FORMULAS USED

For PUCCH and SRS transmissions, the allowed MPR is according to that specified for PUSCH QPSK modulation for the corresponding transmission bandwidth.

For intra-band contiguous carrier bandwidth class C with non-contiguous resource allocation, the allowed Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for the maximum power output power is specified as follows

MPR = CEIL {min(MA, MIM5), 0.5}

Where MA is defined as follows for QPSK, 16 QAM and 64 QAM:

MA= 8.2 ; 0≤ A < 0.025

9.2 - 40A ; 0.025≤ A < 0.05

8 - 16A ; 0.05≤ A < 0.25

4.83 - 3.33A ; 0.25≤ A < 0.4

3.83 - 0.83A ; 0.4≤ A < 1

Where MA is defined as follows for 256 QAM:

MA= 8.2 ; 0≤ A < 0.025

9.2 - 40A ; 0.025≤ A < 0.05

8 - 16A ; 0.05≤ A < 0.16

5.5 ; 0.16≤ A < 1

and MIM5 is defined as follows:

MIM5 = 4.5 ; ΔIM5 < 1.5 * BW Channel_CA

6.0 ; 1.5 * BW Channel_CA < ΔIM5 < BW Channel_CA / 2 + FOOB

MA ; ΔIM5 < + BW Channel_CA / 2 + FOOB

For intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation bandwidth class B with non-contiguous resource allocation, the allowed Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for the maximum output power in Table 6.2.2A-1 is specified as follows:

MPR = CEIL {MA, 0.5}

Where MA is defined as follows for QPSK, 16 QAM and 64 QAM:

MA = 10.5 - 17.5A ; 0≤ A < 0.2

8.5 - 7.5A ; 0.2≤ A < 0.6

5.5 - 2.5A ; 0.6≤ A < 1

Where MA is defined as follows for 256 QAM:

MA = 10.5 - 17.5A ; 0≤ A < 0.2

8.5 - 7.5A ; 0.2≤ A < 0.4

5.5 ; 0.4≤ A < 1

Where:

A = N RB_alloc / N RB_agg

ΔIM5 = max(| Fc_agg - (3*Fagg_alloc_low - 2*Fagg_alloc_high ) |, | FC_agg - (3*Fagg_alloc_high - 2*Fagg_alloc_low) |)

Fc_agg = (Fedge_high + Fedge_low) / 2
