Authors - Aryan Jain, Shrirang Joshi, Vatsal Jain, Dinesh Kumar Saini Abstract - 5G network roll-out is expanding globally, which further shows that low-cost and good modem design remains to be absolutely integral. Scaling here is tough, not to mention the complexity and cost of production involved in traditional hardware-based 5G modems. This analysis explores how advances such as Open Radio Access Networks (Open RAN), Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) could reduce the hardware requirements, leading to lower costs for 5G modems. We marvel over the functionalities which we take for granted in a modem, such as digital signal processing and base-band processing, are being virtualized so that it is done on general-purpose hardware rather than on parts custom designed to do these particular tasks. Adopting cloud-native and software-based solutions for these traditional hardware-driven processes can bring huge savings without compromising on performance. In addition, we discuss Dynamic Resource and Change in Network efficiency which are improved by Modem Allocation, Edge Computing, Network Slicing — SDN NFV open day light. This collection of methods is described in a comprehensive article on the application of virtual network technologies to improve 5G modem design, reduce deployment costs, and enable more flexible, scalable, and energy-efficient 5G solutions.
