10 Radiated receiver characteristics

37.1053GPPActive Antenna System (AAS) Base Station (BS) transmission and receptionRelease 17TS

10.1 General

OTA receiver characteristics requirements apply to the AAS BS including all its functional components active unless otherwise stated in each requirement.

Unless otherwise stated the requirements in clause 10 apply during the AAS BS receive period.

The requirements in clause 10 shall be met for any transmitter setting.

The (E-UTRA) and NR throughput requirements defined for the receiver characteristics in this clause do not assume HARQ retransmissions.

When the AAS BS is configured to receive multiple carriers, all the throughput requirements are applicable for each received carrier.

Each requirement shall be met over the RoAoA specified.

For requirements which are to be met over the OTA REFSENS RoAoA absolute requirement values are offset by the following term:

ΔOTAREFSENS = 44.1 – 10*log10(BeWθ,REFSENS*BeWφ,REFSENS) (dB) for the reference direction.

And

ΔOTAREFSENS = 41.1 – 10*log10(BeWθ,REFSENS*BeWφ,REFSENS) (dB) for all other directions.

For requirements which are to be met over the minSENS RoAoA absolute requirement values are offset by the following term:

ΔminSENS = PREFSENS – EISminSENS (dB)

10.2 OTA sensitivity

10.2.1 General

The OTA sensitivity requirement is based upon the declaration of one or more OTA sensitivity direction declarations (OSDD), related to an AAS BS receiver.

The AAS BS receiver may optionally be capable of redirecting/changing the receiver target by means of adjusting BS settings resulting in multiple sensitivity RoAoA. The sensitivity RoAoA resulting from the current AAS BS settings is the active sensitivity RoAoA.

If the AAS BS is capable of redirecting the receiver target related to the OSDD then the OSDD shall include:

– The set(s) of RAT, Channel bandwidth and declared minimum EIS level applicable to any active sensitivity RoAoA inside the receiver target redirection range in the OSDD.

– A declared receiver target redirection range, describing all the angles of arrival that can be addressed for the OSDD through alternative settings in the AAS BS.

– Five declared sensitivity RoAoA comprising the conformance testing directions as detailed in TS 37.145-2 [30].

– The receiver target reference direction.

NOTE 1: Some of the declared sensitivity RoAoA may coincide depending on the redirection capability.

NOTE 2: In addition to the declared sensitivity RoAoA, several sensitivity RoAoA may be implicitly defined by the receiver target redirection range without being explicitly declared in the OSDD.

NOTE 3: (Void)

If the AAS BS is not capable of redirecting the receiver target related to the OSDD, then the OSDD includes only:

– The set(s) of RAT, Channel bandwidth and declared minimum EIS level applicable to the sensitivity RoAoA in the OSDD.

– One declared active sensitivity RoAoA.

– The receiver target reference direction.

NOTE 4: For AAS BS without target redirection capability, the declared (fixed) sensitivity RoAoA is always the active sensitivity RoAoA.

The OTA sensitivity EIS level declaration shall apply to each supported polarization, under the assumption of polarization match.

10.2.2 Minimum requirement for MSR operation

The minimum requirements for a UTRA FDD and for UTRA TDD 1,28 Mcps option carrier OTA sensitivity are defined in subclause 10.2.3.

The minimum requirement for an E-UTRA carrier OTA sensitivity is defined in subclause 10.2.4.

The minimum requirement for an NR carrier OTA sensitivity is the same as that defined for BS type 1-O in 3GPP TS 38.104 [28] in subclause 10.2.1.2

10.2.3 Minimum requirement for single RAT UTRA operation

For a received signal whose AoA of the incident wave is within the active sensitivity RoAoA of an OSDD, the error rate criterion as described below shall be met when the level of the arriving signal is equal to the minimum EIS level in the respective declared set of EIS level, RAT and channel bandwidth.

For UTRA FDD, the BER shall not exceed 0,001, using the 12,2 kbps data rate reference measurement channel specified in 3GPP TS 25.104 [2].

For UTRA TDD 1,28 Mcps option, the BER shall not exceed 0,001, using the 12,2 kbps data rate reference measurement channel specified in 3GPP TS 25.105 [3].

