Samsung Electronics at the moment introduced that it has secured a management place on the third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the world’s largest telecommunications normal growth group.
During the plenary assembly held in Incheon on March 12, Dr. Younsun Kim, Master at Samsung Research, Samsung Electronics, was elected as Chair of the 3GPP Technical Specification Group Radio Access Network (TSG RAN),1 which is liable for standardizing all facets of wi-fi expertise, such because the bodily layer, protocol facets and radio useful resource management.
“I believe that my election as chair is further recognition of Samsung’s leadership in mobile communication technology,” mentioned Dr. Kim. “6G standardization involves more than just solving technical issues; it is a collaborative effort requiring participation from all companies and organizations in the mobile communication sector. I will make every effort to successfully lead 3GPP’s TSG RAN and advance the standardization of 6G.”
Since its institution in 1998, 3GPP has led the event of world cell communication expertise requirements with participation from main telecommunications corporations and organizations worldwide, together with Samsung, Apple, Qualcomm, Huawei, Ericsson and Nokia.
In May 2021, Dr. Kim was elected Chair of Radio Access Network Working Group 1 (RAN WG1), which is the biggest working group inside 3GPP and liable for growing bodily layer specs for 3GPP radio entry applied sciences. Over the previous 4 years, Dr. Kim has efficiently led the standardization of 5G bodily layer expertise, considerably contributing to the emergence of the 5G community business.
Through Dr. Kim’s expanded position as chair of 3GPP TSG RAN beginning in May, Samsung will have the ability to contribute to the standardization of 6G, the following era of cell communication expertise.
Dr. Kim’s appointment to the chair place of the Technical Specification Group is seen as a recognition of Samsung’s contributions and technological management within the cell communication business.
The firm at the moment holds two chair positions in RAN WG1 and SA WG2, in addition to 4 vice-chair positions in RAN WG2, SA WG4, SA WG6 and CT WG3. With Dr. Kim’s election as Chair of TSG RAN, Samsung Electronics will keep the business’s highest variety of chair positions inside 3GPP, even after the RAN WG1 chair time period expires, solidifying its pivotal position amongst over 800 member corporations.
The development of cell communication programs is now at a turning level. It should not solely improve transmission speeds but additionally drive 6G standardization with a give attention to new values. 3GPP plans to launch analysis on 6G within the second half of this yr.
6G goals to attain future-oriented and sustainable developments in cell communication expertise, together with enhancing the power effectivity of networks, enhancing community high quality utilizing AI and introducing safety applied sciences to forestall assaults originating from quantum computer systems. At this crucial milestone, Dr. Kim’s election as chair by the help from worldwide cell communication requirements specialists holds nice significance.
Meanwhile, Samsung lately printed a 6G White Paper titled, “AI-Native & Sustainable Communication” that outlines the most recent traits and way forward for next-generation cell communication applied sciences. It additionally highlights Samsung’s management in 6G analysis and different key applied sciences.
With its management in next-generation communication expertise and Dr. Younsun Kim’s position as Chair of 3GPP, Samsung is predicted to steer the standardization of 6G expertise and make vital contributions to the development of the cell communication business total.
