E-health** 10-100 Mbps Depending on the specific

implementation

AAL applications** 10-100 Mbps Depending on the specific

Service Capacity demand Comment

Music upload 1-2 Mbps

E-mail 1-10 Mbps Depending on

attached file size

Sociale networks 1-10 Mbps Depending on the level

of file sharing and a

possible video

component

Cloud drev 10-100 Mbps Access to upload of

documents incl

pictures and video

Home office 10-100 Mbps Work from home being

able to uploade/send

heavy documents

File sharing/upload 10-100 Mbps Share documents,

pictures, movies. The

capacity demand

depends on file sizes

AAL applications 1 Mbps

1-3 Mbps

Home surveillance 2 Mbps

E-learning 2-10 Mbps High quality video and

upload of heavy files

demand the high

capacity

E-health/ user 2-10 Mbps The high capcity is

assumed for use of

high quality video and

file upload

E-sundhed/ supplier 10-100 Mbps Could be a health

clinic

E-shopping 2-10 Mbps The high capcity is

based on use of high

quality video

compnents

Family – Very high usage A need of approx. 40-130 Mbps capacity downstream and 10

Mbps upstream

Family – average Need for approx. 30-70 Mbps downstream and 10 Mbps

upstream

Elderly couple Need for på 20 – 100 Mbps downstream and 10 Mbps

upstream

SME’s E-learning supplier:

100 Mbps symmetrical connection Agriculture

Need for limited downstream capacity, but for a rather highupstream capacity

Construction industry - Architect

3D models of buildings etc. Even a capacity of 100 Mbpssymmetrical might be at the lower end of the capacity need

WWRF: Mobile is The Future

• Wireless device(s) becomes our interface to thedigital world

• An ambient life style where

• ... our mobile device becomes the key enabler tointeract with smart environments and users

• … our mobile guides and supports us against“digital threats”

• Ubiquitous service delivery with a consistentuser experience

WWRF Vision: 7 trillion wireless devicesserving 7 billion people by 2020

• Everybody will be served with wireless devices• Affordable to purchase and operate• Calm computing: technology invisible to users• Machine to machine communications

Sensors and tags: e.g. in transport and weather systems,infrastructure, to provide ambient intelligence and contextsensitivity

• All devices are part of the (mobile) internet

• New type of services:• Data exchange ‘x 1000’• Latency : ‘LTE x 10-100’

Spectrum Demand

A Fellow of WWRF

Challenges to the ‘G-path’ structure

Centralised design does not allow for flexible topologyreconfiguration and efficient spectrum resourceutilisation

Monolithic radio access and protocol architecturesassumes identical needs/ usage frequency bands are pre-allocated without consideration for

the spectrum utilisation degree

15

Two views of ‘the way ahead’ – ‘5G’

Evolutionary or ‘break away’/ disruptive

The evolutionary view (4.x):‘beyond 4G’ systems will support a highly flexible network such as aDynamic Adhoc Wireless Network (DAWN).

Intelligent antenna and flexible modulation are key technologies

The ‘break away’ view:

The New System should be an intelligent technology capableof interconnecting devices & places ‘without limits’.

An example application: a robot with communicatingdirectly with human nervous reactions

16

The break-away path forward

Communication will seamlessly bridge the virtual andphysical worlds offering the same level of all-senses,context-based, rich experience

The systems will offer human-centric ubiquitous terabitwireless connectivity

17

A New wireless scenario

The architecture will support autonomic behavior

Wireless autonomic object will communicate together andthe network and organize themselves in a ‘large’ context

…..

The break-away 5G vision

5G is the communications system that can finally achievewhat has long been promised - anyone anywhere can getin touch with whoever or whatever.

The challenge is no longer transfer capacity measured asbits / second

The focus will be on efficiently delivery in terms of servicesand experiences.

Frequency effectiveness must be ensured by cognitive,intelligent services, advanced search techniques in 'bigdata' and adaptive networks with heterogeneous accessdepending on location and usage profile.

The experience-oriented services will include that we areinformed what we need, when we need it - without delayand with assistance to find what is relevant.

This leads to a modular, non-monolitic system

22

The EU activities

EU officials has announced: EU wants 5G to be aEurope-led affair after Asia and North America tookcenter stage on 4G.

(Feb. 2013)

Two main instruments:

Targetted 5 G activities, METIS (FP7)

Horizon 2020

METIS

Priorities remain to be seen

Still to be firmed up:The WP expected announced 11 December525 Billion DKK

VERDIKT in the 5G landscape

Overall aim: Produce ICT-competance & value at a global level

- Competance building

- Knowledge building

- Innovation

In line with Horizon2020!

Hardly any direct impact or implications for 5G, butinternationalization via incresed publication & networking

& increased multidisciplinarity opening for future research

- Also at Nordic level even if has not been important/ a criteria(?)

27

ChallengesEconomy of scale – lost out on 3G/ 4GDistance to “main Europe”

There could be role, based on

The modular build up/ development

The Nordic structure/ track record

It demands collaboration & funding

VERDIKT is over

There are ‘catalogues’ in the other countries, e.g. INNO+

There relevant ICT environments in all the Nordic countries

There is a need for a funding program – if… - New VERDIKT
