From 8 to 10 May 2024, a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) workshop was held in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. In this workshop, various communities, including operators, verticals, regional alliances, and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), shared their views on 6G/information management technology (IMT) 2030 use cases.
This gathering aimed to delve into the perspectives and priorities of operators, regional 6G research alliances, 3GPP partners, and other innovators regarding IMT2030 use cases, laying the groundwork for formal 6G standardization activities within 3GPP. The trigger was the finalization of the ITU Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) vision framework document, which enlists six overarching 6G Usage Scenarios: Immersive Communication, Massive Communication, Hyperreliable and Low-Latency Communication, Ubiquitous Connectivity, AI and Communication, and Integrated Sensing and Communication.
The ITU-R addressed the idea that IMT2030 is expected to support enriched/immersive experiences, enhanced ubiquitous coverage, and new forms of collaboration. Furthermore, it is envisaged to support expanded and new usage scenarios compared to those of IMT2030 while providing improved and new capabilities. The first 3GPP Technical Specification Group-wide 6G workshop is expected to be held on 10-11 March 2025.
