6.4 Transmit signal quality

This clause is reserved.

6.4A Transmit signal quality for category M1

6.4A.1 Frequency error for UE category M1

For category M1 UE, the basic measurement interval of modulated carrier frequency is 1 UL timeslot (0.5ms). The UE pre-compensates the uplink modulated carrier frequency by the estimated Doppler shift based on received ephemeris information of the SAN in IE EphemerisInfo (TS 36.331 [6]), its own location and UL carrier frequency signalled to the UE by the SAN (according to TS36.300 [8] clause 16.14.2).

For category M1 FD-FDD UEs and for category M1 HD-FDD UEs with continuous uplink transmissions of duration ≤ 64 ms, the mean value of basic measurements of UE pre-compensated modulated carrier frequency shall be accurate to within ± 0.1 PPM observed over a period of one time slot (0.5 ms) compared with the ideally pre-compensated UL carrier frequency.

For category M1 HD-FDD UEs with continuous uplink transmissions of duration > 64 ms, the mean value of basic measurements of UE pre-compensated modulated carrier frequency shall be accurate within the limits in Table 6.4A.1-1 observed over a period of one time slot (0.5 ms) compared with ideally pre-compensated UL carrier frequency.

When a repetition period is configured on the uplink for which repetition period (R ) >1, the UE shall not change Doppler pre-compensation during an ongoing repetition period, except in the transmission gaps as defined in clause 10.1.3.6 of TS 36.211[3]. When segmentation is applied, then the UE shall update pre-compensation at the beginning of each segment prior to segment transmission.

[NOTE: The ideally pre-compensated reference uplink carrier frequency consists of the UL carrier frequency signalled to the UE by SAN and UL pre-compensated Doppler frequency shift corresponding to the estimated Doppler frequency at the beginning of the transmission. For the test case, the location of the UE is explicitly provided to the UE from the test equipment.]

Requirement will be verified for at least two cases of which one has zero Doppler conditions.

Table 6.4A.1-1: Frequency error requirement for HD-FDD UE category M1

Carrier frequency [GHz]	Frequency error [ppm]
≤1	±0.2
>1	±0.1

6.4A.2 Transmit modulation quality for category M1

Transmit modulation quality defines the modulation quality for expected in-channel RF transmissions from the UE. The transmit modulation quality is specified in terms of:

– Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) for the allocated resource blocks (RBs)

– EVM equalizer spectrum flatness derived from the equalizer coefficients generated by the EVM measurement process

– Carrier leakage

– In-band emissions for the non-allocated RB

All the parameters defined in subclause 6.4A.2 are defined using the measurement methodology specified in clause Annex F of TS 36.101 [7].

For category M1 UE, the requirements in clause 6.5.2E of TS 36.101 [7] shall apply, and only QPSK and 16QAM in UL shall be applicable.

6.4B Transmit signal quality for category NB1 and NB2

6.4B.1 Frequency error for UE category NB1 and NB2

For UE category NB1 and NB2, the UE pre-compensates the uplink modulated carrier frequency by the estimated Doppler shift based on received ephemeris information of the SAN in IE EphemerisInfo (TS 36.331 [6]), its own location and UL carrier frequency signalled to the UE by the SAN (according to TS36.300 [8] clause 23.21.2.2).

The UE pre-compensated modulated carrier frequency shall be accurate to within the limits in Table 6.4B.1-1, observed over a period of one time slot (0.5 ms for 15 kHz sub-carrier spacing and 2 ms excluding the 2304Ts gap for 3.75 kHz sub-carrier spacing) and averaged over 72/L_Ctone slots (where L_Ctone = {1, 3, 6, 12} is the number of sub-carriers used for the transmission), compared to the ideally pre-compensated reference uplink carrier frequency.

Requirement will be verified for at least two cases of which one has zero Doppler conditions.

Transmit modulation quality requirements for Category NB1 and NB2 UEs for BPSK and QPSK modulation as specified in clause 6.5.2F of 36.101 [7] are applicable.

6.5 Output RF spectrum emissions

The output UE transmitter spectrum consists of the three components; the emission within the occupied bandwidth (channel bandwidth), the Out Of Band (OOB) emissions and the far out spurious emission domain.

Figure 6.5-1: Transmitter RF spectrum

6.5A Output RF spectrum emissions for category M1

6.5A.1 General

The definitions in clause 6.5 shall apply.

