One of the fundamental challenges that needs to be addressed in 5G systems and beyond relates with delivery of demanding uninterrupted services to mobile users. In this context, optical transport networks play a key role as they facilitate disaggregation of the Radio Access and Core Network resources and the associated network functions. They can also enable disaggregation and dynamic allocation of compute resources and the relevant virtualised functions to address fast user mobility through solutions such as live VM migration. This paper presents relevant architectures and provide an evaluation analysis on the benefits of the proposed approach.
