3GPP extensively used the eMBB use case with Machine Type Communication (mMTC) and Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC) to determine what type of functionality 5G NR is needed.
As its name suggests, eMBB reflects the growth in mobile broadband use cases supported by the 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard.
eMBB use cases
– including improved automobile infotainment.
– improved Wi-Fi services.
– mobile high-definition video streaming.
– 3D multi-player games.
– all enabled by 5G NR's faster data transmission speeds.
– lower latency.
– greater capacity and other performance improvements.
– High data rate and high traffic volume.
