Who is the NGMN Alliance?*
“The NGMN Alliance is an industry organization of world-wide
Telecom Operators, Vendors and Research Institutes (see
www.ngmn.org) and was founded by international network operators
in 2006. Its objective is to ensure that the functionality and
performance of next generation mobile network infrastructure,
service platforms and devices will meet the requirements of
operators and, ultimately, will satisfy end user demand and
expectations. “ 1
“It is the NGMN Alliance goal to drive and guide the development
of all future mobile broadband technology enhancements with a
focus on “5G”. The targets of these activities are supported by the
partnership of worldwide leading operators, vendors, universities,
and successful cooperation with other industry organizations.”

• NGMN Spectrum Highlights*
“Leverage spectrum – Higher frequencies (e.g., centimetre and
millimetre waves) and licence exempt spectrum should be
exploited to complement …as a complement to the available
mainstream licensed spectrum resource…simultaneous
connections to multiple access points need to be supported.“
“A new RAT could be motivated by higher carrier frequencies
(e.g., bands above 6GHz), lower latency [E2E: < 1ms], and
specific use cases.”
“In order to facilitate migration towards 5G, NGMN recommends that
LTE/ LTE-Advanced and Wi-Fi, as well as their evolution, are to
be supported by the new 5G network design. Thus, the accessagnostic network functions should accommodate any new RATs, as
well as LTE/ LTEAdvanced, Wi-Fi, and their evolution.”

• NGMN Spectrum Highlights (continued)*
“A fundamental requirement is that operators must be free to
“re-farm” their existing mobile spectrum holdings for 5G
as well as being able to gain timely access to spectrum that
is already harmonised for mobile but is not yet assigned
and additional spectrum that may be identified at the ITU
World Radiocommunication Conference 2015 (WRC-15).”
“Supplementary spectrum, made available on a shared
basis, will be required to deliver extra capacity where
needed… Access to licence-exempt spectrum as a useful
supplement for certain applications and may be seamlessly
integrated into the 5G platform.”

• NGMN Spectrum Highlights (Continued)*
“Spectrum flexibility can bring benefits of spectral
efficiency gains, examples include: increasing exclusive
spectrum with emphasis on improving regional/global
harmonisation; smart carrier aggregation to use spare
frequencies; spectrum trading; and managing fair access to
supplementary shared spectrum.”
“In 5G, network based positioning in three-dimensional
space should be supported, with accuracy from 10 m to <1
m at 80% of occasions, and better than 1 m for indoor
deployments. Tracking of high speed devices will be
required to provide this location accuracy in a real-time
manner.”

“5G” terminology to describe the evolution of
cellular networks in the incoming years
• NGMN focuses mainly on 3GPP standardization
• High-level objectives compared to 4G:
– Higher throughput (10X), lower latency, support higher user density (100X)
– Lower cost, better energy efficiency…
– Able to support a wider range of services…
• Main solutions:
– new air interfaces (IoT, <6GHz, >6GHz millimeter wave)
– Densification
– new network architecture

Densification for 5G
•
Reaching the requested level of densification is challenging for operators:
•
•
Some key facilitators:
•
•
•
•
cost, installation (especially indoors - negotiation with venue owners), management, …
Use of unlicensed spectrum
Use of neutral-host small cells deployed
Flatter and cheaper architecture
802.11 deployed indoor and in dense areas combines these facilitators (great
solution for operators)
•
•
For operators: Fast deployment of services, low cost, local management…
For users: a system that “works”
 Need to ensure that customers continue seeing 802.11 as a system that “works”
•
•
Simple, seamless, secure access, with features and flexibility to support new services
With the right level of integration with each operator’s network

Integration of 802.11 technologies in 5G
•
Loose core network integration
• S2b untrusted-network solution (any network) is used today for Wi-Fi calling
•
Deep integration of Radio-Access Network level, with LTE-Wi-Fi aggregation
(LWA)
• For WiFi APs collocated or non-collocated with LTE small cells
• This opens the door to 802.11ad/ay integration as well in the future
•
5G may create deeper architecture changes which can also impact
interworking
• need for management interfaces in a flatter network?
 Need to work much closer with operators to ensure the good level of integration

Thoughts
• WiFi is a key technology for mobile data
• 80% of smartphone traffic today
• IEEE 802.11 will stay an essential component of wireless broadband
access, and is very relevant for 5G
•
For users: Need to make sure it meets expectations: a system that “works”
•
•
•
Air interface design: 802.11ax and 11ay are essential technologies for the future
Always best connected: simple and seamless connectivity
New bands?
• For operators: Need to ensure the good level of interworking with 5G
• make 802.11 a component

