5.5F Operating bands for category NB1 and NB2
36.1013GPPEvolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA)Release 18TSUser Equipment (UE) radio transmission and reception
Category NB1 and NB2 are designed to operate in the E-UTRA operating bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 24, 25, 26, 28, 31, 41, 42, 43, 48, 65, 66, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 85, 87, 88, and 103 which are defined in Table 5.5-1. Category NB1 and NB2 are designed to operate in the NR operating bands n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n14, n18, n20, n25, n26, n28, n41, n65, n66, n70, n71, n74, n90.
Category NB1 and NB2 systems operate in HD-FDD duplex mode or in TDD mode.
In case UE receives network signaling value NS_04 on any of the operating bands listed in Table 5.5F-1 then the lower and upper limit of those bands are shown in Table 5.5F-1 to account for the USA emission requirements.