NOTE: The requirement applies for all declared sets of EIS, RAT and channel bandwidth, within the OSDD comprising UTRA, and for all related active sensitivity RoAoA settings within the AAS BS capability.

10.2.4 Minimum requirement for single RAT E-UTRA operation

For a received signal whose AoA of the incident wave is within the active sensitivity RoAoA of an OSDD the throughput criterion, as described below, shall be met when the level of the arriving signal is equal to the minimum EIS level in the respective declared set of EIS level, RAT and channel bandwidth.

The throughput shall be ≥ 95 % of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel as specified in 3GPP TS 36.104 [4] with parameters specified in table 10.2.4-1.

NOTE 1: The requirement applies for all declared sets of EIS level, RAT and channel bandwidth, within the OSDD comprising E-UTRA, and for all related active sensitivity RoAoA settings within the AAS BS capability.

10.5 OTA Adjacent channel selectivity, general blocking, and narrowband blocking

10.5.1 General

The adjacent channel selectivity (ACS), general blocking and narrowband blocking characteristics are measures of the receiver unit ability to receive a wanted signal at its assigned channel in the presence of an unwanted interferer inside the operating band.

The requirement applies at the RIB when the AoA of the incident wave of a received signal and the interfering signal are from the same direction, and:

– when the wanted signal is based on EISREFSENS : the AoA of the incident wave of a received signal and the interfering signal are within the OTA REFSENS RoAoA.

– when the wanted signal is based on EISminSENS : the AoA of the incident wave of a received signal and the interfering signal are within the within the minSENS RoAoA.

The wanted and interfering signals apply to each supported polarization, under the assumption of polarization match.

NOTE: For Single RAT requirements, the in-band selectivity characteristics is referred to as "adjacent channel selectivity", whereas for the MSR requirements, the corresponding property is referred to as "general blocking" since the adjacent frequency range may not carry a channel addressable from the interfered carrier.

The in-band blocking requirement applies from FUL_low – ΔfOOB to FUL_high + ΔfOOB, excluding the downlink frequency range of the FDD operating band. The ΔfOOB is defined in table 10.5-1.

10.5.2 Minimum requirement for MSR operation

10.5.2.1 General minimum requirement

For the general blocking requirement, the interfering signal shall be a UTRA FDD signal as specified in 3GPP TS 37.104 [9], annex A for a UTRA, E-UTRA or NR (≤ 20 MHz) wanted signal. The interfering signal shall be a 20 MHz E-UTRA signal for NR wanted signal channel bandwidth greater than 20MHz.

The requirement is applicable outside the Base Station RF Bandwidth or Radio Bandwidth. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges or Radio Bandwidth edges applicable to each RIB.

For RIB supporting operation in non-contiguous spectrum, the requirement applies in addition inside any sub-block gap, in case the sub-block gap size is at least 15 MHz. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the sub-block edges inside the sub-block gap.

For multi-band RIBs, the requirement applies in addition inside any Inter RF Bandwidth gap, in case the gap size is at least 15 MHz. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges inside the Inter RF Bandwidth gap.

For the wanted and interfering signal at the RIB, using the parameters in tables 7.4.2.1‑1 and 7.4.2.1‑2, the following requirements shall be met:

– For any E-UTRA carrier, the throughput shall be ≥ 95 % of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel defined in 3GPP TS 36.104 [8], subclause 7.2.1.

– For any UTRA FDD carrier, the BER shall not exceed 0,001 for the reference measurement channel defined in 3GPP TS 25.104 [6], subclause 7.2.1.

– For any NR carrier, the throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel defined for BS type 1-O in TS 38.104 [28], subclause 10.3.2

The OTA levels are applied referenced to 2 antenna gain offsets ΔOTAREFSENS and ΔminSENS.

For multi-band RIBs, the requirement applies according to table 10.5.2.1-1 for the in-band blocking frequency ranges of each supported operating band.

NOTE 4: For LA BS supporting UTRA, "x" is equal to 11 in case of NR or E-UTRA wanted signal, 6 in case of UTRA wanted signal.

