In the present document, modal verbs have the following meanings:

shall indicates a mandatory requirement to do something

shall not indicates an interdiction (prohibition) to do something

The constructions “shall” and “shall not” are confined to the context of normative provisions, and do not appear in Technical Reports.

The constructions “must” and “must not” are not used as substitutes for “shall” and “shall not”. Their use is avoided insofar as possible, and they are not used in a normative context except in a direct citation from an external, referenced, non-3GPP document, or so as to maintain continuity of style when extending or modifying the provisions of such a referenced document.

should indicates a recommendation to do something

should not indicates a recommendation not to do something

may indicates permission to do something

need not indicates permission not to do something

The construction “may not” is ambiguous and is not used in normative elements. The unambiguous constructions “might not” or “shall not” are used instead, depending upon the meaning intended.

can indicates that something is possible

cannot indicates that something is impossible

The constructions “can” and “cannot” are not substitutes for “may” and “need not”.

will indicates that something is certain or expected to happen as a result of action taken by an agency the behaviour of which is outside the scope of the present document

will not indicates that something is certain or expected not to happen as a result of action taken by an agency the behaviour of which is outside the scope of the present document

4 General

4.1 Relationship with other core specifications

The present document is a single-RAT specification for a BS, covering RF characteristics and minimum performance requirements. Conducted and radiated core requirements are defined for the BS architectures and BS types defined in clause 4.3.

The applicability of each requirement is described in clause 5.

4.2 Relationship between minimum requirements and test requirements

Conformance to the present specification is demonstrated by fulfilling the test requirements specified in the conformance specification TS 38.141-1 [5] and TS 38.141-2 [6].

The minimum requirements given in this specification make no allowance for measurement uncertainty. The test specifications TS 38.141-1 [5] and TS 38.141-2 [6] define test tolerances. These test tolerances are individually calculated for each test. The test tolerances are used to relax the minimum requirements in this specification to create test requirements. For some requirements, including regulatory requirements, the test tolerance is set to zero.

The measurement results returned by the test system are compared - without any modification - against the test requirements as defined by the shared risk principle.

The shared risk principle is defined in recommendation ITU-R M.1545 [7].

4.3 Conducted and radiated requirement reference points

4.3.1 BS type 1-C

For BS type 1-C , the requirements are applied at the BS antenna connector (port A) for a single transmitter or receiver with a full complement of transceivers for the configuration in normal operating conditions. If any external apparatus such as an amplifier, a filter or the combination of such devices is used, requirements apply at the far end antenna connector (port B).

4.3.2 BS type 1-H

For BS type 1-H , the requirements are defined for two points of reference, signified by radiated requirements and conducted requirements.

Image

Figure 4.3.2-1: Radiated and conducted reference points for BS type 1-H

Radiated characteristics are defined over the air (OTA), where the operating band specific radiated interface is referred to as the Radiated Interface Boundary (RIB). Radiated requirements are also referred to as OTA requirements. The (spatial) characteristics in which the OTA requirements apply are detailed for each requirement.

Conducted characteristics are defined at individual or groups of TAB connectors at the transceiver array boundary , which is the conducted interface between the transceiver unit array and the composite antenna.

The transceiver unit array is part of the composite transceiver functionality generating modulated transmit signal structures and performing receiver combining and demodulation.

The transceiver unit array contains an implementation specific number of transmitter units and an implementation specific number of receiver units. Transmitter units and receiver units may be combined into transceiver units. The transmitter/receiver units have the ability to transmit/receive parallel independent modulated symbol streams.

The composite antenna contains a radio distribution network (RDN) and an antenna array. The RDN is a linear passive network which distributes the RF power generated by the transceiver unit array to the antenna array, and/or distributes the radio signals collected by the antenna array to the transceiver unit array, in an implementation specific way.

How a conducted requirement is applied to the transceiver array boundary is detailed in the respective requirement clause.

4.3.3 BS type 1-O and BS type 2-O

For BS type 1-O and BS type 2-O , the radiated characteristics are defined over the air (OTA), where the operating band specific radiated interface is referred to as the Radiated Interface Boundary (RIB). Radiated requirements are also referred to as OTA requirements. The (spatial) characteristics in which the OTA requirements apply are detailed for each requirement.

Image

Figure 4.3.3-1: Radiated reference points for BS type 1-O and BS type 2-O

Co-location requirements are specified at the conducted interface of the co-location reference antenna , the c o-location reference antenna does not form part of the BS under test but is a means to provide OTA power levels which are representative of a co-located system, further defined in clause 4.9.

For a BS type 1-O the transceiver unit array must contain at least 8 transmitter units and at least 8 receiver units. Transmitter units and receiver units may be combined into transceiver units. The transmitter/receiver units have the ability to transmit/receive parallel independent modulated symbol streams.

4.4 Base station classes

The requirements in this specification apply to Wide Area Base Stations, Medium Range Base Stations and Local Area Base Stations unless otherwise stated. The associated deployment scenarios for each class are exactly the same for BS with and without connectors.

For BS type 1-O and 2-O, BS classes are defined as indicated below:

  • Wide Area Base Stations are characterised by requirements derived from Macro Cell scenarios with a BS to UE minimum distance along the ground equal to 35 m.

  • Medium Range Base Stations are characterised by requirements derived from Micro Cell scenarios with a BS to UE minimum distance along the ground equal to 5 m.

  • Local Area Base Stations are characterised by requirements derived from Pico Cell scenarios with a BS to UE minimum distance along the ground equal to 2 m.

NOTE: For BS type 2-O , Local Area Base stations are applicable also in Femto Cell scenarios.

For BS type 1-C and 1-H, BS classes are defined as indicated below:

  • Wide Area Base Stations are characterised by requirements derived from Macro Cell scenarios with a BS to UE minimum coupling loss equal to 70 dB.

  • Medium Range Base Stations are characterised by requirements derived from Micro Cell scenarios with a BS to UE minimum coupling loss equals to 53 dB.

  • Local Area Base Stations are characterised by requirements derived from Pico Cell scenarios with a BS to UE minimum coupling loss equal to 45 dB.

NOTE: Local Are Base stations are applicable also in Femto Cell scenarios.

For BS type 1-C, 1-H and 1-O, HAPS BS class is defined as indicated below:

  • HAPS Base Stations are characterised by requirements derived from High Altitude Platform scenarios with a BS to ground UE minimum distance of typically around 20km.

  • Unless otherwise stated, HAPS BS class would refer to Wide Area BS class, which is specified in clause 4.4.

For ATG BS type 1-C , 1-H and 1-O , ATG BS class is defined as below:

  • ATG Base Stations are characterized by requirements derived from ATG scenarios with a ground BS to air UE with typical vertical altitude of around 10,000m and take-off/landing altitudes down to 3000m.

  • Unless otherwise stated, ATG BS class would refer to Wide Area BS class, which is specified in clause 4.4.

4.7 Requirements for contiguous and non-contiguous spectrum

A spectrum allocation where a BS operates can either be contiguous or non-contiguous. Unless otherwise stated, the requirements in the present specification apply for BS configured for both contiguous spectrum operation and non-contiguous spectrum operation.

For BS operation in non-contiguous spectrum , some requirements apply both at the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges and inside the sub-block gaps . For each such requirement, it is stated how the limits apply relative to the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges and the sub-block edges respectively.

4.8 Requirements for BS capable of multi-band operation

For multi-band connector or multi-band RIB , the RF requirements in clause 6, 7, 9 and 10 apply separately to each supported operating band unless otherwise stated. For some requirements, it is explicitly stated that specific additions or exclusions to the requirement apply at multi-band connector(s) , and multi-band RIB(s) as detailed in the requirement clause. For BS capable of multi-band operation, various structures in terms of combinations of different transmitter and receiver implementations (multi-band or single band) with mapping of transceivers to one or more antenna connectors for BS type 1-C or TAB connectors for BS type 1-H in different ways are possible. For multi-band connector(s) the exclusions or provisions for multi-band apply. For single-band connector(s) , the following applies:

  • Single-band transmitter spurious emissions, operating band unwanted emissions, ACLR, transmitter intermodulation and receiver spurious emissions requirements apply to this connector that is mapped to single-band. In case there are carrier(s) transmitted simultaneously in another supported operating band in common active RF components, when the RF signals of these antenna connectors cover the same geographical area, the frequency range of the Base Station RF bandwidth in the other supported band to this antenna connector should be excluded from the unwanted emission requirements.

  • If the BS is configured for single-band operation, single-band requirements shall apply to this connector configured for single-band operation and no exclusions or provisions for multi-band capable BS are applicable. Single-band requirements are tested separately at the connector configured for single-band operation, with all other antenna connectors terminated.

A BS type 1-H may be capable of supporting operation in multiple operating bands with one of the following implementations of TAB connectors in the transceiver array boundary :

  • All TAB connectors are single-band connectors .

  • Different sets of single-band connectors support different operating bands , but each TAB connector supports only operation in one single operating band .

  • Sets of single-band connectors support operation in multiple operating bands with some single-band connectors supporting more than one operating band .

  • All TAB connectors are multi-band connectors .

  • A combination of single-band sets and multi-band sets of TAB connectors provides support of the type BS type 1-H capability of operation in multiple operating bands .

Unless otherwise stated all requirements specified for an operating band apply only to the set of TAB connectors supporting that operating band .

In the case of an operating band being supported only by single-band connectors in a TAB connector TX min cell group or a TAB connector RX min cell group , single-band requirements apply to that set of TAB connectors .

In the case of an operating band being supported only by multi-band connector s supporting the same operating band combination in a TAB connector TX min cell group or a TAB connector RX min cell group , multi-band requirements apply to that set of TAB connectors .

The case of an operating band being supported by both multi-band connectors and single-band connectors in a TAB connector TX min cell group or a TAB connector RX min cell group is not covered by the present release of this specification.

The case of an operating band being supported by multi-band connectors which are not all supporting the same operating band combination in a TAB connector TX min cell group or a TAB connector RX min cell group is not covered by the present release of this specification.

BS type 1-O may be capable of supporting operation in multiple operating bands with one of the following implementations at the radiated interface boundary :

  • All RIBs are single-band RIBs .

  • All RIBs are multi-band RIBs .

  • A combination of single-band RIBs and multi-band RIBs provides support of the BS type 1-O capability of operation in multiple operating bands .

For multi-band connectors and multi-band RIBs supporting the bands for TDD, the RF requirements in the present specification assume no simultaneous uplink and downlink occur between the bands.

The RF requirements for multi-band connectors and multi-band RIBs supporting bands for both FDD and TDD are not covered by the present release of this specification.

4.9 OTA co-location with other base stations

Co-location requirements are requirements which are based on assuming the BS type 1-O is co-located with another BS of the same base station class, they ensure that both co-located systems can operate with minimal degradation to each other.

Unwanted emission and out of band blocking co-location requirements are optional requirements based on declaration. TX OFF and TX IMD are mandatory requirements and have the form of a co-location requirement as it represents the worst-case scenario of all the interference cases.

NOTE: Due to the low level of the unwanted emissions for the spurious emissions and TX OFF level co-location is the most suitable method to show conformance.

The co-location reference antenna shall be a single column passive antenna which has the same vertical radiating dimension (h), frequency range, polarization, as the composite antenna of the BS type 1-O and nominal 65° horizontal half-power beamwidth (suitable for 3-sector deployment) and is placed at a distance d from the edge of the BS type 1-O , as shown in figure 4.9-1.

Image

Figure 4.9-1: Illustration of BS type 1-O enclosure and co-location reference antenna

Edge-to-edge separation d between the BS type 1-O and the co-location reference antenna shall be set to 0.1 m.

The BS type 1-O and the co-location reference antenna shall be aligned in a common plane perpendicular to the mechanical bore-sight direction, as shown in figure 4.9-1.

The co-location reference antenna and the BS type 1-O can have different width.

The vertical radiating regions of the co-location reference antenna and the BS type 1-O composite antenna shall be aligned.

For co-location requirements where the frequency range of the signal at the co-location reference antenna is different from the BS type 1-O , a co-location reference antenna suitable for the frequency stated in the requirement is assumed.

OTA co-location requirements are based on the power at the conducted interface of a co-location reference antenna , depending on the requirement this interface is either an input or an output. For BS type 1-O with dual polarization the co-location reference antenna has two conducted interfaces each representing one polarization.

5 Operating bands and channel arrangement

5.1 General

The channel arrangements presented in this clause are based on the operating bands and BS channel bandwidths defined in the present release of specifications.

The frequency ranges in which NR can operate according to the present version of the specification are identified as described in table 5.1-1. Whenever FR2 is referred, both FR2-1 and FR2-2 frequency sub-ranges shall be applied, unless otherwise stated.

5.3 BS channel bandwidth

5.3.1 General

The BS channel bandwidth supports a single NR RF carrier in the uplink or downlink at the Base Station. Different UE channel bandwidths may be supported within the same spectrum for transmitting to and receiving from UEs connected to the BS. The placement of the UE channel bandwidth is flexible but can only be completely within the BS channel bandwidth . The BS shall be able to transmit to and/or receive from one or more UE bandwidth parts that are smaller than or equal to the number of carrier resource blocks on the RF carrier, in any part of the carrier resource blocks.

The relationship between the channel bandwidth, the guardband and the transmission bandwidth configuration is shown in figure 5.3.1-1.

Nominalchannelspacing=⌊BWChannel(1)+BWChannel(2)−2∣GBChannel(1)−GBChannel(2)∣0.6⌋0.3[MHz]Nominal channel spacing=\left\lfloor \frac{BW_{Channel(1)}+BW_{Channel(2)}-2\left|GB_{Channel(1)}-GB_{Channel(2)}\right|}{0.6}\right\rfloor 0.3 [MHz] .

