IWPC Workshop - Beyond 4G & LTE-Advanced

Workshop Background: This workshop is designed to define a set of questions which can no longer be ignored by the industry - How do we meet the needs of exponential data growth in the next 5, 7, 10+ years? What are the key challenges? Who are the key players? To network providers: What do we need to do to meet the exponential data growth? What bandwidth is needed? What technical solutions/options are needed? When does the current network “clog-up”? (2015, 2017, 2019) Do we have to abandon the traditional spectrum approach and the traditional cellular approach that we have had? How do we future proof the capacity of existing networks to meet the exponential data growth? 100’s to 1000’s times more data growth every 5-10 years. How do we get from 10 MBpS per user, to 2000 MBpS per user? – a >200 x increase from today’s LTE. As users become accustomed to the access of information anywhere and as the internet of things drives more traffic, how will networks evolve? There is a view that organic or evolutionary growth won’t keep pace with demand. How do network operators plan to develop their networks?
Workshop Goals: This workshop will provide attendees with an in-depth view of the challenges and the opportunities the industry faces to deliver networks and user equipment, which will cater for the demands of future users and support the projected exponential growth in data traffic. What are the infrastructure challenges? What are the portable terminal challenges? What are the challenges to the supply chain? (antennas, backhaul, semiconductors, packaging, etc.) At the end of this workshop, we would like to begin the process of thinking through the development of a Global Ecosystem to setup a “test bed” for an “X” G Network within the next few years.

9:00 AM	HOST Keynote REMARKS Exponential Data Growth – The Spectrum Gap in 5, 7, 10+ years How to utilize the spectrum we now have? What spectrum will we need in the future? What are the limits of current modulation schemes (bits per hertz efficiency) carrier aggregation and diversity solutions (spatial, polarization, etc.) to maximize spectral use in the current cellular spectrum? Who are the customers and how will they change their behavior once this data-rate is available? What will the consumer do with all of this data? Human to human – what is the saturation of human sensory input (for example: each human eye can accept ~10 MBpSec) Human to Machine Machine to Machine (gigabits per second) Agents/Avatar in the phone to harvest data for you – to seek out data you wish from the network What are the changes in the nature of telephony – what are the communications of the future? Example: Young people today are using the Smartphone in data heavy environments What is the customer expecting from the network, 5, 7, 10+ years from now? We are forever underestimating the market demand To the mobile terminal? To the home? Data is desired anytime, any amount, anywhere Consumers want to be encircled with this wireless cloud of intelligent computer accessibility – anywhere, any amount of instantaneous data – using no keyboard Will this change the users paradigm completely? How will generational changes impact future technology requirements? Un-tethered communications, 24/7? Impact of in-building vs. outdoor use cases? Carriers are running out of spectrum, fast. Where do we go? Femto cells, nano cells, WiFi? Feasibility and timing of building a “test cell” – what is needed from the industry to make this happen? Exponential Data Growth – The Spectrum Problem in 5, 7, 10+ years What will the consumer do with all of this data? What is needed from the industry to address these requirements?
