Re: Network Information Roadmap

Dear Natasha,

Thank you for your work.

I have two comments regarding the description of 5G.

(1)Modifying the sentences regarding 5G
Your document expresses that there are no defined requirements for 5G which have been agreed by a consensus of mobile network operators.

But, now NGMN(Next Generation Mobile Networks) published 5G requirements as the white paper.
https://www.ngmn.org/uploads/media/NGMN_5G_White_Paper_V1_0.pdf

May I modify the sentences regarding 5G and 
add the reference of NGMN as the defined requirements of the operators?

(2)Adding the reference of 3GPP SA1
3GPP SA1 is considering service use case in 5G.
http://www.3gpp.org/DynaReport/22891.htm

Actually, SA1 work is not finished.
But, I consider that the reference of SA1 will give good information to the web developers.
May I add the reference of SA1 work in the site?

best regards, takeshi

> ### Mobile Operator Network in a Nutshell
> Mobile operator networks are nicely divided into two main sections:
> 
> * Radio Access Network (RAN) - connects a user's device to the Core Network. This includes base station which are often grouped in "tracking areas". A Radio Resource Controller lives within the base station and manages the scheduling of who talks when, allocated bandwidth, the signal power used, the power state of each device, and a dozen other variables.
> * Core Network - the Core Network connects the radio network to the interent and manages other functions inbetween including routing traffic and billing. The Core Network receives data from the internet into the PGW (Packet Gateway). The PGW manages any policy and billing and passes the data to the SGW (Serving Gateway) to send to the user. The SGW likely does not know where the user is, so queries the MME (Mobility Management Entity) to tell it which base station and location to send the data to to reach the user.
> 
> The external network (internet) is connected to the mobile network via the PGW in the core network. The mobile network responsbility ends here.
