Abstract
Mobile Internet and IoT (Internet of Things) are the two main market drivers for 5G. There will be a massive number of use cases for Mobile Internet and IoT, such as augmented reality, virtual reality, remote computing, eHealth services, automotive driving and so on. All these use cases can be grouped into three usage scenarios, i.e., eMBB (Enhanced mobile broadband), mMTC (Massive machine type communications) and URLLC (Ultra-reliable and low latency communications). Eight key capabilities including peak data rate, latency and connection density, etc., are defined to meet the requirements of usage scenarios. Based on the usage scenarios, several typical deployment scenarios including indoor hotspots, dense urban, urban macro, rural and high-speed scenarios are specified, together with the detailed technical requirements for 5G. Both the deployment scenarios and technical requirements are essential guidance for 5G technical design.
