36.521-13GPPEvolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA)Part 1: Conformance testingRadio transmission and receptionRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) conformance specification
6.2.2A.0 Minimum conformance requirements
The following UE Power Classes define the maximum output power for any transmission bandwidth within the aggregated channel bandwidth.
The maximum output power is measured as the sum of the maximum output power at each UE antenna connector. The period of measurement shall be at least one sub frame (1ms).
For inter-band carrier aggregation with uplink assigned to one E-UTRA band the requirements in subclause 6.2.2 apply.
For inter-band carrier aggregation with uplink assigned to two E-UTRA bands, UE maximum output power shall be measured over all component carriers from different bands. If each band has separate antenna connectors, maximum output power is measured as the sum of maximum output power at each UE antenna connector. The maximum output power is specified in Table 6.2.2A.0-1.

||||||||
For intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation with one uplink carrier on the PCC, the requirements in subclause 6.2.2 apply.
The normative reference for this requirement is in TS 36.101 [2] clause 6.2.2A.
NOTE 1: Non-contiguous Uplink CA has no test coverage as the UE power class requirements (MPR=0dB) cannot be verified for the intra-band non-contiguous UL CA case due to the MPR is always bigger than 0 dB in current non-contiguous Uplink CA configurations according to Table 5.4.2A.1-3.
NOTE 2: Uplink LAA has no test coverage as the UE power class requirements (MPR=0dB) cannot be verified due to the MPR is always bigger than 0 dB according to clause 6.2.3A.2.3.
6.2.2A.1 UE Maximum Output Power for CA (intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA)
6.2.2A.1.1 Test purpose
To verify that the error of UE maximum output power in intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation does not exceed the range prescribed by the specified CA Power Class and tolerance.
An excess maximum output power has the possibility to interfere to other channels or other systems. A small maximum output power decreases the coverage area.
6.2.2A.1.2 Test applicability
This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 10 and forward that support intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA.
6.2.2A.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements
The minimum conformance requirements are defined in clause 6.2.2A.0.
6.2.2A.1.4 Test description
6.2.2A.1.4.1 Initial conditions

Note 1: CA Configuration Test CC Combination settings are checked separately for each CA Configuration, which applicable aggregated channel bandwidths are specified in Table 5.4.2A.1-1 Note 2: If the UE supports multiple CC Combinations in the CA Configuration with the same NRB_agg , only the combination with the highest NRB_PCC is tested. |
||||||||
1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A Figure group A.32 as appropriate.
2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.4.3.
3. Downlink signals for PCC are initially set up according to Annex C.0, C.1, and C.3.0, and uplink signals according to Annex H.1 and H.3.0.
4. The UL Reference Measurement channel is set according to Table 6.2.2A.1.4.1-1.
5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0.
6. Ensure the UE is in State 3A-RF according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.2. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2.2A.1.4.3.
6.2.2A.1.4.2 Test procedure
1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.0 for all downlink physical channels.
2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2.2A.1.4.3.
3. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC-CE (Refer TS 36.321 [13], clauses 5.13, 6.1.3.8). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 36.133, clauses 8.3.3.2).
4. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.2.2A.1.4.1-1 on both PCC and SCC. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.
5. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE; allow at least 200ms for the UE to reach PUMAX level.
6. Measure the mean transmitted power over all component carriers in the CA configuration of the radio access mode. The period of measurement shall be at least the continuous duration of one sub-frame (1ms). For TDD slots with transient periods are not under test.
6.2.2A.1.4.3 Message contents
Message contents are according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.6. In test procedure step 2, for SCC configuration there are no additional message contents.
6.2.2A.1.5 Test Requirements
The maximum output power for the CA configuration, derived in step 6 shall be within the range prescribed by the CA UE Power Class and tolerance in Table 6.2.2A.1.5-1.

