5G Standard & Specification – ITU & 3GPP

5G Standard & Specification – ITU & 3GPP

International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is a United Nations specialized agency who issues standards, called recommendations that define the overall concept for 5G technology including technical, performance, and service requirements. Its objective to achieve end-to-end compatibility of international telecommunication connections, regardless of the countries of origin and destinations.

The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) unites seven telecommunications standard development organizations (ARIB, ATIS, CCSA, ETSI, TSDSI, TTA, TTC), known as “Organizational Partners”, who produce the reports and specifications that define 3GPP technologies.
ITU translates 3GPP specifications into international standards (called recommendations) that dictate how 5G is being implemented

Aim of ITU and 3GPP is to accelerate innovation in cellular telecommunications technologies, including radio access, core network and service capabilities, which provide a complete system description for mobile telecommunications.

The 3GPP specifications also provide hooks for non-radio access to the core network, and for interworking with non-3GPP networks and are verified for different deployment scenarios.
