices composition and run-
time management are made towards different testbeds or markets across Europe and Japan.
5G!Pagoda is searching for a coherent architecture between Europe and Japan for 5G and IoT testbeds. The
proposed developments are based on a common SDN/NFV architecture and provide several improvements
to the software network architecture. They prepare the next steps of the 5G technology beyond the
immediate NFV standardization and other advancements. This facilitates the integration within the end-to-
end network slices of various software components, using specific and flexible network functions flexibility
associated to an orchestrator. 5G!Pagoda is developing a coherent proof of concept with several testbeds
implemented in Japan and in Europe, using a uniform network orchestration and a set of software features
handling the virtualized network. The integration of the different testbeds will demonstrate all the
functionalities provided by the SDN/NFV technologies and will assist in the development of an aligned 5G-
oriented standardization roadmap for Japan and Europe.
1.2. Purpose and Scope of WP6
As specified in the Description of Actions, the Work Package 6 (WP6) is in charge of dissemination and
exploitation. It aims to:
• “Develop and maintain online collaboration tools and a website for the project.
• Identify, monitor, and contribute to relevant standardization bodies.
• Introduce 5G!Pagoda testbed at conferences, fairs, organized workshops, and other public events.
• Develop plans for commercial exploitation of the knowledge generated by the project.
• Publish the scientific and technical achievements of 5G!Pagoda at relevant conferences and in
magazines / journals.”

5G!Pagoda Version 1.1 Page 12 of 48
1.3. Purpose and Scope of the Task 6.1 on Media and Collaboration Tools
The Task 6.1 on Media and Collaboration tools has been led by Aalto and UT. It has sought to guarantee
fast and effective communication in the project through the administration of a common online
collaboration platform. Furthermore, in the second year of the project, Aalto has been responsible for
maintaining the 5G!Pagoda official website, the content management system, and other tools for
conference calls and collaborative editing. As WP6 leaders, MI and KDDI have been appointed responsible
for the dissemination of the 5G!Pagoda updates on social media.
1.4. Purpose and Scope of the Task T6.2 on Dissemination, Communication, and Standardization
During the second year of the project, the research sought to further build on the dissemination,
communication and standardization achievements of the previous year. Indeed, the first period allowed to
initiate the dissemination activities and to share the overall findings of 5G!Pagoda, scientific and technical,
in both industry and academia. These dissemination measures took various forms including: publications in
scientific journals and magazines, participations in international conferences and summits, the presentation
of the project in high-level workshops (with the participation of members of the public sector, the industry,
the H2020 community and academia), and the promotion of 5G!Pagoda-related activities and events on
social media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn).
The Consortium believes that additional contributions in the field of dissemination and communication will
further increase the recognition of 5G!Pagoda and expose the project to a broader audience. In the second
period, all partners have continued their efforts to consolidate these achievements.
Close coordination between research projects and standardization organizations is an essential step for the
exploitation of results and for fostering innovation. The first year of the projects allowed for 5G!Pagoda
partners to work with various standardization bodies. The second year of the project intended to make
supplementary contributions to standardization in order to guarantee higher levels of recognition of the
project in the industrial sector, improve interoperability and establish economies of scale for the 5G!Pagoda
applications.
1.5. Purpose and Scope of the Task T6.3 on Commercial Exploitation and Partnership Development
Taking advantage of the diverse contact list of the participating partners and of the new relationships
established in the first year of the project, this task builds partnerships with a variety of relevant
stakeholders, especially external IoT service providers, which could be included in the testbed of
5G!Pagoda. The purpose of such partnerships is to reach decisions and agreements regarding the
commercialization paths and business models, discussed in WP2.
1.6. Purpose and Scope of the Present Deliverable
The present deliverable is a continuation of deliverable D6.2. It presents the dissemination, standardization
and exploitation achievements and activities during the second year of the 5G!Pagoda project.

2. Dissemination
2.1 Dissemination Objectives
Dissemination and outreach activities are indispensable to guarantee the success and the future of the
5G!Pagoda project. The 5G!Pagoda dissemination activities result from a collective strategy coordinated
between the various work packages, with a strong emphasis on creating a wide impact both on the
European and the international level.
Furthermore, 5G!Pagoda has advanced a set of measures destined at improving the outreach of the project
in an organized way: through an effective integration of dissemination, outreach and promotional activities
with standardization work.
The dissemination strategy of 5G!Pagoda seeks to accomplish the following objectives:
• Promote the 5G!Pagoda architecture and research findings among key entities in the value chain and
through contributions in terms of standards to different standardization bodies (e.g., ITU-T, 3GPP, ETSI
NFV and IETF).
• Engage a broad R&D community to conduct further research into improving and extending the concepts
and components of the 5G!Pagoda architecture.
• Promote the creation of the ecosystem that will foster the growth of the 5G!Pagoda vision.
2.2 Website
In the second year of the project, the 5G!Pagoda website (see Figure 1) served as the principle source of
information about the project. In respect with the objectives of T 6.1, the official website is hosted and
administered by the University of Aalto. It updates both the Consortium members and the general public
about the various work packages, dissemination activities, and 5G!Pagoda related events.

