Content for TS 25.307 Word version: 18.0.0
The present document specifies requirements on UEs supporting a frequency band that is independent of release.
The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document.
-
References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or non specific.
-
For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
-
For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that document in the same Release as the present document.
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in [1] apply.
For the purposes of the present document, the following abbreviations apply:
FDD
Frequency Division Duplex
RRC
Radio Resource Control
UE
User Equipment
TSG-RAN has agreed that the standardisation of new frequency bands may be independent of a release. However, in order to implement a UE that conforms to a particular release but supports a band of operation that is specified in a later release, it is necessary to specify some extra requirements.
For example, Band III is contained in the Release 5 specifications. In order to implement a UE conforming to Release '4 but supporting Band III, it is necessary for the UE to additionally conform to some parts of the Release 5 specifications, such as the radio frequency requirements for the Band III and some signalling extensions relating to the UE radio access capabilities.
The following information is provided in order to assist a UE to derive the DL UARFCN and UL UARFCN in a multi-band environment, in which multiple overlapping operating bands may be indicated in the IE "Multiple Frequency Band indicator list" (System Information Block type 5, System Information Block type 5bis and System Information Block type 6), or the IE "Multiple Frequency Info List FDD" (System Information Block type 11, System Information Block type 11bis and System Information Block type 12).
The sets of bands (multi-band environment), independent of release, that may be indicated in a cell are shown in
Table B-1. Subsets of these may also be indicated. The DL UARFCN and UL UARFCN are derived according to
TS 25.101.
