Technical conditions for base stations for terrestrial systems capable of providing electronic communications services within the 738-788 MHz frequency band
BEM element |
Definition |
||||
In-block |
Refers to a block for which the BEM is derived. |
||||
Baseline |
Spectrum used within the frequency bands 703-733 MHz (i.e. FDD uplink) and 758-788 MHz (i.e. FDD downlink) as well as within the 738-758 MHz frequency band for downlink-only (if applicable), for digital terrestrial television broadcasting below the 694 MHz band edge, for terrestrial systems capable of providing electronic communications services above 790 MHz (both uplink and downlink), for PPDR radio communications in the 700 MHz frequency band (both uplink and downlink), and for M2M radio communications in the 700 MHz frequency band (both uplink and downlink). |
||||
Transitional region |
Spectrum from 0 to 10 MHz below and from 0 to 10 MHz above the block assigned to an operator; in a frequency range where transitional regions and spectrum used for FDD uplink, PPDR uplink or M2M uplink overlap, transitional power limits do not apply. |
||||
Guard bands |
In case of overlap between a transitional region and a guard band, transitional power limits are used. When spectrum is used for PPDR or M2M radio communications, baseline or transitional power limits are used. |
||||
Duplex gap |
Spectrum in the 733-758 MHz frequency band. In case of overlap between a transitional region and the part of the duplex gap not used for downlink-only or PPDR radio communications or M2M radio communications, transitional power limits are used. |
