Content for TS 36.117 Word version: 18.0.0
1 Scope p. 8
The present document specifies the Radio Frequency (RF) test methods and conformance requirements for E-UTRA Relay. These have been derived from, and are consistent with the E-UTRA Relay specifications defined in [2].
2 References p. 8
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.

3 Definitions, symbols and abbreviations p. 8
3.1 Definitions p. 8
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in TR 21.905 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.
access link:
Link for communication between Relay and UE.
backhaul link:
Link for communication between Relay and BS.
carrier:
The modulated waveform conveying the E-UTRA or UTRA physical channels
channel bandwidth:
The RF bandwidth supporting a single E-UTRA RF carrier with the transmission bandwidth configured in the uplink or downlink of a cell. The channel bandwidth is measured in MHz and is used as a reference for transmitter and receiver RF requirements.
channel edge:
The lowest and highest frequency of the E-UTRA carrier, separated by the channel bandwidth.
in-band relay:
A Relay where the access link and backhaul link operates in the same operating band.
measurement bandwidth:
The bandwidth in which an emission level is specified.
occupied bandwidth:
The 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.
RRC filtered mean power:
The mean power of a UTRA carrier as measured through a root raised cosine filter with roll-off factor α and a bandwidth equal to the chip rate of the radio access mode.
transmission bandwidth:
Bandwidth of an instantaneous transmission from a UE or BS, measured in Resource Block units.
transmission bandwidth configuration:
The highest transmission bandwidth allowed for uplink or downlink in a given channel bandwidth, measured in Resource Block units.
