6.2.3A.1 Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for CA (intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA)

6.2.3A.1.1 Test purpose

The number of RB identified in Table 6.2.3A.1.3-1 is based on meeting the requirements for Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR) for CA and the maximum power reduction (MPR) for intra-band contiguous CA Bandwidth Class C due to Cubic Metric (CM).

6.2.3A.1.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.2.3A.1 Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR) for CA to all types of E-UTRA UE release 10 and forward that support intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA.

NOTE: As a result TC 6.2.3A.1 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.

6.2.3A.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements

For intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation the allowed Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for the maximum output power in Table 6.2.2A.0-2 due to higher order modulation and contiguously aggregated transmit bandwidth configuration (resource blocks) is specified in Table 6.2.3A.1.3-1 for UE power class 3 CA bandwidth classes B and C. In case the modulation format is different on different component carriers then the MPR is determined by the rules applied to higher order of those modulations.

Table 6.2.3A.1.3-1: Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for Power Class 3

Modulation	CA bandwidth Class B and C / Smallest Component Carrier Transmission Bandwidth Configuration				MPR (dB)
Modulation	25 RB	50 RB	75 RB	100 RB	MPR (dB)
QPSK	> 8 and ≤ 25	> 12 and ≤ 50	> 16 and ≤ 75	> 18 and ≤ 100	≤ 1
QPSK	> 25	> 50	> 75	> 100	≤ 2
16 QAM	≤ 8	≤ 12	≤ 16	≤ 18	≤ 1
16 QAM	> 8 and ≤ 25	> 12 and ≤ 50	> 16 and ≤ 75	> 18 and ≤ 100	≤ 2
16 QAM	> 25	> 50	> 75	> 100	≤ 3

For PUCCH and SRS transmission, the allowed MPR is according to that specified for PUSCH QPSK modulation for the corresponding transmission bandwidth.

For UE power class 3 intra-band contiguous CA Bandwidth Class C with non-contiguous resource allocation, the allowed Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for the maximum output power in Table 6.2.2A.0-2 is specified as follows:

MPR = CEIL { min(M_A, M_IM5)_, 0.5}

Where M_Ais defined as follows QPSK, 16 QAM and 64 QAM:

M_A = 8.2; 0 ≤ A < 0.025

9.2 – 40A; 0.025 ≤ A < 0.05

8 – 16A; 0.05 ≤ A < 0.25

4.83 – 3.33A; 0.25 ≤ A ≤ 0.4

3.83 – 0.83A; 0.4 ≤ A ≤ 1

and M_IM5is defined as follows

M_IM5 = 4.5 ; _IM5 < 1.5 * BW_{Channel_CA}

6.0 ; 1.5 * BW_{Channel_CA} ≤ _IM5 < BW_{Channel_CA}/2 + F_OOB

M_A ; _IM5 ≥ BW_{Channel_CA}/2 + F_OOB

For UE power class 3 intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation bandwidth class B with non-contiguous resource allocation, the allowed Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for the maximum output power in Table 6.2.2A.0-2 is specified as follows

MPR = CEIL { M_A, 0.5}

Where M_Ais defined as follows:

M_A = 10.5 – 17.5A ; 0 ≤ A < 0.2

8.5 – 7.5A ; 0.2 ≤ A < 0.6

5.5 – 2.5A ; 0.6 ≤ A ≤ 1

Where

A = N_{RB_alloc} / N_{RB_agg.}

_IM5 = max( | F_{C_agg}– (3*F_{agg_alloc_low} – 2*F_{agg_alloc_high}) |, | F_{C_agg} – (3*F_{agg_alloc_high} – 2*F_{agg_alloc_low}) | )

F_{C_agg}= (F_{edge_high} + F_{edge_low})/2

CEIL{M_A, 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, 8.5]

For intra-band carrier aggregation, the MPR is evaluated per slot and given by the maximum value taken over the transmission(s) on all component carriers within the slot, the maximum MPR over the two slots is then applied for the entire subframe.

For the UE maximum output power modified by MPR, the power limits specified in sub-clause 6.2.5A.1 apply.

The normative reference for this requirement is in TS 36.101 [2] clause 6.2.3A.

