7.6C.1 General

7.6C.2 In-band blocking for SUL

For SUL operation, the in-band blocking requirement for downlink bands specified in clause 7.6.2 shall be met.

For SUL operation with downlink CA, the in-band blocking requirement for downlink bands specified in clause 7.6A.2 shall be met.

7.6C.3 Out-of-band blocking for SUL

For SUL operation, the out-of-band blocking requirement for downlink bands specified in clause 7.6.3 shall be met. For SUL operation with downlink CA, the out-of-band blocking requirement for downlink bands specified in clause 7.6A.3 shall be met. For operation band combination listed in Table 7.6C.3-1, exceptions to the requirement specified in Table 7.6C.3-2 are allowed when the second order intermodulation product of the SUL carrier and the CW interfering signal fully or partially overlaps with the DL carrier.

NOTE 1: The requirement applies when, where and are the channel bandwidths configured for SUL and DL (victim) bands in MHz, respectively.

For all interferer frequency ranges specified in clause 7.6.3 a maximum of

exceptions are allowed for spurious response frequencies in each assigned frequency channel when measured using a step size of MHz with NRB the number of resource blocks in the downlink transmission bandwidth configuration, BWChannel the bandwidth of the frequency channel in MHz and n = 1, 2, 3 for SCS = 15, 30, 60 kHz, respectively. For these exceptions, the requirements in clause 7.7 apply.

7.6C.4 Narrow band blocking for SUL

Narrow band blocking is not specified for SUL band combination.
