Section: 7.1 High data rates and traffic densities
Content: Several scenarios require the support of very high data rates or traffic densities of the 5G system. The scenarios address different service areas: urban and rural areas, office and home, and special deployments (e.g. massive gatherings, broadcast, residential, and high-speed vehicles). The scenarios and their performance requirements can be found in table 7.1-1. - Urban macro – The general wide-area scenario in urban area - Rural macro – The general wide-area scenario in rural area - Indoor hotspot – The scenario for offices and homes, and residential deployments. - Broadband access in a crowd – The scenario for very dense crowds, for example, at stadiums or concerts. In addition to a very high connection density the users want to share what they see and hear, putting a higher requirement on the uplink than the downlink. - Dense urban – The scenario for pedestrian users, and users in urban vehicles, for example, in offices, city centres, shopping centres, and residential areas. The users in vehicles can be connected either directly or via an onboard base station to the network. - Broadcast-like services – The scenario for stationary users, pedestrian users, and users in vehicles, for example, in offices, city centres, shopping centres, residential areas, rural areas and in high speed trains. The passengers in vehicles can be connected either directly or via an onboard base station to the network. - High-speed train – The scenario for users in trains. The users can be connected either directly or via an onboard base station to the network. - High-speed vehicle – The scenario for users in road vehicles. The users can be connected either directly or via an onboard base station to the network. - Airplanes connectivity – The scenario for users in airplanes. The users can be connected either directly or via an onboard base station to the network. Table 7.1-1 Performance requirements for high data rate and traffic density scenarios.
