38.1083GPPNRRelease 17Satellite Access Node radio transmission and receptionTS

Tools: ARFCN - Frequency Conversion for 5G NR/LTE/UMTS/GSM

The parameters for the reference measurement channels are specified in table A.1-1 for FR1 reference sensitivity level, ACS, out-of-band blocking, in-channel selectivity, OTA sensitivity, OTA reference sensitivity level, OTA ACS, OTA out-of-band blocking and OTA in-channel selectivity.

The reference measurement channels for the dynamic range requirement are captured in annex A.2.

NOTE 1: UL-DMRS-config-type = 1 with UL-DMRS-max-len = 1, UL-DMRS-add-pos = 1 with l₀= 2, l = 11 as per table 6.4.1.1.3-3 of TS 38.211 [5]. NOTE 2: MCS index 4 and target coding rate = 308/1024 are adopted to calculate payload size for receiver sensitivity and in-channel selectivity. NOTE 3: Code block size including CRC (bits) equals to K’ in clause 5.2.2 of TS 38.212 [10].
