NOTE 1: Normally, a feature is introduced only in the latest open release Rel-N and future releases are based on
the previous one so that future releases inherit the requirements of this feature. Introducing a feature "in a
release independent way from Rel-M onwards" (M feature would be also beneficial in previous, already frozen releases starting with Rel-M until Rel-(N-1).
In order to avoid touching TS 36.101 [2] or TS 36.133 [3] of these frozen releases, the corresponding
requirements are captured in TS 36.307 via pointers to [2] or [3] of the release in which the feature was
introduced.
NOTE 2: Release independent does not mean applicable to all releases.

3A.0 General
TSG-RAN has agreed for certain features (see the following clauses) to introduce them in a "release independent way".
This means for each feature:
- it is "introduced" in a release N, i.e. TS 36.101 [2] and TS 36.133 [3] of release N define certain UE
requirements for this feature; the feature is indicated in the tables of the following clauses;
- it is "release independent" starting from a release M (M the following clauses;
- UEs supporting this feature have to fulfill additional requirements in release M or higher which are specified in
one or more Annexes of TS 36.307 of release N; the applicable Annexes for a given feature are provided in the
tables of the following clauses.
The applicable UE Categories are specified in TS 36.306 [4] according to the release to which the UE conforms.
3A.1 Additional E-UTRA operating bands
Requirements for a Rel-13 UE for additional E-UTRA operating bands compared to TS 36.101 Rel-13 [2] are
introduced via this clause.

For example, Band 19 was introduced in the Release 9 specifications. In order to implement a UE conforming to
Release 8 but supporting Band 19, it is necessary for the UE to additionally conform to some parts of the Release 9
specifications (see corresponding Annexes of TS 36.307 Rel-9 which will point to the requirements in the Rel-9 of TS
36.101 [2] or TS 36.133 [3] to be fulfilled), such as the radio frequency and radio resource management requirements

NOTE1: The duplex mode "FDD, TDD" refers to a CA configuration composed by only FDD bands or only TDD
bands, respectively. The duplex mode "FDD and TDD" refers to a CA configuration including both FDD and
TDD bands.
NOTE2: CA configurations involving downlink only operation in Band 46 are release independent from Rel-13
onwards (LAA was introduced in Rel-13). The 10 MHz channel bandwidth for Band 46 was introduced in TS
36.101 Rel-14 [2] and can be implemented in a release independent way from Rel-13.
For example, CA configuration CA_1A-19A was introduced in the Release 11 specifications. In order to implement a
UE conforming to Release 10 but supporting the CA configuration CA_1A-19A, it is necessary for the UE to
additionally conform to some parts of the Release 11 specifications (see corresponding Annexes of TS 36.307 Rel-11
which will point to the requirements in the Rel-11 of TS 36.101 [2] or TS 36.133 [3] to be fulfilled), such as the radio
frequency and radio resource management requirements for the CA configuration CA_1A-19A.
