10 Performance requirement (E-DCH)

25.1013GPPRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) radio transmission and reception (FDD)

10.1 General

The performance requirements for the UE in this subclause are specified for the propagation conditions specified in Annex B.2.2 and the Downlink Physical channels specified in Annex C.3.2.

Unless otherwise stated the receiver characteristics are specified at the antenna connector of the UE. For UE(s) with an integral antenna only, a reference antenna with a gain of 0 dBi is assumed. UE with an integral antenna may be taken into account by converting these power levels into field strength requirements, assuming a 0 dBi gain antenna. For UEs with more than one receiver antenna connector the fading of the signals and the AWGN signals applied to each receiver antenna connector shall be uncorrelated. The levels of the test signal applied to each of the antenna connectors shall be as defined in the respective sections below. Enhanced performance requirements Type 1 are based on receiver diversity.

10.2 Detection of E-DCH HARQ ACK Indicator Channel (E-HICH)

10.2.1 Single link performance

The receive characteristics of the E-DCH HARQ ACK Indicator Channel (E-HICH) in different multi-path fading environments are determined by the missed ACK and false ACK values.

10.2.1.1 Performance requirement

For the parameters specified in Table 10.1 the average downlink E-HICH Ec/Ior power ratio shall be below the specified value for the missed ACK probabilities in Table 10.2 and 10.3 for minimum performance requirements and Table 10.2A and 10.3A for enhanced performance requirements Type 1. For the parameters specified in Table 10.1 the false ACK probability shall be below the specified value in Table 10.4 and 10.5.

10.2.2 Detection in Inter-Cell Handover conditions

The receive characteristics of the E-DCH HARQ ACK Indicator Channel (E-HICH) is determined during an inter-cell soft handover by the missed ACK and false ACK error probabilities. During the soft handover a UE receives signals from different cells. A UE has to be able to detect E-HICH signalling from different cells belonging to different RLS, containing and not containing the Serving E-DCH cell.

10.2.2.1 Performance requirement for RLS not containing the Serving E-DCH cell

10.3A Determination of common E-RGCH radio links in CELL_FACH state

10.3A.1 Introduction

The requirements defined in this section are applicable to a UE supporting Common E-RGCH based interference control [7].

Uplink interference from E-DCH transmission in CELL_FACH can be controlled based on the UE monitoring an E-RGCH channel from the neighboring cells. The UE determines the set of cells from candidate set for common E-RGCH monitoring by comparing CPICH_Ec/No of the neighbor cell within a threshold of the serving cell CPICH_Ec/No according to the procedure specified in [7]. The UE starts monitoring common E-RGCH from common E-RGCH radio link (RL).

10.3A.2 Requirements

10.3A.2.1 Determination when a cell for common E-RGCH RL has been already identified

This test case is targeting the scenario where UE has already been in CELL_FACH state for a long enough time to identify candidate cells for common E-RGCH monitoring. The purpose of this test is to verify the amount of time for UE to determine common E-RGCH RL only without including a cell identification time, and to verify the missed down probability after determination.

The test parameters are given in Tables 10.23B and 10.23C below. The test consists of three successive time periods, with a time duration of T1, T2 and T3 respectively. During time duration T1, the UE shall not initiate PRACH preamble transmission for common E-DCH transmission. At the beginning of time duration T2, the UE shall initiate PRACH preamble transmission for common E-DCH transmission. During time duration T3, the common E-DCH resource shall be released.

NOTE: UE may not initiate PRACH preamble transmission for common E-DCH transmission exactly at the beginning of time duration T2.

Missed DOWN probability from Cell 2 shall be measured after 60 ms from initial PRACH preamble transmission until the end of time duration T2. Test shall be repeated to test common E-RGCH RL determination performance. The overall missed DOWN probability shall not exceed 5%. The overall missed down probability shall be measured over multiple repetitions of T2. If the UE fails to determine to monitor Cell 2 during a certain repetition of T1, T2, and T3, then the missed down probability for that repetition will be 100%.

10.3A.2.2 Determination when a cell for common E-RGCH RL has not been identified

This test case is targeting the scenario where UE enters into CELL_FACH and E-DCH resources are allocated immediately, before candidate cells for E-RGCH monitoring have been identified. The purpose of this test is to verify the amount of time for UE to determine common E-RGCH RL including the cell identification time for a candidate cell for common E-RGCH RL.

The test parameters are given in Tables 10.23D and 10.23E below. The test consists of two successive time periods, with a time duration of T1 and T2 respectively. At the beginning of time duration T1, the UE shall initiate PRACH preample transmission for common E-DCH transmission. During time duration T2, the common E-DCH resource shall be released.

NOTE: UE may not initiate PRACH preamble transmission for common E-DCH transmission exactly at the beginning of time duration T1.

Missed DOWN probability from Cell 2 shall be measured after 120 ms from initial PRACH preamble transmission until the end of time duration T1. Test shall be repeated to test common E-RGCH RL determination performance. The overall missed DOWN probability shall not exceed 24%. The overall missed down probability shall be measured over multiple repetitions of T1. If the UE fails to determine to monitor Cell 2 during a certain repletion of T1 and T2, then the missed down probability for that repetition will be 100%.

10.4A Demodulation of E-DCH Absolute Grant Channel (E-AGCH) with Time Multiplexed UE grants

This section specifies performance requirements when the UEs in a cell are scheduled grants in a time multiplexed fashion. The performance metric used to evaluate E-AGCH detection performance is the percentage of incorrect decisions by UE as a function of mis-detection rate (PMD) based on E-AGCH presence check, false alarm rate (PFA) based on E-AGCH presence check, and also the E-AGCH CRC check failure rate (PCRC).

10.4A.1 Single link performance

The receive characteristics of the E-DCH Absolute Grant Channel (E-AGCH) in multi-path fading environment is determined by the missed detection probability.

10.4A.1.1 Performance requirement

For the parameters specified in Table 10.26 the average downlink E-AGCH Ec/Ior power ratio shall be below the specified value for the performance metric in Table 10.27, Table 10.28 and Table 10.30 for minimum performance requirements, and Table 10.29 and Table 10.31 for enhanced performance requirements Type 1.
