Path to 5G Impact & Challenges for Operator Network Vodafone GNE&D/TTE July 2017
5G | Key enabler for new business 2 10 July 2017
What is 5G? • For the end-user: • For the MNO: =1ms+10Gbps+99,9999%+ Accessing any application, everywhere at 1Mdev/Km 2 +10years+Security any time 3 10 July 2017
Spectrum | regulation adaptation needed • Enough Spectrum (>100MHz) – Spectrum Sharing? • Contiguous spectrum – Defragment • Low band for coverage – 700MHz • High band for capacity – 3,5GHz, even higher @full deployment • Increased number of sites – Accelerate licensing – EMF relaxation 4 10 July 2017
Radio | new bands, radio, architecture & SDN 5 10 July 2017
Transport | need to standardize & rationalize requirements Gigabit Time/Phase Network Ultra Low SDN/NFV Security Resilience Latency Slicing Capacity Sync • Life critical • LTE-TDD • Cloud ready • NB-IoT • Video & • Life critical • Millions of applications Core sites millions of Convergence applications devices • Inter-eNB devices • Real time connected CoMP • Connectivity • Enterprise • Real time applications • Dynamically automation & Broadband applications • Device to • EMBMS network assign network • Virtual Reality device comm • MIMO & CA • Six nines • Cell Site slicing resources availability • Business coordination • Evolved DRAN • Flexible • Network critical • eICIC-HetNet • C-RAN orchestration differentiation • FrontHaul per service • Edge Capacity Computing 6
Transport Capacity | How to meet requirements • Accelerate fiberization − Focus on Aggregation • Wireless technologies where fiber not feasible or viable − Eband − Multi Band Links 7 10 July 2017
Transport Latency | mainly about architecture 8 10 July 2017
Core | phased evolution to NGCN 9 10 July 2017
Slicing & SDN | Enablers for service differentiation, low latency & reduced Time To Market • Key benefits of SDN • NW slicing: Specialized network slices to NW automation, simplified provisioning – match specific requirements Dynamic resource allocation – Slice definition / selection function under – Automatic restoration & protection – definition by 3GPP Faster time to market, reduced operational – • Key network components (SDN, Cloud- costs RAN, MEC, IP Backhaul) enablers to implement slices Hierarchical QoS & SDN key enablers for – MBH 10
Take away • Standardization is essential – Service & Requirements • Regulatory adaptations – New bands – EMF – Collocation New business model • 5G is about complete network transformation – Significant investment – Changes in the architecture, topology & technology – Access & Transport the most impacted domains • Step-by-step approach 11 10 July 2017
