LTE network over CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service)
Las Vegas, Nevada
Nokia, Alphabet's Access Group and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
demonstrated a private LTE network over CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) shared spectrum at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway
built a virtual reality zone inside stock car race cars operating at the Richard Petty Driving Experience,
with 360° video streaming to provide an "in car" experience in real time
achieved speeds in excess of 180 mph
showed how shared spectrum can be used by venues and enterprises
to deploy their own private LTE network to offer new services

Deployment of a private LTE network is becoming a reality
due to the availability of the CBRS spectrum (without the auction costs) and
advances in network technology
that are providing the performance benefits of LTE with an easy deployment model.

The key performance benefits of using LTE include
consistent high data rates to stream 360° video for immersive experiences,
superior mobility at extreme race car speeds,
exceptional outdoor coverage, and
capacity that can be customized to meet the needs of the particular service.

360° video streaming came from within the high-speed vehicles.

Thanks to the availability of CBRS shared spectrum,
an enterprise, campus, venue or other group can deploy their own private LTE network.

The shared spectrum used in the Las Vegas Motor Speedway demo
is the new CBRS spectrum released in the U.S. by the Federal Communications Commission.
This spectrum allows for broad innovation in wireless business models.

Nokia, Alphabet's Access Group and Qualcomm Technologies are founding members of the CBRS Alliance,
which is promoting LTE-based solutions in the CBRS spectrum.
The three companies are committed to driving technology forward
to allow for ubiquitous deployment of LTE networks within the CBRS band.

used CBRS base stations to cover the complete track and spectator area.
CBRS spectrum for the base stations was provisioned by the Access SAS (Spectrum Access System), and
the 360° virtual reality video was streamed in real time using YouTube Live Events.
This was the first SAS demonstration in support of a live event.

The network was customized* to provide:
high uplink data rate on the race track and
high downlink data rate in the spectator area;
very low latency between car and network; and
seamless mobility.
Such a set up allows the continuous streaming of real time 4K 360° virtual reality video
between the spectators and the cars - in this demonstration driving in excess of 180 mph.
The in-car connectivity for the trial was enabled by a Qualcomm® Snapdragon(TM) LTE modem.

Chris Stark, head of strategy and business development for North America, Nokia:
showing how the CBRS band can enable new business ideas using LTE,
but also how such futuristic applications like this are possible
want this trial to act as a catalyst for carriers and enterprises
to start thinking about leveraging this band for new applications
Beyond the high speeds and amazing views this demo provides,
the real opportunity is in the life-changing applications
that will benefit from the 3.5GHz U.S. CBRS spectrum and transform users' experience."

Neville Meijers, vice president, business development, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and chairman of the CBRS Alliance:
immersive 360° view demonstrated in this trial
business opportunities for enterprises

Preston Marshall, director, Alphabet's Access Group:
co-operation between the U.S. government and industry
has made it possible to create a whole new class of wireless systems,
fusing the flexibility and accessibility of licensed spectrum
with the high performance and effectiveness of carrier grade technologies.
The FCC has moved rapidly to establish the CBRS band;
the DoD has collaborated with industry to assure non-interference to critical Navy radars, and
over 60 companies have jointly developed the standards to implement this protection.
Private networks are but one example.
We see great potential for private and public shared networks
which is why we have committed great effort to developing our Spectrum Access System.

Tampere Smart City
Tampere revealed its smart city aspirations.
The industrial city was once the centre of Nokia’s R&D activities,
employing over 4,500 people.
The firm has moved much of its R&D elsewhere.
City suffers from unemployment of around 20 per cent.
The small town of Nokia (which gave the firm its name) is just 15 minutes along the road.

Tampere authorities have identified a smart city strategy as being of the utmost importance
for the city’s regeneration and development in the coming decades.
Finland’s second biggest city is investing between €6bn and €10bn by 2030
in order to build “an internationally attractive” smart city.
It has already identified several projects.
It is opening up its data for anyone to use, including traffic data,
location data, tourism information, as well as city budget and procurement information.

The “Smart Tampere” economic policy is to make sure the investments are used to build a smarter city and to secure economic growth.
It is open to being a testing ground for new operational models and solutions, and
has pledged to become more community driven, experimental and sustainable.

The self-proclaimed “birthplace of industrial Internet and smartphone” already has an establish inward investment programme
for high-tech company ies, and recently saw Huawei open an R&D centre in the city.

Teppo Rantanen is Executive Director of economic policy, competitiveness and innovation.

A new Central Deck and Arena is being built on top of existing railway tracks in the heart of the city,
to house a multi-purpose arena, offices and residential accommodation.
Hiedanranta is an old pulp factory area on the shore of Lake Näsijärvi
that is optimistically being called by locals the “Dubai of Finland”.

And a new light railway will offer a testing ground for smart mobility and infrastructure solutions.
The seven “smarts” the city is targeting in its first phase are health, education, industry,
buildings, infrastructure, mobility and governance.

At least Tampere has the support and belief of its authorities, which is half the battle.

Tampere 5G

Network-assisted device-to-device (D2D) communication seen an emerging fifth-generation networking concept
aimed at reducing the congestion on current cellular networks, caused by rapidly growing cellular traffic.

The current wireless technology (4G) seen insufficient to meet the anticipated growth in traffic demand,
made worse by the rapid proliferation in types and numbers of wireless devices.

Contemporary wireless networks regarded unable to deliver the desired ubiquitous connectivity experience.
They lack uniformity in the data rates, suffer from excessive time delays and sometimes
even service outages due to poor coverage and severe interference conditions
according to senior research scientist Sergey Andreev from Tampere University of Technology.

Intel Finland’s research and development unit in Tampere was set up in 2011.
Located just a couple of minutes’ walking distance from TUT,
it hires local mobile technology and engineering talent and
currently has 250 employees.
Intel Finland’s Tampere unit develops both software and hardware solutions for mobile platforms.

Reasons why Intel decided to come to Tampere an ample supply of highly qualified workforce
and the proximity of local universities that means Intel can conduct research collaboration and get trainees and employees.
Trainees can combine studying with working, and some are pursuing Ph.D. studies at TUT
according to Veli-Pekka Vatula, site manager of Intel Finland.

Cellular traffic offloading onto network-assisted D2D connections is a new technology that Intel,
Intel Finland’s research and development unit in Tampere, and
researchers at the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering of TUT
have been researching for the past several years.

D2D communication is believed to be one of the fifth-generation (5G) networking technologies
with the potential to both increase network capacity and improve user experience.

The TUT team has been helping Intel across the entire spectrum of their technology work:
mathematical analysis, extensive system-level evaluations, and technology prototypes.

They have also assisted in preparing standards contributions for the relevant technology solutions.
Intel, in turn, is providing TUT with focused technical guidance, enriching the technical knowledge and
understanding of TUT team members through collaborative work and weekly discussions.

Developing technologies for more efficient future cellular systems

TUT’s collaboration with Intel Labs US, based in Santa Clara, California, began in 2012 and
then grew shortly afterwards under the framework of the DIGILE research program on the Internet of Things.

TUT has been working very closely with Professor Yevgeni Koucheryavy and
senior research scientist Sergey Andreev of TUT on several technologies
that will be important in future cellular systems and standards.
Shilpa Talwar is the principal scientist at the Wireless Communications Group of Intel Labs, US.

Some of the technologies they collaborate on include WiFi-based D2D communications and multi-radio small cells.
Claimed to be in the process of expanding research collaboration with TUT to more 5G topics.

They develop and deliver from idea conception to System Level Simulator (SLS) development and prototyping.
