5G from Taipei to Guildford

3GPP Leaders and staff have visited two major research initiatives in the past week, to discuss standards and to encourage the efficient alignment of 5G research output with the 3GPP work plan.

On November 24, ITRI of Taiwan hosted a summit on 3GPP - attracting over 150 attendees - followed this week by a 3GPP visit to the 5GIC, the University of Surrey centre for next-generation wireless technology.

Both visits featured presentations as well as a lively exchange of views on how to get innovation from the 5G projects in to 3GPP specifications.

Although it is likely that a lot of work will come in via companies, there is a real prospect that experts from ITRI and the 5GIC - as well as other 5G incubators - will bring direct contributions as 3GPP studies the use cases and requirements for 5G.

Key presentations from Taiwan:

About ITRI and TAICS

ITRI President Liu Jonq-Min has stated that "Taiwan should participate in the development of 5G mobile communications standards early on so that these norms can be incorporated into the R&D results... In the future, the Institute will put its continuous effort in cooperation with Taiwan’s industry, government, and the research organizations, with the goal of establishing international standards to enhance Taiwan’s competency in the coming 5G era." ...more

ITRI is a partner in https://5g-ppp.eu/metis-ii/ and works in collaboration with the 5G-PPP.

TAICS is the Taiwan Association of Information and Communication Standards ...more
