Recent Activities of 5G Experimental Trials on Massive MIMO Technologies and 5G System Trials Toward New Services Creation

In order to cope with recent growth of mobile data traffic and emerging various services, world-wide system trials for the fifthgeneration (5G) mobile communication system that dramatically extends capability of the fourth-generation mobile communication system are being performed to launch its commercial service in 2020. In addition, research and development of new radio access technologies for 5G evolution and beyond 5G systems are beginning to be made all over the world. This paper introduces our recent activities on 5G transmission experiments that aim to validate Massive MIMO technologies using higher frequency bands such as SHF/EHF bands, that is, 5G experimental trials. Recent results of 5G system trials to create new services and applications in 5G era in cooperation with partners in vertical industries are also introduced. key words: fifth generation mobile communication system, radio access technology, higher frequency band, experimental trial, system trial
