Rel-17 LTE inter-band Carrier Aggregation for x bands DL (x= 3, 4, 5) with 2 bands UL
The present document is a technical report for LTE-Advanced inter-band carrier aggregation for x bands DL (x=3, 4, 5) with 2 bands UL under Rel-17 time frame. The purpose is to gather the relevant background information and studies in order to address Rel-17 band combinations that are related to x bands (x=3, 4, 5) DL with 2 bands UL CA requirements in Table 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3.
