A TIMELY OVERVIEW BY INDUSTRY EXPERTS OF ONGOING DEVELOPMENTS IN THE RUN UP TO 5G ROLLOUT This book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest research and standardization progress towards the 5th generation (5G) of mobile communications technology and beyond. It covers a wide range of topics from 5G use cases and their requirements, to spectrum, 5G end-to-end (E2E) system architecture including core network (CN), transport network (TN) and radio access network (RAN) architecture, network slicing, security and network management. It further dives into the detailed functional design and the evaluation of different 5G concepts, and provides details on planned trials and pre-commercial deployments across the globe. While the book naturally captures the latest agreements in 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) New Radio (NR) Release 15, it goes significantly beyond this by describing the likely developments towards the final 5G system that will ultimately utilize a wide range of spectrum bands, address all envisioned 5G use cases, and meet or exceed the International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) requirements for the year 2020 and beyond (IMT-2020). 5G System Design: Architectural and Functional Considerations and Long Term Research is based on the knowledge and consensus from 158 leading researchers and standardization experts from 54 companies or institutes around the globe, representing key mobile network operators, network vendors, academic institutions and regional bodies for 5G. Different from earlier books on 5G, it does not focus on single 5G technology components, but describes the full 5G system design from E2E architecture to detailed functional design, including details on 5G performance, implementation and roll-out. Includes contributions from the 5th Generation Public Private Partnership (5G PPP) projects 5G-Crosshaul, 5GEx, 5G-NORMA, 5G-Xhaul, COHERENT, CHARISMA, FANTASTIC-5G, Flex5GWare, METIS-II, mmMAGIC, Selfnet, and SPEED-5G.Provides an overview of 5G communications technology to the non-expert reader along with details and the latest findings from research and standardization for technical experts. 5G System Design: Architectural and Functional Considerations and Long Term Research is an essential resource for anyone who wants to obtain the latest comprehensive overview on 5G communications technology, whether a communications expert or someone who wants to get acquainted with the technology.
