Highlights: We have recently agreed that we CCSA is one of the seven 3GPP Organizational Partners - from Asia, Europe and
will have a new 5G marker, as the mid-point for North America – that determine the general policy and strategy of 3GPP and also
transpose the approved 3GPP Technical Specifications into national and regional
the work. What are the most important features
CHINA STANDARDS IN that will be in Release 18, the starting point for standards.
5G-Advanced?

SUPPORT OF INTERNATIONAL WEN Ku: 5G-Advanced will continue to enhance
the success of 5G and play an increasing role in
COOPERATION promoting the in-depth integration of 5G with
various industries. Regarding the most important
features of Rel-18, different experts may have
different opinions, and the final solutions will be
determined after full discussion and coordination
among the experts. From my personal point
of view, Rel-18 shall meet the following three
characteristics:
• The first is to meet the application requirements
of subdivided IoT, and provide more precise
technical solutions for different application
scenarios;
• the second is to adopt technologies such as
full duplex and integration of communication
and sensing to continuously improve the basic
transmission efficiency of 5G systems;

• and the third is the deep integration of 5G
and artificial intelligence, taking advantages of
AI technologies to improve the efficiency of 5G
networks and support 5G networks to carry AI
applications more efficiently.
Highlights: These three characteristics are
bringing in new ideas - New to 3GPP. How
optimistic are you that the project will have the
capacity to cope with such diverse needs as
healthcare, transport, industrial automation and
other ‘smart’ sectors?
WEN Ku: The evolution to the industrial Internet
is a global trend and 5G shall meet the demands
of these new applications and technologies. From
the perspective of demand for new features, it is
necessary to incorporate the needs of customers
in medical, industrial and other industries at the
research stage and to transform these needs into
technical characteristics of the network and its
subsequent technological evolution.
It is also necessary to pay attention to the
differentiated technical requirements of these
industries under the optic of a unified 5G
technical architecture. To form a large-scale and
reproducible industrial ecology, it is necessary
to make differentiated partial customizations for
different industries; to form a standards system
for the private use of the public network, so as
to enable 5G base stations, core networks, edge
computing and networks and services management
platform to adapt to these businesses.
Finally, because of these new needs and the
evolving 3GPP system to meet them, it is “The evolution to the industrial
necessary to establish close relationships with
those new industry customers, so that the Internet is a global trend and 5G
market can verify and inform future 3GPP work,
forming a closed loop for decades of successful shall meet the demands of these new
standardization work ahead. applications and technologies”
Our thanks for this interview, to WEN Ku,
Secretary-General, CCSA
