one6G becomes a 3GPP Market Representation Partner

one6G is proud to announce its designation as a 3GPP Market Representation Partner (MRP) following the decision at the 3GPP OP Meeting #52. This status highlights one6G’s dedication to advancing next-generation technologies and its ability to represent market needs within the 3GPP framework.

As an MRP, one6G will be contributing to the 3GPP scope by offering valuable market insights and advice and bringing consensus views on market requirements, such as services, features, and functionalities. The one6G team will regularly participate in 3GPP Project Coordination Group (PCG) meetings alongside Technical Specification Group Chairs.

A Data-Driven Approach to Representation

The journey to achieving MRP status began with an extensive one6G member survey conducted to identify the markets and business segments that can be effectively represented. The survey results revealed a broad range of industries and use cases that one6G’s members actively support:

• Education: 53%
• Software: 47%
• IT/ICT: 32%
• Consultancy Services: 32%
• Hardware: 23%

Markets the one6G members’ products and services relate to:

• Telecom: 70%
• Smart Cities: 65%
• Industry Automation: 43%
• Connected Vehicles: 41%
• e-Health: 23%

Critical KPIs for Relevant Use Cases:

• Latency: 79%
• Data Rate: 75%
• Reliability: 75%
• Energy Efficiency: 66%
• Positioning Accuracy: 52%

KPIs for the use cases relevant to the one6G members’ products and services, which cannot be satisfied by 5G and 5G advanced systems:

• Latency: 47%
• Sensing accuracy: 47%
• Energy efficiency: 43%

• Computing 23%

With its new MRP status, one6G will continue to be a driving force in shaping the future of wireless communication. By leveraging insights from its diverse member base and collaborating with key stakeholders in 3GPP, one6G is uniquely positioned to influence standards that address the needs of emerging industries. This milestone underscores one6G’s commitment to fostering innovation and bridging the gap between market requirements and technological capabilities, paving the way for the seamless evolution of wireless networks.

About 3GPP

The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) unites seven telecommunications standard development organizations (ARIB, ATIS, CCSA, ETSI, TSDSI, TTA, TTC), which produce the Reports and Specifications that define 3GPP technologies. 3GPP specifications cover cellular telecommunications technologies, including radio access, core network and service capabilities, which provide a complete system description for mobile telecommunications.
