In this talk we will discuss the development of the future 5G systems. We will start from a vision of the future communication scenarios that will push the systems beyond the limits of currently available technologies. Based on these scenarios, we will derive the corresponding technical requirements and discuss how a single set of requirements will not fit all the needs. Then, we will discuss emerging evolutionary and disruptive technologies, and the role of these technologies in matching the different set of requirements. Finally, we will discuss how current trends call for a redefinition on the traditional “cell-centric” architecture and touch some of related research directions.
