Defining future 5G networks

Context - we’ve come a long way in a short time

•The World’s first GPRS network was
launched 15 years ago in the UK
•At the time; GSM High Speed
Circuit Switched Data (HSCSD)
offered the UK’s fastest cellular data
service at 28.8kbps
•3G continues to enhance data rates
which have evolved from 384kbps
to some 10’s of Mbps during the last
decade
•4G is the state of the art; a mobile
broadband network by design…

5G offers exciting opportunities however 4G is here now
3
• SME opportunities - Devices, Networks and
Apps / Services
• 5G will enhance wide area 4G networks and
work seamlessly with evolved WiFi
• New and innovative devices - think beyond
the smartphone…
• Constantly evolving network infrastructure
- antennas systems, components and sub-
systems, software…
• Reliable connection with high speed uplink
as well as downlink with low latency…

Paradigm Shift at the Control Level:
Controlling Assets You Don’t Own
Service provider PropertiX provides a building management service to
tenant Lexxor, utilizing advanced monitoring and actuator infrastructure
embedded into the physical membrane of the building. With this, the
control centre of PropertiX can determine if the overall state of the
building is safe and sound as well as, in case of disturbances,
determine root causes and audit malfunctioning.
At some point, an emergency occurs when a construction vehicle,
operating outside the building, crashes into a large part of the building.
The smart environment of the building senses the relevant information
and signals an emergency alert to the control centre.
As a reaction, the control centre reconfigures the settings for data
collection and aggregation in order to retrieve auditable and
comprehensive status information from relevant building areas.
Furthermore, the breakage of a physical part of the building triggers an
emergency procedure. For this, the control centre provides access to
the building infrastructure towards the emergency services, helping in
assessing the structural damage and optimizing the access of rescue
workers.
Key Aspects
Rapid change of
constraints
• From data-at-rest to data-in-
motion within milliseconds
Need for integrating
other infrastructures
• Controlling the previously
unknown
A single provider
CANNOT own all
possibly required
infrastructure!

5G IC SME Engagement
Programme
Prof Stephen Temple CBE FREng CEng FIET
Visiting Professor University of Surrey

47
5G IC approach to SME Engagement
Why help SME’s?
How can a long term research centre be relevant to the needs of an SME?
Our reason for opening up two classes of SME members:
• SME (Technology)
• SME (Applications)
We are now open for “pioneer” SME (Technology) members to join
but are on hold for SME (Applications) until 5G Test Bed is fully
operationalised

48
We will work with our new pioneer SME (Technology) members to
develop our SME engagement programme
 Right to use membership of 5G IC on company PR
 Access to 5G IC Technical Conferences organised for all members
 Attendance at 5G IC sponsored events to show-case their company technologies
(to which some important global companies will also be invited)
 Access to the Test Bed involving technical integration at discounted prices
 Access to other test facilities and expensive items of measurement kit at
discounted prices (subject to availability including weekends).
 Negotiated (or competitive) access to MSc and PhD resource for appropriate
projects at the discretion of the 5G IC.
 Access to an exclusive discussion groups mediated by a 5G expert.
 Access to the Innovation Gateway run by the Business School (to research
innovative new business models)
The vision can’t be delivered all at once so we need to set priorities from:
But we also want to create a spirit to do that little bit more than is printed on the tin!

 Numerous development of 60 GHz
RF on CMOS (65>40>28nm) and SiGe
for 5+ years (802.15.3c)
 Wireless HD entered market in
2009 : 4 Gbps at 10m (Bespoke)
 WiGig / 802.11ad (WiFi)
 Experimental for 5G (UCSD, DARPA)

60 GHz Wireless Back Haul
 Worldwide unlicensed spectrum
 Oxygen attenuation supports high
spectrum reuse
 Compact unit with phased array
antenna
 MP to MP Mesh network for ease of
deployment with SDN control
 Joint Back Haul/Access

Wish List/Questions
 ‘Request for Information’ from Operators to clarify
demand, requirements and possible volume
 Will further stimulate low cost back haul development and
technology availability
 Harmonise EU 60 GHz radio regulations to support
deployment of 60GHz phased array
 Align Baseband Technology roadmap for mmWave
gigabit capable user access with network backhaul
within scope of 5G (with modifications)
