5 Applicability of requirements

37.1043GPPMulti-Standard Radio (MSR) Base Station (BS) radio transmission and receptionNR, E-UTRA, UTRA and GSM/EDGERelease 17TS

5.1 Band category 1

For all BS operating in bands belonging to Band Category 1, the RF requirements listed in Table 5.1-1 apply for each supported operating band. Requirements apply according to the RAT configuration of the Base Station, as listed in the heading of the table. Some requirements listed in the table may not be mandatory or they may apply only regionally. This is further specified in the clause of each requirement and in Table 4.4-1. For multiband operation, the applicability of the requirements for each operating band is determined based on the RAT configuration within only that operating band, unless otherwise stated.

NOTE 1: For some requirements in BS configured for multi-RAT operation, there is no general MSR multi-RAT requirement. Instead, the requirement is defined by the respective single-RAT requirement for each RAT supported by the BS as referenced in the table.

NOTE 2: The requirement in sub-clause 6.7.2 is only applied for BS operating in non-contiguous spectrum.

NOTE 3: The requirement in sub-clause 6.6.4.4 is only applied for BS operating in non-contiguous spectrum.

5.2 Band category 2

For all BS operating in bands belonging to Band Category 2, the RF requirements listed in Table 5.2-1 apply for each supported operating band. Requirements apply according to the RAT configuration of the Base Station, as listed in the heading of the table. Some requirements listed in the table may not be mandatory or they may apply only regionally. This is further specified in the clause of each requirement and in Table 4.4-1. For multiband operation, the applicability of the requirements for each operating band is determined based on the RAT configuration within only that operating band, unless otherwise stated.

Note 1: For some requirements in BS configured for multi-RAT operation, there is no general MSR multi-RAT requirement. Instead, the requirement is defined by the respective single-RAT requirement for each RAT supported by the BS as referenced in the table.

NOTE 2: The requirement in sub-clause 6.6.4.4 is only applied for BS operating in non-contiguous spectrum.

5.4 Inclusion of requirements by reference

Many requirements in the present specification are not explicitly stated in the clauses listed in Tables 5.1-1, 5.2-1 and 5.3-1, but are instead included by reference to the respective single-RAT specifications. Each reference is normative and identifies the clause where the requirement is specified.

In some cases, the referenced clause may contain requirements that for different reasons do not apply for an MSR base station. It is in those cases stated that "applicable parts of" the referenced clause applies. What parts are applicable is determined by the scope of the MSR specification. For example:

– In a referenced clause including requirements for multiple operating bands, only requirements for bands listed in the present document apply.

– In a referenced clause that includes requirements for different types of base stations, only requirements for the BS classes specified for each RAT apply, see subclause 4.3.