Note 1: Void Note 2: For transmission bandwidths (Figure 5.4.2-1) confined within FUL_low and FUL_low + 4 MHz or FUL_high – 4 MHz and FUL_high, the maximum output power requirement is relaxed by reducing the lower tolerance limit by 1.5 dB Note 3: PPowerClass is the maximum UE power specified without taking into account the tolerance Note 4: For intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation the maximum power requirement should apply to the total transmitted power over all component carriers (per UE). Note 5: Lower limit is assuming ΔTC,c and ΔTIB,c are zero. If non-zero, PCMAX,c will decrease and T(PCMAX_L,c) may be higher resulting in different test requirements according to Table 6.2.5A.1.3-1. |
||||||||
For the UE which supports inter-band carrier aggregation configurations with uplink assigned to one E-UTRA band the ΔTIB,c in Tables 6.2.5.3-2, 6.2.5.3-3 and 6.2.5.3-4 shall be applied for applicable bands.
In case the UE supports more than one of the above inter-band carrier aggregation configurations and an E-UTRA operating band belongs to more than one inter-band carrier aggregation configurations then:
– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is ≤ 1GHz, the applicable additional tolerance shall be the average of the tolerances in Table 6.2.5.3-2, truncated to one decimal place for that operating band among the supported CA configurations. In case there is a harmonic relation between low band UL and high band DL, then the maximum tolerance among the different supported carrier aggregation configurations involving such band shall be applied
– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is >1GHz, the applicable additional tolerance shall be the maximum tolerance in Table 6.2.5.3-2 that applies for that operating band among the supported CA configurations.

NOTE 1: Void. NOTE 2: 2 refers to the transmission bandwidths (Figure 5.4.2-1) confined within FUL_low and FUL_low + 4 MHz or FUL_high – 4 MHz and FUL_high, the maximum output power requirement is relaxed by reducing the lower tolerance limit by 1.5 dB. NOTE 3: PPowerClass is the maximum UE power specified without taking into account the tolerance. NOTE 4: For inter-band carrier aggregation the maximum power requirement should apply to the total transmitted power over all component carriers (per UE). NOTE 5: For a UE that supports both Band 18 and Band 26, the maximum output power requirement is relaxed by reducing the lower tolerance limit by 1.5 dB for transmission bandwidths confined within 815 MHz and 818 MHz. |
||||||||
For the UE which supports inter-band carrier aggregation configurations with uplink assigned to one E-UTRA band the ΔTIB,c in Table 6.2.5.3-2 shall be applied for applicable bands. For the UE which supports an inter-band carrier aggregation configuration from Table 6.2.5.3-3 the ΔTIB,c in Table 6.2.5.3-3 shall be applied for applicable bands.
In case the UE supports more than one of the above inter-band carrier aggregation configurations and an E-UTRA operating band belongs to more than one inter-band carrier aggregation configurations then:
– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is ≤ 1GHz, the applicable additional tolerance shall be the average of the tolerances in Table 6.2.5.3-2, truncated to one decimal place for that operating band among the supported CA configurations. In case there is a harmonic relation between low band UL and high band DL, then the maximum tolerance among the different supported carrier aggregation configurations involving such band shall be applied
– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is >1GHz, the applicable additional tolerance shall be the maximum tolerance in Table 6.2.5.3-2 that applies for that operating band among the supported CA configurations.
In case the UE supports more than one of the inter-band carrier aggregation configurations from Table 6.2.5.3-3 and an E-UTRA operating band belongs to more than one inter-band carrier aggregation configurations then:
– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is ≤ 1GHz and the tolerances are the same, the value applies to the band. If the tolerances are different, the applicable additional 3DL tolerance is FFS. In case there is a harmonic relation between low band UL and high band DL, then the maximum tolerance among the different supported 3DL carrier aggregation configurations involving such band shall be applied.
– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is >1GHz, the applicable additional 3DL tolerance shall be the maximum tolerance above that applies for that operating band among the supported 3DL CA configurations.
6.2.2A.3 UE Maximum Output Power for CA (intra-band non-contiguous DL CA and UL CA)
NOTE: No test case details specified as the UE power class requirements (MPR=0dB) cannot be verified for the intra-band non-contiguous UL CA case due to the MPR is always bigger than 0 dB in current non-contiguous Uplink CA configurations according to Table 5.4.2A.1-3.
6.2.2A.4 UE Maximum Output Power for CA (3UL CA)
Editor’s Note: This test case is incomplete. The following items are missing or are incomplete:
There is no intra-band non-contiguous combination for CA (3UL CA)
6.2.2A.4.1 Test purpose
To verify that the error of UE maximum output power in three uplink carrier aggregation does not exceed the range prescribed by the specified CA Power Class and tolerance.
An excess maximum output power has the possibility to interfere to other channels or other systems. A small maximum output power decreases the coverage area.
6.2.2A.4.2 Test applicability
This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 13 and forward that support intra-band contiguous or inter-band and 3UL CA.
6.2.2A.4.3 Minimum conformance requirements
The minimum conformance requirements are defined in clause 6.2.2A.0.
6.2.2A.4.4 Test description
6.2.2A.4.4.1 Initial conditions
Initial conditions are a set of test configurations the UE needs to be set up and the steps for the SS to take with the UE to reach the correct measurement state.
The initial test configurations consist of environmental conditions, test frequencies, and CC combinations based on E‑UTRA CA configurations specified in table 5.4.2A.1-1. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each CA Configuration, and are shown in table 6.2.2A.4.4.1-1 to 6.2.2A.4.4.1-2. The details of the uplink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annexe A.2. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2.

