For ensuring that these basic NR features and functionalities perform as intended, it is important to develop the UE RF requirements for FR2.\n \nDuring WI (830089) \u201cNR RF requirement enhancements for FR2\u201d the following enhancements were introduced.\n1.\tBeam correspondence: Requirements for SSB-based and CSI-RS based BC were developed. This allows network  to efficiently deploy different beam widths for SSB  and CSI-RS. This enables e.g. to deploy wider SSB based beams for idle mode UEs and narrower CSI-RS based beams for RRC connected mode UEs.\n2.\tInter-band DL CA: Requirements were developed for band combination CA_n260-n261 based on independent beam management.\n3.\tDL Intra-band CA BW Enhancement: New frequency separation classes Fs were introduced for up to 2400 MHz separation. Furthermore, frequency separation classes for DL-only spectrum Fsd were introduced. The DL-only frequency spectrum is the width of UE frequency spectrum available to network to configure DL CCs only, and it extends on one-side of the bidirectional spectrum in contiguous manner with no frequency gap between the two. \n4.\tNon-contiguous intra-band uplink CA: Requirements were developed for n260 for up to three uplink sub-blocks.\n5.\tMPR enhancements: Zero dB MPR range was extended to cover more allocations.\n6.\tOutput power boost when in-band emissions are suspended: 1 dB boost was introduced for QPSK modulation.\n7.\tMultiband relaxation framework enhancement: Based on RAN5 LS MBR framework was modified. REL15 retains original MBR concept but introduced a relaxation cap. REL16 adopted new concept where relaxation defined per band basis.\n\nUntil RAN#90e, the core part of Rel-16 WI \u2018NR RF requirement enhancements for FR2 \u2019 is 100% completed, and the performance part is 100% completed.

All of these cannot be achieved by unlicensed spectrum which can never match the qualities of the licensed regime.\nAt the same time, operations and applications relying on unlicensed spectrum as a complementary source of spectrum, via licensed spectrum assistance, or purely based on unlicensed spectrum, without associated licensed spectrum, are increasingly important to improve data connectivity for the use cases and applications that 5G NR is expected to offer. \nSI and TR\nThe Study Item on NR-based Access to Unlicensed Spectrum (RP-181339) has determined the feasibility of NR operation in unlicensed spectrum in all the considered scenarios (ref. TR 38.889). The inherent flexibility of the NR design facilitates its deployment and operation in unlicensed spectrum. At the same time, a number of extensions have been identified as necessary or highly beneficial for unlicensed operation vis-\u00e0-vis certain regulatory requirements. \nSpectrum\nThe SI phase has focused on the 5GHz unlicensed band and the 6GHz band under discussion for unlicensed use (e.g., US 5925 \u2013 7125 MHz, or European 5925 \u2013 6425 MHz, or parts thereof). As such, those are the bands of highest interest for specification with the understanding that other unlicensed bands, possibly in the FR2 regime or above 52.6 GHz, could be considered at later releases. \nScenarios\nIn line with NR development and in order to maximize the applicability of NR-based unlicensed access, the SI considered the following scenarios:\n-\tScenario A: Carrier aggregation between licensed band NR (PCell) and NR-U (SCell) \no\tNR-U SCell may have both DL and UL, or DL-only.\n-\tScenario B: Dual connectivity between licensed band LTE (PCell) and NR-U (PSCell)\n-\tScenario C: Stand-alone NR-U\n-\tScenario D: A stand-alone NR cell in unlicensed band and UL in licensed band\n-\tScenario E: Dual connectivity between licensed band NR  and NR-U \n\nAll these scenarios are deemed to be of interest for different applications and\/or use cases and were considered to be feasible as outlined in the TR (ref. 38.889). \nBased on all the above, the work item was created to specify a single global solution for NR-based access to unlicensed spectrum compatible with the NR concepts \nThe core part of Rel-16 NR-based access to unlicensed spectrum WI is 100% completed.
