The
International Telecommunication Union (ITU) organized the
ITU Workshop on “The Evolution of Transport and Access Networks to Support IMT 2030/6G" in the afternoon of Sunday
7 July 2024 at 14h00-18h00. This workshop was held in conjunction with the
ITU-T SG15 meeting, being held 1-12 July 2024 in Montreal, Canada.
ITU-T SG15 was responsible for transport, access and home networks.
The workshop was intended to provide a platform for all involved stakeholders to identify the architecture and requirements for transport network support of IMT 2030/6G networks with a focus on supporting the 5G advanced and 6G radio access network as specified by 3GPP.
Objectives
The objective of the workshop was to provide the participants of SG15 with an overview of the current status, the emerging requirements and timelines for IMT 2030/6G.
Issues of particular interest include:
- Identification of differences between the topology of the IMT 2030/6G network and the topology of current 5G network and emerging 5G advanced networks.
- Estimates of the link capacity and latency requirements.
- Transport network support of the energy efficiency objectives of IMT2030/6G.
-
Potential benefits of integration of the management of the transport and access network and the IMT2030/6G network.
Use of AI/ML to improve the coordination of the transport and access network with the IMT2030/6G network.
Target audience
ITU Members and non members, other interested SDOs, network equipment vendors, research organizations and, in particular, network operators from all geographic regions that have deployed 5G and plan to deploy 5G advanced or IMT 2030/6G are invited to participate.
