1  ScopeWord‑p. 18

The present document specifies the Radio Frequency (RF) test methods and conformance requirements for E-UTRA, E-UTRA with NB-IoT or NB-IoT Base Stations (BS) operating either in the FDD mode (used in paired bands) or the TDD mode (used in unpaired bands). These have been derived from, and are consistent with the E-UTRA, E-UTRA with NB-IoT or NB-IoT Base Station (BS) specifications defined in [2].
