Summary

Supplement 16 to the ITU-T K-series Recommendations provides guidance on the radio frequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) compliance assessment considerations for the International Mobile Telecommunication system (IMT-2020) wireless networks also known as the fifth Generation of wireless networks (5G). Given that the 5G technical standards have just been finalized and commercial 5G networks are not due to be launched before 2019-2020, the first version of this Supplement is to mainly address the computational assessment options and the assessments of trial networks.
