What is the RAS cluster ?


• Radio Access and Spectrum (RAS) is a cluster activity comprising a portfolio of more than 20 research projects co-funded by the European Comisssion and investigating Radio Access and Spectrum aspects of future wireless networks.

• Objectives of the RAS cluster to:– Boost the project’s impact beyond what the project can achieve

alone;– Enhance the project cooperation activities, share best practices and

opportunities for (pre-) standardization, dissemination and exploitation;

– Produce documents that presents a common European view on Radio Access and Spectrum challenges and innovative solutions;

– Enable liaison between research and the spectrum policy and regulatory units;

5G

• Traffic offloading• Infrastructure sharing• C-RAN, Virtualization • Low energy consumption • Video broadcasting• New business models and services …


Potential time frame for 5G

• Timing is key: careful alignment is needed between research and standardization timelines


Workshop

Radio Access and Spectrum innovations for 5G


• Thirteen EU funded research projects will present intermediate results that are in the “ignition phase" of the 5G European initiative in H2020.

• Session 1: High capacity PHY for 5G• Session 2: Novel networks architecture for 5G• Invited speakers

– 15h45-16h10 Alexander Gulyaev, ECO CEPT “Report on the WRC15 preparation work concerning additional spectrum allocation for IMT”

– 16h10-16h30 Dionysia Triantafyllopoulou , University of Surrey, “The 5G Innovation Centre in Surrey-UK and the role of experimental research for 5G”

– 16h30-17h00 Douglas C. Sicker, University of Colorado (Former CTO of FCC and NTIA), “Reform of Radio Spectrum Management in the US”

• The panel will discuss the key RAN technology enablers for 5G that should drive the European wireless sector.
