2015-06-19 13:29:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The ITU has established the overall roadmap for the development of 5G mobile and defined the term it will apply to it as "IMT-2020". With the finalization of its work at a meeting of the ITU-R Working Party 5D in San Diego, the ITU has now defined the overall goals, process and timeline for the development of 5G mobile systems. The meeting agreed that the work should be conducted under the name of IMT-2020, as an extension of the ITU's existing family of global standards for International Mobile Telecommunication systems (IMT-2000 and IMT-Advanced) which serve as the basis for 3G and 4G mobile systems. The next step is to establish detailed technical performance requirements for the radio systems to support 5G, taking into account the needs of a wide portfolio of future scenarios and use cases, and then to specify the evaluation criteria for assessment of candidate radio interface technologies to join the IMT-2020 family. These new systems are expected set to become available in 2020. The ITU-R Radiocommunication Assembly, which will meet in October, is expected to formally adopt the term "IMT-2020".
