For EUTRA in case of MR-DC, the approximate data rate for a given number of aggregated carriers in a band or band
combination is computed as follows.
wherein
TB S j is the total maximum number of DL-SCH transport block bits received within a 1ms TTI for j-th CC, as
derived from TS36.213 [19] based on the UE supported maximum MIMO layers for the j-th CC, and based on
the maximum modulation order for the j-th CC and number of PRBs based on the bandwidth of the j-th CC
according to indicated UE capabilities.
The approximate maximum data rate can be computed as the maximum of the approximate data rates computed using
the above formula for each of the supported band or band combinations.
For MR-DC, the approximate maximum data rate is computed as the sum of the approximate maximum data rates from
NR and EUTRA.
4.1.3 Void
The required total layer 2 buffer size in MR-DC and NR-DC is the maximum value of the calculated values based on
the following equations:
NOTE: Additional L2 buffer required for preprocessing of data is not taken into account in above formula.
The required total layer 2 buffer size is determined as the maximum total layer 2 buffer size of all the calculated ones
for each band combination and the applicable Feature Set combination in the supported MR-DC or NR band
combinations. The RLC RTT for NR cell group corresponds to the smallest SCS numerology supported in the band
combination and the applicable Feature Set combination.
wherein
X2/Xn delay + Queuing in SN = 25ms if SCG is NR, and 55ms if SCG is EUTRA
