Abstract:
After a speedy evolution of mobile network and mobile industry from the 1st generation of voice communication to the recent 4th generation of LTE with data communication, 5G is one of the globally hot topics recently. ITU-R, 3GPP and other standard bodies recently started discussion on 5G standards. METIS, 5GPPP, IMT2020PG, Future forum, 5GMF and 5G forum collaborate for their 5G technology leadership. This talk introduces the Networked Society vision realized with 5G technologies. The Networked society will be depicted with the life style change, industry trend and application evolution. In addition, the requirements for Networked Society will be investigated. The 5G technology is described as a supporting technology for the realization of the Networked Society. 5G technology developments are not limited to the wireless communication itself but also network architecture, device, application, management and eco-system. This talk shows the 5G technology evolution status and direction with candidate technologies from the perspective of access/network technology and global harmonization.

Abstract:
The wireless cellular network has been one of the most successful communications technologies of the last three decades. Following the great commercial success of LTE-Advanced as the fourth generation (4G) networks, the research community is now increasingly looking beyond 4G and into future 5G technologies both in standardization body such as 3GPP, and in research projects such as the EU FP7 METIS. While today’s commercial 4G LTE-Advanced networks are mostly deployed in legacy cellular bands up to 3.5 GHz, the mobile industry is looking forward to utilizing any spectrum opportunities below 100 GHz in 5G, including existing cellular bands, new bands below 6 GHz, and new bands above 6 GHz including the so-called mmWave bands. It is expected that decisions for new spectrums below 6 GHz and above 6 GHz would be made in World Radio-communication Conference (WRC)-2015 and in WRC-2019, respectively. From a technology evolution perspective, two parallel paths are expected to take place for evolution towards 5G. The first path is the continued evolution of LTE-Advanced in Rel-13/14 and beyond in a backward compatible manner with the goal of improving system performance in the bands below 6 GHz. The second path is to develop a new RAT which is not limited by backward compatibility requirements and can integrate breakthrough technologies to achieve best possible performance. The “new RAT” track is also expected to have a scalable design that can seamlessly support both above and below 6 GHz bands. This talk will focus on a set of important features of LTE-Advanced that are expected to be specified in 3GPP Rel-13/14. The features that would already be specified in Rel-13 include Full Dimension MIMO (FD-MIMO) for drastic increase of spectral efficiency via use of a large number of antennas at the base station, Licensed Assisted Access (LAA) for utilizing unlicensed spectrum while guaranteeing coexistence with existing devices, carrier aggregation with up to 32 component carriers, and further cost reductions for MTC devices that can also support extended coverage. While Rel-13 features would naturally be further enhanced in Rel-14, it is already anticipated that latency reduction and technologies for vehicle-related services (V2X) would become important features in Rel-14.

Abstract:
The 4th Generation wireless communication systems, such as LTE and Wi-Max, have been successfully combining the traditional mobile applications mainly serving circuit switched voice services with the IP-based internet-type of packet data services. Currently, mobile users can enjoy not only voice calls, but also video conferencing, instant messaging, broadcasting, multi-media services, and location-based services. However, demand for wireless broadband is outpacing the foreseeable availability of new spectrum. While FCC have outlined the a path for almost doubling the available spectrum for fixed and wireless broadband uses, some industrial experts forecasted a need for a thousand-fold increase in wireless capacity by 2020. To meet this demand, next generation 5G wireless systems should explore not only to increase the spectral efficiency bits/sec/Hz through new theories but also exploring the ways to operating the system with much intelligent ways. This presentation will go over the fundamental approaches of “Dynamic Spectrum Sharing”, “Interference Alignment”, “Location Based Intelligent Network Operations (LoBINO)”, and “Dense Network” trying to link the theory, the economy, Engineering, and the spectrum.

Abstract:
4G LTE/LTE-Advanced communication system has been successfully providing mobile broadband internet and multimedia services during the last several years. Although the LTE/LTE-Advanced system is expected to prevail in the market for far more years, wireless communication industries have already started to discuss developing and standardizing a 5G mobile communication system. Main drivers of the 5G system are rapidly growing mobile traffic, immersive multimedia services, mission critical IoT applications, and massive device connectivity. In this talk, we first introduce the differentiation point of the 5G system in terms of services, terminals, and networks and then discuss the potential of new radio technology candidates such as massive MIMO, mmWave, low latency radio, flexible/full duplex radio, V2X, new waveforms, and the others. Finally, we investigate the expected standard and deployment milestones and the 4G-to-5G transition strategies, including the roles of 4G evolution technologies and new radio technologies in the 5G system.
