Report doc.: IEEE /0547r0 “The NGMN Alliance is an industry organization of world-wide Telecom Operators, Vendors and Research Institutes (see and was founded by international network operators in Its objective is to ensure that the functionality and performance of next generation mobile network infrastructure, service platforms and devices will meet the requirements of operators and, ultimately, will satisfy end user demand and expectations. “ 1 “It is the NGMN Alliance goal to drive and guide the development of all future mobile broadband technology enhancements with a focus on “5G”. The targets of these activities are supported by the partnership of worldwide leading operators, vendors, universities, and successful cooperation with other industry organizations.” Who is the NGMN Alliance?* May 2015 Slide 1Jeorge Hurtarte, Teradyne 1.

Report doc.: IEEE /0547r0 Intention and Required Actions of the NGMN Liaison Letter * 1. The intention of the liaison is to introduce to the IEEE on the scope and objectives of the NGMN 5G initiative. 2. The NGMN would like to invite IEEE to provide feedback on the activities and to make proposals on potential aspects to be considered in their work. 3. The NGMN wants to inform the IEEE that it is their intention to keep IEEE updated on their activities in the area of 5G at major milestones. 4. Furthermore, NGMN would like to understand and to receive information on IEEE’s current and potential future activities in the area of 5G. 5. It would be of particular interest for NGMN if there is input required from the NGMN 5G initiative and the dates and milestones by which the input from NGMN would be required. 6. The NGMN would like a representative at the NGMN Industry Conference & Exhibition in Frankfurt/Germany on March 2015, where the NGMN 5G White Paper will be publicly introduced and distributed for the first time. 7. The NGMN looks forward to deeper and further collaboration with the IEEE on 5G related activities. May 2015 Slide 2Jeorge Hurtarte, Teradyne * Source:

Report doc.: IEEE /0547r0 NGMN Spectrum Highlights* “Leverage spectrum – Higher frequencies (e.g., centimetre and millimetre waves) and licence exempt spectrum should be exploited to complement …as a complement to the available mainstream licensed spectrum resource…simultaneous connections to multiple access points need to be supported.“ “A new RAT could be motivated by higher carrier frequencies (e.g., bands above 6GHz), lower latency [E2E: < 1ms], and specific use cases.” “In order to facilitate migration towards 5G, NGMN recommends that LTE/ LTE-Advanced and Wi-Fi, as well as their evolution, are to be supported by the new 5G network design. Thus, the access- agnostic network functions should accommodate any new RATs, as well as LTE/ LTEAdvanced, Wi-Fi, and their evolution.” May 2015 Slide 5Jeorge Hurtarte, Teradyne * Source:

Report doc.: IEEE /0547r0 NGMN Spectrum Highlights (continued)* “A fundamental requirement is that operators must be free to “re-farm” their existing mobile spectrum holdings for 5G as well as being able to gain timely access to spectrum that is already harmonised for mobile but is not yet assigned and additional spectrum that may be identified at the ITU World Radiocommunication Conference 2015 (WRC-15).” “NGMN has identified potential new requirements for MHz of spectrum located above 6 GHz to support very high data rates and shorter-range connectivity and believes that this should be studied and if appropriate addressed at the conference after WRC-15.” May 2015 Slide 6Jeorge Hurtarte, Teradyne * Source:

Report doc.: IEEE /0547r0 NGMN Spectrum Highlights (continued)* “Whilst in a 5G context access to additional spectrum above 6 GHz is of interest, it should be emphasized that in general low frequency spectrum (below 6GHz), especially sub- 1GHz, is absolutely essential for an economical delivery of mobile services…” “Spectrum below 1 GHz is useful for coverage (rural and indoor) and spectrum above 6 GHz is useful for very high data rates and shorter-range connectivity.” “Supplementary spectrum, made available on a shared basis, will be required to deliver extra capacity where needed… Access to licence-exempt spectrum as a useful supplement for certain applications and may be seamlessly integrated into the 5G platform.” May 2015 Slide 7Jeorge Hurtarte, Teradyne * Source:

Report doc.: IEEE /0547r0 NGMN Spectrum Highlights (Continued)* “Spectrum flexibility can bring benefits of spectral efficiency gains, examples include: increasing exclusive spectrum with emphasis on improving regional/global harmonisation; smart carrier aggregation to use spare frequencies; spectrum trading; and managing fair access to supplementary shared spectrum.” “In 5G, network based positioning in three-dimensional space should be supported, with accuracy from 10 m to <1 m at 80% of occasions, and better than 1 m for indoor deployments. Tracking of high speed devices will be required to provide this location accuracy in a real-time manner.” May 2015 Slide 8Jeorge Hurtarte, Teradyne * Source:
