As Qualcomm continues to lead evolution of the #5G ecosystem, we are thrilled to share the latest and greatest when it comes to the upcoming Release 18 of 5G Advanced! I don't know about you, but I get very excited when Dr. John Smee drops a new white paper. Learn now Release 18 is not only enhancing 5G capabilities, but also laying the foundation for future advancements in #6G. Let’s take a look at why Release 18 is so special… 1. Enhanced Uplink: Improving the performance of uplink Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) performance, uplink transmit (Tx) switching, and dynamic power aggregation in carrier aggregation (CA). 2. Broadband Evolution: Delivers new capabilities on top of unrivaled capacity and speed: more layers per device, mobility management, dynamic spectrum sharing, precise positioning and more. 3. IoT Advancement & Adoption: Our goal is to democratize 5G, with Release 18 we have new capabilities for low-tier and mid-tier IoT devices, including support for enhanced Reduced Capability (RedCap) devices and small data transmission. 4. Efficient System Design: Release 18 enhances operational efficiency with network energy-saving techniques and expands the toolbox for cost-effective coverage expansion. 5. Wireless AI Foundation: Release 18 marks the beginning of the wireless AI era. Qualcomm’s work allows seamless integration into wireless systems, paving the way for future advancements in mobility optimization, channel feedback, beam management, and positioning. All in all, 5G Advanced Release 18 is a significant step forward in wireless technology, building upon the strong foundation of 4G/5G and setting the foundation for 6G and beyond. 🚀

thanks for sharing this update, One of the key updates I noticed in R18 (specific to SatCom) is supporting Ka band(>10GHz),which is critical for high throughput usecases in automotive world. But I wonder whether is there any chipset/NAD to support R18? last I checked was SA525M 5G supported R17. It would be good to know if there are any impacts to PIN2PIN compliance too with this R18....
