6.2.3_2 Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for Multi-Cluster PUSCH

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

6.2.3_2.1 Test purpose

To verify that the error of the UE maximum output power does not exceed the range prescribed by the specified maximum output power with MPR and tolerance when operating in multi-cluster PUSCH scenarios.

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.

6.2.3_2.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply in test cases 6.6.2.3_2 Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio to all types of E-UTRA UE release 10 and forward that support multi cluster PUSCH within a component carrier for the tested band but do not support UL 64QAM or UL 256QAM.

NOTE: As a result TC 6.2.3_2 has not been included in the test case applicability table 4.1-1, TS 36.521-2. This does not preclude the test from being used for R&D or other purposes if deemed useful.

6.2.3_2.3 Minimum conformance requirements

For UE Power Class 3, the allowed Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for the maximum output power in table 6.2.2-1 due to multi-cluster PUSCH, is specified as follows:

MPR = CEIL {MA, 0.5}

Where MA is defined as follows

MA = 8.00-10.12A; 0.00< A ≤ 0.33

5.67 – 3.07A; 0.33< A ≤0.77

3.31; 0.77< A ≤1.00

Where

A = NRB_alloc / NRB.

CEIL{MA, 0.5} means rounding upwards to closest 0.5dB, i.e. MPR  [3.0, 3.5 4.0 4.5 5.0 5.5 6.0 6.5 7.0 7.5 8.0]

For the UE maximum output power modified by MPR, the power limits specified in clause 6.2.5.3 apply.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 36.101 clause 6.2.3.

6.2.3_2.4 Test description

6.2.3_2.4.1 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 clause 5.4.2.1. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each channel bandwidth, and are shown in table 6.2.3_2.4.1-1. 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.

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.

1. Connect the SS and interfering sources to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A Figure A.3.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 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 channels are set according to Table 6.2.3_2.4.1-1.

5. Ensure the UE is in State 3A-RF according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.2. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2.3_2.4.3.

6.2.3_2.4.2 Test procedure

1. 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 6.2.3_2.4.1-1. 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 the uplink scheduling information to the UE to ensure that the UE transmits at PUMAX level.

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 one sub-frame (1ms). For TDD slots with transient periods are not under test.

6.2.3_2.4.3 Message contents

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

6.2.3_2.5 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 6.2.3_2.5-1.

Note 1: 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 2: For the UE maximum output power modified by MPR, the power limits specified in Table 6.2.5.3-1 apply
