Business Models and Techno-Economics of 5G Networks and Beyond

The “1st International Workshop on Business Models and Techno-economic of 5G Networks and Beyond” will be held in conjunction with the 25th Conference on Innovation in Clouds, Internet and Networks (ICIN 2022) in Paris, France, from February 7-10, 2022.

This workshop aims to get together the broad community of researchers in both academia and the industry (manufacturers, telecom operators, ICT suppliers, verticals) with interest in the techno-economic dimension of the technological evolution for 5G and 6G mobile networks.

Telecommunication networks are always in permanent evolution. However, in recent years the evolution pace has been accelerated with profound changes in the way mobile networks are built, operated and managed. These changes are accompanied by novel forms of network usage, mainly due to the development and offer of advanced services.
Technical advances enabled by network programmability and virtualization permit flexible configuration and adaptation of the network for specific purposes, making it possible to leverage a multi-tenancy approach based on the idea of network slicing. Moreover, disaggregation approaches, at both architectural and device levels, are facilitating the emergence of new actors in the industry and the need to support interoperability and coordination across multiple stakeholders.

Finally, the prospect of delivering innovative advanced services is moving the industry towards the need to develop new technologies and network architectures (e.g., distribution of computing facilities), exemplified by the future evolution of 5G towards a new 6G generation. However, this will impose more stringent requirements to support potentially broad adoption by new kinds of end-users from vertical industrial sectors.
This technological landscape raises the point of identifying proper business models for guaranteeing a viable and sustainable transition from one stage to another, as well as the need of understanding the impacts of each novel component or value proposition through detailed techno-economic analysis.


The workshop will combine original full and short paper presentations with a motivating keynote to thoroughly explore this challenging area. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Architectural options (e.g., radio functional split, cloud-edge-fog, etc.)
  • Technological options (e.g., disaggregation, cloud-based, slicing, etc.)
  • Operational options (e.g., programmability, virtualization, etc.)
  • Dimensioning analysis (e.g., usage patterns, demand forecasts, etc.)
  • Cost optimization (e.g., OpEx and CapEx comparison, sensitivity studies, etc.)
  • Sustainable sharing schemas
  • Novel service development (e.g., pricing strategies, user adoption, etc.)
  • Stakeholders’ ecosystem (e.g., OTT vs ISPs, whitebox vs traditional manufacturers, verticals vs public providers, etc.)
  • New providers (5G/6G private networks, hyperscalers, community networks, etc.)

Paper submissions must present original research or analysis.
Only original papers that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere can be submitted.
Each submission must follow the Author Guidelines established for the ICIN conference.

The number of pages for submissions should be 6.
