As an example, in GSM, tests related to blocking are performed with a desensitisation of 20 dB for the two first adjacent channels, and of 3 dB for the following channels. In UMTS and LTE, the following table applies.
Anchor | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
|
| 1st adjacent | Following adjacent | Adjacent narrowband |
UMTS BS | 6 dB | 6 dB | 6 dB |
LTE BS | 6 dB | 6 dB | 6 dB |
UMTS UE | 14 dB | 3 dB | 10 dB |
LTE UE | 14 dB | 6 to 9 dB[1] | 13 to 16 dB6 |

It can be noted that the desensitisation considered for testing varies with the frequency offset, while the network is designed for a specific value. In section 7.5.1 of 3GPP TS 25 101 [5] and TS 36 101 [1] related to the UE, the desensitisation value is explicitly mentioned as a testing parameter.