5.4 Channel arrangement

5.4.1 Channel spacing

5.4.1.1 Channel spacing for adjacent NR carriers

The spacing between carriers will depend on the deployment scenario, the size of the frequency block available and the BS channel bandwidths . The nominal channel spacing between two adjacent NR carriers is defined as following:

  • For NR FR1 operating bands with 100 kHz channel raster,

▪ Nominal Channel spacing = (BW Channel(1) + BW Channel(2) )/2

  • For NR FR1 operating bands with 15 kHz channel raster,

▪ Nominal Channel spacing = (BW Channel(1) + BW Channel(2) )/2 + {-5 kHz, 0 kHz, 5 kHz} for ∆F Raster equals to 15 kHz

▪ Nominal Channel spacing = (BW Channel(1) + BW Channel(2) )/2 + {-10 kHz, 0 kHz, 10 kHz} for ∆F Raster equals to 30 kHz

  • For NR FR2 operating bands with 60 kHz channel raster,

▪ Nominal Channel spacing = (BW Channel(1) + BW Channel(2) )/2 + {-20 kHz, 0 kHz, 20 kHz} for ∆F Raster equals to 60 kHz

▪ Nominal Channel spacing = (BW Channel(1) + BW Channel(2) )/2 + {-40 kHz, 0 kHz, 40 kHz} for ∆F Raster equals to 120 kHz

  • For operating band n263

▪ Nominal Channel spacing = ceil((BW Channel(1) + BW Channel(2) )/100.8)*50.4 MHz,

where BW Channel(1) and BW Channel(2) are the BS channel bandwidths of the two respective NR carriers. The channel spacing can be adjusted depending on the channel raster to optimize performance in a particular deployment scenario.

For NR bands restricted to operation with shared-spectrum channel access, the maximum deviation from the nominal channel spacing is 40 kHz.

5.4.1.2 Channel spacing for CA

For intra-band contiguously aggregated carriers, the channel spacing between adjacent component carriers shall be multiple of least common multiple of channel raster and sub-carrier spacing.

The nominal channel spacing between two adjacent aggregated NR carriers is defined as follows:

For NR operating bands with 100 kHz channel raster:

Nominalchannelspacing=⌊BWChannel(1)+BWChannel(2)−2∣GBChannel(1)−GBChannel(2)∣0.6⌋0.3(MHz)Nominalchannelspacing= \lfloor \frac{BW_{Channel(1)}+BW_{Channel(2)}-2\left|GB_{Channel(1)}-GB_{Channel(2)}\right|}{0.6} \rfloor 0.3(MHz)

For NR operating bands with 15 kHz channel raster:

Nominalchannelspacing=⌊BWChannel(1)+BWChannel(2)−2∣GBChannel(1)−GBChannel(2)∣0.015∗2n+1⌋0.015∗2n(MHz)Nominalchannelspacing= \lfloor \frac{BW_{Channel(1)}+BW_{Channel(2)}-2\left|GB_{Channel(1)}-GB_{Channel(2)}\right|}{0.015*2^{n+1}} \rfloor 0.015*2^{n}(MHz)

with

n=μ0n= \mu _{0}

For NR operating bands with 60kHz channel raster:

Nominalchannelspacing=⌊BWChannel(1)+BWChannel(2)−2∣GBChannel(1)−GBChannel(2)∣0.06∗2n+1⌋0.06∗2n(MHz)Nominalchannelspacing= \lfloor \frac{BW_{Channel(1)}+BW_{Channel(2)}-2\left|GB_{Channel(1)}-GB_{Channel(2)}\right|}{0.06*2^{n+1}} \rfloor 0.06*2^{n}(MHz)

with

n=μ0−2n= \mu _{0}-2

For operating band n263

Nominal Channel spacing = ceil((BW Channel(1) + BW Channel(2) )/100.8)*50.4 MHz,

where BWChannel(1) and BWChannel(2) are the BS channel bandwidths of the two respective NR component carriers according to Table 5.3.2-1, 5.3.2-2 and 5.3.2-3 with values in MHz, μ0\mu _{0} the largest μ\mu value among the subcarrier spacing configurations supported in the operating band for both of the channel bandwidths according to Table 5.3.5-1 and Table 5.3.5-2 and GBChannel(i) the minimum guard band for channel bandwidth i according to Table 5.3.3-1, Table 5.3.3-2 and Table 5.3.3-2a for the said μ\mu value, with μ\mu as defined in TS 38.211 [9]. In case there is no common μ value for both of the channel bandwidths, μ0=1 is selected for NR operating bands with 15 kHz channel raster and GBChannel(i) is the minimum guard band for channel bandwidth i according to Table 5.3.3-1 for μ=1 with μ as defined in TS 38.211[9].

The channel spacing for intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation can be adjusted to any multiple of least common multiple of channel raster and sub-carrier spacing less than the nominal channel spacing to optimize performance in a particular deployment scenario.

For intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation in NR bands restricted to operation with shared-spectrum channel access, the maximum deviation from the nominal channel spacing is 300 kHz.

For intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation , the channel spacing between two NR component carriers in different sub-blocks shall be larger than the nominal channel spacing defined in this clause.

5.4.2 Channel raster

5.4.2.1 NR-ARFCN and channel raster

The global frequency raster defines a set of RF reference frequencies F REF . The RF reference frequency is used in signalling to identify the position of RF channels, SS blocks and other elements. The global frequency raster is defined for all frequencies from 0 to 100 GHz. The granularity of the global frequency raster is ΔF Global .

RF reference frequencies are designated by an NR Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (NR-ARFCN) in the range [0…3279165] on the global frequency raster. The relation between the NR-ARFCN and the RF reference frequency F REF in MHz is given by the following equation, where F REF-Offs and N Ref-Offs are given in table 5.4.2.1-1 and N REF is the NR-ARFCN.

F REF = F REF-Offs + ΔF Global (N REF – N REF-Offs )

Table 5.4.2.1-1: NR-ARFCN parameters for the global frequency raster

Range of frequencies (MHz) ΔF Global (kHz) F REF-Offs (MHz) N REF-Offs Range of N REF
0 – 3000 5 0 0 0 – 599999
3000 – 24250 15 3000 600000 600000 – 2016666
24250 – 100000 60 24250.08 2016667 2016667 – 3279165

The channel raster defines a subset of RF reference frequencies that can be used to identify the RF channel position in the uplink and downlink. The RF reference frequency for an RF channel maps to a resource element on the carrier. For each operating band , a subset of frequencies from the global frequency raster are applicable for that band and forms a channel raster with a granularity ΔF Raster , which may be equal to or larger than ΔF Global .

For SUL bands except n95, n97, n98 and for the uplink of all FDD bands defined in table 5.2-1, for TDD bands n34, n38, n39, n48, n90, and n40,

F REF,shift = F REF + Δ shift , where Δ shift = 0 kHz or 7.5 kHz

where Δ shift is signalled by the network in higher layer parameter frequencyShift7p5khz as defined in TS 38.331 [11].

For bands n34, n38, n39, n48 and n40, F REF, shift is only applicable to uplink transmissions using a 15 kHz SCS.

The mapping between the channel raster and corresponding resource element is given in clause 5.4.2.2. The applicable entries for each operating band are defined in clause 5.4.2.3.

5.4.2.1A NB-IoT carrier frequency numbering

The NB-IoT carrier frequency numbering (EARFCN) is defined in clause 5.7 of TS 36.104 [4].

5.4.2.2 Channel raster to resource element mapping

The mapping between the RF reference frequency on the channel raster and the corresponding resource element is given in table 5.4.2.2-1 and can be used to identify the RF channel position. The mapping depends on the total number of RBs that are allocated in the channel and applies to both UL and DL. The mapping must apply to at least one numerology supported by the BS.

NRB is the transmission bandwidth configuration specified in sub-clause 5.3.2, is the PRB index within the NRB, and kk is the resource element index within this PRB

5.4.2.3 Channel raster entries for each operating band

The RF channel positions on the channel raster in each NR operating band are given through the applicable NR-ARFCN in table 5.4.2.3-1 for FR1 and table 5.4.2.3-2 for FR2, using the channel raster to resource element mapping in clause 5.4.2.2.

  • For NR operating bands with 100 kHz channel raster, ΔF Raster = 20 × ΔF Global . In this case, every 20 th NR-ARFCN within the operating band are applicable for the channel raster within the operating band and the step size for the channel raster in table 5.4.2.3-1 is given as <20>.

  • For NR operating bands with 15 kHz channel raster below 3 GHz, ΔF Raster = I × ΔF Global , where I ϵ {3,6}. In this case, every I th NR-ARFCN within the operating band are applicable for the channel raster within the operating band and the step size for the channel raster in table 5.4.2.3-1 is given as < I >.

  • For NR operating bands with 15 kHz and 60 kHz channel raster above 3 GHz, ΔF Raster = I ×ΔF Global , where I ϵ {1, 2}. In this case, every I th NR-ARFCN within the operating band are applicable for the channel raster within the operating band and the step size for the channel raster in table 5.4.2.3-1 and table 5.4.2.3-2 is given as < I >.

  • For frequency bands with two ΔF Raster in FR1, the higher ΔF Raster applies to channels using only the SCS that is equal to or larger than the higher ΔF Raster and SSB SCS is equal to the higher ΔF Raster .

  • For frequency bands with two ΔF Raster in FR2, the higher ΔF Raster applies to channels using only the SCS that is equal to the higher ΔF Raster and the SSB SCS that is equal to or larger than the higher ΔF Raster .

5.4.3 Synchronization raster

5.4.3.1 Synchronization raster and numbering

The synchronization raster indicates the frequency positions of the synchronization block that can be used by the UE for system acquisition when explicit signalling of the synchronization block position is not present.

A global synchronization raster is defined for all frequencies. The frequency position of the SS block is defined as SS REF with corresponding number GSCN. The parameters defining the SS REF and GSCN for all the frequency ranges are in table 5.4.3.1-1 for above 3 MHz channel bandwidth and in table 5.4.3.1-2 for 3 MHz channel bandwidth.

For band n100, additional parameters defining the SS REF and GSCN are specified in table 5.4.3.1-3.

The resource element corresponding to the SS block reference frequency SS REF is given in clause 5.4.3.2. The synchronization raster and the subcarrier spacing of the synchronization block is defined separately for each band.

The synchronization raster and the corresponding SS block do not cover all possible RF channel bandwidths and locations on Enhanced channel raster.

6 Conducted transmitter characteristics

6.1 General

Unless otherwise stated, the conducted transmitter characteristics are specified at the antenna connector for BS type 1-C and at the TAB connector for BS type 1-H , with a full complement of transceiver units for the configuration in normal operating conditions.

For BS type 1-H the manufacturer shall declare the minimum number of supported geographical cells (i.e. geographical areas covered by beams). The minimum number of supported geographical cells (N cells ) relates to the BS setting with the minimum amount of cell splitting supported with transmission on all TAB connectors supporting the operating band , or with minimum amount of transmitted beams.

For BS type 1-H manufacturer shall also declare TAB connector TX min cell groups . Every TAB connector of the BS type 1-H supporting transmission in an operating band shall map to one TAB connector TX min cell group supporting the same operating band , where mapping of TAB connector s to cells/beams is implementation dependent.

The number of active transmitter units that are considered when calculating the conducted TX emissions limits (N TXU,counted ) for BS type 1-H is calculated as follows:

N TXU,counted = min(N TXU,active , 8×N cells )

N TXU,countedpercell is used for scaling of basic limits and is derived as N TXU,countedpercell = N TXU,counted / N cells

NOTE: N TXU,active depends on the actual number of active transmitter unit s and is independent to the declaration of N cells .

For BS type 1-H there is no requirement specified for band n46, n100 and n101 and n102.

The requirements for NB-IoT are not applied for ATG BS.

Unless stated otherwise, the requirements for BS type 1-C and BS type 1-H are applied for ATG BS type 1-C and 1-H , respectively.

6.2 Base station output power

6.2.1 General

The BS conducted output power requirement is at antenna connector for BS type 1-C , or at TAB connector for BS type 1-H .

The rated carrier output power of the BS type 1-C shall be as specified in table 6.2.1-1.

Table 6.2.1-1: BS type 1-C rated output power limits for BS classes

BS class P rated,c,AC
Wide Area BS (Note)
Medium Range BS ≤ 38 dBm
Local Area BS ≤ 24 dBm
NOTE: There is no upper limit for the P rated,c,AC rated output power of the Wide Area Base Station.

For operation in bands n100 and n101 in CEPT countries subject to the ECC Decision (20)02 [21], the WA BS requirement in table 6.2.1-1 apply in case of coordinated RMR BS deployments, while the requirements in clause 6.2.4 apply in case of uncoordinated RMR BS deployments.

The rated carrier output power of the BS type 1-H shall be as specified in table 6.2.1-2.

Table 6.2.1-2: BS type 1-H rated output power limits for BS classes

BS class P rated,c,sys P rated,c,TABC
Wide Area BS (Note) (Note)
Medium Range BS ≤ 38 dBm +10log(N TXU,counted ) ≤ 38 dBm
Local Area BS ≤ 24 dBm +10log(N TXU,counted ) ≤ 24 dBm
NOTE: There is no upper limit for the P rated,c,sys or P rated,c,TABC of the Wide Area Base Station.

In addition, for operation with shared spectrum channel access operation, the BS may have to comply with the applicable BS power limits established regionally, when deployed in regions where those limits apply and under the conditions declared by the manufacturer.

6.2.2 Minimum requirement for BS type 1-C

In normal conditions, P max,c,AC shall remain within +2 dB and -2 dB of the rated carrier output power P rated,c,AC , declared by the manufacturer.

In extreme conditions, P max,c,AC shall remain within +2.5 dB and -2.5 dB of the rated carrier output power P rated,c,AC , declared by the manufacturer.

