4 Frequency bands and channel arrangement
25.1533GPPRelease 17TSUTRA repeater conformance testing (LCR TDD)
4.1 Frequency bands
UTRA/TDD is designed to operate in the following bands;
a) 1900 – 1920 MHz: Uplink and downlink transmission
2010 – 2025 MHz Uplink and downlink transmission
b) 1850 – 1910 MHz Uplink and downlink transmission
1930 – 1990 MHz Uplink and downlink transmission
c) 1910 – 1930 MHz Uplink and downlink transmission
d) 2570 – 2620 MHz Uplink and downlink transmission
e) 2300 – 2400 MHz Uplink and downlink transmission
f) 1880 – 1920 MHz: Uplink and downlink transmission
Note: Deployment in existing and other frequency bands is not precluded.
4.2 TX-RX frequency separation
No TX-RX frequency separation is required as Time Division Duplex (TDD) is employed. Each subframe consists of 7 main timeslots where all main timeslots (at least the first one) before the single switching point are allocated DL and all main timeslots (at least the last one) after the single switching point are allocated UL.
4.3 Channel arrangement
4.3.1 Channel spacing
The channel spacing is 1.6MHz, 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 carrier frequency must be a multiple of 200 kHz.
4.3.3 Channel number
The carrier frequency is designated by the UTRA absolute radio frequency channel number (UARFCN). The value of the UARFCN in the IMT2000 band is defined in the general case as follows:
Nt = 5 F 0.0 F 3276.6 MHz
where F is the carrier frequency in MHz.
