Ericsson ConsumerLab: Family CommunicationEricsson
The Ericsson ConsumerLab report Family Communication, based on studies carried out in the US, shows that all families differ from one another – from the way they communicate to how they create rules and spend time together.
The report compares the behavior of families with high usage of communication services with that of families with low usage. Those two groups of families are equally sized, and both demonstrate extreme behavior. And usage varies greatly – not only between the parents, but even between the children in the two types of families.
Eighty percent of families using a lot of communication services believe that as a result, they are happier, have more communication with each other and better knowledge about each other. But for these families, there are also more concerns that appear.

Ericsson Technology Review: Integrated access and backhaul – a new type of wi...Ericsson
Today millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum is valued mainly because it can be used to achieve high speeds and capacities when combined with spectrum assets below 6GHz. But it can provide other benefits as well. For example, mmWave spectrum makes it possible to use a promising new wireless backhaul solution for 5G New Radio – integrated access and backhaul (IAB) – to densify networks with multi-band radio sites at street level.
This Ericsson Technology Review article explains the IAB concept at a high level, presenting its architecture and key characteristics, as well as examining its advantages and disadvantages compared with other backhaul technologies. It concludes with a presentation of the promising results of several simulations that tested IAB as a backhaul option for street sites in both urban and suburban areas.
Ericsson Technology Review: Critical IoT connectivity: Ideal for time-critica...Ericsson
Critical Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity is an emerging concept in IoT development that enables more efficient and innovative services across a wide range of industries by reliably meeting time-critical communication needs. Mobile network operators (MNOs) are in the perfect position to enable these types of time-critical services due to their ability to leverage advanced 5G networks in a systematic and cost-effective way.
This Ericsson Technology Review article explores the benefits of Critical IoT connectivity in areas such as industrial control, mobility automation, remote control and real-time media. It also provides an overview of key network technologies and architectures. It concludes with several case studies based on two deployment scenarios – wide area and local area – that illustrate how well suited 5G spectrum assets are for Critical IoT use cases.
5G New Radio has already evolved in important ways since the 3GPP standardized Release 15 in late 2018. The significant enhancements in Releases 16 and 17 are certain to play a critical role in expanding both the availability and the applicability of 5G NR in both industry and public services in the near future.
This Ericsson Technology Review article summarizes the most notable new developments in releases 16 and 17, grouped into two categories: enhancements to existing features and features that address new verticals and deployment scenarios. This analysis and our insights about the future beyond Release 17 is an important component of our work to help mobile network operators and other stakeholders better understand and plan for the many new 5G NR opportunities that are on the horizon.
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. In my 2019 trends article, featured in this issue of Ericsson Technology Review, I share my view of the future network platform in relation to six key technology trends.
This issue of the magazine also addresses critical topics such as trust enablement, the extension of computing resources all the way to the edge of the mobile network, the growing impact of the cloud in the telco domain, overcoming latency and battery consumption challenges, and the need for end-to-end connectivity. I hope it provides you with valuable insights about how to overcome the challenges ahead and take full advantage of new opportunities.
Ericsson Technology Review: Spotlight on the Internet of ThingsEricsson
The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a fundamental cornerstone in the digitalization of both industry and society as a whole. It represents a huge opportunity not only in economic terms, but also from a global challenges perspective – making it easier for governments, non-governmental organizations and the private sector to address pressing food, energy, water and climate related issues.
5G and the IoT are closely intertwined. One of the biggest innovations within 5G is support for the IoT in all its forms, both by addressing mission criticality as well as making it possible to connect low-cost, long-battery-life sensors.
With this in mind, we decided to create a special issue of Ericsson Technology Review solely focused on IoT opportunities and challenges. I hope it provides you with valuable insights about the IoT-related opportunities available to your organization, along with ideas about how we can overcome the challenges ahead.

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Mobile subscriptions
In Europe, every country has WCDMA/HSPA networks, including Ukraine, which launched
new 3G services in 2015. Most countries have also launched LTE. Western Europe has
the largest number of LTE subscriptions due to early LTE roll-out, whereas Central and
Eastern Europe lags behind due to spectrum being awarded later in some countries
The steady growth of smartphone subscriptions in Europe
The number of smartphone subscriptions is forecast
to reach 550 million by the end of 2015, accounting for
around 50 percent of total mobile phone subscriptions.
By the end of 2021, the uptake of smartphones in Europe
will reach 880 million, meaning that more than 70 percent
of mobile phone subscriptions will be smartphones.
LTE subscriptions are spreading throughout Europe
The uptake of LTE subscriptions in Europe is taking off. This
technology is expected to account for 15 percent of all mobile
subscriptions by the end of 2015. The number of LTE/5G
subscriptions will then rapidly grow, and reach roughly
800 million by the end of 2021. This equates to around
60 percent of all mobile subscriptions.*

Mobile traffic
Mobile data traffic in Europe will reach 11 ExaBytes (EB) per month by
the end of 2021 – around 9 times more than 2015. Mobile voice traffic
will slightly increase in the coming years, but will have very little
impact on total mobile traffic volumes
Mobile data traffic is continuing to rise steadily, and by
the end of 2015 should have grown by 45 percent from
2014. It is expected to rise by a CAGR of around
45 percent between 2015 and 2021.

