7.4 In-channel selectivity
36.1043GPPBase Station (BS) radio transmission and receptionEvolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA)Release 18TS
In-channel selectivity (ICS) is a measure of the receiver ability to receive a wanted signal at its assigned resource block locations in the presence of an interfering signal received at a larger power spectral density. In this condition a throughput requirement shall be met for a specified reference measurement channel. The interfering signal shall be an E-UTRA signal as specified in Annex C and shall be time aligned with the wanted signal.
7.4.1 Minimum requirement
For E-UTRA, the throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel as specified in Annex A with parameters specified in Table 7.4.1-1 for Wide Area BS, in Table 7.4.1-2 for Local Area BS, in Table 7.4.1-3 for Home BS and in Table 7.4.1-4 for Medium Range BS.
