What is the motivation for 5G?
1. The primary motivation for 5G is the apparently endless exponential growth in demand for wireless data services
2. In addition there is an emerging set of demands based on the unique attributes of machine-type communications (MTC) for the internet of things (IoT) which is predicted to reach tens of billions of devices by 2020
3. There is also growing awareness of the need for energy efficiency and cost savings

Performance vs.
availability, cost and
efficiency
The emerging
demands on 5G are
far more
comprehensive than
previous generations
It is very clear that
some fo the desirable
attributes are mutually
exclusive. This leads
to an assumption that
the needs of 5G
cannot be met by one
single solution

In the early debate on
5G some targets for
attributes associated
with high performance
have been proposed.
What follows are the
consequences on the
attributes of
availability, cost and
efficiency using
today’s technology

Setting the 5G agenda The role of the ITU
• If the industry were left alone, two possibilities might emerge:
• LTE would continue to evolve with an ever-increasing list of incremental
developments with the risk of creating a complex infrastructure with a
fragmented market
• The conflicting demands on 5G might lead to a never-ending debate or,
national or regional solutions that risk market fragmentation
• For 5G to be successful it needs to have a clear focus and timeline – this
should be the role of the ITU in the successor to the IMT-2000 and IMT-
Advanced programs

Setting the 5G agenda: 5G Timing
• There is a general recognition that 5G is targeting commercial deployment beyond 2020
• There are also national / regional pressures to demonstrate capability for flagship events such as the Korean 2018 Winter Olympics and the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics
• That said, if the timescales of previous generations which had much simpler objectives were to be repeated, then commercial launch in 2020 is a seriously aggressive goal
• However, for the time being, 2020 is the date motivating 5G research
24
Page
5G solution proposals
• There are many potential solutions proposed for 5G, but given the primary desire for orders of magnitude of change in performance, cost etc. most of the marginal ideas can be discounted
• Only the solutions that truly could make a huge difference need to be
considered, the rest can be left to the ongoing evolution of legacy systems

A simple wireless capacity model
The capacity of a system to deliver services is defined by three main factors:
• The bandwidth of the available radio spectrum – in MHz
• The efficient use of that spectrum – bits / second / hertz
• The number of cells – this equates to spectrum reuse
Number of cells

But with potential for mmWave deployment, the available spectrum
might rise from a typical 500 MHz per region to many GHz
28
Page
5G Technical Assumptions
• Use of mmWave frequencies 10G-50GHz, 60 GHz, possibly 70-80 GHz.
• Wider bandwidths: 500MHz to 3GHz (below 50 GHz) • New antenna technologies
• Steerable Array antennas (dynamic beam forming patterns)
• Massive MIMO (e.g. 100-1000 low-power antennas per BTS
• Will require significantly more (low cost) backhaul capacity (400 Gb/s)
• Very low round-trip latency requirements • Affects all elements of the network
• Higher Frequencies and Higher Densities will dictate small cells • Software defined radio • Software defined network
29
Page
5G Technical Assumptions
New air interfaces
• Move towards more cognitive designs to take advantage of spectrum sharing: a hybrid
of cellular mobility and Wi-Fi ad hoc co-existence
• New modulation formats
• Full duplex transmission
Interop and integration with multiple RAT’s including unlicensed
• Significant impact on the network (e.g. control channel on low band for coverage)
• Role of 802.11ad as it evolves between now and 2020 into 802.11ax

Six predictions for wireless broadband 2020
1. No new worldwide allocations of mmWave spectrum
2. Cellular will extend into the ISM band at 60 GHz (Unlicensed access)
3. The importance of UE antennas will finally be recognized
4. WLAN will become an equal partner with cellular
5. Without technical breakthrough, the operator business case will not support a massive expansion in capacity
6. The success of 802.11ad will determine the likelihood of cellular at mmWave frequencies
31
Page
1. No new worldwide allocations of mmWave spectrum
• One of the yet to be addressed challenges for 5G is where potential mmWave spectrum might be found
• The last time the ITU Worlds Radio Council allocated spectrum for wireless communications was 2007, there was no debate at WRC 2012.
• In 2015 there is an agenda item for communications below 6 GHz but no guarantee for any new allocations
• There is not yet an agenda item agreed for WRC 2018/9 to discuss potential mmWave allocations
• Existing spectrum holders from military, Broadcast, Satellite industries are acting together to prevent further release to mobile broadband
32
Page
2. Cellular will extend into the ISM band at 60 GHz (Unlicensed access)
• Release 13 will study the operation of LTE in unlicensed spectrum (LTE-U) - in particular the 5 GHz ISM band used for WLAN
• This is to enable operators to offload traffic to LTE femtocells without having to implement WLAN thus avoiding inter-RAT challenges
• Proposals are controversial since standard LTE interferes with WLAN
• LTE is shown to be more efficient - but WLAN was there first
• Modifications to the LTE air interface are proposed to make co-existence with WLAN more tolerable (e.g. Listen Before Talk – LBT)
• Likely to become the single biggest increase of cellular spectrum (up to 680 MHz in 5 GHz band) since the allocations given at WRC 07.
• If successful at 5 GHz, likely to be extended to the 60 GHz ISM band as the quickest way for 5G to get spectrum
33
Page
5. Without technical breakthrough, the operator business case will not support a massive expansion in capacity
• The predictions for exponential traffic growth assume the provision of the necessary network capacity is affordable
• Current wireless broadband experience is dominated by a lack of investment in current technology rather than a need for new technology
