R 4 -2005676 3 GPP TSG-RAN WG 4 Meeting #94 Bis-e Online, , 20 th - 30 th April 2020 WF on inter-band DL CA Qualcomm,

Way Forward on capability for beam management • CBM = common beam management between the band pair • IBM = independent beam management between the band pairs • Agreements for capability: • a capability to distinguish between IBM and CBM is added • Per band pair • No limitation on which band pair this can be signaled • Network does not assume CBM UE supports non-co-located deployment • IBM UE supports also co-located deployment • Agreement on single Ao. A RF testing and common area for sph (see following slides) guarantees that also co-located deployment is supported by IBM UE

CBM band pair requirements • Spherical coverage requirements method: Option 2 requirement on solid angle described by directions that simultaneously meet spherical coverage for both bands, per agreed WF R 4 -1916024, common area is 50 % • PSD difference between bands in Refsens i. e. peak EIS: 0 d. B • PSD difference between bands in EIS spherical coverage: 0 d. B

IBM band pair requirements • Spherical coverage requirements method: Option 2 requirement on solid angle described by directions that simultaneously meet spherical coverage for both bands, per agreed WF R 4 -1916024, common area is 50 % • PSD difference between bands in Refsens i. e. peak EIS: • Option 1: agree a range[6. 5 – 25] d. B • Option 2: 14. 5 d. B as mid point of the range • PSD difference between bands in EIS spherical coverage: 6. 5 and 25 • Option 1: agree a range[6. 5 – 25] d. B • Option 2: 14. 5 d. B as mid point of the range • Target to narrow down options the range in this meeting
