Standards Development Organizations (SDO) Chairman Panel - B6GS 2023

Moderator Dr. Ulrich Dropmann, Nokia, leads the SDO Chairman's Panel, following two panel talks: 

Seizo Onoe, ITU - Talk #1

Wanshi Chen, 3GPP RAN WG1 - Talk #2

Talk#1

Standardization’s Role and the Evolution of Mobile Generations Toward 12G

Standardization plays a significant role in enhancing user convenience and fostering industrial development through technology dissemination.
Within the complex framework of multiple standardization organizations, collaboration that leverages each other’s strengths has become crucial. The advent of 5G created a kind of boom, attracting interest from various industries and facilitating cross-industry collaborations.
While mobile systems often focus primarily on radio technology aspects, non-radio aspects also constitute vital components, which are agnostic to mobile generations in some cases.
This talk discusses the role of ITU and standardization, the booms accompanying new generations, perspectives on generation evolution, generation-agnostic components, and explores the potential future for 12G.

Talk#2 
G-Advanced and Beyond
As the first release of the second phase of 5G standardization 5G-Advanced, Release 18 in 3GPP has progressed well despite the challenges due to COVID-19. This talk provides a high-level summary of 3GPP Release 18 from the radio access network (RAN) perspective. Then, hear a brief introduction of how 5G will evolve in the next several years, first by summarizing the Release 19 workshop in June 2023 and the recent development in the RAN plenary meeting in September 2023. As a continuation of 5G-Advanced, Release 19 will primarily focus on investing in 5G-Advanced commercial deployments to improve performance and address critical needs. Release 19 is also a bridge to 6G, for which 3GPP is expected to develop input to the IMT-2030 process.
