Ericsson leads European Union 5G standardization projects
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Ericsson continues to spearhead 5G system development as coordinator of EU's
new METIS-II project
* The project will develop the overall 5G radio system design and roadmap
recommendation for 5G, playing a key coordinating role within the 5G-PPP
projects, and bringing key players together to advance 5G system
architecture
* Ericsson will also take the lead as technical coordinator of the mmMAGIC
project to develop a new radio interface
Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) continues to spearhead 5G system development as
coordinator of the new METIS-II EU project to develop the overall 5G radio
system design and roadmap recommendation for 5G standardization.
On a strategic level, METIS-II will provide the 5G collaboration framework
within the 5G Infrastructure Public Private Partnership (5G-PPP) for a common
evaluation of 5G radio access network concepts and a recommended 5G spectrum
roadmap. It will also lead to the preparation of concerted actions toward
regulatory and standardization bodies.
The project centers on a strong international consortium, consisting of 23
partners from all regions with strong 5G R&D initiatives (China, the EU, Japan,
South Korea and the US) and involving most of the major international vendors,
major operators, and key researchers.
METIS-II will therefore have the unique capability to drive consensus-building
globally, to consolidate a full picture of the needs of mobile as well as
vertical industries, and to disseminate the results to the relevant bodies,
forums, and standardization groups in all regions.
The project is co-funded in the EU H2020 research program and has a budget of
EUR 8 million.
As the main driver and coordinator of the METIS-II project together with the
global consortium, Ericsson will integrate technologies into a radio access
design and provide a platform for concerted actions toward regulatory and
standards bodies. The METIS II project will leverage the success of METIS, the
first integrated 5G project also driven and coordinated by Ericsson.
In addition, Ericsson will take the lead as the technical coordinator of the
mmMAGIC (Millimetre-Wave Based Mobile Radio Access Network for Fifth-Generation
Integrated Communications) project. This project will develop and design new
concepts for mobile radio access technology for deployment in the 6-100 GHz
range.
Both projects are important in preparing a pre-standardization consensus in the
mobile industry. They provide the different consortia with an opportunity to
discuss and evaluate various research ideas before bringing them to the 3GPP
(3rd Generation Partnership Project).
Making 5G a global standard is the most critical factor for the digitalization
of industries, the Internet of Things, and broadband everywhere.
Standardization is necessary to connect people all over the world. Over several
generations of mobile networks, it has been the cornerstone that allows networks
all around the world to work seamlessly together, providing users with the same
experience.
Ericsson's unparalleled global scale, its respected position in research and
development, and its strong relationships with global players in the market puts
the company in a unique position to contribute to research in Europe and
beyond.
