Note 1: The above tolerances are applicable for UE(s) that support up to 4 E-UTRA operating bands. For UE(s) that support 5 or more E-UTRA bands the maximum output power is expected to decrease with each additional band and is FFS

Note 2: For transmission bandwidths (Figure 5.4.2-1, Table 5.4.4-1) confined within FUL_low and FUL_low + 4 MHz or FUL_high – 4 MHz and FUL_high, the maximum output power requirement is relaxed by reducing the lower tolerance limit by 1.5 dB

Note 3: N/A

Note 4: PPowerClass is the maximum UE power specified without taking into account the tolerance

Note 5-6: N/A

For a power class 2 capable UE operating on Band 41, when an IE P-max as defined in [5] of 23 dBm or lower is indicated in the cell or if the TDD frame configuration is 0 or 6, the requirements for power class 2 are not applicable, and the corresponding requirements for a power class 3 UE shall apply.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 36.101 clause 6.2.2.

Note 1: Test Channel Bandwidths are checked separately for each E-UTRA band, the applicable channel bandwidths are specified in Table 5.4.2.1-1.

Note 2: For E-UTRA bands not applied with Note 2 in Table 6.2.2_1.3-1:
The 1 RB allocation shall be tested at RB#0 for low and mid range, RB #max for high range test frequency.
The RBstart of non-1RB allocation shall be RB #0 for low and mid range, RB# (max +1 – RB allocation) for high range test frequency.

Note 3: For E-UTRA bands applied with Note 2 in Table 6.2.2_1.3-1:
– If the test channel bandwidth is larger than 4MHz, then the 1 RB allocation shall be tested at both RB #0 and RB #max.
– If the test channel bandwidth is smaller or equal to 4MHz, then the 1 RB allocation shall be tested at RB #0.
– If the test channel bandwidth = (FUL_high – FUL_low) specified by the operating band, then only one frequency range shall be tested and the 1 RB allocation shall be tested at RB #0, RB # and RB #max.
– For non-1RB allocation, test frequency is middle range, and the RBstart shall be RB #0.
