EU-Japan Joint Call

EUJ1 – 2016: 5G – Next Generation Communication Networks

Japan-EU cooperation• A good example of a fruitful and effective

cooperation in ICT research and innovation

• 2 coordinated calls since 2012 • The joint evaluation is a sign of our common

understanding of the issues being addressed and the level of mutual trust

• 3rd coordinated calls now as part of work-programme 2016-17 in ICT and also Active and Healthy Ageing

EU-Japan – ICT R&I1st Coordinated Call. Projects

Projects started on June 1, 2013, positive results reported so far.

EU-Japan - Net Future, 2nd Coordinated Call. (projects started on October 1, 2014, first review in Nov. 2015)

Joint Declaration on ICT and 5G signed in May 2015, between European Commission and Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication (MIC) of Japan.

Declarations bears on cooperation intentions on:

– To strive to reach a global consensus

– To jointly cooperate to facilitate the emergence of global standards

– To facilitate the identification of globally harmonised radio frequency bands

– To join forces to support and facilitate the development of new applications and ecosystems

– To implement joint research actions in the field of 5G

MoU also signed between the 5G Infrastructure Association (5G PPP) and The Fifth Generation Mobile Communications Promotion Forum (5G MF) on 25 March 2015.

5G challenges

Scope (3 M€, RIA):

• 5G technologies and systems to realize high-performance heterogeneous networks which have dynamic resource allocation capabilities, superior spectral efficiency performances and functions of supporting a very wide range of application requirements.

• 5G network to control heavy dynamicity, which change traffic volume and characteristic as well as traffic growth, with agile and flexible control or management scheme such as SDN/NFV.

EUJ1 – 20165G – Next Generation Communication Networks

Expected Impact:

1. Optimised exploitation of access resources through interoperability across arange of technologies for multiple applications in both dense and ruralenvironments.

2. Development and demonstration of key enabling technologies for the futuregenerations of integrated/heterogeneous access network systems.

3. Joint identification of standardization requirements and contribution tostandardization bodies and fora, supporting global views on open standardsand interoperability, with particular focus on 3GPP and WRC'19developments. It includes a significant contribution to the testing andevaluation methodologies of 5G access technologies under 3GPP.

4. New basic technologies for network management. Implementationacceleration through agile relocation and flexible reconnection of virtualnetwork functions (VFN) with real-time monitoring as proof of concepts.

EUJ1 – 20165G – Next Generation Communication Networks

Coordinated Call Conditions(*)Submission and evaluation follow the principles of Horizon 2020 calls with certain specific conditions:

Common PartB (technical annex) PMs for each partner/per task is required

EU and JP proposals submitted to the respective coordinated calls European consortium signs contract with the EC Japanese consortium signs contract with the Japanese funding agencies MIC or NICT

Each proposal should include a coordination agreement Signed before starting the project Does not replace the Consortium Agreement (which is still required from all EU projects)

EU-JP research plan: balanced effort, genuine cooperation Duration: 3 years max. Max. funding (EU): 3M€ per RIA project (in EUJ1)
