The present document is a technical report for FDD operating band in the L-band for LTE to:

• Specify a new LTE FDD operating band to include band numbering and core requirements with support of 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20 MHz channel bandwidths to operate in at least Japan and possibly some other countries outside of Japan by considering that
  • UE transmit: 1 427 - 1 470 MHz, BS transmit: 1 475 - 1 518 MHz
  • Both Bands 11 and 21 requirements shall be met in order to achieve economies of scale considering the existing FDD-LTE deployment market in Japan,
    • If not, the upper edges of the band (1 470 and 1 518 MHz) are reconsidered.
• Specify relevant requirements for protection of the EESS below 1 427 MHz based on the results of studies of the Study Item "Feasibility study on global application of LTE Band 11 and of LTE Band 21 UEs",
• Specify relevant requirements for Category M1 and NB1 for the developed FDD band,