In certain regions, the minimum requirement for normal conditions may apply also for some conditions outside the range of conditions defined as normal.

NOTE: For NB-IoT operation in NR in-band, the NR carrier and NB-IoT carrier shall be seen as a single carrier occupied NR channel bandwidth, the output power over this carrier is shared between NR and NB-IoT. This note shall apply for P max,c,AC and P rated,c,AC .

6.2.3 Minimum requirement for BS type 1-H

In normal conditions, P max,c,TABC shall remain within +2 dB and -2 dB of the rated carrier output power P rated,c,TABC for each TAB connector as declared by the manufacturer.

In extreme conditions, P max,c,TABC shall remain within +2.5 dB and -2.5 dB of the rated carrier output power P rated,c,TABC for each TAB connector as declared by the manufacturer.

In certain regions, the minimum requirement for normal conditions may apply also for some conditions outside the range of conditions defined as normal.

6.2.4 Additional requirements (regional)

In certain regions, additional regional requirements may apply.

For Band n41 and n90 operation in Japan, the rated output power, P rated,c.sys for BS type 1-H or sum of P rated,c,AC over all antenna connectors for BS type 1-C declared by the manufacturer shall be equal to or less than 20 W per 10 MHz bandwidth.

For band n100 in CEPT countries subject to the ECC Decision (20)02 [21], P rated,c,AC of the WA BS shall be as specified in table 6.2.4-1.

Table 6.2.4-1: WA BS P rated,c,AC in band n100

Channel bandwidth P rated,c,AC (NOTE 1)
3MHz (NOTE 2) ≤ 48 dBm/3MHz + (f DL -921.4) x 40/3 dB
5MHz ≤ 51.5 dBm/5MHz + (f D L-922.1) x 40/3 dB
NOTE 1: f DL = centre frequency in MHz NOTE 2 : f DL ≤ 922.5 MHz. No additional output power restriction for f DL > 922.5MHz

This limit is derived from ECC Decision (20)02 [21] assuming a 17 dBi maximum antenna gain and 4 dB losses, and assuming one antenna connector. The above rated output power limit for band n100 applies to uncoordinated deployments and in case of coordinated deployments, higher output power values may be allowed.

For CEPT countries subject to the ECC Decision (20)02 [21], administrations wishing to allow multiple carriers, i.e., more than one wideband carrier (LTE, NR, NB-IoT standalone, or NR/LTE with NB-IoT in-band) in band n100, should consider the implementation of a coordination procedure or other mitigation measures.

NOTE 1: For more details on the maximum level derivation, refer to TR 38.853 [23].

NOTE 2: Void.

NOTE 3: Standalone NB-IoT operation is specified in TS 36.104 [13].

For band n101 in CEPT countries subject to the ECC Decision (20)02 [21], P rated,c,AC shall not exceed 51 dBm/10MHz or 48 dBm/5MHz. This limit is derived from ECC Decision (20)02 [21] assuming a 18 dBi maximum antenna gain and 4 dB losses, and assuming one antenna connector. The above rated output power limit for band n101 applies to uncoordinated deployments and in case of coordinated deployments, higher output power values may be allowed.

For CEPT countries subject to the ECC Decision (20)02 [21], administrations wishing to allow multiple carriers, i.e., more than one wideband carrier (LTE, NR, NB-IoT standalone, or NR/LTE with NB-IoT in-band) in band n101, should consider the implementation of a coordination procedure or other mitigation measures.

NOTE 4: For more details on the maximum level derivation, refer to TR 38.852 [22].

NOTE 5: Standalone NB-IoT operation is specified in TS 36.104 [13].

6.6 Unwanted emissions

6.6.1 General

Unwanted emissions consist of out-of-band emissions and spurious emissions according to ITU definitions [2]. In ITU terminology, out of band emissions are unwanted emissions immediately outside the BS channel bandwidth resulting from the modulation process and non-linearity in the transmitter but excluding spurious emissions. Spurious emissions are emissions which are caused by unwanted transmitter effects such as harmonics emission, parasitic emission, intermodulation products and frequency conversion products, but exclude out of band emissions.

The out-of-band emissions requirement for the BS transmitter is specified both in terms of Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR) and operating band unwanted emissions (OBUE).

The maximum offset of the operating band unwanted emissions mask from the operating band edge is Δf OBUE . The Operating band unwanted emissions define all unwanted emissions in each supported downlink operating band plus the frequency ranges Δf OBUE above and Δf OBUE below each band. Unwanted emissions outside of this frequency range are limited by a spurious emissions requirement.

The values of Δf OBUE are defined in table 6.6.1-1 for the NR operating bands .

Table 6.6.1-1: Maximum offset of OBUE outside the downlink operating band

BS type Operating band characteristics Δf OBUE (MHz)
BS type 1-H F DL,high – F DL,low < 100 MHz 10
100 MHz F DL,high – F DL,low 900 MHz 40
BS type 1-C F DL,high – F DL,low 200 MHz 10
200 MHz < F DL,high – F DL,low 900 MHz 40

For band n46, n96 and n102, the values of Δf OBUE are defined in table 6.6.1-1a.

BS type Operating band Δf OBUE (MHz)
BS type 1-H n104 100
BS type 1-C n104 40

For BS type 1-H the unwanted emission requirements are applied per the TAB connector TX min cell groups for all the configurations supported by the BS. The basic limits and corresponding emissions scaling are defined in each relevant clause.

There is in addition a requirement for occupied bandwidth.

6.6.2 Occupied bandwidth

6.6.2.1 General

The occupied bandwidth is the width of a frequency band such that, below the lower and above the upper frequency limits, the mean powers emitted are each equal to a specified percentage /2 of the total mean transmitted power. See also Recommendation ITU-R SM.328 [3].

The value of /2 shall be taken as 0.5%.

The occupied bandwidth requirement shall apply during the transmitter ON period for a single transmitted carrier. The minimum requirement below may be applied regionally. There may also be regional requirements to declare the occupied bandwidth according to the definition in the present clause.

For BS type 1-C this requirement shall be applied at the antenna connector supporting transmission in the operating band .

For NB.IoT operation in NR in-band, the occupied bandwidth for each NR carrier with NB-IoT shall be less than than the BS channel bandwidth .

If the BS supports LP-WUS operation, the occupied bandwidth for each NR carrier with LP-WUS shall be less than the BS channel bandwidth .

6.6.3 Adjacent Channel Leakage Power Ratio

6.6.3.1 General

Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR) is the ratio of the filtered mean power centred on the assigned channel frequency to the filtered mean power centred on an adjacent channel frequency.

The requirements shall also apply if the BS supports NB-IoT operation in NR in-band.

The requirements shall also apply if the BS supports LP-WUS operation.

Unless otherwise stated, the operating band unwanted emission (OBUE) limits in FR1 are defined from Δf OBUE below the lowest frequency of each supported downlink operating band up to Δf OBUE above the highest frequency of each supported downlink operating band . The values of Δf OBUE are defined in table 6.6.1-1 for the NR operating bands .

The requirements shall apply whatever the type of transmitter considered and for all transmission modes foreseen by the manufacturer’s specification. In addition, for a BS operating in non-contiguous spectrum , the requirements apply inside any sub-block gap . In addition, for a BS operating in multiple bands, the requirements apply inside any Inter RF Bandwidth gap .

Basic limits are specified in the tables below, where:

  • f is the separation between the channel edge frequency and the nominal -3dB point of the measuring filter closest to the carrier frequency.

  • f_offset is the separation between the channel edge frequency and the centre of the measuring filter.

  • f_offset max is the offset to the frequency Δf OBUE outside the downlink operating band , where Δf OBUE is defined in table 6.6.1-1.

  • f max is equal to f_offset max minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

For a multi-band connector inside any Inter RF Bandwidth gaps with W gap < 2*Δf OBUE , a combined basic limit shall be applied which is the cumulative sum of the basic limit s specified at the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges on each side of the Inter RF Bandwidth gap . The basic limit for Base Station RF Bandwidth edge is specified in clauses 6.6.4.2.1 to 6.6.4.2.4 below, where in this case:

  • f is the separation between the Base Station RF Bandwidth edge frequency and the nominal -3 dB point of the measuring filter closest to the Base Station RF Bandwidth edge .

  • f_offset is the separation between the Base Station RF Bandwidth edge frequency and the centre of the measuring filter.

  • f_offset max is equal to the Inter RF Bandwidth gap minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

  • f max is equal to f_offset max minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

For a multi-band connector , the operating band unwanted emission limits apply also in a supported operating band without any carrier transmitted, in the case where there are carrier(s) transmitted in another supported operating band . In this case, no cumulative basic limit is applied in the inter-band gap between a supported downlink operating band with carrier(s) transmitted and a supported downlink operating band without any carrier transmitted and

  • In case the inter-band gap between a supported downlink operating band with carrier(s) transmitted and a supported downlink operating band without any carrier transmitted is less than 2*Δf OBUE , f_offset max shall be the offset to the frequency Δf OBUE MHz outside the outermost edges of the two supported downlink operating bands and the operating band unwanted emission basic limits of the band where there are carriers transmitted, as defined in the tables of the present clause, shall apply across both downlink bands.

  • In other cases, the operating band unwanted emission basic limits of the band where there are carriers transmitted, as defined in the tables of the present clause for the largest frequency offset (f max ), shall apply from Δf OBUE MHz below the lowest frequency, up to Δf OBUE MHz above the highest frequency of the supported downlink operating band without any carrier transmitted.

For a multi-carrier single-band connector or a single-band connector configured for intra-band contiguous or non-contiguous carrier aggregation the definitions above apply to the lower edge of the carrier transmitted at the lowest carrier frequency and the upper edge of the carrier transmitted at the highest carrier frequency within a specified frequency band.

In addition, inside any sub-block gap for a single-band connector operating in non-contiguous spectrum , a combined basic limit shall be applied which is the cumulative sum of the basic limit s specified for the adjacent sub-blocks on each side of the sub-block gap . The basic limit for each sub-block is specified in clauses 6.6.4.2.1 to 6.6.4.2.4 below, where in this case:

  • f is the separation between the sub-block edge frequency and the nominal -3 dB point of the measuring filter closest to the sub-block edge.

  • f_offset is the separation between the sub-block edge frequency and the centre of the measuring filter.

  • f_offset max is equal to the sub-block gap bandwidth minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

  • f max is equal to f_offset max minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

For Wide Area BS, the requirements of either clause 6.6.4.2.1 (Category A limits) or clause 6.6.4.2.2 (Category B limits) shall apply.

For Medium Range BS, the requirements in clause 6.6.4.2.3 shall apply (Category A and B).

For Local Area BS, the requirements of clause 6.6.4.2.4 shall apply (Category A and B).

The requirements shall also apply if the BS supports NB-IoT operation in NR in-band.

The requirements shall also apply if the BS supports LP-WUS operation.

The application of either Category A or Category B basic limits shall be the same as for Transmitter spurious emissions in clause 6.6.5.

These requirements may be applied for the protection of system operating in frequency ranges other than the BS downlink operating band . The limits may apply as an optional protection of such systems that are deployed in the same geographical area as the BS, or they may be set by local or regional regulation as a mandatory requirement for an NR operating band . It is in some cases not stated in the present document whether a requirement is mandatory or under what exact circumstances that a limit applies, since this is set by local or regional regulation. An overview of regional requirements in the present document is given in clause 4.5.

The following requirement may apply to BS operating in 3.45-3.55 GHz in Band n77 in certain regions. The power of any spurious emission shall not exceed:

Table 6.6.5.2.3-11: Additional BS spurious emissions limits for Band n77

Channel bandwidth [MHz] Frequency range [MHz] Filter centre frequency, Ffilter [MHz] Basic limit [dBm] Measurement bandwidth [MHz]

NOTE: The resolution bandwidth of the measuring equipment should be equal to the measurement bandwidth. However, to improve measurement accuracy, sensitivity and efficiency, the resolution bandwidth may be smaller than the measurement bandwidth. When the resolution bandwidth is smaller than the measurement bandwidth, the result should be integrated over the measurement bandwidth in order to obtain the equivalent noise bandwidth of the measurement bandwidth.

The following requirement shall apply to BS operating in Band n101 in CEPT countries. The power of any spurious emission shall not exceed:

1920 MHz – 1980 MHz -57 dBm 5 MHz This limit is derived from ECC Decision(20)02 [21] assuming a 18 dBi maximum antenna gain and 4 dB losses, and assuming one antenna connector. For more details on the maximum level derivation, refer to TR 38.852 [23]

The following requirement shall apply to BS operating in Band n100 in CEPT countries. The power of any spurious emission shall not exceed:

Note: The regional requirements is defined in terms of EIRP (effective isotropic radiated power), which is dependent on both the BS emissions at the antenna connector and the deployment (including antenna gain and feeder loss). The EIRP level is calculated using: P EIRP = P E + G ant where P E denotes the BS unwanted emission level at the antenna connector, G ant equals the BS antenna gain minus feeder loss. The requirement defined above provides the characteristics of the base station needed to verify compliance with the regional requirement specified in attachment to the FCC reference document, 0007135419.

6.6.5.2.4 Co-location with other base stations

These requirements may be applied for the protection of other BS receivers when GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900, GSM850, CDMA850, UTRA FDD, UTRA TDD, E-UTRA and/or NR BS are co-located with a BS.

The requirements assume a 30 dB coupling loss between transmitter and receiver and are based on co-location with base stations of the same class.

The basic limits are in table 6.6.5.2.4-1 for a BS where requirements for co-location with a BS type listed in the second column apply, depending on the declared Base Station class. For a multi-band connector , the exclusions and conditions in the table 6.6.5.2.4-1 shall apply for each supported operating band .