5G – Combining Multiple Radio Networks
3GPP focus for 5G
5G will be designed with native support for connectivity across multiple radio networks
 Radio Access Networks (RANs) could
be deployed as “Standalone” or using a
Non-3GPP 5G Radio Access (e.g. Wi-Fi)
multi-connectivity framework
 5G framework should enable splitting
of data and control functions
5G Ultra-Mobile Broadband
 5G operators want flexibility to
Above 6 GHz Radio Access
initially deploy RANs based on their
individual roll out plans for 5G
services and spectrum availability
5G Flexible Access
 LTE is expected to evolve as a
Below 6 GHz Radio Access
component within the 5G multi-RAN
framework
 802.11 WLAN (Wi-Fi) is the primary
5G LTE Evolution Radio Access
non-3GPP radio access being
considered

NGMN Alliance considerations on
5G Core-RANs interface options
• NGMN currently considers 3 options
– Option 1 has minimal impact to existing RATs but limitations to
introduce full 5G performance services
– Option 2 allows for full evolution of network services for 5G but
requires new interfacing with EPC and Fixed/Wi-Fi
– Option 3 is the most comprehensive approach by integrating LTE, 5G
and Fixed/Wi-Fi but has multiple implications.
• NGMN mandates further research into Option 3 before drawing
conclusions.
• Option 3 allows to fully leverage capabilities of IEEE 802
technologies
– However option 3 requires IEEE 802 to provide an appropriate
network interface to the 5G Core

WLAN Network Interfaces
A managed RAN requires standard network interfaces for:
• Control
– Dynamic and efficient service deployment, sliceable network
configuration and reconfiguration, etc.
• Management
– Fault management, billing and charging, performance monitoring, etc.
• Data
– Common and simplified data structures
5G = Sliceable!
– Multiple independent services over the same radio infrastructure (IaaS)
– Rapid service deployment and (re)configuration
802.11 provides a Radio Link – to become a full RAN it
requires standard backend network connectivity

Is IEEE 802.11 Relevant for 5G?
• IEEE 802.11 has a great presence and a great momentum
as low cost wireless access
– ABI Research estimates that “In 2014, over 2.4 billion Wi-Fi enabled
devices were shipped, while the industry surpassed 10 billion Wi-Fi
enabled devices shipped cumulatively in early 2015. Over half of
product shipments are dual-band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) now. The
market is forecast to continue to grow rapidly over the next 5 years as
the technology is adopted across a wide variety of markets, including
consumer, mobile, automotive, and emerging markets.”

5G in 3GPP
•
5G activities are concurrently happening in several fora besides 3GPP:
– ITU/IMT2020: driving 5G cellular definition, defining timeline and process for IMT-2020,
evaluation criteria, requirements and evaluation methodology
– NGMN: defining verticals, architectural aspects, building blocks
– 5G Forum, Future Forum, IMT-2020PG, 5GMF, 5GPPP, and many more…
•
5G in 3GPP is the sum of multiple activities
– Definition of a set of use cases and scenarios specific for 5G (in particular verticals like IoT,
V2X, etc.)
– Definition of a new RAT (radio access technology) to cater for new requirements, use cases,
and verticals (including high density environments)
– Definition of a Next Generation CN (Core network) to support such scenarios/verticals, new
connectivity/subscription/service models to cater for the way the Internet is evolving, and
multi-RAT interworking, considering that only astute combinations of technologies can
provide the answer to all scenarios
•
•
3GPP is working with its OPs (ARIB, ATIS, ETSI, TTC, TTA, CCSA, TSDSI) to
design a candidate technology (including a new RAT and CN) for the IMT-2020
process
3GPP is defining the core network for 5G and the interworking between RATs

802.11 in 3GPP
What has been done so far
• With the introduction of 4G and the Evolved Packet Core (EPC), the
need for better integration with Wi-Fi has emerged
• Two main efforts
• System level integration
• Support of simultaneous connectivity for different services over cellular and trusted WiFi (operator-deployed Wi-Fi) – S2a connectivity
• Support of simultaneous connectivity for different services over cellular and untrusted
Wi-Fi (via a secure tunnel to an ePDG) – S2b connectivity
• Ability to transfer IP flows of a given service over both cellular and trusted/untrusted
Wi-Fi – NBIFOM (Network-Based IP Flow Mobility)
• Control of IP traffic mobility between cellular and WLAN via policy-based mechanisms
defined by 3GPP
• Tighter integration: LWA (LTE-Wi-Fi aggregation)
• Targets deployments of LTE and Wi-Fi APs (possibly co-located, or legacy APs)
• Cellular RAN (eNB) has control of selection of Wi-Fi AP and of traffic steering

Role of IEEE in 3GPP 5G Effort
• The 802.11 family has been part of the 3GPP e2e design for a long time
– Several solutions for interworking/interoperation defined for over a decade
– Increased level of sophistication, as technology & operator interest evolved
– For example: UMA, s2a/s2b/s2c interfaces, LTE-WiFi PDCP aggregation, etc
• We know 3GPP will define a new radio & an evolved core
• We expect the new radio to operate in licensed spectrum & in unlicensed
spectrum in a license-assisted manner
• We expect interworking & interoperation with 802.11 to be part of the
3GPP design from day 1, as for previous generations
