Updated information on China’s IMT-2020 Submission
1 Introduction At its 29th meeting of ITU-R Working Party (WP) 5D, China submitted in Document 5D/838 the initial characteristics template of the candidate technology for the terrestrial components of IMT-2020. The initial characteristics template was based on 3GPP development, and includes the key characteristics description according to the progress in 3GPP at that time…. Read more
Huawei, Intel complete stand alone call in China’s 3rd-phase 5G R&D test as per China’s IMT-2020 promotion group
Huawei and Intel announced they have completed a standalone 5G call test based on 3GPP Release 15 spec for the third phase of China’s 5G technology R&D trials. The trial, organized by China’s IMT-2020 promotion group, was conducted at the group’s laboratory using a Huawei 5G base station and core network and Intel’s 3rd generation… Read more
ITU-R WP5D: Guidelines for evaluation of radio interface technologies for IMT-2020
ITU-R Working Party 5D: draft new Report ITU-R M.[IMT-2020.EVAL] “Guidelines for evaluation of radio interface technologies for IMT-2020” Backgrounder: Among other work items, the October 2017 ITU-R WP5D meeting discussed proposals to correct minor errors and insert editorial improvements in draft new Report ITU-R M.[IMT-2020.EVAL]. Proposals to introduce some corrections including range of working distance… Read more
IMT-2020 standardization activity roadmap from ITU-T
ITU-T Joint Coordination Activity for IMT2020 (JCA‑IMT2020) is starting a new project called the IMT-2020 standardization activity roadmap. It will be based on the information provided by ITU-T SGs and activities outside of ITU-T. It is available from the JCA-IMT2020 website. Editor’s Note: As we’ve noted many times in these techblog posts, ITU-R WP5D has… Read more
Schedule for Development of IMT-2020 “5G” Radio Interface Recommendations
Editor’s Note: While Verizon [1] and many other wireless network operators plan to roll out their “5G” services between 2018 and 2020, that will be in ADVANCE OF THE ITU-R IMT 2020 “5G” standard. We believe these “5G” roll-outs are extremely negative for the REAL market for standardized “5G,” which won’t begin till 2021 at… Read more

ITU-R WP 5D Timeline for submission, evaluation process & consensus building for IMT-2030 (6G) RITs/SRITs
The ITU-R WP 5D schedule described below applies to the first invitation for IMT 2030 candidate RITs [1] or SRITs [2] [1] RIT =Radio Interface Technology [2] SRITs =Set of RITs. That terminology was used for IMT 2020 and the IMT 2150 recommendation Submission of proposals may begin at 54th meeting of Working Party (WP) 5D,… Read more
ITU-R WP5D IMT 2030 Submission & Evaluation Guidelines vs 6G specs in 3GPP Release 20 & 21
Like previous generations of international mobile telecommunications (IMT) recommendations, ITU-R defines the 6G terrestrial radio access network requirements while 3GPP develops the standardized technology specifications that will be the project’s candidate to the ITU-R process. The target date for “Technology proposals for IMT-2030 RIT/SRITs” has been defined by ITU-R to be early 2029, and resulting… Read more
ITU-R: IMT-2030 (6G) Backgrounder and Envisioned Capabilities
ITU-R vs 3GPP – 5G and 6G Standards and Specifications: For new IEEE Techblog readers, ITU-R is responsible for radio interfaces with WP 5D making the ITU-R recommendations (standards) for IMT Radio Interface Technologies (RITs) and Set of Radio Interface Technologies (SRITs). For 5G, it was called IMT 2020 (M.2150 recommendation) and for 6G, it’s… Read more
