5G Broadcast: CRITS participation in the standardization activities of 3GPP

Assunta De Vita

During the last meeting of the RAN4 (Radio Access Network – Radio Performance and Protocol Aspects) Working Group of the 3GPP which took place in Athens, the Rai Centre for Research, Technological Innovation and Experimentation (CRITS), represented by Assunta De Vita (as EBU delegate), participated in the work that led to the conclusion of the standardization activity of the 5G Broadcast technology.

 

Now all the essential elements of 5G Broadcast are part of the 3GPP standards: further features and improvements are still being studied and will be proposed for the introduction of future releases of the standard, but with this Release 18 the standard is ready for the broadcasting of TV services towards mobile phones.

Sound Sensation. Music Without Barriers. When Deafness Turns into Sound

Carmen Marino - Mauro Rossini

From classical music to folk rock, from dance to Latin dances, through performances of ‘musical’ live painting: sounds, movements, and gestures capable of challenging and overcoming deafness. Because it is deafness that unites artists with cochlear implants from Italy, Austria, Finland, Germany, and Portugal who – on Sunday, March 3rd at 5:30 PM, at the Rai Auditorium ‘Arturo Toscanini’ in Turin, was livestreamed on RaiPlay – will bring to life “Sound Sensation. Music Without Barriers”.
