Future Networks Initiative (FNI) Presents "5G Winter Session for Young Professionals"

#5G #YP's
Share

This one-day session on Saturday March 30, 2019 commencing at 9:30 AM provides a platform for Young Professionals (YP) as well as industry leaders, innovators, and researchers from the industry and academic community to collaborate and exchange ideas in the emerging 5G technology that may help in driving the standards and rapid deployment.

5G is a rapidly evolving and important technology. The event intended to give attendees the opportunity to learn about the architecture and promise of 5G wireless networks. No prior familiarity with the technology is required and the intent is to give the attendees a solid foundation in the technology, the current issues and the key user benefits.

Event is Free to Current (2019) IEEE Members, Non IEEE Member $25.00, Non IEEE Student Member $15.00

  Speakers

Dr. Reza Vaez-Ghaemi

Topic:

Emerging 5G Transport Networks

Emerging 5G Transport Networks pose new requirements for the transport networks. Drastic rise in bandwidth and ultra-low latency constitute two important aspects of these requirements. Addressing them necessitates a new split of functions in radio access networks. CPRI/eCPRI, IEEE, and xran/ORAN are among the organizations that have come up with new standards to design and characterize the new functional splits and xhaul network architectures. This presentation will start by listing the new requirements and challenges of current transport technologies, and focuses on describing the split options and related service level agreements. The highlights include eCPRI, xran/ORAN, IEEE 802.1cm, IEEE 1914.1, network slicing and 5G synchronization technologies.

He holds BS, MS and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the Technical University of Berlin, Germany.

Mr. Tajit Mehta

Topic:

Spectrum Use and Its Application To 5G

What is spectrum, why does it matter, and how does it apply to generational technology growth, in particular 5G development.  What are the 3Ps when it comes to spectrum and how do these distinctions matter? Why does the licensing of Spectrum matter to innovation? This talk will touch on these broad questions and the desire is to bring some understanding of spectrum use. 

Biography:

Mr. Tajit Mehta has worked for several International Telecommunications Carriers over the last 24 years. He has worked in Spectrum Development, International Cable functionality, Value Added Enhanced dialing products, and Automated Multilingual services, to Spectrum Acquisition for Wireless mobility.  Mr. Mehta Co-chaired the Global Development Committee (GDC) of the Wireless Communications Association International (WCAI), and currently negotiates Spectrum rights for Sprint.  Mr. Mehta holds an Master of Arts International Studies from University of Washington, Seattle and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from University of California, San Diego.
