International Mobile Telecommunications-2020 (IMT-2020 Standard) are the requirements issued by the ITU Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in 2015 for 5G networks, devices and services.
[1] On February 1, 2021, the standard was published as Recommendation ITU-R M.2150-0 titled Detailed specifications of the radio interfaces of IMT-2020,[2] but most of it was finalized years earlier.
[3] For example the requirements for radio access technologies listed below were adopted in November 2017.
The following parameters are the requirements for IMT-2020 5G candidate radio access technologies.
[6] Note that these requirements are not intended to restrict the full range of capabilities or performance that candidate for IMT-2020 might achieve, nor are they intended to describe how the technologies might perform in actual deployments.
