8.7 Sustained downlink data rate provided by lower layers
36.1013GPPEvolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA)Release 18TSUser Equipment (UE) radio transmission and reception
The purpose of the test is to verify that the Layer 1 and Layer 2 correctly process in a sustained manner the received packets corresponding to the maximum number of DL-SCH transport block bits received within a TTI for the UE category indicated. The sustained downlink data rate shall be verified in terms of the success rate of delivered PDCP SDU(s) by Layer 2. The test case below specifies the RF conditions and the required success rate of delivered TB by Layer 1 to meet the sustained data rate requirement. The size of the TB per TTI corresponds to the largest possible DL-SCH transport block for each UE category using the maximum number of layers for spatial multiplexing. Transmission modes 1 and 3 are used with radio conditions resembling a scenario where sustained maximum data rates are available.
Test case is selected according to table 8.7-1 depending on UE capability for CA and EPDCCH.
