NOKIA’s (Networks) contribution to H2020 Work Programme 2016-2017

From Nokia’s (Networks) perspectives, new research is needed on the following Mobile Broadband key development areas (Note: the summary or the 5G requirements have been listed after these development areas):

1. Enable 1,000 times more capacity

Näytä yksityiskohdat

More spectrum, higher spectral efficiency and small cells shall provide up to 1,000 times more capacity in wireless access. Although the industry today has not defined what 5G will look like and the discussions about this are in the earliest stages, flexible spectrum use, more base stations and high spectral efficiency will be key cornerstones, and research on it needs to be continued in Work Programme 2016-2017. Some details: The increased capacity needs shall be supported by the new spectrum sharing methods and intelligent antennas. The new methods shall support administration and optimization of the shared spectrum across different access technologies and across different administrative domains. For instance, several operators may share the same frequency band to their overlapping networks and the interferences/disturbances from one network to another have to be taken into account for the optimal allocation of the frequencies. This may have implications also on the traffic management of the shared networks. New methods and tools are needed for testing the new network functions (development phase) and for verifying the performance of the deployed networks. All functions and parameters are interdependent, and new methods are needed to analyze and find out the overall dependencies and impacts between functions.

2. Reduce latency to milliseconds

Näytä yksityiskohdat

In addition to pure network capacity, the user experience of many data applications depends on the end-to-end network latency. Advanced audio-visual real-time applications such as cloud gaming, tactile touch/response applications and machine-to-machine interactions (M2M, IoT, Industry 4.0) will push latency requirements down to single digit milliseconds in the future. Also, the network and application level protocols have to be faster and more efficient for enabling higher network performance and better energy efficiency.

3. Teach networks to be self-aware

Näytä yksityiskohdat

Today, network operators spend about 15-20% of their total OPEX on operating, managing and optimizing their networks. The introduction of additional radio access technologies, multiple cell layers and diverse backhaul options will increase complexity and risks driving up network OPEX substantially. The application of big data analytics and Artificial Intelligence technologies are needed to create the Cognitive Network that can autonomously handle complex end-to-end network and service management. The heterogeneity of the network accesses increases the need for the more intelligent traffic management and off-loading functions. New, efficient and self-learning traffic management methods have to be researched and understand more. The intelligent traffic management is very important when a general communication network is used to connect different kind of industrial internet, machine-to-machine and health-care systems together with heavily varying traffic demands.

4. Personalize the network experience

Näytä yksityiskohdat
Customer experience management (CEM) has become an industry priority over the last few years. In the future, the capabilities of CEM shall be enhanced substantially when combined with the Cognitive Network approach outlined above. In short, cognitive networks shall dynamically optimize the experience of selected users in response to a changing environment.

5. Telco Clouds

Näytä yksityiskohdat

Cloud technologies being able to provide computing and storage resource on-demand have brought substantial gains in efficiency and flexibility to the IT industry. Similar gains could be achieved when applying cloud principles to telco networks with virtualization decoupling traditional, vertically-integrated network elements into hardware and software. The migration of network elements in combination with software defined networking (SDN) will transform today’s networks into a fully software defined infrastructure that is both highly efficient and flexible. A key research area in the telco clouds is also Security & Privacy. It is not sufficient if the network itself is safe, but at the same time it is used for cheating. The methods have to be developed for the cloud environment to prevent any kind of fraud by the users of networks.

6. Flattening total energy consumption

Näytä yksityiskohdat

In mature markets, energy consumption already accounts for 10-15% of the total network operational costs and may hit 50% in developing markets. The focal point for improving energy efficiency is the radio access, which accounts for around 80% of all mobile network energy consumption. Advanced power amplifier technologies, baseband efficiency and heterogeneous network architecture evolution are the key ingredients for the efficient radio access network of the future.

