When UE is configured for E-UTRA V2X sidelink transmissions non-concurrent with E-UTRA uplink transmissions for E-UTRA V2X operating bands specified in Table 5.2G-1, the allowed V2X UE maximum output power for shall be as applied in Table 6.2.2.3-1 in subclause 6.2.2.

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

6.2.2G.1.4 Test description
6.2.2G.1.4.1 Initial conditions

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 5.4.2G.1-1. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each channel bandwidth, and are shown in table 6.2.2G.1.4.1-1. The details of the V2X reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annex A.8.3 and the GNSS configuration in TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.11.

Table 6.2.2G.1.4.1-1: Test Configuration Table

NOTE: No test points are defined since there is no configuration satisfying MPR=0dB requirements in RAN4.

1. Connect the SS and GNSS simulator to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure A.92.

2. The parameter settings for the V2X sidelink transmission over PC5 are pre-configured according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.10.1. Message content exceptions are defined in clause 6.2.2G.1.4.3.

3. The V2X reference measurement channel is set according to Table 6.2.2G.1.4.1-1.

4. The GNSS simulator is configured for Scenario #1: static in Geographical area #1, as defined in TS36.508 [7] Table 4.11.2-2. Geographical area #1 is also pre-configured in the UE.

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

6. Ensure the UE is in State 5A-V2X in Transmit Mode according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.5.9.

7. The GNSS simulator is triggered to start step 1 of Scenario #1 to simulate a location in the centre of Geographical area #1. Wait for the UE to acquire the GNSS signal and start to transmit.

6.2.2G.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. The UE starts to perform the V2X sidelink communication according to SL-V2X-Preconfiguration. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the V2X RMC.

2. Measure the mean power of the UE in the channel bandwidth for each test point in table 6.2.2G.1.5-1 according to the test configuration from Table 6.2.2G.1.4.1-1. The period of measurement shall be at least continuous duration of one sub-frame (1ms).
