1.3 The Evolution of 5G Mobile Technology Toward 2020 and Beyond 10:45 AM
Seizo Onoe, Executive Vice President and CTO, NTT DOCOMO, Tokyo, Japan
Recently, LTE has become the mainstream of mobile technologies; correspondingly, global
expectations for 5G are rapidly growing toward 2020 and beyond. Up to the generation of
4G, a representative technology for each generation emerged immediately after the
commercial launch of the previous one; However, today, while everyone talks about 5G, there
is no single technology representing it. Although researchers see some saturation in the
evolution of radio, combinations of existing technologies will continue to create new
possibilities and solutions. Thus, through such combinations, developments that are
considered impossible today will be achieved in the 5G era. For example, cellular systems
will provide cost-effective solutions with wide coverage at even higher frequencies with
broader bandwidth. In this talk, the history of mobile-system evolution up to 5G will be
reviewed. Then discussion will turn to 5G definition, its requirements, its technologies, and
their coverage for variable use cases and spectrum bands. Finally, DOCOMO’s recent R&D
activities targeting a 5G commercial launch in 2020 will be described.
1.4 The Road Ahead for Securely Connected Cars 11:15 AM
Lars Reger, CTO Automotive, NXP Semiconductors, Hamburg, Germany
The car is evolving: It is transforming from simply a mode of transport to a mobile
personalized-information hub! Cars are enabling consumers to seamlessly integrate their
mobile and wearable devices, and soon they will be able to operate autonomously.
The technologies that make autonomous driving a reality are clearly on the rise; they include
secure vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications, affordable compact radar detection, and
Ethernet for high-bandwidth in-car data transfer.
As well, self-driving cars will integrate a variety of wireless interfaces for exchanging data
with other vehicles and the surrounding intelligent traffic infrastructure – all aimed at
understanding the world around to optimize the traffic flow, reduce CO2 emissions, and avoid
accidents. While providing an essential element of autonomous driving, this connectivity also
exposes cars to vulnerabilities such as hackers and viruses.
Powerful reliable wireless technologies combined with the highest-level privacy and system
security are critical. This talk will discuss what it takes to realize the secure connected car of
the future.
