E-UTRA (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access) - NR Dual Connectivity (EN-DC) of 3 bands Down Link (DL) and 3 band Up Link (UL)
The present document is a technical report for Dual Connectivity (EN-DC) with 3 bands DL and 3 bands UL under Rel-16 time frame. The purpose is to gather the relevant background information and studies in order to address Dual Connectivity (EN-DC) with 3 bands DL and 3 bands UL for the Rel-16 band combinations, where:
- For only 1 NR band included, only NR FR2 band is applied
- For only 2 NR bands included, 1 NR FR1 band and 1 NR FR2 band are included and operated as inter-band CA
