Abstract
Although 5G promises advanced features such as low latency, high data rates and reliability as well as high socio-economic value, the business opportunities of the proposed solutions have not yet been examined. In this paper, the SESAME approach along with spectrum sharing options and indicative use cases are initially described. The incentives for SESAME adoption along with the value proposition and creation are analyzed. Finally, a reference model describing the role and interactions of the involved players as well as the revenue streams is provided.
