3 Definitions, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
carrier: modulated waveform conveying the E-UTRA or UTRA (WCDMA) physical channels
channel bandwidth: RF bandwidth supporting a single E-UTRA 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.
channel edge: lowest and highest frequency of the E-UTRA carrier, separated by the channel bandwidth
donor coupling loss: coupling loss between the repeater and the donor base station
downlink: signal path where base station transmits and mobile receives
downlink operating band: part of the operating band designated for downlink
operating band: frequency range in which E-UTRA FDD operates, that is defined with a specific set of technical
requirements
NOTE 1: The operating band(s) for an E-UTRA Repeater is declared by the manufacturer according to the
designations in clause 1, table 1-1.
NOTE 2: Unless specified, operating band refers to the uplink operating band and downlink operating band.
output power, Pout: mean power of one carrier at maximum repeater gain delivered to a load with resistance equal to
the nominal load impedance of the transmitter
pass band: repeater can have one or several pass bands
NOTE: The pass band is the frequency range that the repeater operates in with operational configuration. This
frequency range can correspond to one or several consecutive nominal channels. If they are not
consecutive each subset of channels shall be considered as an individual pass band.
rated output power: rated output power of the repeater is the mean power level per carrier that the manufacturer has
declared to be available at the antenna connector
repeater: device that receives, amplifies and transmits the radiated or conducted RF carrier both in the downlink
direction (from the base station to the mobile area) and in the uplink direction (from the mobile to the base station)
transmission bandwidth: bandwidth of an instantaneous transmission from a UE or BS, measured in Resource Block
units
transmission bandwidth configuration: highest transmission bandwidth
