The new standards are tailored to enhance scenarios outlined in the union’s international mobile telecommunications 2030 framework: communications that are immersive, ultra-reliable low-latency and AI integrated.
Cui Kai, an associate research director from consulting company IDC who covers the telecoms industry, highlighted the importance of the standards.
For example, immersive communication “goes beyond just VR or multimedia screens. Any service requiring high bandwidth, low latency and high reliability can benefit from these architectures and modules”, he said.
The developments were endorsed on July 26 during a plenary meeting of the union’s Telecommunication Standardisation Sector study group 13, a work group dedicated to future networks and emerging technologies.
