2. 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)

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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
