3GPP Release 18 Overview: The World of 5G-Advanced

Thursday, February 2, 2023 | 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EST

As the first release of 5G-Advanced, Release 18 has been progressing well despite the challenges in fully resuming 3GPP face-to-face meetings in 2022.

In this webinar, we will provide a high-level summary of 3GPP Release 18: the confirmed Rel-18 timeline, status for the ongoing study and work items, and the newly converted work items from the completed study items. We will also give a brief introduction of the preparation for Release 19 aiming for approval of the package of projects in December 2023.

Distinguished Speakers

Wanshi Chen (Qualcomm, chair of 3GPP RAN plenary) will provide a view on radio interface and RAN system aspects.

Puneet Jain (Intel, chair of 3GPP System Architecture Group–SA2) will look at whole system capabilities and network aspects.

Iain Sharp (ATIS, Principal Technologist) will moderate the webinar.