NOTE 5: For a BS tnot supporting UTRA, x is equal to 6 for all BS classes if NR is supported, otherwise “x” is equal to 6 for WA BS or 9 for MR BS or 11 for LA BS if NR is not supported.

NOTE 6: For a BS capable of multi-band operation, "x" in Note 2, 3, 4, 5 applies in case of interfering signals that are in the in-band blocking frequency range of the operating band where the wanted signal is present or in the in-band blocking frequency range of an adjacent or overlapping operating band. For other in-band blocking frequency ranges of the interfering signal for the supported operating bands, "x" is equal to 1.4 dB.

NOTE 7: For a BS that supports NR but does not support UTRA, "y" is equal to -3 for the WA and MR BS class and -5 for the LA BS class. For all other cases, “y” is equal to zero for all BS classes.

NOTE 8: The downlink frequency range of an FDD operating band is excluded from the general blocking requirement.

NOTE 9: For NR wanted signal channel bandwidth greater than 20 MHz, z = 22.5. For all other cases, z = 0.

Table 10.5.2.1-2: (Void)

NOTE: The requirement in table 10.5.2.1-1 assumes that two operating bands, where the downlink operating band (see subclause 4.5 in 3GPP TS 37.104 [9]) of one band would be within the in-band blocking region of the other band, are not deployed in the same geographical area.

10.5.2.2 General narrowband blocking minimum requirement

For the general narrowband blocking requirement, the interfering signal shall be an E-UTRA 1RB signal as specified in 3GPP TS 37.104 [9], annex A.

The requirement is applicable outside the Base Station RF Bandwidth or Radio Bandwidth. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges or Radio Bandwidth edges.

For RIBs supporting operation in non-contiguous spectrum, the requirement applies in addition inside any sub-block gap, in case the sub-block gap size is at least 3 MHz. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the sub-block edges inside the sub-block gap.

For multi-band RIBs, the requirement applies in addition inside any Inter RF Bandwidth gap, in case the gap size is at least 3 MHz. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges inside the Inter RF Bandwidth gap.

For the wanted and interfering signal at the RIB using the parameters in table 10.5.2.2‑1, the following requirements shall be met:

– For any E-UTRA carrier, the throughput shall be ≥ 95 % of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel defined in 3GPP TS 36.104 [8], subclause 7.2.1.

– For any UTRA FDD carrier, the BER shall not exceed 0,001 for the reference measurement channel defined in 3GPP TS 25.104 [6], subclause 7.2.1.

– For any NR carrier, the throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel defined for BS type 1-O in TS 38.104 [28], subclause 10.3.2

10.5.3.1 General

Adjacent channel selectivity (ACS) is a measure of the receiver ability to receive a wanted signal at its assigned channel frequency in the presence of an adjacent channel signal at a given frequency offset from the centre frequency of the assigned channel. ACS is the ratio of the receiver filter attenuation on the assigned channel frequency to the receiver filter attenuation on the adjacent channel(s).

The interference signal is offset from the wanted signal by the frequency offset Fuw. The interference signal shall be a W-CDMA signal as specified in 3GPP TS 25.104 [6] Annex C.

For RIBs supporting operation in non-contiguous spectrum, the requirement applies in addition inside any sub-block gap, in case the sub-block gap size is at least 5 MHz. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the sub-block edges inside the sub-block gap and is equal to -2.5MHz/+2.5MHz, respectively.

For multi-band RIBs, the requirement applies in addition inside any Inter RF Bandwidth gap at the RIB, in case the gap size is at least 5 MHz. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges inside the Inter RF Bandwidth gap and is equal to -2.5MHz/+2.5MHz, respectively.

10.6 OTA Blocking

10.6.1 General

The blocking characteristics are a measure of the receiver unit ability to receive a wanted signal at the RIB at its assigned channel in the presence of an unwanted interferer.

The requirement applies at the RIB when the AoA of the incident wave of the received signal and the interfering signal are the same direction and are within the minSENS RoAoA

The wanted signal applies to each supported polarization, under the assumption of polarization match. The interferer shall be polarization matched in-band and the polarization maintained for out-of-band frequencies.