5G!Pagoda Version 1.1 Page 14 of 48
2.3 Social Media
In the first year of the project, three social media channels have been created in order to promote
5G!Pagoda-related activities: Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. These platforms are managed by KDDI and
seek to update the general public on important events and on the research progress.
During the second year, the Consortium discussed the benefits of the use of social media for the project.
The objective behind the use of social media is to promote the project to the general public. Due to the
highly technical and specialized nature of the 5G!Pagoda, the Consortium decided to post non-technical
information only, such as current activities related to the project, as well as news about conferences and
events that the Consortium members participate in. The WP6 coleaders highlighted that currently the
majority of followers and posts for the project's social medias are coming from KDDI and MI. They invited
all partners to join the social media as followers and to use the social media to disseminate news.
2.3.1 Twitter
5G!Pagoda’s Twitter account (see Figure 2) seeks to promote related events and activities to the target
audiences through social media. In the second year, KDDI was responsible for updating the Twitter page.
The Twitter account for 5G!Pagoda project can be found by searching for the username “5GPagoda”.
Figure 2 - 5G!Pagoda Twitter account
2.3.2 Facebook
The 5G!Pagoda Facebook page (see Figure 3) disseminates project information and event activities to the
target audiences in an interactive manner. In the second year of the project, KDDI updated the Facebook
page. The 5G!Pagoda Facebook page can be found by typing “5G Pagoda” into Facebook’s search bar. The

3. Standardization
The following chapter provides an overview of the standardization strategy. It formalizes the consultations
and discussions among the consortium members. As a first step, an initial standardization work plan has
been established, identifying what partner will contribute to what standardization process.
The strategy design started by taking into account all Standards Development Organizations (SDOs)
mentioned in the Description of Action, including: ITU-T (Orange, MI, WU), IEEE (AU, MI), IETF (Ericsson),
3GPP (Ericsson, KDDI), ETSI (Orange), OpenAirInterface Alliance (EI), 5GMF (UT), IMT-2020 (UT).
Like for any other research projects, it is expected that the consortium adapts its standardization strategy
to the effective research achievements and outputs in order to submit relevant and qualitative
contributions to standardization processes.
According to the description of actions, the standardization strategy definition was planned for Month 18.
During the first 18 months, the main focus has been on research, technical development, and building a
strategy for standardization, dissemination and exploitation (defining the priorities, the strategy vision, the
coordination, as well as the identification of relevant partners). This process has been incremental since the
beginning of the project. After that period, the main goal is to disseminate and transfer relevant information
on the project towards global standardization processes in order to deliver a solid impact.
Figure 7 - 5G!Pagoda standardization process sequence
However, and as previously reported, the consortium took some advance by making a number of
contributions to standardization processes during the first year of activity, mainly by contributing to the
ITU-T and 3GPP. The second year provided the opportunity to refine and better focus the standardization
strategy. In the following sections we provide an overview of the strategy as agreed by the Consortium.

5G!Pagoda Version 1.1 Page 22 of 48
3.1. Standardization Objectives
The main objectives of 5G!Pagoda in terms of standardization activities are:
• to disseminate relevant research outputs of the project to the global standardization arena;
• to give visibility to the project achievements and attract recognition of its results by a wide industry
community;
• to stimulate higher levels of interoperability and applicability;
• to identify and consider use of standardized technologies (i.e., frameworks and APIs);
The standardization activity is closely linked to the project technical developments.
Several discussions and consultations have been held to identify the potential contributions to SDOs. The
discussions took into account several factors, including:
• Evolution of the standardization landscape and agenda;
• Time and resource limitations;
• Effective technological achievements relevant for standardization;
• Interest and motivations of the partners.
These discussions led to several decisions:
• It has been agreed to focus on SDOs and work items that can be effectively influenced by the consortium
members within the scope and duration of the project.
• It has been agreed to focus on topics where several consortium members can work together, with a
priority for work items that can be mutually supported by European and Japanese partners.
• Finally, the consortium took into account the advice of the Reviewers provided during the first year
Review to privilege qualitative inputs rather than quantitative ones, by focusing on priority targets.

3.3. Leveraging Testbeds for Standardization
Regarding the potential use of the 5G!Pagoda testbeds, two models have been identified. These are as
illustrated below:
Model A
Model A is related to testing and validating the 5G!Pagoda research results on its testbed before submitting
them to relevant SDOs.
Model B
Model B is related to testing and validating SDOs drafts on the 5G!Pagoda testbed and sharing the relevant
results with the SDOs.
Relevant SDOs are identified and a roadmap for impacting standards through the 5G!Pagoda testbed is
defined and agreed upon.
The project will leverage the testbed infrastructures developed and/or made accessible through the
partners of the consortium.

