Workshop on 5G/IMT-2020 terrestrial radio interfaces (Munich, Germany)

Workshop on IMT-2020 terrestrial radio interfaces (Munich, Germany)

Following the Recommendation ITU‑R M.2083, which defines the framework and overall objectives of the future development of IMT for 2020 and beyond, WP 5D has completed several key draft new Reports related to the IMT-2020 terrestrial radio interfaces on;
–                 "Minimum requirements related to technical performance for IMT-2020 radio interface(s)" (Document 5/40)
–                 "Guidelines for evaluation of radio interface technologies for IMT-2020" (Document 5/57)
–                 "Requirements, evaluation criteria and submission templates for the development of IMT-2020" (Document 5/56)
–                 Revision 1 of Document IMT-2020/2 on "Submission, evaluation process and consensus building for IMT-2020" (Document IMT-2020/2(Rev.1))
From the 28^th meeting of WP 5D in October 2017, the Step 3 of the IMT-2020 developing process "Submission/Reception of the RIT and SRIT proposals and acknowledgement of receipt" will start in accordance with Document IMT-2020/2(Rev.1).
Therefore, in conjunction with the 28^th meeting, WP 5D will be holding a workshop on IMT-2020 focussing on the terrestrial radio interfaces.

Objectives

The objectives of the workshop are as follows;
–                 to promote information sharing on IMT-2020;
–                 to facilitate dialog among ITU-R WP 5D, the possible proponents and the evaluation groups; and in particular
–                 to provide information on the ITU-R WP 5D process for IMT-2020 standardization including minimum technical performance requirements and evaluation guidelines;
–                 to invite possible proponents of IMT-2020 RIT/SRIT to present current and future development aspects about IMT-2020 RITs/SRITs; and
–                 to invite registered independent evaluation groups to present information about their evaluation group and planned actions.

Program

Anticipated timeline & draft program of the Workshop

Depending on the number of possible proponents and registered independent evaluation groups wishing to make a presentation, the time available for each presentation will be decided after the 1^st September deadline.
However, it is estimated that the information from WP 5D experts on the standardisation of IMT‑2020 in WP 5D will be handled prior to the lunch break so that the remaining time of the workshop until 17:00 hours will be devoted to the proponents and the registered independent evaluation groups.
It can be foreseen that the proponents should have time available in the order of 20-30 minutes for their presentation while the registered independent evaluation groups could be allotted around 10 minutes.

5G Flexible Numerology - What is it? Why should you care?

5G has so many promises it's difficult to tell how they all can be achieved. From extreme data download speeds, to self-driving automobiles, to IoT devices monitoring over many years. One of the key enablers for these to happen is the flexible numerology recently defined in 3GPP Release 15.

Streaming video – from megabits to gigabytes,Ericsson’s MobilityReport

Streaming video – from megabits to gigabytes

Smartphone traffic per subscription will continue to grow, driven by increasing video quality and immersive formats.

Key findings

• Smartphone data consumption and smartphone subscriptions are set to increase significantly.
• Video is the most significant traffic type generated by smartphone users.
• The increase in video data traffic has three main drivers: increased viewing time, more video content, and an evolution to higher resolutions and complex formats.
• User behaviors are shifting as network capabilities expand and are projected to change more dramatically as 5G services become available.
• For immersive formats to go mainstream, latency reductions and support for more symmetrical uplink/downlink throughput are required.
• At the end of 2024, the global average data consumption per smartphone is projected to be 21GB per month.

By the end of 2024, it is estimated that a smartphone will consume more than 21GB of data per month on average – nearly 4 times the amount consumed in 2018. In addition to this increased usage, the number of smartphone subscriptions is set to increase by 45 percent, reaching a total of 7.2 billion.

New video-watching behaviors drive data consumption

Video currently stands out as the most significant traffic type consumed by smartphone users, at a current average of 60 percent of total traffic. The importance of video will only increase; by the end of 2024, it is projected to account for 74 percent of traffic.

Evolution of the average smartphone user’s data consumption

Traffic category	World average data consumption (GB per month)
	2018	2024
Downloads	0.6	1.2
Messaging	0.5	0.9
App traffic	1.0	2.1
Audio streaming	0.1	0.4
Video streaming	3.4	16.3
Total	5.6	21

The increase in video data traffic per smartphone user has three main drivers: increased viewing time, more video content embedded in news media and social networking, and an evolution to higher resolutions and more demanding formats.
Today, most mobile video is streamed at low-definition and standard-definition formats 360p and 480p respectively. This is due to restrictions introduced by both content and communications service providers, as well as customers selecting formats with lower bitrates to get the most out of their data bucket. But user behaviors are shifting as network capabilities expand and are projected to change more dramatically as 5G services are made available. The streaming of high-definition (HD) video in 720p and 1080p resolutions is increasing, and the average resolution of a YouTube video in some LTE networks is already up to 720p.

