5G-CROSSHAUL @IEEE Com Soc Webinar: NFV/SDN, Time for Real Innovations
2017-05-23 11:00 - 12:00 (Europe/Berlin)
SDN and NFV are currently moving from the phase of standardization to that of early proliferation and adoption as common 5G base technologies. First innovations that truly exploit the capabilities enabled by SDN and NFV are also emerging in the form of novel architectures and technologies that improve on flexibility, dynamicity and overall performance. On the other hand, there is also a remaining belief that SDN and NFV have not pushed the boat out where it is needed for 5G and beyond. This webinar sheds light on these aspects of adoption, innovation, and the new frontiers with the help of invited esteemed experts in this space who will outline their position and debate their views.

Speakers:

Josep Matrat , Telecom and Media Market Manager, Atos R&D Spain
Artur Hecker, Director of Future Network Technologies, European Research Center of Huawei Technologies
Antonio de la Oliva, Associate Professor, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain
Dirk Trossen, Senior Principal Engineer, InterDigital Europe

3rd International 5G RAN design workshop @ICC 2017 (25 May 2017, Paris)
2017-05-25
While 5G research has already started some years ago, with large collaboration projects such as METIS initially paving the ground by aligning views on key use cases and requirements, and by identifying and researching key technology components for 5G, there is still a long way to go before the successful roll-out of commercial 5G deployments. In particular, there is still the need to find consensus on key design aspects in 5G, as for instance how tightly novel air interfaces variants in 5G will be integrated with each other and with legacy technology, and to which extent functionality on different protocol stack layers can be harmonized for all bands, services and cell types. The 5G PPP projects METIS-II, FANTASTIC-5G, mmMAGIC, 5G-CROSSHAUL and Flex5Gware all have the aim to take the 5G design one step further in level of detail, find consensus on key design aspects such as mentioned above, and prepare a smooth start of 3GPP study items in 2016 and work items in 2017.
The workshop, which is jointly organized by METIS-II, FANTASTIC-5G, mmMAGIC, 5G-CROSSHAUL and Flex5GWare, will build upon its successful predecessors, focus on the 5G RAN design and provide the opportunity to share and discuss final results from the mentioned projects or other 5G research activities. The workshop is col-located with IEEE ICC 2017 (21-25 May 2017). The workshop organizers solicit original, unpublished technical papers in particular in the following fields:

5G physical layer and hardware implementation concepts, e.g.

waveforms, synchronization, numerology, unified frame structure concepts
effect of hardware impairments on the PHY design, means for ultra low-latency and ultra high-reliability, native support of D2D V2X and multi-cast
low-complexity massive MIMO solutions and enablers, solutions for contention-based acces (TDD/FDD, pilot contamination, antenna correlations etc)

MAC, RLC, PDCP and RRC concepts, in particular related to a an efficient integration of multiple novel 5G air interfaces among each other, and with evolved legacy technology. Examples:

Novel resource management concepts for a wider range of service and QoS requirements and novel communication forms such as D2D, or spectrum sharing (LSA, ASA
Novel initial access and mobility concepts, in particular in the context of the integration and co-location of multiple novel and legacy air interface in 5G
Novel multi-connectivity approaches and related enablers

Backhaul/fronthaul design and capabilities for multi-tier ultradense heterogeneous small cell networks

Joint design and optimization of radio access and backhaul/fronthaul networks
Optimized backhaul/ fronthaul integration (wireline or wireless) and control
Backhauling and fronthauling options for a split control and data plane

RAN Architecture concepts associated to the overall control plane and user plane design such as:

E2E Network slicing, in particular its impact to the RAN
Novel 5G RAN Interfaces, CN/RAN interface, functional placement
Concepts associated to the impact of SDN/NFV to the 5G RAN design

Energy efficiency assessment of the 5G RAN
Business models and techno-economic assessment

Paper Submission: 2 December 2016
