5G spectrum range
5G spectrum range
1 GHz 3 GHz 10 GHz 30 GHz 100 GHz
› From below 1 GHz up to 100 GHz
– Lower frequencies (< 6 GHz) will be the backbone, providing 5G services with wide-area coverage
– Higher frequencies (>10 GHz) for extreme traffic capacity and data rates in dense scenarios
› 2020: LTE deployed in most available lower-frequency spectrum
Allow for backwards-compatible introduction of 5G capabilities at lower frequencies

› LTE evolution = backwards-compatible evolution
– Strive to meet 5G requirements
– Possible to retain legacy UEs on the same carrier
quick introduction of 5G services
– LTE should evolve as far as possible, constrained by backwards
compatibility
› Further enhanced MBB & MTC
› Higher capacity, lower latency, higher reliability, lower energy
consumption, …
5G Radio Access
› New RAT = no backwards-compatibility constraints
– Further optimization without compatibility constraints

› Higher-frequency spectrum (> 10 GHz)
– May be different solutions for different spectrum, e.g. sub-30 GHz vs. “true” mmw

› Dual connectivity between new RAT on higher frequencies
and wide-area-covering LTE on lower frequencies
– Will initially be a common scenario
– To simplify introduction of new RAT
Tight interworking
› D2D using new RAT controlled by overlaid wide-area LTE network
› User-plane aggregation of new RAT and LTE on lower frequencies
– Full bandwidth can be retained at least for new device
– For more easy/smooth migration of new RAT into existing spectrum

System Control Plane
› Separate user-plane data transmission from system functionality
– System information and control provided wide-area by overlaid layer
– Underlaid network nodes only active when user-data to convey
› Major part of system information provided on a per-need basis
– Minimize amount of broadcast system information
– Separate of user data from control and system information multi-layer connectivity
› Multiple RATs may share the same system control plane

Backhaul-Access Convergence
› Dense deployments – challenging backhaul
– Access moving up in frequency to get more spectrum and bandwidth
– Wireless backhaul moving down in frequency to handle nLOS
› Integration of “backhaul” and “access”
– Same spectrum and technology for the two
– Dynamic sharing of resources between the two
– Single management system
› A first step towards multi-hop communication

Transport Data PLANE
Key challenges
Number of transport Capacity
clients
Latency
• Site/cell densification will lead to a
larger number of transport clients
• Up to a factor 100 small cells per
macro in some areas
• Order of magnitude higher traffic
densities
• Several orders of magnitude in
some areas/locations
• Additional order of magnitude
required capacity for specific
segments and deployment models
(e.g. C-RAN)
• Support for low latency services
considered as one important
aspect of 5G (e.g. critical MTC).
• Stringent latency requirements
associated with supporting
particular RAN deployment models
(CPRI fronthaul, CoMP, etc)
Affordable & Sustainable
