42nd Wireless World Research Forum, Tokyo, Japan
Wireless World Research Forum (WWRF) is a group studying the wireless communication
technology based in Europe. The 42nd WWRF meeting will be held in conjunction with
WWRF’s premiere event, the 6th 5G Huddle in Tokyo, Japan.

1This event will look in detail at the truth behind this vision of 5G. The theme, “The 5G
dream becomes real? will it keep its promises?” not only encompasses technology, but also
associates it to the relevant business domains, together defined as the Business
Ecosystem. Academics, researchers and industrial representatives will be invited to share
their views and present technical results on future technologies, business models andecosystems, to discuss critical business and regulatory aspects, and to present advanced
technology findings that will impact the future socio-techno-economic systems.
WWRF asked the Fifth Generation Mobile Communication Promotion Forum (5GMF) for
assistance to hold WWRF meeting and 5G Huddle in Japan. 5GMF is preparing for ameeting invitation as follows.

Newly established Standards at Standard Assembly on 11 October 2018

IMT Systems based on 3GPP Specifications(STD-T120 Ver.1.0)
This standard relates to the international standard IMT Systems (International Mobile
Telecommunications Systems) based on the technical specifications of 3GPP (Third
Generation Partnership Project), and it describes system specifications such as radio
access, core transport network, codec, security, service functions.
Based on the fact that 3GPP technical specifications covers 3rd and 4th generation, theconventional standards (3rd generation: STD-T63, 4th generation: STD-T104) were
integrated into the new standard describing specifications from Release8 to Release15
which had been updated by July 2018. The new standard is re-defined as 3GPP
Specifications (ARIB STD-T120 Ver. 1.00).
