The EMPOWER project, since its launch in November 2018, has been following closely all developments around 5G and its evolution in the short, medium and long terms. This is with the aim to develop a comprehensive advanced wireless technology roadmap synthesizing all the views from all the stakeholder R&D communities. This update of the trends in wireless technologies, WP2 deliverable D2.3, is following up the first trend report from 2019, D2.1. It also captures the feedback from the

The following summarizes the key topics presented in this deliverable: 1) Identification of key stakeholders in the wireless R&D communities, in Europe, the USA, in Asia, and globally, covering various forums, alliances, and organizations that have been followed by the EMPOWER roadmap team to capture and analyse the trends. 2) Targeted KPIs for the evolution of 5G in the short, medium and long terms, based on the consultation of the first EMPOWER wireless technology roadmap. 3) B5G wireless technology trends captured from the studies around the next batch of future wireless standard releases in 3GPP (e.g. Release 17 and Release 18), and in IEEE (evolution of IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.15). 4) Longer term B5G/6G wireless technology trends captured from the scientific visions around 6G, which are deemed more disruptive and less mature for consideration in the forthcoming wireless standards. 5) Wireless spectrum trends for 5G and B5G including trends for unlicensed spectrum, dedicated spectrum for verticals, spectrum sharing, and very high frequencies (up to THz).
