Ericsson Technology Review: The future of cloud computing: Highly distributed...Ericsson
The growing interest in cloud computing scenarios that incorporate both distributed computing capabilities and heterogeneous hardware presents a significant opportunity for network operators. With a vast distributed system (the telco network) already in place, the telecom industry has a significant advantage in the transition toward distributed cloud computing.
This Ericsson Technology Review article explores the future of cloud computing from the perspective of network operators, examining how they can best manage the complexity of future cloud deployments and overcome the technical challenges. Redefining cloud to expose and optimize the use of heterogeneous resources is not straightforward, but we are confident that our use cases and proof points validate our approach and will gain traction both in the telecommunications community and beyond.
Ericsson Technology Review: Optimizing UICC modules for IoT applicationsEricsson
Commonly referred to as SIM cards, the universal integrated circuit cards (UICCs) used in all cellular devices today are in fact complex and powerful minicomputers capable of much more than most Internet of Things (IoT) applications require. Until a simpler and less costly alternative becomes available, action must be taken to ensure that the relatively high price of UICC modules does not hamper IoT growth.
This Ericsson Technology Review article presents two mid-term approaches. The first is to make use of techniques that reduce the complexity of using UICCs in IoT applications, while the second is to use the UICCs’ excess capacity for additional value generation. Those who wish to exploit the potential of the UICCs to better support IoT applications have the opportunity to use them as cryptographic storage, to run higher-layer protocol stacks and/or as supervisory entities, for example.
Mobile data traffic volumes are expected to increase by a factor of four by 2025, and 45 percent of that traffic will be carried by 5G networks. To deliver on customer expectations in this rapidly changing environment, communication service providers must overcome challenges in three key areas: building sufficient capacity, resolving operational inefficiencies through automation and artificial intelligence, and improving service differentiation. This issue of ETR magazine provides insights about how to tackle all three.
Ericsson Technology Review: 5G BSS: Evolving BSS to fit the 5G economyEricsson
The 5G network evolution has opened up an abundance of new business opportunities for communication service providers (CSPs) in verticals such as industrial automation, security, health care and automotive. In order to successfully capitalize on them, CSPs must have business support systems (BSS) that are evolved to manage complex value chains and support new business models. Optimized information models and a high degree of automation are required to handle huge numbers of devices through open interfaces.
This Ericsson Technology Review article explains how 5G-evolved BSS can help CSPs transform themselves from traditional network developers to service enablers for 5G and the Internet of Things, and ultimately to service creators with the ability to collaborate beyond telecoms and establish lucrative digital value systems.
Ericsson Technology Review: 5G migration strategy from EPS to 5G systemEricsson
For many operators, the introduction of the 5G System (5GS) to provide wide-area services in existing Evolved Packet System (EPS) deployments is a necessary step toward creating a full-service, future-proof 5GS in the longer term. The creation of a combined 4G-5G network requires careful planning and a holistic strategy, as the introduction of 5GS has significant impacts across all network domains, including the RAN, packet core, user data and policies, and services, as well as affecting devices and backend systems.
This Ericsson Technology Review article provides an overview of all the aspects that operators need to consider when putting together a robust EPS-to-5GS migration strategy and provides guidance about how they can adapt the transition to address their particular needs per domain.
Ericsson Technology Review: Creating the next-generation edge-cloud ecosystemEricsson
The surge in data volume that will come from the massive number of devices enabled by 5G has made edge computing more important than ever before. Beyond its abilities to reduce network traffic and improve user experience, edge computing will also play a critical role in enabling use cases for ultra-reliable low-latency communication in industrial manufacturing and a variety of other sectors.
This Ericsson Technology Review article explores the topic of how to deliver distributed edge computing solutions that can host different kinds of platforms and applications and provide a high level of flexibility for application developers. Rather than building a new application ecosystem and platform, we strongly recommend reusing industrialized and proven capabilities, utilizing the momentum created with Cloud Native Computing Foundation, and ensuring backward compatibility.
