The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) submitted the 5G New Radio (NR) system specifications to International Telecommunication Union (ITU) as a candidate fifth generation (5G) mobile communication system (formally denoted as IMT-2020 systems). As part of the submission, 3GPP provided a self-evaluation for the compliance of 5G NR systems with the ITU defined IMT-2020 performance requirements. This paper considers the defined 5G use case families, Ultra Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC), massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) and enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), and provides an independent evaluation of the compliance of the 3GPP 5G NR selfevaluation simulations with the IMT-2020 performance requirements for connection density, reliability, and spectral efficiency for future mobile broadband and emerging IoT applications. Independent evaluation indeed shows the compliance of the 3GPP 5G NR system with the ITU IMT-2020 performance requirements for all parameters evaluated by simulations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
