CT progress on Rel-16 Stage 3
January 15, 2020
In our latest video – filmed at the last Plenary meetings in Spain, December 12, 2019 - Lionel Morand speaks to Guy Daniels about the current priorities for TSG CT.
The interview covers the status of Release 16, with an explanation of what Stage 3 CT work is all about. It ends with a call to action for new experts – from vertical industries - to contribute further towards getting the protocol work for 5G features done.

Lifetime Achievement Award for RAN expert
December 11, 2019
TSG RAN#86, Sitges - Spain
At the end of the days work, in the RAN room yesterday, the 3GPP Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Dr. Wan Lei, of Huawei Technologies, in recognition of fifteen years of highly productive work within and on behalf of the project.
Wan Lei has led the Huawei standardization efforts on 4G and 5G technologies since 2008, having begun work in RAN - as principle engineer in Ericsson Research, in 2001.
She is a renowned expert in simulation methodology & radio evaluation techniques, and 3D antenna and channel modeling. Wan Lei was also active in the 3GPP self-evaluation process for our LTE-Advanced technology submission as the ITU IMT-Advanced system. More recently, she has ensured a high degree of expert engagement in the evaluation work on 3GPP NR – by her team – to help prepare our submission for the ITU IMT-2020 system – 5G.
5G in Release 17 – strong radio evolution
December 14, 2019
By Balazs Bertenyi, 3GPP RAN Chair, Nokia
3GPP RAN#86 held 9-12 December made substantial decisions regarding the further technology evolution of 5G NR radio. Nowhere is it more apparent, than in 3GPP RAN, that the 5G ecosystem is building out to be substantially more versatile than LTE.
5G NR radio evolution is carried out with a drive from a multitude of key stakeholders from the traditional commercial cellular industry, a wide variety of industry verticals and the non-terrestrial access ecosystem. The Release-17 work program is a testament that 3GPP is committed to serving all of these key stakeholders.
3GPP SA6 initiatives to enable new vertical applications
September 30, 2019
A new webinar “3GPP SA6 initiatives to enable new vertical applications” is now available on replay – free of charge and without any annoying registrations!
During this 30 minute presentaion, Suresh Chitturi, the SA6 Working Group Chair, introduces the group’s work to provide application layer functional elements and interfaces that will serve the needs of new (to 3GPP) industry sectors - or verticals - by providing a middleware layer, as a common service platform for their 5G implementations.
