Air interface design for 5G: a METIS-II perspective
29 June 2016
This paper describes the approach adopted by EU H2020 / 5G-PPP project "METIS-II" for a harmonized 5G air interface (AI) design, based on a suitability assessment framework for 5G AI candidates. The assessment focuses on "harmonization KPIs" and how to measure them (qualitatively / quantitatively). The paper proposes that evaluation of 5G AI candidates should, in addition to performance, include the "extent of harmonization", which is defined in this paper.
