3GPP Meetings

Overview

3GPP Technical Specification Groups (TSGs) hold quarterly plenary meetings where their Working Groups present work for information, discussion, and approval. The three TSGs (RAN, SA, CT) meet synchronously over a one-week period.

Meeting Schedule

Plenary Period: March, June, September, December each year

Working Groups meet before their TSG plenary meetings to make progress on specifications and studies that will be approved at the TSG level.

Recent History:

• Virtual meetings from early 2020 until June 2022 (due to COVID-19)
• Return to face-to-face meetings in June 2022
• Moving to hybrid format (F2F or virtual) since 2022
• Current approach: mix of F2F and virtual meetings
