Keynote Speech 1:
"Future of ICT Convergence Technologies"
Dr. Heung Nam Kim, President, ETRI
Abstract:
The prolonged global economic stagnation increases the uncertainties in both market and technology, which results in a waste of the resources of R&D, manufacturing and marketing. Although the R&D share of Korea’s GDP is at a top-ranked global level, the outflows of the core value seem to be still serious because of its high dependence on the foreign technologies. Based on the ICT convergence technologies, the era of ‘Smart’ brings about the future society for mankind, which is human, healthy, and environment-friendly. Particularly, ICT is similar to “vitamin”. As an essential fusion-enabler that is applicable to all areas of industry, ICT plays a role of the sustainable growth engine and economic driving force. In this talk, 8 ICT megatrends and 10 future technologies are briefly presented. In order to predict the ICT megatrend and future technologies, we analyze and evaluate a variety of keywords and trends in both social and technical aspects, and finally select 10 future technologies for ICT convergence.

Keynote Speech 2:
"Fostering Innovation and Moving Towards the 5G Era"
Dr. Edward G. Tiedemann Jr., Senior Vice President & Qualcomm Fellow,
Qualcomm Inc.
Abstract:
The modern history of human progress is intertwined with the history of invention – from the steam ship to the airplane, the light bulb to the X-ray machine, the telegraph to the smartphone. Korea has long encouraged innovation in the mobile industry which has been one of the key contributors fueling the IT sector - the growth engine for the Korean economy. Indeed, Korea was the first country to adopt CDMA in 1993 and the first country to launch a LTE-Advanced smartphone in 2014.
Qualcomm’s partnerships with Korean handset manufacturers helped make CDMA commercially successful. This success enabled Korean handset manufacturers to expand their presence selling CDMA network equipment and handsets globally. Korean manufacturers’ success in the CDMA mobile telecommunication helped propel Korean companies into household global names.
This presentation will cover how Qualcomm inventions helped launch the mobile revolution and can now be found in billions of devices around the world, from smartphones and tablets, to cameras and cars, and the “Internet of Everything”. Qualcomm will highlight its vision for 5G, a unified, scalable and adaptable standard that works across various use cases and supports the connectivity needs from 2020+ at lower deployment and operating costs. 5G is about enabling new services and devices, connecting new industries and empowering new user experiences.
The presentation will also emphasize that strong patent protection globally encourages innovation. Investment in research and development by companies and individuals and the ability to patent these technologies has resulted in life-changing technologies, including the technologies that make possible the wireless communications that define our world today.
Finally, Qualcomm will discuss the role of governments in enabling innovation in the move towards 5G emphasizing the importance of sound spectrum policy including licensed, shared licensed and unlicensed spectrum. To meet the growing traffic demand, operators will need much more spectrum in the years ahead. In the past, new spectrum was made available by the traditional licensed model or unlicensed approach. However, there are cases when spectrum can’t be cleared within a reasonable timeframe, or at all locations and times. A new licensed model, called Authorized Shared Access (ASA), will allow operators to access the underutilized spectrum on a shared basis without interfering with incumbent spectrum holders.

Keynote Speech 3:
"Video Communications in Future Mobile Networks"
Dr. Sun-Tae Kim, CTO, Executive Vice President of LG Uplus.
Abstract:
Through the LTE with the ALL-IP mobile network, we can now savor various unlimited contents that are extended from the conventional voice, message, and limited multi-media services, and we are also able to participate/share and communicate with anyone from all over the world by the social networking services. Recently, the mobile service is becoming feasible for machines with Internet of Things (IoT), not limited to humans. The core of contents is becoming "video" instead of texts or pictures. From the conventional communication scheme for reading and hearing, the service trend is heading toward "Video Communications" for participation/sharing and communication which makes people look, hear, and feel. In this talk, various network-related challenges we may face according to the service trend evolution such as increase in traffic, the number of mobile terminals, and the corresponding costs will be addressed, and the network/service strategy to resolve the issues will also be discussed.

Keynote Speech 4:
"5G Journey"
Dr. Vida Ilderem, Vice President, Intel Corporation
Abstract:
Mobile communication started from voice and developed to video and data services then evolved to connect to the Internet with the advent of smart phones. Proliferation of smart phones, affordable broadband internet access, and rise of the intelligent things/objects are creating a virtuous cycle requiring rapid innovation in the wireless domain. Additionally, the majority of the mobile traffic growth is dominated by video, further stressing the existing infrastructure. Users now expect high data rates, ubiquitous broadband connectivity, and low latency instant access. Hence, it is imperative that the technologies/services that we innovate and deliver are optimized for user experiences. 5G era can provide a great opportunity to address some of the unfolding requirements along with a set of metrics to closely monitor the progress. For instance, the need for new network topologies can lead to innovations in dense heterogeneous networks containing multiple radio technologies, small cells, D2D, new high frequency spectrum such as mm-wave, and so on. Given the anticipated increase in the number of connected devices including things, there will be a need for context-aware infrastructure requiring more processing at the edge of the network for data aggregation and for determining when information needs to be shared with other nodes in the network or the cloud. Therefore, 5G journey should encompass the need to co-optimize the network, device, and applications to deliver the best user experience.
