MediaTek has published a white paper: 5G NR Power Saving Enhancements in Release 17: power consumption optimizations for devices in idle, inactive, and connected modes.
Abstract:
5G NR features in Release 17 include enhancements for user equipment (UE) power saving, uplink coverage, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), positioning, among others. Additionally, new 5G services and capabilities have been introduced in Release 17, such as multicast and broadcast services (MBS), reduced-capability (RedCap) devices, and non-terrestrial networks (NTN). Hence, Release 17 becomes the baseline for the upcoming Release 18 5G technologies, dubbed 5G-Advanced.
