One of the strongest driving forces for wireless technology evolution today is 5G (5th Generation), also known**as IMT-2020 (International Mobile Telecommunications), which promises to encompass several radio interface**technologies (RITs) or sets thereof (SRITs), including 3GPP and ETSI/DECT among others. 5G promises to**deliver by 2020 ultra-high-speed wireless data transmission services at much lower costs and latencies while**providing much higher rates, spectrum efficiencies, and coverage. In order to ensure the most cost- and**spectrum-efficient deployments of these new-generation wireless technologies in a few years from now, their**performance has to be reliably assessed by simulations in the more realistic way in order to:**1) identify areas where enhancements can be made;**2) introduce these enhancements and evaluate them;**3) support equipment manufacturers and operators in their standardization effort to integrate these**enhancements if deemed valuable;**4) compare the two selected 5G technologies (cf. above) due for deployment on a fair basis using a common**simulation platform; and**5) assess the impact of their co-existence and the migration from one technology to another on operators.**It is precisely from this perspective that our partner, Rogers Communications Canada Inc., has mandated our**team, in the framework of this proposal, to develop a novel common simulation platform design for the**evaluation and development of these new RITs or SRITs. This design, unavailable so far internally, will allow**our partner acquire its own simulator to achieve the key critical goals listed above in a timely manner

当今无线技术发展的最强大驱动力之一是5G（第五代），也称为IMT-2020（国际移动通信），它承诺涵盖多种无线电接口技术（rit）或其集合（srit），包括3GPP和ETSI/DECT等。5G承诺到2020年以更低的成本和延迟提供超高速无线数据传输服务，同时提供更高的速率、频谱效率和覆盖范围。为了确保这些新一代无线技术在未来几年内以最具成本效益和频谱效率的方式部署，必须以更现实的方式通过模拟可靠地评估其性能，以便：**1)确定可以进行增强的领域；**2)引入这些增强功能并进行评估；**3)如果认为有价值，支持设备制造商和运营商在标准化工作中整合这些增强功能；**4)使用通用的仿真平台，在公平的基础上比较两种选定的5G技术（参见上文）；**5)评估它们的共存和从一种技术到另一种技术的迁移对运营商的影响。正是从这个角度来看，我们的合作伙伴，罗杰斯通信加拿大公司，已经授权我们的**团队，在这个提案的框架内，开发一个新的通用仿真平台设计，用于评估和开发这些新的rit或srit。这种设计，到目前为止无法在内部获得，将允许**我们的合作伙伴获得自己的模拟器，以及时实现上述关键目标
