1 Report ITU-R (11/2017) Minimum requirements related to technical performance for IMT-2020 radio interface(s) M series Mobile, radiodetermination, amateur and related satellite services ii Rep. ITU-R Foreword The role of the Radiocommunication Sector is to ensure the rational, equitable, efficient and economical use of the radio-frequency spectrum by all radiocommunication services, including satellite services, and carry out studies without limit of frequency range on the basis of which Recommendations are adopted.

2 The regulatory and policy functions of the Radiocommunication Sector are performed by world and Regional Radiocommunication Conferences and Radiocommunication Assemblies supported by Study Groups. Policy on Intellectual Property Right (IPR) ITU-R policy on IPR is described in the Common Patent Policy for ITU-T/ITU-R/ISO/IEC referenced in Annex 1 of Resolution ITU-R 1. Forms to be used for the submission of patent statements and licensing declarations by patent holders are available from where the Guidelines for Implementation of the Common Patent Policy for ITU-T/ITU-R/ISO/IEC and the ITU-R patent information database can also be found.

ITU-R 1 REPORT ITU-R Minimum requirements related to technical performance for IMT-2020 radio interface(s) (2017) 1 Introduction As defined in Resolution ITU-R 56-2, International Mobile Telecommunications-2020 (IMT-2020) systems are mobile systems that include new radio interface(s) which support the new capabilities of systems beyond IMT-2000 and IMT-Advanced.

5 In Recommendation ITU-R IMT Vision Framework and overall objectives of the future development of IMT for 2020 and beyond, the capabilities of IMT-2020 are identified, which aim to make IMT-2020 more flexible, reliable and secure than previous IMT when providing diverse services in the intended three usage scenarios , including enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC), and massive machine type communications (mMTC). 2 Scope and purpose This Report describes key requirements related to the Minimum technical performance of IMT-2020 candidate radio interface technologies.

6 It also provides the necessary background information about the individual requirements and the justification for the items and values chosen. Provision of such background information is needed for a broader understanding of the requirements . These key technical performance requirements are used in the development of Report ITU-R This Report is based on the ongoing development activities of external research and technology organizations. 3 related ITU-R documents Resolution ITU-R 56-2 Resolution ITU-R 65 Recommendation ITU-R Report ITU-R Report ITU-R Report ITU-R Report ITU-R 4 Minimum Technical Performance requirements As noted in Recommendation ITU-R , IMT-2020 is expected to provide far more enhanced capabilities than those described in Recommendation ITU-R , and these enhanced capabilities could be regarded as new capabilities of future IMT.

7 In addition, IMT-2020 can be considered from multiple perspectives, including the users, manufacturers, application developers, network operators, and service and content providers. Therefore, it is recognized that technologies for IMT-2020 can be applied in a variety of deployment scenarios and can support a range of environments, service capabilities, and technology options. 2 Rep. ITU-R The key Minimum technical performance requirements defined in this document are for the purpose of consistent definition, specification, and evaluation of the candidate IMT-2020 radio interface technologies (RITs)/Set of radio interface technologies (SRIT) in conjunction with the development of ITU-R Recommendations and Reports, such as the detailed specifications of IMT-2020.

8 The intent of these requirements is to ensure that IMT-2020 technologies are able to fulfil the objectives of IMT-2020 and to set a specific level of performance that each proposed RIT/SRIT needs to achieve in order to be considered by ITU-R for IMT-2020. These requirements are not intended to restrict the full range of capabilities or performance that candidate RITs/SRITs for IMT-2020 might achieve, nor are they intended to describe how the RITs/SRITs might perform in actual deployments under operating conditions that could be different from those presented in other ITU-R Recommendations and Reports on IMT-2020.

9 Further information on specific industry needs using the terrestrial component of IMT-2020 may be found in other ITU-R Reports on IMT-2020. requirements are to be evaluated according to the criteria defined in Report ITU-R and Report ITU-R for the development of IMT-2020. Recommendation ITU-R defines eight key Capabilities for IMT-2020 , which form a basis for the 13 technical performance requirements presented here. Recommendation ITU-R also recognizes that the key capabilities will have different relevance and applicability for the different usage scenarios addressed by IMT-2020.

10 Peak data rate Peak data rate is the maximum achievable data rate under ideal conditions (in bit/s), which is the received data bits assuming error-free conditions assignable to a single mobile station, when all assignable radio resources for the corresponding link direction are utilized ( excluding radio resources that are used for physical layer synchronization, reference signals or pilots, guard bands and guard times). Peak data rate is defined for a single mobile station. In a single band, it is related to the peak spectral efficiency in that band.