NOTE 1: CA Configuration Test CC Combination settings are checked separately for each CA Configuration, which applicable aggregated channel bandwidths are specified in Table 5.4.2A.1-1. NOTE 2: If the UE supports multiple CC Combinations in the CA Configuration with the same N_{RB_agg}, only the combination with the highest NRB_PCC is tested.

1. Connect the SS and interfering sources to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure group A.32 as appropriate.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.4.3.

3. Downlink signals for PCC 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 channel is set according to Table 6.2.3A.1.4.1-1.

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

6. Ensure the UE is in State 3A-RF according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.2. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2.3A.1.4.3.

6.2.3A.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1, and Annex C.3.0 for all downlink physical channels.

2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2.3A.1.4.3.

3. SS activates SCC by sending the MAC-CE according to TS 36.321 [13] clauses 5.13 and 6.1.3.8. Wait for at least 2 seconds as per TS 36.133 [4] clause 8.3.3.2.

4. 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 6.2.3A.1.4.1-1on both PCC and SCC. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

5. Send continuously uplink power control “up” commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE to ensure that the UE transmits at P_UMAXlevel.

6. Measure the mean power over all component carriers in the CA configuration 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.

6.2.3A.1.4.3 Message contents

Message contents are according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.6. In test procedure step 2, for SCC configuration there are no additional message contents.

6.2.3A.1.5 Test Requirements

The maximum output power, derived in step 2 shall be within the range prescribed by the nominal maximum output power and tolerance in Table 6.2.3A.1.5-1 or Table.6.2.3A.1.5-2, as applicable.

6.2.3A.1_1 Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for CA (intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA) for UL 64QAM

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

– Minimum conformance requirements are missing for aggregated BW 15+10 MHz.

6.2.3A.1_1.1 Test purpose

The number of RB identified in Table 6.2.3A.1_1.3-1 is based on meeting the requirements for Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR) for CA for UL 64QAM and the maximum power reduction (MPR) for intra-band contiguous CA Bandwidth Class C due to Cubic Metric (CM).

6.2.3A.1_1.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.2.3A.1_1 Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR) for CA to all types of E-UTRA UE from release 13 and forward that support intra-band contiguous DL CA, UL CA and UL 64QAM.

NOTE: As a result TC 6.2.3A.1_1 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.

6.2.3A.1_1.3 Minimum conformance requirements

For intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation the allowed Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for the maximum output power in Table 6.2.2A.0-2due to higher order modulation and contiguously aggregated transmit bandwidth configuration (resource blocks) is specified in Table 6.2.3A.1_1.3-1. In case the modulation format is different on different component carriers then the MPR is determined by the rules applied to higher order of those modulations.

Table 6.2.3A.1_1.3-1: Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for Power Class 3

Modulation	CA bandwidth Class B and C							MPR (dB)

For PUCCH and SRS transmissions, the allowed MPR is according to that specified for PUSCH QPSK modulation for the corresponding transmission bandwidth.

For intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation bandwidth class C with non-contiguous resource allocation, the allowed Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for the maximum output power in Table 6.2.2A-1 is specified as follows:

MPR = CEIL { min(M_A, M_IM5)_, 0.5}

Where M_Ais defined as follows:

M_A = 8.2 ; 0 ≤ A < 0.025

9.2 – 40A ; 0.025 ≤ A < 0.05

8 – 16A ; 0.05 ≤ A < 0.25

4.83 – 3.33A ; 0.25 ≤ A ≤ 0.4,

3.83 – 0.83A ; 0.4 ≤ A ≤ 1,

and M_IM5is defined as follows:

M_IM5 = 4.5 ; _IM5 < 1.5 * BW_{Channel_CA}

6.0 ; 1.5 * BW_{Channel_CA} ≤ _IM5 < BW_{Channel_CA}/2 + F_OOB

M_A ; _IM5 ≥ BW_{Channel_CA}/2 + F_OOB

For intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation bandwidth class B with non-contiguous resource allocation, the allowed Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for the maximum output power in Table 6.2.2A-1 is specified as follows:

MPR = CEIL { M_A, 0.5}

Where M_Ais defined as follows:

M_A = 10.5 – 17.5A ; 0 ≤ A < 0.2

8.5 – 7.5A ; 0.2 ≤ A < 0.6

5.5 – 2.5A ; 0.6 ≤ A ≤ 1

Where

A = N_{RB_alloc} / N_{RB_agg.}

_IM5 = max( | F_{C_agg} – (3*F_{agg_alloc_low} – 2*F_{agg_alloc_high}) |, | F_{C_agg} – (3*F_{agg_alloc_high} – 2*F_{agg_alloc_low}) | )

F_{C_agg}= (F_{edge_high} + F_{edge_low})/2

CEIL{M_A, 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, 8.5].

