At present, the global information age has arrived, the total amount of data has exploded, and people's demand for data and information is increasing. The birth of LTE is to continuously optimize wireless communication technology to meet customers' higher requirements for wireless communication.
LTE is a long-term evolution of the UMTS technical standard formulated by the 3GPP organization, in 2004 The project was formally established and launched at the 3GPP Toronto meeting in December.
LTE is a wireless data communication technology standard. The current goal of LTE is to use new technologies and modulation methods to improve the data transmission capacity and data transmission speed of wireless networks, such as new digital signal processing (DSP) technologies, which were mostly proposed around 2000.
The long-term goal of LTE is to simplify and redesign the network architecture to make it an IP-based network, which will help reduce potential undesirable factors in the 3G transition.
LTE technology mainly has two mainstream modes, TDD and FDD, and the two modes have their own characteristics. Among them, FDD-LTE is widely used internationally, while TD-LTE is more common in my country.
The LTE (Long Term Evolution) project is an evolution of 3G, a transition between 3G and 4G technologies, and a global standard of 3.9G.
It has improved and enhanced the 3G air access technology, using OFDM and MIMO as the only standard for its wireless network evolution. It provides a peak rate of 100 Mbit/s for downlink and 50 Mbit/s for uplink under a 20MHz spectrum bandwidth, which improves the performance of cell-edge users, increases cell capacity, and reduces system delay.
In order to better understand LTE, we have listed 41 basic knowledge of LTE for your reference.
Migration to 5G and Deployment Training and certification by TELCOMA GlobalGaganpreet Singh Walia
5G technology enables enhanced mobile broadband services, which offers higher data rates, lower latency and more capacity. Development of 5G technology is being led by companies such as Huawei, Intel and Qualcomm for modem technology. Lenovo, Nokia, Ericsson, ZTE, Cisco and Samsung is working on infrastructure.
For deployment of 5G, 3GPP is defining new core network as well as new radio access network. New core network of 5G is 5GC and new radio access technology called “5G NR” new radio.5G use cases are already being built around immersive sports viewing and augmented reality applications.

Presented virtually by Andy Sutton, Principal Network Architect, BT Technology on 06 Aug 2020.
Andy provides an update and review of the transformational plans, capabilities and outcomes from 5G deployments in the UK. 5G networks are already enabling a step change in the range and capability of innovative applications from IoT to robotics. That pace of change is due to accelerate as 5G moves from its initial enhanced mobile broadband phase to deliver ultra-reliable and low latency communications along with massive machine type connectivity.

This updated presentation/video looks at 5G Network Architecture options that have been proposed by 3GPP for deployment of 5G. It covers the Standalone (SA) and Non-Standalone (NSA) architecture. In the NSA architecture, EN-DC (E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity), NGEN-DC (NG-RAN E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity) and NE-DC (NR-E-UTRA Dual Connectivity) has been looked at. Finally, migration strategies proposed by vendors and operators (MNOs / SPs) have been discussed.
Shared/unlicensed spectrum is important for 5G and is valuable for wide range of deployments from extreme bandwidth by aggregating spectrum, enhanced local broadband to Internet of Things verticals. 5G New Radio (NR) will natively support all different spectrum types and is designed to take advantage of new sharing paradigms. We are pioneering 5G shared spectrum today by building on LTE-U/LAA, LWA, CBRS/LSA and MulteFire.

3GPP Spectrum Access Evolution Towards 5GGrandmetric
The ever-increasing needs for more spectrum resources, and the emerging new Radio Access Technologies under the 5G
umbrella add to the complexity of the Spectrum Toolbox in mobile networks landscape. This article covers 3GPP LTE
evolution from Release 8 up to the Release 14, which deals with the LTE-Advanced Pro enhancements. A collection of
available frequency bands, spectrum aggregation mechanisms, licensing and duplexing schemes, as well as spectrum
sharing and refarming techniques is described. With such a classification, Spectrum Toolbox is defined and its evolution
directions are discussed, with the opportunities and challenges of the individual features summarized. Studies on the new
non-backwards compatible Radio Access Technology, as well as the new channel models for higher frequency bands are
also covered. The presented Spectrum Toolbox is considered as a baseline for the introduction of the new air interface
framework towards 5G ecosystem in the context of future mobile networks enhancements.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

