Industry Perspective

Abstract

With an increasing demand for new generation mobile networks, ITU Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) has set forth key technical performance requirements for the development of the IMT-2020 system, also known as the fifth generation (5G) system [1], and has started to invite submissions of candidate radio interface technologies for IMT2020 [2]. To ensure that IMT-2020's requirements can be met, the submitted candidate radio interface technologies will be evaluated by independent evaluation groups under the evaluation guidelines of Report ITU-R M.EIMT-2020. EVAL1 [3], where system -level simulation is employed as the major tool for the performance evaluation of various application scenarios.
