5.5A.2 Configurations for intra-band non-contiguous CA

Configurations listed in this clause apply to downlink carrier aggregation only.

NOTE: Sub-blocks belonging to a CA configuration can be in any order. In other words certain CA configuration acronym includes all sub-block arrangements which have exactly the same sub-block set. As an example, CA_n260(2G-3O) denotes CA_n260(2O-2G-O), CA_n260(G-3O-G) etc. but these are not listed in tables separately.
