8.2 NB-IoT Test environment for RF test
36.5083GPPCommon test environments for User Equipment (UE) conformance testingEvolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) and Evolved Packet Core (EPC)Release 17TS
This section contains all the exceptions of the NB-IoT common test parameters specified in clause 8.1 for specific needs of test cases defined in TS 36.521-1 [21]. Exceptions specified in clause 8.2 overwrite the parameter settings of clause 8.1; exceptions defined within the test cases overwrite parameter settings of clause 8.1 and 8.2.
8.2.1 NB-IoT Requirements of test equipment
No NB-IoT common RF test environment requirements are specified in addition to the NB-IoT common requirements described in clause 8.1.2. Specific RF requirements are indicated within the test cases defined in TS 36.521-1 [21].
8.2.2 NB-IoT RF Reference system configurations
8.2.2.1 NB-IoT Common parameters for simulated E-UTRA cells
8.2.2.1.1 NB-IoT Combinations of system information blocks
The NB-IoT combination of system information blocks required by a test case depends on the test case scenario. In clause 8.1.4 of this document, the NB-IoT combinations of system information blocks are defined.
Combination 1, defined in clause 8.1.4, is used by default in test cases defined in TS 36.521-1 [21].
8.2.2.1.2 NB-IoT Scheduling of system information blocks
Same NB-IoT scheduling of system information blocks as defined in clause 8.1.4.3.1.2.
8.2.2.1.3 NB-IoT Common contents of system information messages
MasterInformationBlock-NB
As defined in Table 8.1.4.3.2-1.
SystemInformation-NB
As defined in Table 8.1.4.3.2-2 without exceptions.
SystemInformationBlockType1-NB
As defined in Table 8.1.4.3.2-3 without exceptions.
SystemInformationBlockType2-NB
As defined in Table 8.1.4.3.3-1 without exceptions.
8.2.2A NB-IoT Generic RF procedures
The NB-IoT UE test state used for testing is specified in the individual test cases in the corresponding test specification TS 36.521-1 [21] or TS 36.521-3 [34].
RF NB-IoT UE test states are covered by common NB-IoT UE test states defined in clause 8.1.5 of this document.
8.2.3 NB-IoT Default RRC message and information elements contents
8.2.3.1 NB-IoT Radio resource control information elements
As defined in clause 8.1.6.3 with the following exceptions.
