6.1.5 Reference Radio Conditions (FDD)
34.1083GPPCommon test environments for User Equipment (UE)Conformance testingRelease 15TS
The following transmission parameters shall be used unless otherwise stated in the description of the individual test case.
Table 6.1.3 are the default settings for a non-suitable cell which is configured and always present whereas table 6.1.4 is for a cell that is switched off. Cells configured according to table 6.1.3 are for test cases in which it is necessary to make a cell unsuitable, and then subsequently make it suitable. This could be achieved by switching the cell off and then reconfiguration as in table 6.1.4, but this takes a lot of time to do.

NOTE 1: The power level is specified in terms of CPICH_Ec instead of CPICH_RSCP as RSCP is a receiver measurement and only CPICH_Ec can be directly controlled by the SS. NOTE 2: The cell fulfils 3GPP TS 25.304 [36], clause 5.2.3.1.2 and 3GPP TS 25.133 [30], clause 8.1.2.2.1. NOTE 3: The Test Frequencies are selected from the Tables in section 5.1.1 for the band under test. |

NOTE 1: The power level is specified in terms of CPICH_Ec instead of CPICH_RSCP as RSCP is a receiver measurement and only CPICH_Ec can be directly controlled by the SS. NOTE 2: Both cells fulfil 3GPP TS 25.304 [36], clause 5.2.3.1.2 and 3GPP TS 25.133 [30], clause 8.1.2.2.1. NOTE 3: The Test Frequencies are selected from the Tables in section 5.1.1 for the band(s) under test. For the test frequencies for low and high ranges for serving cell, the mid range is used for suitable neighbour of inter-frequency cell in SIB11. For Band VI the Low Range Test Frequencies are used for Cell 1 and Cell 2 because of the small bandwidth available. For FDD interband testing the Test Frequencies will be selected from different Bands. |

6.1.5.2 Inter-band testing (FDD)
FDD inter-band testing only applies for UEs supporting multiple FDD bands simultaneously. In this case the UE can perform cell (re-)selection or inter-frequency mobility between a primary band and a secondary band. The primary and secondary FDD bands are selected according to PIXIT parameters. If a UE supports more than 2 FDD frequency bands, then the test may be executed for various band combinations.
