Abstract :

3GPP has named Release-18 as the starting point of 5G-Advanced, an intermediate step between current commercial 5G networks and future 6G networks. As such, it is expected that 5G-Advanced will introduce many technologies later being part of 6G. Some examples being mentioned as potential candidate for 5G-Advanced are AI/ML-based radio access and simultaneous transmission/reception on the same frequency (“full-duplex operation”). The content of 5G-Advanced is not yet decided upon although it is expected that 3GPP will have taken some decisions by the spring of 2022, making this panel a timely and highly relevant discussion for anyone interested in the evolution of 5G technologies towards 6G.

IP-2 : 6G Vision, Technologies, and Roadmap   

Tuesday, May 17 14:00 - 15:30  /  Location: Auditorium, Coex

Moderator : Juho Lee (Fellow, Samsung Electronics, Korea)

Panelists :

Takehiro Nakamura (Senior VP, NTT DOCOMO, Japan)

Stefan Parkvall (Senior Expert, Ericsson Research, Sweden)

John Smee (Senior VP Engineering, Qualcomm, USA),

Jaehoon Chung (Research Fellow, LG Electronics, Korea)

Young-Jo Ko (Director, ETRI, Korea)

Abstract :

While the mobile industry is now focusing on the realization of what 5G technologies promised, we can see that initial consideration about the next generation of mobile communications, i.e., 6G, is already happening. Considering the general trend of introducing new services with higher requirements over different generations of communication systems, it would be natural to expect that 6G technologies need to be developed to envision more advanced services than 5G. Examples of such new services include truly immersive XR, mobile hologram, and digital replica. Initial investigation already suggests rough estimates of performance requirements for 6G such as 1 Tbps peak rate, 1 Gbps user-experienced data rate, and 0.1 ms air latency. Use of terahertz spectrum would naturally be considered to provide such high data rate. Novel approaches, e.g., reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, further advanced duplex technologies, use of AI/ML, would need to be considered to satisfy the expected performance requirements. The proposed panel will be a good opportunity to exchange initial views about vision, technologies, and roadmap for 6G.

Abstract :

Intelligent and autonomous driving has been emerging as one of the most prominent advances in the industry of vehicles. Road vehicles including passenger cars and trucks as well as aerial vehicles like drones are expected to be capable of sensing their environment and moving safely with little or no human input, thereby making people’s daily lives safer, more efficient, and more convenient. Connectivity is considered as a key component in enabling such an advance, and 5G has been designed from its beginning as a communication tool for intelligent and autonomous vehicles. 5G’s high data rate is suitable to deliver rich map and sensor information to the vehicles in order to enhance environment sensing. Support of ultra reliability and low latency communications (URLLC) in 5G allows the vehicles to send and receive critical information that should be delivered with a very short latency and almost zero error for the safe decision of vehicles’ maneuver and reaction to an emerging risk. There are a lot of efforts to launch successful commercialization of 5G-based intelligent/autonomous vehicles, and in parallel with it, evolution is ongoing towards Beyond-5G in the standardization organizations and academia to find out technical solutions that can address the industry requirements better.

Abstract :

With the increasing impact of climate change globally, many nations have announced carbon neutrality goals by mid 21st century. As a leading industrial sector and a key driven force for social and economic progression/transformation, the ICT industry shall be a key contributor for global carbon neutrality and sustainable growth. In 4G and 5G, there have been efforts in making communications system more energy efficient such as minimizing always-on signaling, enable power saving mode, etc. But still, with the exponential growth of data volume, increasing complexity of communication systems, emergence of new services, we see a steady increase in power consumption over generations. As the industry started working on designing the B5G and 6G communications systems, sustainability and energy efficiency need to be considered as one of the foremost goals in system design. This session will gather experts to discuss green communications for B5G/6G. The discussion intents to address two main questions: 1) how to make the communication system itself more energy efficient and sustainable; 2) how can communication system better help the society and other industrials for achieving the global carbon neutrality goal. The session will discuss gaps, challenges and new air interface and network features needed in B5G/6G system to address these two questions. We expect a lively exchange of views as green communication is a very challenging and very important topic. It is hoped that new research and development activities will be stimulated by such discussions.

Abstract :

Full Duplex Radio (FDR) is one of promising radio transmission technologies toward 5G NR-advanced and 6G. The main benefits from FDR application are expected as spectral efficiency enhancement, radio link latency reduction, uplink coverage enhancement as well as mitigation of duplexing restriction issue for P2P and Communication/Sensor fusion, and so on. While the promised gain of FDR is expected to resolve the pain points for future wireless communication, there remains a doubt on technical maturity of FDR transceiver implementation in particular in terms of in-device self interference cancellation and inter-device cross-link interference mitigation/rejection capabilities. In addition, the way of implementation and the required KPIs for such capabilities in FDR transceiver may be different depending upon use cases and applied communication environments. In this session, the invited experts will briefly provide their view on FDR transceiver solutions and its application scenarios, and discuss the focused solution development topics and the expected phased approach in 5G NR-advanced and 6G.

Abstract :

With the recent deployment of commercial 5G systems, the technology evolution is moving towards more autonomous, self-configuring, intelligent networks and devices to support the new forthcoming data- and process-hungry applications of the next generation of the communication system. AI is considered a good fit for complicated non-convex optimization problems that are lacking optimal analytical solutions, and computation-intensive problems that are too costly to solve in real-time. Research works have provided promising results in applying AI in different use cases, ranging from physical- to application-layers, from edge- to core network-services and applications. Taking also into consideration the advances in big data computing technology, AI applied to the wireless domain has the potential to reshape the design and deployment of wireless networks and enable the formation of a self-adaptive, more power-aware, smart, and resilient communication ecosystem. In the proposed panel, we will explore and discuss the potentials and challenges of leveraging AI for the next generation of communication networks.

IP-8 : Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) from Academic Research to Industrial Practice  

Thursday, May 19 16:00 - 17:30  /  Location: E5, Conference Room E, Coex

Abstract :

With the significant publicity campaigns around Quantum Technologies and specifically Quantum Communication, and the flurry of Standardization and Certification as well as industrial cooperation activities (ETSI, ISO, ITU-T, CEN-CENELEC, GSMA) we intend to have a serious discussion on the practical applicability of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). On the one hand  it is paramount to understand what are the realistic or to be anticipated risks against which QKD can ensure protection. On the other it is to be elaborated, how  QKD can be compared to suggested alternatives, specifically Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC). Further the utilization strategy of QKD is to be discussed. Very often some partially unrealistic and often exaggerated requirements such as dedicated fiber infrastructures and trust centers at short distances plus expectations for a specific and very expensive technology are put forward that make QKD technology appear unaffordable financially, This is to be addressed critically in conjunction with issues such as authentication in these cases. It is to be understood what practically relevant but affordable use cases can be addressed using QKD.

Abstract :

With the deployment of 5G networks and the start of standardizing 5G-Advanced, both academia and industry are exploring actively into future technologies for next generation wireless communication systems. Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) have been envisioned to reduce the energy consumption and improve the spectral efficiency of wireless networks by artificially re-configuring the propagation environment of electromagnetic waves. RIS-based transmission, in which the large number of small, low-cost, and passive elements on RIS only reflect the incident signal with an adjustable reflection amplitude and phase shift without requiring a dedicated energy source for radio frequency processing, decoding or encoding, is completely different from existing active relays and open up a new area of research for wireless communications. RISs are being discussed actively in regional and global standardization development organizations and are likely to become a critical component of 5G-Advanced networks.
