Deployments of 5G networks

expectations from customers ?


  • fast downloading and streaming 4k videos , 8k videos
  • using  virtual reality sets



drawback of LTE : coverage


LTE coverage is still a bottleneck . In many country still the main network is 3G  and LTE is only on hi-dense urban areas.


improvements during deploymets


  • developing and improving Massive MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) by vendors in one of the key topic 


  • purpose of Massive MIMO is to  tune up base station capacity - it means that more sensors,things,devices (IoT ) are able to connect to 5G Base station.


core network

 Cisco set up collaboration with  Ericsson and Intel to develop first 5G router.
When it will be release ?  Date is unknown.


key aspects in deploymnets 5G :


- support  hi traffic volume
- plan and create core networks and 5G  architectures for handling not only UE and mobile wireless routers as it is in LTE , but also keep in mind :
           - machine-to-machine communication (M2M)
           - and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Reasons for movement from LTE to 5G



LTE deployments 

Since 2009 in world was time of small and bigger deployments of LTE NETWORK.
Unfortunatelly now is 2016 year and all of operator are using LTE NETWORK.

Only issue what is happen now are improvements of LTE NETWORK is way of adding additional functionalities to the LTE NETWORK or enhance network. 

Improve network capatity and throughput by aggregation 
of data streams (carrier agregation)

Working on 5G

Now the option of increase incomes is offering total brand new product as it is 5G
It can not be sell immediately . It needs time and first of all 5G standarad.

Intel 5G chipsets

Intel is looking for place in 5G network.Delivery processors is a method . No 5G architecture inpact of Intel.Oportunity will be processors.In annual  Intel Developer Forum which was organized in San Francisco was discussion about 5G world.
Background was IOT , sensors , autonomous vehicles. 

One of the output from discussion is : “We don’t know what the future will look like. If you look back to 2G networks, it was all about phones and voice, and then we started having the data revolution. By the time we were rolling out LTE [4G networks], we started requiring things that hadn’t been planned for when LTE was originally designed” 
said Keddy. 

Assumption  5G architecture



  •  software-defined networking (SDN)
  •  network function virtualisation (NFV)

5G key aspects

  •  air interfaces operating at millimetre wavelengths,
  •  data rates measured in gigabits per second,
  •  latency down to below 1ms for an end-to-end round trip delay.
