Abstract
5G networks emerge through leverage of unlicensed frequency spectra. A stunning eighty percent of today’s mobile internet data traffic is off-loaded to Wi-Fi, which in turn is largely backhauled by copper or fiber access technologies. Successful fifth-generation networks will be based on a convergence of mobile and fixed technologies through this Wi-Fi hybrid of mobile and fixed access. This creates very important and technically exciting challenges for dynamic managing/optimizing space, time, and frequency dimensions for cost-effective delivery of all services with acceptable quality, across both Wi-Fi and 5G LTE. This talk will examine these trends and explore technological evolutionary steps and challenges that may well define the true emergency of high-speed internet connectivity reliably to all future internet data consumers.

Abstract
C-V2X communication is the state-of-the-art, high-speed cellular communications platform that enables vehicles to communicate with one another, with roadside infrastructure, with other road users (such as pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists) using either direct short-range communications or cellular networks. While C-V2X network-based solutions are already widely deployed, direct communication solutions will be commercially available as of this year. As such the C-V2X platform delivers safety, mobility, traffic efficiency, and environmental benefits. C-V2X is designed with an evolutionary path to 5G and supports safe and efficient operations of autonomous vehicles.
The presentation gives insights into various examples of C-V2X applications for the next generation of connected mobility for advanced driving and automated vehicle solutions.

Abstract
As we see 5G unfold, expectations on the economic and societal impact are very high. Many new opportunities shall emerge for new business opportunities. Besides Gb/s data rates, the Tactile Internet being the most highlighted promise of 5G, enabling remote control applications over cellular. We shall review opportunities and their technical requirements. This helps to build an understanding to detect missing pieces.
1G was a great step creating the vision of ubiquitous voice telephony, but we needed 2G to deliver (like international roaming). 3G was a great step towards ubiquitous cellular data, but we needed 4G to fix the challenges. 5G will be an infliction point in bringing cellular to new applications. However, do we need to use the 5G system to understand what is really needed, and have to wait for 6G as a fix? And is this fix required to make the Tactile Internet a reality?

Abstract
First 5G networks are launched – mission accomplished?
While the commercial launch of the first 5G networks is a significant mile-stone it merely represents the completion of the basement of the 5G House, and that house will only be complete when the full 5G vision has turned into a reality for all. The 5G vision, capabilities, target architecture and transformational properties are well understood in the community of networks and communication professionals. So, in this key note provide an overview on key initiatives the industry engages on to complete the 5G House. Standardization and Industry Initiatives often are tightly linked to prior work as done in funded research. Hence a broad landscape overview of the standard and Industry Initiatives is highly relevant for EuCNC conference. We will cover three main dimensions:
1 – Toward a full 5G standard with all enabling capabilities
By mid-2019, the second phase of 5G standard is fully worked on with 3GPP Rel 16, the evaluation of IMT-2020 is ongoing in the ITU-R. The further priorities of the next 5G Release (3GPP Rel 17) are also take shape. Even certain key enhancements for subsequent releases are clear. We give an overview of that work program highlighting key work items which complement 5G vision capabilities.
2 – Transformation toward open, agile and fully automated network
The promise of 5G will only be realized with open, agile and fully automated networks. Starting with the virtualization of network functions some years ago, several key initiatives have been undertaken in Industry standard and open source projects to address various aspect of opening the network as well as to automate its operation, such as ONAP, O-RAN, ZSM, only to name a few. We highlight which problems these initiatives are solving and how, the relationship among them as well as their status and program ahead.
3 – Beyond telecom ecosystem
One defining characteristic of 5G is the ubiquity of relevance beyond the direct telco sector. That has led to numerous activities to collaborate with different such sectors, understand the requirements and make sure the technology will finally address their needs. There are initiatives around automotive and autonomous mobility (5GAA), Public Safety (TCCA BIG) and more. Further there are groups working on 5G for satellite links, use in future railway systems, as a means to deliver terrestrial broadcast and more. Addressing the needs of Connected Industries and Automation for 5G enabled Industry 4.has lead to the creation of the 5G-ACIA (Alliance for Connected Industries and Automation). As 5G enabled Industrial IoT will represent one of the largest opportunities we will elaborate on this further.
