5G Brazil Project Private autonomous project under Telebrasil umbrella A private association with 65 members (institutions) Main Goal: to represent the interests of the telecommunications sector in Brazil and to promote its development.
5G Brazil Project Private project with: 20 associates (institutions), including industries, universities, research centers, telecom operators and industries associations. 120 members, including engineers, researchers, professors, medium-level and high-level executives.
5G Brazil Project Main Goal To promote the development of 5G ecosystem in Brazil through: Enabling and establishing the communication between the ICT sector and all spheres of government and regulatory agency in Brazil; Looking for financial support for the promotion and use of 5G technology; Promoting national and international cooperation agreements for 5G technology development and adoption;
5G Brazil Project Main Goal To promote the development of 5G ecosystem in Brazil through: Establishing and maintaining open interaction with non- ICT organizations, also called vertical sectors; Sharing information regarding 5G technology among Members and Associates in line with compliance and legal limits. Representing the common interest of the members, when requested, in national and international forums related to 5G

Scenarios for 5G - Common Vision
5G Brasil What is Missing?
5G Brasil What is Missing? % of disconnected people: Source: ITU More than 4 billion disconnected people
Social and Economic Aspects Digital divide affects developed and developing countries The increase in broadband Internet access significantly influences the GDP (gross domestic product) of a country To separate people from information and communication technologies and services is no longer acceptable in contemporary society. 5G can offer a huge opportunity to solve this problem
What is Missing in 5G? 5G for Remote Areas! We also need Smart Santa Luzia (BA) We also need e-health applications in Amazon area We also need IoT applications in rural areas
5G Brasil Peculiarities of Brazil 60% of municipalities in rural areas 65% in the north region 68.9% in the northeast region

5G Brasil Opportunities in Brazil Demand for Broadband Access
Connectivity Problems > 15 km is a problem Farms with huge dimension are a problem ex.: 50 km x 50 km
Connectivity Problems Portugal 92.212 km 2 Municipality of Altamira 159.533 km 2
Challenges How to make the remote areas scenario economically viable? How to make the remote areas scenario attractive to operators? Using new technologies, as Cognitive Radio. Using new approaches to Spectrum Allocation. Using economic incentives.

Fourteen Technological Trends for 5G Millimeter waves Heterogeneuos Networks Ultra Dense Networks SDN and NFV Cloud RAN Radio over Fiber in the Backhaul Massive MIMO Coordinated Multipoint D2D Communications New Waveforms Non-orthogonal Multiple Access Cognitive Radio Multi-RAT Full-Duplex
Technological Trends for Remote Areas Millimeter waves is not possible Sub 1-GHz is necessary Ultra dense networks is not applicable A super cell is necessary 50 km radius Cognitive Radio Some important aspects: dynamic spectrum access; fragmented spectrum allocation; TV white space exploitation; interference mitigation. Can enable a new regulatory model Can economically make the scenario viable
Technological Trends for Remote Areas New Waveforms Low OOB (Out-of-Band) emission is a big issue for cognitive radio Flexible waveforms are important to cognitive radio GFDM is a very good option for this scenario D2D Can help to enable some low latency applications in remote areas

5G-RANGE: Remote Area Access Network for the 5th Generation 5G-RANGE receives funding from the European Union Horizon 2020 Programme (H2020/2017-2019) under grant agreement n 777137 and from the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation of Brazil through Rede Nacional de Ensino e Pesquisa (RNP) under the 4 th EU-BR Coordinated Call Information and Communication Technologies.
Evolution Roadmap (2019-2021) Architecture Control Plane and Resource Allocation Prototypes for all scenarios Antennas Massive MIMO 5G Network MAC and PHY COmP Applications
Conclusions There are huge social problems in the world Keeping people disconnected increases these problems and is no longer acceptable The increase in broadband Internet access significantly influences the economy Agribusiness is very important for several countries, like Brazil 5G can offer a huge opportunity to address these questions, if the Remote Area Scenario is placed in focus
