Report ITU-R M.2134 – Requirements related to technical performance for IMT-Advanced
                        radio interface(s)

The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly,
                        considering

a)     that ITU has contributed to standardization and harmonized use of IMT, which has provided
                telecommunication services on a global scale;

b)     that technological advancement and the corresponding user needs will promote innovation and
                accelerate the delivery of advanced communication applications to consumers;

c)     that Question ITU-R 229/5 addresses further development of the terrestrial component of IMT
                and the relevant studies under this Question are in progress within ITU-R;

d)     that Recommendation ITU-R M.1645 defines the framework and overall objectives of the future
                development of IMT-2000 and systems beyond IMT-2000;

e)     that for global operation and economies of scale, which are key requirements for the success of
                mobile telecommunication systems, it  is  desirable to establish a harmonized  timeframe for  future
                development of IMT considering technical, operational and spectrum related aspects;
                f)     that wireless communication applications are expected to expand into new market segments to
                facilitate the digital economy, e.g. smart grid, e-health, intelligent transport systems and traffic control,
                which would bring requirements beyond what can be addressed in today’s IMT application areas;
                g)     that rapid uptake of smartphones, tablets and innovative mobile applications created by users
                has resulted in a tremendous increase in the volume of mobile data traffic;
                h)     that the number of devices accessing the network are expected to increase due to the emerging
                applications of Internet of Things (IoT);
                i)     that technologies such as beamforming, massive-Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) are
                easier to implement in higher frequencies due to short wavelength;
                j)     that wide  contiguous bandwidth would  enhance data delivery efficiency and ease the
                complexity of hardware implementation;
                k)     that the cell size is being reduced (e.g. the order of some tens of metres) to provide larger area
                traffic capacity in dense areas;
                l)     that IMT interworks with other radio systems,

recognizing
                a)     that some administrations had deployed IMT-Advanced systems before global deployment due
                to the rapid increase of data traffic;
                b)     that development of  new radio interfaces that support the new capabilities of IMT-2020 is
                expected along with the enhancement of IMT-2000 and IMT-Advanced systems,

noting
                that pursuant to Article 44 of the ITU Constitution, Member States shall endeavour to apply the latest
                technical advances as soon as possible,
