mmWave and Higher Frequencies • Short-term Focus: Fixed Wireless Access and Indoor Hotspots • mmWave for Mobile Access is challenging Technical ◦ New CR’s to be adopted in Rel 16 • Reliable control • Power in the uplink • Antennas and beam management • Commercial cost of running fiber to each gNodeB is very high Business • Technology is expensive • IAB is needed ◦ IAB may undergo several updates

NR-U: The Need for More Spectrum • FCC and ETSI investigating the band 5.92 925 5 - 7.12 125 5 Band Freq Range Max Power Ma GHz z for 5G NR U-NII Low / U-NII-1 / U-NII Indoor 5.150 – 5.250 50 mW ◦ WiFi and 5G coexistence – LAA and LBT ◦ Opportunities for optimization U-NII Mid / U-NII-2A 5.250 – 5.350 250 mW U-NII-2B 5.350 – 5.470 — • Drivers in the US: Apple, AT&T, BCOM, Cisco, U-NII Worldwide / U-NII-2C / U-NII- Facebook, Google, HPE, Intel, Microsoft, QCT, 2-Extended / U-NII-2e 5.470 – 5.725 250 mW Verizon U-NII Upper / U-NII-3 5.725-5.850 1 W • Headwind from satellite companies (e.g. INTELSAT & DSRC/ITS / U-NII-4 5.850 – 5.925 — SES): interference might reduce performance U-NII-5 5.925 – 6.425 1 W • mmWave spectrum also identified and under U-NII-6 6.425 – 6.525 250 mW investigation U-NII-7 6.525 – 6.875 1 W U-NII-8 6.875 – 7.125 250 mW • FCC: Unlicensed use of the 6 GHz band; notice of proposed rulemaking

NR-U Use Cases Future • LAA NR-U Predictable ◦ Boost existing deployments resources ◦ Better user experience with higher speeds 5G CoMP • Ex: AR, VR, AGV Spatial sharing • Stand-alon alone NR-U ◦ Private 5G Networks Flexible sharing • IIoT • Enterprise broadband ◦ Open mobile broadband CH 1 CH 2 CH 3 CH 4 CH 5 CH 6 • Neutral host 57.24-59.4 59.4-61.56 61.56-63.72 63.72-65.88 65.88-68.04 68.04-70.2 • Neighborhood network USA Europe China Japan Korea Canada
