7.4 Maximum input level

25.1013GPPRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) radio transmission and reception (FDD)

Tools: ARFCN - Frequency Conversion for 5G NR/LTE/UMTS/GSM

This is defined as the maximum mean power received at the UE antenna port, at which the specified BER performance shall be met.

7.4.1 Minimum requirement for DPCH reception

The BER shall not exceed 0.001 for the parameters specified in Table 7.3.

Table 7.3: Maximum input level

Parameter	Unit	Level
	dB	-19
Î_or	dBm/3.84 MHz	-25
UE transmitted mean power	dBm	20 (for Power class 3 and 3bis) 18 (for Power class 4) NOTE 1
NOTE 1: The UE transmitted mean power shall be reduced by 0.5dB for a UE operating in band XXII.

NOTE: Since the spreading factor is large (10log(SF)=21dB), the majority of the total input signal consists of the OCNS interference. The structure of OCNS signal is defined in Annex C.3.2.
