# Third Generation Partnership Project ## Release 14 Used in V2V scenarios, also called C-V2X. Proximity Services (ProSe). The first trials were in 2017 (see references) Based on SC-FDMA Use Release 14 for LTE-V2X and Release 16 for 5G ## Release 16 ## Release 17 TSG#95-e (March 2022) saw the completion of the Rel-17 functional freeze. Some important Rel-17 projects were: - Sidelink enhancements, - Reduced capability (Redap) NR devices, - NR operation extended to 71GHz, - Further enhancements on MIMO for NR, - NR over Non terrestrial Networks (NTN), - IoT over NTN, - UE power saving enhancements for NR, - Enhancements to Integrated Access and Backhaul for NR, - Enhancement of RAN slicing for NR, - RF requirements enhancement for NR FR1, - RF requirements for NR FR2, - Coverage and positioning enhancements, - NR and slicing QoE, - Enhanced support of non-public networks, - Support for uncrewed aerial systems, - Support for edge computing in 5GC, - Proximity-based services in 5GS, - Access traffic steering, switch and splitting (ATSSS), - Network automation for 5G (Phase 2). 3GPP submit their standards to ETSI who then republish them.
