position or location);
ETSI
10 Draft ETSI EN 301 908-3 V13.0.1 (2017-12)
the equipment cannot be used on a standalone basis to provide user functions independently of a
BS; and

3.1 Terms
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms apply:
ancillary equipment: equipment (apparatus) used in connection with a Base Station
NOTE: This is considered as an ancillary equipment (apparatus) if:
the equipment is intended for use in conjunction with a Base Station to provide additional
operational and/or control features to the radio equipment, (e.g. to extend control to another
position or location);
the equipment cannot be used on a standalone basis to provide user functions independently of a
BS; and
ETSI
10 Final draft ETSI EN 301 908-3 V13.1.0 (2019-07)

carrier(s)
multi-band receiver: receiver characterized by the ability to process two or more carriers in common active RF

operating bands for E-UTRA are designated with Arabic numerals.
output power: mean power of one carrier of the Base Station, delivered to a load with resistance equal to the nominal
load impedance of the transmitter

3 Definition of terms, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Terms
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms apply:
ancillary equipment: equipment (apparatus) used in connection with a Base Station
NOTE: This is considered as an ancillary equipment (apparatus) if:
the equipment is intended for use in conjunction with a Base Station to provide additional
operational and/or control features to the radio equipment, (e.g. to extend control to another
position or location);
the equipment cannot be used on a standalone basis to provide user functions independently of a
BS; and
ETSI
10 ETSI EN 301 908-3 V13.1.1 (2019-09)
the BS to which it is connected, is capable of providing some intended operation such as

Base Station, as declared by the manufacturer

multi-carrier transmission configuration: set of one or more contiguous or non-contiguous carriers that a BS is able
to transmit simultaneously according to the manufacturer's specification
non-contiguous spectrum: spectrum consisting of two or more sub-blocks separated by sub-block gap(s)
operating band: frequency range that is defined with a specific set of technical requirements, in which UTRA FDD

operating bands for E-UTRA are designated with Arabic numerals.
output power: mean power of one carrier of the Base Station, delivered to a load with resistance equal to the nominal
load impedance of the transmitter
rated output power: mean power level per carrier that the manufacturer has declared to be available at the antenna

3 Definition of terms, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Terms
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms apply:
ancillary equipment: equipment (apparatus) used in connection with a Base Station
NOTE: This is considered as an ancillary equipment (apparatus) if:
the equipment is intended for use in conjunction with a Base Station to provide additional
operational and/or control features to the radio equipment, (e.g. to extend control to another
position or location);
the equipment cannot be used on a standalone basis to provide user functions independently of a
BS; and
ETSI
10 ETSI EN 301 908-3 V13.1.1 (2019-09)
the BS to which it is connected, is capable of providing some intended operation such as
transmitting and/or receiving without the ancillary equipment (i.e. it is not a sub-unit of the main
equipment essential to the main equipment basic functions).
Base Station class: Wide Area Base Station, Medium Range Base Station, Local Area Base Station or Home
Base Station, as declared by the manufacturer
BS RF Bandwidth: RF bandwidth in which a Base Station transmits and/or receives single or multiple carriers
simultaneously within each supported operating band

multi-band Base Station: Base Station characterized by the ability of its transmitter and/or receiver to process two or
more carriers in common active RF components simultaneously, where at least one carrier is configured at a different
operating band (which is not a sub-band or superseding-band of another supported operating band) than the other
carrier(s)
multi-band receiver: receiver characterized by the ability to process two or more carriers in common active RF
components simultaneously, where at least one carrier is configured at a different operating band (which is not a

multi-carrier transmission configuration: set of one or more contiguous or non-contiguous carriers that a BS is able
to transmit simultaneously according to the manufacturer's specification
non-contiguous spectrum: spectrum consisting of two or more sub-blocks separated by sub-block gap(s)
operating band: frequency range that is defined with a specific set of technical requirements, in which UTRA FDD
operates

in table 1-1. Operating bands for UTRA are designated with Roman numerals, while the corresponding
operating bands for E-UTRA are designated with Arabic numerals.
output power: mean power of one carrier of the Base Station, delivered to a load with resistance equal to the nominal
load impedance of the transmitter
rated output power: mean power level per carrier that the manufacturer has declared to be available at the antenna
connector
rated total output power: mean power level that the manufacturer has declared to be available at the antenna
