5G Specification and Structure of the 3GPP

5g-channel-Codes

5G Specification and Structure of the 3GPP. 3GPP starts its work on 5G with its first meetings in the US next month. The work item approved by RAN plenary (RP-170847) primarily targets eMBB and URLLC scenario and services requirements. Frequency ranges up to 52.6 GHz are considered for the 5G, while OTA RF requirements will be defined for below 6 GHz and above 24 GHz.  Initially the Dual Connectivity solution with LTE as the master and NR as salve prioritize, later on, NR can be the master or an NR gNB serves as a standalone base station.
