Summary based on the input provided by CMCC in RP-220631.
This WI specifies the UE RRM requirements for carrier aggregation (CA) and UE demodulation requirements for CA for FR1 high speed train scenario (HST). The supported velocity is up to 500km/h and the carrier frequency is up to 3.6GHz covering both TDD and FDD. This WI is the enhancement of Rel-16 WI NR-HST (WID: RP-191512), which targets for single carrier scenario.
In Rel-17 WI on enhanced NR support for high speed train scenario for frequency range 1 (FR1), the enhanced RRM requirements and demodulation requirements for CA were specified to support the speed of up to 500km/h and carrier frequency of up to 3.6GHz.
For RRM, to guarantee the mobility performance for FR1 HST with velocity up to 500km/h, both enhanced requirements for NR inter-frequency measurement and enhanced requirements for CA scenario are specified in
TS 38.133. The enhanced requirements for NR inter-frequency measurement include NR cell re-selection requirements, time period for PSS/SSS detection, time period for time index detection and measurement period requirements. The enhanced requirements for CA include both measurement on activated SCells and measurement on deactivated SCells.
For UE demodulation requirements for CA, both HST-SFN (High Speed Train Single Frequency Network) joint transmission scheme and DPS (Dynamic Point Selection) transmission scheme are considered, and the requirements are specified in
TS 38.101-4. With speed of up to 500km/h and carrier frequency of up to 3.6GHz, the maximum doppler shift is 1667Hz and 870Hz for 30KHz SCS and 15KHz SCS respectively. For 15KHz SCS, specify PDSCH requirements on single carrier of BW of {5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30,35, 40, 45, 50} MHz. For 30KHz SCS, specify PDSCH requirements on single carrier of BW of {5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80, 90, 100} MHz.

This WI is targeted to specify NR UE RF requirements, RRM requirements and BS/UE performance requirements for train roof-mounted high-power devices in HST scenario with speed up to 350km/h and applicable frequency is up to 30GHz. The considered FR2 HST scenario is different from existing 3GPP WIs (for either LTE or NR) with operating bands up to 3.5GHz, and the NR FR2 RRM and demodulation requirements for non-HST scenarios are also not applicable and need to be specified.
In this WI, the FR2 HST deployment scenarios are studied, based upon which FR2 HST channel models are provided accordingly. From radio resource management (RRM) and demodulation perspectives, FR2 HST scenario is focused and evaluated, with the feasibility of FR2 HST scenario being technically confirmed.
For UE RF requirement, FR2 power class 6 for band n257, n258 and n261 is newly introduced, which is corresponding to the UE type of high speed train roof-mounted UE. Relevant UE TX and RX RF requirements for power class 6 are specified, in which the TX and EIS spherical coverage requirements are defined over the newly introduced spherical coverage evaluation areas. For UE beam correspondence requirement, the applicability rule and requirement side conditions are specified.
The RRM requirements for FR2 HST scenarios are introduced and enhanced over existing FR2 RRM requirements. Specifically, the enhancements for FR2 HST are introduced on cell re-selection, RRC connection mobility control, gradual timing adjustment, SSB based radio link monitoring and beam failure detection, intra-frequency measurement and L1-RSRP/SINR measurement. The new requirements of one shot large UL timing adjustment and TCI state switch delay are specified for FR2 HST scenarios.
The BS/UE performance requirements are discussed for FR2 HST scenarios, which will be further completed in the performance phase of this WI.
