New Features in the Next Release of 5G New Radio

Hua Zhou, Wireless Technology Specialist at Ofinno, recently wrote a whitepaper which presents an overview of some 3GPP Rel-17 features enhancing efficiency and performance of 5G NR Rel-15/16, addressing the needs of vertical industries and supporting satellites and HAPs. There are many other features targeting different performance metrics (such as latency reduction and quality of experience (QoE) improvement) and targeting new services/applications (such as multiple cast and broadcast, multi-SiM, and eXtended Reality (XR) applications).
