l Simultaneous transmission of PUSCH and PUCCHor a clustered PUSCH qualitatively causes multiple carriers in the frequency spectrum

l This leads to:

l Higher crest factor of the LTE-Advanced signal

l Higher crest factor of the LTE-Advanced signal

l Intermodulation products which might violate frequency masks

l Higher complexity of the base station receiver
