14. EU 5G Readiness map

• The maps shows how ready EU
countries are to launch 5G.
• The readiness score comprises 6
factor categories.
• The results show that there is a
significant gap between Western
and Eastern Europe, with countries
in the former being, on average,
more ready to introduce 5G.
• Also, there appears to be a high
correlation between a country’s 5G
readiness score and its geographic
position, which creates 3 ‘clusters’ of
countries across Europe.

15. Spectrum
Effective Spectrum Pricing Supporting Better Quality and More Affordable Mobile Services
With the increase in spectrum bandwidth to support high data traffic in a 4G and 5G world, fair pricing techniques will become ever more important to
support efficient spectrum allocation, promote healthy investment in networks and encourage sustainable competition to support affordable services.

16. Recommendations on Spectrum
Spectrum
100 MHz per operator will be needed to make the most benefits of the 3400-3800 MHz spectrum.
Contiguous spectrum is recommended to improve network efficiency, prevent its fragmentation and scarcity.
A combination of high, medium and low bands is required to address a wide range of usage scenarios and
requirements.
It’s critical to ensure affordable access to spectrum for 5G. Auctions represent a fair regime by providing a
rational market value of dedicated exclusive spectrum to users who value it the most; therefore auctions:
- should be designed to stimulate spectrum usage
- should be designed to maximise benefit for society
- should be designed to stimulate investments in infrastructure

17. Key Takeaways
17
• The EU has all the “ingredients” to lead 5G adoption. Key will be how those ingredients will be mixed.
• 5G will be adopted faster than its predecessors. Widen installed customer base, higher tech savviness, fiercer
operator competition and faster smartphone price erosion will drive this.
• 5G take-up will accelerate after 2022. Coverage expansion, network upgrade from NSA to SA, device price
erosion, technology maturity, availability of 5G-enabled devices and introduction of advanced services and
applications will drive this.
• W. Europe will have over 150m 5G subscriptions by 2023. This figure is over 9x higher than the 4G
subscriptions after the launch of 4G on a like-for-like basis.
• A handful of countries will launch in 2019, though the bulk of them will go live in 2020, inline with EU’s digital
agenda targets.
• E. Europe will have over 30m 5G subscriptions by 2023. This figure is over 7x higher than the 4G subscriptions
after the launch of 4G on a like-for-like basis. Several countries will launch 5G in 2020, though its take-up will
lag behind that of W. Europe.
Thank you very much Scott, good afternoon everyone.
When I was putting together the presentation , I was not entirely sure about who the audience would be. In any case representing the technology providers I thought about structuring the presentation so that I would cover what 5G is all about, in terms of services and applications.
What we as a company have been doing about it.
Where are we now in terms of standardization and implementation
Key aspects critical to the success of 5G.
I will obviously address each part from a European angle
In February 2017, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) issued the Minimum Requirements Related to Technical Performance for 5G. The report officially names 5G as "International Mobile Telecommunications-2020 (IMT-2020), and defines the specifications for the technical performance of 5G. The Radiocommunication Sector of ITU (ITU-R) defines eight quantified KPIs for IMT-2020: peak data rate, user experienced data rate, spectrum efficiency, latency, area traffic capacity, connection density, mobility, and network energy efficiency.
1000 times higher mobile data volume per geographical area., 10 to 100 times more connected devices. 10 times to 100 times higher typical user data rate.10 times lower energy consumption.
End-to-End latency of < 1ms. Ubiquitous 5G access including in low density areas.
5G will mainly serve three scenarios: (1) Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) (2) Massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC) (3) Ultra-reliable and Low Latency Communications (URLLC)
5G will mainly serve three scenarios: (1) Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) eMBB will support ultra-HD video, next-generation social networking, immersive gaming, etc., improving interactive experience. (2) Massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC) mMTC will integrate mobile communications and massive machine type communications. Typical applications include smart city and smart home. (3) Ultra-reliable and Low Latency Communications (URLLC) URLLC will support many industry applications, such as connected cars, ehealth, and industrial Internet.
Huawei began research on 5G in 2009 and produced our first prototype in 2012 as a proof of concept. And Huawei has built up broad cooperation with universities and institutes to promote the progresses of basic technologies since then. We have released 300 + papers on 5G related technologies， including new air technologies, new architecture, etc (till 2017).
It must be stressed that as part of our cooperation any patent and Key technology remains with the institutions, our main focus here is about developing local capacity.

For countries holding spectrum awards from 2008-2016, we developed a 4G wireless score, which measures the quality and uptake of next-generation data services. We found that countries with lower spectrum costs have higher wireless scores than those with higher costs, after allowing for differences in economic development. We also found that countries with lower spectrum costs have lower consumer prices for data.
Affordable access to spectrum for 5G
Auctions represent a fair regime by providing a rational market value of dedicated exclusive spectrum to users who value it the most; therefore auctions:
• Should be designed to stimulate spectrum usage
• Should be designed to maximise benefit for society
• Should be designed to stimulate investments in infrastructure
Non-contiguous aggregation of two (or more) channels will always result in a loss of usable spectrum, and hence a degradation in performance when compared to a contiguous block of the same amount of spectrum
Separate blocks increase the signaling overhead and reduce flexibility in the configuration of the radio resources
In scenarios where part of the band becomes available at a later date, administrations should consider very carefully the choice between a two phased release, and a delayed release of all spectrum. A two phased release
Puts some spectrum in the hands of the users quickly, so that operators can start deploying 5G early
But causes fragmentation, brings uncertainty to bidders about how much spectrum they will eventually get, and generates scarcity which drives prices up
