NOTE 1: Restricted to E-UTRA operation when carrier aggregation is configured. The downlink operating
band is paired with the uplink operating band (external) of the carrier aggregation configuration
that is supporting the configured Pcell. Restricted to UTRA operation when dual band is
configured (e.g. DB-DC-HSDPA or dual band 4C-HSDPA). The down link frequency(ies) of this
band are paired with the uplink frequency(ies) of the other FDD band (external) of the dual band

designations in tables 4.2.1-2 to 4.2.1-5.

subframe for E-UTRA, at least one slot for UTRA and the useful part of the burst for GSM/EDGE
channel bandwidth: RF bandwidth supporting a single E-UTRA, UTRA or GSM/EDGE RF carrier
NOTE: The channel bandwidth is measured in MHz and is used as a reference for transmitter and receiver RF
requirements.
configured carrier power: target maximum power for a specific carrier for the operating mode set in the BS
contiguous spectrum: spectrum consisting of a contiguous block of spectrum with no sub-block gap(s)
downlink operating band: part of the operating band designated for downlink

local area Base Station: Base Stations characterized by requirements derived from picocell scenarios with a BS to UE
minimum coupling loss equal to 45 dB
lower Base Station RF bandwidth edge: frequency of the lower edge of the Base Station RF bandwidth, used as a
frequency reference point for transmitter and receiver requirements
lower sub-block edge: frequency at the lower edge of one sub-block
NOTE: It is used as a frequency reference point for both transmitter and receiver requirements.
maximum Base Station RF bandwidth: maximum RF bandwidth supported by a Base Station within each supported
operating band
NOTE: The Maximum Base Station RF bandwidth for BS configured for contiguous and non-contiguous
operation within each supported operating band is declared separately.

NOTE 1: Restricted to E-UTRA operation when carrier aggregation is configured. The downlink operating
band is paired with the uplink operating band (external) of the carrier aggregation configuration
that is supporting the configured Pcell. Restricted to UTRA operation when dual band is
configured (e.g. DB-DC-HSDPA or dual band 4C-HSDPA). The down link frequency(ies) of this
band are paired with the uplink frequency(ies) of the other FDD band (external) of the dual band
configuration.
NOTE 2: The band is for E-UTRA only.
NOTE 3: The band is for E-UTRA and UTRA only.
NOTE 4: The band is for E-UTRA and NB-IoT only.
NOTE 5: Radio equipment in band 32 is only allowed to operate between 1 452 MHz and 1 492 MHz.

NOTE 1: For BS capable of multi-band operation, the supported operating bands may belong to different Band
Categories.
The present document covers requirements for multi-RAT capable E-UTRA, UTRA and GSM/EDGE MSR Base
Stations for 3GPP™ Release 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13. This includes the requirements for E UTRA Base Station operating
bands and E-UTRA CA operating bands from 3GPP Release 14.

