7.5A.1 Adjacent channel selectivity for Intra-band contiguous CA

For intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation the downlink SCC(s) shall be configured at nominal channel spacing to the PCC. The UE shall fulfil the minimum requirement specified in Table 7.5A.1-1 and 7.5A.1-1a for an adjacent channel interferer on either side of the aggregated downlink signal at a specified frequency offset and for an interferer power up to -25 dBm.

The throughput of each carrier shall be ≥ 95 % of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annexes A.2.2, A.3.2, 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 Tables 7.5A.1-2, 7.5A.1-2a, 7.5A.1-3 and 7.5A.1-3a.

7.5A.2 Adjacent channel selectivity Intra-band non-contiguous CA

For intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation with F_{DL_low} < 2700 MHz and F_{UL_low} < 2700 MHz with one uplink carrier and two or more downlink sub-blocks, each larger than or equal to 5 MHz, the adjacent channel selectivity requirements are defined with the uplink configuration in accordance with Table 7.3A.2.2-1. For this uplink configuration, the UE shall meet the requirements for each sub-block as specified in clauses 7.5 and 7.5A.1 for one component carrier and two component carriers per sub-block, respectively. The UE shall fulfil the minimum requirements all values of a single adjacent channel interferer in-gap and out-of-gap up to a –25 dBm interferer power while all downlink carriers are active. For the lower range of test parameters (Case 1), the interferer power Pinterferer shall be set to the maximum of the levels given by the carriers of the respective sub-blocks as specified in Table 7.5-3 and Table 7.5A.1-2a for one component carrier and two component carriers per sub-block, respectively. The wanted signal power levels for the carriers of each sub-block shall then be adjusted relative to Pinterferer in accordance with the ACS requirement for each sub-block (Table 7.5-1 and Table 7.5A.1-1a). For the upper range of test parameters (Case 2) for which the interferer power Pinterferer is -25 dBm (Table 7.5-4 and Table 7.5A.1-3a) the wanted signal power levels for the carriers of each sub-block shall be adjusted relative to Pinterferer like for Case 1.

For intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation with F_{DL_low} ≥ 3300 MHz and F_{UL_low} ≥ 3300 MHz with one uplink carrier and two or more downlink sub-blocks, each larger than or equal to 5 MHz, the adjacent channel selectivity requirements are defined with the uplink configuration in accordance with Table 7.3A.2.2-1. For this uplink configuration, the UE shall meet the requirements for each sub-block as specified in clauses 7.5 and 7.5A.1 for one component carrier and two component carriers per sub-block, respectively. The UE shall fulfil the minimum requirements all values of a single adjacent channel interferer in-gap and out-of-gap up to a –25 dBm interferer power while all downlink carriers are active. For the lower range of test parameters (Case 1), the interferer power Pinterferer shall be set to the maximum of the levels given by the carriers of the respective sub-blocks as specified in Table 7.5-5 and Table 7.5A.1-2 for one component carrier and two component carriers per sub-block, respectively. The wanted signal power levels for the carriers of each sub-block shall then be adjusted relative to Pinterferer in accordance with the ACS requirement for each sub-block (Table 7.5-2 and Table 7.5A.1-1). For the upper range of test parameters (Case 2) for which the interferer power Pinterferer is -25 dBm (Table 7.5-6 and Table 7.5A.1-3) the wanted signal power levels for the carriers of each sub-block shall be adjusted relative to Pinterferer like for Case 1.

7.5A.3 Adjacent channel selectivity Inter-band CA

For inter-band carrier aggregation with one component carrier per operating band and the uplink assigned to one NR band, the adjacent channel requirements are defined with the uplink active on the band(s) other than the band whose downlink is being tested. For NR CA configurations including an operating band without uplink operation or an operating band with an unpaired DL part (as noted in Table 5.2-1), the requirements for all downlinks shall be met with the single uplink carrier active in each band capable of UL operation. The UE shall meet the requirements specified in clause 7.5 for each component carrier while all downlink carriers are active.
