The current development of 5G networks represents a breakthrough in the design of communication networks, for its ability to provide a single platform enabling a variety of different services, from enhanced mobile broadband communications,…

Mobile communications have been undergoing a generational change every ten years. Whilst we are just beginning to roll out 5G networks, significant efforts are planned to standardize 6G that is expected to be commercially introduced by…

Since the introduction of fifth-generation new radio (5G-NR) in Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 15, swift progress has been made to evolve 5G with 3GPP Release 18 emerging. A critical aspect is the design of massive…

The goal of this paper is to present advances on recent 3GPP standardization activities related to Device-to-Device (D2D) and public safety. The paper provides a clear 3GPP state of the art, including when the 3GPP work on D2D and public…

In this paper, we perform a survey on new Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-Advanced) enhancements,covering the technologies recently adopted by the 3GPP in LTE Release 11 and those being…

While fifth-generation (5G) communications are being rolled out worldwide, sixth-generation (6G) communications have attracted much attention from both the industry and the academia. Compared with 5G, 6G will have a wider frequency band,…

Fifth-generation (5G) communication, which has many more features than fourth-generation communication, will be officially launched very soon. A new paradigm of wireless communication, the sixth-generation (6G) system, with the full support…

In this paper we describe the recent 3GPP Release 16 specification for positioning in 5G networks. It specifies positioning signals, measurements, procedures, and architecture to meet requirements from a plethora of regulatory, commercial…

Extended reality (XR) is a key innovation of 5G-advanced and beyond networks. The diverse XR use-cases, including virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality, transform the way humans interact with surrounding environments. Thus,…

Ensuring user privacy remains a critical concern within mobile cellular networks, particularly given the proliferation of interconnected devices and services. In fact, a lot of user privacy issues have been raised in 2G, 3G, 4G/LTE…

Since 5G new radio comes with non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) versions in 3GPP, research on 6G has been on schedule by academics and industries. Though 6G is supposed to have much higher capabilities than 5G, yet there is no clear…

The widespread adoption of the fifth generation (5G) of cellular networks has brought new opportunities for the development of localization-based services. High-accuracy positioning use cases and functionalities defined by the standards are…

As of today, the fifth generation (5G) mobile communication system has been rolled out in many countries and the number of 5G subscribers already reaches a very large scale. It is time for academia and industry to shift their attention…

With increasing availability of spectrum in the market due to new spectrum allocation and re-farming bands from previous cellular generation networks, a more flexible, efficient and green usage of the spectrum becomes an important topic in…

The fifth generation (5G) wireless technology is primarily developed to support three classes of use cases, namely, enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable and low-latency communication (URLLC), and massive machine-type…

Future mobile communications systems are likely to be very different to those of today with new service innovations driven by increasing data traffic demand, increasing processing power of smart devices and new innovative applications. To…

For the fifth generation (5G) wireless network technology, the most important design goals were improved metrics of reliability and latency, in addition to network resilience and flexibility so as to best adapt the network operation for new…

Air interface is a fundamental component within any wireless communication system. In Release 18, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) delves into the possibilities of leveraging artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML)…

We provide an overview of the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) work on evolving the 5G wireless technology to support non-terrestrial satellite networks. Adapting 5G to support non-terrestrial networks entails a holistic design…
