Understanding Access Network Technology Options in 5G

Chairs: Prof. Giuseppe Caire, Technical University Berlin, Germany
Abdellatif Zaidi, Huawei R&D Center Paris, France
Dr. Thomas Haustein, Fraunhofer HHI, Germany

Next generation networks will have to cope with and support diverging sets of requirements for different use cases. Parameters set combination result into three main groups: the Massive Broadband, Massive Machine Type Communication & Mission Critical Communication.

While Massive Broadband targets the objective of a thousand-fold capacity per area, solutions for the wireless access have to make use of all capacity enhancing options including network densification, increased spectral efficiency and utilization of more spectrum.

Massive Machine Type Communication will have to handle tremendous numbers of devices per area with new communication characteristics including aspects of sporadic and/or event-driven traffic, energy efficiency constraints and in some use cases rather unsynchronized channel utilization. The third group of use cases requires Mission Critical Communication capabilities including low latency support in the order of 1ms or below to enable control loops of machines over the wireless network. Beside low latency reliability is of utmost importance for many industrial and safety applications.

Prof. Guiseppe Caire (Technical University Berlin, Germany)

Tutorial A: Millimeter Wave Spectrum & Massive MIMO - Improving spectral efficiency & new spectrum for radio access (50 min)

This tutorial presentation provides a review of the main concepts underlying the multiuser MIMO technology and specifically the case where the number of jointly processed infrastructure antennas is much larger than the number of simultaneously served users (the so-called “massive MIMO”).

Then we shall also consider the consequences of scaling up the carrier frequency, in the range between 6 and 60 GHz, on the signal processing and architectural design of large multiuser MIMO systems. Overall we shall support the argument that a combination of massive MIMO macro-cells and mm-wave hotspots can deliver the 1000x wireless throughput increase that 5G systems are expected to deliver.

Software Networks in 5G – an overview from the core, management, NFV, SDN, programmability and security

Chair: Dr. Marius Corici, Fraunhofer FOKUS, Germany
Giuseppe Carella, Fraunhofer FOKUS, Germany

While many are still wondering what 5G is, a strong push was made in the last year by leading research and industry in the direction of the standardization of the 5G system. Starting from the major impact of evolving towards software networks, this tutorial will disect a large number of new developments within the 5G system including: integration of mmWave radio, cellular developments for IoT, deep data plane programmability, edge networks, slicing, flexible backhaul and edge orchestration, 3GPP NextGen core network, role of machine learning as well as the advancements in the areas of vertical network customizations, 5G trial deployments, products development tools and benchmarking.

The softwarization of the network is addressed by a large number of new paradigms such as software defined radio, programmable networks, software networks, software defined networks (SDN), service function chaining (SFC), network functions virtualization (NFV), big data and analytics, machine learning. While the basic principle is the same, the network can be programmed using software only components, each of these R&D directions takes a different, customized approach. Through this, they provide a specific advantage to specific areas of the network architecture.

This tutorial will address the topic in a coherent manner across the different domains, as reflected within the current advancements towards 5G networks. After settling down the basic principles which define “everything as a software” network, a detailed impact on the different areas of the 5G architecture is provided including radio, core, backhaul and software network functions and application servers.

Following, the programmability of the system is underlined for both the networking direction (Software Defined Networks, Software Defined Radio, Service Function Chaining, etc.) as well as for the Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) environment and for the dynamic network management and orchestration.

A detailed part of the tutorial will be given towards how the latest advancements in cognitive systems and machine learning can be easily docked to the network architecture in specific decision points in order to provide an added value in terms of network adaptability towards irregular and unforeseen events.

Then careful and critical attention will be given to the impact and the needed customizations of the software architecture towards the different vertical markets: massive subscriber communication, industrial communication, massive M2M, automotive and multimedia delivery. As a result, a complete picture of the benefits and opportunities of the 5G software networks for the different industries is provided.

