Compliance template for 3GPP 5G NTN SRIT (Release 17 and beyond)

The compliance templates provided by 3GPP are for the assessment of the compliance of 5G satellite access developed by 3GPP[1]. It includes one compliance template for SRIT, encompassing component RITs for NR NTN (NR satellite access) and IoT NTN (consisting of NB-IoT satellite access and eMTC satellite access), and one compliance template for NR NTN (NR satellite access) RIT.

This document provides the compliance template for the SRIT based on 3GPP Rel-17 work.

Compliance template for services

Service-related minimum capabilities within
the satellite radio interface(s)

Evaluator’s comments

Support of a wide range of services

Does the proposal support a wide range of services? YES

The 5G NTN SRIT can support eMBB-s, HRC-s, and mMTC-s usage scenarios.

The assessment of service requirement follows the evaluation method as defined in Section 8.2 in Report ITU-R M.2514.

Compliance template for spectrum

Spectrum capability requirements

Evaluator’s comments

Spectrum bands

Is the proposal able to utilize at least one band identified for IMT? YES

Specify in which band(s) the candidate satellite radio interface(s) can be deployed

The supported frequency bands are provided in item 8.2.5.1.8.3 in the characteristics template.

Compliance template for technical performance

NOTE : The following values are derived based on the employed evaluation configurations. Higher performance might be achieved by using other evaluation configurations.

See self evaluation report for detailed analysis, results and specific assumptions (e.g. Frequency reuse factor, antenna configurations, etc.).
