6.6A Beam correspondence for CA

38.101-23GPPNRPart 2: Range 2 StandaloneRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) radio transmission and reception

For intra-band CA in FR2, the same beam correspondence relationship for beam management is supported across CCs in this release of the specification and no requirement is specified. Beam correspondence performance for intra-band CA is fulfilled if the beam correspondence requirements defined in clause 6.6 is met for non-CA case.

For inter-band carrier aggregation with uplink assigned to two NR bands, and each UL band is configured with a single CC, with all CCs active with non-zero UL RB allocation, the following beam correspondence requirements apply for each CC:

1 The minimum peak EIRP requirement specified for UL inter-band CA in 6.2A, based on test conditions in clause 6.6. Reference signal power adjustments by MB_S,n are replaced by ΔR_IB,S,n, where referenced.

2 The common spherical coverage requirement specified for UL inter-band CA in 6.2A, based on test conditions in clause 6.6. Reference signal power adjustments by MB_S,n are replaced by ΔR_IB,S,n, where referenced.
