A.1.1 IAB-DU Reference measurement channels
The Annex A in TS 38.141-2 [6] applies to IAB-DU.
A.1.2 IAB-MT Reference measurement channels
A.1.2.1 Fixed Reference Channels for reference sensitivity level, ACS, in-band blocking, out-of-band blocking and receiver intermodulation (QPSK, R=1/3)
The parameters for the reference measurement channels are specified in tables A.1.2.1-1 for FR1 reference sensitivity level, ACS, in-band blocking, out-of-band blocking, receiver intermodulation, OTA sensitivity, OTA reference sensitivity level, OTA ACS, OTA in-band blocking, OTA out-of-band blocking, and OTA receiver intermodulation.
The parameters for the reference measurement channels are specified in tables A.1.2.1-2 for FR2 OTA reference sensitivity level, OTA ACS, OTA in-band blocking, and OTA out-of-band blocking.
Table A1.2.1-1: FRC parameters for FR1 reference sensitivity level for IAB-MT.
