5G, the way forward!

Mário Campolargo, Director NET Futures, DG CONNECT, European Commission

Next generation of communication networks and services,

beyond 4G …. achieving ubiquitous super-fast connectivity…

Commonly accepted time table:

� R&D&I timing until 2020

Scoping 5G…

2

� R&D&I timing until 2020

� Optimised for technology expected to be available

around 2025 (and cost effective)

� Operational deployment after 2020

� Powerful engine for creativity and future growth.

� Competitiveness / Jobs & skills of tomorrow.

� The most important infrastructures of the next decade?

Why does 5G matter for the EU?

… and where the EU can make a difference to …

… and where the EU can make a difference to …

� Kick-start research & innovation.

� Move the investment cycle forward.

� "Smooth out" fragmentation between industry players.

� Exercise leadership on global consensus building.

� Prepare for new "converged" industry of tomorrow.

"Evolutionary"? not enough…

� Exponential traffic and network complexity/costs.

� The Cloud changes everything!

� "Mobile" out, wireless "connectivity" in!

5G ≠ 4+1 G

� "Mobile" out, wireless "connectivity" in!

� New business models / governance upside-down.

� Energy challenge.

� Nobody can "make" more spectrum…

infrastructure?infrastructure?

� Deliver the right "vision" on time, to enable main

technological options between 2015 and 2018, supported

by standardisation in the 2018-2020 period.

� Distinguish approaches regarding standards for:

� network interoperability and

Expected challenges regarding standards

� specific application support interfaces.

� Ensure fair return on investment for all players (traditional

and new) while stimulating innovation.

Spectrum challenge

� At least additional 500MHz new spectrum by 2020.

� More innovative spectrum usage technologies / systems.

� Most probably higher frequencies above 6 GHz.

� How to properly address Quality of Service in 5G driven by

verticals? How does this fit with the overall Internet

architecture?

� Should 5G offer a full alternative to Terrestrial TV

broadcasting as a universal service, by 2025?

5G should embody the "Privacy-by-Design" approach. What

Food for thought today

� 5G should embody the "Privacy-by-Design" approach. What

will be the key generic features of it? (big data?)

� Security across software domains.

In short …..

� Accelerate and structure research & innovation through the

5G Public Private Partnership (5G-PPP).

� Industry to co-create the "vision" and build global

convergence by end 2015.

Proposed EU approach for 5G

� Work jointly, stakeholders and Commission, on spectrum

planning (-> WRC-18), standards (2016-2020) and

international cooperation…

10

� Horizon 2020 Proposal

� Supporting PPPs, including Future Internet.

� Barcelona, World Mobile Congress, Feb. 2013, call for

action to industry to submit partnership proposals for an

A 5G PPP initiative for Europe - Context

action to industry to submit partnership proposals for an

advanced 5G future network infrastructure .

� Part of an integrated approach to Future Internet

� Cloud strategy (research, legal and procurement), FI-PPP

Internet as an innovation accelerator (generic enablers,

platforms, new actors, entrepreneurship, innovation), FIRE

(experimentation).

11

� Strong foundation:

� Close cooperation with and within community.

� Strong and visible community (800 entities in NET!works)

– but not restricted to.

� Industry oriented strategy.

5G PPP - Rationale

� Industry oriented strategy.

� What the PPP brings:

� Long term commitment from both public /private side.

� Greater impact on innovation and leverage effect on

complementary sources of financing.

more partnership, more commitment, more leverage!more partnership, more commitment, more leverage!

12

� Focus is on infrastructure, able to respond and be driven by

new business models.

� Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda defined by 5G PPP

partners.

� EU commits €700 million to leverage private investment in

R&D&I funding for 5G between 2014 and 2020 (Horizon 2020

5G PPP – Guiding principles

R&D&I funding for 5G between 2014 and 2020 (Horizon 2020
