Network will no longer be just a “Connectivity Layer”

It will be a “Platform for Digital Society”

Emergence of“New Business Models

& Cross Industry partnerships”

5G will enable“New Use cases”

5G - What it means to telecom industry…

• Connect Billions of Devices

• Delivered at fraction of cost

• Huge volume of traffic

• Real-time service

• Elastic Network

• Agile & Secure Network

How network will be different with5G…

Radio Core Transport

• Use of spectral efficient technologies such as ma-MIMO

• Dense, distributed network of base stations in the small cell infrastructure

• Massively scalable,highlyreliable & automated

• Common cloud, generic VNF-M lifecycle managingIT & NW applications

• NW slicing, e2e orchestration, cataloguebased Provisioning

High speed(>1 Gbps), Low power, Low latency (<5 ms)

• Automation, intent based provisioning, changemanagement synchronized across layers & vendors

• Simplified, Service Aware (enabled by SDN), Segment routing

Readiness by embedding key 5G technologies in 4G+ deployments

5

• Massive MIMO – largest deployment of ma-MIMO in India (2nd largest in the world)

• Cloud - Early move to Cloud, for key NW applications, embedding agility and efficiencyadvantage. Largest edge cloud locations in India.

• Automation - Analytics enabled fabric design, efficient, automated

• Local Caching , Hyper-scale Transport Architecture - Deploying the TX and core network inline with the 5G design principles.

5G India 2020 Vision & Mission

5G India 2020 VISION:• 5G will be USED in INDIA to enable the DIGITAL India, SMART Cities & SMART Village missions for

India.• Leveraging the MAKE in INDIA and Start-Up India missions, India will emerge as a global player actively

engaged in the Design, Development and Manufacturing of 5G based technology and products.

5G India 2020 Mission:• To accelerate deployment of next generation ubiquitous ultra-high broadband infrastructure with

100% coverage of 10 Gbps across urban India and 1 Gbps across Rural India• To ensure proliferation of affordable 5G services and technologies across all sectors (eg. healthcare,

education, transport, utilities, manufacturing) across the nation hence enabling an inclusive knowledge society

• To reposition the mobile broadband device complemented by IoT sensors and M2M technologies as an instrument of socio-economic empowerment of citizens and rapid economic development

• To promote Research and Development in 5G technology, products and services• To promote development of 5G standards, generation of IPR and Global Contribution

Use of 5G in India

• 5G is going to be the core technology to enable the digital transformationof India.

• The three broad use cases of IMT 2020 or 5G are:– Enhanced Mobile Broadband(eMBB)– Massive Machine Type communication (MMTC)– Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication (uRLLC)

• These broad use cases can be used to provide different types of services inIndia for example rural broadband, enhanced broadband in urban areas,enabling smart cities through support for IOT, enabling criticalcommunication through support for ultra reliable low latencycommunication.

Mobile broadband - eMBB

• Providing connectivity and internet services in rural India– Fixed Wireless Access (FWA)– One of the test configurations in rural eMBB is LMLC

or Low Mobility Large Cell.– 5G technologies that support eMBB can be used to

provide high speed data service in a hotspot i.e. village community centre.

Massive Machine Type Communication

• MMTC can be extended to all public utility services.

• Use of MMTC can help in providing smart power supply to remote and rural areas through remote monitoring, detection and correction of faults etc.

• MMTC can be used to improve various aspects of traffic management through implementation of Intelligent Transportation System.

• This can be used to track containers (carrying grains etc.), fleet management from the villages to the town or depot for the benefit of the farmers through live tracking etc. which provides more control and features for optimisation.

Ultra Reliable Low Latency communication

• Connected Cars: URLLC can be used to support connected cars for example for vehicle-to-vehicle coordination and traffic control.

• E-Health: It can be used to provide e-health through remote diagnostics and remote surgery through tactile internet. This will enable healthcare in remote and rural areas.

: Use Case

1. Mission critical services (Ultra reliable & low latency communication) Industrial Automation, e-health, hazardous environments, rescue missions, etc. Self-driving vehicles Drones Vehicular communication (V2V, V2I, V2P) Remote Machinery Control

2. Massive Machine type communication / Massive IoT Smart home Smart city Smart Transport

3. Enhanced Mobile broadband UHD video (4K, 8K) 3D video Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Tactile Internet, Cloud gaming, Broadband kiosks, Real time simulation & training Remote class room, Hologram AI Home Gadgets

1. Dual Connectivity (EN-DC)

• LTE for voice and NR as data booster

3GPP Option 3

• NR for data, but falling back to LTE (for voice and data) when making or receiving calls

• 2 variants: Release with Redirect, Handover

• EPC and 5GC with N26 interworking and IP address preservation in 5GC
