The document discusses 5G self-healing techniques using software defined architecture. It describes how software defined networking (SDN) uses self-healing techniques to enable self-recovery from software or hardware faults, self-monitoring of the network, and reducing the need for network administrators. SDN provides a centralized controller that can shape traffic and direct switches without touching individual devices, allowing for a more automated 5G network. Key aspects of 5G discussed include high transmission speeds, simultaneous connectivity across access technologies, smart radios, and IPv6 addressing.