6.5A.2 Occupied bandwidth for category M1

Occupied bandwidth is defined as the bandwidth containing 99 % of the total integrated mean power of the transmitted spectrum on the assigned channel. The occupied bandwidth for all transmission bandwidth configurations (Resources Blocks) shall be less than the 1.4MHz channel bandwidth specified in Table 6.6.1-1 of TS 36.101 [7].

6.5A.3 Out of band emission for category M1

6.5A.3.1 General

The out of band emissions are unwanted emissions immediately outside the assigned channel bandwidth resulting from the modulation process and non-linearity in the transmitter but excluding spurious emissions. This out of band emission limit is specified in terms of a spectrum emission mask and an Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio.

6.5A.3.2 Spectrum emission mask

The spectrum emission mask of the UE applies to frequencies (Δf_OOB) starting from the ± edge of the assigned E-UTRA channel bandwidth. For frequencies offset greater than Δf_OOB as specified in Table 6.5A.3.2-1 the spurious requirements in subclause 6.5A.4 are applicable.

The power of any UE emission shall not exceed the levels specified in Table 6.5A.3.2-1 for the specified channel bandwidth.

Table 6.5A.3.2-1: Category M1 spectrum emission mask

Δf_OOB (MHz)	1.4 MHz	Measurement bandwidth
± 0-1	-10	30 kHz
± 1-2.5	-10	1 MHz
± 2.5-2.8	-25	1 MHz

NOTE1: As a general rule, the resolution bandwidth of the measuring equipment should be equal to the measurement bandwidth. However, to improve measurement accuracy, sensitivity and efficiency, the resolution bandwidth may be smaller than the measurement bandwidth. When the resolution bandwidth is smaller than the measurement bandwidth, the result should be integrated over the measurement bandwidth in order to obtain the equivalent noise bandwidth of the measurement bandwidth.

[NOTE2: When the UE is operating in an NGSO deployment, to support coexistence, it is assumed that a guardband at least equivalent to the maximum doppler shift expected for the NGSO constellation between the channel edge of the channel bandwidth operated by the UE and the spectrum block edge has been accounted for as part of system deployment configuration by the operator.]

6.5A.3.3 Additional Spectrum Emission Mask for category M1

The additional spectrum emission mask is not applicable.

6.5A.3.4 Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio for category M1

E-UTRA category M1 Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (E-UTRA_ACLR) is the ratio of the filtered mean power centred on the assigned channel frequency to the filtered mean power centred on an adjacent channel frequency at nominal channel spacing. The assigned E-UTRA category M1 channel power and adjacent E-UTRA category M1 channel power are measured with rectangular filters with measurement bandwidths specified in Table 6.5A.3.4-1. If the measured adjacent channel power is greater than –50dBm then the E-UTRA_ACLR shall be higher than the value specified in Table 6.5A.3.4-1.

Table 6.5A.3.4-1: Category M1 ACLR requirements

	Channel bandwidth / E-UTRA_ACLR/ Measurement bandwidth
	1.4 MHz
E-UTRA_ACLR	30 dB
E-UTRA channel Measurement bandwidth	1.08 MHz
Adjacent channel centre frequency offset [MHz]	+1.4/-1.4

6.5A.4 Spurious emission for category M1

6.5A.4.1 General

Spurious emissions are emissions which are caused by unwanted transmitter effects such as harmonics emission, parasitic emissions, intermodulation products and frequency conversion products, but exclude out of band emissions unless otherwise stated. The spurious emission limits are specified in terms of general requirements inline with SM.329 [9] and E-UTRA operating band requirement to address UE co-existence.

To improve measurement accuracy, sensitivity and efficiency, the resolution bandwidth may be smaller than the measurement bandwidth. When the resolution bandwidth is smaller than the measurement bandwidth, the result should be integrated over the measurement bandwidth in order to obtain the equivalent noise bandwidth of the measurement bandwidth.

6.5A.4.2 Minimum requirements

Unless otherwise stated, the spurious emission limits apply for the frequency ranges that are more than F_OOB (MHz) in Table 6.5A.4.2-1 from the edge of the channel bandwidth. The spurious emission limits in Table 6.5A.4.2-2 apply for all transmitter band configurations (N_RB) and channel bandwidths.

NOTE: For measurement conditions at the edge of each frequency range, the lowest frequency of the measurement position in each frequency range should be set at the lowest boundary of the frequency range plus MBW/2. The highest frequency of the measurement position in each frequency range should be set at the highest boundary of the frequency range minus MBW/2. MBW denotes the measurement bandwidth defined for the protected band.

