6.2.2B UE Maximum Output Power for UL-MIMO
36.521-13GPPEvolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA)Part 1: Conformance testingRadio transmission and receptionRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) conformance specification
6.2.2B.1 Test purpose
To verify that the error of UE maximum output power in UL MIMO does not exceed the range prescribed by the specified UL MIMO 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.
6.2.2B.2 Test applicability
This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA Power Class 3 UE release 10 and forward that support UL MIMO.
6.2.2B.3 Minimum conformance requirements
For UE with two transmit antenna connectors in closed-loop spatial multiplexing scheme, the maximum output power for any transmission bandwidth within the channel bandwidth is specified in Table 6.2.2B.3-1 with the UL-MIMO configurations specified in Table 6.2.2B.3-2. 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).

6.2.2B.4 Test description
6.2.2B.4.1 Initial condition
Initial conditions are a set of test configurations the UE needs to be tested in 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 channel bandwidths based on E-UTRA operating bands specified in table 5.4.2.1-1. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each channel bandwidth, and are shown in table 6.2.2B.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: Test Channel Bandwidths are checked separately for each E-UTRA band, the applicable channel bandwidths are specified in Table 5.4.2.1-1. Note 2: For E-UTRA bands not applied with Note 2 in Table 6.2.2B.3-1: – The 1 RB allocation shall be tested at RB#0 for low and mid range, RB #max for high range test frequency. – The starting resource block of non-1RB allocation shall be RB #0 for low and mid range, RB# (max +1 – RB allocation) for high range test frequency. Note 3: For E-UTRA bands applied with Note 2 in Table 6.2.2B.3-1: – If the test channel bandwidth is larger than 4MHz, then the 1 RB allocation shall be tested at both RB #0 and RB #max. – If the test channel bandwidth is smaller or equal to 4MHz, then the 1 RB allocation shall be tested at RB #0. – If the test channel bandwidth = (FUL_high – FUL_low) specified by the operating band, then only one frequency range shall be tested and the 1 RB allocation shall be tested at RB #0, RB # – For non-1RB allocation, test frequency is middle range, and the starting resource block shall be RB #0. |

and RB #max.1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A Figure A.28.
2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.4.3.
3. Downlink signals 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 6.2.2B.4.1-1.
5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0.
6. Ensure the UE is in State 3A-RFaccording to TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.2. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2.2B.4.3.
6.2.2B.4.2 Test procedure
1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 4 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.2.2B.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.
2. 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.
3. Measure the mean sum power of the UE in the channel bandwidth 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.
6.2.2B.4.3 Message contents
Message contents are according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.6.
6.2.2B.5 Test requirements
The maximum output power, derived in step 3 shall be within the range prescribed by the nominal maximum output power and tolerance in Table 6.2.2B.5-1.

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.
