The scope of the report has been further extended [6] to cover the 2 DL fallback modes for the 3 DL Carrier Aggregation combinations with single UL configuration. These 3 DL/1UL combinations are listed in table 1-2. In addition, the report also covers the LTE TDD-FDD joint operation including Carrier Aggregation combinations [7], captured in Table 1-3.
