Extreme Mobile BroadBand (xMBB)
Provides very high data speeds and extreme coverage. xMBB is designed to offer a more consistent experience across the coverage area and limited performance degradation as the number of users increases. xMBB will also support reliable communications, e.g. National Security and Public Safety (NSPS).
Massive Machine-Type Communication (mMTC)
Provides wireless connectivity for tens of billions of very simple, network-enabled devices. Scalable connectivity designed for an increasing number of devices, an efficient transmission of small payloads, coverage of large areas and deep penetration: these are the key elements that take precedence over data speeds alone.
Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (uRLLC)
Provides ultra-reliable communication links and low latency for network services with extreme availability, latency and reliability requirements, e.g. V2X communication and industrial manufacturing applications. Reliability and low latency take priority over data speeds.
