Examine the challenges of 4G in the light of impending and crucial future communication needs, and review the lessons learned from an implementation and system operation perspective with an eye towards the next generation – 5G. You'll investigate key changes and additions to 5G in terms of use cases. You'll also learn about the applications for and explorations of the technology.
Among all of the technological disruptions, two stand out in particular – mmWave and spectrum sharing technologies. Rolling Out 5G features detailed coverage of these two critical topics, and for the first time among 5G learning resources presents a holistic perspective on key ingredients for mobile communication in a 5G world.
The authors represent highly experienced experts with valuable know-how in the field of wireless communications related research projects defining future technological trends. This unique group of talents will be able to consider the 5G technology evolution fromall angles mentioned: long-term research, standardization and regulation, product design and marketization. This approach allows this much-needed book to capture the views of all key decision making stake-holders involved in the 5G definition process, and to serve readers in their roles connected with wireless communication's next generation of products and services.

Author Biography:
Dr. Biljana Badic works at Intel in Munich, Germany with the focus on development, architecture evolution and performance optimization of Intel cellular modems. She has been also actively involved in Intel research activities on 4G and 5G systems. Biljana joined Intel in 2010. Prior to joining Intel in 2010, Biljana was a Senior Reseacher at School of Engineering, Swansea University, UK where she worked on design of energy efficient radio access architecture for WWAN and from 2002 to 2006 Biljana was employed as Research and Teaching Assistant at the Institute for Communications and Radio-Frequency Engineering, Vienna University of Technology, Austria where she worked on research of multiple systems and space-time codes. Biljaan received her Dipl.-Ing. Degree in electrical engineering and information technology from the Graz University of Technology, Austria in 1996 and Dr. –Tech. degree from the Vienna University of Technology, Austria. She has published over 50 scientific articles and filed over 20 4G patents.
Dr. Christian Drewes works at Intel in Munich, Germany, on system architecture and innovation across the cellular product portfolio. A special focus is on end-user oriented aspects like data throughput and power consumption. Within those activities, Christian and his team contribute to cellular platform productization, grounding knowledge with field experience, and guiding future platform architectures including future 5G cellular platforms. In addition, Christian is teaching as a guest lecturer at the Technische Universität München. Christian grew up in the Munich area and received Dipl.-Ing. and Dr.-Ing. degrees in electrical engineering and information technology from the Technische Universität München, Germany. He started his industry career at Infineon Technologies in 2000, and joined Intel with the acquisition of Infineon’s Wireless Group in 2011.
Dr. Ingolf Karls works at Intel Deutschland GmbH in the Communication and Devices Group. He got his Master and PhD degree at Technical University Chemnitz. After that he contributed to 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation of mobile communication systems at Siemens AG, Infineon Technologies AG and Intel. He fostered partnerships between wireless ecosystem stakeholders as active member of national and international regulation and standardization bodies like 3GPP, BITKOM, DLNA, ETSI, IEEE, ITU and OMA. He consulted Germany’s BMBF, BMWi and European Commission regarding wireless communication technologies. He works currently on 5th generation mobile communication millimeter wave topics like spectrum regulation, channel models, access and front and backhaul techniques as part of next generation network and is program manager for 3GPP standardisation at Intel.
Dr. Markus Mueck oversees Intel’s technology development, standardization and partnerships in the field of spectrum sharing. In this capacity, he has contributed to standardization and regulatory efforts on various topics including spectrum sharing within numerous industry standards bodies, including ETSI, 3GPP, IEEE, the Wireless Innovation Forum and CEPT. Dr. Mueck is an adjunct professor of engineering at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia, he acts as ETSI Board Member supported by INTEL and as general Chairman of ETSI RRS Technical Body (Software Radio and Cognitive Radio Standardization). He has earned engineering degrees from the University of Stuttgart, Germany and the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications (ENST) in Paris, France, as well as a doctorate degree of ENST in Communications. From 1999 to 2008, Dr. Mueck was Senior Staff member and Technical Manager at Motorola Labs, Paris, France. In this role, he contributed actively to various standardization bodies, namely Digital Radio Mondiale, IEEE 802.11n, etc. and lead the creation of the novel standardization group IEEE P1900.4 in the area of Cognitive Radio and Software Defined Radio (SDR). He also contributed to numerous European Research projects, namely as Technical Manager of IST-E2R II (19 MEuros budget) and as overall technical leader for the definition of IST-E3 (20 MEuros budget).
