RedCap: Overview of RF Impact and Requirements Discussion

3GPP TSG-RAN WG4 Meeting # 99-e
Electronic Meeting, May 19-27
, 2021
RedCap: General issues
RedCap bands:
Any FDD 
(except for n91, n92, n93, and n94) 
or TDD band could support
RedCap.
Note: It doesn’t mean SUL is excluded from this WI scope.
RedCap UE Power Class
Existing PC per band could be considered.
PC3 should be prioritized if needed.
RedCap: BS RF impact
No BS RF impact is expecting when introducing RedCap.
RedCap: Rx branch for RedCap UE
FR1
Minimum # of Rx branch to be specified: 1
Additional # of Rx branch to be specified: 2
FR2:
FFS
Clarification from RAN plenary on the WID scope of this aspect is needed.
Operators are encouraged to provide feedback on use case of RedCap UE in FR2 for next
meeting, e,g Power class, frequency band etc.
RedCap: UE Tx-Rx and Rx-Tx switching time
Tx-Rx switching time: 13 µs
Tx-Rx switching time: FFS
Companies are encouraged to provide their analysis justifying any longer
switching time than 13 µs. 
Following question should be answered:
Why the TX PLL can not be turned on in advance in the receiving symbols so such “power
saving” can be hidden from the system impact.?
Study network performance impact and trade-off with UE power savings
RedCap: UE RF impact
Tx requirements
NR UE Tx 
single carrier
 
requirements 
except for UL CA and DC 
could be reused for
RedCap (except the UE transmit power in FR1 and FR2)
Transmit power in FR1 and FR2: depend on the RedCap PC and frequency band.
Rx requirements:
Specify REFSENS:
For one Rx branch.
For 2 Rx branches for bands where legacy NR UE is required with 4 Rx antenna ports.
re-use existing single carrier requirement for 2 Rx branches, FFS on HD-FDD mode.
Other requirements: FFS
Specification structure:
Define new suffix
 G
 for RedCap UE RF requirement at least in TS 38.101-1.
RedCap: RRM eDRX RF
No impact on eDRX RF
