| 10:00 – 11:00 |  Speaker: Mr. Anwar Faizd Osman (Telekom Malaysia) Title: System Architecture and Specifications For 5G Advance Abstract: 5G-Advanced is the next evolutionary step in 5G technology. It will bring a new level of enhanced capabilities beyond connectivity and enable a wider set of advanced use cases for verticals. It will support advanced applications with enhanced mobility and high reliability as well as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) that will improve network performance. Release 15 formed the basis for 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) deployments, however, these still relied on 4G LTE infrastructure for the delivery of end-to-end services. Indeed, many operators launched commercial 5G services with enhanced eMBB or Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) technology, which were in essence similar to earlier LTE services. 3GPP followed with Releases 16 and 17 which introduced enhancements for Industrial IoT (IIoT) including innovations to support time-sensitive communication (TSC), and the wider expansion of the 5G ecosystem, enhanced MIMO, small data transmission (SDT), User Equipment energy-saving, and many more enhancements. The launch of Release 18 marks another major evolution in 5G technology that will lead the industry into the 5G advanced era. We look into system architecture and specifications that define what is 5G-Advance. |
