WHAT SHOULD 5G BE ABOUT?
 5G ― ubiquitous access to high data services / applications from any device, anywhere, anytime.
 The future is about connectivity:
 Communications & Control
 Towards Digital Economy and Society
 Modernisa1on of aging industries
 Smart Homes, Cities and Countries
 To create such an environment, one needs to integrate various services applications, emerging from various
services and access via a mix of access to different fixed and wireless networks.
 It should also lower the net cost of service access (£ / month / Mbit) for consumers.
 5G should be a composite of multi-layered, multi-RAT heterogeneous network including 2G, 3G, 4G, RLAN,
WIGIG
 5G terrestrial wireless should also interwork / integrate with other radio access technologies like Fixed Satellite
Service (FSS), Broadcast Satellite Service (BSS) & Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) Systems.

SATELLITE ADDED VALUE IN 5G
 Global coverage and
dependability are and will
remain the main added
value of space related
communication services
 Integrated in 5G network
infrastructure, Satcom
solutions are well
positioned to target the 4
main types of use

ROLE OF SATELLITE SYSTEMS IN 5G ECOSYSTEM
 The role of Satellite is also mentioned in the current ITU-R WP5D – IMT/ 5G Vision
 Satellites can today deliver data rate services (> 100 Mbits/s – 1 Gbit/s) in ‘broadcast / multi-cast’ mode to small radio
access points.
 In post 2020 period, satellites can deliver > 1–10 Gbit/sec services and will require additional viable spectrum access.
IMT/ 5G should not be only about mobile technology – it is more than just “Cellular” it is
“Wireless” Access

FUTURE CONVERGED MULTIMEDIA NETWORK
 Fully converged broadband satellite broadcasting network, resulting from a
convergence of multimedia distribution
 Distribution of linear and non-linear services e.g. Push content to customers
 Improve ICT overall cost and Spectrum Efficiency

Satellites can today deliver very high data rate services (> 100 Mbits/s – 1 Gbit/s) in
‘broadcast / multi-cast’ mode to small radio access points.

OUTCOME OF WRC-15 FUTURE AGENDA ITEM ON
IMT / 5G MATTERS
WRC-19
WRC-15 – Future Agenda

KEY OUTCOME OF THE WRC-2015 ON WRC-2019 ACTIVITIES
FOR SCOPING IMT/5G DEVELOPMENT
 The WRC-2015 concluded that in respect of WRC-2019 activities, the ITU-R should conduct studies on frequency-
related matters for IMT identification, including possible additional allocations, to the mobile services on a primary
basis are needed.
 Such studies should be in portion(s) of the frequency range between 24.25 and 86 GHz for the future
development of International Mobile Telecommunications for 2020 and beyond.
 Key elements of the WRC-2015 Resolution (IMT > 6 GHz) are:
 The core globally allocated Ka-band FSS bands at 27.5 – 30.0 GHz are excluded from the scope of this
Resolution and future WRC-2019 agenda item for spectrum for IMT/5G terrestrial services.
 to conduct and complete in time for WRC-19 the appropriate sharing and compatibility studies, for the
frequency bands: 24.25-27.5 GHz, 37-40.5 GHz, 42.5-43.5 GHz, 45.5-47 GHz, 47.2-50.2 GHz, 50.4-52.6 GHz,
66-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz, which have allocations to the mobile service on a primary basis; and
 31.8-33.4 GHz, 40.5-42.5 GHz and 47-47.2 GHz, which will require additional allocations to the mobile
service on a primary basis,
 Note: Frequency bands highlighted in red above are potentially the most suitable for 5G/IMT-2020.

OVERALL 5G WIRELESS-ACCESS SOLUTION SCENARIO
5G Services Delivered via 4G+/ LTE evolution and new 5G technology
 4G/4G+ LTE based carrier aggregation enables high data rates of 500 Mbits or more.
 4G/4G+ evolution in ‘low-bands’ is key to future 5G ecosystem – including for enabling wide area coverage.
- in bands below 3.4 GHz (or below 3.8 GHz in EU).
 New 5G radio-systems / RAT standards developed in mmwaves above 31 GHz including 60 GHz WIGIG.
 Future 5G devices will be multi-band radios including ‘low-band ‘ 4G+/LTE+ and ‘> 31 GHz’ 5G.
