Overview:

5G-Advanced, as part of 3GPP Release 18 in 2024, is the next milestone in the 5G Era. 5G-Advanced brings in new wireless technology innovations strengthening the 5G system foundation including improving speed, maximizing coverage, enhancing mobility and power efficiency.

5G-Advanced is set to bring enhancements on mobility by:

  • Uplink and Multicast at better latency and position accuracy for XR
  • Increasing sustainability from the use of AI/ML data-driven designs

5G-Advanced has opened a wealth of opportunities to enable enhanced functionality and use cases for the enterprise market.

Huawei, together with China Mobile, Ericsson and Orange, shared valuable insights in a webinar on 22 September 2022 about how 5G-Advanced will enhance network performance and unlock the potential of the metaverse. Real-life case studies in Broadband, IoT, XR and VPN provide evidence for 5G-Advanced benefits. Advancing the 5G Era whitepaper also looks at delivering industry value, technical progress so far, planning for sustainability and future opportunities.
