7.6 Blocking characteristics

25.1023GPPRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) radio transmission and reception (TDD)

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

The blocking characteristics is a measure of the receiver ability to receive a wanted signal at is assigned channel frequency in the presence of an unwanted interferer on frequencies other than those of the spurious response or the adjacent channels without this unwanted input signal causing a degradation of the performance of the receiver beyond a specified limit. The blocking performance shall apply at all frequencies except those at which a spurious response occur.

7.6.1 Minimum Requirement

7.6.1.1 3.84 Mcps TDD Option

For non-IMB operation, the BER shall not exceed 0.001 for the parameters specified in table 7.6, table 7.7 and table 7.7AA. For IMB operation, the BLER shall not exceed 0.01 for the parameters specified in table 7.6, table 7.7 and table 7.7AA. For table 7.7 and 7.7AA up to 24 exceptions are allowed for spurious response frequencies in each assigned frequency channel when measured using a 1MHz step size. Additional requirement in table 7.7AA is applied for Band a) UE operating on 2010-2025MHz.
