The NTIA is looking into ways to speed up development and interoperability of the open 5G stack ecosystem to support U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) missions. It issued a notice Monday seeking input for a 5G Challenge to do so, citing traction toward the use of open interfaces in the 5G protocol stack. The Notice of Inquiry (NOI) from January 11 covers three broad categories, including questions on how to structure the challenge and goals, incentives and scope, and timeframe and infrastructure.
The focus is on 5G protocol stack software, but a 5G Challenge would look at open source applied across a 5G system including end-user equipment, radio access network (RAN) and core network.NTIA says it wants the challenge to maximize benefits for both the open 5G stack stakeholders and the DoD on an accelerated timeline. One question asks how to format the challenge to ensure it focuses on the greatest barriers to maturity of an end-to-end open what is computer engineering stack.
The NOI notes that the community is diverse, with different open source implementations among a variety of groups sometimes focused on separate portions of the 5G stack.