7. Requirements for 5G

In the following, the requirements for 5G have been summarized:

Näytä yksityiskohdat

The use cases, key design principles and vision of the 5G system lead to requirements that the future mobile broadband system will need to meet: 10,000 times more traffic will need to be carried through all mobile broadband technologies at some point between 2020 and 2030. The need for more capacity goes hand-in-hand with access to more spectrum on higher carrier frequencies. The new 5G system needs to be designed in a way that enables deployment in new frequency bands. We will see growth between ten and a hundred devices for each mobile communications user. This trend will continue and 5G needs to be designed to accommodate such growth in device numbers. Radio latency lower than one millisecond, which is important for achieving high data rates while keeping equipment cost low. The requirement for low radio latency is followed by other requirements - jitter (latency deviation) of 20μs or end-to-end latency targets that vary between different service types. A battery life of 10 years needs to be achievable. Part of this lifetime extension will come from the evolution of battery technology but part will come from efficient handling of machine type traffic in the 5G system. Reduced power consumption and increased battery life will also be very important for more complex devices, Energy consumption for the operators needs to decrease. The possibility to handle devices with very low cost has to be ensured. This means for example, that using very high frequency bands may only be an option for simple devices, as transceiver capabilities don’t need to be the same for all devices. Peak data rates of a 5G system will be higher than 10 Gbit/s but more importantly the cell-edge data rate (for 95% of users) should be 100 Mbit/s. This will allow the use of the mobile Internet as a reliable replacement for cable wherever needed. We will still see improvements and demanding requirements for spectral efficiency in terms of average bit/s/Hz/cell for ultra-dense deployments. Mobility should be ensured for velocities as of today or higher – of course, small cells will be optimized for nomadic mobility but higher speeds will also be supported. Accurate positioning of the device shall also be possible with 5G, indoors as well as outdoors. Location-based services are becoming more important and will be followed by location-based reality augmentations. Security will be a very important requirement for 5G and the trend is already visible and addressed now. smooth mobility between cells, layers and radio access technologies needs to be assured support for any-to-any communication (so not only uplink or downlink but also device to device and node to node self backhauling) needs to be assured. 5G networks need high capacity and low latency backhaul without a significant increase in cost compared to today’s backhaul. 5G networks will need to be programmable, software driven and managed in an integrated way.

Demos Helsinki suggestions to H2020 WP 2016-2017

1. Retrofitting ICT in cities and buildings to make us behave smarter in smarter environments

2. Using ICT to enable preventive and inclusive healthcare and allow autonomy in healthy behavior for everyone.

3. Building tools and interfaces to enable socially responsible and participatory behavior

4. Using ICT to support sustainable lifestyles

Further, Demos Helsinki proposes ICT intensive futures forecasting to improve resilience in investments, education goals and science projects.

Qlu Oy: Proposal for a co-operation program to the Horizon 2020 EUI Research and Innovation program

Program Description

The goal for this program is to cost-efficient methods for building teching environments optimized for the needs of hard-of-hearing (HOH) students, but also serving efficiently the needs set by the new network based teaching methods. The main goal is to make it possible for everybody, also the HOH students, to participate efficiently in the bi-directional discussions in the teaching environment. This is especially important in learning foreign languages and also in the discussion based teamwork. These environments also have value in business and social life, which also are more and more operating in the network environment.

Working group

We propose that this program will be executed as a co-operation between our company, Qlu Oy and one or several finnish communal operators. If seen feasible, the community could be expanded toi include one or several communiocation technology companies and/or academic research groups.

Safety:

- There is a lot of SME industry where occupational and industrial safety and safety culture is at lower level than in large enterprises that can invest more to safety related things. One solution could be ICT based systems for risk assessment and risk identification. It is important to bring the safety improving solutions to the practical level in SMEs.

- Reliability, availability, maintainability and safety (RAMS) related issues shall be considered as an essential part of system engineering and as a whole from the beginning of the product design. RAMS related issues are very important in all machines and production systems but especially in paper industry and large manufacturing and production lines. Already now the production systems and machines include distributed control systems and a lot of diagnostics. Such ICT solutions are necessary in the product design that enable an effective RAMS design for products and production systems.

- Furthermore, internet of things (IoT) is strongly coming to industrial systems and machines, and this is a feature to be included to the product characteristics. IoT brings a lot of possibilities, but also risks and threats (information security, personal safety, etc.). These threats and measures to tackle these threats should be studied so that severe accidents, relating to both safety and security, can be prevented.
