Abstract
The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) completed its Fifth Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) Release 16 and approved the OpenAPI specification in July 2020. The 5G NR technology is expected to support numerous future applications in one or a mix of three usage scenarios: enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC), and Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC). However, 5G is still lacking its killer applications. Which vertical applications will fully utilize the capabilities offered by 5G that cannot be provided by 4G? What is the unprecedented performance gain these applications can achieve with 5G in practice? To answer these and similar questions, the 3GPP started to focus on specific applications and field performance evaluations in Release 17, which includes communication service requirements for critical medical applications, enhancements for unmanned aerial vehicles, enhancements for cyber-physical control applications in vertical domains, enhanced relays for energy efficiency and extensive coverage.
