5G Vision: key e2e operator requirements

Lets cover the concept, use cases, requirements - Technology/Elements..etc...

Regular Updates @ Linkedin Post

5G Uses Cases :-

5G Requirements :-

5G System and Packet Core - Requirements

• A RAN technology agnostic packet core 

• Independent Changes and enhancements to one equipment/network domain s

• A decoupling of Hardware and Software functions of network elements in all network domains [ToC/NFV]

• Optimized Cost and effort, to achieve smoother upgrade path and leverage existing infrastructure

• Real-time and on demand network - SDN/NFV

• Flexible and cost efficient network operation

• Maximize utilization efficiency of available network resources (new/existing)

• Dynamic relocation of network resources depending on current and local needs, fully controlled by operator with automation

5G Key Technologies :-

5G RAN Evolution - Expected :-

5G RAN Evolution - by NOKIA :-

5G RAN Evolution - by Huawei:-

5G Trials - Megafon Russia with Huawei

• Huawei and prototype devices based on Qualcomm Snapdragon X16 LTE.
• The peak download speed during the test is 1.24 GB/s.
• Aggregation of 3 carriers: 20 + 20 MHz Band7 (2600 FDD)

and 20 MHz in Band 3 (1800 MHz, FDD),

• Modulation 256 QAM,
• Technology MIMO 4×4.

5G Trials - KT Korea and Ericsson

• Tested speed 25.3 Gbps
• Millimeter Wave (mmWave) with Multi-user, Multiple Input, Multiple Output (Mu-MIMO)
• It is over 80 times faster than the current LTE-A.
• KT is aiming to provide 5G trial services for the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics.

FarEastTone to have APT700 for LTE by Ericsson

http://sunilmobiletelecom.blogspot.in/2014/08/apt700-700-mhz-band-auction-for-mobile.html
http://sunilmobiletelecom.blogspot.in/2014/10/advantages-of-700-mhz-spectrum-over.html


In my previous posts , I have highlighted the APT700's momentum, now...

FarEasTone of Taiwan is teaming up with Ericsson to launch LTE with APT700.
APT700 becoming highly in demand at various APAC & LATAM markets.

It helps the operator to have the capacity to serve more customers and provide extensive indoor coverage quality , all these at the very same network gear cost of any 2300/2100/1800 band LTE network.

Ericsson's plan to improvise the HW Platform for their AXE 810 Platform

Ericsson AXE 10 is the old HW Architecture
The same has been improvised to AXE 810 platform

[ "8" in the model name is more of a marketing/sales gimmick to capture the BIG Chineese market ].

They further trying to improvise the HW and bring CLOUD architecture as part of this planned HYBRID system.
