How to begin?

In order to begin... I got to understand the title of the thesis. Obvious, but got to express it! So, I got to have an understanding of some key concepts:

• Network Slicing
• 5G
• Security

These concepts seem very broad, but by exploring the literature during the State of the Art (SOTA) review, I think I can narrow down the meaning of all of this under the scope of mobile networks. According to my experience and precious reading, I think I would have to revisit concepts from NFV and SDN, as cornerstone for and automatized network.

And well, where to search for information about those concepts? My advisers recommended me to check the main standard development organization (SDO) documents that talk about the subject. Since all of this is under construction, I am sure I will have fun reading all these documentation.

I will focus on 3 SDOs:

• 3GPP
• ETSI
• 5GMN

There is other from 5G Americas, but it will be a bonus "just in case".

As the reading and analysis advances, I will be posting a summary and my point of view on the key concepts.
