5.1 General

The channel arrangements presented in this clause are based on the operating bands defined in the present release of specifications.

NOTE: Other operating bands may be considered in future releases.

Requirements throughout the RF specifications are in many cases defined separately for different frequency ranges (FR). The frequency ranges in which NR can operate according to the present version of the specification are identified as described in table 5.1-1.

Table 5.1-1: Definition of frequency ranges

Frequency range designation		Corresponding frequency range
FR1		410 MHz – 7125 MHz
FR2	FR2-1	24250 MHz – 52600 MHz
	FR2-2	52600 MHz – 71000 MHz

Whenever FR2 is referred, both FR2-1 and FR2-2 frequency sub-ranges shall be applied, unless otherwise stated.

5.2 Operating bands

NR repeater is designed to operate in the operating bands in FR1 and FR2-1 defined in TS 38.104 [2] except the operating bands n46, n96 and n102.

5.3 Channel arrangement

5.3.1 Channel raster

5.3.1.1 NR-ARFCN and channel raster

The NR-ARFCN and channel raster is the same as specified for BS in TS 38.104 [2], subclause 5.4.2.1.

5.3.1.2 Channel raster entries for each operating band

The channel raster entries for NR bands for FR1 and FR2-1 defined in TS 38.104 [2] are the same as specified for BS in TS38.104 [2], clause 5.4.2.3.

5.3.2 Synchronization raster

5.3.2.1 Synchronization raster and numbering

The synchronization raster and numbering are the same as specified for BS in TS38.104 [2], clause 5.4.3.1.

5.3.2.2 Synchronization raster entries for each operating band

The synchronization raster entries for NR bands for FR1 and FR2-1 defined in TS38.104 [2] are the same as specified for BS in TS38.104 [2], clause 5.4.3.3.
