As Marcus commented, it certainly does follow the Nyquist criterion. However you just need to keep in mind that I/q sampling is complex so each complex sample can be considered 2 real independent samples and Nyquist will still apply. Also take a look at this answer "Complex sampling" can break Nyquist?

Suggest you take a look at a similar question I posted Sample rates, Samples per Symbol, and Digital Pulse Shaping In general, the Positive BW for an RRC filter is $$BW_{pos} = (1+a)\frac{R_b}{2\log_2(M)} = (1+a)\frac{R_s}{2}$$ where $R_b$ is the bit rate, $a$ is the excess bw, $R_s$ is the symbol rate, and $M$ is the constellation size. Since you're dealing ...

Nyquist says that you can send up to twice as many pulses (symbols) per second as the channel bandwidth $B$ with zero ISI, so you need $R_s \leq 2B$. That is all there is to it. The sinc pulse has zero excess bandwidth so the bandwidth of the signal is equal to the symbol rate, $B_s = R_s$. About sampling, Nyquist says that you need to sample at least twice ...
