4G Status and Pitfalls LTE tailored to maximize performance by enforcing strict synchronism and orthogonality. However, emerging trends reveal major pitfalls: MTC communications: bulky procedures to ensure strict synchronism Collaborative schemes: tremendous efforts to collect gains under the premise of strict synchronism and orthogonality Digital Agenda/Carrier aggregation: forces systems to deal with fragmented spectrum Localized Communication: communication sources and sinks might be in proximity direct comm or meshed comm w/o fixed infrastructure Special Application Requirements: reliability, latency, event triggering delay might be outside of standard cellular requirements Heterogeniouty: in Network Arcitectures, Deployments and Applications Wireless for Everything: Access, Backhaul, Fronthaul, Direct Comm 29.08.2013 6

Unfied Frame Vision for Lower Part of Spectrum (< 6 GHz) Classical bit pipe traffic (type I) with highend spectral efficiency exploits orthogonality and synchronicity, wherever it is possible, e.g. when serving cell-centre users. Vertical layering at common time-frequency resources generates a non-orthogonal signal format supporting interference limited transmissions more efficiently (heterogeneous cell structures and cell edge). For high-volume data applications in those cell areas (type II), a multi-cell, multiuser transceiver concept is required. Machine-Type Communication (MTC) is expected to be one dominant application of 5G systems. For this sporadic traffic type (type III), a contention based-access technique is attractive, saving overhead by dropping the strict synchronicity requirement. Sensor-type traffic (type IV), the open weightless standard [3] has shown that, from an energy-efficiency perspective, it is beneficial to stretch the transmissions in time by spreading. 29.08.2013 8
