3gpp Release 17 features work

Some of the major features on which work is going on Release 17 is below: 1.NR MIMO 2.NR sidelink enh 3.52.6 to 71 Ghz with existing waveform 4.Dynamic Spectrum Sharing(DSS) enh. 5.Industrial IoT/URLLC enh. 6. Enh for Small Data. There are many more features on which work is going on apart from these which I have mentioned above. But my interest was on specifically on these features which I would like to discuss more on my upcoming blogs.You can see the complete list on 3gpp Website. In this blog , let us talk something about Enhancement for Small Data. As per RP-193252 on 3gpp , as we know that NR supports RRC_INACTIVE state. Until Release 16 UE does not support data transmission on RRC_INACTIVE state.So any time irrespective of the size of data , UE first needs to move to RRC_CONNECTED state and do the data transmission. Once the transmission is over UE move back to RRC_INACTIVE state if the connection is released. This leads to unnecessary power consumption and s...
Basic AT Commands: Some basic AT commands that we generally give before starting any UE testing are: AT+CIMI - Gives the IMSI of the SIM inserted in UE AT+CGSN- To check UE IMEI Commands to start tracing in MA AT+XSIO?  Gives the currently active variant. AT+XSIO=? Gives the available variant and attached port for tracing AT+TRACE=0 To stop tracing AT+TRACE=1 To start tracing
