5 Applicability of Requirements

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

5.1 General

The applicability of requirements is related to the band categories described in 3GPP TS 37.104 [5]. This clause captures the requirement clauses’ applicability for the respective band categories depending on the operating band specific BS RAT/MSR capability. For each individual band, the manufacturer declares whether the AAS BS conforms to MSR or single RAT requirements.

The applicability of requirements is further related to the declared AAS BS architecture, either a hybrid AAS BS or a OTA AAS BS. This clause captures the requirement clauses applicability to either the hybrid AAS BS requirement set or the OTA AAS BS requirement set. The manufacturer declares whether the AAS BS conforms to the hybrid AAS BS requirement set or the OTA AAS BS requirement set.

In the present specification, requirements for MSR operation and for single RAT operation are defined. If the AAS BS is declared to be single RAT in an operating band, the respective requirements for single RAT operation (derived from 3GPP TS 25.104 [2], 3GPP TS 25.105 [3] or 3GPP TS 36.104 [4]) apply in that operating band. If the AAS BS is declared to be MSR (operating one or more RATs) in the operating band, the requirements for MSR operation (derived from 3GPP TS 35.104 [5]) apply to that operating band. Where requirements for MSR operation comprise RAT specific requirements, these apply only when the AAS BS is operating the RAT in the operating band.

NOTE: An AAS BS declared MSR in an operating band and operating only one RAT is differentiated from an AAS BS declared single RAT in the operating band by the fact that requirements are derived from 3GPP TS 37.104 [5] rather than from the single RAT specifications 3GPP TS 25.104 [2], 3GPP TS 25.105 [3] or 3GPP TS 36.104 [4].

5.2 Band category 1 (BC1) and band category 2 (BC2)

The RF requirements listed in table 5.2-1 apply to AAS BS for each supported operating band belonging to BC1 and BC2. Requirements apply according to the RAT/MSR capability of the AAS BS in the operating band, as listed in the heading of the table and the declared requirement set (hybrid or OTA). Some requirements listed in the table may not be mandatory or they may apply only regionally. This is further specified in the subclause treating each requirement and in table 4.5-1.

NOTE: Bands in BC1 and BC2 categories are also used for NB-IoT operation. NB-IoT is not applicable for AAS BS.

For operation in multiple operating bands, the applicability of the requirements in table 5.2-1 is determined based on the manufacturer declared AAS BS RAT and single RAT/MSR conformance for each operating band. The applicability of multi-band requirements respective single band requirements is defined in clause 4.9 and in each referred clause in the table but it cannot be determined by the table itself.

NOTE: For some requirements, the requirement is defined by reference to the respective non-AAS BS. These requirements cannot be identified from this table.

5.3 Band category 3 (BC3)

The RF requirements listed in table 5.3-1 apply to AAS BS for each supported operating band belonging to BC3. Requirements apply according to the RAT/MSR capability of the AAS BS in the operating band, as listed in the heading of the table and the declared requirement set (hybrid or OTA). 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 4.5-1.

For operation in multiple operating bands, the applicability of the requirements in table 5.3-1 is determined based on the manufacturer declared AAS BS RAT and single RAT/MSR conformance for each operating band. The applicability of multi-band requirements respective single band requirements is defined in clause 4.9 and in each referred clause in the table but it cannot be determined by the table itself.
