5G communications

ITU-T SG13 "Future networks and emerging network technologies" has successfully started the new study period 2022-24 with the information that since the last SG13 meeting the following Recommendations in the field of 5G have been successfully approved and are now published.

• ITU-T Y.3114 "Future networks including IMT-2020: requirements and functional architecture of lightweight core for dedicated networks"
• ITU-T Y.3115 "AI enabled cross-domain network architectural requirements and framework for future networks including IMT-2020"
• ITU-T Y.3116 "Traffic typization IMT-2020 management based on an artificial intelligent approach"
• ITU-T Y.3078 "Information centric networking for IMT-2020 and beyond - Requirements and capabilities of data object segmentation"
• ITU-T Y.3200 "Fixed, mobile and satellite convergence - Requirements for IMT-2020 network and beyond"

ETSI ISG NIN (Non-IP Networking) was formed to support 21st century use cases -- including IoT and URLLC which are not well served by the TCP/IP suite -- by standardizing a platform that is not reliant on it, though IP is one of the protocols the platform supports.

The IETF has a non-working group email list in order to discuss about challenges in 6G Systems

List address: 6gip@ietf.org

Archive: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/6gip/

To subscribe: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/6gip

Purpose: "6gip will discuss the spectrum of challenges of a new/visionary 6G system and will be scoped to work on selected issues regarding protocol design and architecture blueprint, considering service driven demands and the principle of overall context awareness as much as possible." 

An important part of the remit of Global5G.org is to “… ensure broad outreach to vertical stakeholders and help build consensus on priority actions through ‘5G vertical market’ events to facilitate understanding on use case requirements and foster contributions to standardization.” Numerous activities have been undertaken by Global5G.org to further this mission. 

A further goal was to provides an in-depth analysis of the 5G standardisation landscape with a focus on relevance to verticals and a mapping of 5G PPP contributions working in synergy with the PreStandardization WG. Over 295 standards contributions have been gathered from 5G PPP Phase 2 projects that directly or indirectly influence 5G standardisation and architectural developments. The standards contributions come in many formats including technical or specification documents, presentations, white papers, proof of concepts, interoperability tests, source code and so on. Both graphical analyses and full tabulations of contributions are provided.

Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda 2021-27 European Technology Platform NetWorld2020 “Smart Networks in the context of NGI”

"Currently, there is a wide acceptance that 5G networks will have a significant impact in the worldwide economic development and transform all aspects of everyday life. Even though 5G networks offer undeniable improvements over legacy networks, key findings suggest that European research activities in the communication networking sector need to continue at an increased pace. For this reason, we need to address several key challenges in a structured way so as to achievement maximum positive impact"

In a dynamic, fast paced and more increasing mobile digital world the importance of  5G as the "oxygen for digital ecosystems" cannot be emphasised enough. In relation to one horizontal technology alone, 5G is core to the automation achievable by the Internet of Things across a broad range of sectors which will can contribute an estimated $10 trillion economic impact by 2025. The Digital Single Market could contribute €415 billion per year to the European GDP but only if the availability of mobile broadband infrastructure co-evolves with increased economic growth and employment.
