Invited Talk : "Nokia 5G System Design"
Dr. Hao Guan, Radio Systems Research Manager, Nokia
Abstract:
The use cases and requirements for 5G will be more diverse than for any of previous generation. 5G will need to be scalable and flexible so that a broad range of use cases ranging from instant downloads of huge files to remotely-controlled robot applications can be accommodated with TCO efficiency and sufficient quality of service. 5G will deliver x10,000 capacity increase, peak data rates higher than 10 Gbit/s, and a minimum perceived user data rate of 100 Mbit/s will be achievable even under heavy network load or at cell edge but also virtually zero latency to support tactile communication, real time control or augmented reality and high reliability – for the users to experience no limits in connectivity on any service they decide to use but also for connected machines to accommodate mission-critical use cases and real time control. We’ll discuss the key technology enablers, and share our cm-wave research and mm-wave research result, together with several key technique components like Duplexing scheme, Massive antenna. At the end an estimated timeline for 5G research, standardization and commercialization will be presented.

Invited Talk : "5G – Post Smartphone Era"
Mr. Gu Liang, Senior Project Manager, Huawei Technologies
Abstract:
5G will extend its service from enhanced mobile broadband to vertical markets such as connected cars, industry automation and smart metering. This grand vision leads to a set of requirements and challenges. 5G wireless networks will support a 1,000-fold gain in capacity, with connections for at least 100 billion devices, and a 10 Gbps individual user experience capable of extremely low latency and response times. There are many questions arising: what are the key requirements for 5G wireless? Is there a need to design a new radio access technology? What are key enabling technologies? This talk will first elaborate the implications of 5G vision and requirements on air interface and network architecture design principles. Then we will highlight several key technologies which will enable an adaptive and unified air interface design. With such a framework, it is feasible to optimize the system design based on service, device capability, mobility, deployment scenarios and spectrum usage and provide a mechanism for future service expansion. Finally, recent progresses of Huawei's 5G research will be presented.

Invited Talk : "Carrying Your Own Coverage: Mobile Personal Cell in 5G Mobile Network"
Dr. Chung G. Kang, Professor, Korea University
Abstract:
Small cells are envisaged as one of the key technologies to cope up with explosion of mobile data traffic as they are vital to improving the areal capacity by mobile data offloading and spectral reuse in the cellular system. In fact, cellular capacity has been steadily increased by deploying the small cell in the smaller site, e.g., pico-cell and femto-cell, ever since its inception. What would be the ultimate form of small cell? Imagine a portable and invisible base station which can be carried to provide the cellular coverage on the move. Naturally, it uses wireless backhaul and sidehaul, overcoming the limitation of the fixed cells. Due to its flexibility and portability, one’s own coverage can be carried at anywhere, even facilitating elimination of the cell-edge. We also have a conjecture that the personal mobile cell can be a part of mobile content distribution network (mCDN), caching the traffic-intense video contents opportunistically or cooperatively in the edge cloud. Due to the ubiquitous nature of connected objects in the Internet of Things (IoT), meanwhile, the envisaged personal mobile cell can be implemented as a cost-effective IoT access point, which supports a massive number of IoT devices with low overhead and extremely high energy efficiency. This story would make sense when individual smart phones are turned into the tiny portable base stations in the future. In this talk, we want to share this rather disruptive and immature vision on mobile personal cell through introduction of the on-going related projects to 5G industry and research community.

Invited Talk : "5G with Networked Society"
Dr. Dongjoo Park, Director, Ericsson-LG
Abstract:
5G will enable the long-term Networked Society and realize the vision of unlimited access to information for anyone and anything. This vision will be achieved by the evolved versions of today’s radio-access technologies (RATs), including LTE and HSPA, with complementary RATs for specific use cases, not by replacing existing technologies. Over the past few decades, there have been significant enhancements made to mobile communication networks. This in turn has led to a massive increase in novel applications and use cases for mobile connectivity, as well as exponential growth in the network traffic. However, we have still only just begun making the transition into a fully connected Networked Society in which everything that will benefit from a connection will be connected. To enable the realization of Networked Society, several key challenges should be addressed by the future radio access solution: massive growth in traffic volume, massive growth in connected devices and wide range of requirements/characteristics with supporting affordable and sustainable network. Different solutions will be implemented to address different challenges. Evolved versions of existing RATs will be complemented with new ones targeting specific scenarios and use cases that would not otherwise be accommodated. The result can be referred to as 5G radio access as it takes user experience and overall system performance a step beyond what 4G can currently provide.