5G!Pagoda Version 1.1 Page 26 of 48
3.4. Standardization Achievements at the ITU
The standardization potential at the ITU is mainly located in the following groups: ITU-T Study Group 13
“Future networks including cloud computing, mobile and next-generation networks” and ITU-T Study Group
20 “Internet of things (IoT) and smart cities and communities”. The consortium members contributed to
standardization documents of the ITU SG 13 mainly.
Study Group 13 focuses on the standardization work related to the next-generation networks (NGNs). It
also caters to the evolutionary trajectory of NGNs, while elaborating on future networks and network
aspects of mobile telecommunications.
Currently, SG13 has been standardizing future networks with the objective of service, data, environmental
and socio-economic awareness. While it earlier also included standardization work on IoT, following the
creation of ITU-T SG20, work related to IoT was subsequently transferred to SG20.
3.4.1. ITU-T SG 13 – Y.IMT2020-BM
In the second year of the project, Orange, MI and DG submitted the proposals for modification of business
model for network slicing in Y.IMT2020-BM:
1. Modification of the network slicing ecosystem in Y.IMT2020-BM by introducing the Network
Infrastructure Manager role separated from Network Slice Manager role. The Network Infrastructure
Manager integrates infrastructure of many providers and offers the combined resources to Network Slice
Manager. The Network Slice Manager may interact with multiple Network Infrastructure Managers.
2. Modification of the network slicing ecosystem in Y.IMT2020-BM, which identifies the case in which the
slice Blueprint Provider, VNF Providers and the Network Slice Manager are different entities. As a result,
the separated role of slice Blueprint Provider is defined.
3. Modification of the network slicing ecosystem in Y.IMT2020-BM, which identifies the case where the
Network Slice Service Subscriber is provided a Network Slice that is created over several domains
(administrative or technological). Such multi-domain slice may have a provider, which is different to single-
domain slice providers, as well as a multi-domain network slice manager, which is different from managers
of single-domain slices. Additionally, two situations should be distinguished:
• the multi-domain network slice manager requests creation of a multi-domain slice according to its
detailed multi-domain blueprint;
• the multi-domain network slice manager requests creation of single-domain slices according to local
single-domain blueprints managed by network slice managers in domains, and then coordinates
concatenation of single domain slices into a multi-domain one.

5G!Pagoda Version 1.1 Page 27 of 48
3.4.2. ITU-T SG 13 – Y.multiSL
In the second year of the project, Orange and MI submitted the proposal for modification of the framework
for the support of multiple network slicing in TD163 Y.multiSL. The contribution proposes the following
changes:
• Modification of the high-level description of network slicing in the Overview part and inclusion of multi-
actors operation (in addition to operators: tenants, 3rd parties).
• Addition of 2 new use cases for multiple network slicing: MVNO (multiple network slices of different
service properties used by the same MVNO with a set of common mechanisms, e.g. user authentication,
handover etc.) and multi-operator attachment of UE (ability of user’s terminal to request an attachment
to specific slice provided by its respective operator, with which the user has a subscription, on per-
service/application level).
• Addition of support of a multi-tenant aspect of sharing of NFs within slices to high-level requirements
of multiple Network slicing.
3.4.3. ITU-T SG 13 – Y.NSOM
In the second year of the project, Orange and MI submitted the proposal for modification of the mobile
network slicing orchestration and management framework in ITU-T Y.NSOM. The contribution proposes to
modify:
• the requirements for mobile network slicing lifecycle management by addition of support of single and
multiple services by slices;
• the requirements for mobile network slicing deployment by addition of separation of slice and services
lifecycles, fast creation of slices on demand and creation of single or multiple domain slices;
• the requirements for mobile network slicing automation by modification of the requirement for
automated healing and scaling actions;
• the functional description of slice management and orchestration by adding the slice management
functions to be implemented within the slice, to the slice blueprint;
• the functional description of network function management by adding the slice network function
management to the slice as its part.
3.4.4. ITU-T SG 13 – other activities
In the second year, Waseda participated in ITU-T SG13/Q.22 activity and submitted the proposal entitled
“Proposal to Initiate a New Work Item on the Requirements in ICN Message Content and Naming Scheme
for Edge Computing and Service Chaining”. This was accepted as a new working item, and Waseda
University was assigned the editor position. Although the outcomes of 5G!Pagoda were not yet included,
the base ground for submission of Waseda’s achievements was established. Waseda will submit the
contribution based on the 5G!Pagoda project to this working item in the third year.

5G!Pagoda Version 1.1 Page 28 of 48
Prof. Nakao from The University of Tokyo is an Associate rapporteur of Q21/13 “Network Softwarization
Including Software-Defined Networking, Network Slicing and Orchestration”. He has led the standardization
discussions on network softwarization and has contributed to the development of a draft recommendation
ITU-T Y.3150 (ex Y.IMT2020-NetSoft) “High level technical characteristics of network softwarization for IMT-
2020”.
3.4.5. ITU-T Study Group 20
ITU-T Study Group 20 on Internet of Things (IoT) and smart cities and communities was created in 2015. It
follows up on the work initiated by the ITU-T Focus Group on Smart Sustainable Cities, which completed its
tenure in 2015. Currently, SG 20 conducts research and works on the standardization requirements of IoT
application within the smart city domain.
Since its inception, SG20 has been developing international standards implemented globally to enable the
coordinated development of IoT technologies, including machine-to-machine communications and
ubiquitous sensor networks. It also focuses on the end-to-end architectures for IoT and promotes
interoperability of IoT applications and datasets employed by various vertically oriented industry sectors,
especially in the urban realm.
In line with the work conducted within SG20, a contribution on the work conducted on network
infrastructures within 5G!Pagoda was submitted by MI to SG20 under Q3/20 on “Architectures,
Management, Protocols and Quality of Service”. It was proposed by the contribution to consider the
inclusion of this work into draft Recommendations and Supplements. This contribution will be further
discussed at ITU-T SG20 Q3/20 e-meetings.