Updated Spectrum for Terrestrial 5G Networks: Licensing Developments,Dec 2018

5G spectrum plans as of 13 December 2018. As national regulators plot their countries’ moves towards 5G, there are important choices to be made about which portions of the spectral range should be either dedicated for use by terrestrial 5G networks and services or at least accessible to 5G networks and services. This report summarises recent spectrum activity worldwide including auction and allocation plans.
This report reflects a market that is in constant flux and feedback is greatly appreciated to keep it current. The next update will be published in January 2019. Please send comments and information to research@gsacom.com.

• Important changes since the last report include:
• Australia: 3600 MHz auction completed.
• Albanian auction of spectrum at 800 MHz in 2019.
• Bulgarian consultations on spectrum plan and bands.
• Canada: initial applicants named in auction of spectrum at 600 MHz.
• Chile: press reports indicate 5G spectrum auction likely to slip to 2019.
• China: spectrum allocated for 5G trials.
• Egypt: initial timeline indications for 5G auctions (by 2020).
• France: completed its spectrum reallocations and licence extensions in the 900 MHz, 1800 MHz and 2100 MHz ranges.
• Germany: finalised rules for auctions of spectrum at 2000 MHz (1920–1980 MHz/2110–2170 MHz) and 3700–3800 MHz, due in Spring 2019, including coverage and throughput targets.
• Hong Kong: bidders confirmed in 900 MHz and 1800 MHz auction.
• Mexico plans 600 MHz auction and considers AWS band and 2.5 GHz spectrum auctions.
• Philippines: review of underused spectrum to support new entrants and recently named new major player (NMP).
• Romania: consultation opened on its 5G spectrum allocation plans.
• Russia: spectrum awarded for 5G test licences; more applications requested.
• Spain: press reports indicate possible delay to 700 MHz auction.
• Serbia: initial timeline indications for a 5G spectrum auction.
• Sweden: completion of the country’s 700 MHz auction.
• Thailand: updated auction plans for 2019.
• UAE: initial licences issued for 5G deployments; full allocations expected after WRC-19.
• United States: incentive auction announced for spectrum at 37.6–38.6 GHz, 38.6–40 GHz and 47.2–48.2 GHz.

Millimeter Wave/ 5G Channel Simulator NYUSIM Version 1.6.1

Dear NYUSIM users,

Thank you for your interest in our open-source Millimeter Wave/ 5G Channel Simulator NYUSIM. You are receiving this email because you have previously downloaded NYUSIM and entered your email address into our database.

We would like to announce that a new version (Version 1.6.1) of NYUSIM has just been released and is available at nyuwireless.com/nyusim. Version 1.6.1 provides two major improvements to NYUSIM, based on user feedback. The first improvement provides a complete MIMO channel representation. The second improvement fixes a crash when the RF bandwidth is set to be smaller than 800 MHz.

• (a) Fix 1: In Version 1.6 and earlier versions, NYUSIM only used the first TX antenna element with all RX antenna elements to generate the MIMO channel impulse responses, where NYUSIM should have used all TX antenna elements (N_TX) with all RX antenna elements (N_RX) when producing the MIMO channel impulse responses. In other words, earlier versions of NYUSIM only generated 1 x N_RXcomplex voltages for a particular multipath component. However, for proper MIMO channel modeling, N_TX x N_RX complex voltages of a particular multipath component are needed. The MIMO channel function is improved to generate a full MIMO impulse response (channel matrix) with respect to the number of TX antennas and the number of RX antennas. The parameter "CIR_MIMO" is expanded for all TX antenna elements for actual MIMO implementations and adjusted according to the user-specific RF bandwidth.
• Fix 2: In Version 1.6, a bug occurs when the RF bandwidth is set to be less than 800 MHz. The time resolution of the system becomes more coarse as the bandwidth is set by the user to be narrower than 800 MHz. Thus, fewer multipath components can be resolved at narrower bandwidth compared to the 800 MHz bandwidth. Thus, multipath components that arrive within a time bin are vectorially summed, and the function "getNewPowerSpectrum.m" in v 1.6.1 will correctly generate the band-adjusted power spectrum. AOA and AOD information retain 800 MHz bandwidth resolution, even if the user decreases the RF bandwidth.

More details about Version 1.6.1 can be found on the NYUSIM website (nyuwireless.com/nyusim) and in the NYUSIM user manual.

Please feel free to download and use NYUSIM v1.6 if interested. Thank you again for your interest and support!
