3GPP The collaborative standards organization that develops technical specifications for cellular technology, publishing its work as numbered releases that build additively on their predecessors, covering radio access, core network architecture, and… Regulatory & Compliance 3GPP Release 15 The 3GPP specification release, functionally frozen in June 2018, that defined New Radio as the 5G air interface along with the initial 5G core network architecture and network slicing capability,… Regulatory & Compliance 3GPP Release 16 The 3GPP specification release, functionally frozen in 2020, that extends the Release 15 5G baseline with NR-based sidelink and vehicle-to-everything communication, enhanced Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication for industrial use cases, and… Regulatory & Compliance 3GPP Release 17 The set of technical specifications published by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project as Release 17, functionally frozen in June 2022, which for the first time defines how non-terrestrial platforms integrate… Regulatory & Compliance 3GPP Release 18 The set of technical specifications published by 3GPP as Release 18, functionally frozen in 2024, defining the first "5G-Advanced" enhancements to the 5G System, including expanded NTN mobility and payload… Regulatory & Compliance 3GPP Release 19 The set of technical specifications published by 3GPP as Release 19, extending the Release 18 5G-Advanced baseline with further NTN direct-to-device and regenerative payload maturity, AI-native air interface work, and… Regulatory & Compliance 5G Core The service-based, cloud-native core network architecture standardized for 5G, exposing network functions through standardized service-based interfaces, providing the modular foundation for capabilities including network slicing. Concept/Framework 6G The next generation of cellular technology currently in research and early study-item phase within 3GPP and the ITU-R, expected to follow the 5G-Advanced arc concluding with Release 19, with no… Concept/Framework Access Control List Access Control List is an ordered set of rules that permits or denies traffic, users, or operations based on matching criteria. It enforces access decisions. Concept/Framework Access Network Access Network is the part of a communications network that links end users, devices, or remote sites to the provider infrastructure. It provides the first network hop for service access… Concept/Framework
