6 Performance Criteria
25.1133GPPBase station (BS) and repeater electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)Release 17TS
6.1 Performance criteria for continuous phenomena for BS
The test should, where possible, be performed using a bearer with the characteristics of data rate and BLER defined in Table 1. If the test is not performed using one of these bearers (for, example, of none of them are supported by the BS), the characteristics of the bearer used shall be recorded in the test report.
The BS Uplink and Downlink paths shall each meet the performance criteria defined in Table 1 during the test. If the Uplink and Downlink paths are evaluated as a one loop then the criteria is two times the value shown in Table 1.After each test case BS shall operate as intended with no loss of user control function, stored data and the communication link shall be maintained.

BLER < 10-2 No loss of service |
64 kbps |
BLER < 10-2 No loss of service |
144 kbps |
BLER < 10-2 No loss of service |
384 kbps |
BLER < 10-2 No loss of service |
NOTE: The performance criteria, BLER < 10-2 / No loss of service, applies also if a bearer with another characteristics is used in the test.
6.2 Performance criteria for transient phenomena for BS
The test should be, where possible, be performed using a bearer with the characteristics of data rate and BLER defined in Table 2. If the test is not performed using one of these bearers (for, example, of none of them are supported by the BS), the characteristics of the bearer used shall be recorded.
The BS Uplink and Downlink paths shall each meet the performance criteria defined in table 2 during the test. If the Uplink and Downlink paths are evaluated as a one loop then the criteria is two times the value shown in Table 2. After each test case BS shall operate as intended with no loss of user control function, stored data and the communication link shall be maintained.

144 kbps |
BLER > 10-2 temporarily, however the communication link shall be maintained |

BLER > 10-2 temporarily, however the communication link shall be maintained |
NOTE: The performance criteria, BLER > 10-2 temporarily / however the communication link shall be maintained, applies also if a bearer with another characteristics is used in the test.
6.3 (void)
6.4 Performance criteria for continuous phenomena for Ancillary equipment
The apparatus shall continue to operate as intended during and after the test. No degradation of performance or loss of function is allowed below the performance level specified by the manufacturer, when the apparatus is used as intended. The performance level may be replaced by a permissible performance loss of performance. If the minimum performance level or the permissible performance loss is not specified by the manufacture, either of these may be derived from the product description and documentation and what the user may reasonably expect from the apparatus if used as intended.
6.5 Performance criteria for transient phenomena for Ancillary equipment
The apparatus shall continue to operate as intended after the test. No degradation of performance or loss of function is allowed below the performance level specified by the manufacturer, when the apparatus is used as intended. The performance level may be replaced by a permissible performance loss of performance. During the test, degradation of performance is however allowed. If the minimum performance level or the permissible performance loss is not specified by the manufacture, either of these may be derived from the product description and documentation and what the user may reasonably expect from the apparatus if used as intended.
6.6 (void)
6.7 Performance criteria for continuous phenomena for repeaters
The gain of the EUT shall be measured throughout the period of exposure of the phenomenon. The gain measured during the test shall not change from the gain measured before the test by more than ± 1 dB. At the conclusion of the test the EUT shall operate as intended with no loss of user control functions or stored data.
6.8 Performance criteria for transient phenomena for repeaters
The gain of the EUT shall be measured before the test and after each exposure. At the conclusion of each exposure the gain of the EUT shall not have changed by more than ± 1 dB. At the conclusion of the total test comprising the series of individual exposures, the EUT shall operate as intended with no loss of user control functions or stored data, as declared by the manufacturer, and the gain of the EUT shall not have changed by more than ± 1 dB.
