6.1.6.1 Reference Radio Conditions (3.84 Mcps TDD IMB)

The following transmission parameters shall be used unless otherwise stated in the description of the individual test case.

Table 6.1.6.3 gives the default settings for a non-suitable cell which is configured and always present whereas table 6.1.6.4 is for a cell that is switched off. Cells configured according to table 6.1.6.3 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 reconfiguring as in table 6.1.6.4, but this takes a lot of time to do.