Editor’s note: The following aspects are either missing or not yet determined:

– Minimum requirement for 256 QAM is still FFS.

6.2.3A.1_3.1 Test purpose

The number of RB identified in Table 6.2.3A.1_3.3-1 is based on meeting the requirements for Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR) for CA and the maximum power reduction (MPR) for intra-band contiguous CA Bandwidth Class C due to Cubic Metric (CM).

For PUCCH and SRS transmission, the allowed MPR is according to that specified for PUSCH QPSK modulation for the corresponding transmission bandwidth.

For UE power class 2 intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation bandwidth class C with non-contiguous resource allocation, the allowed Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for the maximum output power in Table 6.2.2A.0-2 is specified as follows

MPR = CEIL { min(M_A, M_IM5)_, 0.5}

Where M_Ais defined as followsfor QPSK, 16 QAM and 64 QAM

M_A = 8.2 ; 0 ≤ A < 0.04

9.2 – 40A ; 0.04 ≤ A < 0.075

8 – 16A ; 0.075 ≤ A < 0.25

4.83 – 3.33A ; 0.25 ≤ A ≤ 0.4,

3.83 – 0.83A ; 0.4 ≤ A ≤ 1,

Where M_A is defined FFS for 256 QAM,

and M_IM5is defined as follows

M_IM5 = 5.0 ; _IM5 < 1.5 * BW_{Channel_CA}

6.0 ; 1.5 * BW_{Channel_CA} ≤ _IM5 < BW_{Channel_CA}/2 + F_OOB

M_A ; _IM5 ≥ BW_{Channel_CA}/2 + F_OOB

For the UE maximum output power modified by MPR, the power limits specified in sub-clause 6.2.5A.1_3 apply.

The normative reference for this requirement is in TS 36.101 [2] clause 6.2.3A.

6.2.3A.2 Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for CA (inter-band DL CA and UL CA)

Editor’s note: 36.905 Test point analysis doc for eLAA is pending.

6.2.3A.2.1 Test purpose

The number of RB identified in Table 6.2.3A.2.3-1 is based on meeting the requirements for Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR) for CA and Spectrum emission mask (SEM) for CA and the maximum power reduction (MPR) for inter-band CA Bandwidth Class A due to Cubic Metric (CM).

6.2.3A.2.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.2.3A.2 Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR) for CA and 6.6.2.1A.2 Spectrum emission mask (SEM) for CA to all types of E-UTRA UE release 11 and forward that support inter-band DL CA and UL CA. The requirements also apply to all types of E-UTRA UE release 14 and forward that support uplink LAA.

NOTE: As a result TC 6.2.3A.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.

6.2.3A.2.3 Minimum conformance requirements

For inter-band carrier aggregation with uplink assigned to one E-UTRA band (Table 5.4.2A-1), the requirements in subclause 6.2.3 apply.

For inter-band carrier aggregation with one component carrier per operating band and the uplink active in two E-UTRA bands, the requirements in subclause 6.2.3 apply [for each uplink carrier].

For UE Power Class 1 and 3, the allowed Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for the maximum output power in Table 6.2.2A.0-1due to higher order modulation and transmit bandwidth configuration (resource blocks) is specified in Table 6.2.3A.2.3-1.

Table 6.2.3A.2.3-1: Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for Power Class 1 and 3

Modulation	Channel bandwidth / Transmission bandwidth (N_RB)						MPR (dB)
Modulation	1.4 MHz	3.0 MHz	5 MHz	10 MHz	15 MHz	20 MHz	MPR (dB)
QPSK	> 5	> 4	> 8	> 12	> 16	> 18	≤ 1
16 QAM	≤ 5	≤ 4	≤ 8	≤ 12	≤ 16	≤ 18	≤ 1
16 QAM	> 5	> 4	> 8	> 12	> 16	> 18	≤ 2

For PRACH, PUCCH and SRS transmissions, the allowed MPR is according to that specified for PUSCH QPSK modulation for the corresponding transmission bandwidth.

