What's expected from 3GPP Release 16 and Release 17?

SIMNOVUS What's Rel 17 Expected From ? Rel 16 and Rel 16 Rel 17 5G NR-U: 5G NR-U is the first-ever global standard that supports both standalone and license-assisted usage of 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands. Non-Public Network (NPN): NPN uses enhanced data security and reduces latency by utilizing dedicated resources that are managed independently. Time Sensitive Networks (TSN): The integration will facilitate the time-deterministic delivery of data packages. Cellular-Vehicle-To-Everything: The latest release further supports efficient and reliable multicast communication to drive connected car adoption. 5G-Based Positioning: The 3GPP Release 16 sets the baseline for a 5G-based positioning architecture. Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) Enhancements: Rel. 16 enhances the efficiency and performance of MIMO by optimizing the ecosystem. MU-MIMO now supports multiple transmission and reception points. Enhanced Ultra-Reliable, Low-Latency Communication (EURLLC): Rel. 16 enhances the URLLC foundation set by Rel. 15 to increase link reliability up to 99.9999%. The EURLLC will have several new use cases including end-to-end factory automation. Advanced Power Saving Features: Rel. 16 extends the battery life of various battery-powered devices by introducing several new features and mechanisms. Integrated Access And Backhaul (IAB): Release 16 eliminates the need to invest in additional resources by introducing this new feature. LTE Advanced Pro Technologies: These technologies will enable massive 5G and NB-loT using 5G NR services. connectivity through in-band deployment of eMTC Service Based Architecture (ESBA) Enhancements: Rel. 16 extends ESBA by introducing a new feature - Service Communication Proxy. The feature will facilitate indirect communication and discovery delegation driven by 5GC. Location Services (LCs) Enhancements: Release 16 enhances the LCS by adding a slew of new features - NEF enabled exposure of location, control plane positioning for non-3GPP accesses, temporary blocking of positioning consent, and location privacy subscription. www.simnovus.com Check our UE Simulator & NW Emulator for 5G & 4G (@ [email protected] +91 1128085036
