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 6.2.2.3-1:
– The 1 RB allocation shall be tested at RB#0 for low and mid range, RB #max for high range test frequency.
– The RBstart 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 6.2.2.3-1:
– 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 # and RB #max.
– For non-1RB allocation, test frequency is middle range, and the RBstart shall be RB #0.

6.2.2E.4.2 Test procedure

Same test procedure as in clause 6.2.2.4.2 with the following exception for HD-FDD:

– In step 3, slots with transient periods are not under test. Half-duplex guard subframes are not under test.

6.2.2E.4.3 Message contents

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

6.2.2E.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 6.2.2E.5-1.

Note 1: The above tolerances are applicable for UE(s) that support up to 4 E-UTRA operating bands. For UE(s) that support 5 or more E-UTRA bands the maximum output power is expected to decrease with each additional band and is FFS

Note 2: For transmission bandwidths (Figure 5.4.2-1, Table 5.4.4-1) 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 the UE which supports both Band 11 and Band 21 operating frequencies, the tolerance is FFS.

Note 5: When NS_20 is signalled, the total output power within 2000-2005 MHz shall be limited to 7 dBm.

Note 6: 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 1.5dB for transmission bandwidths confined within 815 MHz and 818 MHz.
