en.Wedoany.com Reported - The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) recently approved Technical Report TR 38.914, its first study to identify the primary usage scenarios and required capabilities of 6G radio technology, marking significant progress in 6G standardization work this week.

Approved at the TSG#112 meeting in Singapore, the report aligns 3GPP's work direction with the framework established by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) for IMT-2030, facilitating the integration of relevant outcomes into the global 6G definition process. The report covers deployment scenarios, technical and operational requirements, key performance indicators, network architecture and migration schemes, as well as the types of services that future 6G platforms should support. With this phase completed at the plenary, subsequent research will be transferred to various Radio Access Network (RAN) working groups for in-depth exploration of radio technology specifics.

Another agreement reached at this meeting was the adoption of a unified common terminology for all groups involved in 6G development. Defined terms include 6GR (6G Radio), 6G RAT (Radio Access Technology), 6G RAN (Radio Access Network), 6GC (6G Core Network), and 6GS (6G System). While this may seem like a detail-oriented task, adopting a unified nomenclature aims to prevent future divergence among standardization bodies and the industry.

The approval of TR 38.914 marks the official end of the first phase of 6G requirements definition and lays the foundational framework for the initial technical specifications that will constitute 3GPP Release 21.
