3.1 Terms

For the purposes of the present document, the terms given in 3GPP TR 21.905 [1] and the following apply. A term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in 3GPP TR 21.905 [1].

PSP (PAS Similarity Percentage): The similarity of the PAS produced by the OTA system and the reference PAS, which is presented by the Total Variation Distance (TVD) of power angular spectrum (PAS). PSP is defined as (1-TVD)*100%. PSP=100% denotes full similarity and PSP=0% denotes full dissimilarity.

3.2 Symbols

For the purposes of the present document, the following symbols apply:

PRS-EPRE-MAX Maximum downlink RS-EPRE

3.3 Abbreviations

For the purposes of the present document, the abbreviations given in 3GPP TR 21.905 [1] and the following apply. An abbreviation defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same abbreviation, if any, in 3GPP TR 21.905 [1].