NOTE 1: F_{DL_low} and F_{DL_high} refer to each E-UTRA frequency band specified in Table 5.4A.2-1 NOTE 2: As exceptions, measurements with a level up to the applicable requirements defined in Table 6.5A.4.2-2 are permitted for each assigned E-UTRA carrier used in the measurement due to 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th [or 5^th] harmonic spurious emissions. Due to spreading of the harmonic emission the exception is also allowed for the first 1 MHz frequency range immediately outside the harmonic emission on both sides of the harmonic emission. This results in an overall exception interval centred at the harmonic emission of (2MHz + N x L_CRB x 180kHz), where N is 2, 3, 4, [5] for the 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th [or 5^th] harmonic respectively. The exception is allowed if the measurement bandwidth (MBW) totally or partially overlaps the overall exception interval. NOTE 3: The co-existence between 256 and band 2, 25 and 70 is subject to regional/national regulation.

NOTE: To simplify Table 6.5A.4.3-1, E-UTRA band numbers are listed for bands which are specified only for E-UTRA operation or both E-UTRA and NR operation. NR band numbers are listed for bands which are specified only for NR operation.

6.5A.4.4 Additional spurious emissions

6.5A.4.4.1 General

These requirements are specified in terms of an additional spectrum emission requirement. Additional spurious emission requirements are signalled by the network to indicate that the UE shall meet an additional requirement for a specific deployment scenario as part of the cell handover/broadcast message.

NOTE: In addition to the requirements below, additional UE region-specific emissions requirements for European are expected to be added once more information becomes available.

6.5B.3 Out of band emission for category NB1 and NB2

6.5B.3.1 General

6.5B.3.2 Spectrum emission mask

The spectrum emission mask of the category NB1 and NB2 UE applies to frequencies (Δf_OOB) starting from the ± edge of the assigned category NB1 or NB2 channel bandwidth. For frequencies greater than (Δf_OOB) as specified in Table 6.5B.3.2-1 the spurious requirements in subclause 6.5B.4 are applicable.

The power of any category NB1 or NB2 UE emission shall not exceed the levels specified in Table 6.5B.3.2-1. The spectrum emission limit between each Δf_OOB is linearly interpolated.

Table 6.5B.3.2-1: Category NB1 and NB2 UE spectrum emission mask

Δf_OOB (kHz)	Emission limit (dBm)	Measurement bandwidth
± 0	26	30 kHz
± 100	-5	30 kHz
± 150	-8	30 kHz
± 300	-29	30 kHz
± 500-1700	-35	30 kHz

6.5B.3.3 Additional Spectrum Emission Mask for category NB1 and NB2

The additional spectrum emission mask for category NB1 and NB2 is not applicable.

6.5B.3.4 Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio for category NB1 and NB2

Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio is the ratio of the filtered mean power centred on the assigned channel frequency to the filtered mean power centred on an adjacent channel frequency. The assigned category NB1or NB2 channel power and adjacent channel power are measured with filters and measurement bandwidths specified in Table 6.5B.3.4-1. If the measured adjacent channel power is greater than –50dBm then the category NB1 or NB2 UE ACLR shall be higher than the value specified in Table 6.5B.3.4-1. GSM_ACLRrequirement is intended for protection of GSM system. UTRA_ACLRrequirement is intended for protection of UTRA and E-UTRA systems.

6.5B.4 Spurious emission for category NB1 and NB2

6.5B.4.1 General

6.5B.4.2 Minimum requirements

When UE is configured for category NB1 or NB2 uplink transmissions the requirements in subclause 6.5A.4.2 apply with an exception that boundary between category NB1 or NB2 out of band and spurious emission domain shall be F_OOB = 1.7 MHz.

6.5B.4.3 Spurious emission band UE co-existence

The spurious emission band UE coexistence requirement in sub-clause 6.5.3A.3 is also applicable for NB1 and NB2 UE.

6.5B.4.4 Additional spurious emissions

6.5B.4.4.1 General

NOTE: In addition to the requirements below, additional UE region-specific emissions requirements for European are expected to be added once more information becomes available.

6.5B.4.4.2 Minimum requirement (network signalled value "NS_02N")

When "NS_02N" is indicated in the cell, the power of any UE spurious emission shall not exceed the levels specified in Table 6.5B.4.4.2-1 and 6.5B.4.4.2-2. This requirement also applies for the frequency ranges that are less than F_OOB (MHz) specified in 6.5B.4.2 from the edge of the channel bandwidth.
