O-RAN Sustainability from 4G/5G to 6G Networks | O-RAN nGRG

Ravi Sinha, Co-Chairman nGRG O-RAN Alliance provides an overview of the next generation research group mission, ecosystem, & research streams.

nGRG: An O-RAN Alliance, Next Generation Research Group

Mission – Engage academia more broadly in addition to industry partners in future networking research. Achieve O-RAN sustainability from 4G/5G to 6G . Unified 6G technology path and timeline in the industry to avoid incompatibility b/w O-RAN and other SDOs.


Partnership – The nGRG group will work in a partnership approach, where Academia and Industry will be jointly researching and publishing Research Reports covering various research streams within the nGRG group.

Key Activities -Under the oversight of O-RAN TSC define, O-RAN 6G research agenda and key priorities. Establish research/study items based on defined research priorities, and form research streams to conduct the studies and report the outcomes in technical reports. Publish white papers and technical reports based on the outcomes of the studies in the Group.
