Accelerating our 5G future: a first look at 3GPP Rel-17 and beyondQualcomm Research
In December 2019, the scope of 3GPP Release 17 was decided in the Plenary meeting in Spain. This presentation outlines the details of this 3rd release of 5G standards.
The document describes the 5G standalone access registration call flow between a 5G UE, 5G NR base station (gNB), and 5G core network (5GC) components. It includes:
1. An overview of the 5G RAN and 5GC access flow showing the main procedures and components involved.
2. A more detailed access call flow showing the signaling exchanges between the UE, gNB and 5GC components at each step of the registration process.
3. Appendix sections providing reference information on the radio resource control (RRC) connection setup process and signaling messages exchanged.
3GPP is the 3rd Generation Partnership Project, an international standards organization that develops protocols for mobile telecommunications. It was formed in 1998 to create a single global standard for 3G networks based on IMT-2000. 3GPP brings together seven telecommunications standards development organizations to produce technical specifications that are then adopted as standards.
The document discusses the evolution of network architectures from 2G to 5G. It describes the key network elements and interfaces in 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G networks. The 5G network architecture uses both a reference point architecture for the user plane and a service-based architecture for the control plane. The main network functions in the 5G control plane are the AMF, SMF, UDM, AUSF, NSSF, NEF, NRF and UDR. The UPF is the main network element in the user plane.
Ultra Wide-Band Technology (UWB) is a short-range, high-bandwidth communications technology that can be used for data transfer, imaging, and localization applications. UWB operates by transmitting very short pulses across a wide frequency band with low power. Key applications of UWB include high-speed wireless communications and high-resolution radar and imaging systems. Standardization efforts have developed standards for UWB personal area networks, and UWB offers advantages like high data rates and secure transmission, but also faces limitations from its low-power emissions.

2G / 3G / 4G / IMS / 5G Overview with Focus on Core NetworkHamidreza Bolhasani
The document provides an overview of mobile networks from 2G to 5G, with a focus on the core network. It describes the key network elements and protocols in 2G/3G networks such as BTS, BSC, NodeB, RNC, SGSN, GGSN. Example call flows and scenarios like location update and SMS are reviewed. GPRS network architecture is introduced including the functions of SGSN, GGSN, CG. Finally, it briefly introduces 5G services before concluding.
Simplified Call Flow Signaling: Registration - The Attach Procedure3G4G
This presentation/video provides an example of the registration procedure. The device or UE needs to let the core network(s) know that it is switched on and active. This procedure is known as registration. The UE can register individually to the CS and PS core networks. Most modern networks allow combined registration (or combined attach) whereby the UE registers only to the PS network and the PS network informs the CS network that the UE is active.

The document discusses various topics related to creating larger computer networks, including modems, digital telephone lines, remote access, and protocols like PPTP. Modems are primarily used to transfer files between computers by uploading and downloading. Digital telephone lines like DSL and cable modems provide higher speed data transmission compared to standard analog lines. Remote access allows employees to securely access a corporate network from outside using protocols like PPTP, which creates private "tunnels" within public networks like the Internet.
The document discusses the promise of SDN for transport networks. It notes changing business and usage models are driving the need for more elastic, on-demand networks. SDN can help by providing programmable control of optical networks through standardized interfaces. The OIF and ONF conducted a global demo of transport SDN using an application for cloud bursting over optical networks. This identified gaps around multi-domain control and relationships between controllers and network management. Wider SDN deployment faces challenges around operational simplicity, scalability, security and continuous availability. Multiple SDOs are working on related standards but alignment is still needed.
4G cellular systems aim to provide broadband wireless access with peak data rates over 20 Mbps. Key challenges for 4G include limited coverage due to higher frequencies and capacity constraints of current air interfaces. 4G requires spectrum below 5 GHz for wide-area coverage given mobile device limitations. It will also utilize technologies like adaptive antennas and asymmetric data rates to boost coverage and capacity.