Note 1: CA Configuration Test CC Combination settings are checked separately for each CA Configuration, which applicable aggregated channel bandwidths are specified in Table 5.4.2A.1-2. Note 2: If the UE supports multiple CC Combinations in the CA Configuration with the same NRB_agg , only the combination with the highest NRB_PCC is tested. Note 3: For Low range use only test points with RBstart=0. For High range use only test points with RBstart=RBend-LCRB+1. Note 4: No additional test points need to be tested for LAA Scell configured in Band 46 since all the test configurations require MPR. |
|||||||||
1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508[7] Annex A Figure group A.55 as appropriate.
2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.4.3.
3. Downlink signals for PCC are initially set up according to Annex C.0, C.1, and C.3.0, and uplink signals according to Annex H.1 and H.3.0.
4. The UL Reference Measurement channel is set according to Table 6.2.2A.4.4.1-1 to 6.2.2A.4.4.1-2.
5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0.
6. Ensure the UE is in State 3A-RF according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.2. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2.2A.4.4.3.
6.2.2A.4.4.2 Test procedure
1. Configure SCCs according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.0 for all downlink physical channels.
2. The SS shall configure SCCs as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2.2A.4.4.3.
3. SS activates SCCs by sending the activation MAC-CE (Refer TS 36.321 [13], clauses 5.13, 6.1.3.8). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 36.133, clauses 8.3.3.2).
4. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.2.2A.4.4.1-1 to 6.2.2A.4.4.1-2 on both PCC and SCC. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.
5. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE; allow at least 200ms for the UE to reach PUMAX level.
6. Measure the mean transmitted power over all component carriers in the CA configuration of the radio access mode. The period of measurement shall be at least the continuous duration of one sub-frame (1ms). For TDD slots with transient periods are not under test.
6.2.2A.4.4.3 Message contents
Message contents are according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.6. In test procedure step 2, for SCCs configuration there are no additional message contents.
6.2.2A.4.5 Test Requirements
The maximum output power for the CA configuration, derived in step 6 shall be within the range prescribed by the CA UE Power Class and tolerance in Table 6.2.2A.4.5-1 for Intra band 3UL CA configuration and Table 6.2.2A.4.5-2 for inter band 3 UL CA configuration.

