Air interface design for 5G: a METIS-II perspective
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the approach adopted by EU H2020 / 5G-PPP project “METIS-II” for a harmonized 5G air interface (AI) design, based on a suitability assessment framework for 5G AI candidates. The assessment focuses on “harmonization KPIs” and how to measure them (qualitatively / quantitatively). The paper proposes that evaluation of 5G AI candidates should, in addition to performance, include the “extent of harmonization”, which is defined in this paper. Keywords—5G air interface, User Plane design, RAN architecture, multi-connectivity, 3GPP, METIS-II, 5G-PPP
