PANEL 1

On the 5G research, innovation and collaboration frameworks looking at a global agreement:

A global perspective of the business priorities, opportunities, fundamental challenges, key enabling technologies and instruments for making the Advanced 5G Infrastructure a reality with the maximal level of stakeholders’ consensus.

  • Tuesday, 24 June 2014, 14:45-16:15, Room Europa

 

Motivation and Background:

Several initiatives on 5G are currently ongoing globally, namely: 5GPPP in Europe, 863 in China, 5G IC in the UK, Korea, Japan, etc. This panel aims at addressing the fundamental business aspects and benefits for a global adoption and market uptake of 5G technologies, thus enabling a sustainable business ecosystem in the future. The speakers from different regions will present their views on the business viability of 5G Networks and Services, opportunities offered by international collaboration between ongoing research and innovation frameworks, what needs to be necessarily regulated, standardized, and provide answers to some of the following fundamental questions. Beyond this, the distinguished speakers will address the main obstacles and barriers to meet current and future wide range of requirements, such as: "Verticals" needs; true ubiquitous "ABC" access; restless pressure on bandwidth; spectrum crunch; complex traffic – usage patterns; cloud computing reshaping the networks; complex/common management; security; energy consumption, etc. Last, but not least, the panellists will share their views on the new technology enablers of the advance 5G infrastructure, beyond the scope of current standardization working items, to support the following requirements, but not limited to: 1) D2X and M2X communications; 2) 1000 times wireless area capacity with wider varied service capabilities; 3) Saving up to 90% of energy per service provided; 4) Reducing service creation time from 90 h to 90 min on average; 5) Very dense deployments; 6) Secure, reliable and dependable Internet with a “zero perceived” downtime for services provision.

 

Questions:

  1. What are the new market opportunities and business models of 5G?
  2. How to ensure coordinated regulatory and standardization activities globally?
  3. What would be the competitive industrial offers for 5G systems and technologies?
  4. What are the new economically-viable services of high societal value (e.g. U-HDTV and M2M applications)?
  5. How to cope with the fundamental technical challenges and what are the corresponding key enabling technologies?
