MICRO OPERATORS FOR VERTICAL SPECIFIC SERVICE DELIVERY IN 5G MOBILE BUSINESS ECOSYSTEM Matti Latva-aho Centre for Wireless Communications (CWC) University of Oulu, Finland http://www.5gcwc.com/
5 Content, Context & Insentives The owner of the space must have a role and insentive in building, operating and maintaining the network as well as creating context related content and services.
13.11.2016 6 How Operator Roles May Change in 5G? • Wide coverage area expensive to maintain • Lot of traffic in densely placed small cells • Spectrum regulation is going towards shared spectrum • Content will be changing much faster and lot of content relevant only to the context will be there; users/machines generate lot of content • Access and content provisioning will finally be separated • Emergence of new local micro operators ?
7 Micro Operator - uO • A virtual operator does not have own infrastructure but has own customer base. • A micro operator (uO) has own infrastructure but not necessarily own customer base. • Revenue models for uOs are not based on monthly fees of bytes. – Part of property offering – inclusion to rent – Part of customer service model – Improving the efficiency of public service • Possible only via changes in regulation.
8 Technical Regulatory uO concept: building building blocks: blocks: -Dense small cell -Availability of 5G uOs build and operate networks spectrum indoor small cell networks -Network -Local micro and offer local context virtualization licenses -Mobile edge -Rights to build related services and computing indoor networks content -Operation in -Rules for higher carrier collection and use frequencies of data Business -Spectrum sharing -Collaboration/ models and management competition rules techniques with MNOs
MNO Network Content infrastructure provider vendor Local connectivity for MNOs customers; collaborations to use MNO infra Scalable small cell Local network and services and infrastructure on applications demand Micro Construction Network Local of small cell operator infrastructure End user services and infrastructure constructor applications (uO) Permission to Devices for deploy networks; collecting and using local services and Local spectrum of data/services content licenses and rules for competition End user Facility owner equipment and tenant manufacturer Policy maker/ Regulator
Oulu 5G Test Network State-of-art LTE 5G Proof of Concepts Step-by-step towards commercial 5G Nationally funded 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 (Tekes 5 th Gear) LTE-M live network 5G vs. LTE air interface New 5G technologies, use cases, research trial project performance tests and e2e performance applications and business models Network operation by VTT and University of Oulu, Nokia radio and core network products Campus area, includes private network (VTT) and public network http://www.5gtn.fi/ (University)
13.11.2016 14 Oulu 5G Test Network Offerings • Real-life Lab for testing 5G portfolio, New Services, Applications and Business Models • Current status – Outdoor & indoor coverage built @2.6GHz and 3.5GHz (outdoor coming soon). – Pre-commercial 5G radio with adaptive beamformer @28GHz by early 2017. – Commercial EPC for 100k users under installation. – Several Mobile Edge Computing servers already installed – IoT extension with ~1000 nodes completed during 2017. – 100 testphones currently; target to offer SIM for students and personnel to enable testing with 15-20000 users at the campus area A real operator grade 5G test network
5G Proof-of-Concept Radios Tested in Live Network EPC with possibility LTE-A and 5G protype radios for edge computing Our target is to bring in 5G PoC radios to verify, e.g., operation of adaptive beamforming at mmWaves in a real network.
