The workshop addressed priorities for the next work programme regarding:
- the implementation of the 5G PPP
- the network technologies not covered by the 5G PPP, i.e. beyond roadmap based research
- and the Internet of Things.
The European Commission (EC) provided a consolidated view of the online consultation contributions received during April-June 2014. This was complemented by experts' invited presentations, views from the NetWorld2020 European Technology Platform and the network technologies/IoT projects' clusters.
The two-day workshop was organised in plenary and break-out parallel sessions on the following six themes:
- Radio (architecture, technologies, mm-waves)
- Network management (security, big data for network management, energy efficiency)
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- Optical technologies (core, access)
- Experiments, test beds and demonstrations (5G focus)
- SDN/NFV/Internet architectures
Each of the strands was kicked off with a set of invited presentations, followed by participants interventions, the EC online consultation results overview, collective discussions and drafting of a joint position paper summarising received contributions and identifying research priorities. Contributions were also asked to highlight those issues that should be implemented as research actions and under an innovation umbrella.