3.5. Standardization Achievements at 3GPP
3GPP is a powerful standardization body and has been actively working on 5G. KDDI mainly participates and
contributes in the following work items.
3.5.1. 3GPP TR 23.799: “Study on Architecture for Next Generation System”
TR 23.799: Study on Architecture for Next Generation (NextGen) System lists several key issues relevant to
the design of a new architecture for next generation networks. Support of network slicing is treated as a
key issue. It defines network slicing as a concept to allow multiple logical networks to be on the top of
common shared physical infrastructure.
In TR 23.799, KDDI has proposed various use cases and key issues in the 5G mobile communication system.
The use cases and key issues relevant to 5G!Pagoda are:
• Supporting network slicing,
• Supporting for session and service continuity and efficient user plane path,
• Architecture impacts when using virtual environment.
3.5.2. 3GPP TS.23.501 “System architecture for the 5G system”
The TS 23.501 is a release 15 of technical specifications which describe the Stage 2 system architecture for
the 5G System, which provides data connectivity and services. Some of the solutions proposed in TR 23.799
are adopted in TS 23.501. The document contains architecture model and concepts, network functions
description, roaming and non-roaming scenarios, interworking between EPS and 5GS, policy and charging,
mobility and authentication and security aspects.
KDDI has submitted many contributions to TS 23.501. In the first year, KDDI proposed a framework to allow
the user terminal to have selections which network slices the terminal connects to, and functional roles in
the architecture of the 5G mobile communication system.
In the second year of the project, KDDI proposes network slice selection functions which support network
slice selection/reselection over the NextGen system. In order to reflect the results of 5G!Pagoda in the
specification, KDDI, with the collaboration with Ericsson, proposed several modification requests related to
network slicing for session management, Session Management Function (SMF) selection and User Plane
Function (UPF) selection.
3.5.3. 3GPP TS.23.502 “Procedures for the 5G system”
This specification describes detailed procedures for registration management, session management,
procedure for control and user plane functions interaction and, security and authentication procedure.
Regarding TS 23.502, KDDI proposed detailed procedures of negotiation for background data transfer for
5G core networks (5GC). KDDI also submitted a contribution that analyses the service of Session
Management Function (SMF) and then normatively specifies the services and the service operation. In order
to reflect the 5G!Pagoda results in the technical specification, KDDI submitted several modification requests
for some procedures such as handling of protocol data unit (PDU) session corresponding to Local Area Data
Network (LADNs).

5G!Pagoda Version 1.1 Page 30 of 48
3.5.4. 3GPP TS.23.503 “Policy for the charging control for the 5G system; stage 2” (UT, KDDI)
This specification describes the policy and charging control framework for the 5G system and the interaction
between network functions. Regarding TS 23.503, KDDI proposed a new solution to Policy Control
Framework to support Network Slicing. It is proposed to reuse the existing EPC's policy framework with the
modifications needed for supporting the Control and User Plane split. KDDI and Orange submitted a
contribution which proposes solution update to access data store in Unified Data Repository (UDR). KDDI,
together with Ericsson, proposed modification requests of the services name used in negotiation of future
background data transfer for 5G core.
3.6. Standardization Achievements at IETF

major activities of the IoT Forum is to organize the yearly IoT Week conference. Through the different
editions of the IoT Week and other activities, the IoT Forum permits to its members to collaborate between
them and to exchange ideas not only about IoT, but also about the emerging technologies like 5G. During
the last edition of the IoT Week held in Bilbao, specific sessions about 5G-IoT convergence were organized
with different topics like the ecosystem integration and management, the security and the privacy. MI has
already started organizing next year’s IoT Week held between June 17 and 21st 2019 in Aarhus, Denmark.
It will be an opportunity to give high visibility to a pilot and presentation on 5G network slicing for IoT. The
event is targeting the IoT community and industry.
4.3.2. TM Forum
The TM forum is a non-profit industry association for service providers and telecommunication operators.
In the second year, MI has worked together with the TM forum to organize the following four sessions on
5G convergence on June 4th 2018, during the IoT Week 2018 in Bilbao, Spain:
- 5G-Iot Convergence: An Overview
- An Interactive Session on 5GIoT Ecosystem Integration & Management
- 5G and IoT: The Security and Privacy Challenges
- GIOTS Industry Forum II: 5G LSP European and Chinese Perspective
Together with the TM Forum, MI is currently working to organize a track on IoT - 5G convergence during
the next IoT Week conference in Aarhus in 2019. The track would highlight the potential of network slicing
for the IoT sector.
4.3.3. IoT Lab
The IoT Lab association has been established by the European research project IoT Lab. It gathers and
federates several European testbeds together with crowdsourcing resources and tools. The IoT Lab
platform is managed by MI and the resources (sensors and actuators typically) available through IoT Lab
can be used in the frame of the research, test and validation of IoT related applications of dynamic slicing.
The IoT Lab resources are also used in the context of the 5G!Pagoda demonstration.
4.3.4. Open Platform for NFV (OPNFV)
Fraunhofer FOKUS is involved in OPNFV with the project Orchestra that was concluded last year with high
success. Orchestra enables the integration of the open source NFV MANO platform Open Baton with other
OPNFV projects for specific scenarios and use cases. In particular, the Open Baton installation was
integrated into different OPNFV installers in order to be part of the OPNFV installation process.

