Content, Context & Insentives

5

The owner of the space must have a role and insentive in building, operating and maintaining the network as well as creating context related content and services.

How Operator Roles May Change in 5G?

• Wide coverage area expensive to maintain
• Lot of traffic in densely placed small cells
• Spectrum regulation is going towards shared spectrum
• Content will be changing much faster and lot of content

relevant only to the context will be there; users/machines generate lot of content

• Access and content provisioning will finally be separated
• Emergence of new local micro operators?

Micro Operator - uO

• A virtual operator does not have own infrastructure but

has own customer base.

• A micro operator (uO) has own infrastructure but not

necessarily own customer base.

• Revenue models for uOs are not based on monthly fees
• f bytes.

– Part of property offering – inclusion to rent – Part of customer service model – Improving the efficiency of public service

• Possible only via changes in regulation.

uO concept:

uOs build and operate indoor small cell networks and offer local context related services and content

Technical building blocks:

• Dense small cell

networks

• Network

virtualization

• Mobile edge

computing

• Operation in

higher carrier frequencies

• Spectrum sharing

and management techniques

Regulatory building blocks:

• Availability of 5G

spectrum

• Local micro

licenses

• Rights to build

indoor networks

• Rules for

collection and use

• f data
• Collaboration/

competition rules with MNOs

Oulu 5G Test Network

2015 2016 2018 2019 2020 2017

Network operation by VTT and University of Oulu, Nokia radio and core network products

Nationally funded (Tekes 5th Gear) research trial project Campus area, includes private network (VTT) and public network (University)

State-of-art LTE 5G Proof of Concepts LTE-M live network performance tests 5G vs. LTE air interface and e2e performance Step-by-step towards commercial 5G New 5G technologies, use cases, applications and business models http://www.5gtn.fi/

Oulu 5G Test Network Offerings

• Real-life Lab for testing 5G portfolio, New Services,

Applications and Business Models

• Current status

– Outdoor & indoor coverage built @2.6GHz and 3.5GHz (outdoor coming soon). – Pre-commercial 5G radio with adaptive beamformer @28GHz by early 2017. – Commercial EPC for 100k users under installation. – Several Mobile Edge Computing servers already installed – IoT extension with ~1000 nodes completed during 2017. – 100 testphones currently; target to offer SIM for students and personnel to enable testing with 15-20000 users at the campus area

A real operator grade 5G test network

5G Proof-of-Concept Radios Tested in Live Network

LTE-A and 5G protype radios EPC with possibility for edge computing Our target is to bring in 5G PoC radios to verify, e.g., operation of adaptive beamforming at mmWaves in a real network.

Roadmap for 2016-2018

2016

• LTE support for M2M
• PoC 5G radios
• Virtualized, cloud based core
• Test environment available for 3rd

parties

• Real-time network management

running

• IMS / VoLTE
• Network programming APIs
• CDN services
• Trusted and non-trusted WLAN

integration + controllers

2017

• LTE-U / LWA
• PoC for Gbit/s level data rate over

mmWave radio link

• PoC for ms level latency over 5G
• 8k video stream
• 5G channel model validation
• SDN/OpenFlow controlled network

transport

• Co-operation with other research

projects

• Co-operation with new industry

players

2018

• 5G Network Architecture validation
• Micro-operator business model

research & validation

• Connections to 5G test beds around

the world

• Capabilities on performing tests on

major foreseen 5G frequencies

• Detailed real-life tests on 5G link and

radio features (massive MIMO, ultra- wide band, etc.)

• Network-level performance tests with

novel core functionality
