5.3B UE Channel bandwidth for EN-DC
38.101-33GPPNRPart 3: Range 1 and Range 2 Interworking operation with other radiosRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) radio transmission and reception
5.3B.0 General
For intra-band contiguous EN-DC, the aggregated channel bandwidth is sum of the individual NR and E-UTRA channel bandwidths assuming nominal EN-DC channel with 0 kHz offset spacing as specified in clause 5.4.
ENBW = BWNR_Channel + BWE-UTRA_Channel
In the case where the NR sub-block and/or the E-UTRA sub-block itself is composed of intra-band contiguous CA carriers, the EN-DC aggregated channel bandwidth is the sum of the aggregated channel bandwidths of the NR and E-UTRA sub-blocks assuming nominal EN-DC channel spacing between the NR sub-block and E-UTRA sub-block.
ENBW = BWNR_Channel_CA + BWE-UTRA_Channel_CA
For NR inter-band dual connectivity specified in 5.5B.7, the corresponding NR CA configurations in 5.5A.1, i.e., dual uplink inter-band carrier aggregation between FR1 and FR2 with uplink assigned to two NR bands, are applicable to Dual Connectivity.
NOTE 1: Requirements for the dual connectivity configurations are defined in the clause corresponding NR uplink CA between FR1 and FR2 configurations, unless otherwise specified.
Intra-band contiguous EN-DC configurations are defined using intra-band contiguous EN-DC bandwidth class notation DC_(n)Xyz where the first EN-DC bandwidth class letter y indicates the number of contiguous E-UTRA carriers and the second EN-DC bandwidth class letter z indicates the number of contiguous NR carriers for the EN-DC combination of E-UTRA Band X and NR Band nX. Applicable contiguous intraband EN-DC bandwidth classes are listed in Table 5.3B.0-1.

The UE channel bandwidths for band combinations including Band n41 also apply for the corresponding band combinations with Band n90 replacing Band n41 but with otherwise identical parameters. For brevity the said UE channel bandwidths for band combinations with Band n90 are not listed in the tables below but are covered by this specification.
5.3B.1 Intra-band EN-DC in FR1
5.3B.1.1 General
The requirements for intra-band EN-DC in this specification are defined for EN-DC configurations with associated bandwidth combination sets.
For each EN-DC configuration, requirements are specified for all bandwidth combinations contained in a bandwidth combination set, which is indicated per supported band combination in the UE radio access capability. A UE can indicate support of several bandwidth combination sets per band combination.
5.3B.1.2 BCS for Intra-band contiguous EN-DC
For intra-band contiguous EN-DC, an EN-DC configuration is a single operating band supporting an intra-band contiguous EN-DC bandwidth class.
Bandwidth combination sets for intra-band contiguous EN-DC are specified in Table 5.3B.1.2-1. The EN-DC configurations and bandwidth combination sets in Table 5.3B.1.2-1 also apply to higher order EN-DC combinations that include inter-band and intra-band EN-DC on the downlink and inter-band EN-DC on the uplink. If no BCS is reported in the UE capabilities for an intra-band combination the default is that the UE supports BCS0.

NOTE 1: Void NOTE 2: Void NOTE 3: For maximum DL aggregated bandwidth of 25 MHz the asymmetric UL and DL channel bandwidth combination of Table 5.3.6-1 in TS 38.101-1 [2] is used with a maximum UL contiguous aggregated bandwidth of 20 MHz. Furthermore, a restriction is imposed on bandwidth combinations so that only a subset of BCS1 is allowed to be used on the uplink, and this subset is equivalent to BCS0. NOTE4: Only single switched UL is supported. NOTE5: The minimum requirements only apply for non-simultaneous Tx/Rx between all carriers. NOTE 6: Bandwidth Combination Set 2 only applies to intra-band EN-DC with uplink in n71 but not in Band 71, and paired with another E-UTRA band. |

5.3B.1.3 BCS for Intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC
For intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC, an EN-DC configuration is a single operating band supporting E-UTRA and NR carriers, where E-UTRA configuration is indicated by using E-UTRA CA bandwidth class as defined in TS 36.101 [4] and NR configuration is indicated by using NR CA bandwidth class as defined in TS 38.101-1 [2].
Requirements for intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC are defined for the EN-DC configurations and bandwidth combination sets specified in Table 5.3B.1.3-1. The EN-DC configurations and bandwidth combination sets in Table 5.3B.1.3-1 also apply to higher order EN-DC combinations that include inter-band and intra-band EN-DC on the downlink and inter-band EN-DC on the uplink. If no BCS is reported in the UE capabilities for an intra-band combination the default is that the UE supports BCS0.