One of the common questions that we encounter is why are 5G speeds so low as we were promised 5G downlink speeds of 20 Gbps. Most people do not understand how the 5G speeds are calculated and what do they depend on. In many cases, the network won’t be capable of delivering higher speeds due to some or the other limitation.
In this presentation and video we will look at the real world 5G speeds and try to map it to why these speeds are what they are.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.

11. ATSSS Technical Report TR 23.793
extending the support for Steering, Switching, Splitting
However, 23.793 Technical Report proposes Multipath Convergence could take one of the
following options
1. NULL tunnel (IP flow steering)
1. All packets from the same flow are sent on the same access (based on 5-tuple)
2. GRE tunnel
1. Both access types can be used at the same time over individual tunnels
3. Trailer based L3 Generic Multi-Access (GMA)
1. Trailers used to allow for packet ordering when using multiple access
4. User Plane Convergence using L4 multipath
1. MP-TCP
2. QUIC / MP-QUIC
3. SCTP
4. UDP Generic
23.50x R16 specifies only one higher layer option which is MP-TCP. Low Layer steering is also
defined as ATSSS-LL but no additional protocol is applied
Only MPTCP specified in R16
Can currently only be NULL tunnel
Other IETF protocol will be allowed
but none are ready

• MPTCP is a higher layer multipath protocol which works for TCP flows only.
• It can be difficult to schedule traffic in order to avoid head of line blocking
• Other methods such as MP-QUIC aim to remove these difficulties and also support all traffic types
• Some non-TCP applications cannot fall back to TCP and will not benefit (e.g. some real time
voice/video)
• ATSSS- Lower Layer is suitable for steering and switching flows of any type
• It applies no additional protocol so could only be used for steering (today) and maybe switching in
the future
• It is required for all ethernet PDU types
• Something similar is available TODAY on some broadband / LTE hybrid home equipment
• And as over the top applications on smartphone devices. (They currently need to use the
VPN service on the UE to capture all the traffic)
• No mention of dual 3GPP Access – Private LTE (e.g. CBRS) + Public LTE
• Even where the device has 1 radio, the use case for seamless handover in a Dual-Sim Dual-Standby
(DSDS) environment is important for offload continuity

13. Broadly based on Generic UDP L4 convergence
• These challenger solutions are implementing a proprietary UDP approach to perform aggregation
• There are 3 deployment models
• On mobile devices there are two integration methods
• SDK integrated into an application, acts similar to an L4 aggregation such as MPTCP or
MPQUIC
• Whole device aggregation using the VPN service to capture traffic. All applications see a
virtual IP address of the aggregation tunnel to the aggregation server (equivalent to ATSSS)
• For Home Gateways and Access Points an SDK exists which can be integrated into the network
stack
• All traffic types can be supported
• New congestion control is implemented to optimise the use of the links and has been empirically tuned to
suit the varying latencies between Wi-Fi and Cellular networks
• Enhancements such as Forward Error Correction are already in use in these solutions
• Up to date encryption can be used (but will be an overhead)
• Provides all the desired aggregation modes and is already tuned for mobile behaviour
• Offers out of box redundancy and gapless handover for real time media streams (e.g. IP calling)
• Offers aggregation to achieve a minimum bandwidth while preferring a primary low cost access
when available.

15. Using rules to manage ATSSS
• After the establishment of a MA PDU
Session, the UE receives a prioritized list
of ATSSS rules from the SMF
Structure of the ATSSS rule
• Traffic steering policy: This rule is used to select an access
when initiating a new data flow.
• Traffic switching policy: This rule is used to determine when a
data flow should be moved from 3GPP to non-3GPP or vice
versa.
• Traffic splitting policy: This rule is used to determine when a
data flow should be split across 3GPP and non-3GPP.

16. How performance is measured and governed
measures which feed into rule set
PCF (Policy) sets rules
Loss, Latency, Jitter Measures
Traffic distribution based on ensuring
no packets get out of order
Performance Management Function
• Requires measurement and reporting of Packet Loss, Jitter,
RTT
• Need careful combination to avoid rapid switches and bad
decisions

17. Networks are combined to provide a user experience target which includes
stability or consistency of the connection, perceived minimum speed and
optimisation of cost to the end user and service providers