NOTE 1: As defined in the scope for spurious emissions in this clause, the co-location requirements in table 6.6.5.2.4-1 do not apply for the frequency range extending Δf OBUE immediately outside the BS transmit frequency range of a downlink operating band (see table 5.2-1). The current state-of-the-art technology does not allow a single generic solution for co-location with other system on adjacent frequencies for 30dB BS-BS minimum coupling loss. However, there are certain site-engineering solutions that can be used. These techniques are addressed in TR 25.942 [4].

NOTE 2: Table 6.6.5.2.4-1 assumes that two operating bands , where the corresponding BS transmit and receive frequency ranges in table 5.2-1 would be overlapping, are not deployed in the same geographical area. For such a case of operation with overlapping frequency arrangements in the same geographical area, special co-location requirements may apply that are not covered by the 3GPP specifications.

NOTE 3: Co-located TDD base stations that are synchronized and using the same or adjacent operating band can transmit without special co-locations requirements. For unsynchronized base stations, special co-location requirements may apply that are not covered by the 3GPP specifications.

NOTE 4: Frequency range of NR, UTRA and E-UTRA bands, as described in clause 5.2, TS 25.104 [29] clause 5.2 and TS 36.104 [13] clause 5.5, respectively.

For Band n41 and n90 operation in Japan, the sum of the spurious emissions over all antenna connectors for BS type 1-C shall not exceed the basic limits defined in clause 6.6.5.2.

6.6.5.4 Minimum requirements for BS type 1-H

The Tx spurious emissions requirements for BS type 1-H are that for each TAB connector TX min cell group and each applicable basic limit in clause 6.6.5.2, the power summation emissions at the TAB connectors of the TAB connectors of the TAB connector TX min cell group shall not exceed a limit specified as the basic limit + X, where X = 10log 10 (N TXU,countedpercell ), unless stated differently in regional regulation.

NOTE: Conformance to the BS type 1-H spurious emission requirement can be demonstrated by meeting at least one of the following criteria as determined by the manufacturer:

  1. The sum of the emissions power measured on each TAB connector in the TAB connector TX min cell group shall be less than or equal to the limit as defined in this clause for the respective frequency span.

Or

  1. The unwanted emissions power at each TAB connector shall be less than or equal to the BS type 1-H limit as defined in this clause for the respective frequency span, scaled by -10log 10 (n), where n is the number of TAB connectors in the TAB connector TX min cell group .

6.7 Transmitter intermodulation

6.7.1 General

The transmitter intermodulation requirement is a measure of the capability of the transmitter unit to inhibit the generation of signals in its non-linear elements caused by presence of the wanted signal and an interfering signal reaching the transmitter unit via the antenna, RDN and antenna array. The requirement shall apply during the transmitter ON period and the transmitter transient period .

For BS type 1-C , the transmitter intermodulation level is the power of the intermodulation products when an interfering signal is injected into the antenna connector .

For BS type 1-H , the transmitter intermodulation level is the power of the intermodulation products when an interfering signal is injected into the TAB connector .

For BS type 1-H , there are two types of transmitter intermodulation cases captured by the transmitter intermodulation requirement:

  1. Co-location transmitter intermodulation in which the interfering signal is from a co-located base station.

  2. Intra-system transmitter intermodulation in which the interfering signal is from other transmitter units within the BS type 1-H .

For BS type 1-H , the co-location transmitter intermodulation requirement is considered sufficient if the interference signal for the co-location requirement is higher than the declared interference signal for intra-system transmitter intermodulation requirement.

7.4 In-band selectivity and blocking

7.4.1 Adjacent Channel Selectivity (ACS)

7.4.1.1 General

Adjacent channel selectivity (ACS) is a measure of the receiver’s ability to receive a wanted signal at its assigned channel frequency at the antenna connector for BS type 1-C or TAB connector for BS type 1-H in the presence of an adjacent channel signal with a specified centre frequency offset of the interfering signal to the band edge of a victim system.

7.4.1.2 Minimum requirement for BS type 1-C and BS type 1-H

The throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel.

For BS operating except for band n46, n96, n102 and n104, the wanted and the interfering signal coupled to the BS type 1-C antenna connector or BS type 1-H TAB connector are specified in table 7.4.1.2-1 and the frequency offset between the wanted and interfering signal in table 7.4.1.2-2 for ACS. The reference measurement channel for the wanted signal is identified in table 7.2.2-1, 7.2.2-2 and 7.2.2-3 for each BS channel bandwidth in any operating band except for band n46, n96, n102 and n104 and further specified in annex A.1. The characteristics of the interfering signal is further specified in annex D.

For BS operating in band n46, n96 and n102, the wanted and the interfering signal coupled to the BS type 1-C antenna connector or BS type 1-H TAB connector are specified in table 7.4.1.2-1a and the frequency offset between the wanted and interfering signal in table 7.4.1.2-2a for ACS. The reference measurement channel for the wanted signal is identified in table 7.2.2-2a and 7.2.2-3a for each BS channel bandwidth and further specified in annex A.1a. The characteristics of the interfering signal is further specified in annex D.

For BS operating in band n104, the wanted and the interfering signal coupled to the BS type 1-C antenna connector or BS type 1-H TAB connector are specified in table 7.4.1.2-1b and the frequency offset between the wanted and interfering signal in table 7.4.1.2-2 for ACS. The reference measurement channel for the wanted signal is identified in 7.2.2-1a, 7.2.2-2c, 7.2.2-3c for each BS channel bandwidth and further specified in annex A.1. The characteristics of the interfering signal is further specified in annex D.

For BS supporting NB-IoT operation in NR in-band, the wanted and the interfering signal coupled to the BS type 1-C antenna connector are specified in table 7.4.1.2-1 and the frequency offset between the wanted and interfering signal in table 7.4.1.2-2 for ACS. The reference measurement channel for the NB-IoT wanted signal is identified in clause 7.2.1 of TS 36.104 [13]. The characteristics of the interfering signal is further specified in annex D.

The ACS requirement is applicable outside the Base Station RF Bandwidth or Radio Bandwidth . The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the Base station RF Bandwidth edges or Radio Bandwidth edges.

For a BS operating in non-contiguous spectrum within any operating band , the ACS requirement shall apply in addition inside any sub-block gap , in case the sub-block gap size is at least as wide as the NR interfering signal in table 7.4.1.2-2. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the sub-block edges inside the sub-block gap .

For a multi-band connector , the ACS requirement shall apply in addition inside any Inter RF Bandwidth gap , in case the Inter RF Bandwidth gap size is at least as wide as the NR interfering signal in table 7.4.1.2-2. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges inside the Inter RF Bandwidth gap .

Minimum conducted requirement is defined at the antenna connector for BS type 1-C and at the TAB connector for BS type 1-H.

The throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel, with a wanted and an interfering signal coupled to BS type 1-C antenna connector or BS type 1-H TAB connector using the parameters in tables 7.4.2.2-1, 7.4.2.2-2 and 7.4.2.2-3 for general blocking and narrowband blocking requirements. Narrowband blocking requirements are not applied for band n46, n96, n102 and n104. The reference measurement channel for the wanted signal is identified in clause 7.2.2 for each BS channel bandwidth and further specified in annex A.1. The characteristics of the interfering signal is further specified in annex D.

For NB-IoT operation in NR in-band, the throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel, with a wanted and an interfering signal coupled to BS type 1-C antenna connector using the parameters in tables 7.4.2.2-1, 7.4.2.2-2a and 7.4.2.2-3 for general blocking and narrowband blocking requirements.

7.6 Receiver spurious emissions

7.6.1 General

The receiver spurious emissions power is the power of emissions generated or amplified in a receiver unit that appear at the antenna connector (for BS type 1-C ) or at the TAB connector (for BS type 1-H ). The requirements apply to all BS with separate RX and TX antenna connectors / TAB connectors .

NOTE: In this case for FDD operation the test is performed when both TX and RX are ON, with the TX antenna connectors / TAB connectors terminated.

For a ntenna connectors / TAB connectors supporting both RX and TX in TDD, the requirements apply during the transmitter OFF period . For antenna connectors / TAB connectors supporting both RX and TX in FDD, the RX spurious emissions requirements are superseded by the TX spurious emissions requirements, as specified in clause 6.6.5.

For RX-only multi-band connectors , the spurious emissions requirements are subject to exclusion zones in each supported operating band . For multi-band connectors that both transmit and receive in operating band supporting TDD, RX spurious emissions requirements are applicable during the TX OFF period , and are subject to exclusion zones in each supported operating band .

For BS type 1-H manufacturer shall declare TAB connector RX min cell groups . Every TAB connector of BS type 1-H supporting reception in an operating band shall map to one TAB connector RX min cell group , where mapping of TAB connectors to cells/beams is implementation dependent.

The number of active receiver units that are considered when calculating the conducted RX spurious emission limits (N RXU,counted ) for BS type 1-H is calculated as follows:

N RXU,counted = min(N RXU,active , 8 × N cells )

N RXU,countedpercell is used for scaling of basic limits and is derived as N RXU,countedpercell = N RXU,counted / N cells , where N cells is defined in clause 6.1.

NOTE: N RXU,active is the number of actually active receiver units and is independent to the declaration of N cells .

7.6.2 Basic limits

The receiver spurious emissions basic limits are provided in table 7.6.2-1.

The Rx spurious emissions requirements shall apply to BS that support NR or NR with NB-IoT operation in NR in-band.

7.6.4 Minimum requirement for BS type 1-H

The RX spurious emissions requirements for BS type 1-H are that for each applicable basic limit specified in table 7.6.2-1 for each TAB connector RX min cell group, the power sum of emissions at respective TAB connectors shall not exceed the BS limits specified as the basic limit s + X, where X = 10log 10 (N RXU,countedpercell ), unless stated differently in regional regulation.

The RX spurious emission requirements are applied per the TAB connector RX min cell group for all the configurations supported by the BS.

NOTE: Conformance to the BS receiver spurious emissions requirement can be demonstrated by meeting at least one of the following criteria as determined by the manufacturer:

  1. The sum of the spurious emissions power measured on each TAB connector in the TAB connector RX min cell group shall be less than or equal to the BS limit above for the respective frequency span.

7.7.1 General

Third and higher order mixing of the two interfering RF signals can produce an interfering signal in the band of the desired channel. Intermodulation response rejection is a measure of the capability of the receiver to receive a wanted signal on its assigned channel frequency at the antenna connector for BS type 1-C or TAB connector for BS type 1-H in the presence of two interfering signals which have a specific frequency relationship to the wanted signal.

7.7.2 Minimum requirement for BS type 1-C and BS type 1-H

8 Conducted performance requirements

8.1 General

8.1.1 Scope and definitions

Conducted performance requirements specify the ability of the BS type 1-C or BS type 1-H to correctly demodulate signals in various conditions and configurations. Conducted performance requirements are specified at the antenna connector(s) (for BS type 1-C ) and at the TAB connector(s) (for BS type 1-H ).

Conducted performance requirements for the BS are specified for the fixed reference channels defined in annex A and the propagation conditions in annex G. The requirements only apply to those FRCs that are supported by the base station.

Unless stated otherwise, performance requirements apply for a single carrier only. Performance requirements for a BS supporting carrier aggregation are defined in terms of single carrier requirements.

For FDD operation the requirements in clause 8 shall be met with the transmitter units associated with antenna connectors (for BS type 1-C ) or TAB connectors (for BS type 1-H ) in the operating band turned ON.

NOTE: In normal operating conditions, antenna connector s (for BS type 1-C ) or TAB connectors (for BS type 1-H ) in FDD operation are configured to transmit and receive at the same time. The associated transmitter unit(s) may be OFF for some of the tests as specified in TS 38.141-1 [5].

The SNR used in this clause is specified based on a single carrier and defined as:

SNR = S / N

Where:

S is the total signal energy in the slot on a single antenna connector (for BS type 1-C ) or on a single TAB connector (for BS type 1-H ).

N is the noise energy in a bandwidth corresponding to the transmission bandwidth over the same duration where signal energy exists on a single antenna connector (for BS type 1-C ) or on a single TAB connector (for BS type 1-H ).

8.2.3 Requirements for UCI multiplexed on PUSCH

8.2.3.1 General

In the tests for UCI multiplexed on PUSCH, the UCI information only contains CSI part 1 and CSI part 2 information, and there is no HACK/ACK information transmitted.

The CSI part 1 block error probability (BLER) is defined as the probability of incorrectly decoding the CSI part 1 information when the CSI part 1 information is sent as follow:

BLERCSIpart1=#(falseCSIpart1)#(CSIpart1)BLER_{CSI part 1}= \frac{ \# (false CSI part 1)}{ \# (CSI part 1)}

where:

  • #(false CSI part 1) denotes the number of incorrectly decoded CSI part 1 information transmitted occasions

  • #(CSI part 1) denotes the number of CSI part 1 information transmitted occasions.

The CSI part 2 block error probability is defined as the probability of incorrectly decoding the CSI part 2 information when the CSI part 2 information is sent as follows:

BLERCSIpart2=#(falseCSIpart2)#(CSIpart2)BLER_{CSI part 2}= \frac{ \# (false CSI part 2)}{ \# (CSI part 2)}

where:

  • #(false CSI part 2) denotes the number of incorrectly decoded CSI part 2 information transmitted occasions

  • #(CSI part 2) denotes the number of CSI part 2 information transmitted occasions.

The number of UCI information bit payload per slot is defined for two cases as follows:

  • 5 bits in CSI part 1, 2 bits in CSI part 2

  • 20 bits in CSI part 1, 20 bits in CSI part 2

The 7bits UCI case is further defined with the bitmap [c0 c1 c2 c3 c4] = [0 1 0 1 0] for CSI part 1 information, where c0 is mapping to the RI information, and with the bitmap [c0 c1] = [1 0] for CSI part2 information.

