FRAMEWORK FOR ECONOMIC ROLLOUT OF 5G SERVICES - 1

4G / 4.5G LTE Networks are already providing ~ Gbit/s speeds using 4G / LTE standard with carrier aggregation using IMT bands below 2.6 GHz.

4G / 4.5G device already have 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz WIFI radios for enabling low cost data off-load service delivery.

Circa 70 80 % of mobile data traffic is carried by WIFI networks today.

4G / 4.5 LTE Networks will in near future providing > 1 Gbit/s speeds using 4G / LTE standard with carrier aggregation with IMT bands below 2.6 GHz and at 3.4 GHz.

4G / 4.5G device will in 2017 onwards have 60 GHz WIGIG radios for enabling very high data (up 10 10 Gbit/sec) off-load service delivery.

In 2017, ~ 200 million 60 WIGIG radio shipped. By 2020, over 1 billion 60 GHz WIGIG radios shipped

Note: MNOs top priority is to monetise their huge investments in 3G / 4G / 4.5 G networks.

FRAMEWORK FOR ECONOMIC ROLLOUT OF 5G SERVICES - 2

This leads to the future 5G / IMT-2020 ecosystem which can be most economically achieved by current and new MNOs in terms of cost, capacity, QOS and coverage.

Future 5G device will be multi-band-radios supporting - LTE/4.5G in bands below 3.[4] GHz for wide area coverage

- 4.5 G or 5G in bands above 31 GHz for high capacity / indoor / near-indoor use - GHz WIFI, 60 GHz WIGIG and 66+ GHz 5G.

- Technology used for 60 GHz WIGIG can be efficiently reused to develop > 66 Ghz 5G / IMT-2020 systems

- > 66 GHz 5G/IMT will also offer very high data rate (> 1 Gbit/sec) services.

SATELLITES PLAY A KEY ROLE IN 5G SERVICE DELIVERY

The introduction of very High Throughput Satellites (HTS) brings down the communication costs significantly

Satellite networks are better suited for specific verticals targeted by 5G than terrestrial only solutions, including:

Highly secure enterprise networks Highly distributed (global) small/medium size

networks o Content distribution Dispersed M2M networks .

Satellite can usefully and viably complement terrestrial solutions for a large number of heterogeneous use cases:

Ubiquitous coverage High speed networks Standby and overspill

5G Vision Users should be able to receive access to the services that they desire from any device, anywhere, anytime whether they are in an urban, sub-urban or rural area. How to achieve the 5G To achieve this, it will be necessary to integrate various access technologies in order to interwork with each other, which should include a combination of different fixed, terrestrial mobile and satellite networks.

ITU RES ON TO DETERMINE THE SPECTRUM NEEDS FOR THE TERRESTRIAL COMPONENT OF IMT

Resolution 238 (WRC-15) resolves to invite ITU-R 1. 2. to conduct and complete in time for WRC-19 the appropriate sharing and compatibility studies, taking into account the protection of services to which the band is allocated on a primary basis, for the frequency bands: 24.25-27.5 GHz2, 37-40.5 GHz, 42.5-43.5 GHz, 45.5-47 GHz, 47.2-50.2 GHz, 50.4-52.6 GHz, 66-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz, which have allocations to the mobile service on a primary basis; and 31.8-33.4 GHz, 40.5-42.5 GHz and 47-47.2 GHz, which may require additional allocations to the mobile service on a primary basis, further resolves 1. . 2. to invite WRC-19 to consider, based on the results of the above studies, additional

spectrum allocations to the mobile service on a primary basis and to consider identification of frequency bands for the terrestrial component of IMT; the bands to be considered being limited to part or all of the bands listed in resolves to invite ITU-R ,

Sufficient spectrum from which to find more spectrum for IMT/mobile/5G

Important to stick to these bands, which were identified on the basis of global consensus at WRC-2015.

Global harmonization of spectrum is key to the development of wireless telecommunications both satellite and terrestrial IMT.

Studies on channel measurement, modeling and coexistence are ongoing work.

New global bands below 6GHz fromWRC-15

2015 2019 Low-frequency bands below 6 GHz are always necessary for IMT / IMT-2020 High-frequency bands within 31 - 100 GHz

can be introduced in 2019 and beyond
