5G workshop focused on including verticals
Public Safety Communications Europe (PSCE) recently took part in the second 5G-Vertical User Workshop, which was held 9–10 July in Rome.
The workshop series, an initiative of a subset of European 3GPP Market Representation Partners (MRPs), is designed to help vertical industries become part of the standardisation process, develop synergies, and obtain guidance from 3GPP by exchanging on future needs and upcoming standards developments.
To improve technical input and networking, the workshop was co-located with the 3GPP SA6 Meeting, with dedicated slots on the second day.
A key aim of the workshop was to boost contributions to 5G standardisation across verticals and 5G projects, with the current focus on 3GPP Release 17. The agenda for this workshop therefore focused on 5G vertical technical viewpoints, common requirements and complementarities, and common interests.
The workshop will produce a report (the ‘Input Document’) to be shared directly with the 3GPP Project Coordination Group (PCG) and Technical Specification Groups (TSG), detailing action points around greater involvement of the 5G vertical users in the 3GPP process.
There will also be a post-event report for public perusal, as well as a version for other standards organisations to help smooth future collaboration on 5G standards for vertical industries.