The 40bits UCI information case is assumed random information bit selection.

In both tests, PUSCH data, CSI part 1 and CSI part 2 information are transmitted simultaneously.

8.2.11 Performance requirements for CG-UCI multiplexed on interlaced PUSCH

8.2.11.1 General

The performance requirement of CG-UCI multiplexed on interlaced PUSCH is determined by the parameter: block error probability (BLER) of CG-UCI. The performance is measured by the required SNR at block error probability of CG-UCI not exceeding 1%.

The CG-UCI BLER is defined as the probability of incorrectly decoding the CG-UCI information when the CG-UCI information is sent.

In the test of UCI multiplexed on interlaced PUSCH, the UCI information only contains CG-UCI information, there is no HACK/ACK, CSI part 1 or CSI part 2 information transmitted.

The number of UCI information bit payload per slot is defined as 18 bits.

The 18 bits UCI information case is further defined with the bitmap [c0 c1 c2 c3 c4 … c17] for CG-UCI information, where

  • [c0 c1 c2 c3] = [0 0 0 1] is mapping to the HARQ process number information,

  • [c4 c5] = [0 0] is mapping to the RV sequence information.

  • [c6] = [1] is mapping to the NDI information.

  • [c7 c8 … c17] = [0 0 … 0] is the COT sharing information field.

In the test, PUSCH data and CG-UCI are transmitted simultaneously.

9 Radiated transmitter characteristics

9.1 General

Radiated transmitter characteristics requirements apply on the BS type 1-H , BS type 1-O , or BS type 2-O including all its functional components active and for all foreseen modes of operation of the BS unless otherwise stated.

Unless stated otherwise, the requirements for BS type 1-H and BS type 1-O are applied for ATG BS type 1-H and 1-O , respectively.

9.2 Radiated transmit power

9.2.1 General

BS type 1-H, BS type 1-O and BS type 2-O are declared to support one or more beams, as per manufacturer’s declarations specified in TS 38.141-2 [6]. Radiated transmit power is defined as the EIRP level for a declared beam at a specific beam peak direction .

For each beam, the requirement is based on declaration of a beam identity, reference beam direction pair , beamwidth, rated beam EIRP , OTA peak directions set , the beam direction pairs at the maximum steering directions and their associated rated beam EIRP and beamwidth(s).

For a declared beam and beam direction pair , the rated beam EIRP level is the maximum power that the base station is declared to radiate at the associated beam peak direction during the transmitter ON period .

For each beam peak direction associated with a beam direction pair within the OTA peak directions set , a specific rated beam EIRP level may be claimed. Any claimed value shall be met within the accuracy requirement as described below. Rated beam EIRP is only required to be declared for the beam direction pairs subject to conformance testing as detailed in TS 38.141-2 [6].

NOTE 1: OTA peak directions set is set of beam peak directions for which the EIRP accuracy requirement is intended to be met. The beam peak directions are related to a corresponding contiguous range or discrete list of beam centre directions by the beam direction pairs included in the set.

NOTE 2: A beam direction pair is data set consisting of the beam centre direction and the related beam peak direction.

NOTE 3: A declared EIRP value is a value provided by the manufacturer for verification according to the conformance specification declaration requirements, whereas a claimed EIRP value is provided by the manufacturer to the equipment user for normal operation of the equipment and is not subject to formal conformance testing.

For operating bands where the supported fractional bandwidth (FBW) is larger than 6%, two rated carrier EIRP may be declared by manufacturer:

  • P rated,c,FBWlow for lower supported frequency range, and

  • P rated,c,FBWhigh for higher supported frequency range.

For frequencies in between F FBWlow and F FBWhigh the rated carrier EIRP is:

  • P rated,c,FBWlow, for the carrier whose carrier frequency is within frequency range F FBWlow ≤ f < (F FBWlow +F FBWhigh ) / 2,

  • P rated,c,FBWhigh, for the carrier whose carrier frequency is within frequency range (F FBWlow +F FBWhigh ) / 2 ≤ f ≤F FBWhigh .

For BS type 1-O there is no requirement specified for bands n46, n96, n100 and n101 and n102.

9.2.2 Minimum requirement for BS type 1-H and BS type 1-O

For each declared beam, in normal conditions, for any specific beam peak direction associated with a beam direction pair within the OTA peak directions set , a manufacturer claimed EIRP level in the corresponding beam peak direction shall be achievable to within ±2.2 dB of the claimed value.

For BS type 1-O only, for each declared beam, in extreme conditions, for any specific beam peak direction associated with a beam direction pair within the OTA peak directions set , a manufacturer claimed EIRP level in the corresponding beam peak direction shall be achievable to within ±2.7 dB of the claimed value.

Normal and extreme conditions are defined in TS 38.141-2, annex B [6].

In certain regions, the minimum requirement for normal conditions may apply also for some conditions outside the range of conditions defined as normal.

9.2.3 Minimum requirement for BS type 2-O

For each declared beam, in normal conditions, for any specific beam peak direction associated with a beam direction pair within the OTA peak directions set , a manufacturer claimed EIRP level in the corresponding beam peak direction shall be achievable to within ± 3.4 dB of the claimed value.

For each declared beam, in extreme conditions, for any specific beam peak direction associated with a beam direction pair within the OTA peak directions set , a manufacturer claimed EIRP level in the corresponding beam peak direction shall be achievable to within ±4.5 dB of the claimed value.

Normal and extreme conditions are defined in TS 38.141-2, annex B [6].

In certain regions, the minimum requirement for normal conditions may apply also for some conditions outside the range of conditions defined as normal.

9.3 OTA base station output power

9.3.1 General

OTA BS output power is declared as the TRP radiated requirement, with the output power accuracy requirement defined at the RIB during the transmitter ON period . TRP does not change with beamforming settings as long as the beam peak direction is within the OTA peak directions set . Thus the TRP accuracy requirement must be met for any beamforming setting for which the beam peak direction is within the OTA peak directions set .

The BS rated carrier TRP output power for BS type 1-O shall be within limits as specified in table 9.3.1-1.

9.7 OTA unwanted emissions

9.7.1 General

Unwanted emissions consist of so-called out-of-band emissions and spurious emissions according to ITU definitions ITU-R SM.329 [2]. In ITU terminology, out of band emissions are unwanted emissions immediately outside the BS channel bandwidth resulting from the modulation process and non-linearity in the transmitter but excluding spurious emissions. Spurious emissions are emissions which are caused by unwanted transmitter effects such as harmonics emission, parasitic emission, intermodulation products and frequency conversion products, but exclude out of band emissions.

The OTA out-of-band emissions requirement for the BS type 1-O and BS type 2-O transmitter is specified both in terms of Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR) and operating band unwanted emissions (OBUE). The OTA Operating band unwanted emissions define all unwanted emissions in each supported downlink operating band plus the frequency ranges Δf OBUE above and Δf OBUE below each band. OTA Unwanted emissions outside of this frequency range are limited by an OTA spurious emissions requirement.

The maximum offset of the operating band unwanted emissions mask from the operating band edge is Δf OBUE . The value of Δf OBUE is defined in table 9.7.1-1 for BS type 1-O and BS type 2-O for the NR operating bands .

Table 9.7.1-1: Maximum offset Δf OBUE outside the downlink operating band

BS type Operating band characteristics (MHz) Δf OBUE (MHz)
BS type 1-O F DL,high – F DL,low < 100 10
100 MHz ≤ F DL,high – F DL,low ≤ 900 40
BS type 2-O F DL,high – F DL,low ≤ 4000 1500
BS type 2-O 4000 < F DL,high – F DL,low ≤ 14000 3500

The unwanted emission requirements are applied per cell for all the configurations. Requirements for OTA unwanted emissions are captured using TRP, directional requirements or co-location requirements as described per requirement.

There is in addition a requirement for occupied bandwidth.

For band n104, the values of Δf OBUE are defined in table 9.7.1-1a.

Table 9.7.1-1a: Maximum offset of OBUE outside the downlink operating band for band n104

BS type Operating band Δf OBUE (MHz)
BS type 1-O n104 100

9.7.2 OTA occupied bandwidth

9.7.2.1 General

The OTA occupied bandwidth is the width of a frequency band such that, below the lower and above the upper frequency limits, the mean powers emitted are each equal to a specified percentage /2 of the total mean transmitted power. See also recommendation ITU-R SM.328 [3].

The value of /2 shall be taken as 0.5%.

The OTA occupied bandwidth requirement shall apply during the transmitter ON period for a single transmitted carrier. The minimum requirement below may be applied regionally. There may also be regional requirements to declare the OTA occupied bandwidth according to the definition in the present clause.

The OTA occupied bandwidth is defined as a directional requirement and shall be met in the manufacturer’s declared OTA coverage range at the RIB.

9.7.2.2 Minimum requirement for BS type 1-O and BS type 2-O

The OTA occupied bandwidth for each NR carrier shall be less than the BS channel bandwidth . For intra-band contiguous CA, the OTA occupied bandwidth shall be less than or equal to the Aggregated BS Channel Bandwidth .

If the BS supports LP-WUS operation, the occupied bandwidth for each NR carrier with LP-WUS shall be less than the BS channel bandwidth .

9.7.3 OTA Adjacent Channel Leakage Power Ratio (ACLR)

9.7.3.1 General

OTA Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR) is the ratio of the filtered mean power centred on the assigned channel frequency to the filtered mean power centred on an adjacent channel frequency. The measured power is TRP.

The requirement shall be applied per RIB during the transmitter ON period .

The requirements shall also apply if the BS supports LP-WUS operation.

9.7.3.2 Minimum requirement for BS type 1-O

The ACLR (CACLR) absolute basic limits in table 6.6.3.2-2 + X, 6.6.3.2-3a + X (where X = 9 dB) or the ACLR (CACLR) basic limit in table 6.6.3.2-1, 6.6.3.2-2a or 6.6.3.2-3, whichever is less stringent, shall apply.

For a RIB operating in multi-carrier or contiguous CA, the ACLR requirements in clause 6.6.3.2 shall apply to BS channel bandwidths of the outermost carrier for the frequency ranges defined in table 6.6.3.2-1.For a RIB operating in non-contiguous spectrum , the ACLR requirement in clause 6.6.3.2 shall apply in sub-block gaps for the frequency ranges defined in table 6.6.3.2-2a, while the CACLR requirement in clause 6.6.3.2 shall apply in sub-block gaps for the frequency ranges defined in table 6.6.3.2-3.

9.8 OTA transmitter intermodulation

9.8.1 General

The OTA transmitter intermodulation requirement is a measure of the capability of the transmitter unit to inhibit the generation of signals in its non-linear elements caused by presence of the wanted signal and an interfering signal reaching the transmitter unit via the RDN and antenna array from a co-located base station. The requirement shall apply during the transmitter ON period and the transmitter transient period .

The requirement shall apply at each RIB supporting transmission in the operating band .

The transmitter intermodulation level is the total radiated power of the intermodulation products when an interfering signal is injected into the co-location reference antenna .

The OTA transmitter intermodulation requirement is not applicable for BS type 2-O .

The requirements shall also apply if the BS supports LP-WUS operation.

9.8.2 Minimum requirement for BS type 1-O

For BS type 1-O the transmitter intermodulation level shall not exceed the TRP unwanted emission limits specified for OTA transmitter spurious emission in clause 9.7.5.2 (except clause 9.7.5.2.3 and clause 9.7.5.2.5), OTA operating band unwanted emissions in clause 9.7.4.2 and OTA ACLR in clause 9.7.3.2 in the presence of a wanted signal and an interfering signal, defined in table 9.8.2-1.

The requirement is applicable outside the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges . The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges or Radio Bandwidth edges.

For RIBs supporting operation in non-contiguous spectrum , the requirement is also applicable inside a sub-block gap for interfering signal offsets where the interfering signal falls completely within the sub-block gap . The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the sub-block edges.

For RIBs supporting operation in multiple operating bands , the requirement shall apply relative to the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges of each operating band . In case the inter RF Bandwidth gap is less than 3*BW Channel (where BW Channel is the minimal BS channel bandwidth of the band), the requirement in the gap shall apply only for interfering signal offsets where the interfering signal falls completely within the inter RF Bandwidth gap .

Table 9.8.2-1: Interfering and wanted signals for the OTA transmitter intermodulation requirement

Parameter Value
Wanted signal NR single carrier, or multiple intra-band contiguously or non-contiguously aggregated carriers
Interfering signal type NR signal the minimum BS channel bandwidth (BW Channel ) with 15 kHz SCS of the band defined in clause 5.3.5
Interfering signal power level min(46 dBm, P rated,t,TRP )
Interfering signal centre frequency offset from the lower (upper) edge of the wanted signal or edge of sub-block inside a gap foffset=±BWChannel(n−12)f_{offset}= \pm BW_{Channel}\left(n-\frac{1}{2}\right), for n=1, 2 and 3
NOTE 1: Interfering signal positions that are partially or completely outside of any downlink operating band of the RIB are excluded from the requirement, unless the interfering signal positions fall within the frequency range of adjacent downlink operating bands in the same geographical area. In case that none of the interfering signal positions fall completely within the frequency range of the downlink operating band , TS 38.141-2 [6] provides further guidance regarding appropriate test requirements.

10 Radiated receiver characteristics

10.1 General

Radiated receiver characteristics are specified at RIB for BS type 1-H , BS type 1-O , or BS type 2-O , with full complement of transceivers for the configuration in normal operating condition.

Unless otherwise stated, the following arrangements apply for the radiated receiver characteristics requirements in clause 10:

  • Requirements apply during the BS receive period.

  • Requirements shall be met for any transmitter setting.

  • For FDD operation the requirements shall be met with the transmitter unit(s) ON.

  • Throughput requirements defined for the radiated receiver characteristics do not assume HARQ retransmissions.

