Introduction

In preparation for delivery of 5G services for the 2018 Winter Olympics, KT Telecom will host IWPC members in Seoul to explore innovation and advances in network infrastructure and user equipment. Specific use cases are emerging as candidates for early prioritization, including enhanced mobile broadband, massive machine type communications and ultra-reliable/low latency communications. As standards for 5G will be in the melting pot for some time, this workshop will provide an opportunity to assess initial technology drivers as well as maturity and timing of prospective 5G technology.

Workshop Goals

• Assess the impact 5G will have on mobile user equipment and future 5G smartphones
• Explore early “pre-standards” 5G plans, opportunities and implementation challenges
• Understand how 5G device RF Front Ends will need to be architected to support LTE
• Understand testing and performance challenges for future multimode, multiband devices
• Understand the maturity of components required to support 2018 trials towards 2020?
