Tactical Mapping: 3GPP Release 17 (6G Preparation)

This document provides the Tactical Realization of ITU Recommendations for 3GPP Rel-17 networks, preparing the groundwork for 6G (IMT-2030).

🏗️ 6G Evolutionary Features

  • ITU Rec: M.2160 (Framework for IMT-2030)
  • 3GPP Implementation: TS 23.501 (6G/Rel-17 Enhancements) & TS 33.501.
  • Key Tactical Features:
    • AKMA (Authentication and Key Management for Applications): Realizes itu-t X.1038 SDN security for application-level authentication.
    • NWDAF (Network Data Analytics Function): Realizes itu-t X.1147 AI-Security requirements for predictive threat mitigation.
    • Sidelink Security: Realizes itu-t Y.3100 Series 6G requirements for device-to-device (D2D) trust models.

📡 Next-Gen Interfaces

  • ITU Rec: X.1400 (Security of DLT)
  • Implementation: DLT-based Roaming Settlements.
  • Tactical Focus: Removing the centralized IPX clearinghouse in favor of decentralized ledger security.

!IMPORTANTForward Compatibility: When implementing Rel-17, ensure that the SMF (Session Management Function) is configured with PQC-Ready key update intervals to meet IMT-2030 compliance.
