36.5083GPPCommon test environments for User Equipment (UE) conformance testingEvolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) and Evolved Packet Core (EPC)Release 17TS
NOTE: For NAS test cases see subclause 6.3.2.
NOTE: Test frequency and range defined in table 4.4.2-1 do not apply to 36.521-1 test cases.
Test frequencies and simulated cells are defined in table 4.4.2-1. For E-UTRA cells, f1 is the default test frequency. For UTRA cells, f8 is the default test frequency. For GERAN cells, f11 is the default test frequency. For CDMA2000 HRPD cells, f14 is the default test frequency. For CDMA 2000 1xRTT cells, f17 is the default test frequency. For WLAN cells, f20 is the default test frequency.
Default parameters for simulated cells are specified in table 4.4.2-1A and table 4.4.2-2.
Common parameters for simulated cells are specified in subclauses 4.4.3 to 4.4.6A.
Other cell specific parameters are specified in subclause 4.4.7.

Note 1: For signalling test, see clause 6.2.3. Note 2: See TS 34.108 [5] clause 5.1. Note 3: For signalling test, see clause 6.3.1.4. For RRM test, see clause 7.2.2.1. Note 4: For signalling test, simultaneous co-existence of Cell 2 with Cell 11 is not allowed. Note 5: For RRM test with intra-band contiguous CA, the set of contiguous component carriers are “Mid”, with the test frequencies specified in clauses 4.3.1.1.xA for FDD and 4.3.1.2.xA for TDD Note 6: For RRM test with intra-band contiguous CA, the set of contiguous component carriers are “High”, with the test frequencies specified in clauses 4.3.1.1.xA for FDD and 4.3.1.2.xA for TDD Note 7: For RRM test with intra-band contiguous CA, the set of contiguous component carriers are “Low”, with the test frequencies specified in clauses 4.3.1.1.xA for FDD and 4.3.1.2.xA for TDD. Note 8: For RRM test with intra-band non-contiguous CA, the test frequencies for the set of non-contiguous component carriers are specified in clauses 4.3.1.1.xA for FDD and 4.3.1.2.xA for TDD without any regard to range. Thus “Low”, “Mid” and “High” information in this table does not apply. Unless otherwise stated, test point with maximum Wgap is chosen. Note 9: For signalling test with band combination E-UTRA band 25 or EUTRA band 2 and HRPD/1xRTT band Class 1, F14 is ‘low’ and F16 is ‘Mid’. Note 10: For RRM IncMon Test Cases. |
