5.2A.1 Inter-band CA between FR1 and FR2
NR carrier aggregation is designed to operate in the operating bands defined in Table 5.2A.1‑1 and Table 5.2A.1-2. The band combinations include at least one FR1 operating band and one FR2 operating band.
Operating bands for CA including Band n90 are defined by the corresponding operating bands for CA including Band n41 with Band n90 replacing Band n41. For brevity the said operating bands for CA including Band n90 are not listed in the tables below but are covered by this specification.
If the mandatory simultaneous Rx/Tx capability applies for a lower order 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 pairin the higher order band combination.
