IEEE 802.11 in 5G

‘5G’ means 5th Generation Mobile Networks not 5 GHz!

Introduction
• Discussions about 5th Generation Mobile Networks have reached significant intensity in industry, academia and among mobile operators.
• There is no common understanding what ‘5G’ means.– All agree that there is no agreement what 5G will be.
• A major source of current thinking might be the NGMN 5G White Paper by NGMN Alliance (February 2015)

From the NGMN Alliance 5G whitepaper:

NGMN Alliance thoughts on 5G interface options
• Option 1 has minimal impact to exisiting RATs but limitations to introduce full 5G performance services
• Option 2 allows for full evolution of network services for 5G but requires new interfacing with EPC and Fixed/Wi-Fi
• Option 3 would be the most comprehensive approach by integrating LTE, 5G and Fixed/Wi-Fi but has manifold implications.– NGMN mandates further research into Option 3 before drawing conclusions.
• BTW: Currently it looks like, that initially 5G will be introduced with Option 1 and evolves in a later release into Option 2.

IEEE 802.11 in 5G discussions
• IEEE 802.11 is present but not a focus topic– 5G is mainly about a new 3GPP radio interface and its integration
with LTE
• Integration models for IEEE 802.11 mainly based on current 3GPP approaches– S2a/TWAG– LWA
• No signs of more revolutionary discussions of integration of IEEE 802.11 in mobile networks– Option 3 like approaches did generally not find much support in
industry

Conclusion
• There are enormous efforts behind ‘5G’.
• Definition of ‘5G’ is still vague and not settled yet.
• It is expected that there will be standardization of a new 3GPP radio interface for ultra dense deployments with commercialization starting around 2020.
• IEEE 802.11 integration into ‘5G’ seems to adopt current 3GPP models for LTE.
