8 Performance requirements

25.1423GPPBase Station (BS) conformance testing (TDD)Release 17TS

Tools: ARFCN - Frequency Conversion for 5G NR/LTE/UMTS/GSM

8.1 General

Performance requirements for the BS are specified for the measurement channels defined in Annex A and the propagation conditions in Annex B. The requirements only apply to those measurement channels that are supported by the base station. The performance requirements for the high speed train conditions defined in Annex B.3 are optional. All Bit Error Ratio (BER) and Block Error ratio (BLER) measurements shall be carried out according to the general rules for statistical testing defined in ITU-T Recommendation O.153 [10] and Annex F.

Unless stated otherwise, performance requirements apply for a single carrier only. Performance requirements for a BS supporting MC-HSUPA are defined in terms of single carrier requirements.

The characteristics of the white noise source, simulating interference from other cells (I_oc), shall comply with the AWGN interferer definition in subclause 5.18.

The requirements only apply to a base station with dual receiver antenna diversity unless otherwise stated. The required Î_or/I_oc shall be applied separately at each antenna port.

The test purpose is to verify the ability of the BS to receive a prescribed test signal under static propagation conditions with a BLER not exceeding a specified limit. Within the wanted channel, intracell interference sources as well as an additional intercell interference source are taken into account. Therefore, this test – as all other tests in clause 8 – mainly checks the ability of the signal processing part of the receiver to extract the wanted signal from the interfered-with input signal, whereas the tests in clause 7 concentrate on the receiver RF part.

The set of interference generators comprises a number of CDMA generators, each representing an individual intracell interferer (subsequently called DPCH₀ generators), and an additional band-limited white noise source, simulating interference from other cells. Each DPCH₀ generator shall produce an interfering signal that is equivalent to a valid UTRA TDD signal with spreading factor 16, using the same time slot(s) than the wanted signal and applying the same cell-specific scrambling code. The number of the DPCH₀ generators used in each test is given in table 8.2.

The performance of ACK error detection, P(ACK->NACK) should not exceed the required error ratio for the specified in Table 8.22A.

Table 8.22A: Performance requirements for ACK error detection in fading channels using HS-SICH type1

Propagation conditions	Received (dB)	Required error ratio
Case 1	1,8	< 10^-2
Case 2*	1,5	< 10^-2
Case 3*	0,8	< 10^-2
*Note: This case is not applicable to Home BS

Table 8.22B: Performance requirements for ACK error detection in fading channels using HS-SICH type2

Propagation conditions	Received (dB)	Required error ratio
Case 1	-0.6	< 10^-2
Case 2*	-0.1	< 10^-2
*Note: This case is not applicable to Home BS
