CBRS Alliance Overview
Overview
• CBRS Alliance is an industry forum created to champion 3GPP
based RANs in the CBRS Band (3550-3700 MHz) in accordance
with FCC Part 96 Rules
• Information on FCC Part 96 can be found at:
– The Part 96 rules can be found at: https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/ECFR,
select Title 47, Chapter 1, Volume 5, Part 96
– WInnForum webinar: Understanding the New US 3.5 GHz Band at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQ2a4ZRjGgE&t=304sNote: This Webinar is from June 2015 and a couple of the FCC rules have since been
revised, but webinar remains an excellent overview. WInnForum has additional Webinars on
CBRS available on youtube.

CBRS 3-tiered spectrum sharing in the US
Opens up 150 MHz spectrum for new commercial use without impacting incumbents
Incumbents are protected
from interference from
PAL and GAA
PAL has priority over GAA,
licensed via auction, 10 MHz

OnGo™ Certification Process: 4 Simple Steps
1. Vendor submits certification request with device information
– Vendor needs to be a CBRS Alliance member
2. Vendor/ATL uploads necessary documentation
– ATL performs testing & obtains FCC ID
– Reuse of test results from FCC Part 96 Authorization is possible
3. CBRS Alliance Certification Board reviews test results
– Certification PM works with ATL/vendor to resolve issues
4. CBRS Alliance grants OnGo™ certification
16CBRS Alliance Copyright © 2020
OnGo™ Certification Process: Certification Types
Initial Certification
• First certification of a new product
• Similarity to FCC Original Equipment
• Full testing
Engineering Change Order (ECO)
• Update to an already certified device
• Similarity to FCC Permissive Changes Class II / III
• Full/Partial testing
Rebranding
• Vendor resells already certified device under different brand
• Similarity to FCC Change in Identification
• Paper documentation
• No testing
17CBRS Alliance Copyright © 2020
OnGo™ Certification Process: Air Interface Support
• E-UTRA (LTE)
– No 3GPP testing as part of OnGo™ certification
– Declaration of compliance statement required
– Mandatory for OnGo™ Release 1 certification
• 5G/NR
– OnGo™ Certification of 5G/NR will become available with Release 3.
– Add OnGo™ 5G Ready Statement to an existing OnGo™ certification
– Additional declaration of compliance statement required
• Non-3GPP
– Not possible

OnGo IdentifiersOnGo 101
CBRSA Identifiers
• LTE Home Network Identifier (HNI) Only Has 3 Digits– 6-digit Public Land Mobile Network – ID
– 3 digit country code
– 3 digit network code
– Not enough for lots of OnGo networks
• CBRSA’s Has A Shared Home Network Identifier (SHNI) (315-010)– Can be used by any OnGo network
– Overloaded on existing LTE Closed Subscriber Group field
• Other IDs Needed to Ensure Uniqueness– Mobility Management Engine Group Identifier (MMEGI)
• 1 per roaming area
– Macro eNB ID• 1 per eNodeB (CBSD)
• IMSI Block Number (for SIMS) Administered by US IMSI Admin– imsiadmin.com
