International Mobile Telecommunications-2020 (IMT-2020 Standard) are the requirements issued by the
ITU Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) of the
International Telecommunication Union
The International Telecommunication Union is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for many matters related to information and communication technologies. It was established on 17 May 1865 as the International Telegraph Unio ...
(ITU) in 2015 for
5G networks, devices and services.
On February 1st, 2021, the standard was published as Recommendation ITU-R M.2150-0 titled ''Detailed specifications of the radio interfaces of IMT-2020'', but most of it was finalized years earlier. For example the requirements for
radio access technologies listed below were adopted in November 2017. Following the publication of the requirements the developers of radio access technologies such as
3GPP and
ETSI
The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) is an independent, not-for-profit, standardization organization in the field of information and communications. ETSI supports the development and testing of global technical standard ...
are expected to develop 5G technologies meeting these requirements. 3GPP is developing radio access technologies
5G NR
5G NR (New Radio) is a new radio access technology (RAT) developed by 3GPP for the 5G (fifth generation) mobile network. It was designed to be the global standard for the air interface of 5G networks. As with 4G (LTE), it is based on OFDM.

Narrowband Internet of things (NB-IoT) is a low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) radio technology standard developed by 3GPP for cellular devices and services. The specification was frozen in 3GPP Release 13 (LTE Advanced Pro), in June 2016. Othe ...
that together are expected to meet all requirements, while ETSI is developing
DECT-2020 NR and Nufront is developing
EUHT (Enhanced Ultra High Throughput).
Requirements
The following parameters are the requirements for IMT-2020 5G candidate
radio access technologies.
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.
