5G – Frame Structure Numerology
Base TTI
Short TTI
One DL/UL Subframe (1ms)
Numerology 1
Numerology 2
One of the many proposals for 5G Frame
Structure (proposal shown is from ETRI)
CPRI DFE
Flexibility critical
Radio Device
Many proposals, consensus building in standards bodies getting more complex & difficult.
Meeting timelines for first set of specifications on eMBB use cases is challenging.
Flexibility a critical need.

Gateway Prototyping
Leading operators are planning to have coverage for IoT by 2020. NB-LTE will be main
focus but IoT radios and gateways will need to support legacy (GSM) & other standards.