components was successfully performed.
4.3.6. GSMA Slicing Alliance
Fraunhofer FOKUS is one of the founding members of the “5G Slicing Association” formed in early 2018. It
addresses requirements from vertical industry and potential application scenarios of 5G network slicing on
the way to defining new business models.
4.3.7. Telecommunication Technology Committee (TTC)
Professor Nakao from the UT has been contributing the discussion on mobile access network softwarization
architecture for ITU-T SG13/Q21. Oki electronics, Mitsubishi, NEC, and NTT have submitted several
proposals after the TTC discussions which is consistent with 5G!Pagoda architecture.
4.4. Liaison and Cooperation with Other Research Projects
The members of 5G!Pagoda actively cooperate with other research projects. Indeed, a number of these
projects, including METIS II, 5G Ensure and Coherent fall under the scope of the 5G-PPP (5G Infrastructure
Public Private Partnership). The members also cooperate with other European projects.
5G-PPP
4.4.1. 5G ENSURE
5G ENSURE is a H2020 5G PPP project. It is targeting to develop a set of non-intrusive security and privacy
enablers (AAA, Privacy, Trust, Monitoring, Network Management and Virtualization Isolation) for the core
of the 5G reference architecture and to define a 5G security architecture giving operators a platform for
entirely new business opportunities. The goal is to deliver strategic impact across technology, business
enablement and standardization as well as to initiate a 5G security test bed vision and initial set-up in which
the security enablers will be made available and demonstrated. The project finished in October 2017.
Ericsson was a partner of the project focusing on the security architecture. The architecture was designed
with network slicing features. There has been a collaboration and information sharing between the people
working in 5G!Pagoda and 5G Ensure, especially regarding isolation of network slices, slicing based security
and SDN. In 5G Ensure, Ericsson has designed the 5G Ensure architecture and worked on threat analysis for
5G NFV architecture and the security of standalone EPC. Ericsson has also provided use cases as well as new
5G!Pagoda D6.3 – Second year report on standardization, dissemination and exploitation achievements
5G!Pagoda Version 1.1 Page 36 of 48
security enablers. Particular collaboration between the projects has produced solutions for SDN controller
selection for switches in slicing scenarios.
4.4.2. Coherent
The Coherent project is about new RAN for 5G. EURECOM is member of the Coherent consortium. The
cooperation of 5G!Pagoda and Coherent is RAN slicing. A two-level MAC scheduler for RAN slicing has been
developed in collaboration with Coherent members. The two-level MAC scheduler has been implemented
on top of OpenAirInterface (OAI) and shared by both projects to create and enforce RAN slices.
Other projects
4.4.3. F-Interop
F-Interop is a H2020 research project developing a platform on online testing tools for the IoT. It works in
close cooperation with several SDOs. MI is Scientific and Technical Coordinator of F-Interop and ensures
the liaison between both projects. Currently, F-Interop includes IoT related online testing tools in its
platform, and 5G!Pagoda may collaborate on 5G related conformance and/or interoperability testing tools
to be included in the platform.
4.4.4. ANASTACIA
ANASTACIA is a European research project researching new models and paradigm for cybersecurity.
ANASTACIA is developing a trustworthy by-design security framework which will address all the phases of
the ICT Systems Development Lifecycle and will be able to take autonomous decisions through the use of
new networking technologies such as Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function
Virtualization (NFV) and intelligent and dynamic security enforcement and monitoring methodologies and
tools.
The ANASTACIA cyber-security framework provides self-protection, self-healing and self-repair capabilities
through novel enablers and components. The framework dynamically orchestrates and deploy security
policies and actions that can be instantiated on local agents. Security is enforced in different kinds of devices
and heterogeneous networks, e.g., IoT- or SDN/NFV-based networks. The framework is designed in full
compliance to SDN/NFV standards as specified by ETSI NFV and OFN SDN, respectively. ANASTACIA includes
a suite of distributed trust and security components and enablers, able to dynamically orchestrate and
deploy user security policies and risk-assessed resilient actors within complex and dynamic CPS and IoT
architectures (online monitoring and testing techniques will allow more automated adaption to mitigate
new and unexpected security vulnerabilities).
MI, DG, AU, and Ericsson are all members of ANASTACIA and ensure a close cooperation between both
projects to develop synergies wherever relevant.
MI and DG are contributing to the identification of privacy threats at the network level. Ericsson is currently
considering slicing as one method of increasing security, e.g. through isolation of device categories and by
transferring devices with identified risks to slices with appropriate security functions.

