Note 1: As specified in Table 4.2-1 in TS 36.211 [4].

Note 2: EPDCCH precoder parameters are defined for tests with 2 x 2 antenna configuration

The requirements are specified in Table 8.7.4-3, with the addition of the parameters in Table 8.7.4-2 and the downlink physical channel setup according to Annex C.3.2. The test points are applied to UE category, CA capability and bandwidth combination with maximum aggregated bandwidth as specified inTable 8.7.4-4. The TB success rate shall be sustained during at least 300 frames.

Note 1: For 2 layer transmissions, 2 transport blocks are received within a TTI.

Note 2: 71112 bits for sub-frame 5.

Note 3: The TB success rate is defined as TB success rate = 100%*NDL_correct_rx/ (NDL_newtx + NDL_retx), where NDL_newtx is the number of newly transmitted DL transport blocks, NDL_retx is the number of retransmitted DL transport blocks, and NDL_correct_rx is the number of correctly received DL transport blocks.
