活动简介

Current research efforts on 5G Radio Access Networks (RAN) strongly focus on millimeter-wave (mmWave) access for addressing a critical weakness of deployed cellular systems, i.e. the capacity to realize enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) services, as discussed at the World Radio-communication Conference 2015. Recently, mmWave technologies have reached a significant degree of maturity and their state-of-the-art products, operated in the 60GHz unlicensed band, are already in the market. However, there are many unsolved issues for an effective deployment of mmWave 5G RAN. The most critical issue is the impossibility of providing 10 Gigabit Ethernet backhaul everywhere. Meanwhile, Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) have obtained much attention in 5G networks. Especially MEC is considered as a key technology to enable mission-critical applications by allocating storage and computation resources at the edge of the network, so to circumvent the backhaul networks’ limited capacity. However, in the case of mobile networks, it is not easy to reallocate computational resources on demand, while meeting the strict latency constraints foreseen in 5G networks. It becomes a critical issue to develop evolutional technologies including a smooth combination of mmWave and MEC in future cellular architecture and the development of associated ecosystems providing new 5G vertical services. This workshop, co-located in ICC 2017, aims to offer an opportunity for academic and industrial researchers to discuss on feasible solutions including evolutional technologies and ecosystems for the realization of 5G and beyond.
