NEW DELHI: India’s own fifth-generation standard, 5Gi<\/a>, will be merged with 3GPP<\/a>’s global 5G standard<\/a>. The decision was taken at the recently concluded 3GPP TSG RAN plenary session.

“A plan of action was agreed at the 3GPP TSG RAN plenary (RAN#94-e), to allow the merger of
5G<\/a>i into 5G, with specific milestones set for both 3GPP and TSDSI,” 3GPP said in an official statement.

3GPP is a global initiative that provides standards and specifications on telecommunications technologies.

From the 3GPP side, two Rel-17 Change Requests (CRs) clarifying the specification of the Pi\/2-BPSK modulation scheme - to support low peak-to-average-power ratio (PAPR) transmissions – have been technically endorsed. In addition, the objectives of the RAN WG4-led Rel-17 work item along with a recent way forward for the same project have been amended.

In turn, TSDSI has committed to the merger of 5Gi into 3GPP along with a roadmap of pursuing merged 3GPP 5G specifications in India with no further 5Gi updates in ITU-R.

“…we can actually really start building 6G standards, and in these 6G standards, we cooperate with 3GPP,” Randeep Sekhon, CTO of Bharti AIrtel told ET.<\/p><\/div>
