3 Definitions, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in TR 21.905 [1] and the following apply. A
term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in TR 21.905 [1].

Base Station RF Bandwidth: bandwidth in which a base station transmits and/or receives single or multiple carrier(s)

Channel bandwidth: RF bandwidth supporting a single NR, E-UTRA, UTRA or GSM/EDGE RF carrier with the
transmission bandwidth configured in the uplink or downlink of a cell.
NOTE: The channel bandwidth is measured in MHz and is used as a reference for transmitter and receiver RF
requirements.
NOTE: The term channel bandwidth is referred to as BS channel bandwidth in the NR specifications, since for
NR the BS and UE may operate with differing bandwidths.
Contiguous carriers: set of two or more carriers configured in a spectrum block where there are no RF requirements
based on co-existence for un-coordinated operation within the spectrum block.
Carrier power: power at the antenna connector in the channel bandwidth of the carrier averaged over at least one

Lowest Carrier: carrier with the lowest carrier centre frequency transmitted/received in the specified operating band(s).
Lower Base Station RF Bandwidth edge: frequency of the lower edge of the Base Station RF bandwidth, used as a
frequency reference point for transmitter and receiver requirements.
Lower sub-block edge: frequency at the lower edge of one sub-block.
NOTE: It is used as a frequency reference point for both transmitter and receiver requirements.
Maximum Base Station RF Bandwidth: maximum RF bandwidth supported by a BS within each supported operating
band.
NOTE: The maximum Base Station RF Bandwidth for BS configured for contiguous and non-contiguous
operation within each supported operating band is declared separately.
Maximum carrier output power: carrier power available at the antenna connector for a specified reference condition.
Maximum RAT output power: sum of the power of all carriers of the same RAT available at the antenna connector
for a specified reference condition.
Maximum throughput: maximum achievable throughput for a reference measurement channel.
Maximum total output power: sum of the power of all carriers available at the antenna connector for a specified
reference condition.
MB-MSR Base Station: MSR 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).
Measurement bandwidth: RF bandwidth in which an emission level is specified.
MSR Base station: base station characterized by the ability of its receiver and transmitter to process two or more
carriers in common active RF components simultaneously in a declared Base Station RF Bandwidth, where at least one
carrier is of a different RAT than the other carrier(s).

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).
ETSI
3GPP TS 37.104 version 15.8.0 Release 15 10 ETSI TS 137 104 V15.8.0 (2019-10)
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 sub-
band or superseding-band of another supported operating band) than the other carrier(s).
Non-contiguous spectrum: spectrum consisting of two or more sub-blocks separated by sub-block gap(s).
NB-IoT In-band operation: NB-IoT is operating in-band when it utilizes the resource block(s) within a normal E-
UTRA carrier.
NB-IoT guard band operation: NB-IoT is operating in guard band when it utilizes the unused resource block(s) within
a E-UTRA carrier's guard-band.
NB-IoT standalone operation: NB-IoT is operating standalone when it utilizes its own spectrum, for example the
spectrum currently being used by GERAN systems as a replacement of one or more GSM carriers, as well as scattered
spectrum for potential IoT deployment.
Occupied bandwidth: width of a frequency band such that, below the lower and above the upper frequency limits, the
mean powers emitted are each equal to a specified percentage β/2 of the total mean power of a given emission.
Operating band: frequency range in which NR, E-UTRA, UTRA or GSM/EDGE operates (paired or unpaired), that is
defined with a specific set of technical requirements.
