Abstract
The two main contributions of this deliverable are: 1) A roadmap showing the need for optimisation as experienced by the user over time versus the optimisation offered by the various proposed wireless technologies, including Wi-5. It is largely based on the evolution roadmap of IEEE802.11, as from a survey among six European operators we concluded that by and large they intend to keep following the Wi-Fi Alliance product roadmap with regard to their Wi-Fi deployment plans, given the needs of their customers. 2) The results of our quantitative modelling of the dense apartment use case regarding various spectral efficiency performance indicators, such as throughput per apartment, and average throughput for the complete apartment block. The results show that for this use case the Wi5 solution provides a significant improvement in spectral efficiency compared to the current situation where everybody freely chooses a channel or there is limited automatic channel selection performed by the Access Point (AP)
