3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following definitions apply:
Output power: mean power of one carrier of the base station, delivered to a load with resistance equal to the nominal load impedance of the transmitter.
Rated output power: mean power level per carrier that the manufacturer has declared to be available at the antenna connector.
Maximum output Power: mean power level per carrier of the base station measured at the antenna connector in a specified reference condition.
Mean power: power (transmitted or received) in a bandwidth of at least (1+ times the chip rate of the radio access mode.
NOTE 1: α = 0,22 is the roll‑off factor of the WCDMA signal. The roll-off factor is defined in section 6.8
NOTE 2: The period of measurement shall be at least one timeslot unless otherwise stated.
MIMO mode: downlink MIMO configuration with two transmit antennas
MIMO mode with four transmit antennas: downlink MIMO configuration with four transmit antennas.
Power control dynamic range: difference between the maximum and the minimum transmit output power of a code channel for a specified reference condition.
RRC filtered mean power: mean power as measured through a root raised cosine filter with roll-off factor and a bandwidth equal to the chip rate of the radio access mode.
NOTE 1: The RRC filtered mean power of a perfectly modulated W-CDMA signal is 0.246 dB lower than the mean power of the same signal.
NOTE 2: The roll-off factor is defined in section 6.8.1.
Code domain power: part of the mean power which correlates with a particular (OVSF) code channel.
NOTE: The sum of all powers in the code domain equals the mean power in a bandwidth of (1+ times the chip rate of the radio access mode.
Total power dynamic range: difference between the maximum and the minimum total transmit output power for a specified reference condition.
Secondary serving HS-DSCH cell(s): set of cells where the UE is configured to simultaneously monitor an HS-SCCH set and receive the HS-DSCH if it is scheduled in that cell.
NOTE: There can be up to 7 secondary serving HS-DSCH cells in addition to the serving HS-DSCH cell.
Channel bandwidth: RF bandwidth supporting a single UTRA RF carrier.
NOTE: the channel bandwidth is measured in MHz and is used as a reference for transmitter and receiver RF requirements.
Channel edge: lowest or highest frequency of the UTRA carrier, separated by the channel bandwidth.
Base Station RF Bandwidth: bandwidth in which a base station transmits and/or receives single or multiple carriers simultaneously within each supported operating band.
NOTE: In single carrier operation the channel bandwidth is equal to Base Station RF Bandwidth
Base Station RF Bandwidth edge: frequency of one of the edges of the Base Station RF Bandwidth.
Contiguous spectrum: spectrum consisting of a contiguous block of spectrum with no sub-block gap(s).
Highest carrier: carrier with the highest carrier centre frequency transmitted/received in the specified operating band(s).
Non-contiguous spectrum: spectrum consisting of two or more sub-blocks separated by sub-block gap(s).
Radio Bandwidth: frequency difference between the upper edge of the highest used carrier and the lower edge of the lowest used carrier.
Sub-block: one contiguous allocated block of spectrum for use by the same base station.
NOTE: There may be multiple instances of sub-blocks within an Base Station RF Bandwidth.
Sub-block bandwidth: RF bandwidth of one sub-block.
Sub-block gap: frequency gap between two consecutive sub-blocks within an Base Station RF Bandwidth, where the RF requirements in the gap are based on co-existence for un-coordinated operation.
Lower sub-block edge: frequency at the lower edge of one sub-block.
NOTE: It is used as a frequency reference point for both transmitter and receiver requirements.
Lowest carrier: carrier with the lowest carrier centre frequency transmitted/received in the specified operating band(s).
Upper sub-block edge: frequency at the higher edge of one sub-block.
NOTE: It is used as a frequency reference point for both transmitter and receiver requirements.
Inter-band gap: The frequency gap between two supported consecutive operating bands.
Inter RF Bandwidth gap: frequency gap between two consecutive Base Station RF Bandwidths that respectively correspond to two supported operating bands.
Multi-band base station: base station characterized by the ability of its transmitter and/or receiver to process two or more carriers in common active RF components simultaneously, where at least one carrier is configured at a different operating band (which is not a sub-band or superseding-band of another supported operating band) than the other carrier(s).
Multi-band transmitter: transmitter characterized by the ability to process two or more carriers in common active RF components simultaneously, where at least one carrier is configured at a different operating band (which is not a sub-band or superseding-band of another supported operating band) than the other carrier(s).
Multi-band receiver: receiver characterized by the ability to process two or more carriers in common active RF components simultaneously, where at least one carrier is configured at a different operating band (which is not a sub-band or superseding-band of another supported operating band) than the other carrier(s).
Rated total output power: the total power level that the manufacturer has declared to be available at the antenna connector.
Sub-band: A sub-band of an operating band contains a part of the uplink and downlink frequency range of the operating band.
Superseding-band: A superseding-band of an operating band includes the whole of the uplink and downlink frequency range of the operating band.