5. Resolution COM6/20 invites studies of sharing and compatibility between
5G and existing services in selected bands above 24.25GHz, under AI 1.13
5Frequency bands under study
Scope/considerations Bands selected for 5G study
Study outputs
IMT systems are being evolved to provide diverse usage scenarios
including enhanced mobile broadband, machine-type communications and
ultra-reliable, low-latency communication
Ultra-low-latency and high-bit-rate applications will require larger
contiguous blocks of spectrum
Shorter wavelength bands better enable use of advanced antenna systems
Any identification of frequency bands for IMT should take into account the
use of the bands by existing services. There should be no additional
regulatory or technical constraints imposed on services to which the band
is currently allocated on a primary basis
24.25–27.5GHz, 37–40.5GHz, 42.5–42.5GHz,
45.5–47GHz, 47.2–50.2GHz, 50.4–52.6GHz,
66–76GHz and 81–86GHz, which have
allocations to the mobile service on a primary
basis
31.8–33.4GHz, 40.5–42.5GHz and
47–47.2GHz, which may require additional
allocations to the mobile service on a primary
basis
When conducting studies in the 24.5–27.5GHz
band, there is a need to ensure the protection
of existing earth stations and the deployment of
future receiving earth stations under the
allocation to the Earth Exploration Satellite
Service (EESS) and Space Research Service
(SRS)
Spectrum needs for the terrestrial component of IMT in the frequency
range between 24.25 and 86GHz, including the timeframe in which the
spectrum is needed
Sharing and compatibility studies on feasibility of 5G use in selected bands
Consideration at WRC-19 of additional allocations to the mobile service on
a primary basis, and identification of bands for IMT
6. Resolution COM6/18 describes considerations for the FSS regulatory
framework in 37.5–39.5GHz, 39.5–42.5GHz, 47.2–50.2GHz and 50.4–51.4GHz
6Frequency bands under study
Scope/considerations Bands under study for non-GSO FSS
Study outputs
There is a need to encourage development and implementation of
new technologies in the FSS at frequencies above 30GHz
Non-GSO FSS shall not cause unacceptable interference to GSO
FSS and BSS networks and shall not claim protection from them
Technical sharing studies are required to ascertain the feasibility and
conditions for non-GSO FSS systems sharing the bands 37.5–
42.5GHz (space to Earth), 47.2–50.2GHz (Earth to space) and 50.4–
51.4GHz (Earth to space) with GSO satellite networks and with other
non-GSO satellite networks
37.5–42.5GHz (space to Earth)
47.2–48.9GHz (feeder links only)
48.9–50.2GHz and 50.4–51.4GHz (space to Earth)
Technical and operational issues and regulatory provisions for the
operation of non-GSO FSS networks in the stated bands
Necessary requirements to protect EESS in 36–37GHz and 50.2–
50.4GHz and protection requirements for radio astronomy in 42–5–
43.5GHz, 48.94–49.04GHz and 51.4–54.25GHz
7. Resolution COM6/21 is about additional spectrum needs for gateway and
fixed terminal links for HAPS in 38–39.5GHz globally
7Frequency bands under study
Scope/considerations Detailed bands under study
Study outputs
High altitude platform stations are one possible means of providing
fixed broadband connectivity in remote areas and with minimal ground
infrastructure
Tests are being made of broadband delivered using lightweight, solar-
powered aircraft and airships at altitudes of 20–50km
WRC-97 added a global identification for HAPS in 47.2–47.5GHz and
47.9–48.2GHz, and WRC-2000 agreed on a HAPS identification in
27.9–28.2GHz (fixed downlink) paired with 31.0–31.3GHz (fixed
uplink) outside Region 2, and on additional spectrum identifications for
HAPS under S5.388 (IMT) in some countries
38–39.5GHz (globally)
21.4–22GHz and 24.25–27.5GHz in Region 2
Additional spectrum needs for gateway and fixed terminal links for
HAPS to provide broadband connectivity in the fixed service
Suitability of existing frequency identifications
Study on use of 38–39.5GHz (globally) and 21.4–22GHz and 24.25–
27.5GHz in Region 2 for gateway and fixed terminal links for HAPS, to
meet any spectrum needs not satisfied by existing identifications

13. The key questions leading up to WRC-19 are how to establish the UK
industry’s priorities for 5G within a broadly defined agenda item
13Questions for the UK Spectrum Policy Forum
Some key questions on
the future of microwave
spectrum in the UK
following WRC-15
Understanding the need for 5G spectrum (in bands ranging from
24.25GHz to 86GHz) – What key characteristics of 5G millimetre-wave
technology might influence spectrum need and assist with selecting the
preferred bands (e.g. transceiver design, required bandwidth, range,
band configuration, etc.)?
Support for CEPT and ITU processes – How can UK industry best
help Ofcom and CEPT to conduct the necessary studies on 5G spectrum
need? What other priorities does UK industry foresee for the bands
being studied for 5G (e.g. non-GSO FSS)?
Priorities for sharing studies – What technical sharing studies need to
have priority (e.g. 5G with fixed links, EESS, FSS, other)? How can UK
industry contribute to these studies? What are priority bands (if any)
among those under study, and/or how can these be determined?