5. Exploitation
The task T6.3 regarding exploitation is led by MI and has started in January 2018. The following chapter
discusses the exploitation strategy, the exploitation survey, individual exploitation achievements, and
collective exploitation achievements and plans.
5.1. Exploitation Strategy
There is a close interdependency between the task T6.3 on exploitation and the task T2.2 on market
analysis. Both task leaders have agreed on a joint collaborative approach between both tasks. Task T2.2 has
generated a first deliverable D2.2 that will influence the work orientation of task T6.3. Task T6.3 has started
in month 18 and will provide inputs to the task T2.2 that will generate the deliverable D2.4. The latter will
contribute to feed and guide the conclusion of task T6.3 leading to the adoption of the deliverable D6.5.
Figure 8 gives a visual representation of the exploitation strategy process.
Figure 8 - Integrated exploitation strategy for 5G!Pagoda
5.2. Exploitation Survey
Although exploitation will be discussed in more depth in the future deliverable D 6.5, MI has already taken
some preliminary steps and developed a relevant survey (see Annex 1) to be filled in by all the partners.
The survey contains closed and open questions about future exploitation plans of each partner and was
sent to all 5G!Pagoda partners to complete. All the partners, but two, have submitted the results to the
survey. The first part of the questionnaire is entitled “Partner perspective” and discusses exploitable results
from 5G!Pagoda. The second part, “Exploitable result description” addresses each partner’s exploitable
results in the framework of 5G!Pagoda.
It is interesting to note that the partners have already participated in a similar survey in the context of
Deliverable 2.2 ‘Initial business models, market analysis, and strategies for the adaptation of 5G!Pagoda
concept’. Nonetheless, the questions of the 2018 questionnaire were adapted to deliverable D 6.3. In the
5G!Pagoda D6.3 – Second year report on standardization, dissemination and exploitation achievements
5G!Pagoda Version 1.1 Page 38 of 48
framework of the present report, a number of similarities in the results can already be noted, particularly
in the first part of the questionnaire. The second part of the survey has, to a larger extent, allowed to
confirm the results presented in D2.2, while also concretizing certain aspects of the 5G!Pagoda exploitation
results, such as defining the timeframe for commercialization. As mentioned above, the complete results
of the survey are going to be fully presented and analyzed in D 6.5. Yet, in the context of the present
deliverable, we can already mention a number of orientations:
• Open source technology enablers and proprietary technology enablers are viewed by the majority
of partners as the main exploitable results of 5G!Pagoda. Consulting service and/or technology
transfers are an exploitation path also considered by certain respondents.
• All partners have a different perception about the competitive advantage of the 5G!Pagoda project.
While certain partners emphasize the technological element as the competitive advantage of their
exploitation plans, other partners recognize that the market situation, economic context and
expertise are the attributes that will allow them to outperform their competitors.
• There is an overall consensus amongst the partners about the target customers of 5G!Pagoda being
mobile network operators, mobile virtual network operators, IoT service providers, enterprise, and
network vendors.
• According to the results of the survey it appears that the 5G!Pagoda exploitable results belong to
the software category.
• On average, the 5G!Pagoda exploitable results will be mature to be commercialized within a 2-5
years timeframe.
• All the respondents to the survey have successfully underlined the competitive advantage of their
exploitable result compared to existing alternatives.
• Six collective exploitation results resulting from a collaboration between 5G!Pagoda partners can
already be noted. KDDI and Ericsson are working independently on their own exploitation results,
and Orange is currently in the process of exploring possible cooperation.
• The survey has shown that the partners’ approach diverges on the question whether their
exploitation result should be allowed to be freely exploited by third-parties. So far, only one partner
has confirmed that their product can be freely exploited. It appears that the remaining partners
plan on limiting the free exploitation of their results.
• The target customers of the exploitation results include: Infrastructure operators, Orchestrators
operators (network slice services brokers), Telco operators, Verticals and their slicing solutions
providers, R&D laboratories and academia.
• Regarding the priority geographic market, it appears that all partners but two are oriented towards
the global market.

5.3. Collective Exploitation Achievements
Different collaborations between European and Japanese partners are progressing in the last year of the
project with experiments and evaluations of the different 5G use cases and scenarios in IoT and human
communication domains, as described in more details in D5.2. In particular, the following use cases are
taken into consideration:
• ICN/CDN use case for Dynamic CDN as a Service, in collaboration with Waseda and AU;
• IoT Video Slices use case for dynamic slicing in emergency situations, in collaboration with DG, MI,
ERICSSON and FOKUS;
• Healthcare use case for the medical market applications, in collaboration with NESIC and UT;
• Deep Data Plane Programmability use case for realizing a highly programmable network node
architecture, in collaboration with UT and FOKUS;
• End-to-end slice instantiation use case for RAN, core network and transport slicing, in collaboration
with EURECOM and AU.
The different testbeds will be part of a unique common infrastructure that represents the 5G!Pagoda
integrated infrastructure, providing a comprehensive PoC for the multi-slicing architecture.
The first significant example of integration consists in dynamic real-time slicing for emergency situations.
Specifically, DG, MI, ERICSSON and FOKUS are building a testbed for the IoT Video Slices use case, as shown
in Figure 9. An edge datacenter in Geneva is connected through a VPN connection with the central
datacenter in Berlin, enabling the integration with the 5G!Pagoda testbed located in Tokyo and Berlin.
Partners will maintain the testbeds beyond the project lifetime and will seek for the further collaboration
on IoT usecase in 5G.
Figure 9 - Testbed for IoT and video usecase
In parallel, Japanese partners are building a testbed for network slicing, as shown in Figure 10. With regards
to this testbed, UT and NESIC are making slices for the purpose of creating unique services targeted towards
various markets by MVNO. In the framework of 5G!Pagoda, the main focus will be on increasing security
5G!Pagoda D6.3 – Second year report on standardization, dissemination and exploitation achievements
5G!Pagoda Version 1.1 Page 40 of 48
needs and demonstrating that security VNF runs on MVNO slices for healthcare use cases (see Figure 11).
UT and NESIC are conducting function verification in the hospitals, and aim for commercialization in the
future.

