Difference Between Frequency Range - IBW

The document discusses three terms related to bandwidth in 5G networks using the 3.5GHz band: Frequency Range refers to the overall bandwidth the base station can operate within, such as 3.4-3.8GHz; Instantaneous Bandwidth is the bandwidth where all frequency components can be analyzed simultaneously, defined by the operating band boundaries; Occupied Bandwidth is the bandwidth actively used by the base station, defined as the sum of the active bandwidth allocations. The relationships between the terms are: Frequency Range is always greater than Instantaneous Bandwidth, which is always greater than Occupied Bandwidth.

Difference between Frequency Range, IBW

and OBW in 5G (3.5Ghz band)


Frequency Range:

It refers to bandwidth defined by the frequency range within which the Base Station can be
operated, defined by the band-pass filter of the BS, e.g. 3.4 – 3.8 GHz (400 MHz)

Instantaneous BandWidth (IBW):

it refers to the bandwidth in which all frequency components can be simultaneously  analyzed it
is defined by the frequency boundaries of the operating band(s)

=> this a major criteria in case of non-contiguous spectrum

Occupied BandWidth (OBW):

it refers to the bandwidth occupied by the base station when operated, defined by the sum of the
active bandwidths of the band allocation(s) operated

In all cases: 
Frequency Range > IBW > OBW