  • When BS is configured to receive multiple carriers, all the throughput requirements are applicable for each received carrier.

  • For ACS, blocking and intermodulation characteristics, the negative offsets of the interfering signal apply relative to the lower Base Station RF Bandwidth edge or sub-block edge inside a sub-block gap , and the positive offsets of the interfering signal apply relative to the upper Base Station RF Bandwidth edge or sub-block edge inside a sub-block gap .

  • Each requirement shall be met over the RoAoA specified.

NOTE 1: In normal operating condition the BS in FDD operation is configured to transmit and receive at the same time.

NOTE 2: In normal operating condition the BS in TDD operation is configured to TX OFF power during receive period .

For FR1 requirements which are to be met over the OTA REFSENS RoAoA absolute requirement values are offset by the following term:

Δ OTAREFSENS = 44.1 - 10log 10 (BeW θ,REFSENS BeW φ,REFSENS ) dB for the reference direction

and

Δ OTAREFSENS = 41.1 - 10log 10 (BeW θ,REFSENS BeW φ,REFSENS ) dB for all other directions

For requirements which are to be met over the minSENS RoAoA absolute requirement values are offset by the following term:

Δ minSENS = P REFSENS – EIS minSENS (dB)

For FR2 requirements which are to be met over the OTA REFSENS RoAoA absolute requirement values are offset by the following term:

Δ FR2_REFSENS = -3 dB for the reference direction

and

Δ FR2_REFSENS = 0 dB for all other directions

Unless stated otherwise, the requirements for BS type 1-H and BS type 1-O are applied for ATG BS type 1-H and 1-O , respectively.

10.2 OTA sensitivity

10.2.1 BS type 1-H and BS type 1-O

10.2.1.1 General

The OTA sensitivity requirement is a directional requirement based upon the declaration of one or more OTA sensitivity direction declarations (OSDD), related to a BS type 1-H and BS type 1-O receiver.

The BS type 1-H and BS type 1-O may optionally be capable of redirecting/changing the receiver target by means of adjusting BS settings resulting in multiple sensitivity RoAoA . The sensitivity RoAoA resulting from the current BS settings is the active sensitivity RoAoA .

If the BS is capable of redirecting the receiver target related to the OSDD then the OSDD shall include:

  • BS channel bandwidth and declared minimum EIS level applicable to any active sensitivity RoAoA inside the receiver target redirection range in the OSDD.

  • A declared receiver target redirection range , describing all the angles of arrival that can be addressed for the OSDD through alternative settings in the BS.

  • Five declared sensitivity RoAoA comprising the conformance testing directions as detailed in TS 38.141-2 [6].

  • The receiver target reference direction .

NOTE 1: Some of the declared sensitivity RoAoA may coincide depending on the redirection capability.

NOTE 2: In addition to the declared sensitivity RoAoA , several sensitivity RoAoA may be implicitly defined by the receiver target redirection range without being explicitly declared in the OSDD.

NOTE 3: (Void)

If the BS is not capable of redirecting the receiver target related to the OSDD, then the OSDD includes only:

  • The set(s) of RAT, BS channel bandwidth and declared minimum EIS level applicable to the sensitivity RoAoA in the OSDD.

  • One declared active sensitivity RoAoA .

  • The receiver target reference direction .

NOTE 4: For BS without target redirection capability, the declared (fixed) sensitivity RoAoA is always the active sensitivity RoAoA .

The OTA sensitivity EIS level declaration shall apply to each supported polarization, under the assumption of polarization match .

10.2.1.2 Minimum requirement

For a received signal whose AoA of the incident wave is within the active sensitivity RoAoA of an OSDD, the error rate criterion as described in clause 7.2 shall be met when the level of the arriving signal is equal to the minimum EIS level in the respective declared set of EIS level and BS channel bandwidth .

10.2.2 BS type 2-O

There is no OTA sensitivity requirement for FR2, the OTA sensitivity is the same as the OTA reference sensitivity in clause 10.3.

10.3 OTA reference sensitivity level

10.3.1 General

The OTA REFSENS requirement is a directional requirement and is intended to ensure the minimum OTA reference sensitivity level for a declared OTA REFSENS RoAoA . The OTA reference sensitivity power level EIS REFSENS is the minimum mean power received at the RIB at which a reference performance requirement shall be met for a specified reference measurement channel.

The OTA REFSENS requirement shall apply to each supported polarization, under the assumption of polarization match .

10.3.2 Minimum requirement for BS type 1-O

The throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel as specified in the corresponding table and annex A.1 when the OTA test signal is at the corresponding EIS REFSENS level and arrives from any direction within the OTA REFSENS RoAoA.

For Wide Area BS, EIS REFSENS_50M is an integer value in the range -96 to -119 dBm. The specific value is declared by the vendor.

For Medium Range BS, EIS REFSENS_50M is an integer value in the range -91 to -114 dBm. The specific value is declared by the vendor.

For Local Area BS, EIS REFSENS_50M is an integer value in the range -86 to -109 dBm. The specific value is declared by the vendor.

10.7 OTA receiver spurious emissions

10.7.1 General

The OTA RX spurious emission is the power of the emissions radiated from the antenna array from a receiver unit.

The metric used to capture OTA receiver spurious emissions for BS type 1-O and BS type 2-O is total radiated power (TRP), with the requirement defined at the RIB.

10.7.2 Minimum requirement for BS type 1-O

For a BS operating in FDD, OTA RX spurious emissions requirement do not apply as they are superseded by the OTA TX spurious emissions requirement. This is due to the fact that TX and RX spurious emissions cannot be distinguished in OTA domain.

For a BS operating in TDD, the OTA RX spurious emissions requirement shall apply during the transmitter OFF period only.

For RX only multi-band RIB , the OTA RX spurious emissions requirements are subject to exclusion zones in each supported operating band .

The OTA RX spurious emissions requirement for BS type 1-O is that for each basic limit specified in table 10.7.2-1 , the power sum of emissions at the RIB shall not exceed limits specified as the basic limit + X, where X = 9 dB, unless stated differently in regional regulation.

10.8 OTA receiver intermodulation

10.8.1 General

Third and higher order mixing of the two interfering RF signals can produce an interfering signal in the band of the desired channel. Intermodulation response rejection is a measure of the capability of the receiver unit to receive a wanted signal on its assigned channel frequency in the presence of two interfering signals which have a specific frequency relationship to the wanted signal. The requirement is defined as a directional requirement at the RIB .

  • when the wanted signal is based on EIS REFSENS : the AoA of the incident wave of a received signal and the interfering signal are within the OTA REFSENS RoAoA.

  • when the wanted signal is based on EIS minSENS : the AoA of the incident wave of a received signal and the interfering signal are within the minSENS RoAoA .

The wanted and interfering signals apply to each supported polarization, under the assumption of polarization match .

The throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel, with a wanted signal at the assigned channel frequency and two interfering signals at the RIB with the conditions specified in tables 10.8.2-1 and 10.8.2-2 for intermodulation performance and in tables 10.8.2-3 and 10.8.2-4 for narrowband intermodulation performance.

The subcarrier spacing for the modulated interfering signal shall be the same as the subcarrier spacing for the wanted signal, except for the case of wanted signal subcarrier spacing 60kHz and BS channel bandwidth <=20MHz, for which the subcarrier spacing of the interfering signal shall be 30kHz.

The receiver intermodulation requirement is applicable outside the Base Station RF Bandwidth or Radio Bandwidth edges . The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges or Radio Bandwidth edges .

For a RIBs supporting operation in non-contiguous spectrum within any operating band , the narrowband intermodulation requirement shall apply in addition inside any sub-block gap in case the sub-block gap is at least as wide as the BS channel bandwidth of the NR interfering signal in tables 10.8.2-2 and 10.8.2-4. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the sub-block edges inside the sub-block gap .

For multi-band RIBs , the intermodulation requirement shall apply in addition inside any Inter RF Bandwidth gap , in case the gap size is at least twice as wide as the NR interfering signal centre frequency offset from the Base Station RF Bandwidth edge .

For multi-band RIBs , the narrowband intermodulation requirement shall apply in addition inside any Inter RF Bandwidth gap in case the gap size is at least as wide as the NR interfering signal in tables 10.8.2-2 and 10.8.2-4.

10.9 OTA in-channel selectivity

10.9.1 General

In-channel selectivity (ICS) is a measure of the receiver ability to receive a wanted signal at its assigned resource block locations in the presence of an interfering signal received at a larger power spectral density. In this condition a throughput requirement shall be met for a specified reference measurement channel. The interfering signal shall be an NR signal as specified in annex A.1 and shall be time aligned with the wanted signal.

10.9.2 Minimum requirement for BS type 1-O

The requirement shall apply at the RIB when the AoA of the incident wave of the received signal and the interfering signal are the same direction and are within the minSENS RoAoA

The wanted and interfering signals applies to each supported polarization, under the assumption of polarization match.

For BS type 1-O , the throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel as specified in annex A.1 with parameters specified:

  • In table 10.9.2-1 for Wide Area BS, in table 10.9.2-2 for Medium Range BS and in table 10.9.2-3 for Local Area BS except in operating band n104.

11 Radiated performance requirements

11.1 General

11.1.1 Scope and definitions

Radiated performance requirements specify the ability of the BS type 1-O or BS type 2-O to correctly demodulate radiated signals in various conditions and configurations. Radiated performance requirements are specified at the RIB.

Radiated performance requirements for the BS are specified for the fixed reference channels defined in annex A and the propagation conditions in annex G. The requirements only apply to those FRCs that are supported by the BS.

The radiated performance requirements for BS type 1-O and for the BS type 2-O are limited to two OTA demodulation branches as described in clause 11.1.2. Conformance requirements can only be tested for 1 or 2 demodulation branches depending on the number of polarizations supported by the BS, with the required SNR applied separately per polarization.

NOTE 1: The BS can support more than 2 demodulation branches , however OTA conformance testing can only be performed for 1 or 2 demodulation branches .

Unless stated otherwise, radiated performance requirements apply for a single carrier only. Radiated performance requirements for a BS supporting CA are defined in terms of single carrier requirements.

For BS type 1-O in FDD operation the requirements in clause 8 shall be met with the transmitter units associated with the RIB in the operating band turned ON.

NOTE 2: BS type 1-O in normal operating conditions in FDD operation is configured to transmit and receive at the same time. The transmitter unit(s) associated with the RIB may be OFF for some of the tests.

In tests performed with signal generators a synchronization signal may be provided from the BS to the signal generator, to enable correct timing of the wanted signal.

Whenever the “RX antennas” term is used for the radiated performance requirements description, it shall refer to the demodulation branches (i.e. not physical antennas of the antenna array).

The SNR used in this clause is specified based on a single carrier and defined as:

SNR = S / N

Where:

S is the total signal energy in a slot on a RIB.

N is the noise energy in a bandwidth corresponding to the transmission bandwidth over the duration where signal energy exists on a RIB.

11.1.2 OTA demodulation branches

Radiated performance requirements are only specified for up to 2 demodulation branches .

If the BS type 1-O , or the BS type 2-O uses polarization diversity and has the ability to maintain isolation between the signals for each of the demodulation branches , then radiated performance requirements can be tested for up to two demodulation branches (i.e. 1RX or 2RX test setups). When tested for two demodulation branches , each demodulation branch maps to one polarization.

If the BS type 1-O , or the BS type 2-O does not use polarization diversity then radiated performance requirements can only be tested for a single demodulation branch (i.e. 1RX test setup).

11.2.2.3 Requirements for UCI multiplexed on PUSCH
11.2.2.3.1 General

In the tests for UCI multiplexed on PUSCH, the UCI information only contains CSI part 1 and CSI part 2 information, and there is no HACK/ACK information transmitted.

The CSI part 1 block error probability (BLER) is defined as the probability of incorrectly decoding the CSI part 1 information when the CSI part 1 information is sent as follow:

BLERCSIpart1=#(falseCSIpart1)#(CSIpart1)BLER_{CSI part 1}= \frac{ \# (false CSI part 1)}{ \# (CSI part 1)}

where:

  • #(false CSI part 1) denotes the number of incorrectly decoded CSI part 1 information transmitted occasions

  • #(CSI part 1) denotes the number of CSI part 1information transmitted occasions.

The CSI part 2 block error probability is defined as the probability of incorrectly decoding the CSI part 2 information when the CSI part 2 information is sent as follows:

BLERCSIpart2=#(falseCSIpart2)#(CSIpart2)BLER_{CSI part 2}= \frac{ \# (false CSI part 2)}{ \# (CSI part 2)}

where:

  • #(false CSI part 2) denotes the number of incorrectly decoded CSI part 2 information transmitted occasions

  • #(CSI part 2) denotes the number of CSI part 2 information transmitted occasions.

The number of UCI information bit payload per slot is defined for two cases as follows:

  • 5 bits in CSI part 1, 2 bits in CSI part 2

  • 20 bits in CSI part 1, 20 bits in CSI part 2

The 7bits UCI case is further defined with the bitmap [c0 c1 c2 c3 c4] = [0 1 0 1 0] for CSI part 1 information, where c0 is mapping to the RI information, and with the bitmap [c0 c1] = [1 0] for CSI part2 information.

The 40bits UCI information case is assumed random information bits selection.

In both tests, PUSCH data, CSI part 1 and CSI part 2 information are transmitted simultaneously.

11.2.2.4.1 General

The performance requirement of PUSCH for 2-step RA type is determined by a minimum required block error rate of MsgA for a given SNR for the FRCs listed in annex A. The performance requirements assume that the precedent preamble of MsgA is correctly detected in a 2-step RA type procedure and no HARQ retransmissions.

The performance requirements are applicable for wide area and medium range BS that support 2-step RA type. The performance requirements are not applied for a local area BS that supports 2-step RA type.

