TSG RAN WG1 Terms of Reference

Approved at 3GPP RAN#38 - Cancun, Mexico 27-30 November 2007

Within the scope of TSG-RAN, RAN WG1 is responsible for the development of specifications dealing with UTRA, Evolved UTRA, and beyond.

RAN WG1 is responsible for:

Specification of the physical layer of the radio Interface for UE, UTRAN, Evolved UTRAN, and beyond covering both modes radio interfaces, FDD and TDD. The work in RAN WG1 includes especially:

• Specification of physical channel structures
• Specification of the mapping of the transport channels onto physical channels
• Specification of the physical layer multiplexing, and channel coding and error detection
• Specification of the spreading and modulation
• Specification of the physical layer procedures
• Specification of definition of measurements and their provision by the physical layer to the upper layers

RAN WG1 is also carrying out work related to handling of the physical layer related UE capabilities and to physical layer related parameters used in UE test developed in TSG RAN.
