1 Scope
The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for the types of equipment:
1) Base Station for Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA).
2) Base Station for Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) with NB-IoT.
3) Base Station for NB-IoT standalone.
This radio equipment type is capable of operating in all or any part of the operating bands given in table 1-1. Unless
stated otherwise, requirements specified for the TDD duplex mode apply for downlink and uplink operations in Frame
Structure Type 2. NB-IoT is designed to operate in the E-UTRA operating bands 1, 3, 8, 20, 28 which are defined in
table 1-1.

1 Scope
The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for the types of equipment:
1) Base Station for Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA).
2) Base Station for Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) with NB-IoT.
3) Base Station for NB-IoT standalone.
This radio equipment type is capable of operating in all or any part of the operating bands given in table 1-1. Unless
stated otherwise, requirements specified for the TDD duplex mode apply for downlink and uplink operations in Frame
Structure Type 2. NB-IoT is designed to operate in the E-UTRA operating bands 1, 3, 8, 20, 28 which are defined in
table 1-1.