The out-of-band blocking requirement applies from 30 MHz to FUL_low – ΔfOOB and from FUL_high + ΔfOOB up to 12750 MHz, including the downlink frequency range of the FDD operating band for BS supporting FDD. ΔfOOB is defined in table 10.5-1.

10.6.2 Minimum requirement for MSR operation

10.6.2.1 General minimum requirement

The OTA interfering signal RMS field-strength shall be set to 0.36 V/m at the RIB.

NOTE: The RMS field-strength level in V/m is related to the interferer EIRP level at a distance described as , where EIRP is in W and r is in m; for example, 0.36 V/m is equivalent to 36 dBm at fixed distance of 30 m.

For a wanted and an interfering signal coupled to the RIB using the parameters in table 10.6.2.1-1, the following requirements shall be met:

– For any E-UTRA carrier, the throughput shall be ≥ 95 % of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel defined in 3GPP TS 36.104 [8], subclause 7.2.1.

– For any UTRA FDD carrier, the BER shall not exceed 0.001 for the reference measurement channel defined in 3GPP TS 25.104 [6], subclause 7.2.1.

– For any NR carrier, the throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel defined for BS type 1-O in TS 38.104 [28], subclause 10.3.2.

For multi-band RIB, the requirement applies for each supported operating band. The in-band blocking frequency ranges of all supported operating bands according to table 10.6.2.1-1 shall be excluded from the requirement.

10.6.2.2 Co-location minimum requirement

This additional blocking requirement may be applied for the protection of AAS BS receivers when E-UTRA BS, NR BS, UTRA BS, CDMA BS or GSM/EDGE BS operating in a different frequency band are co-located with an AAS BS.

The requirement is a co-location requirement. The interferer power levels are specified at the co-location reference antenna conducted input. The interfering power is specified per supported polarization.

The requirement is valid over minSENS RoAoA.

When the wanted and an interfering signal using the parameters in table 10.6.2.2-1, the following requirements shall be met:

– For any E-UTRA carrier, the throughput shall be ≥ 95 % of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel defined in 3GPP TS 36.104 [8], subclause 7.2.1.

– For any UTRA FDD carrier, the BER shall not exceed 0,001 for the reference measurement channel defined in 3GPP TS 25.104 [6], subclause 7.2.1.

NOTE 1: EISminSENS depends on the RAT, the BS class and on the channel bandwidth, see subclauses 10.3 and 10.2.

NOTE 2: Except for a BS operating in Band 13, these requirements do not apply when the interfering signal falls within any of the supported uplink operating band or in the ΔfOOB immediately outside any of the supported uplink operating band.
For a BS operating in band 13 the requirements do not apply when the interfering signal falls within the frequency range 768 – 797 MHz.

NOTE 3: Some combinations of bands may not be possible to co-site based on the requirements above. The current state-of-the-art technology does not allow a single generic solution for co-location of UTRA TDD or E-UTRA TDD or NR TDD with E-UTRA FDD or NR FDD on adjacent frequencies with closely spaced antennas. However, there are certain site-engineering solutions that can be used. These techniques are addressed in 3GPP TR 25.942 [12].

NOTE 4: In China, the blocking requirement for co-location with DCS1800 and Band III BS is only applicable in the frequency range 1805 – 1850 MHz.

NOTE 5: For an AAS BS operating in band 11, 21, or 74 the requirement for co-location with Band 32 applies for interfering signal within the frequency range 1475.9 – 1495.9 MHz.

10.6.3 Minimum requirement for single RAT UTRA operation

10.6.3.1 General minimum requirement

In addition to the following in-band and narrowband requirements, the general minimum requirements relating to out of band blocking defined for MSR in subclause 10.6.2.1 shall also be applied for single RAT UTRA operation.

The minimum requirement for in-band blocking and narrowband blocking UTRA operation is defined below:

The requirement is applicable outside the Base Station RF Bandwidth or Radio Bandwidth. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges or Radio Bandwidth edges applicable to each RIB.

For RIB supporting operation in non-contiguous spectrum, the requirement applies in addition inside any sub-block gap, in case the sub-block gap size is at least 15MHz. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the sub-block edges inside the sub-block gap and is equal to -7.5MHz/+7.5MHz, respectively.

