Abstract
If the same content is to be delivered to a large number of users at the same time, point-to-multipoint transmissions (broadcast/multicast) could present a more efficient delivery mechanism when compared to point-to-point transmission schemes (unicast). Therefore point-to-multipoint is considered to be an essential feature for many 5G applications. Different 5G applications differ greatly in terms of coverage, bit rate and quality of service they require. This paper considers spectrum allocation options for different use cases in the following 5G vertical sectors: Media & Entertainment, Public Warning, Automotive and Internet of Things. This study analyses the spectrum allocation options for each use case in different spectrum bands and with different spectrum allocation methods, ranging from exclusive licensing to spectrum sharing and unlicensed spectrum. The different analyses map use cases to spectrum bands, spectrum bands to allocation options, use cases to allocation options, and all these are brought together in use case - spectrum band - allocation option - operator mapping.
