ETSI/DECT-2020 Component RIT Technology Implementation and Evaluation Contributions in mMTC and URLLC Use Cases

We propose a comprehensive evaluation of ETSI/DECT-2020 New Radio (NR) as an IMT-2020 candidate technology for the mMTC (connection density) and URLLC (reliability) use cases. Several independent evaluation groups assessed DECT-2020 NR performance against the IMT-2020 requirements and INRS played a key role within the Canadian Evaluation Group (CEG) in evaluating the technology via simulation. In order to develop 5G link- and system-level simulators, it is necessary to identify and understand all key characteristics of DECT technology. Nevertheless, the mMTC use case offers D2D communications, which made simulation analysis extremely cumbersome. In this paper, we also explain the different maneuvers in order to fasten the simulations and reduce complexity while respecting all DECT specifications. Simulation results provided from link- and system-level simulations for both URLLC and mMTC use cases show that DECT-2020 component RIT meets the IMT-2020 requirements.
