6.2.2D UE Maximum Output Power for ProSe

36.521-13GPPEvolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA)Part 1: Conformance testingRadio transmission and receptionRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) conformance specification

6.2.2D.0 Minimum conformance requirements

When UE is configured for simultaneous E-UTRA ProSe sidelink and E-UTRA uplink transmissions for inter-band E-UTRA ProSe / E-UTRA bands specified in Table 5.5D-2, the UE maximum output power shall be as specified in Table 6.2.2A-0 in subclause 6.2.2A for the corresponding inter-band aggregation with uplink assigned to two bands.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 36.101 [2] clause 6.2.2D.

6.2.2D.1 UE Maximum Output Power for ProSe Discovery

Editor’s note: This test case is not complete. Following aspects are either missing or not yet determined:

– ProSe UE authentication is not handled in the test case and is still under investigation.

– Message exceptions content needs further investigation (some values still TBD).

– Test system uncertainties and test tolerances.

– Test procedure for concurrent operation with E-UTRA uplink transmissions is not defined.

6.2.2D.1.1 Test purpose

To verify that the error of the UE maximum output power does not exceed the range prescribed by the specific maximum output power and tolerance when operating in ProSe Discovery mode non-concurrent with E-UTRA uplink transmissions.

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.

6.2.2D.1.2 Test applicability

This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 12 and forward which supports ProSe Direct Discovery.

6.2.2D.1.3 Minimum Conformance requirements

The minimum conformance requirements are defined in clause 6.2.2D.0.

6.2.2D.1.4 Test description

6.2.2D.1.4.1 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 6.2.2D.1.4.1-1. The details of the uplink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annexes A.2. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2.

1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure A.67.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.4.3. Message content exceptions are defined in clause 6.2.2D.1.4.3.

3. Downlink signals are initially set up according to Annex C0, C.1 and C.3.1, and uplink signals according to Annex H.1 and H.3.1.

4. The UL and DL Reference Measurement channels are set according to Table 6.2.2D.1.4.1-1.

5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0.

6. Ensure the UE is in State 2A-RF according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.1A. Message content exceptions are defined in clause 6.2.2D.1.4.3.

7. SS continues with the generic procedures described in TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.5.3A.3 and 4.5.4.3 and ensures the UE is in State 4 according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.5.4 and the UE test loop Mode D is closed and UE is set to announce discovery.

6.2.2D.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS shall transmit an RRCConnectionReconfiguration message to configure DRX. Message contents exceptions (only those marked with “…Step 1…” ) are defined in clause 6.2.2D.1.4.3.

2. The UE shall transmit RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete message.

3. Measure the mean 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).

6.2.2D.1.4.3 Message contents

Message contents are according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.6.
