5G?

5G Use Cases

5G and V2X are very different things, so we are actually comparing apples and oranges. Many people confuse V2X with technology, V2X is not a technology, they are use cases for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P), vehicle-to-X (where X can be anything), it depends on what technology we use

Policy Issues for Mobile Policy Consideration Policy Issues for Mobile Minimise regulatory burden – maximise opportunity Focus on infrastructure policy settings – eg network deployment regulation and spectrum policy “The allocation of spectrum will be one issue that could constrain or reduce the future economic value of mobile broadband.”

Regulatory Consideration Focus on the desired outcome—that is, delivery of mobile broadband services enabled by mobile broadband capacity, with provision of spectrum being one of several inputs to delivering this outcome Seek to provide the right spectrum at the right time to address the growth in demand for mobile broadband capacity

Spectrum Review What does reform look like? Transparency - providing a clear and transparent policy framework Efficiency - promoting efficient allocation and use of spectrum Flexibility - ensuring arrangements are as flexible as possible to promote choice and innovation Certainty - providing confidence about regulatory arrangements and spectrum access terms and conditions and promote international harmonisation in Australia’s interests Simplicity - creating a framework that is simpler, easier to understand and uses the least cost regulation required to achieve the objective The proposed reform approach is to restructure and rationalise the legislative framework to: provide for greater market-based activity simplify regulatory structures and streamline regulatory processes

New Framework thinking Proactive approach – early response to market signals in consultation with industry – ongoing dialogue Simultaneous planning – domestic and regional / international Develop ability to prioritise spectrum flow of spectrum to market Work with industry to understand complexities of dealing with demand Future will rely on flexibility and agility – keep options open Influencing and leading – spectrum and innovation

The road ahead: 5G 5G network architecture 5G use case examples Shift in focus from technology to use cases (e.g. ‘Network Slicing’) 5G use case examples ‘Extreme’ mobile broadband incl. 4K video and Virtual Reality—low latency, very high bandwidth Massive sensor networks—low latency, narrow bandwidth, low power consumption, massive number of connections Autonomous driving—ultra-reliable and low latency comms required 5G standardisation well advanced 5G trials Partnerships between carriers and vendors testing 5G prototype systems capable of tens of gigabits per second throughput, and featuring Multi-User MIMO, Massive MIMO and beam-forming, along with new modulation techniques -> early LAUNCHES

The road ahead: IoT IoT a major driver of 5G…. 5G a major enabler of IoT Key spectrum for IoT Typical use of existing proprietary standalone networks is in class-licensed ISM bands Some IoT techs will be able to operate in licensed GSM & LTE bands 5G spectrum above 6 GHz may be used for future IoT IoT standardisation 3GPP developing specifications for three main technologies: LTE-M, NB-IoT, EC-GSM-IoT

Continued Evolution of 4G 5G is not the only next step Mobile communications services will continue to improve between now and commercialisation of 5G (anticipated for 2020) ‘4.5G’ and ‘1 Gbps LTE’ Coverage and performance of 4G networks are being improved through incremental upgrades under LTE-Advanced standard: Carrier Aggregation MIMO Higher-order modulation schemes

ITU News Last Night 5G trials: Orange and vendor partners have published details of a 5G fixed wireless access (FWA) trial in Romania to demonstrate how 5G can complement existing fibre deployments to deliver high-quality and high-speed bandwidth services. Meanwhile, KDDI and China Mobile are testing two radical new 5G use cases for broadcasters.

Africa – SADC Initiative is missing

Conclusion & Takeaways 5G race is still going on, Commercial deployment of 5G systems is expected I towards 2020 and + Field trials planned started last year in 2017 onwards, not yet based on commercial products. 5G will provide at least a ten-fold improvement in user experience compared to 4G in terms of peak data rates and minimal latency 5G will deliver an ecosystem for sustainable technical and business innovation 5G will support multi tenancy and network resource slicing models, New architectures will be used (using Likely many of the generalized concepts –SDR, CR, SDN, NFV, … ) 5G will be designed to be a sustainable and scalable technology 5G spectrum and Bands not yet finalized

NOW Final thought “As a region lets do something on 5G.” e.g Develop a SADC 5G Policy Paper and 5G Action Plan
