8.14 UE UL power control operation with discontinuous UL DPCCH transmission operation

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

8.14.1 Minimum requirement

This test verifies that the UE follows only those TPC commands that correspond to the UL DPCCH slots which are transmitted.

Test parameters are specified in Table 8.45A. The discontinuous UL DPCCH transmission is enabled during the test. The parameters for discontinuous UL DPCCH transmission operation are as specified in Table A.20A. Before the start of the tests, the UE transmit power shall be initialised to -15 dBm. An actual UE transmit power may vary from the target level of -15 dBm due to inaccurate UE output power step.

After transmission gaps due to discontinuous uplink DPCCH transmission the uplink transmitter power difference shall be within the range as defined in Table 8.45B. The transmit power difference is defined as the difference between the power of the last slot transmitted before the gap and the power of first slot transmitted after the gap. The on power observation period is defined as the mean power over one timeslot excluding any transient periods.
