Along with the completion of the development of 4G technologies, the global mobile community starts the study of the next generation technologies, i.e. 5G technologies. This paper proposes a new flexible architecture for 5G mobile networks based on Network Function Virtualization(NFV) and Software Defined Network(SDN) technologies, which is adaptable to use cases and scenarios. Then implementation reference architecture and some typical 5G network deployment cases are discussed. Besides, some key issues for further study are also indicated at the end.
