Title: 5G Evolution and Beyond: A view of Radio Technologies Beyond 5G New Radio
Abstract: The 5G system is the foundation to conquer new markets and create new economic value. The 5G system is currently being commercially deployed throughout the world both at sub 6 GHz (FR1) and at mmWave (FR2) frequency bands. The initial 5G deployments are focused on extreme mobile broadband (eMBB) use cases. The next natural extension of 5G is the development of new services for the existing as well as new customer base, especially Industrials which will use Ultra Reliable and Low Latency (URLLC) communication. In this talk, we begin with an overview, use cases and requirements for 5G New Radio and its evolution. We then touch on important features of 5G Radio Access Networks (RAN) and its enhancements. This includes Massive MIMO, URLLC, NR Positioning, 5G > 52.6 GHz, Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) and Non Terrestrial Networks (NTN) to name a few. Next, we present the 5G system performance for outdoor deployment and for an indoor ray traced factory using key 5G New Radio features. Finally, we close the talk by giving a brief outlook on 6G.
