 Multi-user Simulation Results – Uplink
 NR 3.5GHz provides a much better UL edge data rate due to its advantage in multi-user scheduling and interference
reduction;
 The average throughput of NR 3.5G is also much better than FDD 1.8G , which mainly comes from the frequency
efficiency increase via MU-MIMO in cell center area;
 The advantage of capacity and anti-interference in NR 3.5GHz can easily be transformed to coverage advantage

 Performance: SA outperforms NSA
Comparing to dual layer transmission for SA UE, only single layer UL
transmitting for NSA UE at 3.5GHz band, so that for NSA:
 UL coverage decays by 3dB: With only 23dBm transmitting power, UL coverage of Avg. DL Cell Throughput (Mbps) NSA SA SA Gain
3.5GHz will be severely impaired. 16TR 458.3 536.6 +17%
 Single user UL throughput reduces by 50%: Dual layer transmission of SU-MIMO is
lost at UL. 64TR 883.8 981.2 +11%
 Cell DL throughput drops by 10%: simultaneous MU-MIMO and SU-MIMO are not
designed for NSA

Performance: Requirements for typical 5G services
Service type Bandwidth Latency NSA Feasibility SA Feasibility Remark

HD video(4K) 18Mbps 10ms 4K will be the dominant video format in 5G era

VR/AR(4K) 45Mbps 16ms These requirements are only based on 4K, more
stringent requirements may be needed for higher
resolution
V2X(including 100Mbps 3ms Requirements for IoV are very complicated, here only
autonomous driving) refers to L5 level autonomous driving

Remote control 100M~1G 20ms Includes mechanic engineering, drone, remote

surgery

Intelligent <1Mbps 5ms Intelligent manufacture has wide coverage, here

manufacture mainly refers to robot in unmanned factories

Smart Grid *Kbps 5ms Here mainly refers to control requirements in smart
Grid, not including video surveillance

For initial 5G launch service may limited to eMBB type such as HD video or VR/AR, experienced data rate
of 50Mbps per user is a reasonable requirement, which is a important guide for 5G network planning

27
Deployment: SA makes deployment easier
 In NSA mode, LTE eNB requires a large modification. Complex interoperability between 5G NR and LTE. Tight coupling for 5G
and 4G leads to inflexible 5G vendor selection, complex operation and evolution.
 In SA mode, loose coupling for 5G and LTE makes evolution and deployment easier and simple.

 SMS over NAS ( new SMSF)  SMS over IP

• UE registers to SMSF when registering in 5G.
• MO path: UE->AMF->SMSF->SMSC
• MT path: SMSC->SMSF->AMF->UE
 Currently the SMSF protocol is only a draft. It is recommended to adopt
MAP for the SMSF-SMSC interface. SMSF shall report its GT to UDM via the
N21/Nudm interface for MT SMS routing.
• When a UE registers in IMS through 4G/5G network, S-CSCF executes
a 3rd party registration to IP-SM-GW.
• MO call: UE->P/S-CSCF->IP-SM-GW->SMSC
• MT call: SMSC->IP-SM-GW->P/S-CSCF->UE
 This solution is the same as 4G SMS over IMS.

Due to co-existence of different types of UEs and APPs, two solutions may both exist.
For voice-centric UEs, SMS over IP is the best choice, which implements both voice and SMS services.
For data-centric UEs, SMS over NAS is the best choice, which allows UEs not to load the IMS client and
simplifying the protocol stack for UEs. 44

 Use Cases and Deployment Strategy (1/ 2)

Use Case Deployment Strategy Rationale & Comment

mmWave FWA Option 3 or DC with NR in low bands Low coverage, low mobility requirements.

AR/VR eMBB slice in 3.5 GHZ, local CDN
(MEC)
URLLC NR FDD in sub1GHz band (700 MHz)
Massive IoT NR FDD in sub1GHz band (700 MHz),
although casuistics can be large
Latency less than 5ms to mitigate the “vertigo”
effect -> CDN introduction.
FDD NR as coverage layer, providing URLLC &
voice as primary services. Latency
requirement may be as low as 0.5 ms E2E
(tactile interaction).
Introduction of a new RRC mode, RRC
connected inactive situation.

In general, NW slicing is regarded as a basic enabler for multiple use cases re-inforcing the option 2 as primary
architecture option.

Some information about Maturity on URLLC

• According to our knowledge, commercial 5G chips are still focused on

eMBB service. Many URLLC related features are optional and not
supported.

• Enhanced URLLC features are still being standardized in R16

framework

• We are closely cooperating with top tier chipset vendor in

commercializing 5G eMBB networks and would also like to work with
Telefónica to push commercialization of URLLC as market matures
