3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in TR 21.905 [1] and the following apply. A term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in TR 21.905 [1].
Browsing mode position: UE is held in hand, but not pressed against ear (such as web browsing and navigation).
Data mode transfer position: UE used away from the user’s head, applicable for LME and LEE devices.
FS: UE used in a free space configuration.
Intended use position: UE is attached to the SAM phantom intended for use in the check position.
LEE: Laptop embedded equipment (such as embedded module card embedded in notebooks).
LME: Laptop mounted equipment (such as plug-in devices like USB dongles).
Primary mechanical mode: The mode that is most often used during a call beside the head. Other mechanical modes are secondary. Every terminal has at least one primary mechanical mode.
Speech mode position: UE is placed into a hand phantom, which is holding the UE against the SAM head phantom.
