ATIS 5G OVERVIEW

• ATIS launched its 5G Ad Hoc in 2015 to advance regulatory imperatives, deliver an

evolutionary path, address co-existence of technologies, and embrace disruptive
opportunities for 5G.
• From a disruptive perspective, ATIS is considering potential new architectures for
breakthrough 5G opportunities:
• Create new business models and advance new providers; as well as
• Optimize user experience on current and future devices.
• Use cases emphasize alternatives that optimize use of unlicensed spectrum in
combination with, and in preference to, licensed spectrum.
• ATIS’ 5G work also addresses on-demand mobility, local offload, edge caching and
other techniques to improve broadband performance, lower cost, and increase
capacity.

are addressed by current 3G RAT
4G Evolution
standards initiatives.
• Relationship of optimized 5G
core to evolved 4G core.
• Assess required interfaces

 5G ENHANCED CAPABILITIES

• 5G use cases require new

network functionality:
• Enhanced mobile broadband
• Massive M2M
• Ultra-reliable / low latency
• LTE continues to evolve.
• Assess 5G timing from
end-to-end perspective
(i.e., Radio + Core):
• Phase 1 vs. phase 2

 FLEXIBLE PARTNERING

• Commercial partnerships are

essential to meeting user
App Providers
expectations.
• Partnerships can address
coverage (e.g., between licensed Content Owners
carriers and Wi-Fi providers). MVNOs

• Partnerships can enrich services,

(e.g., between carriers and
content providers).
• 5G systems must support flexible
partnering in established and Unlicensed Access Licensed Carriers
emerging combinations.

 TRADING INFO FOR VALUE User Permissions

• Information about users, and

their behavior, is valuable to
advertisers and other groups.
• Operators may, with user
permission, obtain user data and
exchange with interested parties.
• Value obtained from user Value Exchange
information may be returned to Data Collection

 NEXT STEPS

• Complete requirements analysis.

• Continue analysis of “breakthrough” use cases.
• Continue collaboration with other 5G activities:
• 5G Americas, GSMA, NGMN, ITU, etc.
• Engage ATIS technical subject matter expertise for further analysis of key
requirements.
• Host 5G workshop at Big Communications Event on May 23, 2016, in
Austin, TX.
• Second white paper targeted for publication in 3Q 2016.
