Beyond 5G/6G KPI Measurement

This white paper is the continuation of the 5G-PPP TMV Working Group white paper entitled «Beyond 5G/6G KPIs and Target Values». The latter provided an early analysis of possible Beyond 5G/6G KPIs based on current work and perspectives from ICT-52 projects, seeking to understand the level to which existing definitions in standard documents will apply to 6G and to identify, at early stages, gaps and new candidate KPIs for being standardized for 6G systems. The intention of this white paper is to provide an analysis of the nature of the beyond 5G/6G KPIs identified in the previous white paper, by further elaborating on the feasibility of these KPIs to be measured, on the methods and tools to be used for their evaluation, and on identifying challenges encountered, gaps identified and research steps to be followed on the measurement and evaluation methodologies to be used in the 6G era.
