5.2C Operating band combination for SUL

38.101-13GPPNRPart 1: Range 1 StandaloneRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) radio transmission and reception

NR operation is designed to operate in the operating band combination defined in Table 5.2C-1, Table 5.2C-2, Table 5.2C-3 and Table 5.2C-4, where all operating bands are within FR1.

If the mandatory simultaneous Rx/Tx capability applies for a band combination, when the applicable lower order band combination is a band pair in a higher order band combination, the mandatory simultaneous Rx/Tx capability also applies for the band pair in the higher order band combination.

NOTE 1: If a UE is configured with both NR UL and NR SUL carriers in a cell, the switching time between NR UL carrier and NR SUL carrier is 0 us.

NOTE 2: For UE supporting SUL band combination simultaneous Rx/Tx capability is mandatory.
