7. 5G Use Cases

8. 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

10. 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.”

11. 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

12. 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

13. 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

14. 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

15. 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

16. 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

17. 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.

18. Africa – SADC Initiative is missing

19. Conclusion & Takeaways
5G race is still going on, Commercial deployment of 5G systems is expected I towards 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

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