6G Standards Tracker on Pre-standardisation work and Relevant Telco 6G Standards

This tool has been set up for the 6G Industry Association (6GIA) SNS JU R&I projects, to help them see through the complexities of the technologies being standardized.

"As a collaborative platform, the Standards Tracker aims to simplify the technical and regulatory labyrinth for specialists from diverse industry verticals. Focusing on current 5G standardisation efforts led by entities like 3GPP..." says the 6G SNS announcement.

A word search option in the tool is supplimented by filters on Use cases (eMBB, Massive MTC, URLLC, etc), technology tier (RAN, Core, Edge, etc), Research area or Standards landscapes (filter on early or later 3GPP releases).

The tracker provides links to standards efforts by 3GPP, ITU, ETSI, ISO/IEC and will expand to others as the project progresses.

Alongside the standards tracker sits the "SNS JU Pre-standardisation Tracker", looking at developments within the SNS R&I project community, particularly in pre-standardisation efforts for 6G.

The 6G SNS website notes that "This platform not only keeps the community informed about the activities of Standard Development Organizations (SDOs) and relevant telecommunications standards but also aids in navigating the evolving landscape of 5G transitioning towards 6G."
