[Legacy Report] 5G Overview: Hype and Reality

#AP/MTT #symposium #mini-show

Overview

5G is touted as the next great thing in wireless communications, coming your way any day now. This talk will discuss the likely 5G use cases (and which ones are unlikely) and the challenges and opportunities afforded. With new frequency bands come new challenges, and conventional base station architectures need to change to meet the challenges. Some of the architecture conclusions will be presented although further refinements are expected as customers and markets further discover their needs – and decide what can be afforded.

Mike Garyantes has worked in the wireless industry for about 20 years, mainly designing the hardware architecture for CDMA, WCDMA, and more recently LTE base stations for Alcatel-Lucent; Mike also worked on Radio Access Network (RAN) virtualization with a view toward migration to 5G. Most recently Mike has worked on unifying the 5G Product Vision within Nokia. Prior to his career in wireless, Mike worked in the medical diagnostics instruments field, and before that he worked at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory designing digital spectrum analyzers for NASA. Mike has an MSEE from USC and a BS degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