For a RIB supporting operation in non-contiguous spectrum the narrowband blocking requirement applies in addition inside any sub-block gap, in case the sub-block gap size is at least 400kHz or 600kHz, depending on the operating band. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the sub-block edges inside the sub-block gap and is equal to -200kHz/+200kHz or -300kHz/+300kHz, respectively.

For multi-band RIBs the requirement in the in-band blocking frequency range applies for each supported operating band. The requirement applies in addition inside any Inter RF Bandwidth gap, in case Inter RF Bandwidth gap size is at least 15MHz. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to lower/upper Base Station RF Bandwidth edges inside the Inter RF Bandwidth gap and is equal to -7.5MHz/+7.5MHz, respectively.

For multi-band RIBs the narrowband blocking requirement applies in addition inside any Inter RF Bandwidth gap, in case the Inter RF Bandwidth gap size is at least 400kHz or 600kHz, depending on the operating band. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to lower/upper Base Station RF Bandwidth edges inside the Inter RF Bandwidth gap and is equal to -200kHz/+200kHz or -300kHz/+300kHz, respectively.

For the wanted and interfering signal at the RIB, using the parameters in tables 10.6.4.1‑1 and 10.6.4.1‑2, the following requirements shall be met:

– For any UTRA FDD carrier, the BER shall not exceed 0,001 for the reference measurement channel defined in 3GPP TS 25.104 [6], subclause 7.2.1.

The OTA levels are applied referenced to 2 antenna gain offsets ΔOTAREFSENS and ΔminSENS.

NOTE 2: For multi-band RIBs, in case of interfering signal that is not in the in-band blocking frequency range of the operating band where the wanted signal is present, and not in the in-band blocking frequency range of an adjacent or overlapping operating band, the wanted Signal mean power is equal to -119.6 – ΔOTAREFSENS dBm or -119.6 – ΔminSENS dBm as appropriate.

NOTE: Table 10.6.4.1 assumes that two operating bands, where the downlink frequencies (see subclause 4.6) of one band would be within the in-band blocking region of the other band, are not deployed in the same geographical area.

10.6.3.2 Co-location minimum requirement

This additional blocking requirement may be applied for the protection of AAS BS receivers when E-UTRA BS, NR BS, UTRA BS, CDMA BS or GSM/EDGE BS operating in a different frequency band are co-located with an AAS BS.

The requirement is a co-location requirement. The interferer power levels are specified at the co-location reference antenna conducted input. The interfering power is specified per supported polarization.

The requirement is valid over minSENS RoAoA.

When the wanted and an interfering signal using the parameters in table 10.6.2.2-1 for co-location with UTRA or E-UTRA systems and table 10.6.3.2-1 for co-location with GSM systems, the following requirements shall be met:

– For any UTRA FDD carrier, the BER shall not exceed 0,001 for the reference measurement channel defined in 3GPP TS 25.104 [6], subclause 7.2.1.

NOTE 1: EISminSENS depends on the BS class and on the channel bandwidth, see subclause 10.2.

NOTE 2: Except for a BS operating in Band 13, these requirements do not apply when the interfering signal falls within any of the supported uplink operating band or in the ΔfOOB immediately outside any of the supported uplink operating band.
For a BS operating in band 13 the requirements do not apply when the interfering signal falls within the frequency range 768 – 797 MHz.

NOTE 3: Some combinations of bands may not be possible to co-site based on the requirements above. The current state-of-the-art technology does not allow a single generic solution for co-location of UTRA TDD or E-UTRA TDD or NR TDD with E-UTRA FDD or NR FDD on adjacent frequencies with closely spaced antennas. However, there are certain site-engineering solutions that can be used. These techniques are addressed in 3GPP TR 25.942 [12].

NOTE 4: In China, the blocking requirement for co-location with DCS1800 and Band III BS is only applicable in the frequency range 1805 – 1850 MHz.

NOTE 5: For an AAS BS operating in band 11, 21, or 74 this requirement applies for interfering signal within the frequency range 1475.9 – 1495.9 MHz.

