METIS 5G Concept
A user-centric 5G system concept that efficiently
integrates:
the support of MMC and URC,
the support of scalable data rates including very high data
rates,
the support of scalable data rates including very low latencies,

for service provision to both consumers and

devices/machines.
The system that fulfils these requirements be flexible to
provide different services at different times.
The system architecture must provide native support for
extreme Mobile Broadband (MBB) communication, MMC,
URC, D2D, MN, and UDN.

Description: Controlled by the

network, direct D2D communication

allows direct communication between
mobile devices and exchange data
packets between devices locally

Objective: Integrate direct D2D

End user benefits: Reduced

power consumption; Increased

throughput; Discovery of
geographically close activities;
Operator benefits: Increased
spectrum efficiency; Extended
coverage; Growing number of
devices to be connected in the
future; Internet of Things
