Ubiquitous 5G access leveraging optical technologies • 5G access networks have

to dramatically grow in user capacity, quality of service, responsiveness, energy efficiency and number of connected devices while keeping a sustainable cost

• To develop and assess new optical access network solutions based on integrated optical device prototypes

• Co-operative radio-optical approaches are seen as very promising, also to cover intelligent interference cancellation

• Techniques to map 5G channels to optical transport and a co-design of the optical and wireless interfaces and protocols

• Scalable demonstrators validated through typical usage scenario

Software Networks • Software network architecture to support

access agnostic converged core network and control framework enabling next generation services

• Architecture leverages SDN/NFV paradigm to integrate/manage next generation transport and optical technologies

• Unified management of connectivity, with end to end security mobility and routing for flexible introduction of new services

• Scalability and efficiency related to increasing deployment of software-based network equipment and functions as well as corresponding more diverse services and usages

• Ease of deployment of multitenant networks, cost and energy efficiency, "five 9" reliability, flexibility and perceived "zero latency" where relevant

• Target is for a Network Operating System (NOS) with hardware and user interfaces to manage and orchestrate unified access to computing, storage, memory and networking resources

• Management and security for virtualised networks and services

• Network analytics tools, knowledge reasoning and cognition, may be extended towards network operations

• Management of security across multiple virtualised domains

Wireless access and radio network architecture/ technologies • Novel air interface technologies,

heterogeneous set of requirements (low rate sensors including mission critical M2M to very high rate HD/3D TV and immersive services, supporting local and wide area systems), enabling usage of frequency bands above 6 GHz

• Hardware architectures technologies and building blocks

• (Radio) Network functional architectures and interfaces leading to vision / reference architecture for 5G

• Co-operative operation of heterogeneous access networks, including broadcast/multicast (terrestrial and satellite based) and supporting SDN and virtualization

• Multi-tenancy for Radio Access Network (RAN) sharing

• Integration of Satellite Networks to support ubiquitous coverage, resilience, specific markets

• ICT-07-2017: 5G PPP Research and Validation of critical technologies and systems • ICT-08-2017: 5G PPP Convergent Technologies • (EUJ-01-2016: Joint Call EU-Japan, different timing) • (EUK-01-2016: Joint Call EU-Korea, different timing) • Call 2: Opening May 10, 2016, Closing November 8, 2016

High capacity elastic - optical networks • Support very high traffic and

capacity increase originating from an (5G) heterogeneous access networks with matching capabilities from the core and metro environments, at ever increasing speeds and in more flexible and adaptive form

• New spectrally efficient, adaptive transmission, networking, control and management approaches to increase network capacity by a factor of >100 while at the same time providing high service granularity, guarantees for end-to-end optimization and QoS - reducing power consumption, footprint and cost per bit and maintaining reach

• Integration of new optical transport and transmission designs with novel network control and management paradigms (e.g., SDN) are expected to enable programmability

Flexible network applications • Leveraging current intense research

activities in relation to Virtualised Network Functions (VNF) and targeting development of a multiplicity of VNF's useful to operators, service providers and users

• Service providers or third party providers should be able to assemble virtualised 5G functions as "network apps" from NFV hosting infrastructure, to deploy them in the relevant network nodes, to orchestrate and customise resources to provision user services

• Target is for a cloud like 5G infrastructures, supporting network services, resource and service orchestration

• This environment also provides an open source development framework for control functionalities and application developments

• It also provides the link between the network –terminal functions and the app/content providers towards standards developments

• Impact on 5G PPP Phase III (Work Program 2018 – 20) – 5G PPP Contractual Arrangement signed in December 2013 – Since 2013 environment is changing with

starting standardisation process and announcements on early deployments globally

– Identification of these research and innovation topics (Expert Group workshop on March 16, 2016), which will not be available for first phase of standardisation and early

deployments as well as further evolution of first 5G systems

– Justification of funding for such topics, which will not be in the competitive phase

• Early trials and basic “commercial” deployments require allocated frequency spectrum – Evolution of IMT-2020 / LTE-Advanced – First 5G capabilities – Europe: spectrum below 6 GHz – Japan: Operators are pushing that spectrum will be allocated already in 2016 – Korea and US in addition around 28 GHz

Changing environment

Source: 5G Infrastructure Association.

• Scoping paper by June 2016, which will already fix budgets at large

• Work Program is planned to cover the last 3 years of H2020 (2018 – 20), with 420 M€ funding for 5G PPP

• First call of Work Program 2018 – 20 will open early in parallel to ongoing Phase 2 projects

• Phased approach to focus – first on the Scoping Paper in April 2016 on higher-level strategic contributions

including major research and innovation areas and budget allocations and – in second half of 2016 on more detailed contributions to the development of

the Work Program

• Several whitepapers from NetWorld2020 and 5G PPP already available as input

• Build a story around phasing in standardisation and fast changing global environment with respect to necessary future research
