The present document is a technical report for SA NR Supplementary uplink (SUL), NSA NR SUL and NSA NR SUL with UL sharing from the UE perspective (ULSUP) under Rel-16 time frame. The purpose is to gather the relevant background information and studies in order to address NR SUL for the Rel-16 bands/band combinations in Table 1-1 to Table 1-4.
