scope:

The present document establishes the minimum RF characteristics and minimum performance requirements of NR Integrated access and backhaul (IAB).

The present document specifies the Radio Frequency (RF) test methods and conformance requirements for NR Integrated access and backhaul (IAB) type 1-H. These have been derived from, and are consistent with the conducted requirements for NR Integrated access and backhaul (IAB) type 1-H in NR Integrated access and backhaul specification defined in TS 38.174 [2].

An IAB type 1-H has both conducted and radiated requirements so it requires compliance to the applicable requirements of the present document and TS 38.176-2 [3].

IAB type 1-O and IAB type 2-O have only radiated requirements so they require compliance to TS 38.176-2 [3] only.
