25.1063GPPRelease 17TSUTRA repeater radio transmission and reception

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

This specification applies only to UTRA-FDD repeaters.

Unless otherwise stated, all requirements in this specification apply to both the up-link and down-link directions, where applicable.

4.1 Relationship between Minimum Requirements and Test Requirements

The Minimum Requirements given in this specification make no allowance for measurement uncertainty. The repeater test specification 25.143 section 5 [2] defines 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.

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 ETR 273 Part 1 sub-part 2 section 6.5 [4].

4.2 Regional requirements

Some requirements in TS 25.106 may only apply in certain regions. Table 4.1 lists all requirements that may be applied differently in different regions.

Table 4.1: List of regional requirements.

Clause number	Requirement		Comments
5.1	Frequency bands		Some bands may be applied regionally.
5.2	TX – RX frequency separation		The requirement is applied according to which frequency bands in Clause 5.1 that are supported by the Repeater.
5.3	Channel arrangement		The requirement is applied according to what frequency bands in clause 5.1 that are supported by the Repeater.
6.1	Maximum output power		In certain regions, the minimum requirement for normal conditions may apply also for some conditions outside the ranges of conditions defined as normal.
9.1. 2	Operating band unwanted emissions		The mask specified may be mandatory in certain regions. In other regions this mask may not be applied. Additional spectrum protection may apply regionally.
9.2.1.1	Spurious emissions (Category A)		These requirements shall be met in cases where Category A limits for spurious emissions, as defined in ITU-R Recommendation SM.329 [1], are applied.
9.2.1.2	Spurious emissions (Category B)		These requirements shall be met in cases where Category B limits for spurious emissions, as defined in ITU-R Recommendation SM.329 [1], are applied.
9.2.3		Spurious emissions: Co-existence with other systems in the same geographical area		These requirements may apply in geographic areas in which both UTRA FDD Repeater and GSM900 DCS1800, PCS1900, GSM850 and/or UTRA FDD operating in another frequency band are deployed.
9.2.4		Spurious emissions: Co-existence with co-located and co-sited base stations		These requirements may be applied for the protection of other BS receivers when GSM900 DCS1800, PCS1900, GSM850 and/or FDD BS operating in another frequency band are co-located with a UTRA FDD Repeater.
9.2.5	Spurious emissions: Co-existence with PHS		This requirement may be applied for the protection of PHS in geographic areas in which both PHS and UTRA FDD Repeaters are deployed.
9.2.6.1	Spurious emissions: Co-existence with UTRA-TDD and/or E-UTRA TDD – Operation in the same geographic area		This requirement may be applied for the protection of UTRA UE in geographic areas in which both UTRA TDD BS and UTRA FDD Repeaters are deployed.
9.2.6.2	Spurious emissions: Co-existence with UTRA-TDD and/or E-UTRA TDD – Co-location		This requirement may be applied for the protection of UTRA TDD BS receivers when UTRA TDD BS and UTRA FDD Repeaters are co-located.
9.2.8	Spurious emissions: Protection of public safety operations		This requirement may be applied for the protection of public safety systems in geographic areas in which both UTRA FDD Repeater and public safety systems are deployed.
11.2	Input Intermodulation: Co-location with BS in other systems		The requirement may be applied when GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900, GSM850 and/or UTRA FDD BS operating in another frequency band and UTRA-FDD Repeaters are co-located.
11.3	Input Intermodulation: Co-existence with other systems		These requirements may apply in geographic areas in which both UTRA FDD Repeater and GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900, GSM850 and/or UTRA FDD operating in another frequency band are deployed.
