ITU-R WP 5D progresses reports on: IMT-2030 (“6G”) Minimum Technology Performance Requirements; Evaluation Criteria & Methodology

At its ITU-R WP5D February 2025 meeting, a large number of ITU-R WP 5D contributions were discussed on the development of a draft document titled, “Minimum technical performance requirements (TPRs) for IMT‑2030 (“6G”) radio interface(s) [IMT-2030.TECH PERF REQ].”

This Report describes key requirements related to the minimum technical performance of IMT-2030 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.  After discussion of the contributions, a preliminary list of minimum TPRs is created, and the working document is updated. In total eleven sessions were used including three Drafting Groups to address requirements related to artificial intelligence, energy efficiency and joint requirements.  This Report is based on the ongoing development activities of external research and technology organizations.  These key technical performance requirements are used in the development of Report IMT-2030.EVAL.

This WP5D meeting discussed contributions on “Evaluation criteria and methodology for IMT-2030″ [IMT-2030.EVAL] and updated the working document. The discussion focused on a number of subjects including test environments, mapping between TPR and test environments, and a high-level view of TPR evaluation methodologies.