5.4. Individual Exploitation Achievements and Plans
The following section represents the individual exploitation achievements and plans transmitted by the
partners.
5.4.1. Aalto University
AU has been using the findings of the 5G!Pagoda in its teaching material, particularly in the two courses -
ELEC-E7230 - Mobile Communication Systems and ELEC-E7110 - Trends in Communication Engineering
Research. AU team has largely contributed to the community of Network Softwarization researchers and
that is in the form of many scientific publications, keynotes and tutorials as reported in this deliverable. AU
has developed the NSP tool, detailed in D3.2, and made it available for the public. AU has also made
contributions to the CRIU project and provided different consultancy to its industrial partners, particularly
NOKIA and Ericsson, in the areas of the 5G!Pagoda project.
5.4.2. Ericsson
The goal of Ericsson has been to develop and prototype future slicing features, including dynamic slicing,
scalability, isolation, NFV placement and slice selection. To differentiate from the work done in product
units, the research done with 5G!Pagoda has focused on more long term ideas based on assumptions on
possible commercial developments. The concepts developed within research are transferred to product
units as candidates for commercialization. Ericsson has presented the testbed developed within 5G!Pagoda
internally and discussed with relevant units on adopting ideas. There has also been extensive internal
information sharing on slicing related topics, including service-based architecture. There is also a planned
demo to be presented in a major internal event.
In particular, Ericsson has been discussing the transfer of ideas from the project into standardization,
including network-initiated slice selection and slice description. However, standardization is currently
focused on more short-term topics and will consider the project results later. There is still some internal
discussion to be done, as it is not agreed that the basic assumptions, including a massive number of slices,
adopted in 5G!Pagoda yet fully represent the near future direction.
Ericsson has also used the slicing testbed for promoting slicing and the concept of service specific slices.
The demo presented in IoT Week 2017 received a large audience and raised the awareness about the
advantages of network slicing within the IoT community. The market support of the concept of a large
number of service specific slices needs to be gained before commercial exploitation is successful.
5.4.3. Device Gateway SA
In the first and second year of the project, DG has been taking two major tracks of exploitation. First, DG
has been building IoT & Video slice testbed together with Ericsson, MI and FOKUS, benefiting the 5G slicing
technologies. The first demo has been presented in the IoT Week 2017 in Geneva, which received a large
audience and raised the awareness about the advantages of network slicing in the IoT community. The
accumulated knowledge of the 5G!Pagoda project has been directly used to build further business strategy
and to enrich its core technology development. Second, DG is promoting the project results to its
stakeholders, as the concepts of 5G slicing is not yet concrete in IoT community. As a frontier on building
IoT-5G integrated use case, DG is engaging in community discussion on business development.
5G!Pagoda D6.3 – Second year report on standardization, dissemination and exploitation achievements
5G!Pagoda Version 1.1 Page 42 of 48
DG, as an IoT service provider, is continuing the effort and testing the service specific slices to apply bigger
scope of IoT services. More technical experiments will be performed before commercial exploitation.
5.4.4. EURECOM
EURECOM has exploited the project results by publishing scientific publications in international journals
and conferences, and participating to panels. Moreover, the OpenAirInterface (OAI) (open source tool for
5G) has been enriched by the RAN slicing functionality as specified and defined in WP4.
EURECOM’s exploitation plan is to continue disseminating the project outputs by publishing the project’s
results in international journals and conferences, and organizing events around 5G!Pagoda results.
5.4.5. Fraunhofer-FOKUS
In the first and second year of the project, Fraunhofer has had three major tracks of exploitation. First,
dissemination via industry relationships in order to promote 5G!Pagoda research results, including the
FOKUS FUSECO FORUM series of conferences, that took place during the first and second year of the
project, and exploitation in lecture courses (e.g. at TU Berlin). Fraunhofer has also published relevant results
in the form of academic publications and participated to different international conferences and keynotes.
Secondly, the accumulated knowledge of the 5G!Pagoda project has been directly transferred to the
industry through direct consultancy, services and research projects. Especially, the resulting 5G!Pagoda
platform is fundamental in the context of the 5G Berlin trial infrastructure (integration of the latest
developments in hardware and software of 5G prototypes), enhancing research on 5G distributed facilities
and network slicing.
Finally, Fraunhofer is enriching the functional portfolio with state of the art features with extensions on top
of the Open5GCore, Open Baton and related toolkits for addressing the 5G related requirements on self-
evolvable and self-expandable ecosystem that will be mirrored at customer premises.
5.4.6. Mandat International
The research infrastructure used by Mandat International was already extended with the first results of the
5G!Pagoda project for the dynamic network slicing. This includes the distributed IoT Lab testbed managed
by Mandat International. IoT Lab is a research platform exploring the potential of crowdsourcing and IoT.
The platform encourages the multidisciplinary research with more interactions with the different end-users.
So, the crowd is placed at the core of the research and innovation process. With the dynamic network
slicing, the management of the MI network is improved across the different locations of the IoT Lab testbed.
At the same time, the federation of remote IoT Lab testbeds can benefit from 5G connections for the
experiments.
In the second year of the project, the achievements of the 5G!Pagoda project were used by Mandat
International to feed the standardization effort at the ITU-T. The outputs of the project, in particular for the
IoT, are transmitted to ITU-T where MI is actively engaged in the Study Group 20 covering the Internet of
Things and the Smart Cities.
Mandat International is extending the collaboration with the industrial partners of the project and will
continue in this direction during the project.

