The IEEE 5G and Beyond Technology Roadmap White Paper outlines the current telecommunications value chain that will need to adapt to changes and opportunities that the introduction of 5G and beyond technologies will bring. It describes key technology trends that will impact design drivers and challenges for technologies to simultaneously provide wireless communication, massive connectivity, the tactile internet, quality of service and network slicing. Future applications are listed that drive 5G and beyond requirements to provide societal benefits for education, manufacturing, healthcare, smart grid, entertainment, autonomous cars, and smart cities. And the white paper highlights technology enablers that need to be explored in the creation of the roadmap.

Edge is a vital aspect of 5G as the weight of bandwidth demand continues to increase. By 2025, the average amount of data traffic that will go through a North American smartphone is predicted to be 25 GB per month, according to the Ericsson Mobility Report, a tenfold jurnp from 2016's average traffic amount. Driving this jump is an increased reliance on streaming, advanced video graphics, and a rise in bandwidth-heavy applications. This means the bandwidth demand on SG will be, by today’s standards, astronomical.

The third wave of the Internet is marked by substantial growth of more mobile, powerful, intelligent, and automated devices on the emerging edge network. In this environment, IT and OT will be converged and contribute to the increasing volume of data creation. This growth will outpace the growth of the core infrastructure capacity and create congestion points in the end-to-end application delivery chain, causing massive latency. Delay will bring near fatal blows to system stability and the application experience. Security challenges will also increase significantly. These conditions require a new approach—one centered around holistic application distribution and based on a different set of technology design principles. This is the essence of the Edge 2.0 era.

The Heavy Reading 2020 5G Network & Service Strategies Operator Survey is designed to provide insight into how operators will scale 5G networks and identify the service strategies operators believe will drive investment and customer value. Developed in association with the report sponsors, the survey questionnaire was fielded to respondents in the Light Reading service provider database in January 2020. It was open only to employees of communications service providers (CSPs).