Note 1: PPowerClass is the maximum UE power specified without taking into account the tolerance Note 2: For intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation the maximum power requirement should apply to the total transmitted power over all component carriers (per UE). Note 3: Lower limit is assuming ΔTC,c and ΔTIB,c are zero. If non-zero, PCMAX,c will decrease and T(PCMAX_L,c) may be higher resulting in different test requirements according to Table 6.2.5A.1.3-1. |

NOTE 1: Refers to the transmission bandwidths ( Figure 5.4.2-1) confined within FUL_low and FUL_low + 4 MHz or FUL_high – 4 MHz and FUL_high, the maximum output power requirement is relaxed by reducing the lower tolerance limit by 1.5 dB. NOTE 2: PPowerClass is the maximum UE power specified without taking into account the tolerance. NOTE 3: For inter-band carrier aggregation the maximum power requirement should apply to the total transmitted power over all component carriers (per UE). |

For the UE which supports intra-band carrier aggregation configurations with uplink assigned to one E-UTRA band the ΔTIB,c in Tables 6.2.5.3-2, 6.2.5.3-3 and 6.2.5.3-4 shall be applied for applicable bands.
In case the UE supports more than one of the above intra band carrier aggregation configurations and an E-UTRA operating band belongs to more than one inter-band carrier aggregation configurations then:
– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is ≤ 1GHz, the applicable additional tolerance shall be the average of the tolerances in Table 6.2.5.3-2, truncated to one decimal place for that operating band among the supported CA configurations. In case there is a harmonic relation between low band UL and high band DL, then the maximum tolerance among the different supported carrier aggregation configurations involving such band shall be applied
– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is >1GHz, the applicable additional tolerance shall be the maximum tolerance in Table 6.2.5.3-2 that applies for that operating band among the supported CA configurations.
For the UE which supports inter-band carrier aggregation configurations with uplink assigned to one E-UTRA band the ΔTIB,c in Table 6.2.5.3-2 shall be applied for applicable bands. For the UE which supports an inter-band carrier aggregation configuration from Table 6.2.5.3-3 the ΔTIB,c in Table 6.2.5.3-3 shall be applied for applicable bands.
In case the UE supports more than one of the above inter-band carrier aggregation configurations and an E-UTRA operating band belongs to more than one inter-band carrier aggregation configurations then:
– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is ≤ 1GHz, the applicable additional tolerance shall be the average of the tolerances in Table 6.2.5.3-2, truncated to one decimal place for that operating band among the supported CA configurations. In case there is a harmonic relation between low band UL and high band DL, then the maximum tolerance among the different supported carrier aggregation configurations involving such band shall be applied
– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is >1GHz, the applicable additional tolerance shall be the maximum tolerance in Table 6.2.5.3-2 that applies for that operating band among the supported CA configurations.
In case the UE supports more than one of the inter-band carrier aggregation configurations from Table 6.2.5.3-3 and an E-UTRA operating band belongs to more than one inter-band carrier aggregation configurations then:
– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is ≤ 1GHz and the tolerances are the same, the value applies to the band. If the tolerances are different, the applicable additional 3DL tolerance is FFS. In case there is a harmonic relation between low band UL and high band DL, then the maximum tolerance among the different supported 3DL carrier aggregation configurations involving such band shall be applied.
– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is >1GHz, the applicable additional 3DL tolerance shall be the maximum tolerance above that applies for that operating band among the supported 3DL CA configurations.

6.2.2A.5 UE Maximum Output Power for CA (4UL CA)
Editor’s Note: This test case is incomplete. The following items are missing or are incomplete:
There is no intra-band combination for CA (4UL CA)
6.2.2A.5.1 Test purpose
To verify that the error of UE maximum output power in four uplink carrier aggregation does not exceed the range prescribed by the specified CA Power Class and tolerance.
An excess maximum output power has the possibility to interfere to other channels or other systems. A small maximum output power decreases the coverage area.
6.2.2A.5.2 Test applicability
This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 11 and forward that support inter-band and 4UL CA.
6.2.2A.5.3 Minimum conformance requirements
The minimum conformance requirements are defined in clause 6.2.2A.0.
6.2.2A.5.4 Test description
6.2.2A.5.4.1 Initial conditions
Initial conditions are a set of test configurations the UE needs to be set up and the steps for the SS to take with the UE to reach the correct measurement state.
The initial test configurations consist of environmental conditions, test frequencies, and CC combinations based on E‑UTRA CA configurations specified in table 5.4.2A.1-1 and 5.4.2A.1-2. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each CA Configuration, and are shown in table 6.2.2A.5.4.1-1. The details of the uplink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annexe A.2. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2.

