NEWS IN BRIEF

Retiring RAN1 expert rewarded

A 3GPP Working Group RAN1 veteran with over 20 years in the group has been presented
with a Lifetime Achievement Award, during the RAN1#110 meeting this summer.
Robert Love has made significant contributions to RAN1 standardization notably as the editor of the LTE technical specification
TS36.213 - Physical layer procedures, ensuring the production of high-quality versions from 3GPP Release 8 onwards.
Bob’s work has exemplified what an outstanding 3GPP delegate should be. In 2013 he received the 3GPP Excellence Award – given
to only four experts in the year, over the whole project.

Mega-Meeting in the Pink City

1000+ delegates are expected for the November 14-18, with the CT, RAN and SA Working Groups meeting at the MEETT congress
center Toulouse. The week will see the 100th meeting of the SA1 Working Group and a party is planned for SA1 Services experts, old
and new.
On the meetings theme - This Issue of Highlights has more on our return to face-to-face meetings. See our article (page 24)
‘Planning the great comeback’, which considers our meeting prospects for the year ahead.
