5 Operating bands and channel arrangement p. 32
5.1 General p. 32
The channel arrangements presented in this clause are based on the operating bands and channel bandwidths defined in the present release of specifications.
Requirements throughout the RF specifications are in many cases defined separately for different frequency ranges (FR). The frequency ranges in which NR can operate according to this version of the specification are identified as described in Table 5.1-1. Whenever the FR2 is referred, both FR2-1 and FR2-2 frequency sub-ranges shall be considered, unless otherwise stated.
| Frequency range designation | Corresponding frequency range | |
|---|---|---|
| FR1 | 410 MHz - 7125 MHz | |
| FR2 | FR2-1 | 24250 MHz - 52600 MHz |
| FR2-2 | 52600 MHz - 71000 MHz | |
The present specification covers FR2 operating bands.
5.2 Operating bands p. 32
NR is designed to operate in the FR2 operating bands defined in Table 5.2-1.
| Operating Band | Uplink (UL) operating band
BS receive / UE transmit FUL_low – FUL_high |
Downlink (DL) operating band
BS transmit / UE receive FDL_low – FDL_high |
Duplex Mode |
|---|---|---|---|
| n257 | 26500 MHz – 29500 MHz | 26500 MHz – 29500 MHz | TDD |
| n258 | 24250 MHz – 27500 MHz | 24250 MHz – 27500 MHz | TDD |
| n259 | 39500 MHz – 43500 MHz | 39500 MHz – 43500 MHz | TDD |
| n260 | 37000 MHz – 40000 MHz | 37000 MHz – 40000 MHz | TDD |
| n261 | 27500 MHz – 28350 MHz | 27500 MHz – 28350 MHz | TDD |
| n262 | 47200 MHz – 48200 MHz | 47200 MHz – 48200 MHz | TDD |
| n263 | 57000 MHz – 71000 MHz | 57000 MHz – 71000 MHz | TDD 1 |

5.2A Operating bands for CA p. 32
5.2A.1 Intra-band CA p. 32
NR intra-band contiguous and non-contiguous carrier aggregation is designed to operate in the operating bands defined in Table 5.2A.1-1, where all operating bands are within FR2.
| NR CA Band | NR Band
(Table 5.2-1) |
|---|---|
| CA_n257 | n257 |
| CA_n258 | n258 |
| CA_n259 | n259 |
| CA_n260 | n260 |
| CA_n261 | n261 |
| CA_n263 1 | n263 |
|
NOTE 1:
In this release of the specification, only contiguous CA is applicable for this operating band.
|
|
5.2A.2 Inter-band CA p. 33
NR inter-band carrier aggregation is designed to operate in the operating bands defined in Table 5.2A.2-1, where all operating bands are within FR2.
Beam management type is according to UE capability declaration IE beamManagementType-r16 or beamManagementType-CBM-r17. The requirements in the following clauses are only applicable to inter-band CA with IBM type.
| NR CA Band | NR Band
(Table 5.2-1) |
|---|---|
| CA_n257-n259 1 | n257, n259 |
| CA_n258-n260 1 | n258, n260 |
| CA_n258-n261 1 | n258, n261 |
| CA_n260-n261 1 | n260, n261 |
|
NOTE 1:
The minimum requirements apply only when there is non-simultaneous Rx/Tx operation between inter-band NR carriers in the current version of this specification.
