Simply put, either you quote frequencies as uplink/downlink, or you pick semi-representative "names" for each set of frequencies.

Numbers are probably easier to deal with than acronyms/initialisms, so you generally see "2100", "1900" and "1700" rather than "IMT", "PCS" or "AWS" (although of the three, that is the one I've seen most).