Invited Talk : "Cooperative MIMO Communication in the Cellular Network"
Dr. Sungcheol Chang, Director, ETRI
Abstract:
As the wireless data traffic continues to increase rapidly due to the spread of smart mobile devices, a new wireless communication system, i.e., 5G, is acutely needed to use efficiently the radio resource and increase the capacity. One of the goals aspired in the 5G wireless communication system is the cellular network capacity 1,000 times higher than the current wireless communication system. Multi-input multi-output (MIMO) technology is an important key to achieve the goal with dense network and wide spectrum. Theoretically, the capacity of the wireless network increases linearly with the number of transmit and receive antennas by MIMO technology which provides spatial diversity and multiplexing gain. However, there are some problems such as implementation complexity or undesirable characteristics of MIMO channel for mounting multiple antennas in mobile devices. Although various advanced MIMO technologies such as multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) or cooperative multi-point transmission (CoMP) are proposed, it is insufficient to meet the requirements of 5G wireless communication systems. In this talk, we introduce a ‘Cooperative MIMO’ technology for linear growth of the capacity in 5G Wireless communication systems. In cooperative MIMO technology, a mobile station configures a cluster with neighboring cooperative devices and MIMO transmission and reception are performed between the base station and cluster. The cooperative devices may be other mobile stations or equipment deployed by network operators and users. The transmitted and received signals are relayed by cooperative devices through the same radio resource used by other clusters. Of course interference signals occur by the re-use of the radio resource. If the performance improvement caused by cooperation between devices is larger than the performance degradation caused by the re-use of radio resource, the network capacity will increase linearly with the number of devices in a cluster.

Invited Talk : "E2E SDN/NFV and Virtual Integrated Network Edge Architecture"
Dr. Nakjung Choi, Technical Director, Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent
Abstract:
Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN) are considered by many to be the two forces that will shape the future of telecommunications networks. Firstly, NFV involves porting network or telecommunications applications that today typically run on dedicated and specialized hardware platforms to a virtualized cloud infrastructure. Secondly, SDN involves increasing the network’s ability to dynamically adapt to the needs of applications and services; that is, to make the network more programmable. The two concepts are closely linked because the programmability of SDN will greatly enhance the performance and flexibility of NFV applications by allowing dynamic placement of resources and performing the choreographed networking to connect them. In this talk, E2E SDN/NFV vision and challenges will be discussed. Also, an architectural reversal is defined by the creation of a singular, distributed IP network architecture for all services that is defined by a new ‘edge’ location, comprised of a set of key virtualized integrated network edge (VINE) functions, that offers superior services delivery, scalability and economics.

Invited Talk : "Global IoT Standardization Trends and Its Prospect (oneM2M perspective)"
Dr. JaeSeung Song, Professor, Sejong University
Abstract:
The Internet of Things (IoT) is gaining ground in various vertical domains such as healthcare, home automation and public services. Since IoT connects all smart objects and enables them to communicate with each other, the intelligent services introduced by IoT will provide a huge impact on our everyday life. However, this requires a common and open platform satisfying all different needs from various stakeholders and verticals. In order for such a common service platform to be useful, an international standard is required to utilise interoperability. Many of standardization bodies including not only international standards organizations, but also de-facto/regional/national standards development organizations have been developing standards to support of lots of feasible IoT applications and services. This talk, therefore, will provide the effort of oneM2M standardisation activities for IoT/M2M common service platforms.

Dr. Howon Kim, Professor, Pusan National University
Abstract:
Usually, IoT services require a lot of different technologies for providing their intended services. For example, in a smart home application, a device gathers private information and ambient information with its sensors and then sends the gathered data to a service application through a proper network infrastructure. In the service applications, the gathered data is processed and analyzed for extracting higher level information, that is, knowledge about the environment, devices or even human. Such a feature of comprising many technologies causes a potential point of vulnerability. Therefore, each IoT component should need multifaceted security solutions such as confidentiality, access control, authentication/authorization and privacy preserving techniques, etc. Also, because the interdependencies of each IoT components cause new vulnerability of IoT systems, IoT services should be carefully designed and integrated with considering proper security and privacy issues. In this talk, the security and privacy issues in IoT services are presented and detailed security techniques in IoT components are discussed.
