WirelessHD Technology
http://www.wirelesshd.org/

 A specification for next generation wireless interface


for consumer electronics
 Especially, for streaming high-definition content from
source devices to high-definition displays, e.g., HDTV
 Data rates as high as 20 Gb/s
 Use unlicensed 60 GHz band (57 GHz to 64 GHz): 7
GHz spectrum
 Use smart antenna technology

5G Wireless Systems (1)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5G

 5G is a term used to denote the next major phase of


mobile telecommunications standards beyond the
current 4G standards. 5G is also referred to as beyond
2020 mobile communications technologies. 5G does
not describe any particular specification in any official
document published by any telecommunication
standardization body.
 Li-Fi, or light fidelity, is a 5th generation visible light
communication network. Li-Fi uses light-emitting
diodes to transmit data, rather than radio waves like
Wi-Fi.

11
5G Wireless Systems (2)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5G

 Massive Dense Networks (a.k.a., Massive Distributed


MIMO)
 Massive MIMO provides green flexible small cells

(5G Green Dense Small Cells). A transmission


point (or access point) is equipped with a very large
number of antennas that simultaneously serve
multiple users. With massive MIMO, multiple
messages for several terminals can be transmitted
on the same time-frequency resource, maximizing
beamforming gain while minimizing interference.

12
5G Wireless Systems (3)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5G

 Advanced interference and mobility management


 This can be achieved with the cooperation of

different transmission points with overlapped


coverage
 It encompasses the option of a flexible usage of

resources for uplink and downlink transmission in


each cell, the option of direct device-to-device
transmission and advanced interference
cancellation techniques.

5G Wireless Systems (4)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5G

 Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN)


 C-RAN, sometimes also referred as Centralized-RAN, is a
new cellular network architecture for the future mobile
network infrastructure. It was first introduced by China Mobile
Research Institute in April 2010 in Beijing, China.
 C-RAN is a centralized, cloud computing based new radio
access network (commonly known as cellular network)
architecture that can support 2G, 3G, 4G system and future
wireless communication standards. Its name comes from the
four 'C's in the main characters of C-RAN system, which are
"Clean, Centralized processing, Collaborative radio, and real-
time Cloud Radio Access Network”.

14
METIS 2020 Project:
https://www.metis2020.com/

 METIS 2020 Project is an EU project.


 The METIS overall technical goal is to provide a
system concept that supports 1000 times higher
mobile system spectral efficiency as compared with
4G/LTE systems.
 5GrEEn project is linked to project METIS and focuses
on the design of Green 5G Mobile networks. Its goal is
to develop guidelines for the definition of new
generation network with particular care of energy
efficiency, sustainability and affordability aspects.

15
Femto Cell Technology

 Objective: address a common problem with mobile telephony,


i.e., dead zones inside buildings/houses.
 Solution: set up a femto-cell base-station/access-point in the
dead zones.
 A femto cell has a smaller coverage than a pico cell.
(In English, pico means 10-12 ; femto means 10-15.)
 How does it work?
 End-users buy and install a small femto device, similar in

concept to a Wi-Fi access point, i.e., a personal cellular site.


The device uses your Internet connection to connect to your
mobile provider’s network and route your phone calls.
 It may cause interference to other users.

Wireless networks

Cellular network

Addressed by EEL 6591 (Wireless Networks) 17


How much data capacity is obtainable?
 Calculation:
 Assume area = 10 sq-km

 Number of users = 10000

 Current spectral efficiency: 0.5 bits/sec/Hz (typical)

 Assume bandwidth = 5 GHz

 So, total available capacity = 2.5 Gbps

 Capacity per user = 250 kbps

 Worse: Actual bandwidth available is perhaps less


than a quarter of the above because …
 Most of the spectrum has been allotted to government,
military, scientific research, TV/radio, etc.
Need efficient communication designs
18
