RT Conference Proceedings T1 5Growth: AI-driven 5G for Automation in Vertical Industries A1 Papagianni, Chrysa A1 Murillo, Pablo A1 Mangues-Bafalluy, Josep A1 Bermudez, Pedro A1 Barmpounakis, Sokratis A1 Vleeschauwer, Danny De A1 Brenes, Juan A1 Zeydan, Engin A1 Casetti, Claudio A1 GuimarĂ£es, Carlos A1 Garcia Saavedra, Andres A1 Corujo, Daniel A1 Pepe, Teresa AB Spurred by a growing demand for higher-quality mobile services in vertical industries, 5G is integrating a rich set of technologies, traditionally alien to the telco ecosystem, such as machine learning or cloud computing. Despite the initial steps taken in prior research projects in Europe and beyond, additional innovations are needed to support vertical use cases. This is the objective of the 5Growth project: automate vertical support through (i) a portal connecting verticals to 5G platforms (a.k.a. vertical slicer), a multi-domain service orchestrator and a resource management layer, (ii) closed-loop machine-learning-based Service Level Agreement (SLA) control, and (iii) end-to-end optimization. In this paper, we introduce a set of key 5Growth innovations supporting radio slicing, enhanced monitoring and analytics and integration of machine learning.
