Note 1: Notation used for SUL configurations is according to TS 38.101-1 [23] Table 5.5C-1, e.g. ‘SUL_n78A-n80A’ indicates SUL operation on NR bands n78 and n80 with UL CA Bandwidth Class A on both bands. Note 2: The ULTxSwitching capability can be reported on SUL band combinations. The UE supplier shall indicate SUL band pairs on which it supports ULTxSwitching. For this release of specification valid choices are ’N’ and ‘nX-nY’, where both nX and nY are NR bands. For example, for SUL_n78A-n80A, N would mean not supporting ULTxSwitching, ‘n78-n80’ would mean supporting of ULTxSwitching on this band pair. The ULTxSwitching is only tested with 2 UL CCs, so UE is allowed to report ‘N’ by default for SUL configuration with > 2 component carriers. Note 3: ULSwitching(Table A.4.3.2C.2-1) shall return all supported SUL Configurations where at least one SUL band pair was declared in column “Supported ULTxSwitching Band Pair". |
