N2 - This paper presents the Flex5Gware project, whose goal is
to deliver highly reconfigurable hardware (HW) platforms
and HW-agnostic software (SW) platforms for 5G network
elements and terminal devices. Flex5Gware will enable 5G
HW/SW platforms to meet the requirements imposed by the
growth in mobile traffic and the diversity of
applications by increasing their capacity, reducing their
energy footprint and enhancing their scalability and
modularity. To put in place this vision in this early
stage of 5G PPP research, Flex5Gware is designing and
prototyping key building blocks of 5G HW/SW platforms. In
particular, the developed technologies will be evaluated
and demonstrated with proofs-of-concept by the end of the
project.