3 Definitions, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
band category: group of operating bands for which the same MSR scenarios apply
NOTE: The band categories for MSR BS are defined in clause 4.4 of ETSI TS 137 141 [1] and are listed in
table 1-1.
Base Station class: wide area Base Station, medium range Base Station or local Area Base Station, as declared by the
manufacturer
Base Station RF bandwidth: bandwidth in which a Base Station transmits and/or receives single or multiple carrier(s)
and/or RATs simultaneously within a supported operating band
NOTE: In single carrier operation, the Base Station RF bandwidth is equal to the channel bandwidth.
Base Station RF bandwidth edge: frequency of one of the edges of the Base Station RF bandwidth
carrier: modulated waveform conveying the E-UTRA, UTRA or GSM/EDGE physical channels
ETSI
12 Draft ETSI EN 301 908-18 V13.0.1 (2017-12)
carrier aggregation: aggregation of two or more E-UTRA component carriers in order to support wider transmission
bandwidths
carrier aggregation band: set of one or more operating bands across which multiple E-UTRA carriers are aggregated
with a specific set of technical requirements
NOTE: Carrier aggregation band(s) for an E-UTRA BS is declared by the manufacturer according to the
designations in tables 4.2.1-2 to 4.2.1-5.
carrier power: power at the antenna connector in the channel bandwidth of the carrier averaged over at least one
subframe for E-UTRA, at least one slot for UTRA and the useful part of the burst for GSM/EDGE
channel bandwidth: RF bandwidth supporting a single E-UTRA, UTRA or GSM/EDGE RF carrier
NOTE: The channel bandwidth is measured in MHz and is used as a reference for transmitter and receiver RF
requirements.
configured carrier power: target maximum power for a specific carrier for the operating mode set in the BS
contiguous spectrum: spectrum consisting of a contiguous block of spectrum with no sub-block gap(s)
downlink operating band: part of the operating band designated for downlink
Inter RF bandwidth gap: frequency gap between two consecutive Base Station RF bandwidths that are placed within
two supported operating bands
inter-band gap: frequency gap between two supported consecutive operating bands
intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation: contiguous E-UTRA carriers aggregated in the same operating band
local area Base Station: Base Stations characterized by requirements derived from picocell scenarios with a BS to UE
minimum coupling loss equal to 45 dB
lower Base Station RF bandwidth edge: frequency of the lower edge of the Base Station RF bandwidth, used as a
frequency reference point for transmitter and receiver requirements
lower sub-block edge: frequency at the lower edge of one sub-block
NOTE: It is used as a frequency reference point for both transmitter and receiver requirements.
maximum Base Station RF bandwidth: maximum RF bandwidth supported by a Base Station within each supported
operating band
NOTE: The Maximum Base Station RF bandwidth for BS configured for contiguous and non-contiguous
operation within each supported operating band is declared separately.
maximum carrier output power: carrier power available at the antenna connector for a specified

band is paired with the uplink operating band (external) of the carrier aggregation configuration
that is supporting the configured Pcell. Restricted to UTRA operation when dual band is
configured (e.g. DB-DC-HSDPA or dual band 4C-HSDPA). The down link frequency(ies) of this
band are paired with the uplink frequency(ies) of the other FDD band (external) of the dual band

3 Definition of terms, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Terms
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms apply:
band category: group of operating bands for which the same MSR scenarios apply
NOTE: The band categories for MSR BS are defined in clause 4.4 of ETSI TS 137 141 [1] and are listed in
table 1-1.
Base Station class: wide area Base Station, medium range Base Station or local Area Base Station, as declared by the
manufacturer
ETSI
11 ETSI EN 301 908-18 V13.1.1 (2019-09)
Base Station RF bandwidth: bandwidth in which a Base Station transmits and/or receives single or multiple carrier(s)
and/or RATs simultaneously within a supported operating band
NOTE: In single carrier operation, the Base Station RF bandwidth is equal to the channel bandwidth.
Base Station RF bandwidth edge: frequency of one of the edges of the Base Station RF bandwidth
carrier: modulated waveform conveying the E-UTRA, UTRA or GSM/EDGE physical channels
carrier aggregation: aggregation of two or more E-UTRA component carriers in order to support wider transmission
bandwidths
carrier aggregation band: set of one or more operating bands across which multiple E-UTRA carriers are aggregated
with a specific set of technical requirements
NOTE: Carrier aggregation band(s) for an E-UTRA BS is declared by the manufacturer according to the
designations in tables 4.2.1-2 to 4.2.1-5.
carrier power: power at the antenna connector in the channel bandwidth of the carrier averaged over at least one
subframe for E-UTRA, at least one slot for UTRA and the useful part of the burst for GSM/EDGE
channel bandwidth: RF bandwidth supporting a single E-UTRA, UTRA or GSM/EDGE RF carrier
NOTE: The channel bandwidth is measured in MHz and is used as a reference for transmitter and receiver RF
requirements.
configured carrier power: target maximum power for a specific carrier for the operating mode set in the BS
contiguous spectrum: spectrum consisting of a contiguous block of spectrum with no sub-block gap(s)
downlink operating band: part of the operating band designated for downlink
inter RF
