5G system performance targets
Disclaimer:
• The indicated values are targets for
5G research and standardisation.

• 5G networks will not be able to meet
all these targets at the same time.
What do broadcasters need from 4G and 5G?
In content production broadcasters are looking for
• operational flexibility Most of these
• reduced complexity aspects are yet
• new capabilities to be addressed!
• lower costs
In distribution, critical requirements for broadcasters are
• Large network coverage, high reliability, resilience, and scale
• Suitable business models
• Compliant with specific broadcast regulation
• Sustainable
• Low costs, affordable for both the broadcasters and the end users
• Unconstrained access to the audience and audience data

3GPP standardisation
• Two parallel strands: LTE (4G) and 5G New Radio (NR)
• LTE (4G):
• includes both unicast and eMBMS (Release 14)
• New LTE study item to Further improve LTE eMBMS (March 2019)
• 5G and 5G NR:
• Release 15 (mostly) complete (Q4 2018)
• Scope and timeline of Release 16 agreed (Q1 2020)
• 5G NR (in release 16) only supports unicast (5G NR Broadcast not
planned)When will 5G NR broadcast become available?
1. As of today 5G only includes one-to-one (unicast) mode, no broadcast or
multicast.
2. It is uncertain when 5G broadcast will be standardised.
3. Without a standard, there will be no equipment that support 5G broadcast.
4. Equipment usually become available 1-2 years after the adoption of a standard
if there is a perceived market demand.
5. Broadcasters need networks that cover very large areas (whole region or a
country) and a high penetration of user equipment.
5G NR is several years away, but LTE eMBMS might be a good place to start.
4G and 5G will not be a viable alternative to the
conventional broadcast distribution networks (DTT,
satellite) in the foreseeable future.

• Open to EBU Members and
external participants
• Main tasks:
• Investigate possible and planned 5G
deployment models
• Gain an understanding of network slicing
• Explore the potential of private networks
• Outline possible future scenarios for
distribution networks
• Assist in the education of EBU Members of
the potential benefits of 5G, as well as
possible issues
• Liaise with other relevant EBU working
groups and external stakeholders, in

particular the industry
145G in content production
Motivation
• LTE is already widely used for news gathering
• Content production is complex and expensive
• 5G performance targets are attractive
• 5G could enable
• increased operational flexibility and efficiency
• new use cases that currently are not possible
• cost reduction

• Remote audio and video production
• ‘Remote’ means outside special production facilities (e.g. studios)
• Examples: - News gathering
- Live outdoor events (e.g. concerts, festivals, street manifestations)
- Sports events
• Studio based production
• On-going shift from specialised hardware to IP-based solutions
• 5G would allow replacing wired studio networks with wireless
• Remote editing
• Requires access from any location to the content stored e.g. in the cloud
• Stage performers
• Body-worn microphones, in-ear monitors
• Service links
• Large number of equipment (several hundreds) in a single events
19EBU project group on 5G in Content Production
• Open to EBU Members and
external participants
• Main tasks:
• Define use cases for 5G in content
production and contribution
• Define technical and operational
requirements
• Submit the use cases and requirements
to the 3GPP study on Audio-Visual
Service Production (AV_PROD)
• Disseminate information to EBU Members
