This requirement can be met by efficiently integrating all network segments (radio access, aggregation and core) with heterogeneous wireless and optical technologies (5G, mmWave, LTE/LTE-A, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, MPLS, WDM, software-defined optical transmission, etc.), and massive computing and storage cloud services (offered in edge/core data centers, and even, distributed in network nodes). This paper introduces the preliminary architecture aiming at integrating three consolidated and standalone experimental in- frastructures at CTTC, in order to deploy the required end-to- end top-to-bottom converged infrastructure pointed out above for testing and developing advanced 5G services. The existing experimental facilities cover complementary technologies from terminals to radio access, aggregation/core and cloud, and are: the GEDOMIS R testbed (LTE/5G PHY testbed), the EXTREME Testbed R (wireless HetNet and backhaul, edge datacenter,a d distributed computing nodes), and the ADRENALINE Testbed R (packet aggregation and optical core network, core data-center). Two uses cases addressing Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) developed in ADRENALINE and EXTREME, and virtual mobile network function splitting and deployment, involving EXTREME and GEDOMIS, are also presented Postprint (author's final draft) 2015 Conference report Open Access Wireless World Research Forum (WWRF)
