AI for in-home networks and their services is a crucial aspect in the F5G Advanced era, as operators need to monetise the network beyond pure connectivity and gain a competitive advantage in providing home broadband connectivity. Organised by ETSI ISG F5G, this session provided various perspectives on use cases and scenarios, technical requirements, network architecture, standardisation progress, and innovation with proof-of-concepts on AI for FTTR/in‑home networks and services.

F5G Advanced Use Cases Driving the Optical Network Technology development

ETSI GR F5G 020, F5G Advanced Use Cases; Release 3 is publishing use cases to be enabled by the F5G Advanced (F5G-A) network. The use cases in that document include services and applications for residential customer, enterprises, vertical industries, network operation optimizations, and evolved fixed end-to-end infrastructure, which were not supported by the F5G network. Use cases will aim to introduce new technical requirements for the F5G Advance network along various characteristic dimensions. The use cases will be used as input to drive the technology development and standardization of new features for F5G Advanced based on the technical requirements derived from those use cases.