11.4.2.1 PRACH False alarm probability
11.4.2.1.1 General

The false alarm requirement is valid for any number of receive antennas, for any channel bandwidth.

The false alarm probability is the conditional total probability of erroneous detection of the preamble (i.e. erroneous detection from any detector) when input is only noise.

11.4.2.1.2 Minimum requirement

The false alarm probability shall be less than or equal to 0.1%.

11.4.2.2 PRACH detection requirements
11.4.2.2.1 General

The probability of detection is the conditional probability of correct detection of the preamble when the signal is present. There are several error cases – detecting different preamble than the one that was sent, not detecting a preamble at all or correct preamble detection but with the wrong timing estimation. For AWGN and TDLA30-300, a timing estimation error occurs if the estimation error of the timing of the strongest path is larger than the time error tolerance given in Table 11.4.2.2-1.

The performance requirements for high speed train (table 11.4.2.2.3-1) are optional and only applicable for FR2-1 below 30GHz.

12.1.2 General SBFD-capable BS Operating Requirements

An SBFD-capable BS may operate in either single-carrier mode or multi-carrier mode within a single band. In multi-carrier mode, SBFD shall be implemented on only one SBFD carrier regardless of the number of supported carriers within the frequency band.

An SBFD-capable BS shall only operate in SBFD subband configurations (i.e., DL/UL subbands) that have been declared in accordance with the provisions in this specification.

The RF requirements for SBFD-capable BS have been derived based on the simulation assumption that only SBFD-capable BSs are deployed with the identical SBFD configuration under each BS class in the same geographical area.

BS Class Rated Output Power (P SBFD,rated,c,sys ) SBFD BS type
FR1 WA BS – Configuration-limited
FR1 MR BS ≥ 36 dBm Configuration-limited
FR1 MR BS < 36 dBm Configuration-flexible
FR1 LA BS – Configuration-flexible
FR2 WA BS – Configuration-flexible
FR2 LA BS – Configuration-flexible

For example, a UD 20-80 MHz and a DU 80-20 MHz configuration shall be counted as two SBFD subband configurations.

For each supported channel bandwidth and for each supported UL subband size: Only one DL subband size may be declared and tested for the DU/UD pattern. Only one DL subband size may be declared and tested for the DUD pattern.

A configuration-limited SBFD-capable BS shall not operate in any declared SBFD configuration (i.e., DL/UL subband) unless it has been tested.

Radiated performance requirements are specified at the RIB. Radiated performance requirements for the BS are specified for the fixed reference channels defined in annex A and the propagation conditions in annex G. The requirements only apply to those FRCs that are supported by the BS.The radiated performance requirements for SBFD-capable BS type 1-O and for the SBFD-capable BS type 2-O are limited to two OTA demodulation branches as described in clause 12.7.1.2. Conformance requirements can only be tested for 1 or 2 demodulation branches depending on the number of polarizations supported by the BS, with the required SNR applied separately per polarization.NOTE 1: The BS can support more than 2 demodulation branches , however OTA conformance testing can only be performed for 1 or 2 demodulation branches . Unless stated otherwise, radiated performance requirements apply for a single carrier only. Radiated performance requirements for a BS supporting CA are defined in terms of single carrier requirements. In tests performed with signal generators a synchronization signal may be provided from the BS to the signal generator, to enable correct timing of the wanted signal.Whenever the “RX antennas” term is used for the radiated performance requirements description, it shall refer to the demodulation branches (i.e. not physical antennas of the antenna array). The SNR used in this clause is specified based on a single carrier and defined as: SNR = S / N Where: S is the total signal energy in a slot on a RIB.N is the noise energy in a bandwidth corresponding to the transmission bandwidth over the duration where signal energy exists on a RIB. ##### 12.7.1.2 OTA demodulation branchesRadiated performance requirements are only specified for up to 2 demodulation branches .If the SBFD-capable BS type 1-O , or the SBFD-capable BS type 2-O uses polarization diversity and has the ability to maintain isolation between the signals for each of the demodulation branches , then radiated performance requirements can be tested for up to two demodulation branches (i.e., 1RX or 2RX test setups). When tested for two demodulation branches , each demodulation branch maps to one polarization.If the SBFD-capable BS type 1-O , or the SBFD-capable BS type 2-O does not use polarization diversity then radiated performance requirements can only be tested for a single demodulation branch (i.e., 1RX test setup). ##### 12.7.1.3 Void #### 12.7.2 Performance requirements for PUSCH ##### 12.7.2.1

Annex B (normative):

Error Vector Magnitude (FR1)

B.1 Reference point for measurement

The EVM shall be measured at the point after the FFT and a zero-forcing (ZF) equalizer in the receiver, as depicted in figure B.1-1 below. Image Figure B.1-1: Reference point for EVM measurement

B.2 Basic unit of measurementThe basic unit of EVM measurement is defined over one slot in the time domain and NBWRBN_{BW}^{RB} subcarriers in the frequency domain:

EVM=∑t∈T∑f∈F(t)∣Z′(t,f)−I(t,f)∣2∑t∈T∑f∈F(t)∣I(t,f)∣2EVM=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{t \in T}^{}\sum_{f \in F(t)}^{}\left|Z'(t,f)-I(t,f)\right|^{2}}{\sum_{t \in T}^{}\sum_{f \in F(t)}^{}\left|I(t,f)\right|^{2}}}

whereT is the set of symbols with the considered modulation scheme being active within the slot,F(t)F(t) is the set of subcarriers within the NBWRBN_{BW}^{RB} subcarriers with the considered modulation scheme being active in symbol t,I(t,f)I(t,f) is the ideal signal reconstructed by the measurement equipment in accordance with relevant Tx models,Z′(t,f)Z'(t,f) is the modified signal under test defined in annex B.3. NOTE: Although the basic unit of measurement is one slot, the equalizer is calculated over 10 ms measurement interval to reduce the impact of noise in the reference signals. The boundaries of the 10 ms measurement intervals need not be aligned with radio frame boundaries.

B.3 Modified signal under test

Implicit in the definition of EVM is an assumption that the receiver is able to compensate a number of transmitter impairments. The signal under test is equalized and decoded according to:

B.6 Estimation of TX chain amplitude and frequency response parameters

Image

Image The equalizer coefficients and are determined as follows: Image

Image

  1. Calculate the complex ratios (amplitude and phase) of the post-FFT acquired signal and the post-FFT ideal signal , for each reference signal, over 10ms measurement interval. This process creates a set of complex ratios: Image Image Where the post-FFT ideal signal is constructed by the measuring equipment according to the relevant TX specifications, using the following parameters: i.e. nominal demodulation reference signals, (all other modulation symbols are set to 0 V), nominal carrier frequency, nominal amplitude and phase for each applicable subcarrier, nominal timing. Image

Image2. Perform time averaging at each reference signal subcarrier of the complex ratios, the time-averaging length is 10ms measurement interval. Prior to the averaging of the phases an unwrap operation must be performed according to the following definition: The unwrap operation corrects the radian phase angles of by adding multiples of 2*PI when absolute phase jumps between consecutive time instances t i are greater than or equal to the jump tolerance of PI radians. This process creates an average amplitude and phase for each reference signal subcarrier (i.e. every second subcarrier). Image Image ImageWhere N is the number of reference signal; time-domain locations ti from Z′(t,f)Z'\left(t,f\right) for each reference signal subcarrier . Image

Image 3. The equalizer coefficients for amplitude and phase and at the reference signal subcarriers are obtained by computing the moving average in the frequency domain of the time-averaged reference signal subcarriers, i.e. every second subcarrier. The moving average window size is 19 and averaging is over the DM-RS subcarriers in the allocated RBs. For DM-RS subcarriers at or near the edge of the channel , or when the number of available DM-RS subcarriers within a set of contiguously allocated RBs is smaller than the moving average window size, the window size is reduced accordingly as per figure B.6-1. Image

B.9 Interference model for enhanced performance requirements for PUSCH with synchronous interference

B.9.1 Interference to Noise ratio (INR)

Each inter-cell interferer involved in enhanced performance requirements is characterized by its associated interferer to noise ratio (INR) value:

INRi=IiNINR_{i}=\frac{I_{i}}{N}
where IiI_{i} is the is the total signal energy in the slot from the i-th interfering PUSCH involved in the requirement scenario and N is the noise energy with definition provided in section 8.1.

B.9.2 Interference model for synchronous scenario

This clause provides interference modelling for each explicitly modelled inter-cell interferer in the requirement scenario where the inter-cell interferer(s) are time-synchronous with the tested signal. In each subframe, each interferer shall transmit 16QAM randomly modulated data over the entire PUSCH region and the same resource blocks as the tested signal. The demodulation reference signal (DM-RS), configured according to Table 8.2.16.1-1 for enhanced performance requirements is transmitted associated with the transmission of PUSCH.

Annex C (normative):

Error Vector Magnitude (FR2)

C.1 Reference point for measurement

The EVM shall be measured at the point after the FFT and a zero-forcing (ZF) equalizer in the receiver, as depicted in figure C.1-1 below. Image Figure C.1-1: Reference point for EVM measurement

C.2 Basic unit of measurementThe basic unit of EVM measurement is defined over one slot in the time domain and NBWRBN_{BW}^{RB} subcarriers in the frequency domain:

EVM=∑t∈T∑f∈F(t)∣Z′(t,f)−I(t,f)∣2∑t∈T∑f∈F(t)∣I(t,f)∣2EVM=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{t \in T}^{}\sum_{f \in F(t)}^{}\left|Z'(t,f)-I(t,f)\right|^{2}}{\sum_{t \in T}^{}\sum_{f \in F(t)}^{}\left|I(t,f)\right|^{2}}}

whereTT is the set of symbols with the considered modulation scheme being active within the slot,F(t)F(t) is the set of subcarriers within the NBWRBN_{BW}^{RB} subcarriers with the considered modulation scheme being active in symbol t,I(t,f)I(t,f) is the ideal signal reconstructed by the measurement equipment in accordance with relevant Tx models,Z′(t,f)Z'(t,f) is the modified signal under test defined in C.3. NOTE: Although the basic unit of measurement is one slot, the equalizer is calculated over 10 ms measurement intervals to reduce the impact of noise in the reference signals. The boundaries of the 10 ms measurement intervals need not be aligned with radio frame boundaries.

C.3 Modified signal under test

Implicit in the definition of EVM is an assumption that the receiver is able to compensate a number of transmitter impairments. The signal under test is equalized and decoded according to:

Z′(t,f)=FFT{z(v−Δt~)⋅e−j2πΔf~v}.ej2πfΔt~a~(f)⋅ejϕ~(f)Z'(t,f)=\frac{FFT\left\{z(v- \Delta \tilde{t}) \cdot e^{-j2 \pi \Delta \tilde{f}v}\right\}.e^{j2 \pi f \Delta \tilde{t}}}{\tilde{a}(f) \cdot e^{j\tilde{ \phi }(f)}}
wherez(v)z(v) is the time domain samples of the signal under test.Δt~\Delta \tilde{t} is the sample timing difference between the FFT processing window in relation to nominal timing of the ideal signal. Note that two timing offsets are determined, the corresponding EVM is measured and the maximum used as described in C.7.Δf~\Delta \tilde{f} is the RF frequency offset.ϕ~(f)\tilde{ \phi }(f) is the phase response of the TX chain.a~(f)\tilde{a}(f) is the amplitude response of the TX chain.

C.4 Estimation of frequency offsetThe observation period for determining the frequency offset Δf~\Delta \tilde{f} shall be 1 slot.

C.5 Estimation of time offset

C.5.1 GeneralThe observation period for determining the sample timing difference Δt~\Delta \tilde{t} shall be 1 slot.In the following Δc~\Delta \tilde{c} represents the middle sample of the EVM window of length WW (defined in C.5.2) or the last sample of the first window half if WW is even.Δc~\Delta \tilde{c} is estimated so that the EVM window of length WW is centred on the measured cyclic prefix of the considered OFDM symbol. To minimize the estimation error the timing shall be based on the reference signals. To limit time distortion of any transmit filter the reference signals in the 1 outer RBs are not taken into account in the timing estimationTwo values for Δt~\Delta \tilde{t} are determined:Δt~l=Δc~+α−⌊W2⌋\Delta \tilde{t}_{l}= \Delta \tilde{c}+ \alpha -\left\lfloor \frac{W}{2}\right\rfloor andΔt~h=Δc~+⌊W2⌋\Delta \tilde{t}_{h}= \Delta \tilde{c}+\left\lfloor \frac{W}{2}\right\rfloor where α=0\alpha =0 if WW is odd and α=1\alpha =1 if WW is even.When the cyclic prefix length varies from symbol to symbol then TT shall be further restricted to the subset of symbols with the considered modulation scheme being active and with the considered cyclic prefix length type.

