Leading towards Next Generation "5G" Mobile Services
August 3, 2015
by: Tom Wheeler, FCC Chairman
…The Commission took the first step in the fall of 2014 when it adopted
a Notice of Inquiry asking about expanded wireless use of higher-
frequency bands. We expect to follow up in the Notice of Inquire and
issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on the use of higher-
frequency bands for mobile and other uses this year…
…The NPRM will focus on developing a flexible regulatory framework
that will allow maximum use of higher-frequency bands by a wide variety
of providers…
…In addition, as an implementation of existing flexible rules, I foresee
lower-frequency bands playing a role in 5G. For example, the timing of
the incentive auction makes the 600 MHz band a prime candidate for
deployment of a wide-area 5G coverage layer. In much the same way
that 700 MHz paved the way for America’s world-leading deployment of
4G, so could 600 MHz accelerate U.S. deployment of 5G. …

Spectrum Spectrum Shortage
Why is 5G spectrum important in 2015?
• Identification of spectrum relies on regulators’ cooperation and
guidance in the WRCs in the years 2015 (WRC-15) and 2019 (WRC-19)
• WRC-15 should decide which 5G spectrum will be studied and
considered for identification at WRC-19
15
• 5G is coming!
5G applications and usage scenarios are envisioned
ITU-R administrations have agreed on a timeline for IMT-2020
Industry is preparing for specifications, prototypes and trials
• Spectrum needs of 5G must also be addressed as the
vehicle to deliver various 5G applications and use cases
Technological advancements enabling access to cm/mm-bands
bands in support of applications requiring large contiguous
channels
Access to more low frequency spectrum in support of 5G
applications requiring wide coverage areas
• Identification of sufficient and adequate spectrum relies
on regulators’ cooperation
5G Considerations – An Overview
16
• Methodology for arriving at
spectrum needs requires
consideration of:
– Multi-operator deployment
environments, inter- and intra-
network interference
considerations, guardbands, etc.
– Frequency reuse and need for
multiple carriers
– Radio interface capabilities
Usage
Scenarios (Applications)
High Level Requirements
Spectrum
Needs
Applications Driving Spectrum
• High-level requirements
identified and spectrum
implications described
– 5G applications have
different spectrum
requirements in terms of
frequency range (low,
high) and size (wide, ultra-
wide)
Variety of spectrum is needed for different use cases 18
High-level Requirement Potential Spectrum-Related Implications
Ultra-high speed radio links Ultra-wide carrier bandwidths, e.g. 500 MHz
Multi-gigabit front haul/backhaul
High speed radio links Wide carrier bandwidths, e.g. 100 MHz
Gigabit fronthaul/backhaul
Support for low to high-Doppler
environment Depends on the throughput requirement
Ultra-low latency Short range implications
Low latency Mid-short range implications
Ultra-high reliability radio links Severe impact of rain and other atmospheric effects on link availability in
higher frequencies, e.g. mm-wave, for outdoor operations
High reliability radio links Impact of rain and other atmospheric effects on link availability in higher
frequencies, e.g. mm-wave, for outdoor operations
Short range Higher frequencies, e.g. mm-wave
Long range Lower frequencies, e.g. sub-3 GHz
Ground/obstacle penetration Lower frequencies, e.g. sub-1 GHz
Operation in cluttered
environment
Diffraction dominated environment in lower frequencies
Reflection dominated environment in higher frequencies
Operation near fast moving
obstacles Frequency-selective fading channels
Mesh networking High-speed distributed wireless backhaul operating in-band or out-of-
band
Spectrum-Related Implications of 5G Requirements
19
Lower Frequency Bands
(< 6 GHz)
• Lower bands provide better
coverage through and
around obstacles and
flexible transition from 4G to
5G.
• Continued growth of data
and video demands more
spectrum.
• Additional spectrum 389-
1009 MHz needed by 2020,
according to ITU-R
Higher Frequency Bands
(>6 GHz)
• New technologies enable
use of higher bands
• Below 30 GHz important for
propagation/RF and above
30 GHz easier access to
wider channels
• Several hundred MHz per
operator (multi-operator)
Having access to a variety of spectrum bands in support
of all applications is key to success of 5G

The United States has
decided on proposing the
following ranges to be
studied for consideration at
WRC-19 (overlaps with
Regional CITEL proposal):
• As 5G will move to inclusion of a larger set of bands, global
harmonization becomes essential in the success of 5G as it
reduces:
– Device/deployment complexity
– Cost to consumers through economies of scale
Regional/Global Harmonization
• International/regional regulatory groups (ITU-R, CITEL, etc.)
could play a significant role now by agreeing on: – An agenda item for WRC-19 on 5G spectrum
– Studies of a range of frequencies from which a set of globally
harmonized bands could be identified for 5G
– Consideration of bands that could accommodate various 5G use
cases/applications
• The FCC role in helping the region becoming the leader in 5G:
– Remain engaged with industry (e.g. workshops)
– Work on service rules and licensing options for potential 5G bands (NPRM)
– Active support in WRC-15/19 discussions
25

• Shared with
incumbents
• Coordinated

shared bands
Unlicensed
• No registration or
individual
permission
• Rules

• Complement for
5G, e.g. in small
cell deployment
All licensing schemes have a role to play in 5G!
Licensing Aspects of 5G Spectrum

Protection of incumbents
Studies using realistic models and parameters
Consideration of mitigation techniques such as
sensing, database, beacons, etc.
Examples of prior experience (e.g. US AWS-3, 3.5 GHz band, etc.)
Solutions to Enable Access to New Spectrum
Semiconductor and Antenna technology
Beamforming and spatial multiplexing techniques
RFIC and hardware implementation advancements
Propagation-related challenges
Various impairments and ways to cope with them are described
Need for proper channel models stressed
27
A variety of bands is needed to address both coverage
and capacity needs of evolved 4G and 5G systems.
Frequencies beyond those traditionally used for cellular
systems, especially those above 6 GHz are important to
consider.
While the lower frequencies have better propagation
characteristics for better coverage and thus can support
both macro and small cell deployments, higher
frequencies can support wider bandwidth carriers (due to
large spectrum availability at mm-wave bands) for
providing very high peak data rates in specific areas
where traffic demands are very high.
Conclusions
28
Action is needed by regulators to ensure that new
spectrum needs are addressed for the evolution of 4G
and, to address societal needs and for the timely
introduction of 5G, to identify new spectrum ranges to be
studied in ITU-R.
Conclusions
Despite challenges, the mobile industry is capable of
extending mobile services into spectrum bands in the
range above 6 GHz.
As 4G systems evolve and 5G systems develop over time,
mobile spectrum bands below 6 GHz will be valuable to
allow the smooth migration from 4G LTE usage to 5G.
