KAIST KAIST was established in 1971 to model a research focused university and to foster elite human resources in science and technology needed by the nation. Currently, KAIST has successfully become a well-respected member of the worldwide science community. In the future, KAIST must become a university in which the world lays its eye upon, by discovering the best leaders, offering the best education, and becoming the envy of the academic world, not only within Korea but all over the world through the university’s first invention. 2. KAIST Institue for IT Convergence (KI ITC) KI-ITC(KAIST Institute for Information Technology Convergence) has been established for remaining competitive of the IT industry in the long term, and developing IT research capacity to improve dramatically our country representative in KAIST IT field that aims to promote research. KIITC, which will lead IT research area, performs core IT technologies development as followings: Future Device, Future Communications & Energy, Bio-medical Care, Knowledge Convergence. KI-ITC organizes research contents and progress system to have a leadership from world competition. 3. KI ITC Communication & Energy Team In the 4th generation wireless communication society, smartphone technology has been changing our life dramatically. Communication & energy team is focusing on IT convergence technology for the 5th generation wireless communication systems to lead the future mobile convergence technology. Future wireless communication will support a thousand times more bandwidth, consume a thousand times less energy and accommodate a thousand more devices. In order to increase the capacity and decrease the energy consumption, our team has researched on small cell, massive antenna, mmWave band, beam based transmission and pattern/polarization transmission. The objective of our team is to lead future mobile convergence technology for the 5-th generation wireless communication systems through system evaluation, system simulation and hardware implementation for communication and energy systems along with industry and academia. (3) Research topics interested in 1. Technology demonstraions - Integrated architectural approach towards heterogeneous accesses (mmWave access, RF/antenna, Relay, Base stations, Terminals) - High-capacity backhaul - Evolved packet core implemented through NFV/SDN core functions 8 www.msip.go.kr 2. Challenging 5G characteristics - Latency reduction - Serve dense user environment (No loss of throughput, No energy consumption increase) - Availability of differnt network functions (mobile core, heterogeneous fixed, mobile access convergence) (4) Research experience & achievement The communication energy team of Information Technology Convergence planned a research task for the 5th-generation mobile communication system in 2010. Based on the joint research with major industries and operators in Korea, we have tried to find a way to provide the capacity of 100 Gbps for the 5th-generation mobile communication system through the achievement of the capacity that is 1,000 times greater than the current level. At present, the research team has been carrying out four tasks for the development of original technologies regarding the 5th-generation mobile communication system. The first is related to development of the non-intervening adaptative beam access technology based on the antenna node grouping(Ministry of Science, IITP, March, 2011 ~ February, 2016). Also, the research team has developed original technologies for the expansion of the capacity through the formation of various beams by utilizing pattern/ polarization antennas in order to achieve the capacity of 10 Gbps in small-sized cells. The second is related to the development of the VCN/BDMA(Virtual Cellular Network/Beam Division Multiple Access) convergence
