Abstract

One disclosure of the present specification provides a terminal for transmitting and receiving a signal, the terminal supporting dual connectivity between E-UTRA and NR. The terminal comprises: a transceiver for transmitting an uplink signal and receiving a downlink signal by using the dual connectivity; and a processor for controlling the transceiver, wherein the transceiver is configured to use two of E-UTRA operating bands 1, 3, 18, 21, 28, 41, and 42 and NR operating band n79, and when an uplink center frequency of a first operating band among the E-UTRA operating bands and the NR operating band n79 is a first value and a downlink center frequency of the first operating band is a second value, an MSD is preset, and on the basis of a dual uplink operation, the MSD may be applied to reference sensitivity used for receiving the downlink signal.
