Highlights of ITU-R report: IMT TERRESTRIAL BROADBAND REMOTE COVERAGE
Introduction: Almost three years in the making (see References below), this ITU-R report on IMT TERRESTRIAL BROADBAND REMOTE COVERAGE provides details on scenarios associated with the provisioning of enhanced mobile broadband services in sparsely populated and underserved remote areas with a discussion on enhancements of user and network equipment. Mobile broadband access in rural and… Read more
Summary of ITU-R Workshop on “IMT for 2030 and beyond” (aka “6G”)
ITU-R Working Party 5D (WP 5D) held a full-day Workshop on “IMT for 2030 and beyond” on June 14th with total 348 participants in a hybrid physical and remote/virtual participants arrangement (91 physically present in Geneva, Switzerland and 257 connected remotely). The objective of the Workshop was to provide WP 5D delegates with an overview of… Read more
Excerpts of ITU-R preliminary draft new Report: FUTURE TECHNOLOGY TRENDS OF TERRESTRIAL IMT SYSTEMS TOWARDS 2030 AND BEYOND
Cautionary Note: This ITU-R draft report is not complete or agreed upon at this time. Therefore, all of the text below is subject to change. For sure, AI will play a huge role in future IMT Introduction: International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) systems are mobile broadband systems including both IMT-2000 (3G), IMT-Advanced (true 4G) and IMT-2020 (M.2150… Read more
Draft new ITU-R report: Applications of IMT (4G, 5G) for Specific Societal, Industrial and Enterprise Usages
Introduction and Call for Contributions: A preliminary new ITU-R draft report M.[imt.industry] addresses the usage, technical and operational aspects and capabilities of IMT for meeting specific needs of societal, industrial and enterprise usages. ITU-R WP 5D invites the views of External Organizations (Including 3GPP TSG SA WG 6 (SA6)) involved in standardization and development of applications… Read more
Revision of ITU-R Handbook on Global Trends in International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT)
ITU-R WP5D has initiated the development of a draft new edition of the Handbook on Global Trends in International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT). Fast development of mobile broadband worldwide urgently requires up-to-date general guidance on issues related to the deployment of IMT systems and the introduction/development of their IMT-2000, IMT-Advanced and IMT-2020 networks. The Handbook on… Read more
ITU-R Report in Progress: Use of IMT (likely 5G and 6G) above 100 GHz (even >800 GHz)
Introduction: In July 2015, ITU-R published Report M-2376: Technical feasibility of IMT in bands above 6 GHz Since then, there has been academic and industry research and development ongoing related to suitability of mobile broadband systems in frequency bands above 100GHz. As a result, a new ITU-R Report ITU-R M.[IMT.ABOVE 100 GHz] was started at… Read more
IMT towards 2030 and beyond (“6G”): Technologies for ubiquitous computing and data services
From emerging IMT towards 2030 and beyond use cases such as digital twin, cyber-physical systems, mixed reality, industrial/service robots, the following technology trends can be observed: There is a need to process data at the network edge for real-time response, low transport cost, and privacy protection. There is need to scale out device computing capability… Read more
Development of “IMT Vision for 2030 and beyond” from ITU-R WP 5D
Introduction: No organization, standards or spec writing body have detailed anything real related to “6G.” All the 6G claims from telecom equipment vendors and network operators are pure propaganda/hype. There is no consensus of what 6G will be, nor is there any effort to standardize “5G Advanced.” Hence, there is no basis whatsoever to talk… Read more
