- The Internet of Things (IoT) poses at least three key challenges to future communications networks, namely: i) the need for interoperability, ii) the management of a wide variety of sometimes opposite requirements defined by various applications (e.g., ultra-low latency, high reliability for mission-critical applications, or highly dynamic bandwidth allocation for mobile broadband), and iii) scalability. In this context, Software Defined Networking (SDN) emerges as a key enabler for the IoT to face these three unique characteristics of the IoT. SDN enables a global orchestration of the cloud, network, and IoT resources in a scenario where multiple network domains integrating all network segments (radio access/backhaul, aggregation and core transport) with heterogeneous wireless and optical technologies interconnect wireless sensor and actuator networks with distributed computing nodes, edge, and core data centers. Conducting real-life demonstrations of such a complex system is not easy. This paper describes the first-known 5G end-to-end experimental platform for the IoT developed by CTTC. This platform integrates various experimental facilities already available at CTTC. In addition, the roadmap for future integration, supported functionalities, and use cases between the different experimental facilities is also described in this paper.
