IMT-2020 submission and evaluation process for Revision 3 of Recommendation ITU-R M.2150 (2024-2025 work)

​​By Circular Letter 5/LCCE/109​​, the Revision 3 of Recommendation ITU-R M.2150 “Detailed specifications of the terrestrial radio interfaces of International Mobile Telecommunications-2020 (IMT-2020)” and submission of new proposals for candidate radio interface technologies for the terrestrial components of the radio interface(s) for IMT-2020 and invitation to participate in their subsequent evaluation were announced.

​​​​​​​​This work is guided by Resoluti​on ITU-R 65 (see Annex 1).

Resolution ITU-R 65 on the “Principles for the process of future development of IMT for 2020 and beyond” outlines the essential criteria and principles which will be used in the process of developing the Recommendations and Reports for IMT-2020, including Recommendation(s) for the radio interface specification.​​​

During the years 2024/25, further radio interface technologies (RIT) candidates have been evaluated, but no new RIT could be included. Enhanced capabilities for 3GPP 5G-SRIT, 3GPP 5G-RIT and ETSI DECT 5G-SRIT would be incorporated in revision 3 of Recommendation ITU-R M.2150.

Requirements, evaluation criteria and submission templates for the development of IMT-2020

Requirements related to technical performance for IMT-2020 radio interface(s)
  • Report ITU-R M.2410 - This Report describes key requirements related to the minimum technical performance of IMT-2020 candidate radio interface technologies. 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. This Report is based on the ongoing development activities of external research and technology organizations.
Requirements, evaluation criteria and submission templates for the development of IMT-2020
  • Report ITU-R M.2411 - This Report deals with on the requirements, evaluation criteria and submission templates for the development of Recommendations and Reports on IMT-2020, such as the detailed specifications of IMT 2020. It provides the service, spectrum and technical performance requirements for candidate Radio Interface Technologies (RITs)/Set of Radio Interface Technologies (SRITs) for IMT 2020.
Guidelines for evaluation of radio interface technologies for IMT-2020
  • Report ITU-R M.2412 - This Report provides guidelines for the procedure, the methodology and the criteria (technical, spectrum and service) to be used in evaluating the candidate IMT-2020 radio interface technologies (RITs) or Set of RITs (SRITs) for a number of test environments. These test environments are chosen to simulate closely the more stringent radio operating environments. The evaluation procedure is designed in such a way that the overall performance of the candidate RITs/SRITs may be fairly and equally assessed on a technical basis. It ensures that the overall IMT 2020 objectives are met.​
