NR UE Categories (on-going)
• Discussions are on-going in 3GPP
• 5G UE will not signal UE categories anymore explicitly to the network
• Definition will be in the spec but just for marketing concept
• Likely KPI to define UE categories: peak data rate, reflecting the best achievable data rate
among the operation modes supported by the UE
• 5G NR spectrum allocations are unclear in certain regions (impact data rate)

5G for Automotive
• Technology base: LTE, LTE-D2D
• V2X Candidate solutions: IEEE 802.11p/DSRC, LTE-V2X
• 3GPP is expanding LTE into automotive verticals
• GSA forecasts by 2025, annual sales of new connections for connected cars will reach 91
million units/year, with global installed base approaching 527 million
18
LTE-V2X Background
Types of V2X:
• V2V: vehicle to vehicle
• V2P: vehicle to pedestrian (e.g. handheld terminal
carried by a pedestrian, cyclist, driver or passenger)
• V2I: vehicle to infrastructure application, where
infrastructure is RSU (Roadside Unit)
• V2N: vehicle to network

Enablers (3GPP technologies):
• ProSe or D2D communications
• MBMS & SC-PTM: provide efficient delivery of broadcast,
multicast or unicast services, to be used in: group call session,
live TV broadcasting, public warning message delivery etc.
• Non-3GPP technologies enablers: DSRC and 802.11p

Observations
• Since 3GPP Rel-11,
OTDOA & E-CID have
been the flagship
cellular positioning
technologies
• Additional D2D based
ranging solutions are
gaining momentum in
V2X use cases
Looking forward, 5G
cellular positioning will
evolve based on existing
E-CID, OTDOA, UTDOA or
D2D positioning solutions
In addition, leveraging
RAN-independent
technologies, incl.: GNSS,
RTK, IMU, Wi-Fi, TBS,
Bluetooth, towards hybrid
solutions, to cover a wider
range of use cases
(IMT-2020) @SylviaLuUkCW SIG Event Sep 2018
Overview of 5G NR Positioning in 3GPP
• Requirements - 3GPP identified high-level 5G NR potential positioning requirements (incl.
highly accurate positioning, hybrid positioning)
• Use cases – study on 5G positioning use cases covers diverse use case and scenarios (IoT,
V2X, Industry 4.0, emergency services, Aerials, Location based Services)
• Next: New 5G NR Positioning Study to start in Rel-16 (Oct’2018)
• Some potential NR positioning benefits: wider bandwidths expect to provide better ToA
resolution, massive antenna systems, beam angles and ToA triangulation, flexible NR
network architecture; RTK for precise positioning
22
5G NR Positioning Trend
@SylviaLuUkCW SIG Event Sep 2018
• Transition to 5G is an evolution, but could also transfer verticals
• 5G NR is designed for long term coexistence with 4G LTE
• 5G systems evolution direction: connecting verticals; need more inputs from verticals,
more collaboration
• Existing LPWA (LTE-M and NB-IoT) solutions are 5G ready and will be forward-
compatible with 5G core networks
• NB-IoT and LTE-M, including their evolutions, are expected to be the vital 5G
components to address LPWA use cases in the 5G era
• NR-IIoT to address IIoT use cases: factory automation; leveraging NR URLLC and TSN
• 5G UE will not signal UE categories anymore explicitly to the network, definition however
will be in the spec for marketing concept
• NR-V2X to address advanced V2X use cases
• NR Positioning: highly accurate positioning (centimetre), hybrid positioning
