A Free public lecture at the MNSI
Wednesday, 20th April 2016
5G networks are anticipated to be soft, green, and super-fast. They are expected to deploy in the 2020s to satisfy the challenging demands of mobile communication.
After several years of worldwide pursuit of 5G solutions, the campaign on 5G standards has just begun. Characterised by a mixed set of KPIs like data rates, latency, mobility, energy efficiency, and traffic density, 5G services demand a fundamental revolution on the end-to-end network architecture and key technologies design.
At this mid-point of the 5G journey, we need to ask: are we on the right track to provide 5G solutions?
Our speaker is Dr Chih-Lin I, who has over 30 years experience in wireless communications and is currently Chief Scientist of Wireless Technologies at the China Mobile Research Institute.
Dr I will give a comprehensive overview of China Mobile?s 5G solutions, including an end-to-end network architecture with User Centric Network and Soft Defined Air Interface and the corresponding enabling technologies like C-RAN, NGFI, MCD etc presented as imperative solutions for diversified set of usage scenarios.
She will also talk to China Mobile's views on standardisation timeline and work scope, spectrum strategy, prototyping and field trial plans.
This is a free MNSI public lecture advertised for the interest of TelSoc members. This is not a ticketed event, but attendees should register to secure a seat.
