Progress on 5GSimon Pike, Vodafone

Chair of the working group on 5G

in Cluster One

The purpose of the work

To develop a UK perspective on the vision for 5G being developed in ITU by the group WP5D

A contribution was developed, which was submitted as a UK contribution to the WP5D meeting last month

There were two perspectives:

Approach 1• Predicting the future evolution of current and emerging applications

• Merged into four groups of applications

Approach 2• Envisaging the types of new capabilities that might be needed for

2020 and beyond.

• 5G is described in ITU as “IMT for 2020 and beyond”• Date of 2020 is arbitrary (determined by ITU framework)

May be needed for some applications

Possibly at very high frequencies

New capabilities envisaged for 2020 and beyond (approach 2)

Outcome of WP5D meeting

• The UK diagrams were included in the working document

• They now have equal status with other examples

• The text proposals were not addressed• This meeting focussed on getting the existing text into shape• There will be opportunities at the next meeting

• There was a lengthy discussion on the diagram• It will have seven or eight axes/parameters• Values of these parameters were agreed• There were differing views on the visual ‘look’ • It will effectively supersede the fifth diagram in the UK contribution

• A correspondence group was established to progress this• This will be challenging!

Deliverables of WP5D of IMT beyond 2020

ITU-R Recommendation

• IMT Vision for 2020 and beyond

• Sets the direction for the technical requirements and frequency bands

ITU-R Reports

• The technical feasibility of IMT in the bands above 6 GHz

• IMT traffic estimates beyond the year 2020

• Future technology trends of terrestrial IMT systems• A summary of these reports will probably be included in the Vision

Recommendation

Internal document

• Work plan, timeline, process and deliverables for the future development of IMT

• Defines the proposed timetable for standards development

Next steps in Spectrum Policy Forum

• Preliminary meeting on 1st July

• Focus on Vision Recommendation• But noting that it will include a summary of the Reports

• Develop contribution on Vision Rec. for next WP5D meeting• Consolidating current document• Propose suitable location for other four diagrams• Review working document, and possibly address new aspects

We do not currently plan to address:• Draft reports in detail (except in relation to the Vision Recommendation)

• Correspondence group (Process would be too difficult)

• Frequency bands or ranges (Subject of a current Ofcom consultation)

• Timeline

• i.e. continue with similar terms of reference

• Next meeting on 8th July

Timeline for work in (and driven by) ITU – View 1

Standards bodies submit proposals in the middle of 2019, after WRC-19

Timeline for work in (and driven by) ITU – View 2

Standards bodies submit proposals at the end of 2018, before WRC-19

IMT traffic estimates beyond the year 2020

Estimations of global mobile traffic consumed per subscriptions per month beyond 2020

257GByte per month is roughly equivalent to 57 hours of HDTV * - (114 hours average per person on the planet)

Estimation of global mobile subscriptions

17.1 billion is roughly two subscriptions per person on the planet in 2030

This excludes IoT connections
