Experiences

5G & Verticals

Many of today’s societal challenges can be addressed through vertical solutions:

– Aging population’s health care needs

– Smart traffic routing for connected cars, pollution monitoring in our cities

– Energy usage optimisation in offices and homes

– Enhanced media & entertainment (M&E) experience

Such massive connectivity (50Bn devices by 2020), needs an architecture supporting ultra

low latency, high bandwidth platforms.

mmWave Communications for 5G

5G services will require Gbps data rates and

will consume Exa Bytes of data per month.

Also there will be much tighter requirements

on latency, service reliability etc., which can

be supported by wider bandwidths.

However, the sub-6GHz spectrum is already heavily utilized.

The mm-wave spectrum (denoted as 6-100GHz) offers much wider

bandwidths for mobile services, albeit to use in a co-primary basis.

5G/mmWave at the Service of Verticals

High bandwidth for automotive infotainment applications

Immersive applications needing Gbps data rates (like UHD video)

Virtual reality/Gaming applications needing very high data rates and

ultra low latencies

IoT applications needing massive connectivity and ultra low latency.

Mission critical applications (industry automation, connected cars

etc.) needing ultra high reliability and low latencies

Most of these applications can benefit from mm-wave

communications:– Utilize the wider bandwidths for provision of higher data rate, lower latency and higher

reliability KPIs.

– The IoT sensors and nodes are mostly in close proximity, within range for mm-wave

– The high path loss in fact makes higher spatial re-use possible.

Automotive & 5G/mmWave

Extreme throughput, low latency, and enhanced reliability of 5G will

allow vehicles to share rich, real-time data, supporting fully

autonomous driving experience

– By sharing raw sensor data, it becomes possible to implement adaptive platooning

or even cloud-driven, fully automated driving (if processing can be done in an edge

cloud to have acceptable latency)

– Joint implementation of mmWave radar and communication systems possible

‘Potential applications for 63-64 GHz band’: currently an agenda item

in ETSI ITS WG1 (Applications and services) in preparation to Release

2 of the standard

The entertainment will be driven to a new

level by the virtual reality experiences:

– Sports fans will get immersive experience

from their favourite players’ view points.

– Tourists can immerse themselves to select

their destinations, interact with landmarks, etc.

Their will be other immersive applications beyond entertainment:

– Doctors will be able to carry out remote surgery’s with real time, immersive vision.

– Robots can be guided to carry out hazardous tasks (eg: nuclear incident) by remote controllers with

real time, immersive vision and sense from robots.

Mm-wave communications at the RAN are ideally poised to support such

immersive experiences:

– The wider bandwidths can provide extreme data rates and ultra low latencies.

– Higher path loss enables higher spatial re-use in dense crowds (like in a stadium).

5G-PPP: mmMAGIC & mmMAGIC-II

Research on mmWave within 5G has been championed in Europe by Samsung UK with

flagship 5GPPP projects, paving the ground for deployments by 2020 or before

mmMAGIC (5GPPP Phase 1)

– Main objective is to develop and design new concepts for mobile radio access technology (RAT) for

deployment in the 6-100 GHz range including architectural enablers, waveform, frame structure and

numerology, beam-forming and tracking techniques.

– €8M; 19 partners including Samsung, Orange, Ericsson, Nokia, Huawei, Telefonica, etc.

Coordination of mmMAGIC-II (submitted for 5GPPP Phase 2)

– Continuation of mmMAGIC with a special focus on verticals and PoCs

– If granted, would run during 7/17 – 6/19

– 18 partners
