First, the basics: The “G” stands for generation , meaning 5G is the most current generation of cell phone network coverage and speeds. 3G technology created the first networks fast enough to make smartphones practical.
Read moreWhat is 3GPP used for?
3GPPTM is a partnership project bringing together national Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) from around the globe initially to develop technical specifications for the 3rd generation of mobile, cellular telecommunications, UMTS .
Read moreWhy is 3GPP important?
3GPP began work in 2016 on defining 5G global standards for a new radio access technology — 5G NR (New Radio) — and a next-generation network architecture — 5G NextGen — to address these requirements . In parallel, 4G LTE continues to evolve as it will play an essential role in next-generation 5G networks.2 Ağu 2017
Read moreIs 3GPP the same as 4G?
After several technical challenges and solutions, the LTE system developed by 3GPP became the 4G standard most predominantly used and deployed , and has since become the global standard for 4G with close to 600 LTE networks launched in 189 countries worldwide (source: GSA, May 2017).2 Ağu 2017

3GPPTM is a partnership project bringing together national Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) from around the globe initially to develop technical specifications for the 3rd generation of mobile, cellular telecommunications, UMTS.
Read moreWhat is the purpose of 3GPP?
3GPP develops technical specifications, not standards . 3GPP is an engineering organization that develops technical specifications. These technical specifications are then transposed into standards by the seven regional Standards Setting Organizations (SSOs) that form the 3GPP partnership (as seen below in Figure 2).2 Ağu 2017
Read moreWhat is 3GPP standard for 5G?
3GPP has split the 5G standard into two releases: Release 15, which corresponds to NR Phase 1, and Release 16, which corresponds to NR Phase 2 . In NR Phase 1, there are common elements between LTE and NR, such as both using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM).
