5G-Advanced and Migration Toward Next Generation
As we witness the expansive roll-out of 5G networks globally, with over 150 live networks to date, the telecommunications industry stands on the cusp of yet another major leap. This presentation will delve into the ongoing evolution of 5G technology, generally referred to as 5G-Advanced, and its trajectory towards the next-generation networks. Our discussion will navigate through the key enhancements and developments as defined by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), emphasizing the enhancement of performance, expansion into new market segments, and the drive towards sustainable network operations. Furthermore, the session will explore how the innovations of 5G-Advanced are anticipated to become the foundational elements for the 6G framework. Insights and 'lessons learned' from the deployment and operation of 5G-Advanced networks will be discussed, providing valuable foresight into the considerations and design principles that may shape the next generation networks.
