3 Definitions, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in TR 21.905 [1] 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 [1].
Carrier: The modulated waveform conveying the E-UTRA or UTRA physical channels
Channel bandwidth: The RF bandwidth supporting a single E-UTRA RF carrier with the transmission bandwidth
configured in the uplink or downlink of a cell. The channel bandwidth is measured in MHz and is used as a reference
for transmitter and receiver RF requirements.
Channel edge: The lowest and highest frequency of the E-UTRA carrier, separated by the channel bandwidth.
Donor coupling loss: is the coupling loss between the repeater and the donor base station.
Downlink: Signal path where base station transmits and mobile receives.

Downlink operating band: The part of the operating band designated for downlink.
Maximum output power, Pmax: This is the mean power level per carrier measured at the antenna connector of the
Repeater in specified reference condition.
Operating band: A frequency range in which E-UTRA operates (paired or unpaired), that is defined with a specific set
of technical requirements.
NOTE1: The operating band(s) for an E-UTRA Repeater is declared by the manufacturer according to the
designations in clause 5.5 table 5.5-1.
NOTE2: Unless specified, operating band refers to the uplink operating band and downlink operating band.
Output power, Pout: This is the mean power of one carrier at maximum repeater gain delivered to a load with
resistance equal to the nominal load impedance of the transmitter.
Pass band: The frequency range in which the repeater operates in with operational configuration. This frequency range
can correspond to one or several consecutive nominal channels. If they are not consecutive each subset of channels shall
be considered as an individual pass band. A repeater can have one or several pass bands.
Rated output power: Rated output power of the repeater is the mean power level per carrier that the manufacturer has
declared to be available at the antenna connector.
Repeater: A device that receives, amplifies and transmits the radiated or conducted RF carrier both in the downlink
direction (from the base station to the mobile area) and in the uplink direction (from the mobile to the base station) In
operating bands with one exclusive link direction, only the dedicated link direction is repeated.
In operating bands specified with only down-link or up-link, only the up-link or down-link as specified for the operating
band is repeated.
Transmission bandwidth: Bandwidth of an instantaneous transmission from a UE or BS, measured in Resource Block
units.
Transmission bandwidth configuration: The highest transmission bandwidth allowed for uplink or downlink in a
given channel bandwidth, measured in Resource Block units.
Uplink: Signal path where mobile transmits and base station receives.
Uplink operating band: The part of the operating band designated for uplink.

4 General
4.1 Relationship between Minimum Requirements and Test
Requirements
The Minimum Requirements given in this specification make no allowance for measurement uncertainty. The test
specification TS 36.143 [4] Annex B defines Test Tolerances. These Test Tolerances are individually calculated for
each test. The Test Tolerances are used to relax the Minimum Requirements in this specification to create Test
Requirements.
The measurement results returned by the Test System are compared - without any modification - against the Test
Requirements as defined by the shared risk principle.
The Shared Risk principle is defined in ITU-R M.1545 [3].

4.2 Regional requirements
Some requirements in the present document may only apply in certain regions either as optional requirements or set by
local and regional regulation as mandatory requirements. It is normally not stated in the 3GPP specifications under what
exact circumstances that the requirements apply, since this is defined by local or regional regulation.
