WCDMA frequency Bands

The supported FDD frequency Bands are WCDMA 2100 (RF Band I), WCDMA 1900 (RF Band II), WCDMA 1800 (RF Band III), WCDMA 1700/2100 (RF Band IV), WCDMA 850 (RF Band V), WCDMA 900 (RF Band VIII), and WCDMA 1700 (RF Band IX). All seven frequency Bands support the same features, with only one exception: directed emergency call inter-system handover (EMISHO) is supported only in the WCDMA 1900, WCDMA 1700/2100, and WCDMA 850 Bands. The RF Band I for WCDMA 2100 is the following: Uplink: 1920 MHz 1980 MHz, UARFCN 9612 9888 Downlink: 2110 MHz 2170 MHz, UARFCN 10562 10838 Duplex distance: 190 MHz The RF Band II for WCDMA 1900 is the following: Uplink: 1850 MHz 1910 MHz, UARFCN 9262 9538 and additional channels 12, 37, 62, 87, 112, 137, 162, 187, 212, 237, 262, 287 Downlink: 1930 MHz 1990 MHz, UARFCN 9662 9938 and additional channels 412, 437, 462, 487, 512, 537, 562, 587, 612, 637, 662, 687 Duplex distance: 80 MHz. The RF Band III for WCDMA 1800 is the following: Uplink: 1710 MHz 1785 MHz, UARFCN 937 1288 Downlink: 1805 MHz 1880 MHz, UARFCN 1162 1513 Duplex distance: 95 MHz The RF Band IV for WCDMA 1700/2100 is the following: Uplink: 1710 MHz 1755 MHz, UARFCN 1312 1513 and additional channels 1662, 1687, 1712, 1737, 1762, 1787, 1812, 1837, 1862 Downlink: 2110 MHz 2155 MHz, UARFCN 1537 1738 and additional channels 1887, 1912, 1937, 1962, 1987, 2012, 2037, 2062, 2087 Duplex distance: 400 MHz The RF Band V for WCDMA 850 is the following: Uplink: 824 MHz - 849 MHz, UARFCN 4132 - 4233 and additional channels 782, 787, 807, 812, 837, 862 Downlink: 869 MHz - 894 MHz, UARFCN 4357 - 4458 and additional channels 1007, 1012, 1032, 1037, 1062, 1087 Duplex distance: 45 MHz. The RF Band VIII for WCDMA 900 is the following: Uplink: 880 MHz 915 MHz, UARFCN 2712 2863 Downlink: 925 MHz 960 MHz, UARFCN 2937 3088 Duplex distance: 45 MHz The RF Band IX for WCDMA 1700 is the following: Uplink: 1749.9 MHz 1784.9 MHz, UARFCN 8762 8912 Downlink: 1844.9 MHz 1879.9 MHz, UARFCN 9237 9387 Duplex distance: 95 MHz The normal channel raster is 200 kHz, which means that in Bands I, III, VIII, and IX the center frequency must be an integer multiple of 200 kHz. In Bands II, IV, and V, the normal channel raster can be used, but also additional centre frequencies are specified and the centre frequencies for these channels are shifted 100 kHz in relation to the normal raster. Table UTRA absolute radio frequency channel numbers defined by 3GPP below introduces the channel numbering space according to the centre frequency of the carriers in Bands I, II, III, IV, V, VIII, and IX. These channel numbers are defined by 3GPP. The allowed channel numbers in US WCDMA 1900, Band II, are a subset of these see UARFCN parameter description in WCDMA Radio Network Configuration Parameters.

The UARFCN RNP parameter defines the downlink channel number and the carrier frequency of the serving cell, and the AdjiUARFCN RNP parameter defines the downlink channel number and the carrier frequency of the interfrequency neighbour cell. The relation between the UARFCN and the corresponding carrier frequency [MHz] in the RF Bands I, II, III, IV, V, VIII, and IX is defined in the following way:
Uplink: Downlink: NU = 5 * (F UL F UL_Offset), for the carrier frequency range F UL_low FUL F UL_high ND = 5 * (F DL FDL_Offset ), for the carrier frequency range F DL_low F DL F DL_high

For each operating Band, FUL_Offset, FUL_low, FUL_high, FDL_Offset, FDL_low, and FDL_high are defined in Table UARFCN definition (general) below for the normal 200 kHz channel raster. For the additional UARFCN, FUL_Offset, FDL_Offset and the specific FUL and FDL are defined in Table UARFCN definition (additional channels).

Table 7:

UARFCN definition (additional channels)

The RNC derives the uplink carrier frequency from the downlink carrier frequency and the duplex distance. The duplex distance is 190 MHz in frequency Band I, 80 MHz in frequency Band II, 95 MHz in frequency Band III, 400 MHz in frequency Band IV, 45 MHz in frequency Band V, 45 MHz in frequency Band VIII, and 95 MHz in frequency Band IX. The RNC supports inter-frequency handovers between the WCDMA 900, WCDMA 1800, and WCDMA 2100 frequency Bands, between the WCDMA 1700 and WCDMA 2100 frequency Bands, and between the WCDMA 850, WCDMA 1700/2100, and WCDMA 1900 frequency Bands. The inter-system handovers from the WCDMA 2100, WCDMA 900, and WCDMA 1800 frequency Bands to the GSM/EDGE 900 and GSM/EDGE 1800 frequency Bands and vice versa are supported. The inter-system handovers from the WCDMA 850, WCDMA 1700/2100, and WCDMA 1900 frequency Bands to the GSM/EDGE 850 and GSM/EDGE 1900 frequency Bands and vice versa are supported as well. The RNC requests information from the UE about the WCDMA FDD frequency Bands and the GSM frequency Bands which the UE supports. The RNC checks that the UE supports the FDD frequency Band, which is used in an inter-frequency neighbour cell before it can select the cell into the neighbour cell list which is transmitted to the UE for inter-frequency measurements. Similarly, the RNC checks that the UE supports the GSM frequency Band, which is used in a GSM neighbour cell before it can select the cell into the neighbour cell list which is transmitted to the UE for intersystem measurements.
