Motivation and Scope of Tutorial
5G network is expected to be the platform catering the requirements and business needs of a verity of vertical. A key challenge for the more complex and flexible 5G network results from the scale and flexibility of deployment, optimization, management and orchestration of the network. An open, multi-vendor interoperable ecosystem driving healthier competition, lowering costs for RAN equipment, and delivering a much larger pool of vendors. However, there is still a lot issue in deploying and operating this kind of RAN. Furthermore, manually management to deliver new services and managing RAN capacity will no longer be practical. Intelligence and automation must be integrated into all aspects of the network lifecycle to reduce both CAPEX and OPEX. There are several operator-led industry initiatives such as the O-RAN Alliance that aims to generically create an open RAN ecosystem. This tutorial addresses challenges, key technologies, and current status of open RAN in the aspect of openness and intelligence.

Industry Tutorial 4 (IT-04, Live): The InterPlanetary File System and the Filecoin Network
Date/Time: 8 December 2020, Tuesday: 14:00-17:30
Room: TICC 4F Joy Lounge
Organizer/Speaker(s) of Tutorial
Yiannis Psaras, Research Scientist, Protocol Labs, UK

Alfonso de la Rocha
Motivation and Scope of Tutorial
Introduction: The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a peer-to-peer content-addressable distributed file system that seeks to connect all computing devices with the same system of files. It is an open-source community-driven project, supported by Protocol Labs with reference implementations in Go and Javascript, and a global community of millions of users.
IPFS resembles past and present efforts to build and deploy content-centric approaches to content storage, resolution, distribution and delivery. IPFS and libp2p, which is the modular network stack of IPFS, are based on name-resolution based routing. The resolution system is based on Kademlia DHT and content is addressed by flat hash-based names. IPFS sees significant real-world usage, with tens of companies building on top of its set of protocols, over 250,000 daily active network nodes, millions of end users and wide adoption by several other projects in the Decentralised Web space, but not only.
An adjacent project to IPFS, which was also masterminded and is being developed within Protocol Labs is Filecoin. Filecoin is a protocol token that supports a decentralised storage and delivery network. Storage and retrieval miners are rewarded according to their contribution to the network and the mechanics of Filecoin secure the network against malicious activity.
The objective of this half-day tutorial is to make the audience familiar with IPFS and Filecoin and able to use the tools provided by the project for research and development. The tutorial targets both developers and researchers, who may contribute to the project or use it as a tool.
Motivation for this Tutorial: IPFS and libp2p are becoming the de facto standard for data storage in the Decentralised Web and, as such, they are being used by a vast number of projects and initiatives in this space, including the Ethereum platform. The basic principles and core components of the IPFS protocol stack have their roots in academic research and are therefore deeply linked with the academic world. We believe that it will be beneficial for the audience of IEEE GLOBECOM, a conference traditionally interested in fundamental principles and protocols in the area of networking, to become aware of the nitty gritty details of the protocols and the features supported. As the one of the first decentralised storage networks, efficient and robust operation is critical to Filecoin. For this, input and feedback from the academic community is of utmost importance for the project at this point in time.
The attendees do not need to have prior knowledge of IPFS, libp2p or Filecoin and basic knowledge and understanding of core networking and network security principles will be sufficient in order to follow along.

Motivation and Scope of Tutorial
With the advent of 5G, more and more opportunities are brought in; however, the challenges are also generated. How to conquer the challenges and make the most use of the opportunities introduced by 5G becomes an imperative mission for mobile operators. The applications of 5G are widespread, including Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Ultra-reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) and massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC). Taking advantage of SDN/NFV/Cloud technology to swiftly and automatically manage resources and to decouple software from hardware is vital to help operator transform to be an intelligent and a digital one. Most importantly, mobile edge computing is the key enabler for operators to efficiently meet the requirements of high bandwidth and low latency services, and to differentiate operator from OTT. At the same time, many enterprises are eager for the 5G private network to meet the requirements of high bandwidth and low latency applications, and to enhance security.
In general, there are three kinds technologies to implement the 5G private network, comprising on-premises Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC), edge cloud, and dedicated core network. The on-premises MEC and dedicated core network are constructed at enterprise site and are thus suitable for small area applications, such as smart factory and smart healthcare. For the applications in large area, covering telemedicine, Internet of Vehicles (IoV) and on-line gaming, the edge cloud usually established at telecom room was served as the solution. The complete ecosystem of private network was composed of hardware, software, and applications. For Taiwan, taking advantage of the strong capability in hardware, software and versatile applications make it easy to prosper the ecosystem compared to other country in the world.
In this workshop, not only the tutorial of private network solution is covered, but also the live demonstration combining 5G MEC and related applications is also included. The possible solutions of private network are introduced where an innovative on-premises 5G MEC solution was emphasized, featuring with the capabilities of autonomously managing the versatile conditions of local breakout, setting up the allocated bandwidth, network accessibility, and used services based on time, location, and MSISDN. At the same time, the hardware of realizing MEC, including x86 server and SDN switch will be illustrated. Moreover, the applications of real-time data analysis and management of equipment effectiveness and energy, and robot arm with visual inspection combined with 5G MEC will also be portrayed and demonstrated.
