IMT-2020 performance requirements for 5G
The carrier bandwidth can be divided into differently sized carrier bandwidth parts (BWP) to allow different QoS on the radio interface.
Each BWP is related to a fixed 5G NR numerology that differs in three major parameters:
❙ Subcarrier spacing
❙ Symbol duration
❙ Cyclic prefix (CP) length
The subcarrier spacing of 2µ × 15 kHz ensures time alignment across various numerologies.
❙ Ultra-reliable and low latency communications (URLLC): user plane latency of 1 ms
❙ Massive machine type communications (mMTC): connection density of 1 000 000 devices/km²
❙ Enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) data rate:
