BELLEVUE, Wash., Jan. 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Despite the impact of COVID-19, momentum for enhancements to LTE and 5G standards continue with additional releases from the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). 5G Americas<\/u><\/a>,<\/u>\u00a0the wireless industry trade association and voice of 5G and LTE for the Americas, today announced the publication of a white paper 3GPP Releases 16, 17 & Beyond<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0providing an update on the newest 3GPP releases launching the next chapter of 5G standardization and beyond.<\/p>\n

For decades, 3GPP has maintained detailed mechanisms through standards which have enabled billions of worldwide users to access mobile communications. Comprised of seven different international telecommunications standard development organizations, 3GPP coordinates the establishment of technologies, radio access networks, core network and service capabilities, as well as non-radio access and interworking protocols for non-3GPP networks. 5G Americas is a Market Representation Partner (MRP) for 3GPP.<\/p>\n

Chris Pearson, President of 5G Americas said, \u201cOverseen by 3GPP, standardization of cellular communication technical specifications has played a pivotal role in defining and enabling future innovation. Despite all the global challenges during this historic year dealing with COVID-19, 3GPP finalized Release 16 and initiated the work on Release 17.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Release 16, 3GPP has continued enriching the 5G system with new features like ultra-reliable low latency architecture support, 5G LAN services, Time Sensitive Networking for Industrial IoT, Non-Public Networks and much more. With Release 17, many new features will be introduced like extending the operation of NR to spectrum above 52.6 GHz to 71 GHZ, introducing Reduced Capability NR devices that enable additional services beyond conventional high-quality Enhanced Mobile Broadband Services and low-complexity services enabled by LTE-MTC (\u201cMachine Type Communications\u201d) and NB-IoT (\u201cNarrow Band IoT\u201d), as well as Enhanced Dynamic Spectrum Sharing.<\/p>\n

Said Pearson, \u201cAdditional enhancements for 5G NR (\u201cNew Radio\u201d) and physical layer specifications are now set to boost rapid momentum for global adoption.\u201d With recent estimates nearing 285 million 5G global subscriptions by the end of 2020, the rapid adoption of 5G will be further strengthened by the numerous current and future enhancements in Releases 16 and 17 that are \u201cready to unleash a variety of new use cases that will provide a foundation for innovation in our wireless ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n

The white paper<\/a>,<\/a> developed and written by a 5G Americas technical work group, provides an easy to read and understand reference document, and includes these topics:<\/p>\n
