1 5G systems meeting the expectations of the Networked Society 2020 GSM Wi-Fi 3G Dr Magnus Frodigh Director Wireless Access Networks 4G New technologies 5G

2 Ericsson Research Technology leadership the main driver of GSM, HSPA, LTE, LTE-A and 5G Innovation 50 % of Ericsson patent filings a major creator of conference papers, journal articles and books Cooperation leading universities, research organizations and operators Strength a global organization spanning 3 continents 40 % holding a Ph.D. degree Commercial in confidence Page 2

3 In the networked society people, knowledge, devices, and information are networked for the growth of society, life and business.

4 Mobile Data TRAFFIC 2013 the monthly mobile data traffic volume was 2 exabytes By 2019 the monthly mobile data traffic volume will increase to 20 exabytes 1 exabyte = bytes Commercial in confidence Page 4

5 Smartphones 2013 the number of smartphones was 1.9 billion By 2019 the number of smartphones will increase to 5.6 billion Commercial in confidence Page 5

6 Mobile Subscriptions by technology [Billions] Source: Ericsson (November 2013) M2M subscriptions not included Commercial in confidence Page 6

7 THE Networked Society Devices Services From an operator-centric to an user-driven landscape Redefining the network & connected devices Network Cloud The network drives new value in connected devices Commercial in confidence Page 7

11 Ultra-Dense Networks Provide extreme capacity and multi-gbps bandwidths >500 MHz, frequency >20 GHz ~1 AP per room indoor, ~10-50 m ISD outdoor Higher frequencies enable/require beamforming increase link budget, constrain interference Low-cost, self-configuring access nodes access-backhaul integration Seamless integration with wide area network at lower frequencies robustness, UDN as data booster layer Commercial in confidence Page 11

12 Connected Devices Meters and Sensors Intelligent Transport Systems Critical Communication Sensor, actuators, meters, connected devices and things Small, simple, low-cost Low energy consumption Long-range coverage Connecting vehicles, transport infrastructure and transport management Incl. safety-related services Low delay High mobility Distributed embedded control & cyber-physical systems High reliability and availability Low delay Autonomous operation Commercial in confidence Page 12

13 LTE for meters & sensors? Are LTE devices simple? high requirements on M2M device Are LTE devices well reachable? MTC devices may have unfavorable attenuation (basements, metal enclosures) stationary MTC devices affected in particular Does LTE enable M2M devices to operate on battery for multiple years? not really referring to LTE Release 8 with regard to the defined M2M requirements Commercial in confidence Page 13

14 Addressing Limitations COST Reducing cost by up to 80%, eg by one receive antenna data rates limited to 1 Mb/s using 1.4 MHz BW only Further enhancements half-duplex FDD reduced RF bandwidth COVERAGE Options for low-rate MTC devices repetition with energy accumulation power/psd boosting relaxed performance requirements simplification/elimination of physical control channel functionality or design of new channels/signals Commercial in confidence Page 14

15 What consumes energy? power consumption Transmit Receive active inactive DRX / paging cycle active data signaling paging / measurements time DRX active times dominate UE energy consumption Commercial in confidence Page 15

16 Capillary Networks The majority of device connections predicted as short-range, non-3gpp e.g. Bluetooth Low Energy, IEEE but can only provide local connectivity at the edge Provide connectivity, security solutions and network management Connectivity, QoS, Security, Network Management Connected Devices Capillary Network Capillary GWs EPS Network Capillary Network Function Internet App Node Commercial in confidence Page 16

17 Machine Type Communications Simple & cheap Low energy TEXT Small data volumes Massive numbers MTC ~1ms e2e latency Ultra reliable Highly available Sensors, meters, actuators Ultra-long range Low protocol overhead Scalable Access Spectrum sharing with LTE (< 2GHz) Short TTI Robust transmission Fast channel assignment Multi-path Industrial application Traffic safety/control Capillary networks Capillary Networks & short-range radio Tactile Internet Commercial in confidence Page 17