The rise of the innovation platform
Society and industry are transforming at an unprecedented rate. At the same time, the network platform is emerging as an innovation platform with the potential to offer all the connectivity, processing, storage and security needed by current and future applications.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

2. 2 ERICSSON MOBILITY REPORT EUROPE JUNE 2014
MARKET OVERVIEW
Europe has mixed levels of maturity in its ICT (Information
and Communications Technology) industry, from very
advanced markets like Sweden, through to those in
Eastern Europe that are still developing. However, these
differences are getting smaller. Europe has the highest
mobile penetration in the world – most countries reached
above 100 percent 2 to 3 years ago, and some even
earlier. It is difficult to make general assumptions about
penetration based on geography or income levels.
Emerging markets such as Russia or Kazakhstan now have
amongst the highest mobile penetration levels in Europe.
Multi-SIM and multiple devices
Penetration rates are significantly affected by Multi-SIM
ownership, as European consumers have an average of
1.2–1.3 mobile subscriptions each. There are different
reasons for multi-SIM behavior in Western and
Eastern Europe. One of the reasons for Eastern Europe’s
high penetration levels is the high number of inactive
SIM cards. However the share of such subscriptions is
decreasing every year. Another reason is that people in the
region often buy additional SIM cards to economize, while
in Western Europe they do so in order to have a mobile
connection for more than one device.
For example, in Poland 30 percent of users have more
than one SIM, and a quarter of these want to take
advantage of cheaper calls. In the UK, 37 percent of
multi-SIM users do so to connect another device.1
This
trend in Western Europe is supported by recent operator
strategies to optimize tariffs by launching services such as
special shared data plans for those with multiple devices.
Such services are also being aimed at families as they
will enable multiple users on one account. This simplifies
the management of subscriptions and helps control costs
across family members. For operators, this may help to
reduce churn.
Multi-device behavior has become more common in Eastern
Europe too, and has initially appeared in big cities. Ericsson
research shows that a third of internet users in Moscow use
three different devices – smartphones, tablets and laptops
– to access the internet, depending on the situation. Not all
of these internet-capable devices are directly connected
to cellular networks. In Russia as a whole, 19 percent of
respondents with more than one SIM card stated that their
additional cards were for multiple devices. This highlights a
closing gap in maturity levels between Western and Eastern
Europe that is especially pronounced between cities in the
two regions.
Mobile broadband and smartphone development
Mobile broadband is a key driver for market growth. As
smartphones, other 3G/4G-enabled devices and data
packages become more affordable, the range of mobile
data applications grows. Consumer behavior in
Eastern Europe is now shifting from voice-centric to data
and app-centric. In Western Europe, we can already see
mass demand for apps and services that significantly
change everyday life.
The continued growth in smartphone penetration has
brought with it a correlated shift in user behavior. For
example, in countries with greater smartphone adoption,
there are significant changes in the way consumers
access internet services. This is especially true in Norway,
Sweden, the UK and the Netherlands. Smartphones are
now commonplace in these countries, with the device’s
penetration levels among internet users now above or well
above 60 percent. This means that it could potentially be
the primary device for accessing any internet services.
Instant messaging and games are the two apps for which
the smartphone is becoming the device of choice. This is
followed by social networks and news services, as shown
in the graph on the opposite page. This is a common
development for mature markets that are evolving from a
PC-centric position. However, in many developing markets
around the world, the smartphone is the primary device for
all internet services – leapfrogging the PC stage.

3. EUROPE JUNE 2014 ERICSSON MOBILITY REPORT 3
The chart above shows that the smartphone is already the
primary device for some services in markets with a high
mobile penetration, as illustrated in column A (all internet
users aged 16-60). This trend is more pronounced if we
just analyze smartphone users. This is shown in column
B (a subset of the internet users in column A that also
own a smartphone) and is illustrated by the increase in
the number of services for which the smartphone is the
primary device, and the number of countries where it now
appears as the primary device.
