On 12th December a 6G RAN level study item supported by 56 co-signed companies was approved, achieving a significant milestone of 6G standard. This study is aimed at interacting with ITU on 6G technical performance requirements. In the future, deployment scenarios, requirements and potential directions of 6G radio access technologies will be further identified and investigated in 3GPP.
This initiative is being spearheaded by industry leaders from a wide range of countries and regions, underscoring the dedication of 3GPP and the broader telecommunications sector to create a global interoperable 6G standard. It is anticipated that 6G will serve as a critical enabler of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
“China Mobile has always maintained a strong sense of social responsibility to actively involve in the research of 6G technology, the development of standards, and the promotion of industry advancements. We believe that 6G standardisation should progress steadily and solidly, driven by real requirements from global industry, and should not be aggressive and hasty,” said Tongqing Gao, CTO of China Mobile and Co-Chairman of Global TD-LTE initiative. “China Mobile eagerly anticipates cooperating with industrial partners to foster joint innovation, expedite the integration of information services across various sectors, and establish a robust communication network foundation.”
“Developing 6G global standard is an important opportunity to provide new values such as sustainability, higher efficiency, network for AI, connectivity everywhere, and new/improved customer experiences. These values have great potential to change our life and industries with IOWN (Innovative Optical and Wireless Network) for adapting to the environment in global. NTT DOCOMO is willing to lead this activity in 3GPP together with other great contributors in diverse regions, as there are global common demands and issues 6G should address,” added Takaaki Sato, Senior Executive President and CTO of NTT DOCOMO.
