4 Introduction
This report presents the self evaluation results of 5G developed by 3GPP, which includes two submissions:
- Submission 1: SRIT. It consists of two component RITs
- Component RIT 1: NR
- Component RIT 2: E-UTRA/LTE (including LTE-NR DC)
- Submission 2: NR RIT.
- It is the same as in NR component RIT in submission 1.
From evaluation perspective, NR RIT and LTE RIT are evaluated against the technical performance requirements as
defined in Report ITU-R M.2410 for eMBB, mMTC and URLLC usage scenarios, as well as spectrum requirements
and service requirements as defined in Report ITU-R M.2411, using the evaluation criteria as defined by Report ITU-R
M.2412. Detailed self evaluation results are provided through Section 5 to 8.
The conclusion is given in Section 9 for SRIT and NR RIT.

Developed by 3GPP as 5G, Release 15 and beyond.

5 Self evaluation of eMBB technical performance
In the following, frequency ranges indicated by FR1 and FR2 are evaluated. The definition are given in Table 5-1 (see
also [2] and [3]).

5.1 Peak spectral efficiency
As defined in Report ITU-R M.2410 [4], Peak spectral efficiency is the maximum data rate under ideal conditions
normalized by channel bandwidth (in bit/s/Hz), where the maximum data rate is the received data bits assuming error-
free conditions assignable to a single mobile station, when all assignable radio resources for the corresponding link
direction are utilized (i.e. excluding radio resources that are used for physical layer synchronization, reference signals or
pilots, guard bands and guard times).

- OH is the overhead calculated as the average ratio of the number of REs occupied by L1/L2 control,
Synchronization Signal, PBCH, reference signals and guard period (for TDD), etc. with respect to the total
()jj() μ
number of REs in effective bandwidth time product as given by α⋅⋅BW (14×T ) .

- α is the normalized scalar considering the downlink/uplink ratio; for FDD α =1 for DL and UL; and for
(j)
TDD and other duplexing α for DL and UL is calculated based on the DL/UL configuration.
- For guard period (GP), 50% of GP symbols are considered as downlink overhead, and 50% of GP
symbols are considered as uplink overhead.
5.1.1.1 DL peak spectral efficiency
A range of configurations are considered in the evaluation of downlink peak spectral efficiency. The evaluation
considers the maximum potential capability as indicated in TS 38.214 [9]. Note that the DL and UL max data rate
supported by the UE is indicated in TS38.306 [10].
