  3GPP Release 18: 5G-Advanced and SA Evolution Introduction 3GPP Release 18 introduces 5G-Advanced as the mid-point of 5G standardization. Building on Release 15's foundation, Release 18 expands capabilities to deliver the full promise of the Internet of Everything, with particular emphasis on Standalone (SA) deployment enhancements. What is 5G-Advanced? 5G-Advanced bridges initial 5G deployments and future 6G systems. Release 18 delivers fundamental enhancements in network intelligence, efficiency, and application support, including improvements in spectral efficiency, energy consumption, positioning accuracy, and support for extended reality and ambient IoT use cases. SA (Standalone Architecture) Advanced Features Standalone Architecture represents pure 5G deployment using 5G NR with 5GC. Unlike NSA deployments relying on 4G infrastructure, SA provides full 5G capabilities including ultra-low latency, network slicing, and edge computing integration. Key SA Enhancements in...

3GPP Releases Timeline Explained: 5G, 5G-Advanced & Roadmap to 6G

Image
This article explains the 3GPP release timeline, key features of 5G, the evolution to 5G-Advanced, and what to expect toward 6G. It is written for telecom engineers, planners, and technology professionals. What is 3GPP? 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) is the global organization responsible for developing mobile communication standards.  It defines specifications for 2G, 3G,4G and 5G Technologies standards , covering radio access, core networks, security, and services. 3GPP works through releases , where each release introduces new features while maintaining backward compatibility. These releases shape how mobile networks evolve over time. Why 3GPP Releases Matter in Telecom Each 3GPP Release: Introduces new capabilities (speed, latency, reliability) Enhances network efficiency and scalability Enables new use cases (IoT, automation, XR, AI-driven networks) Guides vendor roadmaps and operator deployments Understanding releases helps engineers and plan...
