Panel: Customer, Service and Network Design in 5G: Operational and Management
Challenges
Description: The customer experience has been raising up as the major
design and deployment driver in 5G. Telecom operator’s major
revenues are strongly related to customer experience management, which
in 5G will be, more than ever, dependent on different technologies such
as radio, networking, cloud, analytics, etc. The aim of this session is
to bring different dimensions to the traditional thinking of the design
and operational aspects, and focus to outline the associated research
challenges related to service- and customer-centric designs in 5G. This
session gives an overview of potential research directions related to
the aforementioned 5G service, along with the network operational
aspects and their implications to customer experience. We aim to outline
different dimensions in comparison with the traditional
network(-technology)-centric thinking and focus on the associated
research challenges.

Keynote: Convergence of Broadcasting and Broadband Wireless
System in 5G Environment
Description: Broadcasting, as a one-to-many communication system, has not
been fully exploited in the current broadband wireless system. As the
ever-increasing demand for high volume of videos over broadband services
continue, there will be over-loading pressure on the core network of
broadband wireless system. Broadcasting/multicasting is an efficient way to
distribute the most watched video and multimedia services to a large number
of audiences, which can reduce the pressure on network and preserve
valuable spectrum resources. This presentation gives a brief introduction
on the next generation digital TV system, a.k.a. ATSC 3.0, physical layer
technologies, and the related R&D works conducted at CRC Canada. These
technologies could greatly improve the LTE-Broadcast (eMBMS) and
Point-to-Multipoint communication system in 5G ecosystem. In this
presentation, the possible improvements of the eMBMS system are
discussed.
The future technology
trends and possible road map toward the convergence of broadcasting
system into a unified broadband wireless system are presented.
