NOTE 1: Manufacturer declarations applicable per IAB requirement set were marked as "x". Manufacturer declarations not applicable per IAB requirement set were marked as "n/a".

NOTE 2: For IAB type 1-H, the only radiated declarations are related to EIRP and EIS requirements. For IAB type 1-H declarations required for the conducted requirements testing, refer to TS 38.176-1 [3]. For declarations marked as ‘c’, related conducted declarations in TS 38.176-1 [3] apply. When separately declared, they shall still use the same declaration identifier.

NOTE 3: Depending on the capability of the system some of these beams may be the same. For those same beams, testing is not repeated.

NOTE 4: These operating bands are related to their respective single‑band RIBs.

NOTE 5: As each identified OSDD has a declared minimum EIS value (D.27), multiple operating band can only be declared if they have the same minimum EIS declaration.

NOTE 6: If the IAB type 1-H or IAB type 1-O is not capable of redirecting the receiver target related to the OSDD then there is only one RoAoA applicable to the OSDD.

NOTE 7: Although EIS_{REFSENS_50M} level is based on a reference measurement channel with BW_Channel = 50 MHz, it does not imply that IAB-DU or IAB-MT has to support 50 MHz channel bandwidth.

NOTE 8: Not applicable for IAB type 2-O.

NOTE 9: For an OSDD without receiver target redirection range, this is a direction inside the sensitivity RoAoA.

NOTE 10: OTA coverage range is used for conformance testing of such TX OTA requirements as occupied bandwidth, frequency error, TAE or EVM.

NOTE 11: The OTA coverage reference direction may be the same as the Reference beam direction pair (D.8) but does not have to be.

NOTE 12: If an IAB type 2-O is capable of 64QAM DL operation but not capable of 256QAM DL operation, then up to two rated output power declarations may be made. One declaration is applicable when configured for 64QAM transmissions and the other declaration is applicable when not configured for 64QAM transmissions.

NOTE 13: If D.57 and D.58 are declared for certain frequency range (D.56), there shall be no "Rated beam EIRP" declaration (D.11) for the operating band containing that particular frequency range.

NOTE 14: If an IAB type 1-H or IAB type 1-O is capable of 256QAM DL operation then two rated output power declarations may be made. One declaration is applicable when configured for 256QAM transmissions and the other declaration is applicable when not configured for 256QAM transmissions.

One declaration is applicable when configured for 256QAM transmissions, a different declaration is applicable when configured for 64QAM transmissions and the other declaration is applicable when not configured neither for 256QAM nor 64QAM transmissions.

NOTE 19: The power difference is declared at highest rated output power (D.38).
