Structure of the 3GPP NR (5G) Specification

by · Published · Updated

3GPP starts its  work on 5G with its first meetings  in the US next month. The work item approved by RAN plenary (RP-170847) primarily targets eMBB and URLLC scenario and services requirement. Frequency ranges up to 52.6 GHz are considered for the 5G, while OTA RF requirements will be defined for below 6 GHz and above 24 GHz.  Initially  the Dual Connectivity solution with LTE as the master and NR as salve prioritize , later on NR can be the master or an NR gNB serves as a standalone base station.

Below  the list of future 5G specifications can be seen that will be created in the process of standardizing the new 5G radio:
