3. IMT-2020 : Important Outcome During WRC-2015
Revision of Resolution ITU R Naming for International Mobile Telecommunications (added the new name of IMT-2020)
New Resolution ITU-R 65 - Principles for process of future development of IMT for 2020 and beyond
New Resolution ITU-R 66 - Studies related to wireless systems and applications for the development of the Internet of Things
Revision of Resolution ITU-R Role of the ITU-R Sector in the ongoing development of IMT
Recommendation ITU-R M Framework and overall objectives of the future development of IMT for 2020 and beyond (i.e., the Vision Document)
Report ITU-R M IMT Traffic estimates beyond year 2020
Report ITU-R M Interactive unicast and multicast audio-visual capabilities and applications provided over terrestrial IMT systems
Report ITU-R M The technical feasibility of IMT in the bands above 6 GHz
Report ITU-R M Architecture and topology of IMT networks

4. IMT-2020 : Bands Above 6 GHz Towards WRC-19
Agenda Item 1.13
The studies and decisions by WRC-19 are limited to the bands above 24 GHz
Already allocated to the Mobile Service in the Table of Allocations:
GHz, GHz, GHz, GHz, GHz, GHz, GHz and GHz
Would require a new allocation to the Mobile Service in the Table of Allocations:
GHz, GHz, GHz and GHz
Not all of these bands and/or not complete bands might be identified for IMT by WRC-19
A new ITU group TG 5/1 has been established to study coexistence of IMT-2020 with existing services
Availability of bands above 6 GHz offering wide channel sizes are critically important to IMT-2020
Even though not part of Agenda Item 1.13, some countries are proceeding with other bands
US GHz, Korea GHz, Brazil, Sweden, etc.

5. Key Considerations : 5G Spectrum
Peak Data Rates
Latency
Mobility
Spectrum Efficiency
Energy Efficiency
User Density
Network Capacity
Reliability
User Type

6. Study Frequency Ranges for 5G
Higher and lower frequencies are both needed to meet all multiple 5G use cases
Low frequencies
Full area coverage allowing cost effective delivery of mobile services
Bandwidths considerably wider (in the order of 100s of MHz) than those of today, providing a combination of capacity and coverage
New bands below 6GHz should be made available for 5G
High frequencies
• Needed for applications requiring very high data rates
• Will accommodate wider channel bandwidths (e.g. in the order of GHz per MNO)
• Propagation characteristics may facilitate sharing with existing services

China MHz for 5G trial; consultation on , MHz and , GHz for 5G
Japan , MHz and 28 GHz for 5G trial (for commercial service in 2020 Summer Olympic)
Korea MHz and GHz (for 2018 Winter Olympic 5G trial)
EU , 700 MHz and GHz as 5G pioneer bands; working on and GHz
USA , & GHz; and the 600 MHz
Note: this is not an exhaustive list; some other countries defined their own plans

12. India Spectrum Status : 4G and 5G
4G Spectrum
700 MHz (Band 28) : Yet to be auctioned
850 MHz (Band 5) :
Originally assigned for CDMA MHz carrier)
RJIO deployed 4G post harmonization in 2016
1800 MHz (Band 3) :
Originally assigned for GSM kHz carrier)
Nearly all operators deploying 4G post harmonization in 2016
2300 MHz (Band 40) :
Auctioned in 2010
Used for 4G by RJIO and Airtel
2500 MHz (Band 41) :
Auctioned in 2016
Idea and Vodafone to deploy 4G
