DSM Strategy (May 2015) – 3 pillars, 16 actionsPillar 2: Right conditions for networks and servicesAction 6: Review of the telecoms regulatory framework
Ubiquitous high-quality connectivity ! close digital divide – rural/remote regions IoT take-up – connected cars, smart devices
… through investment-friendly regulation promote innovation and a level-playing field
… within a single market dimension EU-wide coherence in spectrum management

• Dedicated licensed spectrum complemented with various forms of shared spectrum
Spectrum: Future Landscape
“Toolbox” of different sharing enablers requiredIn order for 5G system to work under such scenarios

Spectrum Sharing
In the Report from the Commission on the Radio Spectrum Inventory (2014) the Commission "considers that a sustainable way to satisfy spectrum demand in the medium and long term is to invest more time and resources in identifying and developing more sophisticated spectrum sharing concepts", which include
• Licensed Shared Access (LSA) assignment;• Geographical spectrum sharing with devices
linked to geo-location databases; and• Densification, increase in spectrum re-use and
spectrum sharing between operators

• To support the RSPP objective of efficient use of spectrum
• To test the CEPT and ETSI frameworks on spectrum sharing with focus on 2.3-2.4 GHz band (ref: EC Mandate of March 2014)
• To validate the LSA sharing framework for the Italian NRA
• Applicability of LSA approach to other frequency bands ?
• Use cases: Fixed Service; PMSE; Telemetry
LSA Pilot - Objectives

LSA Pilot – System Architecture
European Commission

• Integration of technologies, solutions and devices from various companies
• An international test platform and distributed architecture:
• eNodeB deployment and EPC in Italy
• LTE network controller in Finland
• LSA repository in France
• eNodeBs: Nokia Flexizone pico base stations indoor and outdoor
• 2.3GHz LTE-TDD (B40) and 2.6 GHz LTE-FDD (B7)
• User equipment: Off-the-shelf smartphones
• Potential to test Carrier Aggregation

Conclusions
• Connectivity (Digital Single Market):• High speeds AND full coverage must be achieved
• 5G:• Focus on 'verticals' (new business opportunities)
and not only high speed broadband• Aggregation across bands and types of licensing
are important
• Sharing:• LSA, Network Sharing, Software Defined Radio,
Geolocation Databases, politeness protocols, etc.• Be creative !
