1 Scope p. 7
The present document is a technical report for NR Intra-band Carrier Aggregation Rel-18 for xDL/yUL including contiguous and non-contiguous spectrum under Rel-18 time frame. The purpose is to gather the relevant background information and studies to address NR Intra-band Carrier Aggregation requirements for the Rel-18 band combinations in Table 1-1, Table 1-2, Table 1-3 and Table 1-4.
2 References p. 7
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.

3.1 Terms p. 7
For the purposes of the present document, the terms 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.
3.2 Symbols p. 7
For the purposes of the present document, the following symbols apply:
3.3 Abbreviations p. 7
4 Background p. 7
The present document is a technical report for NR Intra-band Carrier Aggregation under Rel-18 timeframe. The document covers each band combination specific issues (i.e. one sub-clause defined per band combination)
4.1 TR maintenance p. 8
A single company is responsible for introducing all approved TPs in the current TR, i.e. TR editor. However, it is the responsibility of the contact person of each band combination to ensure that the TPs related to the band combination have been implemented.
