4. IEEE 5G Goals Build a vibrant 5G community
Identify standardization opportunities and standardization gaps related to 5G
Develop 5G products: Conferences, Publications, Education, Training, Testbeds
Leverage IEEE’s value and platform for 5G industry-wide consensus development
Facilitate the development of 5G technical architectures
Develop the future roadmap
Lead and facilitate the 5G Technical Community

5. IEEE 5G Initiative - Tracks
The “IEEE 5G Initiative” working groups:
Education
Publications
Web Portal
Conferences
Standards / Roadmaps
Content Development
Community Development
Industry Outreach

6. The IEEE 5G Roadmap Project
Four areas are identified as priorities:
Standardization Building Blocks
Millimetre Wave
Mobile Edge Cloud
Massive MIMO
Other potential topics:
NFV
Applications Services
Security

7. Mission of the IEEE 5G Roadmap
Identify short/mid/long-term research, innovation and technology trends in the communications ecosystem.
Enabling the development of a concrete innovation and engagement roadmap guiding the IEEE community towards maximum impact contributions across its societies, and in conjunction with its demand-side as well as the wider industry & standards ecosystem.

8. Standardization Building Blocks
Lead: Paul Nikolich
Compile standards projects that relate to 5G
Roadmap will capture scope, purpose, and market potential, starting with 802
Standards will be grouped by application:
Enhanced mobile broadband
Massive machine type communications
Ultra-reliable and low latency communications
Data will be incorporated into Roadmap
live document (updated annually and be developed in conjunction with the other working groups)