C.6 Estimation of TX chain amplitude and frequency response parameters

Image The equalizer coefficients and are determined as follows: Image

Image

  1. Calculate the complex ratios (amplitude and phase) of the post-FFT acquired signal and the post-FFT ideal signal , for each reference signal, over 10ms measurement intervals. This process creates a set of complex ratios: Image Image Where the post-FFT ideal signal is constructed by the measuring equipment according to the relevant TX specifications, using the following parameters:
  • nominal demodulation reference signals and nominal PT-RS if present (all other modulation symbols are set to 0 V),
  • nominal carrier frequency,
  • nominal amplitude and phase for each applicable subcarrier,
  • nominal timing. Image

Image2. Perform time averaging at each reference signal subcarrier of the complex ratios, the time-averaging length is 10ms measurement interval. Prior to the averaging of the phases an unwrap operation must be performed according to the following definition: The unwrap operation corrects the radian phase angles of by adding multiples of 2*PI when absolute phase jumps between consecutive time instances t i are greater than or equal to the jump tolerance of PI radians. This process creates an average amplitude and phase for each reference signal subcarrier (i.e. every second subcarrier).

a(f)=∑i=1Na(ti,f)Na\left(f\right)=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{N}a\left(t_{i},f\right)}{N}
φ(f)=∑i=1Nφ(ti,f)N\varphi \left(f\right)=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{N} \varphi \left(t_{i},f\right)}{N}
ImageWhere N is the number of reference signal time-domain locations ti from Z′(t,f)Z'\left(t,f\right) for each reference signal subcarrier . Image

Image 3. The equalizer coefficients for amplitude and phase and at the reference signal subcarriers are obtained by computing the moving average in the frequency domain of the time-averaged reference signal subcarriers, i.e. every second subcarrier. The moving average window size is 19 and averaging is over the DM-RS subcarriers in allocated RBs. For DM-RS subcarriers at or near the edge of the channel, or when the number of available DM-RS subcarriers within a set of contiguously allocated RBs is smaller than the moving average window size, the window size is reduced accordingly as per figure C.6-1. Image

Image4.Perform linear interpolation from the equalizer coefficients and to compute coefficients , for each subcarrier. To account for the common phase error (CPE) experienced in millimetre wave frequencies, φ‾(f)\overline{ \varphi }(f) , in the estimated coefficients contain phase rotation due to the CPE, θ\theta , in addition to the phase of the equalizer coefficient φ~(f)\tilde{ \varphi }\left(f\right) , that is

φ‾(f)=φ~(f)+θ(t)\overline{ \varphi }\left(f\right)=\tilde{ \varphi }\left(f\right)+ \theta (t)
For OFDM symbols where PT-RS does not exist, θ(t)\theta (t) can be estimated by performing linear interpolation from neighboring symbols where PT-RS is present.In order to separate component of the CPE, θ\theta , contained in, φ‾(f)\overline{ \varphi }(f) , estimation and compensation of the CPE needs to follow. θ(t)\theta (t) is the common phase error (CPE), that rotates all the subcarriers of the OFDM symbol at time tt .Estimate of the CPE, θ(t)\theta (t) , at OFDM symbol time, tt , can then be obtained from using the PT-RS employing the expression
θ~(t)=arg{∑f∈fptrs(Z′(t,f)Iptrs(t,f))(a~(f)e−jφ‾(f))}\tilde{ \theta }(t)=arg\left\{\sum_{f \in f^{ptrs}}^{}\left(\frac{Z^{'}\left(t,f\right)}{I_{ptrs}\left(t,f\right)}\right) \left(\tilde{a}\left(f\right)e^{-j\overline{ \varphi }\left(f\right)}\right)\right\}
In the above equation, fptrsf^{ptrs} is the set of subcarriers where PT-RS are mapped, t∈tptrst \in t^{ptrs} where tptrst^{ptrs} is the set of OFDM symbols where PT-RS are mapped while Z′(t,f)Z^{'}\left(t,f\right) and Iptrs(t,f)I_{ptrs}\left(t,f\right) are is the post-FFT acquired signal and the ideal PT-RS signal respectively. That is, estimate of the CPE at a given OFDM symbol is obtained from frequency correlation of the complex ratios at the PT-RS positions with the conjugate of the estimated equalizer complex coefficients. The estimated CPE can be subtracted from φ‾(f)\overline{ \varphi }\left(f\right) to remove influence of the CPE, and obtain estimate of the complex coefficient’s phaseφ~(f)=φ‾(f)−θ~\tilde{ \varphi }\left(f\right)=\overline{ \varphi }\left(f\right)-\tilde{ \theta } (t) Image Figure C.6-1: Reference subcarrier smoothing in the frequency domain

For SBFD slot, only resource blocks allocated to downlink subband(s) shall be measured.For SBFD, let NdlTDDN_{dl}^{TDD} be the number of slots with downlink non-SBFD symbols or SBFD symbols within a 10 ms measurement interval, the averaging in the time domain can be calculated from NdlTDDN_{dl}^{TDD} slots of different 10 ms measurement intervals and should have a minimum of NdlN_{dl} slots averaging length where NdlN_{dl} is the number of slots in a 10 ms measurement interval.- EVM‾frame\overline{EVM}_{frame} is derived by: Square the EVM results in each 10 ms measurement intervals.

Relationship between EIRP based regulatory requirements and 3GPP requirements

F.1 GeneralThis annex applies to FR1 BS type 1-C , BS type 1-H and BS type 1-O .

Some regional requirements are defined per effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP), which is a combination of the transmitted power (or in some cases spectral density) and the effective antenna gain which is a site-specific condition. Such requirements may be applied per antenna, per cell, or per base station. It shall be noted that the definition of BS or cell may differ between regulations.The regulations are based on the assumption on BS type 1-C conducted requirements and a passive antenna and must be interpreted for active antenna systems that have active beamforming. This annex describes how the power per connector and sum power over TAB connectors can be related to such requirements. Where the regulator prescribes a method for EIRP calculation, that method supersedes the proposed assessment in this annex.

F.2 Relationship between EIRP based regulatory requirements and conducted requirements

When 3GPP specifications mandate manufacturer declarations of the (conducted) output power or power spectral density per connector for the base station under the reference conditions stated as a way to accommodate the referred regional requirements without putting requirements on the local site conditions. For the case when the base station manufacturer maximum output power or unwanted emission declarations apply per connector, the maximum EIRP can be estimated using the following formulas:EIRP per antenna (applicable for BS type 1-C ): P EIRP = P Tx + G AntEIRP per cell or per BS (applicable for BS type 1-H ): P EIRPcell =10 * log (∑10 PEIRPn/10 ) In case the EIRP requirement is set per polarization, the summation shall be made per polarization.- "P EIRP " is the resulting effective isotropic radiated power (or radiated power spectral density) resulting from the power (or power spectral density) declared by the manufacturer in dBm (or dBm/measurement BW).- "P Tx " is the conducted power or power spectral density declared by the manufacturer in dBm (or dBm/measurement BW).- "G Ant " is the effective antenna gain, calculated as the antenna gain (dBi) minus the loss of the site infrastructure connecting the BS antenna connector with the antenna (dB) for the applied frequency. The antenna nominal gain is only applicable within a certain frequency range. For BS type 1-H , G Ant shall be an assumption on the gain of a passive antenna system in order to provide a total power emissions level comparable to the level obtained when a BS type 1-C is connected to a passive antenna. A typical example of a passive antenna gain, as used for BS type 1-O , is 17 dBi.- “n” is the index number of the co-located antennas illuminating the same cell. P EIRPn is the P EIRP of the n th antenna.

  • “Cell” is in this annex used in the sense that it is the limited geographical area covered by the carrier transmitted from one site.

F.3 Relationship between EIRP based regulatory requirements and OTA requirementsThe regulations set an EIRP limit considering a passive antenna BS. Although the gain of passive antennas may vary somewhat, the variation is in the order of a few dBs. The gain variation of a BS type 1-O may be much larger. However, BS type 1-O unwanted emissions requirements are defined as TRP, since TRP impacts co-existence properties.

In order to relate the EIRP values in the specifications to TRP, a fixed assumption has been made on the gain of a typical passive BS antenna. Thus, the maximum TRP can be estimated using the following formulas:TRP limit per antenna: P TRP, antenna = P EIRP - G AntTRP limit per cell or per BS: P TRP =P TRP,antenna + 9 dBIt is noted that the BS type 1-O architecture assumes that a BS subject to OTA requirements will have at least 8 antennas. In case the TRP requirement is set per polarization, the summation shall be made per polarization.- "P EIRP " is the effective isotropic radiated power (or radiated power spectral density) set in the regulation (assuming a passive BS antenna) in dBm (or dBm/measurement BW).- "G Ant " is the effective antenna gain, the antenna gain (dBi) is a fixed reference value of 17 dBi. Directivity value should be used in above equations, however with all antenna losses are assumed zero then we can use effective antenna gain.

Annex G (Normative):

Propagation conditions

G.1 Static propagation condition

The propagation for the static performance measurement is an Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) environment. No fading or multi-paths exist for this propagation model.

G.1.1 BS Receiver with 2Rx

For 2 port transmission the channel matrix is defined in the frequency domain by

H=(1j1−j)H=\left(\begin{matrix}1&j\\1&-j\end{matrix}\right)

G.2 Multi-path fading propagation conditions

The multipath propagation conditions consist of several parts:

G.2.1 Delay profiles

The delay profiles are simplified from the TR 38.901 [16] TDL models. The simplification steps are shown below for information. These steps are only used when new delay profiles are created. Otherwise, the delay profiles specified in G.2.1.1, G.2.1.2 and G.2.1.3 can be used as such. Step 1: Use the original TDL model from TR 38.901 [16]. Step 2: Re-order the taps in ascending delays. Step 3: Perform delay scaling according to the procedure described in clause 7.7.3 in TR 38.901 [16]. Step 4: Apply the quantization to the delay resolution 5 ns. This is done simply by rounding the tap delays to the nearest multiple of the delay resolution. Step 5: If multiple taps are rounded to the same delay bin, merge them by calculating their linear power sum. Step 6: If there are more than 12 taps in the quantized model, merge the taps as follows

  • Find the weakest tap from all taps (both merged and unmerged taps are considered)
  • If there are two or more taps having the same value and are the weakest, select the tap with the smallest delay as the weakest tap.
  • When the weakest tap is the first delay tap, merge taps as follows
  • Update the power of the first delay tap as the linear power sum of the weakest tap and the second delay tap.
  • Remove the second delay tap.
  • When the weakest tap is the last delay tap, merge taps as follows
  • Update the power of the last delay tap as the linear power sum of the second-to-last tap and the last tap.
  • Remove the second-to-last tap.
  • Otherwise
  • For each side of the weakest tap, identify the neighbour tap that has the smaller delay difference to the weakest tap.
  • When the delay difference between the weakest tap and the identified neighbour tap on one side equals the delay difference between the weakest tap and the identified neighbour tap on the other side.
  • Select the neighbour tap that is weaker in power for merging.
  • Otherwise, select the neighbour tap that has smaller delay difference for merging.
  • To merge, the power of the merged tap is the linear sum of the power of the weakest tap and the selected tap.
  • When the selected tap is the first tap, the location of the merged tap is the location of the first tap. The weakest tap is removed.
  • When the selected tap is the last tap, the location of the merged tap is the location of the last tap. The weakest tap is removed.
  • Otherwise, the location of the merged tap is based on the average delay of the weakest tap and selected tap. If the average delay is on the sampling grid, the location of the merged tap is the average delay. Otherwise, the location of the merged tap is rounded towards the direction of the selected tap (e.g. 10 ns & 20 ns 15 ns, 10 ns & 25 ns 20 ns, if 25 ns had higher or equal power; 15 ns, if 10 ns had higher power) . The weakest tap and the selected tap are removed.
  • Repeat step 6 until the final number of taps is 12. Step 7: Round the amplitudes of taps to one decimal (e.g. -8.78 dB -8.8 dB) Step 8: If the delay spread has slightly changed due to the tap merge, adjust the final delay spread by increasing or decreasing the power of the last tap so that the delay spread is corrected. Step 9: Re-normalize the highest tap to 0 dB. Note 1: Some values of the delay profile created by the simplification steps may differ from the values in tables G.2.1.1-2, G.2.1.1-3, G.2.1.1-4, G.2.1.2-2, G.2.1.2-3, G.2.1.2-4 and G.2.1.2-5 for the corresponding model. Note 2: For Step 5 and Step 6, the power values are expressed in the linear domain using 6 digits of precision. The operations are in the linear domain.

G.2.3.1.2 MIMO Correlation Matrices at High, Medium and Low Level

Image

Image The and for different correlation types are given in Table G.2.3.1.2-1. Table G.2.3.1.2-1: Correlation for High Medium and Low Level

Low correlation Low correlation Medium Correlation Medium Correlation High Correlation High Correlation
0 0 0.9 0.3 0.9 0.9
The correlation matrices for high, medium and low correlation are defined in Table G.2.3.1.2-2, G.2.3.1.2-3 and G.2.3.1.2-4 as below.
The values in Table G.2.3.1.2-2 have been adjusted for the 2x4 and 4x4 high correlation cases to insure the correlation matrix is positive semi-definite after round-off to 4-digit precision. This is done using the equation:
Rhigh=[Rspatial+aIn]/(1+a)R_{high}=[R_{spatial}+aI_{n}{]}/{(}1+a)
Where the value “a” is a scaling factor such that the smallest value is used to obtain a positive semi-definite result. For the 2x4 high correlation case, a=0.00010. For the 4x4 high correlation case, a=0.00012.
The same method is used to adjust the 4x4 medium correlation matrix in Table G.2.3.1.2-3 to insure the correlation matrix is positive semi-definite after round-off to 4-digit precision with a =0.00012.

G.2.3.2 Multi-Antenna channel models using cross polarized antennas

The MIMO channel correlation matrices defined in G.2.3.2 apply to two cases as presented below:

  • One TX antenna and multiple RX antennas case, with cross polarized antennas used at gNB
  • Multiple TX antennas and multiple RX antennas case, with cross polarized antennas used at both UE and gNB The cross-polarized antenna elements with +/-45 degrees polarization slant angles are deployed at gNB. For one TX antenna case, antenna element with +90 degree polarization slant angle is deployed at UE. For multiple TX antennas case, cross-polarized antenna elements with +90/0 degrees polarization slant angles are deployed at UE. For the cross-polarized antennas, the N antennas are labelled such that antennas for one polarization are listed from 1 to N/2 and antennas for the other polarization are listed from N/2+1 to N, where N is the number of TX or RX antennas.
G.2.3.2.1 Definition of MIMO Correlation Matrices using cross polarized antennas

For the channel spatial correlation matrix, the following is used:
