According to the size and application range, user equipment (UE) may be roughly classified as follows:
——Voice data type: such UE (e.g., hand-held user equipment) can support circuit domain (or packet domain) voice services as well as packet domain bearer services;
——Data type: such UE (e.g., Wi-Fi, data card and central processing element (CPE)) dose not support CS domain voice services but packet domain bearer services.

The power class of UE is defined according to the maximum output power of all cellular antennas, as shown in Table 1.

According to the size and application range, user equipment (UE) may be roughly classified as follows:
——Voice data type: such UE (e.g., hand-held user equipment) can support circuit domain (or packet domain) voice services as well as packet domain bearer services;
——Data type: such UE (e.g., Wi-Fi, data card and central processing element (CPE)) dose not support CS domain voice services but packet domain bearer services.

The power class of UE is defined according to the maximum output power of all cellular antennas, as shown in Table 1.
