8.13.2.3 Enhanced Performance Requirements Type A Closed-loop spatial multiplexing
8.13.2.3.1 Minimum Requirement Single-Layer Spatial Multiplexing 2 Tx Antenna Port with TM4 interference model (Cell-Specific Reference Symbols)
The purpose of these tests is to verify the closed loop rank-one performance with wideband precoding with two transmit antennas when the PDSCH transmission in the serving cell is interfered by PDSCH of one dominant interfering cell applying transmission mode 4 interference model defined in clause B.5.3. In Table 8.13.2.3.1-1, Cell 1 is the serving cell, and Cell 2 is the interfering cell. The downlink physical channel setup is according to Annex C.3.2 for each of Cell 1 and Cell 2, respectively.
For CA with 2 DL CCs, the requirements are specified in Table 8.13.2.3.1-3, based on single carrier requirement specified in Table 8.13.2.3.1-2, with the addition of the parameters in Table 8.13.2.3.1-1 and the downlink physical channel setup according to Annex C.3.2.

Note 1: Note 2: The respective received power spectral density of each interfering cell relative to Note 3: Cell 1 is the serving cell. Cell 2, 3 are the interfering cells. Note 4: If the UE reports in an available uplink reporting instance at subrame SF#n based on PMI estimation at a downlink SF not later than SF#(n-4), this reported PMI cannot be applied at the eNB downlink before SF#(n+4). Note 5: All cells are time-synchronous. Note 6: ACK/NACK bits are transmitted using PUSCH with PUCCH format 1b with channel selection configured for tests with 2 CCs. Note 7: To avoid collisions between CQI reports and HARQ-ACK it is necessary to report both on PUSCH instead of PUCCH. PDCCH DCI format 0 shall be transmitted in downlink SF#1, SF#4, SF#6 and #9 to allow periodic CQI to multiplex with the HARQ-ACK on PUSCH in uplink subframe SF#7 SF#8 SF#2 and SF#3. |