10.6.4 Minimum requirement for single RAT E-UTRA operation

10.6.4.1 General minimum requirement

In addition to the following in-band and narrowband requirements, the general minimum requirements relating to out of band blocking defined for MSR in subclause 10.6.2.1 shall also be applied for single RAT E-UTRA operation.

The minimum requirement for in-band blocking E-UTRA operation is defined below:

The requirement is applicable outside the Base Station RF Bandwidth or Radio Bandwidth. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges or Radio Bandwidth edges applicable to each RIB.

For RIB supporting operation in non-contiguous spectrum, the requirement applies in addition inside any sub-block gap, in case the sub-block gap size is at least 15 MHz. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the sub-block edges inside the sub-block gap.

For multi-band RIBs, the requirement applies in addition inside any Inter RF Bandwidth gap, in case the gap size is at least 15 MHz. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges inside the Inter RF Bandwidth gap.

For the wanted and interfering signal at the RIB, using the parameters in tables 10.6.4.1‑1 and 10.6.4.1‑2, the following requirements shall be met:

– For any E-UTRA carrier, the throughput shall be ≥ 95 % of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel defined in 3GPP TS 36.104 [8], subclause 7.2.1.

The OTA levels are applied referenced to 2 antenna gain offsets ΔOTAREFSENS and ΔminSENS.

For multi-band RIBs, the requirement applies according to table 10.6.4.1-1 for the in-band blocking frequency ranges of each supported operating band.

NOTE 2: For multi-band RIBs, in case of interfering signal that is not in the in-band blocking frequency range of the operating band where the wanted signal is present, and not in the in-band blocking frequency range of an adjacent or overlapping operating band, the wanted signal mean power is equal to EISREFSENS +1.4 dB or EISminSENS +1.4 dB as appropriate.

10.6.4.2 Co-location minimum requirement

This additional blocking requirement may be applied for the protection of AAS BS receivers when E-UTRA BS, NR BS, UTRA BS, CDMA BS or GSM/EDGE BS operating in a different frequency band are co-located with an AAS BS.

The requirement is a co-location requirement. The interferer power levels are specified at the co-location reference antenna conducted input. The interfering power is specified per supported polarization.

The requirement is valid over minSENS RoAoA.

When the wanted and an interfering signal using the parameters in table 10.6.2.2-1 for co-location with UTRA or E-UTRA systems and table 10.6.4.2-1 for co-location with GSM systems, the following requirements shall be met:

– For any E-UTRA carrier, the throughput shall be ≥ 95 % of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel defined in 3GPP TS 36.104 [8], subclause 7.2.1.

NOTE 2: Except for a BS operating in Band 13, these requirements do not apply when the interfering signal falls within any of the supported uplink operating band or in the ΔfOOB immediately outside any of the supported uplink operating band.
For a BS operating in band 13 the requirements do not apply when the interfering signal falls within the frequency range 768 – 797 MHz.

NOTE 3: Some combinations of bands may not be possible to co-site based on the requirements above.

However, there are certain site-engineering solutions that can be used. These techniques are addressed in 3GPP TR 25.942 [12].

NOTE 4: In China, the blocking requirement for co-location with DCS1800 and Band III BS is only applicable in the frequency range 1805 – 1850 MHz.

NOTE 5: For an AAS BS operating in band 11, 21, or 74 the requirement for co-location with Band 32 applies for interfering signal within the frequency range 1475.9 – 1495.9 MHz.

10.7 OTA Receiver spurious emissions

10.7.1 General

The receiver spurious emission requirement is the power of the emissions radiated from the antenna array from a receiver unit. For an OTA AAS BS operating in FDD, OTA RX spurious emissions requirement do not apply as they are superseded by the OTA TX spurious emissions requirement. This is due to the fact that TX and RX spurious emissions cannot be distinguished in OTA domain.

NOTE: The OTA receiver spurious emission requirement applicability for the AAS BS with the RX-only capabilities is not covered by the present release of this specification.

For an OTA AAS BS operating in TDD, the OTA receiver spurious emissions requirement applies during the transmitter OFF period only.

