6.5 Random access and paging performance at high input levels

3GPP45.005GSM/EDGE Radio transmission and receptionTS

a) MS requirements

Under static propagation conditions with a received input level from 20 dB above the reference sensitivity level or from 20 dB above the input signal level at reference performance (CC1) for EC-GSM-IoT

– up to -15 dBm for GSM 400, GSM 700, GSM 850 and GSM900 and

– up to -23 dBm for DCS1800 and PCS 1 900,

the MS FER shall be less than 0,1% for PCH and MS BLER when in EC operation less than 0,1% for EC-PCH.

b) BTS requirements

Under static propagation conditions with a received input level from 20 dB above the reference sensitivity level or from 20 dB above the input signal level at reference performance (CC1) for EC-GSM-IoT

– up to ‑15 dBm for GSM 400, GSM 700, GSM 850 and GSM900 normal BTS and multicarrier BTS excluding multicarrier BTS equipped with multicarrier receiver,

– up to -16 dBm for GSM400, GSM 850 and GSM900 multicarrier BTS equipped with multicarrier receiver and

– up to ‑23 dBm for DCS1800 and PCS 1 900, normal BTS and multicarrier BTS

and a single MS sending an access burst, the BTS FER shall be less than 0,5% for RACH and BTS BLER less than 0,5% for EC-RACH.

For multicarrier BTS equipped with multicarrier receiver, input levels shall be adjusted by 0 dB, +4 dB or +9 dB for the Wide Area, Medium Range and Local Area classes, respectively.
