1、DRIVING 5G-ADVANCED TO 6GINTRODUCTIONA new cellular generation is typically commercialized every 10 years and brings new experiences,faster access speeds,and more value for both consumers and enterprises.These new cellular generations bring improvements that address societal and business challenges,

2、and help improve both lifestyle and business profitability.2G introduced mobile voice and Short Messaging Service(SMS),3G introduced mobile data,4G mobile broadband,and 5G a consistent data fabric to meet the high demands of the mobile network.Figure 1 provides a summary of cellular generation stand

3、ards and their commercialization,from 2009 to 2028.A typical lag between the completion of a new generation standard and implementation of the first network is less than a year,and in the case of 5G,even before the full standard was fully frozen.Release 15s early drop was frozen in March 2018,SK Tel

4、ecom launched 5G in April 2019,and the late drop,or the full 5G Release 15 specification,was released in June 2019.The path to 1 billion subscribers is also shrinkingit took 6 years for 4G to achieve this milestone,whereas 5G achieved the same in just 3 years.5G saw an acceleration in the beginning