The tutorial concludes with outlining how the new software technology can be brought in a relevant manner to the 5G R&D, the status of live 5G testbeds and later be exploited in the 5G ecosystem. Furthermore, the software toolkits and experimentation platforms of Fraunhofer FOKUS/TU Berlin will be introduced, namely Open5GCore, Open5GMTC, OpenSDNCore and the 5G Playground, enabling demonstrations and hands-on know-how accumulation and comprehensive prototyping in the context of academic and industry research.

How the Industrial Internet of Things enables Future Smart Manufacturing/the Industrie 4.0

Chair: Dr. Florian Schreiner, Fraunhofer FOKUS, Germany
Dr. Alexander Willner, Fraunhofer FOKUS, Germany
David Boswarthick, Director of Committee Support Center at ETSI, France

How M2M/IoT, CPS, industrial Analytics and Fog/Mobile Edge/Cloud Computing technologies empower Factories of the Future

With an ever increasing global competition, factory operators are striving for increased levels of efficiency, automation, flexibility, manufacturing process insight and transparency as well as OpEx and CapEx savings. Internet-based Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are regarded as key enablers for bringing about the fourth industrial revolution/Industrie 4.0. A plethora of M2M/IoT solutions already enable a broad range of smart home, smart living, smart logistics and automotive applications steadily increasing the number of connected devices. Mission critical, Industrial IoT (IIoT) applications, however, require significantly higher levels of robustness, real-time responsiveness, resilience, bandwidth, responsiveness, accuracy and security.

This is where IIoT technologies come into play. IIoT technologies are smartening up manufacturing processes and environments in various dimensions.

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) allow for generating a virtual representation of physical objects and are, therefore, regarded as key drivers for future smart manufacturing where every object, every machine, robot, tool and component is given a virtual representation which can be tracked, traced, sensed and controlled. Smart sensor/actuator networks, machine-to-machine gateways, Cloud-based M2M/IoT platforms as well as industrial data analytics applications can be regarded as key ingredients of industrial Cyber-Physical Systems. With the help of Fog and Mobile-Edge computing technologies, shorter latencies (allowing for real-time capabilities) as well as higher levels of CPS data protection can be achieved.

Highly secure, reliable and resource efficient cloud-based industrial data spaces, hybrid/multi-cloud network, resource and service orchestration mechanisms (incl. ETSI MANO based Network Function Virtualization Orchestration) and mobile/cloud edge computing (MEC)/edge clouds enable distributed production, logistics as well as various low latency, real-time industrial applications including real-time video analytics, location services, augmented reality, optimized local content distribution and data caching.

Industrial IoT applications are enabling agile, demand-driven supply chains, energy-efficient production, collaborative robotics, applications for real-time manufacturing process supervision allowing for a total view and a total recall of complete states of all elements within a factory for safety purposes, product and process analytics. Smart inventory (track & trace) applications, intelligent products and aftersales services enabled through various CPS technologies, are only a few examples of how CPS and IIoT allow future manufacturing to become more efficient, more flexible and more adaptive to changing factors.

The tutorial will cover the following topics:

An update on M2M and Industrial IoT (IIoT) standards and technological advancements
Economic M2M/IIoT perspective and enabled application domains
Challenges and requirements of M2M/IIoT-based smart manufacturing applications
M2M/CPS/IIoT devices, access technologies, transport protocols, APIs and platforms

5G Design, Evaluation, and Prototyping

Chair: Dr. Satoshi Suyama, NTT Docomo, Japan

Toward IMT2020, namely 5G cellular networks, ITU-R has selected three use cases of 5G as Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Massive Machine Type Communications (MMTC), and Ultra Reliable and Low Latency Communications (URLLC). Based on these use cases, 3GPP has started their definition of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) such as peak data rate, spectrum efficiency, end-to-end latency, connection density, and network energy efficiency. Several network operators and vendors have launched prototyping works to show technologies to achieve such 5G KPIs. In this session, 3GPP and related experts are invited to show the latest 5G design and evaluation results on different 5G KPIs.
