W1: *5G and Beyond* Technologies for Ultra-Dense Environments

Organized by Kim Haesik (VTT, Finland) and Kenta Umebayashi (Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, Japan)

Abstract: Due to an increase in the number of mobile devices and mobile traffic, 5G and beyond architecture should include new requirements: scalability and flexibility. New 5G techniques like software-defined networks and network function virtualization will enable this 5G architecture, allowing us to deploy the network more flexibly. 5G and beyond networks will be more flexible than all predecessors, and these systems will lead a shift to ultra-dense small cell deployments; flexible network deployment and operation; multi-connectivity; dynamic traffic steering and resource management; intelligent use of network data; user participation in storage, relaying, content delivery and computation within the network; coexistence of heterogeneous networks and local standalone 5G systems; and the use of smart antennas for higher capacity, interference mitigation, and operations in higher frequencies. To address the increasing need for high target requirements in ultra-dense environments that adapt to 5G network needs, this workshop covers topics in crowded environments, is the outcome of close collaborations between EU and Japan, and is organized by the EU-Japan Joint funded project 5G-Enhance under the 5GPPP initiative.
