DL EIRP patterns: LTE and NR
● EIRP for reference signals in this document is defined as
where
– is a reference transmitted power
– is the antenna gain
● For LTE
– referece signals are assumed to be transmitted in two virtual antenna ports
– is half of the total transmitted power since the total power is split equally between the two virtual antenna ports
● For NR
– reference signals are transmitted in a single virtual port
– is the total transmitted power
● For both LTE* and NR, EIRP for a reference signal (RS) in a single resource element (RE) is
where
• is the power boost gain (power ”borrowed” from an unused resource element)
• is the number of resource blocks over the carrier bandwidth
• 12 is the number of resource elements per resource block in the frequency dimension
* The LTE EIRP level in the case where would be , however, the LTE EIRP results in this document are only applicable for

DL EIRP Average
● Average EIRP is defined as:

› = 10log(
– where
● n_ is number of samples of horizontal envelope within range of
● N is maximum number of samples within range of
● EIRP sum of both polarizations in milliwatts for sample n_ of horizontal envelope at and center frequency

UL EIS patterns
● EIS is defined according to:
where
● is the noise power for a given bandwidth . [dBm]
● is the Signal to Noise Ratio
● is the System Noise Figure [dB]
● is the antenna system gain [dB]
# The SNR for both LTE and NR is assumed to be the same at this stage. However, depending on the actual SNR value for NR, EIS numbers for NR may be differe
