AT&T and Verizon 5G Press Releases“In addition to using mmWave for wireless and potentially fixed-wireless services, Stephens added AT&T is considering the use of mmWave for 5G backhaul. Particularly, he said AT&T tested mmWave to provide backhaul to small cells in “really congested areas”. T-Mobile trialed similar technology in November 2017”

Reflections from Day 1 at Mobile

World CongressBy: Hans Vestberg 06 MAR 2018

It was a fast paced first day at GSMA Mobile World Congress. The

industry is clearly moving away from discussions about what 5G could be

and towards what 5G WILL be. And those are the conversations Verizon

is eager to be central given the work we've done. I was excited to hear the

pace at which some of our partners and suppliers are working to

accelerate development cycles to make 5G a commercial reality as soon as

possible.

Several of us have noted: Verizon will be first in both fixed AND mobile

5G deployments. Check out the Light Reading story.

I'm looking forward to the next few days ahead and talking more about

how Verizon can collaborate and work with our most innovative and

aggressive partners to fuel the 5G ecosystem and solve problems for

customers. Here is one of a number of media interviews my colleagues

and I have done here at the show. This aired on CNBC Europe.

Tomorrow, Nicki Palmer will share her reflections of what's going on

with the mobile industry, and especially on 5G, in Barcelona.

“Several of us have noted: Verizon will be first in both fixed AND mobile 5G deployments.”

“The vendors named are similar to those listed as partners in Verizon’s ongoing fixed-wireless evaluations in 11 cities and the test location of Euless (a suburb of Dallas, Texas) was listed among Verizon’s fixed-wireless trial cities.”

Challenges for mmWave Mobility

• Acceptance on Security

• Beamforming

• Power Source

• Human Exposure: Heat more than RF

• Handset size

• Also:

• “more and higher carrier frequencies, more transitions, and wider modulation bandwidths, of

transmitters and receivers. Among the radio components, the power amplifier is often of central

interest due to its relative cost and relative importance in determining performance. Thus in a 5G

context, characterization and analysis of power amplifier performance can be quite important and

will be more challenging for a number of reasons:

• With higher carrier frequencies, stability and repeatability of the measurement can be more

difficult.

• Broader band and high frequency devices, and measurement systems, tend to have lower

return losses which can affect measurement accuracy. These mismatch effects are one part

of a broader power measurement accuracy question.

• Measurement speed can become an issue as the amount of frequency space to be

analyzed increases and the number of different parameters to be measured likely increases.

• Practicality of the measurement setup may become an issue as levels of complexity

increase” [Source: http://dl.cdn-anritsu.com/ja-jp/test-measurement/reffiles/About-

SPECTRUM DEVELOPMENT OVERVIEW:

• Mobile industry

o 24-27 GHz and 37-40.5 GHz, along with eight other bands, were cleared for

global IMT (International Mobile Telecommunications) development.

▪ Agenda Item 1.13

▪ LMDS (28-31 GHz) was blocked internationally, but the U.S., Japan &

Korea stated they will continue their development domestically.

• Satellite industry

o LMDS and 39 GHz bands.

▪ Agenda Items 1.5 and 1.6

• Google: High altitude platforms (HAPS) broadband system

o 21.4-22 GHz and 24.25-27.5 GHz (Region 2 – Americas), and 38-39.5 GHz

(Globally) were cleared.

▪ Agenda Item 1.14

▪ Fixed Industry Opposition to Google: Google also is making similar filings

for experimental licenses at the FCC for the 70-90 GHz bands, though they

are redacted. The Fixed Wireless Communications Coalition (FWCC) and

other organizations are starting to prepare oppositions at the FCC to force

them to identify their proposed sharing criteria.

TG5/1

resolves to invite ITU-R

1 to conduct and complete in time for WRC-19 the appropriate studies to determine the spectrum needs for the terrestrial

component of IMT in the frequency range between 24.25 GHz and 86 GHz, taking into account:

– technical and operational characteristics of terrestrial IMT systems that would operate in this frequency range, including the

evolution of IMT through advances in technology and spectrally efficient techniques;

– the deployment scenarios envisaged for IMT-2020 systems and the related requirements of high data traffic such as in dense

urban areas and/or in peak times;

– the needs of developing countries;

– the time-frame in which spectrum would be needed;

2 to conduct and complete in time for WRC-19 the appropriate sharing and compatibility studies1, taking into account the

protection of services to which the band is allocated on a primary basis, for the frequency bands:

– 24.25-27.5 GHz2, 37-40.5 GHz, 42.5-43.5 GHz, 45.5-

47 GHz, 47.2-50.2 GHz, 50.4-52.6 GHz, 66-76 GHz and 81-

86 GHz, which have allocations to the mobile service on a

primary basis; and

– 31.8-33.4 GHz, 40.5-42.5 GHz and 47-47.2 GHz,

which may require additional allocations to the mobile service

on a primary basis,

1 to study additional spectrum needs for gateway and fixed terminal links for HAPS to provide broadband connectivity

in the fixed service taking into account:

– the existing identifications and deployments of HAPS systems;

– the deployment scenarios envisioned for HAPS broadband systems and related requirements such as in remote areas;

– the technical and operational characteristics of HAPS systems, including the evolution of HAPS through advances in

technology and spectrally-efficient techniques, and their deployment;

2 to study the suitability of using the existing identifications in recognizing c), on a global or regional level, taking into

account the regulatory provisions, such as geographical and technical restrictions associated with existing HAPS identifications based on

the study performed in resolves to invite ITU-R 1;

3 to study appropriate modifications to the existing footnotes and associated resolutions in the identifications in

recognizing c) in order to facilitate the use of HAPS links on a global or regional level, limited to the currently identified frequency bands

and, where the use of an identification is not technically feasible for HAPS use, the possible removal of

the unsuitable identification;

4 to study, in order to meet any spectrum needs which

could not be satisfied under resolves to invite ITU-R 1 and 2, for the

use of gateway and fixed terminal links for HAPS, the following

frequency bands already allocated to the fixed service on a primary

basis, not subject to Appendices 30, 30A, and 30B in any region:

IMT Support for Giving Incumbent mmWave Licensees Flexible Mobile/Fixed Rights

Verizon CEO Lowell McAdams to Tom Wheeler

“Mr. McAdam emphasized the importance to the US economy and US consumer of the Commission acting quickly to make the spectrum bands above 24 GHz available for mobile broadband. Verizon agrees with the Commission’s primary proposal to grant flexible use rights to existing terrestrial licensees in the 28 GHz and 39 GHz bands.”
