Which 3GPP release specifies the first release of LTE?
Release 8
Release 8 was frozen in December 2008 and this has been the basis for the first wave of LTE equipment. LTE specifications are very stable, with the added benefit of enhancements having been introduced in all subsequent 3GPP Releases.
Which are the 3GPP 5G releases?
3GPP Release 18 and onward 4G took 10 years and six different 3GPP releases to reach the capabilities and functions it ultimately provides, so it’s likely that 5G will include multiple releases. After the December 2020 meeting, 3GPP updated its public documented information to include Release 18 as a 5G release.
What is TD Scdma CDMA UMTS?
Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) is an air interface found in UMTS mobile telecommunications networks in China. It is a Time Division Duplex (TDD) 3G technology as opposed to Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) like W-CDMA.
Is 3GPP release 16 frozen?
Last week saw the finalization of 3GPP’s next wave of 5G standards, Release 16. Despite a delay of a few months because of the pandemic crisis, the specifications have now been frozen after a series of online meetings of the 3GPP groups. (The 3GPP defines ASN.
What does G mean in 5G?
generation
The “G” associated with cellular networks stands for generation. 5G is the fifth and newest generation of cellular network technology and it should expand the capacity for mobile networks, allowing more devices to use the network than ever before.
What is UMTS network?
UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service) is a third-generation (3G) broadband, packet-based transmission of text, digitized voice, video, and multimedia at data rates up to 2 megabits per second (Mbps).
Which 3GPP release specifies 5G?
The Mobile. Broadband. Standard After initial delivery in late 2017 of ‘Non-Stand-Alone’ (NSA) NR new radio specifications for 5G, much effort focused in 2018 on timely completion of 3GPP Release 15 – the first full set of 5G standards – and on work to pass the first milestones for the 3GPP submission towards IMT-2020.
What is the 3GPP release in which the first version of 5G was specified?
After initial delivery in late 2017 of ‘Non-Stand-Alone’ (NSA) NR new radio specifications for 5G, much effort focused in 2018 on timely completion of 3GPP Release 15 – the first full set of 5G standards – and on work to pass the first milestones for the 3GPP submission towards IMT-2020.
What is UMTS and HSPA?
Technology Overview UMTS provides a clear evolutionary path to high-speed packet access (HSPA). HSPA refers to the combination of high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) and high-speed uplink packet access (HSUPA). HSPA also boosts capacity in UMTS networks and provides significant latency reductions.
What are the UMTS frequency bands used for?
UMTS Frequency Bands. UMTS frequency bands are spectrum allocations dedicated to use for 3G Universal Mobile Telecommunications System networks. Bands are harmonised internationally via the 3GPP 25.101 standard. The below table lists Frequency Division Duplex UMTS bands, compiled from 3GPP 25.101 (Rel 99, May 1999)
What is the difference between UMTS and 3GPP?
3GPP is now working on Long Term Evolution (LTE), which will build on UMTS, as the Industry looks beyond 3G. Just as GSM has become synonymous with the whole mobile system for 2G, UMTS is 3G, which includes the whole of the W-CDMA and HSPA specifications catalogue.
Where can I find the release dates of 3GPP?
A table of the features, by Release, can also be found in the 3GPP Work Plan. There is also a 3GPP Specification Release version matrix which is a listing (with links) of the Specifications – showing the Release in which each specification was first developed. During the recent TSG#90 e-meetings, a new Rel-17 timeline was agreed.
When did 3GPP TSG ran shut down UMTS?
From June 2016 onwards, UMTS was further developed/maintained by 3GPP TSG RAN WG6 (“GERAN and UTRAN radio and protocol”) regarding its physical layer and layer 2/3 aspects. In June 2020 3GPP TSG RAN WG6 was closed and from this time onwards, this UMTS mainentance is carried out by 3GPP TSG RAN.
