1 Breaking technology chain
Are you ready to cut the technology chain?
It has been 23 years since the introduction of 3G sparked a technology revolution by enabling the MBB. 3G is still in use, and we as Ericsson need to properly act on the further shape and existence of WCDMA networks. The challenge is the diversity of use cases. While some customers want to keep 3G and secure maintenance for EoS HW, others want to sunset legacy technologies as soon as possible. The presentation will show Ericsson's response to these challenges.
2Breaking the energy curve in RAN
description in preparation
3 5G Development Worldwide
Trends and insights from 5G networks globally. Mid-band population coverage, Stand Alone deployments and successful 5G use-cases
4NR Booster Carrier Sleep
Ericsson Booster Carrier Sleep allows carriers to be switched on and off dynamically based on the traffic demand. This software creates more opportunities for cell sleep and radio deep sleep to be activated autonomously, being a key enabler for energy efficiency.
5 Ericsson Interference Sensing
Ericsson Interference Sensing is a unique technology that enables improved network performance and capacity for mid-band TDD M-MIMO deployments by reduction of inter-cell interference. By estimating what would be the caused interference of a potential downlink transmission, the transmission pattern can be proactively adapted to avoid creating unnecessary interference to neighboring cells without impacting the performance of the transmitting cell. In the end, the uniqueness comes from the perfect combination of our superior Massive MIMO architecture, our sophisticated software algorithms based on the latest state-of-art beamforming, and our leverage of the Ericsson Silicon high-processing capabilities.
6 RedCap
5G is all about being faster and more reliable. What if we don't need this? What if our goal is a long battery life and small amount of data transfer? Are we then doomed to stick to LTE? NO! 3GPP Release 17 has introduced RedCap UEs! Reduced Capability devices are more energy efficient and less costly to produce. Wearables, smart devices, wireless sensors and CCTV are growing part of the "connected" environment. RedCap UEs are also a chance to join 5G community by less developed regions where price is still a gamechanger. Visit us if you want to learn more about possible use-cases and profits from serving RedCap UEs in your network!
7 Quad carrier 2T/2R microwave radio for C-band backhauling
5G mid-band mobile systems require powerful transport nodes. Microwave transport remains the dominant medium for connecting base stations on the last mile. Building an efficient microwave backhaul network with end-to-end performance in mind, requires high node capacity, advanced packet functionality and the lowest possible cost of ownership. Nowadays energy efficiency that reduces carbon footprint gains importance in the overall assessment of network sustainability. This session will look into how quad-carrier dual-transceiver microwave radio delivers high-capacity transport in a compact and energy-efficient manner.
8 NR Advanced Multi-Layer Coordination
Advanced Multi-Layer Coordination introduces downlink cell load as an input when optimizing the allocated spectrum (Primary Cell and possible SCells) for a given UE. It builds on top of the existing NR Traffic Steering feature including Multi-Layer Coordination and Dynamic Cell Set Change. The objective for the mentioned legacy traffic steering functions is to configure each UE with the cell set that maximizes the possible downlink throughput. With Advanced Multi-Layer Coordination load will be added as a parameter that is considered when maximizing the possible downlink throughput.
To enable use of load in traffic steering, load information must be shared between gNBs in the network. With Advanced Multi-Layer Coordination activated, the gNB will setup subscriptions over Xn towards neighbor gNBs to receive load information for cells that can be considered during traffic steering. Load information will be exchanged between gNBs using 3GPP procedures: Resource Status Reporting Initiation and Resource Status Reporting.
In parallel with the load sharing over Xn the load information for internal cells will be sent via F1 interface from DU to CU using 3GPP procedures: Resource Status Reporting Initiation and Resource Status Reporting.
9 5G Mission Critical Networks
During recent years Mission Critical services became widely used over public telephony networks thanks to 4G achievements. Now the time has to be for the 5G to handle five-nines requirements and be ready for Mission Critical traffic. In this demo, you will learn Ericsson vision how to do it and what is already there!
10 Ericsson Production at Flex Factory in Tczew
Flex is the manufacturing partner of choice that helps a diverse customer base design and build products that improve the world.
Through the collective strength of a global workforce across 30 countries and responsible, sustainable operations, Flex delivers technology innovation, supply chain, and manufacturing solutions to various industries and end markets.
Since 2000, the campus in Tczew has been helping its customers design and build products that make life easier.
