simultaneously
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 5.5-2 to 5.5-3 of TS 136 104 [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
ETSI
10 Draft ETSI EN 301 908-18 V6.1.1 (2012-01)
contiguous carriers: set of two or more carriers configured in a spectrum block where there are no RF requirements
based on co-existence for un-coordinated operation within the spectrum block
contiguous spectrum: spectrum consisting of a contiguous block of spectrum with no sub-block gaps
downlink operating band: part of the operating band designated for downlink
inter-band carrier aggregation: carrier aggregation of E-UTRA component carriers in different operating bands

intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation: contiguous E-UTRA carriers aggregated in the same operating band
intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation: non-contiguous E-UTRA carriers aggregated in the same operating
band
lower 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

different RAT than the other carrier(s)
non-contiguous spectrum: spectrum consisting of two or more sub-blocks separated by sub-block gap(s)
operating band: frequency range in which E-UTRA, UTRA or GSM/EDGE operates (paired or unpaired), that is
defined with a specific set of technical requirements
