Contributions in Release 18/19 of 5G Advanced Standard

My team regularly attends 3GPP meetings to design 5G+ standard that are held in all over the world, and contribute to its design. We are currently designing AI/ML protocols, ambient IoT, and integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) for 5G+ standard. This page contains the details of contributions we have made in the 5G+ standard meeting. This standard-specific research is being done in a project funded by Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India.

News Letters

  • Work done by us on "ambient IoT, appeared in 3GPP news letter, June 2024, page 23.

  • Work done by us on “Evolution of network node: From IAB to IRS” for 5G and beyond standardization, appeared in 3GPP news letter, May 2023, pp 20-21.
