Smart cities face common issues of inadequate mobile coverage and user dissatisfaction indoors, notably in smaller enterprises burdened by costly, complex cellular systems. Concurrently, the deployment of 5G and Beyond (5GB) infrastructure by mobile network operators struggles with high Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) overshadowing Return on Investment (ROI). This paper investigates challenges in implementing 5GB infrastructure, particularly in medical facilities within smart cities, catering to diverse usage needs. We propose a novel design of combining neutral host technology and the High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) protocol, capable of satisfying the diverse Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of future healthcare services overall while prioritizing Ultra Reliability Low Latency Communication (URLLC) use cases. By modeling our design as an optimization problem and assessing its efficiency against 5GB requirements, simulations unveil an impressive 50% TCO reduction. Our algorithm ensures predefined availability and latency target levels, meeting URLLC compliance for various 5GB-enabled medical facility of a smart city.

摘要

Smart cities face common issues of inadequate mobile coverage and user dissatisfaction indoors, notably in smaller enterprises burdened by costly, complex cellular systems. Concurrently, the deployment of 5G and Beyond (5GB) infrastructure by mobile network operators struggles with high Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) overshadowing Return on Investment (ROI). This paper investigates challenges in implementing 5GB infrastructure, particularly in medical facilities within smart cities, catering to diverse usage needs. We propose a novel design of combining neutral host technology and the High-availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) protocol, capable of satisfying the diverse Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of future healthcare services overall while prioritizing Ultra Reliability Low Latency Communication (URLLC) use cases. By modeling our design as an optimization problem and assessing its efficiency against 5GB requirements, simulations unveil an impressive 50% TCO reduction. Our algorithm ensures predefined availability and latency target levels, meeting URLLC compliance for various 5GB-enabled medical facility of a smart city.
