DOCOMO Technical Journal: Special Articles on 3GPP Release 18 Standardization

The release of January 2025 of the DOCOMO Technical Journal features special articles on 3GPP Release 18 Standardization with contributions from DOCOMO Euro-labs.

An “Overview of 5G Core Network Advanced Technologies in 3GPP Release 18 System Architecture” provides insights about enhancements and new functionalities to support Extended Reality and Media services (XRM), deterministic communications, network slicing, RNAA (Resource owner-aware Northbound API Access), and intent driven management. The article, co-authored by DOCOMO Euro-labs colleagues Jari Mutikainen, Malla Reddy Sama and Riccardo Guerzoni with Yoshitaka Hatanaka, Junpei Uoshima and Atsushi Minokuchi, is available here

Additionally, an article on “Advanced Technologies for Network Automation and AI/ML in 3GPP Release 18” addresses AI/ML features embedded in the 3GPP 5G System (AI for Network) and network functions introduced in the 3GPP 5G System to support AI/ML applications (Network for AI). In particular, the article explains the advances in 5G Core technologies that will enable these capabilities and discuss how 5G Core will accelerate the implementation of intelligent networks and support the deployment of cutting-edge AI/ML services. The article, co-authored by Dr. Bahador Bakhshi, Malla Reddy Sama and Riccardo Guerzoni with Atsushi Minokuchi, is available here.
