10 Pillars of 5G
Evolution of Existing RATs
• 5G will hardly be a specific RAT, rather it will be a collection of RATs including the evolution of the existing ones complemented with novel revolutionary designs. Hyperdense Small Cell Deployment • Significantly enhance areal spectral efficiency(b/s/HZ/m2); • Reducing cell size can improve the EE of the network by bringing the network closer to the UEs and hence shrinking the power budget of the wireless links; 1. Multi-tier HetNet :ovelaying a cellular system with small cells of the same technology micro, pico , femto
1. Multi-RAT HetNet: ovelaying a cellular system with small
cells of different technology wifi, LTE,HSPA Self Organizing Network • To intelligently adapt the small cell to the neighbouring small cells to minimize inter-cell interference . Machine Type Communication • Either one or both of the end users of the communication session involve machines;two challenges:- 1- number of devices that need to be connected is tremendeously huge; 2-accelerating demand for the real time and remote control of mobile devices requires extremely low latency; Developing Millimetre-Wave RATs • Either one or both of the end users of the communication session involve machines; two challenges:- 1- number of devices that need to be connected is tremendously huge; 2-accelerating demand for the real time and remote control of mobile devices requires extremely low latency; Redesigning Backhaul Links • Backhaul links need to be reengineered to carry the tremendous amount of user traffic generated in the cells; other wise the backhaul links will soon become bottle necks Energy Efficiency • sustainable development by reducing the carbon footprint of the mobile industry itself. • ICT as the core enabling technology of the future smart cities can also play a fundamental role in reducing the carbon footprint of other sectors (e.g. transportation) • it can increase the revenue of mobile operators by reducing their operational expenditure (Opex)through saving on their electricity bills • reducing the ‘Joule per bit’ cost can keep mobile services affordable for the users, allowing flat rate pricing in spite of the 10 to 100x data rate improvement expected by 2020 • it can extend the battery life of the UEs Allocation of New Spectrum for 5G • The 1000x traffic surge can hardly be managed by only improving the spectral efficiency or by hyper‐densification. In fact, the leading telecom companies such as Qualcomm and NSN believe that apart from technology innovations, 10 times more spectrum is needed to meet the demand. Spectrum Sharing • The 1000x traffic surge can hardly be managed by only improving the spectral efficiency or by hyper‐densification. In fact, the leading telecom companies such as Qualcomm and NSN believe that apart from technology innovations, 10 times more spectrum is needed to meet the demand. RAN Virtualization • For network virtualisation, the intelligence needs to be taken out of the RAN hardware and controlled in a centralised manner using a software brain, which can be done in different network layers. • Network virtualisation can bring myriad advantages to the wireless domain, including both Capex (Capital Expenditure) and Opex savings through multi‐tenant network and equipment sharing, improved EE, on‐demand up‐ or down‐scaling of the required resources, and increased network agility through the reduction of the time‐to‐the‐market for innovative services (from 90 hours to 90 minutes), as well as easy maintenance and fast troubleshooting through increased transparency of the network [14].
