During Technical Specification Group RAN’s meeting RAN#106, in Madrid on December 12th , an important 6G study item was approved. The study represents a significant milestone in 3GPP’s interactions with ITU on 6G technical performance requirements (TPRs) as future, deployment scenarios, requirements and potential directions of 6G radio access technologies are further identified and investigated in 3GPP.
The 3GPP study item (Details in RP-243327) aims to investigate a candidate set of items for minimum TPRs based on the Recommendation ITU-R M.2160 and, where applicable, the associated target values and key assumptions for the identified minimum TPRs.
The outcome is expected to be shared by Liaison Statement with ITU-R WP5D and used as a baseline for the subsequent 6G study in RAN.
Following the close of the RAN#106 meeting, Wanshi Chen – TSG RAN Chair said “The approval of the 6G Study item this week is a great achievement. It is co-signed and supported by over fifty companies from diverse countries and regions, underscoring the shared dedication of 3GPP and the broader telecommunications sector to forge a global interoperable 6G standard.”
