Three strategic topics Strategic Topic #1: Critical Communications and public safety​ (12 presentations) Strategic Topic #2: IoT (includes M2M, smart cities, smart cars) New discussion format tried: “World Café” (small discussion groups, town-hall discussion, no presentations) Strategic Topic #3: IMT-2020/5G (covers spectrum topics and network architecture, also Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV)) (11 presentations)

Critical Comms and Public Safety Focus on public safety Many GSC members desire global set of common public safety specs in 3GPP Interoperability between LMR (Land Mobile Radio) systems and LTE (Long Term Evolution) broadband systems is critical Many GSC Members indicated a desire for a global and common spectrum for public safety Critical Comms community was encouraged to provide input to 5G requirements

IoT (includes M2M, smart cities, smart) New discussion format tried: “World café” style in a room with tables of 8 and assigned seating to ensure that delegates mingle; discussions on tables of 8, then key summary shared and collected by facilitator Among questions debated: Complexity of today’s IoT standardization landscape: too many, too few initiatives? Overlaps? Gaps? Why? Alternatives? What role can GSC and GSC members play to get closer to other domains (“sectors”, “verticals”)? Try to identify some potential and high level actions

Collaboration on IMT-2020/5G (spectrum, network architecture, NFV) Collaboration proposals for spectrum aspects Share study results Support national/regional activities for WRC-15/19 Provide common views to regulators Frequency sharing studies needed Radio propagation measurements and channel modeling for > 6 GHz needed Collaboration proposals for network aspects To have opportunities for multilateral communication for network technologies Support industry gap analysis sharing inputs form relevant SDOs
