5G Introduction
5G Market Activity
5G Technologies
Drivers For Next Generation (5G)
Growing Population
Hyper Connectivity
Limited Resources
Higher Capacity
Green Technology
Cost Efficiency
Quality of Experience
Number of connections and also the volume of data over wireless networks continuously growing at a significant rate
Users more demanding on quality & price
Capacity challenge is real particularly in radio
Radio spectrum the blood line of wireless is a finite resources, scarce and expensive
The data volume growth will continue but dependent on the service quality offered by the NW and of course the data tariffs
Sustainability of mobile broadband business - Ever increasing
traffic, higher TCO and flattening ARPU
3G & 4G both promised improvements in NW capacity, data rate, efficiency, cost and quality. 5G will be no exception but the sheer
scale of the challenges this time makes 5G research different.

Values subject to assumption
Modest increase in number of devices and usage
Traffic growth: ~70% CAGR
In 2020 depending on the environment
traffic per km2 (1.5 to 60 Gb/s/km2)
UK needs at least ~ 15 - 20 x capacity (2013-2020)
Current LTE technology will not accommodate the predicted traffic growth
The next generation will need to be designed not for 2020 but for 2025-2030 capacity

Significant air interface capacity - Focus on area NOT JUST link spectral efficiency - Designed for small Cells (capacity), extended to coverage - More spectrum (Licensed & unlicensed operation, spectrum sharing & other sources)
Super low latency - Sub 1 ms, TTI: 10-25 ms - Faster signaling for higher data rate, in line with data rate - U plan latency: frame structure, control signal timing, HARQ - For new services (MTC, gaming, ….) - For distributed control
Super reliable - For new services and applications - Smart transport, e-health, intelligent control, …
The higher capacity and lower latency necessary for wide range of services BUT not all the services required in the same location, at the same time nor by the same air interface
May need tradeoffs in capacity, coverage and data rate

Greener Telecom
Lower CTO
Greener technology (energy efficiency) - Current 2% ICT share of CO2 emission is likely to increase - Power consumption doubled in past 5 years - More power efficient HW & SW, needed - Reducing signaling through intelligent O&M and SON - Alternative energy sources
Reduced Total Cost of Ownership - For x1000 need to achieve 1/1000 delivery cost per bit!? - Deliver cost will need to be recalculated as cost per bit/km2 - Saving through energy consumption - Saving through lower cost of operation (Plug & Play, Self managed NW, Zero touch)
- Spectrum and infrastructure sharing - Longer HW life cycle time - New business models -> new revenue models

- Designed for small cells - A more suitable MAC protocol for small cell - Much higher energy efficient
- Enable new services - Scalable for various traffic requirements - AND more!

• 5G will consist of a combination of techniques
• Much denser network and small cells will be a key part of 5G design
• Spectrum remains a challenge for the wireless industry; spectrum sharing will be critical in 5G
• A greater degree of network sharing may be needed
• 5G success depends rethinking business models, policies and economics of radio spectrum regulation
