7.1 General

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

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 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.

The UE antenna performance has a significant impact on system performance, and minimum requirements on the antenna efficiency are therefore intended to be included in future versions of the present document. It is recognised that different requirements and test methods are likely to be required for the different types of UE.

UEs supporting DC-HSDPA, regardless of MIMO configuration, shall support both minimum requirements, as well as additional requirements for DC-HSDPA.

UEs supporting DB-DC-HSDPA shall support both minimum requirements as well as additional requirements for DB-DC-HSDPA.

UEs supporting DC-HSUPA shall support both minimum requirements, as well as additional requirements for DC-HSUPA.

UEs supporting single band 4C-HSDPA shall support minimum requirements, additional requirements for DC-HSDPA as well as additional requirements for single band 4C-HSDPA.

UEs supporting dual band 4C-HSDPA shall support minimum requirements, additional requirements for DC-HSDPA, additional requirements for DB-DC-HSDPA as well as additional requirements for dual band 4C-HSDPA.

UEs supporting single band 8C-HSDPA shall support minimum requirements, additional requirements for DC-HSDPA and single band 4C-HSDPA as well as additional requirements for single band 8C-HSDPA.

UEs supporting single band NC-4C-HSDPA shall support minimum requirements, additional requirements for DC-HSDPA as well as additional requirements for NC-4C-HSDPA.

For minimum requirements, all the parameters in clause 7 are defined using the DL reference measurement channel (12.2 kbps) specified in subclause A.3.1 and unless otherwise stated with DL power control OFF.

For the additional requirements for DC-HSDPA, DB-DC-HSDPA, DC-HSUPA, single band/dual band 4C-HSDPA or single band 8C-HSDPA or single band NC-4C-HSDPA, all the parameters in clause 7 are defined using the DL reference measurement channel H-Set 12, specified in subclause A.7.1.12 and the downlink physical channel setup according to table C.12C.

For the additional requirements for DC-HSDPA, the spacing of the carrier frequencies of the two cells in downlink shall be 5 MHz, and it is assumed that the UE is configured with a single uplink carrier frequency.

For the additional requirements for DC-HSUPA, the spacing of the carrier frequencies of the two cells in both downlink and uplink shall be 5 MHz.

For the additional requirements for single band/dual band 4C-HSDPA or single band NC-4C-HSDPA, the spacing of the adjacent carrier frequencies in downlink and uplink shall be 5 MHz.

For the additional requirements for single 8C-HSDPA, the spacing of the adjacent carrier frequencies in downlink and uplink shall be 5 MHz.

For each single band/dual band 4C-HSDPA and single band 8C-HSDPA or single band NC-4C-HSDPA configuration, the UL-DL carrier separation is defined as minimum (maximum) when the UL carrier is placed at minimum (maximum) possible distance in frequency from the closest carrier in the corresponding DL band for which the requirement applies.

The requirements specified in Section 7 in general could be different for each single band/dual band 4C-HSDPA or single band NC-4C-HSDPA configuration within the same operating band(s).

For the additional requirements for single band NC-4C-HSDPA, in-gap test refers to the case when the interfering signal is located at a positive offset with respect to the the assigned channel frequency of the highest carrier frequency of the left end subblock; or located at a negative offset with respect to the assigned channel frequency of the lowest carrier frequency of the right end subblock.

For the additional requirements for single band NC-4C-HSDPA out-of-gap test refers to the case when the interfering signal(s) is (are) located at a positive offset with respect to the assigned channel frequency of the highest carrier frequency, or located at a negative offset with respect to the assigned channel frequency of the lowest carrier frequency.

For the additional requirements for single band NC-4C-HSDPA, existing blocking characteristics requirements shall be supported for in-gap tests only if the gap length satisfies the following condition so that the interferer position does not change the nature of the core requirement tested:

Gap length ≥ 2*Interferer frequency offset –5MHz
