b) A UTRA/FDD Repeater can support both fixed and variable up-link to down-link frequency separation.

c) The use of other up-link to down-link frequency separations in existing or other frequency bands shall not be precluded.

4.3 Channel arrangement

4.3.1 Channel spacing

The nominal channel spacing is 5 MHz, but this can be adjusted to optimise performance in a particular deployment scenario.

4.3.2 Channel raster

The channel raster is 200 kHz for all bands, which means that the centre frequency must be an integer multiple of 200 kHz. In addition a number of additional centre frequencies are specified according to the table 4.4, which means that the centre frequencies for these channels are shifted 100 kHz relative to the general raster.

4.3.3 Channel number

The carrier frequency is designated by the UTRA Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (UARFCN).

For each operating band, the UARFCN values are defined as follows.

Uplink: NU = 5 * (FUL – FUL_Offset), for the carrier frequency range FUL_low FUL  FUL_high

Downlink: ND = 5 * (FDL – FDL_Offset), for the carrier frequency range FDL_low FDL  FDL_high

For each operating Band, FUL_Offset, FUL_low FUL_high, FDL_Offset,, FDL_lowand FDL_high are defined in Table 4.3 for the general UARFCN. For the additional UARFCN, FUL_Offset, FDL_Offset and the specific FUL and FDL are defined in Table 4.4.
