Seminar: A Tutorial on the 5G Ecosystem and Research Challenges

Seminar Title: A Tutorial on the 5G Ecosystem and Research Challenges

 

Presenter:  A/Prof Kumbesan Sandrasegaran

Time: 14:00, Thursday, 02/03/2017

Room: 105B1 (Phong Chuyen De Khoa Dien)

 

Abstract:  5G is the term currently used to collectively describe the next-generation of mobile networks beyond the 4G LTE and LTE-Advanced mobile networks. Early standards for 5G are expected to be released in 2017 by the ITU through the International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT)-2020 framework. Standard bodies worldwide along with mobile operators and vendors are actively participating in the standardization process. It is expected that 5G networks will become commercially available by 2020.

In the first part of the presentation, I will provide an introduction to 5G Mobile Communication including the evolution to 5G from 4G followed by 5G enabling technologies such as LTE and NX, Carrier Aggregation, COMP, HetNets, Relaying, D2D,  SDN, SDR , Cloud RAN, etc.,  and some early trials . In the second part of the presentation, I will present some of the research challenges facing 5G mobile networks.
