This report, titled "RAN Convergence Paper," was published by the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) and the NGMN Alliance in August 2019. It discusses the convergence of Wi-Fi and 5G technologies and their potential use cases.
The report begins with an executive summary, followed by an introduction that provides background information on the topic. The report then goes on to describe two specific use cases for Wi-Fi and 5G convergence: enterprise Wi-Fi convergence with 5G and factories of the future.
In the enterprise Wi-Fi convergence use case, the report describes a scenario in which a company's Wi-Fi network is integrated with its 5G network, allowing for seamless connectivity and improved performance. The report also outlines the requirements for this scenario, including the need for high-speed data transfer and low latency.
The factories of the future use case focuses on the potential of Wi-Fi and 5G convergence in the manufacturing industry. The report describes a scenario in which robots and other equipment in a factory are connected to a Wi-Fi and 5G network, allowing for real-time data transfer and improved efficiency.
Overall, this report provides valuable insights into the potential of Wi-Fi and 5G convergence and the use cases in which it can be applied. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the future of wireless technology.
