5G benefits and timetableWhat will 5G bring?
A unique infrastructure to meet all needs
A new flexible & programmable radio interface able to address diverse
requirements, reduced latency (1 ms)
Very high throughputs and capacity, use of spectrum >6GHz
Evolved Mobile BroadBand (eMBB): higher throughputs
Massive Machine Type Communication: capability to support a very
important number of connections of objects with limited battery life and
low cost requirements. Smart building, logistics, tracking and fleet
management
Critical Machine Type Communication: very small latencies and
reliability. Traffic safety and control, industrial applications and control,
remote manufacturing, training, surgery
When?
Before 2020: tests, limited commercial services (fixed wireless access)
2020: introduction of first real 5G services with (improved MIMO, more
carrier aggregation, …)
2025: all functionalities deployed, significant mmWave deployments
3 main use cases of 5G and their specific requirements

Requirements before standardizing: full availability, latency, reliability
• Improved throughputs but also about higher mobility (up to
500 km/h), lower energy efficiency, improved latency in the
range of 1 ms
• Flexibility : operation on any kind of spectrum (low/high/very
high)
• Virtualization of network functions and SDR to foster
convergence of multiple Radio Access Technologies, either
3GPP based or not (such as WiFi)
• Tight integration with 4G, thanks to an adaptive air interface
with both backward and forward compatibility
• Network architecture to go beyond the traditional cellular
architecture with ultra densified networks, user equipment
serving as relays, broadcast communication …
Performance objectives for 5G

5G development: standardization is a long process
3GPP
Several players with different interest are involved
Regulation authorities and standardization bodies
Mobile Network operators and service providers
Equipment (infrastructure and terminals) and software vendors
A roadmap aligned on the ITU-R deadline for recognition as a an
International Mobile Telecommunication system. Deadline set for 2019
A phased development approach must secure early 5G deployments
around 2020
Initial focus on TDD, frequency bands between 6 and 40 GHz with LTE
air interface, demonstration at Winter Olympics game in South Korea in
2018 and first commercial deployments in 2020
In practice first 5G commercial networks should still be operated on
frequencies bellow 6 GHz. Higher frequencies will be harnessed later on
between 2020 and 2030 (except fixed wireless access)
Phase 1: Release 15, phase 2 (full IMT 2020, NR): Release 16

Network slicing Network slicing (network virtualization) is a key feature to enable
several players with diverging needs to coexist on the same
infrastructures with guaranteed level of QoS.
• A native SDN / NFV based architecture
• 3 independent layers (infrastructure, business enablement &
application)
• An orchestrator to create independent slices and allocate
resources of each layer to fulfill specific use case
5G business models
Mobile operators are looking at new ways to monetise 5G: pay-per-
use, Private network with dedicated spectrum operated by MNOs…
IoT challenge

Spectrum for 5GEurope: 3.4-3.8 GHz, 24.5-27.5 GHz, 31.8-33.4 GHz and 40.5-43.5 GHz
More than 10 GHz allocated to mobile in the USA in new bands
More sharing needed. Facilitated by:
- High path loss in mmWave, antenna technology, HetNets
- Quantity of spectrum available will provide more options

5G testsMany trials and collaborations were announced in 2016 with speeds of tens of Gbps:
Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) will probably be the first « 5G »: tests will start in 2017 in the USA
Commercial service likely in 2018-2019 in the USA and maybe in South Korea
• AT&T tested 5G in Austin, Texas in Q2 2016. Field trials of 5G are expected before year-end.
• Verizon is to test 5G in the company's innovation centers in Waltham, Mass., and San Francisco. The MNO targets 4K
TV for its 5G tests.
• Plans to use 28 GHz and 37 GHz bands for this service. Probably for urban areas
• Verizon Wireless announced in September 2016 that it plans to compete with cable operators. First commercial deployment in Boston?
• SK Telecom showed demos using the 28 GHz band and is still talking about its plans to be the first to debut
“commercial” 5G service in time for the 2018 Winter Olympics.
• In February 2016, KT collaborated with Ericsson and managed to transmit data at the speed of 25.3Gbps by using
mmWave.

Major 5G initiatives and focus
EuropeThe 5G PPP is part of the EU Commission Horizon 2020 programme. With 19 projects involving academic research
centres and industry players, it is expected to foster innovation in Europe.
South KoreaIn South Korea, the 5G mobile strategy was defined as early as January 2014 by the Korean Government (Ministry
of Science, ICT and Future Planning).
2014-2020. 1.6 trillion KRW joint investment from both the Government and the private sector.
JapanThe 5G Mobile Forum (5GMF, www.5gmf.jp) was established late in September 2014. The Radio Policy Vision
Council of the MIC stated that strong cooperation among industries, academia and government was essential for
early realisation of 5G.
USA
February 2014: 5G Americas began work on a technical group project on “promoting Americas leadership in 5G
mobile broadband”.
new network architectures, spectral efficiency improvements, dynamic coordination from Baseband Unit (BBU)
pooling, Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets) and densification (cell splitting).
China
Based on the original IMT-Advanced Promotion Group, the IMT-2020 (5G) Promotion Group was launched by the
Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission and the
Ministry of Science and Technology in February 2013.
The platform’s mission is to promote the development of 5G technologies in China and to facilitate cooperation with
foreign companies and organisations.

5G in Asia
China
• China is running collaborative research programs, which are now starting to become
more accessible for non-Chinese organisations. The main programs are:• IMT-2020 (5G) Promotion Group
• 863 Research Program
• Future Forum
South Korea
• Similar like in Japan 5G activities in Korea are coordinated by 5G Forum, which has
members from industry and the research community. This group has developed rather
detailed technical reports on the 5G system with a focus on radio systems.
• Strong push by the government
• Winter Olympic games in 2018
Japan
• Japan focused 5G activities in The 5G Mobile Communications Promotion Forum
(http://5gmf.jp/en/), which is bringing together industry, standards bodies and the
academic domain. 5GMF developed white papers in particular on the 5G vision.
• 2020 olympics

5G in the Americas: 5G Americas and players’ push
5G activities are mainly undertaken by individual industry companies, industry
associations, and the academic domain
The main activities are on-going at:
• Intel Strategic Research Alliance (ISRA),
• NYU Wireless Research Center [24] mainly dealing with the investigation of millimetre
wave systems
• 4G Americas involves major industries from the US and has produced several white
papers on 5G
• Stepped into pre-standardisation work for 5G very early
• Many white papers published• MBB Evolution towards 5G
• 5G spectrum recommendations
• 5G Technology Evolution Recommendations
FCC quickly identified 5G spectrum
• In July 2016 approved an order making the US the first country in the world to open up
28, 37 & 39 GHz bands for 5G
• 600 MHz band: difficult and expensive process (reverse auction)
• Citizens Broadband Radio service in the 3.5 GHz band as “landmarks in using new
sharing tools to open up more mid-band spectrum.” Wheeler noted that it is
“interesting that this is apparently where Europe sees its 5G developing.”
