An alternative 5G Vision
Professor of Engineering and The Arts in Trinity College
University of Dublin, Ireland
COM1 Level 2

Abstract:
This talk will introduce the CONNECT centre in Ireland and present our vision for 5G communication systems. This vision revolves around increasing commodification of all network resources (spectrum, base stations, sensors, backhaul, processing power, storage etc.), the desire to not own everything, the dominance of the service-driven approach, and the emergence of new forms of non-monetary currencies. Overall open communication paradigms, and opportunities for extreme sharing will be promoted. These ideas will be illustrated with results from different CONNECT research projects. The talk will challenge some of the core ideas and concepts emerging in Europe.
