Title: Moving towards 5G
Abstract:
The exploration phase for 5G has now started with many collaborative research activities. The industry is investigating how to respond to extreme capacity and performance demands that are foreseen in communications beyond 2020 and is seeking early consensus to clarify the overall picture of 5G. Naturally many further steps are still needed, before the development of 5G is complete, but an integration of existing and evolving systems with new, revolutionary technologies is seen as a likely way forward. This combination of evolution and revolution, wide and local area, big and small cells and different carrier frequencies will enable future communications, where people and machines will enjoy a virtually zero latency gigabit experience when and where it matters.
Kari Leppänen, Huawei Technologies, Finland
Kari Leppänen received his MSc and PhD from Helsinki University of Technology, Finland, in 1992/1995, respectively, majoring in Space Technology and Radio Engineering. He worked several years in the field of radio astronomy in National Radio Astronomy Observatory (USA), Helsinki University of Technology (Finland), and Joint Institute for VLBI in Europe (the Netherlands) focusing on very long baseline interferometry techniques. In 1997 he joined Nokia Reseach Center, where his research areas consisted of mobile and adaptive base station antennas, 4G radio systems, model-based development techniques for complex systems, and a novel approach for local information discovery based on direct low-power device-to-device communication. Currently Kari leads the 5G Radio Network Technologies team at Huawei in Stockholm and Helsinki (where he is based).
Title: 5G: CHALLENGES AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Abstract:
The requirements for 5G include 1000 times the area capacity of 4G, 1 ms RAN latency and the availability of 5G services also to mobile users. The offered solutions typically center around massive MIMO, mmWave access links, Cloud RAN and dense small cells. In my opinion, three major challenges are not being sufficiently tackled in the current research. First, how to reach significant RAN densification without unduly extra costs? Second, how to offer true 5G services to people in cars and busses? And third, how to do all this without significant increase in energy consumption, both in the end-user device and in the radio network? This talk will address all these three issues and propose possible solutions.
Janne Peisa, Ericsson, Finland
Janne has been working at Ericsson in the research and development of 3G, 4G and 5G systems since 1998. Previously, he coordinated Ericsson’s radio-access network standardization activities in 3GPP, and currently leads the Ericsson Research 5G systems program. In 2001, he received the Ericsson Inventor of the Year award. He has authored several publications and patents and holds both an M.SC. and a Ph.D. from the University of Helsinki, Finland.
Title: Extreme 5G
Abstract:
The requirements for the next generation (5G) wireless systems will stretch the system performance in number of novel ways. It will not be sufficient to fulfill the requirements for traditional mobile broadband services, such improved data rates or reduced, latency, but the 5G systems will need to support a wide range of new use cases, many also with new requirements. In this presentation we explore some of the more extreme requirements, and technology components required to meet them.
Hervé Oudin, Keysight Technologies, France
Hervé OUDIN is the EMEA 5G Program Manager for Keysight Technologies. His 20+ years of experience in the wireless industry spans various roles in Engineering and Marketing and crosses the evolution from analog cellular radio such as R2000 and NMT through LTE and beyond. This started with 1G and he has been part of every generation since. Prior to his current role, he spent the previous 15+ years in Wireless R&D and Conformance test with specific focus on Protocol layers and RF conformance testing and from Engineering, Product management and EMEA Business development responsibilities delivering Wireless system simulator and RF conformance testing expertize to all major design and certification labs as well as manufacturing facilities across EMEA.
Title: 5G Research and Experiment test challenges
Abstract:
The widely accepted requirements for 5G can only be met by a combination of evolutionary and revolutionary changes in cellular technology and business models. In this talk we’ll explore some of the 5G Research and Experiment test challenges. We’ll introduce some of the more disruptive PHY layer technologies including Massive MIMO and mmWave radio access and how this can be addressed using SDR System Architecture based on 5G Baseband Exploration Library that provides ready-to-use reference signal processing IP consisting of source code, models, subsystems, simulation examples and infrastructure components used for advanced 5G digital modems technology for research and Performance Analysis.
