3 Definitions, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in TR 21.905 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.
Access link:
Link for communication between Relay and UE.
Backhaul link:
Link for communication between Relay and BS.
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.
In-band relay:
A Relay where the access link and backhaul link operates in the same operating band.
Measurement bandwidth:
The bandwidth in which an emission level is specified.
Occupied bandwidth:
The width of a frequency band such that, below the lower and above the upper frequency limits, the mean powers emitted are each equal to a specified percentage β/2 of the total mean power of a given emission.
RRC filtered mean power:
The mean power of a UTRA carrier as measured through a root raised cosine filter with roll-off factor α and a bandwidth equal to the chip rate of the radio access mode.
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.