Europeans are consuming more and more mobile data
The continued growth of mobile data traffic is due to
attractive data plans and the increased availability of
affordable smartphones and tablets. This combination is
making it easier to access mobile data services, such as
social networking, browsing and video.
The growing consumption of video is also supported by the
improved speed and capacity of WCDMA/HSPA networks.
The deployment of LTE across Europe and the evolution of
LTE-Advanced will further fuel the use of mobile services
and enhance the user experience.
Mobile traffic is primarily generated by smartphones. Total
monthly smartphone data traffic over mobile networks
will grow 10 times from 2015 to 2021. The amount of data
used on each active smartphone subscription* will increase
substantially from an average of 1.8 GB per month in 2015,
to a forecast average of around 13 GB per month in 2021.
The growth in traffic per user is in part driven by technology
advances in devices, such as higher resolution screens.
The usage corresponds to an average of 10–20 minutes of
video per day in 2021. The availability of different access
technologies makes a difference. For example in Sweden,
UK and Italy twice as many LTE users as WCDMA/HSPA
users watch full-length videos on their smartphone
every week.2

Evolving Households
People want to stay connected throughout the day and the speed of connected
device adoption in households has increased to reflect this. The average
European household has more than three connected communication devices,
the most popular being smartphones and laptops
Smartphones drive internet use across all segments, and
the number of smartphone owners who have never used
the internet on their device is close to zero. Smartphones
also contribute to higher internet usage outside of the home.
The percentage of smartphone owners who access the web
while traveling is five times greater than the corresponding
percentage among non-smartphone owners.
Evolving behaviors
Busy lifestyles make consumers seek new benefits from their
technology. Households are becoming host to multiple smart
connected devices, on top of their basic communication
devices. These are used for a range of services, including
entertainment, security, health and wellness.
The interest and curiosity in future technologies is high,
especially in metropolitan areas. 50 percent of Londoners
and 66 percent of Muscovites would be interested in having
domestic robots to carry out chores.3
New technology is also expected to benefit the quality of
city life. For instance, two out of three consumers in Rome
would like their smartphone to check water quality in public
facilities. And about 60 percent of smartphone owners in
Paris would like to compare real-time energy consumption
with other households in their neighborhood in order to
optimize their energy footprint.3

Working women benefit from ICT services
ICT services enable people to stay connected and provide the
flexibility and reach to efficiently manage tasks, irrespective
of time and place. Working women are also increasingly
benefiting from these services. They strongly believe that
technology improves their work-life balance. Interest in
working remotely is 1.5 times higher for female business
owners and women in leading positions than
for their male counterparts. Despite working more often from
home, they want to separate their work and personal lives.6
Cloud services are emerging and 10 percent of women
use smartphone business applications for remote work.
However, working women in Europe see more benefits in
using technologies for their personal lives than for work.
Thus, 40 percent use online storage for personal purposes,
while only 20 percent use it for work.5
In Europe, men and women use basic communication services to an equal degree.
However, men tend to be early adopters of new services and are often quicker to
download new apps. When apps become mainstream, the gender gap in adoption closes4
ICT usage patterns demonstrate a strong correlation with age
groups, with young people adopting new services earlier. For
example, on smartphones online social networks are used
daily by 60 percent of those under 25.
The usage is reduced to 45 percent in age group 25–49 and
to around 20 percent for people aged 50+.Those under 25 are
also more text-centric, while people 25 and above use more
traditional voice services.

The rise of on-demand
On-demand viewing is taking a central role among European
consumers, and its share of viewing time in Sweden, Italy
UK, Ireland and Russia now exceeds 30 percent. On-demand
viewing is no longer limited to shorter video clips. In Ireland,
Spain and Russia for instance, the time spent watching
on-demand movies, series and TV programs weekly is
more than six hours.7
The youth is driving the mobile viewing
Mobile platforms such as laptops, tablets and smartphones
are growing in importance when it comes to TV and video
consumption. Over half of Europeans use smartphones for
viewing video content on a weekly basis. This is especially
true with younger generations, with teenagers’ smartphone
viewing accounting for around 25 percent of total viewing time.7
New behaviors like place-shifting have emerged where
consumers start watching content in one place or on one
device, and finish the viewing elsewhere. 20 percent of
Europeans have switched screens at least once in the
past 30 days while watching video.8
Younger generations shift prime-time
Television prime-time is being redefined, with the younger
generation playing a driving role. Two out of three people
under the age of 25 watch TV or video content in bed before
falling asleep. One out of three in this young age group
watches TV or video content in bed before getting up.7
