UAI CAS System Design of Unified Air Interface & RAN Service Control Service Convergence Radio resource management & optimization RAN Slicing uRLLC Slice eMBB Slice mMTC Slice Flexible network slicing and virtual resource allocation Multiple Connection, Diversity Massive MIMO (LF & HF), MUSA and Redundancy, Outer Code LDPC, Outer Code Abstract Physical Layer Unified design for all service scenarios and deployments Unified Waveform, Scalable Frame Structure UAI Architecture Proposal for 5G System Architecture 5

UAI CAS Unified Frame Structure for Various Services Optimized Frame Structure by UFS with Flexible Parameters and Configurations • For majority eMBB services, normal frame TTI length should meet the timing and bandwidth requirements • For mission critical uRLLC services, frame TTI length can be reduced to speed up response time, shorten overall latency • For majority mMTC services, when massive connections are required, frame TTI length can be increased to accommodate large number of devices connected simultaneously • Subcarrier spacing is also the parameter for consideration 6

UAI CAS Spectrum Challenges for 5G 1. Over 30 Spectrum Bands for LTE Deployment – Major LTE frequency bands • 700MHz/800MHz/900MHz/1.8GHz/2.1GHz/2.3GHz/2.6GHz • Channel bandwidths: 10MHz/20MHz/others NB-LTE • Possible spectrum re-farming, potential band interference – Smartphone design challenges • GSM/CDMA, UMTS, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS radio/ band combinations • Challenges of ecosystem & economies of scale 2. FDD/TDD Challenges – Different Carrier Aggregation proposals – Overall ecosystem & global inter-operability between networks 7
