• Increase in variety of services/applications with diverse QoS requirements
• Rise of the Machine-to-Machine (M2M) services/applications relying on Device-To-Device (D2D) communications
• paving the way to a pervasive Internet of Things
• Increase in global traffic demand • Customer behavior changes linked to social networks and multimedia
services • resulting in “always-on” services/applications

Context and drivers Power and cost efficiency
SHARING
• High power consumption • ICT industry has its share in reducing the power consumption and developing a sustainable and green
industry (energy costs can account for 20-35 % of OPEX!) • Proposed solutions such as network densification, new hardware (e.g. power amplifiers) should be
carefully designed with a power-efficient perspective
Traffic – Revenue decoupling in Mobile Broadband Market
• High deployment and operational costs (CAPEX and OPEX) • substantial loss of profit due to the decoupling of traffic and revenues
• flat prices • need to upgrade the network to meet the increased traffic demand)
• competitive advantage in every bit of OPEX and CAPEX reduction
5
Challenges SHARING
Decrease costs (CAPEX/OPEX) • Decreasing revenues vs. increasing needs for additional sites and bandwidth
Significant capacity increase • need more capacity in urban areas (driven by video applications) • HetNet solutions → interference management
Customer satisfaction through high QoS for all services/applications with diverse requirements
• QoS in multi-layer and multi-RAT environments (including Wi-Fi)
Increase spectrum efficiency
Increase energy efficiency • Radio Frequency (RF) front ends, Power Amplifiers (PAs) for macro cells • ON-OFF / sleep modes for small cells
Efficient solutions to fragmented spectrum • Manage multiple frequency bands (licensed, unlicensed) • SDL (Supplementary Downlink) and Carrier Aggregation (CA) schemes

Background and positioning with respect to 3GPP
• Builds upon previous FP7 projects that ran in parallel with 3GPP LTE-A Rel-10 and Rel-11
• ARTIST4G: Advanced Radio Interface Technologies for 4G Systems • BeFemto: Broadband Evolved Femto Networks
Operators need to achieve a satisfactory return on investment before post-LTE systems will be
deployed
Our conviction is that there is still an important room for
improvements for LTE-A systems
