  The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) submitted the 5G New Radio (NR)
system specifications to International Telecommunication Union (ITU) as a
candidate fifth generation (5G) mobile communication system (formally denoted
as IMT-2020 systems). As part of the submission, 3GPP provided a
self-evaluation for the compliance of 5G NR systems with the ITU defined
IMT-2020 performance requirements. This paper considers the defined 5G use case
families, Ultra Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC), massive Machine
Type Communication (mMTC) and enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), and provides an
independent evaluation of the compliance of the 3GPP 5G NR self-evaluation
simulations with the IMT-2020 performance requirements for connection density,
reliability, and spectral efficiency for future mobile broadband and emerging
IoT applications. Independent evaluation indeed shows the compliance of the
3GPP 5G NR system with the ITU IMT-2020 performance requirements for all
parameters evaluated by simulations.
