scope:

The present document applies to the following radio equipment types:

1) Repeaters for GSM.

NOTE 1: In some circumstances, for instance when an operator (or more than one operator who co-ordinate the use of repeaters), is not allocated a complete band as defined in table 1-1, it may be necessary to restrict the frequency range of operations of repeaters. In these circumstances, the test of "Gain outside pass band" in annex C may be used to verify the performance of the repeater.

NOTE 2: A repeater is designed to operate in one or several pass bands within the MS and BTS relevant transmit bands.

The present document covers requirements for GSM Repeaters for 3GPP Release 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.

The present document contains requirements to demonstrate that radio equipment both effectively uses and supports the efficient use of radio spectrum in order to avoid harmful interference.
