The global mobile data traffic is growing at an exponential pace. 5G is supposed to handle 100-1000 times higher throughput than current networks, but this comes at the price of a much higher energy consumption and cost, unless we can make future networks radically more energy efficient. As a first step, we need to make the energy consumption load adaptive, to save power when the data traffic is low. As a second step, we need to design the network architecture with energy efficiency in mind. In this webinar, different strategies for designing energy-efficient 5G networks will be discussed and compared. By taking a holistic approach, we will see how a mix of Massive MIMO and small cells is the most attractive solution. The speaker received the 2018 IEEE Marconi Prize Paper Award in Wireless Communications for his work on this topic.

Ultra-low latency connectivity of less than one millisecond is one of the key IMT 2020 requirements for fifth-generation (5G) cellular systems. In this talk, we will describe the applications that are driving these ultra-fast connections and the technologies in 5G that can achieve them. We provide an end-to-end perspective and consider latency at various layers of the protocol stack, including the physical layer (with a particular focus on millimeter wave communications), rate adaptation and scheduling, core network architecture, and congestion control.

Presentation will provide an overview of the recent developments towards support of V2X services by cellular wireless communication technologies. In particular, it will outline the recent progress made by 3GPP to upgrade cellular LTE technology to address early V2X use cases and provide overview of the radio-layer enhancements. In addition, it will discuss evolved V2X use cases and provide an outlook on further evolution of C-V2X communication technology including the main design components to address those based on 5G NR radio-access technology.

The term “5G” is applied to a broad range of applications, from mobile broadband to fixed access.  But foremost among the drivers for 5G is the desire to use mm-wave technology to support the Internet of Things (IoT), including the growing area of M2M (machine-to-machine) communications.  From the IoT we get the requirement to be able to support 10-100x the number of devices supported by today’s networks, which leads to the question, “who is going to create all these devices?”  In this presentation, we explore the implications of a dramatic increase in the number of wireless device developers on product testing, and discuss how increased access to testing equipment can help to smooth the path to the 5G future.
