| contents | The transition towards 6G presents unique challenges and opportunities in mobile networks design and standardization. Addressing these challenges requires a robust methodology for analyzing and selecting innovations that can be effectively translated into 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) contributions. This paper presents a systematic approach to bridging research and standardization, ensuring that cutting-edge advancements extend beyond academia and translate into concrete standardization efforts. The proposed methodology has been applied within the Italian RESTART framework to two ongoing research areas: Morphable Programmable Networks (MPNs) and Network Digital Twins (NDTs), both key enablers of next-generation networks. MPNs enhance dynamic adaptability and resource management, while NDTs enable real-time simulation, predictive analytics, and intelligent decision-making. Their integration into 3GPP Release 20 will be instrumental in shaping a flexible and future-proof mobile ecosystem. These innovations exemplify how research-driven solutions can align with 6G standardization objectives. By applying the proposed methodology, we aim to establish a systematic pathway for transitioning research into impactful 3GPP contributions, ultimately driving the evolution of next-generation networks. |
