KEYNOTE SPEECH| 09.00 | 5G: a Total Radio & Core Network for all Industries Innovation will thrive and networks will transition from an operator centric model to a more dynamic and user driven model. New radio technologies, RAN architectures, radio transport interaction and network slices will change as a result of these new requirements.  Lars Bergendahl Manager 5G Program, Ericsson |
5G FRAMEWORK & PERSPECTIVES
| 09.30 | Standards and Spectrum for IMT-2020 | |
 Covering the outcomes of the World Radiocommunication Conference 2015 and the ITU-R workplan for the development of the 5G radio standards and the identification of radio frequency spectrum for its operation on a global basis. Colin Langtry, Chief, Study Groups Department, Radiocommunication Bureau, ITU |
||
| 10.00 | Network Slicing in the RAN | |
 In 5G the concept of network slices is often discussed as a means of providing logically separated e2e networks running on a common infrastructure in order to support different service requirements.Discussing how this can be implemented in the Radio Access Network, RAN which will use a set of different radio standards including LTA Advanced but likely new ones and upgrades of 3G. This also will be combined with new RAN architectures such as Cloud RAN Fronthaul and Interaction with the transport network.Mattias Wahlqvist, Program Manager, Technology Strategy, Ericsson |

| 10.30 | COFFEE BREAK | |
| 11.00 | 5G: Why Wait? | |
 There is an argument to suggest that the building blocks of the 5G network can be put in place sooner than the schedule associated with the 5G air interface. Providing a view of those network building blocks which are already known, and making the case for deploying them as preparation for 5G. This deployment will accelerate industry initiative and support operators in milking the 4G/LTE-A network. At the same time, it will build a 5G-ready access and backhaul network. Anthony Magee, Business Development Director, Adva Optical |
||
| 11.30 | Applications On The Edge – Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) & The SDN Enabled Mobile Backhaul | |
 Exploring the best location to deploy MEC, in the pre-aggregation or Hub-site, and what this means for the MEC solution in terms of security, since the traffic is IPsec encapsulated and how SDN techniques can be used to chain applications to allow this deployment method to offer service for customers. Phil Lamoureux, Juniper Networks |
| 12.30 | LUNCH |
SERVICE PROVIDERS STRATEGIES| 14.00 | Telefonica: Focusing on NFV Orchestration | |
 Telefonica has a strong commitment to 5G development and has strongly embraced the European 5G initiatives, and in special the 5G PPP. Telefonica takes part in nine projects of the first phase of the initiative, with six of them having a relevant focus on Software Network techniques. Among them, the SONATA project aims at building an advanced NFV orchestration system able to address 5G requirements. Diego Lopez Garcia, Telefonica |
||
| 14.30 | Orange: Entering the Standardization Phase | |
 Sharing the up-to-date Orange vision on the 5G market opportunities and associated requirements. In addition, operator guidance on the technical directions that 5G should take are proposed, taking into account practical deployment considerations. Eric Hardouin, Access Networks Research Coordinator, Orange |
| 15.00 | COFFEE BREAK |
VIRTUALIZED & SOFTWARE EVOLUTIONS OF 5g| 15.30 | A Virtual SDN Enabled Architecture for Implementing RAN and Core Services at the Network Edge | |
 Showing how to implement a vRAN, integrated with other core and edge services, using SDN Controller and other open source software. One can use Opencontrail, ODL Lithium or any other SDN Controller of their choice that supports service chaining. Similarly VMs can be implemented using Openstack Orchestrator, Ubuntu Guest O/S and KVM hypervisor. The proposed architecture is ideally suitable for augmenting the new security paradigm to address these challenges. Falguni Sarkar, Juniper Networks |
||
| 16.00 | Presenting the Mobile Edge Computing Initiative | |
 Mobile edge computing offers IT service environment and cloud computing capabilities in the RAN as well as exposure to real-time radio network and context information. The ETSI ISG MEC works on the reference architecture and the specification of the platform API. The specification of the API is critical to ensure mass deployment and increased market scale. Nurit Sprecher, ISG MEC chair |
||
| 16.30 | Using Virtualized Instrumentation to Assure the Migration to 4.5 & 5G | |
 Focusing on using open standards to implement a virtualized ‘instrumentation layer’ to gather uniform performance KPIs from existing infrastructure, bridging the data plane with the SDN control plane. Uses cases from SK Telecom and other leading MNOs will be used to illustrate practical deployments and benefits of this approach. Claude Robitaille, Chief Technology Officer, Accedian |
||
| 17.00 | Content Centric Networks in Mobile Environments | |
| Content Centric Networks (CCNx) is an innovative next generation network technology that names data packets rather than using host addresses. Describing the CCNx networking approach, with emphasis on its benefits for 5G mobile environments, where network softwarization and virtualization will have prominent roles in the continuous deployment of new services and features. Authors: Marc Mosko, PARC and Paul Polakos, Cisco  Paul Polakos Cisco Fellow |
| 17.30 | 5G Technical and Spectrum Challenges, Business Case, 5G Roadmap | |
Moderator: Latif Ladid President 5G WORLD ALLIANCE Participants: Colin Langtry, Chief, Study Groups Department, Radiocommunication Bureau, ITU Diego Lopez Garcia, Telefonica Eric Hardouin, Access Networks Research Coordinator, Orange Lars Bergendahl, Manager 5G Program, Ericsson |
