6.2.3_4 Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for Multi-Cluster PUSCH with UL 64QAM

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

Editor’s note: For a transition period until RAN5#83, this test case in version 15.3.1 of 36.521-1 shall be used. This is to ensure no test coverage is lost before the UL 256QAM test case becomes available.

6.2.3_4.1 Test purpose

Same test purpose as in clause 6.2.3_2.

6.2.3_4.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply in test cases 6.6.2.3_4 Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio to E-UTRA UE from release 13 and forward that support UL 64QAM and multi cluster PUSCH within a component carrier for the tested band but do not support UL 256QAM.

NOTE: As a result TC 6.2.3_4 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_4.3 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_4.4 Test description

6.2.3_4.4.1 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_4.4.1-1. 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_4.4.1-1.

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_4.4.3.

6.2.3_4.4.2 Test procedure

Same test procedure as in clause 6.2.3_2.4.2

– Instead of Table 6.2.3_2.4.1-1 🡪 use Table 6.2.3_4.4.1-1

6.2.3_4.4.3 Message contents

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

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
