In plain words
The TR 21.905 glossary entry expands eMBB as Enhanced MBB, giving the term’s meaning as an expansion rather than a further technical definition. In TS 28.554, "Energy efficiency of eMBB network slice" identifies the network-slice context in which eMBB appears. There, eMBB names the slice type whose energy efficiency the clause covers.

How this page was made
The facts box comes straight from the 3GPP TDoc list and specification archive as indexed by 3GPP Scout. An AI model (GPT-6 Luna) wrote the paragraph and named the source of each sentence. Code checked every quote word for word against the stored source text and every number against the cited source. A second AI model from another company (Claude Opus 5.5) reviewed the paragraph against the same sources. The 3GPP documents themselves govern.