This change in behavior is driven by the fact that
smartphones enable users to always be connected and
have instant access to services. This type of usage fits with
the flow of everyday life and satisfies the consumer need
to be up-to-date and connected. The trend for constant
connection is expected to continue across Europe as
smartphone penetration increases. This is further reflected
by the fact that 50 percent of people who are looking to
buy a new smartphone state that one of the most important
factors for getting the device is to be able to use it anytime
and anywhere. In addition to this, a further 35 percent
state that keeping in touch with friends via a number
of different applications is most important to them.2
The further development of more applications and
cloud technologies will support this change, seeing the
smartphone become the primary device for more internet
services. It is not the primary device for video today, but it
plays a significant role in this area. For example, Ericsson
consumer research into active TV and internet users
shows that 62 percent of Germans use a tablet, laptop
or a smartphone to watch TV or video on a weekly basis,
and 27 percent use any of those mobile devices to watch
TV or video outside of the home on the same basis. This
type of usage is typical in Western Europe, and even
more pronounced in Sweden, where viewing outside
of the home jumps to 42 percent. In France, one in four
state that they watch video on a smartphone on a weekly
basis, with their viewing time exceeding three hours.
This trend for viewing video content on a smartphone
is becoming commonplace across Western Europe. In
Italy and Spain, smartphone owners who watch video on
their device state that they view more than four hours of
content on a weekly basis.2

MOBILE SUBSCRIPTIONS
In 2013, the total number of mobile subscriptions in
Europe was around 1.1 billion, and this is expected
to increase by another 20 million by the end of 2014.
Furthermore, mobile subscriptions in the region are
forecast to grow with a CAGR of 2 percent
between 2013 and 2019, reaching around 1.3 billion.
LTE subscriptions
In Europe, every country has WCDMA/HSPA networks
and more than half have launched LTE. Western Europe
has the largest number of LTE subscriptions, whereas
Eastern Europe lags behind due to spectrum being
awarded later.
Sweden and Norway launched LTE in 2009, becoming
the first in the world to do so. The number of LTE
subscriptions in Europe at the end of 2013 reached
around 16 million, equivalent to just over 1 percent of
all subscriptions. However, this is expected to grow by
almost three times by the end of 2014. The number of
LTE subscriptions will reach around 425 million by the
end of 2019, which will equate to around 30 percent of
all mobile subscriptions. In Western Europe LTE will
reach 50 percent penetration, and in Central and Eastern
Europe it will reach 20 percent penetration by 2019.
Smartphone subscriptions
Europe‘s smartphone penetration is already amongst
the highest in the world. The number of subscriptions for
this device was around 400 million in 2013, accounting
for around 40 percent of all subscriptions. The number of
smartphone subscriptions in Europe is expected to grow
by around 20 percent during 2014 to 475 million and will
represent almost half of all mobile subscriptions. The CAGR
will be around 12 percent between 2013 and 2019, and the
number of smartphone subscriptions will reach around 765
million – surpassing the total population number.

MOBILE TRAFFIC
Mobile traffic in Europe will exceed 4 ExaBytes per
month by the end of 2019 – around 8 times more than
2013. Mobile voice traffic will slightly increase in the
coming years, but will have a lower impact on total
mobile traffic volumes. Mobile data traffic is continuing
to grow steadily, and increased around 65 percent in
2013 compared to 2012. It is expected to rise by a CAGR
of around 40 percent between 2013 and 2019, due to
the availability of affordable data-centric mobile devices
and attractive data plans creating significant increases
in usage per subscription. The rapid uptake of these
devices, including both smartphones and tablets is
fueling consumer demand for a better user experience.
Smartphone data traffic will grow about 7-fold between the
end of 2013 and the end of 2019.
The amount of data used on each active smartphone
subscription will substantially increase from an average of
0.8 GB per month in 2013, to a forecast average of around
2.8 GB per month in 2019.
One of the key drivers of increased mobile data usage
among consumers is the growth of video consumption on
mobile devices, both at home and on the go.
The improved speed and capacity of HSPA networks is an
important factor supporting this trend. The deployment of
LTE across Europe will further enhance the user experience.

6. 6 ERICSSON MOBILITY REPORT EUROPE JUNE 2014
Population coverage
Europe was one of the earliest adopters of wireless
technologies. During the early 1990s, GSM was rolled
out across the region. 10 years later, commercial
WCDMA networks were being deployed. These early
rollouts are reflected in the high population coverage of
over 90 percent for GSM/EDGE, and around 75 percent
for WCDMA/HSPA that we see today. GSM/EDGE is
estimated to increase to over 95 percent by 2019. It is
forecast that WCDMA/HSPA coverage will reach around
90 percent of the population by 2019.
