1 Scope p. 17

The present document is a technical report for LTE Advanced 2ULs and xDLs Carrier Aggregation with x=3,4,5 under Rel-14 time frame. The purpose is to gather the relevant background information and studies in order to address 2ULs and xDLs Carrier Aggregation requirements.

This TR covers relevant background information and studies core & performance requirements for the Rel-14 band combinations in Table 1-1, 1-10 and 1-11.

3 Definitions, symbols and abbreviations p. 27

3.1 Definitions p. 27

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.

Carrier aggregation:

Aggregation of two or more component carriers in order to support wider transmission bandwidths.

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.

Inter-band carrier aggregation:

Carrier aggregation of component carriers in different operating bands.

Mixed Intra-band and inter-band carrier aggregation:

Carrier aggregation of component carriers in same operating band and different operating bands.

3.3 Abbreviations p. 27

For the purposes of the present document, the abbreviations given in TR 21.905 and the following apply. An abbreviation defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same abbreviation, if any, in TR 21.905.

4 Background p. 28

The present document is a technical report for LTE Advanced 2UL and xDL Carrier Aggregation under Rel-14 time frame. It covers both the UE and BS side. The document is divided in two different parts:

General part: this part covers BS and UE specific which is band combination independent.
Specific band combination part: this part covers each band combination and its specific issues independently from each other (i.e. one subclause is defined per band combination)

The specific band combination parts are independent and therefore, the working speed also differs
