E.1 Introduction

3GPP45.005GSM/EDGE Radio transmission and receptionTS

A repeater receives amplifies and transmits simultaneously both the radiated RF carrier in the downlink direction (from the base station to the mobile area) and in the uplink direction (from the mobile to the base station).

This annex details the minimum radio frequency performance of repeaters operating in frequency bands defined in clause 2 of this document. The environmental conditions for repeaters are specified in annex D.3, of 3GPP TS 45.005. The precise measurement methods for repeaters are specified in 3GPP TS 51.026 [35]. Further application dependant requirements on repeaters need to be considered by operators before they are deployed. These network planning aspects of repeaters are covered in 3GPP TR 43.030.

The following requirements apply to the uplink and downlink directions.

In clauses 2 and 3 the maximum output power per carrier is the value declared by the manufacturer.

BTS and MS transmit bands are as defined in clause 2 of 3GPP TS 45.005.
