Abstract
5G will be a platform for innovation, which allows others to innovate and apply 5G to improve life, business and our society. It will support all industry sectors, every vertical, every human, every machine and every thing. This results in challenging requirements in terms of higher system capacity, very low latency, e.g. for the tactile Internet, very high throughput values, a high diversity of services including IoT, M2M and a more consistent experience. The 5G architecture will integrate novel and legacy technologies by means of Hetnet RAN, Cloud enhanced RAN and SW defined data centers as a symbiotic convergence of new and existing technologies. Therefore, 5G will combine next generation a wide area scalable service experience anytime and everywhere with ultra dense deployments and nearly zero latency and GB experience – when and where it matters. Collaboration with the IT/Internet world, industry verticals, policy makers and academia on research, standardization and spectrum allocation will be a key success factor.
