e sets of RF requirements for NR base stations, each applicable to a BS class. The NR BS classes include macro-cell, micro-cell, and pico-cell deployment scenarios; however, 3GPP does not identify the BS classes based on the latter terms, rather it refers to them as wide area, medium range, and local area base stations. The wide area BS class is a type of BS for macro-cell scenarios, with minimum distance of 35 m between the BS and the UE. This is the typical large cell deployment with high-tower or above-rooftop installations, provid- ing wide area outdoor or indoor coverage. Medium range BS is a type of BS for micro-cell scenarios, with the minimum distance of 5 m between the BS and the UE. Typical deploy- ments are outdoor below-rooftop installations, providing outdoor hotspot coverage and outdoor-to-indoor coverage through walls. Local area BS is a type of BS that is intended for pico-cell scenarios, with the minimum distance of 2 m between the BS and the UE. Typical deployments are indoor offices and indoor/outdoor hotspots, with the BS mounted on walls or ceilings. The associated deployment scenarios for each BS class are exactly the same for the BS with and without connectors. More specifically, for BS type 1-O and 2-O, BS classes are defined as wide area base stations characterized by requirements derived from macro- cell scenarios with a BS to UE minimum ground distance of 35 m; medium range base New Radio Access RF and Transceiver Design Considerations 677 stations characterized by requirements derived from micro-cell scenarios with a BS to UE minimum ground distance of 5 m; and local area base stations are characterized by require- ments derived from pico-cell scenarios with a BS to UE minimum ground distance of 2 m. For BS types 1-C and 1-H, the BS classes are defined as wide area base stations character- ized by requirements derived from macro-cell scenarios with a BS to UE minimum coupling loss of 70 dB; medium range base stations are characterized by requirements derived from micro-cell scenarios w
