8
NEW AIR INTERFACE
 Polar Codes – Polar Codes have clear and simple encoding and
decoding algorithms, and the error correction performance currently
achievable by Polar Codes is superior to those in use. 3GPP has
adopted Polar codes for the eMBB (Enhanced Mobile Broadband)
control channels for the 5G NR (New Radio) interface.
 LDPC- Or Low Density Parity Check has been adopted by 3GPP for use
in data channels for the 5G NR (New Radio) interface.

9
 Millimeter Wave
At the radio side, millimeter waves (mmW) are being considered
for :
 Small cell backhaul - wireless backhaul appears to be a better and
affordable solution than fiber for the complex mix of small-cell locations
 Radio Interface: With the spectrum crunch, cellular phones may also use
mmW through the use of highly directional antennas with beam forming

10
MASSIVE MIMO
 Massive multiple-input, multiple-output, or massive MIMO, is an
extension of MIMO, which essentially groups together antennas at
the transmitter and receiver to provide better throughput and
better spectrum efficiency.
 For example: 128-antenna array in a 64-transmit/64-receive
configuration.

11
OTHER RADIO SIDE FEATURES

 Beam Forming

 Supplemental Uplink
 Carrier Aggregation across FDD TDD

12
MOBILE EDGE COMPUTING (MEC)
In-network content caching provided by the operator, a 3rd party or
both, can improve user experience, reduce backhaul resource usage
and utilize radio resource efficiently.
The operation of in-network caching includes flexible management of
the location of the content cache within the network and efficient
delivery of content to and from the appropriate content caching
application.

13
MEC
CCTV camera live feed is monitored and processed at the MEC server
near the LTE Base Station.
Only video clips, meta data, triggers etc. which are low bandwidth
are sent to the core network. This improves the response time and
reduces the load on the backhaul.
One application could be to public safety, Smart cities etc.

14
 C-RAN (Cloud RAN)
An efficient way of deploying small cells could be could be
to separate the base station functionality into two-
 the distributed remote radio units (RU)
 BaseBand Unit
 and connecting the two using low latency,
high bandwidth transport network.
• The BBUs can be a cloud providing centralized resource
aggregation and pooling.
• This architecture is known as the C-RAN or Cloud RAN.
• As C-RAN is based on the cloud, Virtualisation can also be
added to it.

15
NETWORK SLICING
Network slicing allows the operator to provide customised networks.
For example, there can be different requirements on functionality
(e.g., priority, charging, policy control, security, and mobility),
differences in performance requirements (e.g., latency, mobility,
availability, reliability and data rates), or they can serve only specific
users (e.g., MPS users, Public Safety users, corporate customers,
roamers, or hosting an MVNO).
A network slice can provide the functionality of a complete network,
including radio access network functions and core network functions
(e.g., potentially from different vendors). One network can support
one or several network slices.

16
17
INFORMATION CENTRIC NETWORKING
 The basic idea of ICN is to enrich network-layer
functions with content awareness so that routing,
forwarding, caching and data transfer operations are
performed on topology-independent content names
rather than on IP addresses.
 The growing deployment of Network Function
Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking
(SDN) allows for rapid insertion of new routing
techniques such as ICN.
 ITU-T SG 13 has approved new standard on
Information Centric Networking-”Y.3071: Data Aware
Networking Requirements and Capabilities”

18
3GPP NR
 Early completion of the Non-standalone (NSA) 5G NR mode for the
enhanced Mobile Broad Band (eMBB) use-case. In Non-standalone mode
the connection is anchored in LTE while 5G NR carriers are used to boost
data-rates and reduce latency .
 NSA will be finalized by March 2018.
 The Standalone (SA) 5G NR mode by September 2018
