TS 22.261
Service requirements for the 5G system
AI Summary
Relevance 88Grounded in the official 3GPP Scope excerpt
TS 22.261 Rel-20 defines service and operational requirements for the end-to-end 5G system, encompassing the UE, NG-RAN, and 5G Core network. Requirements specific to 5G E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity operating under E-UTRAN connected to EPC are explicitly out of scope and handled in TS 22.278. A RAN or core engineer would open this specification when establishing the baseline service-level requirements that constrain system design — for example, when validating that a proposed architecture or feature meets the mandated operational requirements for the 5G system. It serves as the upstream requirements reference before translating those requirements into protocol or architectural specifications elsewhere in the 3GPP series.
