Benefits and Challenges of ICN
Better utilization through native multicast!
Better privacy and path resilience to failure

FG IMT-2020: Report on Standards Gap Analysis:

Considering ICN as a protocol for IMT-2020 Network

ICN can meet the need of IMT-2020, to migrate to protocols which ca

n comprehensively integrate infrastructure, transport, and content.
Three deployment options of ICN in IMT-2020
(1) over-the-top, It is realizes no inherent benefits for IMT-2020
(2) continue using IP as transport for mobility management and ICN
for service delivery without overlay. That as the most likely near-term
use of ICN within IMT-2020.
(3) using

ICN as native transport for mobility manage

ment and service delivery. ICN routing exists througho
ut the network. The use of ICN to replace IP as the transport protoc
ol within IMT-2020 is still a stretch goal within the 2020 timeframe.

The Requirements to ICN

(1) Mobility End-point mobility as a basic service .Eliminate service gateways (bott
leneck points), IP tunnels, etc. (flat) Fast authentication, dynamic handoff (vertical),
and global roaming. Mobility service should be scalable (billions of devices) and fast
~50-100 ms .Implications for core naming /routing/security architecture of Internet
(2) Handling Disconnection & BW Variation. Wireless medium has inherent fluctuatio
ns in bit-rate (as much as 10:1 in 4G access), heterogeneity and disconnection .New
requirements include in-network storage/delay tolerant delivery, dynamic rerouting
(late binding), etc.
(3) Multicast as a Basic Service
(4) Multi-Homing as a Standard Feature
(5) Efficient Content Delivery
(6) Context-Aware Services Context-aware delivery associated with mobile services,
M2M
(7) Edge Cloud Services
(8) Edge Peering and Ad Hoc Networks

Migration towards newly emerging networks

The migration from the starting network to target 5G network b

y Network Softwarization can gradually be done by using the hy

The Convergence of 5G and FI(ICN)

Win-Win Future

The convergence of5G and ICN will breakthetether with the

existing "IP", towards the post IP network era, give full play to
the various advantages of the Future Internet . ICN can provide
benefits for IMT-2020 network supporting very large-scale
heterogeneous devices, IoT networks, new mobility models,
edge computing, and end device self-configuration, Flat network
to minimize E2E latency
IMT-2020 will begin commercial deployment in 2020,If ICN can
be a protocol for IMT-2020 , the Process of Future Internet
deployment will be accelerated

The Roadmap of 5G Development

If the use of ICN to replace IP as the transport pr
otocol can be realized in R16, they will have com
mercial deployment in 2022, as phase2.
It is a stretch goal
