3 Definitions, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
Donor coupling loss: is the coupling loss between the repeater and the donor base station.
Down-link: Signal path where base station transmits and mobile receives.
Operating band: the frequency range in which UTRA FDD operates, that is defined with a specific set of technical
requirements.
NOTE 1: The operating band(s) for an UTRA Repeater is declared by the manufacturer according to the
designations in clause 5.1, Table 5.1.
NOTE 2: Unless specified, operating band refers to the uplink operating band and downlink operating band.
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 5 MHz 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.

3GPP TS 25.106 version 15.0.0 Release 15 7 ETSI TS 125 106 V15.0.0 (2018-07)
Repeater: A device that receives, amplifies and transmits the radiated or conducted RF carrier both in the down-link
direction (from the base station to the mobile area) and in the up-link direction (from the mobile to the base station). 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.
Up-link: Signal path where mobile transmits and base station receives.

4 General
This specification applies only to UTRA-FDD repeaters.
Unless otherwise stated, all requirements in this specification apply to both the up-link and down-link directions, where
applicable.
4.1 Relationship between Minimum Requirements and Test
Requirements
The Minimum Requirements given in this specification make no allowance for measurement uncertainty. The repeater
test specification 25.143 section 5 [2] 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 ETR 273 Part 1 sub-part 2 section 6.5 [4].
4.2 Regional requirements
Some requirements in TS 25.106 may only apply in certain regions. Table 4.1 lists all requirements that may be applied
differently in different regions.

5.3 Channel arrangement
5.3.1 Channel spacing
The nominal channel spacing is 5 MHz, but this can be adjusted to optimise performance in a particular deployment
scenario.
5.3.2 Channel raster
The channel raster is 200 kHz for all bands, which means that the centre frequency must be an integer multiple of 200
kHz. In addition, a number of additional centre frequencies are specified according to the table 5.3, which means that
and the centre frequencies for these channels are shifted 100 kHz relative to the general raster.
5.3.3 Channel number
The carrier frequency is designated by the UTRA Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (UARFCN).
For each operating band, the UARFCN values are defined as follows.
Uplink: N = 5 * (F - F ), for the carrier frequency range F ≤ F ≤ F
U UL UL_Offset UL_low UL UL_high
Downlink: N = 5 * (F - F ), for the carrier frequency range F ≤ F ≤ F
D DL DL_Offset DL_low DL DL_high
For each operating Band, F , F , F , F ,, F and F are defined in Table 5.3 for the
