2. 5G Networks
• Peak data rate
• ~ 20Gbps for downlink, ~10Gbps for uplink (~20x 4G)
• User “experienced” data rate
• ITU target: ~100Mbps (~10x 4G requirement)
• 3GPP target: ~300Mbps
• Mobility
• ~ 500km/h
• Latency
• target for control plane
latency 10ms
• target for user plane
latency 0.5ms – 4ms
• Connection density
• target connection density
~1,000,000 device/km2 in
urban environment (MMTC)
• Capacity
• target capacity ~1,000x 4G

3. Industrial production

and the role of 5G
The industrial revolution…
- “one size fits all” product manufacturing
- “mass-customization”
model serving different markets and customer groups
- “mass-personalization” and
”individualisation of mass-manufactured products”

4. Future manufacturing is about being dynamic and reconfigurable
Tuesday, 19 June 2018 4
The FoF…
- Highly automated
- 3D printing
- Virtualised control
- Highly adaptable/reconfigurable
- Wireless unit control,
management, and maintenance

5. From supplier to consumer
Manufacturing is about processes and collaboration

9. Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications and massive MTC for Industry
Clear5G project (EU-TW)
Aim: to design, develop, validate, and demonstrate an
integrated convergent wireless network for Machine Type
and Mission Critical Communication (MTC/MCC) services for
Factories of the Future (FoF)
FoF environments:
– time-critical processes
– dependence on timely delivered data from
massive numbers of sensors
– decisions having to be made and executed
in less than milliseconds

11. Clear5G
Tuesday, 19 June 2018 16
Defining key enablers necessary for MTC traffic in 5Gnetworks, aiming at the Factories-of-the-Future (FoF) environment.
Technical objectives
• PHY enhancements for reliable MTC
supporting massive numbers of devices,
extreme low latency, reduced signalling and
control overhead.
• MAC layer enhancements for integrated
convergent access supporting low latency,
high reliability, massive connection density,
and high energy and spectrum efficiency.
• RAN architecture and management
mechanisms aiming at latency,
heterogeneity, reliability, scalability and
manageability.
• Security enhancements at the physical layer
• Validate and demonstrate in testbed
facilities both in Europe and Taiwan.

12. Expected Results
KPI Targeted value Means to evaluate
Latency Down to 1 ms System level simulations, field trials
Reliability Up to 99.999% System level simulations, field trials