Operators are now deploying 4G/LTE coverage and
capacity to meet the growing demand for mobile internet
services. Sweden, Norway, Germany, France and the
UK are at the forefront of introducing LTE in Europe,
and projects for its roll out in the remaining countries
are currently ongoing. LTE deployments and the rapid
uptake of LTE-enabled devices are contributing to
significant improvements in user downlink throughput.
It was estimated that by the end of 2013, LTE covered
around 25 percent of Europe. It is forecast that it will
cover around 80 percent by 2019. Hence, Europe will have
around 15 percentage points higher population coverage
compared to the worldwide average in 2019. European
networks can easily be upgraded to handle LTE, given
that a high proportion of them have been modernized
and can support multi-standard technologies.3
Population and
app coverage
App coverage
There are millions of apps available to download from
application stores and marketplaces, and this number is
constantly increasing. It is challenging to deliver sufficient
performance for each app everywhere, all the time – or even
to know what they all require.
In response to this challenge, a new approach to
network performance – app coverage – has been
proposed by Ericsson.
Apps that involve streaming media depend on downlink
throughput rates. Streaming apps tend to use mechanisms
to ensure consistent network performance. However, if
downlink throughput is not high enough then time-to-content
increases, meaning that users need to wait longer before
the video is launched. The risk of media freezing during the
streaming process also gets higher.
3
Population coverage is the proportion of the population in an area that has sufficient signal to connect to a mobile network.
It should be noted that the ability to utilize the technology is subject to other factors as well, such as access to devices and subscriptions.

App coverage
The coverage area for any given app is relative to
the level of network performance needed for it to
function. App coverage describes the area within
which there is a high probability of experiencing
sufficient network performance to run a given
application, e.g. video streaming or web browsing. Its
usefulness comes from the fact that smart devices
and apps continually evolve to encompass newer
capabilities, and therefore require more network
resources to provide a good user experience.
App coverage is an integrated view of mobile
broadband, network coverage, capacity and quality.
7. EUROPE JUNE 2014 ERICSSON MOBILITY REPORT 7
Network performance measurements from Speedtest.net
have been analyzed by Ericsson to calculate median and
cell edge downlink data throughput rates. A user has a
50 percent probability of getting the median rate or higher,
and a 90 percent probability of getting the cell-edge rate or
higher throughout the network coverage area.
In Western Europe, median values have grown over the last
two years. Sweden stands out amongst the download speed
measurements with a peak rate of over 8 Mbps in Q1 2014.
This can be explained by high capacity HSPA networks and
early deployment of LTE coverage. France has shown steady
growth in the last few quarters due to the deployment of LTE
and a strong marketing push.
The 90 percent downlink probability measurement is a
proxy for cell-edge performance. It has been improving
in Western Europe as well. Sweden, France and the UK
have progressed the quickest, with France making notable
improvements in Q4 2013. Despite this, none of the countries
studied could adequately support 720 Kbps – the downlink
speed associated with standard-quality video streaming.
In Eastern Europe median downlink speeds have more
than doubled in the last two years. Hungary has the fastest
speeds, while Poland is catching up. Russia is also improving
and in 2013 it saw a fourth commercial WCDMA/HSPA
network launched, whilst LTE covers more than one-third
of its population. As smartphone penetration is lower in
Eastern Europe compared to Western Europe, good median
performance is also the result of relatively less network load.
Eastern Europe figures for cell-edge performance do not
show sensitive improvements compared to improvements in
median values.
The number of subscriptions in Europe is growing, with LTE
representing an increasing share. Data traffic growth in the
region is impressive and is mainly driven by new video habits.
As user behavior switches to an always-connected paradigm,
so their expectations increase. In order to meet these needs
networks have to become more powerful and flexible in order
to provide the right coverage and quality for each device
in every place at any time. In this way it will be possible to
use ICT to foster smart innovations that benefit people,
businesses and society.
