Abstract

For the last several decades, mobile technologies have dramatically changed our lives and led a technological revolution. 3GPP has announced that the first 5G specification (a.k.a. 5G New Radio) is complete. As the first commercial 5G networks are expected in 2019, we are about to take another major step in transforming our mobile environments.

This seminar will discuss different aspects of 5G technology, starting with a quick overview of an evolutionary path of 5G technology, including completed and planned capabilities. The seminar will then discuss the 3GPP 5G standard and key 5G enabling technologies such as network slicing, massive MIMO & beamforming, and unlicensed spectrum. A Q&A session will follow with an outlook of future 5G technology challenges.
