BROWSING: R17

R17 adds native MEC support by defining an edge app architecture The 3GPP R15 specifications completed in 2018 provided the not only the foundations for 5G architecture, but also the basics for 5G MEC deployment as well. R16 provided features and functionality aimed at...

mTRP for eMBB is a MIMO technique that will help 5G mmWave deployments deliver predictable 5G broadband service at scale.

Non-Public Networks (NPNs) are 3GPP's term of art for private networks: "NPNs enable deployment of a 5G system for private use."

3GPP Release 17 unlocks better Multiple Transmission and Reception Point (mTRP) performance for low-latency and high-bandwidth 5G services.
