25.2023GPP7.68 Mcps Time Division Duplex (TDD) optionOverall description: Stage 2Release 17TS

– The 7.68Mcps TDD option shall provide significant enhancements in terms of user experience (throughput and delay) and/or capacity (at least to the extent shown in [1]).

– Full mobility shall be supported, i.e., mobility should be supported for high-speed UE cases also, but optimisation should be for low-speed to medium-speed scenarios.

– It is highly desirable for the 7.68Mcps TDD option to maintain commonality with the 3.84Mcps TDD option. New features shall therefore provide significant incremental gain for an acceptable complexity.

– The UE and network complexity shall be minimised for a given level of system performance.

– The impact on current releases in terms of both protocol and hardware perspectives shall be taken into account.
