6.2.1 UE maximum output power

The following Power Classes define the nominal maximum output power. The nominal power defined is the broadband transmit power of the UE, i.e. the power in a bandwidth of at least (1+α) times the chip rate of the radio access mode. The period of measurement shall be at least one timeslot. For DC-HSUPA, the nominal transmit power is defined by the sum of the broadband transmit power of each carrier in the UE.

In case there is a harmonic relation between low band UL and high band DL, then the maximum tolerance among the different supported carrier aggregation configurations involving such band shall be applied

– When the UTRA operating band frequency range is >1GHz, the applicable additional tolerance shall be the maximum tolerance that applies for that operating band among the supported DB-DC-HSDPA, dual band 4C-HSDPA, and E-UTRA CA configurations.

– CEIL { x, 0.5 } means rounding upwards to closest 0.5dB, i.e. CM = [0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5]

– k is 1.85 for signals where all channelisations codes meet the following criteria CSF, N where N< SF/2

– k is 1.56 for signals were any channelisations codes meet the following criteria CSF, N where N ≥ SF/2

– v_norm is the normalized voltage waveform of the input signal

– v_norm_ref is the normalized voltage waveform of the reference signal (12.2 kbps AMR Speech) and

– 20 * log10 ((v_norm_ref 3) rms) = 1.52 dB

NOTE: CM is measured at each carrier.

6.2.3 UE Relative code domain power accuracy

The UE Relative code domain power accuracy is a measure of the ability of the UE to correctly set the level of individual code powers relative to the total power of all active codes. When the UE uses 16QAM modulation on any of the uplink code channels the IQ origin offset power shall be removed from the Measured CDP ratio; however, the removed relative IQ origin offset power (relative carrier leakage power) also has to satisfy the applicable requirement. The measure of accuracy is the difference between two dB ratios:

UE Relative CDP accuracy = (Measured CDP ratio) – (Nominal CDP ratio)

where

Measured CDP ratio = 10*log((Measured code power) / (Measured total power of all active codes))

Nominal CDP ratio = 10*log((Nominal CDP) / (Sum of all nominal CDPs))

The nominal CDP of a code is relative to the total of all codes and is derived from beta factors.

When the UE uses 16QAM modulation a correction factor shall be applied to the ed value used to compute the Nominal CDP equal to {A1*(0.4472)^2 + A2*(1.3416)^2+ A3*(-0.4472)^2 + A4*(-1.3416)^2}1/2 where A1, A2, A3 and A4 are the fractions of symbols (00, 01, 10, 11 respectively) transmitted during the test.

The sum of all nominal CDPs will equal 1 by definition.

NOTE: The above definition of UE relative CDP accuracy is independent of variations in the actual total power of the signal and of noise in the signal that falls on inactive codes.

The required accuracy of the UE relative CDP is given in table 6.1B. The UE relative CDP accuracy shall be maintained over the period during which the total of all active code powers remains unchanged or one timeslot, whichever is the longer.

6.2.3A UE Relative code domain power accuracy for DC-HSUPA

The requirement and corresponding measurements apply to each individual carrier when the total power in each of the assigned carriers is equal to each other

The UE Relative code domain power accuracy is a measure of the ability of the UE to correctly set the level of individual code powers in a carrier relative to the total power of all active codes in that carrier. When the UE uses 16QAM modulation on any of the uplink code channels in a carrier the IQ origin offset power measured in that carrier shall be removed from the Measured CDP ratio in that carrier; however, the removed relative IQ origin offset power (relative carrier leakage power) measured in that carrier also has to satisfy the applicable requirement in that carrier. The measure of accuracy is the difference between two dB ratios measured per carrier configured on the uplink:

UE Relative CDP accuracy = (Measured CDP ratio) – (Nominal CDP ratio)

where

Measured CDP ratio = 10*log((Measured code power) / (Measured total power of all active codes))

Nominal CDP ratio = 10*log((Nominal CDP) / (Sum of all nominal CDPs))

The nominal CDP of a code is relative to the total of all codes in each carrier and is derived from beta factors. The sum of all nominal CDPs will equal 1 by definition.

NOTE: The above definition of UE relative CDP accuracy is independent of variations in the actual total power of the signal in each carrier and of noise in the signal that falls on inactive codes.

The required accuracy of the UE relative CDP is given in table 6.1B. The UE relative CDP accuracy shall be maintained over the period during which the total of all active code powers remains unchanged or one timeslot, whichever is the longer.

The reference measurement channels for the requirements in subclause 6.2.3A are provided in subclause A.2.6 and A.2.7.
