4 Background
The present document is a technical report for NR Intra-band Carrier Aggregation under Rel-16 timeframe. The document covers each band combination specific issues (i.e. one sub-clause defined per band combination)
4.1 TR Maintenance Word‑p. 17
A single company is responsible for introducing all approved TPs in the current TR, i.e. TR editor. However, it is the responsibility of the contact person of each band combination to ensure that the TPs related to the band combination have been implemented.
