Abstract

Provided is a method for transmitting and receiving a signal by a terminal supporting dual-connectivity between evolved universal terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) and new radio (NR). In the method, when the E-UTRA uses at least one of E-UTRA operating bands 1, 3, 5, and 7, when the NR uses one of NR operating bands n77, n78, and n79, when an uplink center frequency of a first operating band among the E-UTRA operating bands and the NR operating bands is a first value, and when a downlink center frequency of the first operating band is a second value, a predetermined maximum sensitivity degradation (MSD) is applied to reference sensitivity used for reception of the downlink signal.

Claims (20)

1. A terminal comprising:

a transceiver configured with dual-connectivity between an evolved universal terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) and a new radio (NR); and

a processor controlling the transceiver to perform a dual uplink operation,

wherein the dual uplink operation generates an intermodulation product,

wherein the E-UTRA is configured with at least one or two of E-UTRA operating bands 1, 3, 5, and 7,

wherein the NR is configured with one of NR operating bands n77, n78, and n79; and

wherein based on (i) an uplink center frequency of a first operating band among the E-UTRA operating bands and the NR operating bands being a first value, and based on (ii) a downlink center frequency of the first operating band being a second value, a reference sensitivity is allowed to be relaxed by a predetermined value for maximum sensitivity degradation (MSD).

2. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein when the E-UTRA is configured with the E-UTRA operating band 5, the NR is configured with the NR operating band n78, the first operating band is the E-UTRA operating band 5, the first value is 844 MHz, the second value is 889 MHz, and the predetermined value for the MSD value is 8.3 dB.
