7.3I Reference sensitivity for RedCap
38.101-13GPPNRPart 1: Range 1 StandaloneRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) radio transmission and reception
7.3I.1 General
The reference sensitivity power level REFSENS is the minimum mean power applied to each one of the UE antenna ports for all UE categories, at which the throughput shall meet or exceed the requirements for the specified reference measurement channel.
7.3I.2 Reference sensitivity power level
For a RedCap UE equipped with 2 Rx antenna ports, the throughput shall be ≥ 95 % of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annexes A.2.2.2, A3.2 and A.3.3 (with one sided dynamic OCNG Pattern OP.1 FDD/TDD for the DL-signal as described in Annex A.5.1.1/A.5.2.1) with parameters specified in Table 7.3.2-1a and Table 7.3.2-1b for the applicable operating bands. The reference sensitivity (REFSENS) requirement specified for a RedCap UE equipped with 2 Rx antenna ports shall be met with uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to that specified in Table 7.3.2-3 and, for FDD bands, with the Tx-Rx separation as defined in clause 5.4.4 for the applicable band and UE channel bandwidth.
For a RedCap UE equipped with 1 Rx antenna ports, reference sensitivity for 2Rx antenna ports in Table 7.3.2-1a and in Table 7.3.2-1b shall be modified by the amount given in ΔR1R in Table 7.3I.2-1 for the applicable operating bands. The reference sensitivity (REFSENS) requirement specified for a RedCap UE equipped with 1 Rx antenna ports shall be met with uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to that specified in Table 7.3.2-3 and, for FDD bands, with the Tx-Rx separation as defined in clause 5.4.4 for the applicable band and UE channel bandwidth.
