5G-Crosshaul - the fusion of Fronthaul and Backhaul in 5G! @MWC 2017
2017-02-28 11:00 - 12:00 (Europe/Berlin)
5G-Crosshaul is organising a panel at MWC 2017 on Tuesday 28 February, 2017 from 11:00 to 12:00 Hall 7 Stand 7C61.
Looking at various research and standardisation forums leading the development of 5G, such as 5G PPP, NGMN, 3GPPP, IEEE, ITU, IETF, ETSI, etc., all seem to align on the vision that the fronthaul and backhaul will converge or fuse in 5G into what is now popularly refreed to as Crosshaul or Xhaul. So what requirements are driving quch a fusion in 5G? Which enabling technologies could make it happen? Where are ther remaining gaps and what is the industry doing to make ot happen? And when are we going to see it?
Featuring leading experts in the industry, this panel aims at discussing the Crosshaul (Xhaul) topic from the various angles of requirements, architecture, enabling tehcnologies, standardization, and market development.
The panel will be moderated by Alan Carlton, Vice-President of International Labs at InterDigital (UK). Panelists include: Antonella Sanguineti (Ericsson), Arturo Azcorra (5TONIC), Diego Lopez (Telefonica), Li Fung Chang (Taiwan’s 5G-Office), and Theodore Sizer (Nokia).

Final Panel on Joint Future Actions

Expected Outcomes
The conference will serve as the first key project event where the project partners and its Advisory Board members interact directly with and get the first-hand information on IoT and 5G development in both the EU and China from its target stakeholder groups (research community, industry, policy makers, media, general audience, etc.). It will raise awareness of the importance of joint actions and collaboration, collect useful inputs for project activities in terms of standardisation, testbeds and LSP specifications and best practices, as well as valuable opinions on how the project can move forwards to best support and facilitate concrete collaboration in the near future.
The conference will be followed immediately on the next day with a non-public, intensive Round Tablediscussion between the invited speakers/experts and the project partners on concrete ideas to move forward on bilateral cooperation in the fields of IoT and 5G.
Details of the venue will be announced shortly.
