Adopted as 5G Standards
A proposal on core 5G network standards, which was made by the “5G global group” including SK Telecom, has been adopted by an international mobile telecommunication standard organization called 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).
SK Telecom announced on November 27 that standards for technologies in four sectors, including data transmission, virtual network and data response speeds, which the 5G global group presented, were adopted by 3GPP.
The 5G global group was formed by 15 global telecommunication and equipment manufacturers such as AT&T, Deutsche Telecom, Ericsson, Nokia and Samsung Electronics in August to cooperate in the standardization for 5G network. SK Telecom is the only domestic mobile carrier joining the group.
Standards for technologies that were presented by the 5G global group include a technology that minimizes number of errors during a process of sending large amount of data, a technology that separates single physical network into multiple virtual networks depending on characteristics of services, a technology that improves quality of services by increasing response speed of data requests, and a technology that increases effectiveness by forming network with necessary functions according to services
