NOTE 1: The transmitter shall be set to PUMAX as defined in subclause 6.2.5 NOTE 2: Reference measurement channel is A.3.2 with one sided dynamic OCNG Pattern OP.1 FDD/TDD as described in Annex A.5.1.1/A.5.2.1 NOTE 3: For the UE which supports both Band 11 and Band 21 the reference sensitivity level is FFS. NOTE 4: For a UE that support both Band 18 and Band 26, the reference sensitivity level for Band 26 applies for the applicable channel bandwidths.

NOTE 1: ¹ refers to the UL resource blocks shall be located as close as possible to the downlink operating band but confined within the transmission bandwidth configuration for the channel bandwidth (Table 5.6-1). NOTE 2: For the UE which supports both Band 11 and Band 21 the uplink configuration for reference sensitivity is FFS. NOTE 3: ³ refers to Band 20; in the case of 15MHz channel bandwidth, the UL resource blocks shall be located at RBstart 11 and in the case of 20MHz channel bandwidth, the UL resource blocks shall be located at RBstart 16 NOTE 4: ⁴refers to Bands 31, 72 and 73; in the case of 3 MHz channel bandwidth, the UL resource blocks shall be located at RBstart 9 and in the case of 5 MHz channel bandwidth, the UL resource blocks shall be located at RBstart 10.