5.4.7. Orange
During the second year of the project, Orange decided to organize its own laboratory environment based
on National Instruments USRP SDR modules and OpenAirInterface software developed by the consortium
led by EURECOM. It is intended to test the architectural slicing concepts developed within the project using
the Open Source software.
Orange also plans to continue its dissemination activities by publishing conference and journal papers
dedicated to management & orchestration architectures and business models of network slicing as well.
5.4.8. University of Tokyo
During the first and second year of the project, UT has been contributing to the ITU-T FG-2020
standardization and SG15 Q21 on network virtualization technologies. The UT’s inspiring 5G network
virtualization demo at the ITU-T FG-2020 workshop and demo day in December 2016 has been very
successful and appeal our technology advances. Moreover, Professor Nakao has been acting as one of
technology leaders in 5GMF (5G Mobile Communications Promotion Forum) in Japan, in order to promote
5G! Pagoda research results.
As far as the UT’s data plane programmable node is concerned, the UT has been promoting the 5G!Pagoda
research results through over 20 times keynotes and invited presentations, in order to promote it in the
business sector. The UT plans to promote such state-of-the-art technologies to members of the industry in
order to integrate their business environment. The UT intends to commercialize their technologies in a
couple of years.
5.4.9. KDDI
During the first and second year of the project, KDDI has been working on the 3GPP standardization with
Ericsson and 3GPP members who are dealing with or adopting the specified 5G mobile communication
systems as the potential exploitation. KDDI has succeeded to have agreements for more than 26
contributions and three technical specifications which have been published in December 2017.
KDDI has also been actively involved in evaluating the ability of 5G prototype systems in building mobile
network slices. Additionally, KDDI also verifies the features of the mobile network slice availability and
usability in designing the 5G mobile service communications.
KDDI plans to adopt the network slicing features in their commercial system and migrate a part of the
mobile communication services to slicing-based 5G systems in the next couple of years.
5.4.10. Waseda University
In the first and second year of the project, Waseda has been working towards the realization of ICN in a
variety of ways, including through the means of standardization. The main activity in this aspect is in ITU-T
SG13/Q.22, where Waseda proposed a new study item for this study period. The study item was accepted
and Waseda was assigned as editor to promote the discussion.
The second type of activity worth mentioning involves written publications and presentations. In the second
year of the project, Waseda made 3 presentations in international conferences including one keynote and
one invited talk. One journal paper was published.
5G!Pagoda D6.3 – Second year report on standardization, dissemination and exploitation achievements
5G!Pagoda Version 1.1 Page 44 of 48
The third type of activity involves new project proposals using the technologies established by 5G!Pagoda.
Waseda proposed some projects, and one was accepted and the other is under evaluation. Waseda will
enrich the ICN related 5G!Pagoda achievements by utilizing them in other projects, and has a good chance
to do so in the coming years.
5.4.11. NESIC
In the second year of the project, NESIC has been investigating the effective introduction of network slicing
in the MVNO network. NESIC aims to utilize network slicing and the data plane program to provide optimal
service quality for multiple use cases.
Additionally, NESIC plans to realize network slicing features in their upcoming 5G services.
5.4.12. Hitachi
In the first and second year of the project, Hitachi mainly conducted an evaluation work of the DSSO
(Domain Specific Service Orchestrator) which can manage and orchestrate versatile virtual resource ranging
from network slice resources to cloud and IoT devices to accelerate service velocity.
Hitachi has been conducting an evolution of “Resource Pooling” architecture for its Network Slice
Orchestrator.
The orchestrator with the “Resource Pooling” capabilities is primarily intended to achieve service
development/deployment velocity, with the virtualization of any types of ICT resources including various
types of networks, cloud/edge computing ones, and even end-devices like sensors.
Hitachi has completed the first-phase performance evaluation of the architecture, mainly from the view
point of scalable slice management, which consists of consideration for the total volume of the slice
instances in operation and the modification interval of each one.
Hitachi is also developing the OAM capabilities on that to achieve the agile service restoration in case of
infrastructure failures.
Finally, Hitachi will introduce these developed technologies for the systems integration of innovative ICT
areas like IoT.

6. Conclusion
The deliverable D6.3. has shown 5G!Pagoda’s progress in the field of dissemination, standardization and
exploitation in the second year of the project.
The results on dissemination have been outlined in chapter 2. In the second year of the project, the partners
have persevered in their efforts and contributed to further disseminate and promote the 5G!Pagoda
project. The dissemination methods included the publication of articles in journals and magazines, the
organization of relevant tutorials, keynotes and presentations, the participation in global IoT events
(particularly the FOKUS FUESCO Forum 2017 and the Helsinki5GWeek), and the promotion of the
5G!Pagoda project on the main dissemination channels (official website, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn).
Chapter 3 discussed the efforts in the field of standardization in the second year of the project. Following a
presentation of the 5G!Pagoda standardization strategy, the deliverable has examined the partners’
standardization contributions to the ITU, 3GPP and IETF. Such contributions have allowed to achieve
broader recognition of the project’s results by a wide industry community, stimulate higher levels of
interoperability and contribute to establishing economies of scale for 5G!Pagoda applications.
Chapter 4 on “Partnerships, Liaisons and Cooperation” has sought to provide an update on the status of the
partnerships previously identified in D 6.2. It has also allowed to introduce new partnership paths and
opportunities for the next period.
Finally, chapter 5 on exploitation has provided early insights into the results of the 5G!Pagoda exploitation
survey that will be further analyzed in D 6.5. The chapter has also shed light on the individual and collective
exploitation achievements of all partners in the second year of the project.