For RX only multi-band RIB, the RX spurious emissions requirements are subject to exclusion zones in each supported operating band.

10.7.2 Minimum requirement for MSR operation

10.7.2.1 General minimum requirement

There are no OTA receiver spurious emissions requirements for UTRA FDD.

For E-UTRA, the minimum requirement is specified in subclause 10.7.4

For NR, the minimum requirement is the same as that specified for BS type 1-O in TS 38.104 [28] in subclause 10.7.2

10.7.3 Minimum requirement for single RAT UTRA operation

There are no OTA receiver spurious emissions requirements for single RAT UTRA FDD.

10.7.4 Minimum requirement for single RAT E-UTRA operation

The TRP of any spurious emission shall not exceed the limits in table 10.7.4-1:

10.8 OTA Receiver intermodulation

10.8.1 General

Third and higher order mixing of the two interfering RF signals can produce an interfering signal in the band of the desired channel. Intermodulation response rejection is a measure of the capability of the receiver unit to receive a wanted signal on its assigned channel frequency in the presence of two interfering signals which have a specific frequency relationship to the wanted signal.

The requirement applies at the RIB when the AoA of the incident wave of a received signal and the interfering signal are from the same direction, and:

– when the wanted signal is based on EISREFSENS : the AoA of the incident wave of a received signal and the interfering signal are within the OTA REFSENS RoAoA.

– when the wanted signal is based on EISminSENS : the AoA of the incident wave of a received signal and the interfering signal are within the minSENS RoAoA.

The wanted and interfering signals apply to each supported polarization, under the assumption of polarization match.

10.8.2 Minimum requirement for MSR operation

10.8.2.1 General intermodulation minimum requirement

Interfering signals shall be a CW signal and an E-UTRA or UTRA signal as specified in 3GPP TS 37.104 [9], annex A.

The requirement is applicable outside the Base Station RF Bandwidth or Radio Bandwidth. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges or Radio Bandwidth edges.

For multi-band RIBs, the requirement applies in addition inside any Inter RF Bandwidth gap, in case the gap size is at least twice as wide as the UTRA/E-UTRA interfering signal centre frequency offset from the Base Station RF Bandwidth edge. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges inside the Inter RF Bandwidth gap.

For the wanted signal at the assigned channel frequency and two interfering signals at the RIB, using the parameters in tables 10.8.2.1-1 and 10.8.2.1-2, the following requirements shall be met:

– For any E-UTRA carrier, the throughput shall be ≥ 95 % of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel defined in 3GPP TS 36.104 [8], subclause 7.2.1.

– For any UTRA FDD carrier, the BER shall not exceed 0,001 for the reference measurement channel defined in 3GPP TS 25.104 [6], subclause 7.2.1.

– For any NR carrier, the throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel defined for BS type 1-O in TS 38.104 [28], subclause 10.3.2

The OTA levels are applied referenced to 2 antenna gain offsets ΔOTAREFSENS and ΔminSENS.

10.9 OTA In-channel selectivity

10.9.1 General

In-channel selectivity (ICS) is a measure of the receiver unit 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 requirement applies at the RIB when the AoA of the incident wave of a received signal and the interfering signal are from the same direction and are within the minSENS RoAoA.

The wanted and interfering signals apply to each supported polarization, under the assumption of polarization match.

10.9.2 Minimum requirement for MSR operation

For E-UTRA, the minimum requirement for in-channel selectivity is specified in subclause 10.9.4.

For NR, the minimum requirement for in channel selecitivity is the same as that specified for BS type 1-O in 3GPP TS 38.104 [28] in subclause 10.9.2

This requirement is not applicable for UTRA operation.

10.9.3 Minimum requirement for single RAT UTRA operation

This requirement is not applicable for UTRA BS.

10.9.4 Minimum requirement for single RAT E- UTRA operation

For E-UTRA, the throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel as specified in 3GPP 36.104 [8] Annex A with parameters specified in table 10.9.4-1 for Wide Area BS, in table 10.9.4-2 for Local Area BS and in table 10.9.4-3 for Medium Range BS.

The OTA levels are applied referenced to ΔminSENS.
