Keynote Speech 1:
“Future Vision and Key Enabling Technologies for IoT”
Dr. Jong-Deok (JD) Choi, Executive Vice President, Samsung Electronics


Abstract:
Today, Internet of Things (IoT) is a reality of the world-wide IT industry and is being accelerated rapidly. Analysts predict that more than several hundred billion connected ‘Things’ will be in use globally by the end of 2020. The IoT is on track to become the primary enabling technology for digital business reaching many different products and services. The three driving components for the IoT technology are devices, connectivity among them, and services on top of these interconnected devices. The device technology covers from traditional devices like desktop and laptop computers, handheld mobile devices to a diverse range of sensors and everyday small things. The connectivity technology enables communication among various devices and allows them to interact with the external environment. An IoT device senses its surrounding environment, analyzes the gathered data, then carry out context-sensitive actions for offering the right service. Samsung has been leading the cutting-edge research in these three areas (devices, connectivity and services) to create solutions that effectively respond to challenging requirements of the IoT market. These solutions will be continuously improved and new solutions will be developed by collaborative partnerships between Samsung and other major IoT players. Through the industry collaboration, Samsung will be able to provide better user experience and smarter environment where different devices from various industries are seamlessly connected. Samsung is committed to deliver new value to everyone's daily life on its grand vision for IoT. By 2020, the entire Samsung devices will be IoT-enabled. However, it will take more than one organization or industry leader to unlock the full potential of IoT. Collaboration crossing different IT industries is a must in order to reach its fullest potential.

Keynote Speech 2:
“The Future of Mobile Computing and Communications toward the 5G/6G Era”
Dr. Geng Wu, CTO of Wireless Standards, Intel Fellow, Intel Corporation


Abstract:
The evolution of high speed wireless and Moore’s Law are on an intersect course. Together, they are enabling the infusion of computing and connectivity into virtually anything, giving rise to the Internet of Things. Intel’s pioneering efforts in NFV, virtualized RAN, and small cells enabled next-generation core and access networks. Intel’s design and manufacturing technologies enabled mobile devices to continue to evolve in size, form, function and computing capability to give us many new categories of devices, such as wearables, connected automobiles, connected home appliances, smart cities and other applications. Today wireless industry is at a turning point. On wireless communication technologies, further improving spectral efficiency at individual radio link level is becoming increasingly challenging. We need to find new ways to build our future networks and devices to meet our ever increasing capacity demands. On services and applications, as smartphone penetration accelerating globally and starting to saturate in many developed markets, we need to develop new technologies that make things smarter, our daily work more efficient and our living environment intelligent. On user experience, we need to create a technology foundation that enables future generations of applications and services for the coming decades that are likely beyond what we could imagine today. To achieve these goals, 5G and future generations of networks and devices are about the combination of computing and communications, and about end-to-end solutions. This is a paradigm shift from previous generations where technology development focused primarily on communications. In this new 5G era, Intel is uniquely positioned in the world with its breadth and depth of design expertise, engineering capability and scale in both computing and communications. This presentation will discuss this paradigm shift and what it means to the industry, key challenges and opportunities, and future research directions. It will highlight Intel’s technology vision for future mobile computing and communications. This is a mission of unprecedented global scale. It requires many industries to work together and innovate, governments to change regulations, and academic research community to come up with new technology breakthroughs. Intel has a long history of partnership with Korean high-tech industries and research communities, from network virtualization, cloud RAN to air interface technologies. Recent SKT-Intel joint demonstration of anchor-booster network architecture for mmWave communication at MWC 2015 offered an early taste of what 5G performance could offer to end users. And there are more to come.

Keynote Speech 3:
“SK Telecom’s Mobile Broadband Innovation for the Value-Creating Network”
Mr. Jin-Hyo Park, Senior Vice President, Head of Network Technology R&D Center, SK Telecom


Abstract:
As the world’s most innovative mobile service provider, SK Telecom is creating the future of mobile and delivering cutting-edge, converged wireless technologies for the global market. The company is a pioneer in the mobile industry, having been the first to launch and commercialize CDMA, 3G CDMA, 3.5G HSDPA among other mobile services, and is now leading the way in 4G and beyond. This presentation will cover what SK Telecom has done so far to bring a true mobile broadband experience into our life. In addition to CDMA, WCDMA, HSDPA, and HSPA+, SK Telecom launched the nation’s first LTE service in July 2011. SK Telecom also became the world’s first mobile carrier to commercialize 150Mbps LTE-Advanced in June 2013 and 225Mbps LTE-Advanced in June 2014 through Carrier Aggregation (CA). In line with its efforts to swiftly move towards the next-generation mobile network system including 5G, it successfully commercialized 300Mbps tri-band LTE-A CA. SK Telecom will also present the view and strategy on the network evolution to prepare more accelerated mobile broadband in the future. The future network needs to accommodate more and more data traffic efficiently and enable new valued services. To achieve this goal, SK Telecom proposes four directions in network evolution, “Simple”, “Unified”, “Responsive”, and “Enhanced”. Based on the four directions, the future network can take many advanced technologies, e.g., virtualization, analytics, ultra-dense network, etc., and it should be “Value-Creating Network”. In line with network evolution, SK Telecom is seeking new growth engines through three innovative platforms namely Lifestyle Enhancement Platform, Advanced Media Platform and IoT Service Platform. Finally, this presentation will discuss the 5G network and services. SK Telecom holistically defines 5G as end-to-end network architectures and services, promising the greater values in terms of (1) user experience, (2) connectivity, (3) reliability, (4) efficiency, and (5) intelligence. Based on the ultra-fast speed, massive connectivity, and platformized valued network, many new services will be coming up (e.g., immersive virtual experience, massive/mission-critical IoT, etc.).

Keynote Speech 5:
“Intelligent and Connected: Moving forward in IoT“
Dr. Krisztián Flautner, General Manager, Internet of Things (IoT) Business, ARM


Abstract:
The Internet of Things (IoT) is already here and in use today. With existing leadership in board installation base of Cortex-M, we have seen that IoT runs on ARM as the try reality. However, one size does not fit all in the IoT space; from gateways to rich end nodes and tiny, low cost sensor nodes. It is required to provide a diversity of hardware with a common software framework. The breadth and diversity of ARM technology, combined with ARM's collaborative business approach, meets the technical and market needs of rapidly evolving, secured interconnectivity of IoT. ARM’s vision is an IoT architecture based on open, web-based standards from which innovation across ecosystems can flourish to enable new products, services and businesses. It is believed that security, wireless connectivity, low cost will be the key drivers to move IoT to the next stage.
