Session 2: Providing the spectrum to fuel the 5G eco-system

In order for 5G to realise its potential, it is crucial that sufficient spectrum is made available in the appropriate frequency bands. Against the backdrop of the outcomes of WRC-15, this session will look at the extent to which the candidate bands that have been proposed for discussion at WRC-19 will be sufficient to meet the broad range of requirements of the various 5G technologies in both rural and urban environments. First we will hear from representatives from vertical industries on the connectivity that their sector requires in order to maximise the potential of 5G, and then experts from regions around the world will discuss how these requirements can be met.

- What different connectivity requirements are seen across vertical sectors as they look to ensure the potential of 5G is maximised?
- What were the outcomes of WRC-15 when it comes to spectrum for 5G, and what does this mean for industry and policymakers?
- What will be the role in 5G delivery for the different parts of the frequency band, and what will the decisions taken to focus on millimeter bands for 5G technologies at WRC-19 mean for stakeholders?
- What will this mean for frequency bands below 24Ghz that weren’t specifically identified for consideration for 5G?
- Which bands are likely to see 5G deployment first in regions around the world?
- Where can the spectrum be found to meet the demand for 5G, both in terms of providing the additional capacity and also achieving ubiquitous coverage?
- What work now needs to be done prior to WRC-19 to ensure that the correct decisions are made on spectrum assignment for 5G, and to ensure a smooth deployment in 2020?
- Which bands are likely to see 5G deployment first, and to what extent can requirements be met by operators refarming existing spectrum rather than seeking new bands?

Session 3: Plotting the path to 2020 and beyond

As we continue to move forward with the development of 5G technologies and solutions, we move closer and closer to realising the vision of connectivity for people and objects everywhere. 2020 is universally seen as the target for wide scale 5G rollout, but this is not where the challenge will end – it is estimated that 5G technologies will peak in around 2040, so it is essential that the groundwork that is being put in now does not only consider the short term requirements for network rollout, but also looks beyond to the requirements to enable its growth and a sustainable future. This session will plot both the short and long term path to widespread 5G adoption by first looking at the transition period in the lead-up to 2020 and how to best manage the shift from 4G to 5G; and then to the longer term future and at the challenges and opportunities ahead as we look to ensure a sustainable 5G future.

Session 4: Delivering a robust and secure 5G network

The overall success of 5G networks is dependent on the development of a secure and robust environment that provides users with a safe, fast and reliable connectivity and underpins the future generation of applications and services. This session will look at the work that is being done in this area and best practices as we move forward in developing solutions to overcome the new security challenges that will be posed by 5G networks. Following 2 presentations looking generally at 5G security issues, we will hear case studies focusing on projects that are currently being undertaken by research and tech communities, which will lead into a discussion on the key issue of co-ordination and the work that is being done to ensure that common and interoperable solutions are achieved.

- What new security challenges will 5G bring, and how can these be overcome so that 5G has a positive impact on network reliability, security and robustness?
- To what extent can 5G security be a carbon copy of 4G security, or are there fundamental new security requirements that are needed?
- How important is it that a common approach to security is adopted and what work is being done in this area?

Co-ordinated by the 5G Innovation Centre (5GIC) in collaboration with Rohde & Schwartz and Cobham Wireless, this session will offer delegates the opportunity to gain first-hand experience of 5G technology in action. Through a mixture of interactive workshops and live demonstrations, experts in the field will showcase a range of different 5G technologies and applications, offering insight into the benefits that they could offer and their potential place in a future 5G eco-system.

The demonstrations will include:

- A system level 5G Massive MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) system
Offering the potential to accommodate more users at higher data rates with better reliability while consuming less power

- 5G Channel Sounding solutions at millimeter wave range
Offering support of 5G channel modeling work in 3GPP standardization

- Measurements of 5G Waveform Candidates at millimeter wave range with bandwidths up to 2 GHz
Tools to enable the analysis of the signal quality of newly defined 5G waveforms in order to investigate their performance capabilities.

- An innovative 5G Internet of Things system
