5G architecture options – full set


Joint RAN/SA meeting |June 14th 2016, Busan
Deutsche Telekom AG
Outline of architecture options in the light of 5G
and “acceleration” discussion
 Two radio technologies have to be considered in the 5G discussions
 LTE (in its Rel-15 version) aka “eLTE” in sa2
 Next generation Radio (“nr”)
 plus radio level aggregation of both radio technologies in 2 variants

 Two Core Network concepts have to be considered in the 5G discussions


 EPC (with potential evolutions)
 Next Generation Core („nGcn“) S1_C
S1_U

 This results in 12 options (next slides) NG2 (Controlplane)


NG3 (Userplane)

Questions and conclusions

 scenario 1) is legacy  11 options remain

 Does 3GPP need to support all remaining 11 architecture options ?


 Is there a phasing possible / desirable ?
 How to ensure forward compatibility in order to avoid global
fragmentation, especially considering roaming ?
