decision 
NOTE 1: Restricted to E-UTRA operation when carrier aggregation is configured. The downlink operating band is 
paired with the uplink operating band (external) of the carrier aggregation configuration that is supporting the 
configured Pcell. 
NOTE 2: In Europe, according to [i.17] and [i.18], radio equipment in band 32 operates between 1 452 MHz and 
1 492 MHz. 
NOTE 3: This band is an unlicensed band restricted to licensed-assisted operation using Frame Structure Type 3. In 
Europe according to [i.29] and [i.30], radio equipment in band 46 operates between 5 150 MHz and 
5 725 MHz as in table 1-1A. 
NOTE 4: In this version of the present document, restricted to E-UTRA DL operation when carrier aggregation is 
configured. 
NOTE 5: A UE that complies with the E-UTRA Band 65 minimum requirements in the present document also complies 
with the E-UTRA Band 1 minimum requirements. This band includes two frequency ranges that are 
harmonised in Europe:  
a) According to [i.21] and [i.22], radio equipment in band n65 operates between 2 110 MHz and 2 170 MHz 
for the transmitter (FDL_low = 2 110 MHz and FDL_high = 2 170 MHz), and between 1 920 MHz and 
1 980 MHz for the receiver (FUL_low = 1 920 MHz and FUL_high = 1 980 MHz). 
b) Based on [i.29], radio equipment in band n65 operates between 2 170 MHz and 2 200 MHz for the 
transmitter (FDL_low = 2 170 MHz and FDL_high = 2 200 MHz) and between 1 980 MHz and 2 010 MHz for 
the receiver (FUL_low = 1 980 MHz and FUL_high = 2 010 MHz) as the Complementary Ground 
Component (CGC) of a Mobile-satellite service by reference to the present Harmonised Standard. 
NOTE 6: In Europe, according to [i.14], [i.15] and [i.31], radio equipment in band 28 operates between 703 MHz to 
736 MHz for the transmitter (FUL_low = 703 MHz and FUL_high = 736 MHz) and between 758 MHz to 791 MHz 
for the receiver (FDL_low = 758 MHz and FDL_high = 791 MHz). 
NOTE 7: In Europe according to [i.24] and [i.25], radio equipment in band 41 operates between 2 570 MHz and 
2 620 MHz (FDL_low = 2 570 MHz and FDL_high = 2 620 MHz). 
 
NOTE 1: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.2 of 
Directive 2014/53/EU [i.2] is given in annex A.

E-UTRA NB-IoT is designed to operate in the E-UTRA operating bands 1, 3, 8, 20, 28 and 65 defined in table 1-1. The 
present document covers requirements for E-UTRA FDD and E-UTRA TDD User Equipment from 3GPP™ Releases 8, 
9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 defined in ETSI TS 136 101 [3]. This includes the requirements for E-UTRA UE operating bands 
and E-UTRA CA operating bands from 3GPP™ Release 13 defined in ETSI TS 136 101 [3]. 
NOTE 2: For Band 20: 

 For user equipment designed to be mobile or nomadic, the requirements in the present document 
measured at the antenna port also show conformity to the corresponding requirement defined as 
Total Radiated Power (TRP), as described in Commission Decision 2010/267/EU [i.6] and 
ECC Decision (09)03 [i.7]. 

 For user equipment designed to be fixed or installed, the present document does not address the 
requirements described in Commission Decision 2010/267/EU [i.6] and ECC Decision (09)03 [i.7].

NOTE 3:  TRP/TRS requirements only applicable to the devices wider than or equal to 56 mm and narrower than or 
equal to 92 mm.  
The present document contains requirements to demonstrate that radio equipment both effectively uses and supports the 
efficient use of radio spectrum in order to avoid harmful interference.