Note 1: CA Configuration Test CC Combination settings are checked separately for each CA Configuration, which applicable aggregated channel bandwidths are specified in Table 5.4.2A.1-2. Note 2: If the UE supports multiple CC Combinations in the CA Configuration with the same NRB_agg , only the combination with the highest NRB_PCC is tested. Note 3: For Low range use only test points with RBstart=0. For High range use only test points with RBstart=RBmax-LCRB+1. |
||||||||
1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508[7] Annex A Figure group A.55 as appropriate.
2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.4.3.
3. Downlink signals for PCC are initially set up according to Annex C.0, C.1, and C.3.0, and uplink signals according to Annex H.1 and H.3.0.
4. The UL Reference Measurement channel is set according to Table 6.2.2A.5.4.1-1.
5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0.
6. Ensure the UE is in State 3A-RF according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.2. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2.2A.5.4.3.
6.2.2A.5.4.2 Test procedure
1. Configure SCCs according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.0 for all downlink physical channels.
2. The SS shall configure SCCs as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2.2A.5.4.3.
3. SS activates SCCs by sending the activation MAC-CE (Refer TS 36.321 [13], clauses 5.13, 6.1.3.8). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 36.133, clauses 8.3.3.2).
4. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.2.2A.5.4.1-1 on both PCC and SCCs. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.
5. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE; allow at least 200ms for the UE to reach PUMAX level.
6. Measure the mean transmitted power over all component carriers in the CA configuration of the radio access mode. The period of measurement shall be at least the continuous duration of one sub-frame (1ms). For TDD slots with transient periods are not under test.
6.2.2A.5.4.3 Message contents
Message contents are according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.6. In test procedure step 2, for SCCs configuration there are no additional message contents.
6.2.2A.5.5 Test Requirements
The maximum output power for the CA configuration, derived in step 6 shall be within the range prescribed by the CA UE Power Class and tolerance in Table 6.2.2A.5.5-1 for inter band 4 UL CA configuration.

NOTE 1: PPowerClass is the maximum UE power specified without taking into account the tolerance. NOTE 2: For inter-band carrier aggregation the maximum power requirement should apply to the total transmitted power over all component carriers (per UE). |
||||||||
For the UE which supports inter-band carrier aggregation configurations with uplink assigned to one E-UTRA band the ΔTIB,c in Table 6.2.5.3-2 shall be applied for applicable bands. For the UE which supports an inter-band carrier aggregation configuration from Table 6.2.5.3-3 the ΔTIB,c in Table 6.2.5.3-3 shall be applied for applicable bands.
In case the UE supports more than one of the above inter-band carrier aggregation configurations and an E-UTRA operating band belongs to more than one inter-band carrier aggregation configurations then:
– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is ≤ 1GHz, the applicable additional tolerance shall be the average of the tolerances in Table 6.2.5.3-2, truncated to one decimal place for that operating band among the supported CA configurations. In case there is a harmonic relation between low band UL and high band DL, then the maximum tolerance among the different supported carrier aggregation configurations involving such band shall be applied
– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is >1GHz, the applicable additional tolerance shall be the maximum tolerance in Table 6.2.5.3-2 that applies for that operating band among the supported CA configurations.
In case the UE supports more than one of the inter-band carrier aggregation configurations from Table 6.2.5.3-3 and an E-UTRA operating band belongs to more than one inter-band carrier aggregation configurations then:
– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is ≤ 1GHz and the tolerances are the same, the value applies to the band. If the tolerances are different, the applicable additional 4DL tolerance is FFS. In case there is a harmonic relation between low band UL and high band DL, then the maximum tolerance among the different supported 4DL carrier aggregation configurations involving such band shall be applied.
– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is >1GHz, the applicable additional 4DL tolerance shall be the maximum tolerance above that applies for that operating band among the supported 4DL CA configurations.
