Introduction
Spectrum below 6 GHz possesses technical advantages and eco-system availability to provide an immediate solution to deploy 5th generation networks. Expectedly, sub 6 GHz bands will be a key enabler for 5G, and with that, usher in new network deployment paradigms and innovative service offerings leading to economically efficient business-models. What needs to be seen now is how the path to 5th generation of mobile broadband unravels in this spectrum, how end to end networks migrate from previous generation, and how new approaches to network functions bring promised efficiencies to market.
Workshop Goals
- Evaluate sub 6GHz spectrum for developing and deploying 5th generation network
- Regulatory and technical aspects of sub 6 GHz spectrum in meeting IMT2020 requirements
- Understand and evaluate advantages and compromises of sub 6 GHz 5G deployment
- Get a readout on existing hardware (RFIC, antenna, PA) and further optimizations required to enable a 5G product
- Innovations and optimizations specific to 5G in sub 6 GHz spectrum compared to LTE Advanced Pro
- Discuss standards and regulatory paths toward successful 5G network deployment
- Discuss and evaluate migration paths to 5G network, including coexistence with LTE
- Understand potential killer applications and use cases for sub 6 GHz 5G
- Evaluate innovative het-net deployment use-cases in sub 6 GHz 5G
- Evaluate virtualization approaches to radio and core network redesign
- Explore the viability of 5G in unlicensed spectrum?
