— “Sub-band” means that a product operates on a limited part of a full 3GPP defined band. (Note: B0A is a sub-band to 3GPP band 8.)
— The document lists frequency ranges and names for Ericsson bands (from 34/1056-HRB 105 600).
— Naming example:

— No information on the RAT used per band is given.
FDD bands:
FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) band frequencies refer to the separate, distinct frequency blocks of spectrum allocated for different directions of communication, with one block for the uplink (e.g., phone to tower) and another for the downlink (tower to phone). Common FDD bands include Band 1 (2100 MHz), Band 3 (1800 MHz), Band 8 (900 MHz), and Band 20 (800 MHz), with the specific bands varying by country and operator.
What is FDD?
- Separate Frequencies:FDD technology uses two different frequency bands simultaneously for communication.
- Simultaneous Transmission:This allows a device to both transmit data (upload) and receive data (download) at the same time, as they are using different frequencies.
- Uplink and Downlink:One frequency band is for the uplink (e.g., a user’s phone to the cellular tower), and the other is for the downlink (the tower to the user’s phone).
The specific frequencies used for FDD vary depending on the region and mobile operator.
- 4G (LTE):
Common FDD LTE bands include Band 1 (2100 MHz), Band 3 (1800 MHz), Band 7 (2600 MHz), Band 8 (900 MHz), Band 20 (800 MHz), and Band 28 (700 MHz).
- 5G (NR):FDD bands are also used in 5G networks, though TDD bands are also prevalent.

SDL bands
SDL band frequencies vary, but a key example is the 1500 MHz band (LTE Band 75 / NR Band n75), which is specifically used for Supplementary Downlink (SDL) transmissions from the base station in some regions like Austria, providing additional downlink capacity. Another mentioned SDL band is part of the 700 MHz band (e.g., NR Band n29). SDL is a feature in 5G technology that provides extra downlink bandwidth to enhance network coverage and capacity.
What is SDL?
Purpose:
SDL (Supplementary Downlink) provides additional downlink (base station to device) bandwidth, especially to improve user experience and capacity in areas with coverage challenges.
Context:
It is a feature of 5G and other mobile technologies, often used in conjunction with other frequency bands to create a more robust network.
Examples of SDL Bands
1500 MHz Band (Band 75 / n75):
In some countries, like Austria, this band (1452-1492 MHz) is designated for SDL, offering a balance between capacity and coverage.
700 MHz Band (Band n29):
Some configurations of the 700 MHz band are also specified as an SDL band in 5G NR standards.
How it Works
SDL uses unpaired spectrum, meaning the uplink and downlink frequencies are separate.
It can be aggregated with other LTE or 5G bands to provide the supplementary downlink capacity.

SUL Bands
SuL (Supplemental Uplink) band frequencies include 880-915 MHz (Band n81), 832-862 MHz (Band n82), 703-748 MHz (Band n83), and 1920-1980 MHz (Band n84). These are specific uplink frequencies in the 5G New Radio (NR) framework that enhance network capacity and coverage for the uplink direction, allowing user equipment (UE) to transmit to the base station (BS) on these frequencies alongside the main uplink band.
What is SuL?
- Supplemental Uplink: SuL provides an additional uplink path for 5G networks.
- Enhanced Uplink Capacity: By using SuL, networks can increase uplink capacity, which is beneficial for data-intensive applications and services that require high upload speeds and reliability.
- Network Coverage: SuL bands often utilize lower frequencies, which can provide better coverage and penetration, helping to reach more users.

TDD bands
TDD bands are specific frequency ranges designated for Time Division Duplexing, a wireless communication method where the same frequency is used for both transmitting and receiving data by alternating between them in a time-slotted manner. Common TDD bands include the 2300 MHz band (LTE Band 40, 5G NR Band n40) which is widely used globally, and various bands within the 1-6 GHz (5G mid-band) and 24 GHz – 100 GHz (5G mmWave) ranges.
How TDD Works
Shared Frequency:
Unlike FDD (Frequency Division Duplexing) which uses separate frequencies for transmission and reception, TDD uses a single frequency band for both.
Time-Slotting:
The device and the base station alternate between transmitting and receiving data in rapid, time-sensitive slots.
Examples:
For 4G, LTE Band 40 is a prime example of a TDD band. For 5G, TDD is used across a range of frequencies, including the 5G mid-band and the high-frequency mmWave bands.
Examples of TDD Frequency Bands
LTE Band 40 (2300 MHz): A widely supported TDD band for 4G, also known as 5G NR Band n40.
5G Low-Band: TDD can be used in frequencies below 1 GHz, though it’s often paired with FDD in this range.
5G Mid-Band: A common use of TDD is in the 1-6 GHz frequency range for 5G.
5G mmWave: High-frequency bands, from 24 GHz to 100 GHz, are primarily designated for TDD.
Key Characteristics
Flexibility:
TDD offers greater flexibility in balancing upload and download capacity, as the time slots can be adjusted to meet varying demand.
Device Support:
Bands like the 2300 MHz TDD band are well-supported by end devices due to their widespread use in many countries.
