5g 3gpp nr specification radio

This page provides a 5G NR 3GPP specification matrix, outlining the key 3GPP documents used in the development of 5G NR-based User Equipment (UEs) and Base Stations.

Introduction

There are two main versions of 5G: 5G NR (New Radio) and 5G TF (Verizon Technical Forum).
