The NGMN members, which include operators, vendors and research Institutes, have agreed on four areas of work: Business Principles (business models, operator capabilities, vertical industry services), requirements and architecture (technical requirements, architecture guidelines, SDO input), spectrum (spectrum position for WRC-15, 5G spectrum requirements and evaluation) and intellectual property (standards essential patent declaration and assessment, 5G patent pool).
A team of NGNM members has been set up for each area in order to develop the 5G requirements and design principles, analyze potential 5G solutions and assess future use-cases and business models. The outcome of the work will be shared and discussed with all relevant industry-organisations, SDOs and research groups.
