Keynote Address: Critical communications standards supporting a multi-vendor ...3G4G
Presented by Adrian Scrase, CTO, ETSI & Head of MCC, 3GPP at CCE 2019
Abstract:
The Critical Communications community has engaged in standardisation activities to ensure that their evolution path is supported by a multi-vendor and interoperable environment. This engagement is a long term commitment and involves participation in a number of different standardisation bodies. The primary focus for this work however lies within both ETSI and the Partnership Project 3GPP and so it is appropriate for this keynote address to focus on the progress made within those bodies in delivering critical communications standards. This address will also look into the future and assess the extent to which 5G will play a role in serving Critical Communication needs.

In this basic tutorial we look at different types of RAN architectures that are always being discussed. We start with the Distributed RAN (D-RAN) and then look at Centralized and Cloud RAN (both referred to as C-RAN) architectures. We also quickly look at RAN functional splits for 5G and then tie this all together.
We also look at how Samsung and Nokia discuss these architectures in the context of 5G.

Latest update from 3GPP meeting regarding 5G acceleration
Acceleration is a vector quantity that is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity...let's see how fast this gets through (hint - not as fast as the marketing department)
3GPP LTE-A Standardisation in Release 12 and Beyond - Jan 2013 Eiko Seidel, C...Eiko Seidel
Quite some time ago major improvements have been made to LTE with LTE-Advanced as part of 3GPP Release 10. Unquestionably, LTE-A will be the leading global 4G standard fulfilling the defined ITU-R requirements [1] on IMT-Advanced such as peak data rates beyond 1Gbps. While further enhancements to LTE-Advanced have just been completed in 3GPP Release 11, the new technology trends become visible to serve the continuously growing traffic demand. This White Paper, based on Nomor’s attendance of 3GPP, provides an outlook on 3GPP standardisation for the forthcoming years. Besides a summary of general trends and a projected release schedule, it includes an overview of the work and study items of Release 12 in the Radio Working Groups. New key technologies that Release 12 will address are: Small Cell Enhancements, a New Carrier Type, 3D-MIMO Beamforming, Machine-Type-Communication, LTE-WiFi Integration at radio level and Public Safety incl. Device-to-Device communication. While the completion of Release 12 is expected mid of 2014, deployments might be seen around the end of 2015 and later. NoMoR is active in different related research projects and offers consultancy services for related research, standardisation, simulation, early prototyping and technology training.
Spectrum Toolbox includes a wide set of bands ranging from 450MHz up to 100GHz with licensed and unlicensed spectrum, covering different licensing options, as well as different access schemes, Bandwidth aggregation mechanisms, duplexing and RATs. On top of that, 5G requirements target tight integration of all these elements to unify the operation of the next generation mobile systems and to provide the possibility to adapt to different use cases and scenarios that will further complicate the overall landscape.
Similar to Overview 5G Architecture Options from Deutsche Telekom (20)
Still NR Rel.15 was primarily designed for high frequency, high throughput small and mid-range communication systems mostly in dense urban and urban macro environments. In our view, this leaves out a large number of poorly connected populations that live in rural areas without viable solution even for basic broadband communication. We want to address this issue in the NR Rel.17 RAN1 work item on coverage enhancement. Discussion will start tonight in the 3GPP RAN1 e-meeting.
This document discussed open issues regarding coverage in long-distance scenarios. In addition, this document illustrates the baseline coverage performance of extreme long–range rural scenarios for FR1 700 MHz both in DL and UL based on system-level simulations.
Final Performance Evaluation of 3GPP NR eMBB within 5G-PPP consortiumEiko Seidel
Nomor Research contributed extensive system level simulation results to the evaluation group of the 5G-PPP consortium as an independent source. The evaluation has been submitted to 34th meeting of the ITU-R Working Party 5D confirming that the 5G requirements of 3GPP New Radio air interface are indeed fulfilled. With the presentation of the evaluation reports at the ITU-R Working Party 5D meeting held in Geneva, Switzerland, in February 2020, the independent evaluation activity has officially been closed.
The system level simulations performed by Nomor Research GmbH are only a part of the overall evaluation of the 5G NR air interface. A summary of the simulation-based evaluation based on the 5G NR RealNeS system simulator is being provided in this white paper.
Motivation and results coverage enhancment for 3GPP NR Rel.17 Eiko Seidel
In this paper we would like to emphasize once again the need to look at large coverage scenarios for 5G NR and express our support for the creation of a Rel.17 work item. Furthermore, we provide first system-level simulation results to further motivate work on coverage enhancements and prove our commitment to contribute to a study item in the working groups in Rel.17 with independent performance evaluation.
3GPP RAN plenary meeting #84 in Newport Beach, US, in June 2019, discussed the content of 5G New Radio (5G-NR) Release 17 standardization. One of the defined key areas for 5G enhancements for 5G enhancements is NR Broadcast / Multicast (BC/MC). Important use cases for this technology are NR Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), NR Public Safety and NR Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN). This white paper proposes a mechanism of link adaptation in coordination with higher layer Error Correction. A detailed description and system-level simulation-based evaluation of the proposed scheme is provided in this White Paper.
Evaluation of 5G Data Duplication for URLLC - Nomor Reseach GmbHEiko Seidel
As you might know Data Duplication can be used in combination of Carrier Aggregation or Dual Connectivity to increase reliability for services such as URLLC. Enclosed a paper of my colleague Dr. Volker Pauli with 5G system/protocol level simulation results for different scenarios for a CU/DU split architecture. Packet loss rates of 10-5 are feasible for URLLC within restricted service areas.

