Conclusion
In this discussion we analyse the RAN2 impacts for RAN4 assumption on support for NR-Inband operation for NB-IoT-NTN and make following proposals.
Proposal 1: RAN2 to consider NOTE for Table5.5a-1 to capture supported operating modes for IoT-NTN and also the combinations for multi-carrier operation.
Proposal 2: RAN2 to discuss whether UE capability without signalling is needed to indicate the UE support for new deployment mode.