A Flexible Network Architecture for 5G SystemsEiko Seidel
In this paper, we define a flexible, adaptable, and programmable architecture for 5Gmobile networks, taking into consideration the requirements, KPIs, and the current gaps in the literature, based on three design fundamentals: (i) split of user and control plane, (ii) service-based architecturewithin the core network (in line with recent industry and standard consensus), and (iii) fully flexible support of E2E slicing via per-domain and cross-domain optimisation, devising inter-slice control and management functions, and refining the behavioural models via experiment-driven optimisation.The proposed architecture model further facilitates the
realisation of slices providing specific functionality, such as network resilience, security functions, and network elasticity. The proposed architecture consists of four different layers identified as network layer, controller layer, management and orchestration layer, and service layer. A key contribution of this paper is the definition of the role of each layer, the relationship between layers, and the identification of the required internal modules within each of the layers. In particular, the proposed architecture extends the reference architectures proposed in the Standards Developing Organisations like 3GPP and ETSI, by building on these while addressing several gaps identified within the corresponding baseline models. We additionally present findings, the design guidelines, and evaluation studies on a selected set of key concepts identified to enable flexible cloudification of the protocol stack, adaptive network slicing, and inter-slice control and management.

White Paper: Dynamic TDD for LTE-a (eIMTA) and 5GEiko Seidel
LTE, which was originally designed with fixed FDD or TDD modes with little flexibility for varying the capacity split between uplink and downlink, is being augmented with features that allow for more flexible use of radio resources. One of these features is “enhanced Interference Mitigation and Traffic Adaptation” (eIMTA) which notably allows for very dynamic adaptation of the TDD pattern e.g. in response to varying capacity requirements in uplink and downlink. eIMTA was standardized in LTE-A Release 12 and eIMTA-like functionality is considered to be one of the key enablers for 5G technologies. The purpose of this paper therefore is to shed some light on eIMTA, its main characteristics and capabilities and to illustrate its behaviour by means of system-level simulations.
LTE networks get more mature and new terminals of different capabilities are being introduced. 3GPP just defined the new LTE-A UE categories to support terminals with peak data rates of up to 450 Mbps in the downlink. This white paper provides an overview of all existing LTE/LTE-A UE categories and presents the new Release 11 capabilities that have just been standardized. Furthermore it describes key scenarios and use cases such as the support for downlink carrier aggregation with 3 downlink carriers with up to 60 MHz of total bandwidth.

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).

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!