For each subframe, the MPR is evaluated per slot and given by the maximum value taken over the transmission(s) within the slot; the maximum MPR over the two slots is then applied for the entire subframe.

For the UE maximum output power modified by MPR, the power limits specified in subclause 6.2.5 apply.

The normative reference for this requirement is in TS 36.101 [2] clause 6.2.3A and 6.2.3.

The allowed MPR for transmission on an Scell in Band 46 within a component carrier of a nominal channel bandwidth of 10 MHz or 20 MHz is in accordance with 6.2.3.3-1 for L = 5 (10 MHz) and L = 10 (20 MHz) with L defined in Clause 8.1.4 of [6]. For all other possible values of the RIV defined in Clause 8.1.4 of [6] the allowed MPR is 2.5 dB for QPSK modulation, 3 dB for 16QAM modulation and 4 dB for 64QAM modulation (256QAM is FFS).

1. Connect the SS and interfering sources to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure group A.32 as appropriate.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.4.3.

3. Downlink signals for PCC 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 channel is set according to Table 6.2.3A.2.4.1-1 or 6.2.3A.2.4.1-2.

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

6. Ensure the UE is in State 3A-RF according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.2. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2.3A.2.4.3.

6.2.3A.2.4.2 Test procedure

1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1, and Annex C.3.0 for all downlink physical channels.

2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2.3A.2.4.3.

3. SS activates SCC by sending the MAC-CE according to TS 36.321 [13] clauses 5.13 and 6.1.3.8. Wait for at least 2 seconds as per TS 36.133 [4] clause 8.3.3.2.

4. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 (or DCI format 0A for SCC in the case of uplink LAA) for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.2.3A.2.4.1-1 or Table 6.2.3A.2.4.1-2 on both PCC and SCC. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

5. Send continuously uplink power control “up” commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE to ensure that the UE transmits at P_UMAXlevel.

6.2.3A.2.4.3 Message contents

Message contents are according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.6. In test procedure step 2, for SCC configuration there are no additional message contents.

6.2.3A.2.5 Test Requirements

The maximum output power, derived in step 6 shall be within the range prescribed by the nominal maximum output power and tolerance in Table 6.2.3A.2.5-1 or Table 6.2.3A.2.5-2, as applicable.

6.2.3A.2_1 Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for CA (inter-band DL CA and UL CA) for UL 64QAM

6.2.3A.2_1.1 Test purpose

The number of RB identified in Table 6.2.3A.2_1.3-1 is based on meeting the requirements for Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR) for CA and the maximum power reduction (MPR) for inter-band CA Bandwidth Class A due to Cubic Metric (CM).

6.2.3A.2_1.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.2.3A.2_1 Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR) for CA to all types of E-UTRA UE release 13 and forward that support inter-band DL CA, UL CA and UL 64QAM.

NOTE: As a result TC 6.2.3A.2_1 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.

6.2.3A.2_1.3 Minimum conformance requirements

For inter-band carrier aggregation with uplink assigned to one E-UTRA band (Table 5.4.2A-1), the requirements in subclause 6.2.3 apply.

For inter-band carrier aggregation with one component carrier per operating band and the uplink active in two E-UTRA bands, the requirements in subclause 6.2.3 apply [for each uplink carrier].

Table 6.2.3A.2_1.3-1: Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for Power Class 1 and 3

Modulation	Channel bandwidth / Transmission bandwidth (N_RB)						MPR (dB)

64 QAM	> 5	> 4	> 8	> 12	> 16	> 18	≤ 3

For PRACH, PUCCH and SRS transmissions, the allowed MPR is according to that specified for PUSCH QPSK modulation for the corresponding transmission bandwidth.

For the UE maximum output power modified by MPR, the power limits specified in subclause 6.2.5 apply.

The normative reference for this requirement is in TS 36.101 [2] clause 6.2.3A and 6.2.3.

6.2.3A.2_2 Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for CA (inter-band DL CA and UL CA) for UL 256QAM

6.2.3A.2_2.1 Test purpose

The number of RB identified in Table 6.2.3A.2_2.3-1 is based on meeting the requirements for Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR) for CA and the maximum power reduction (MPR) for inter-band CA Bandwidth Class A due to Cubic Metric (CM).

6.2.3A.2_2.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.2.3A.2_2 Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR) for CA to all types of E-UTRA UE release 14 and forward that support inter-band DL CA, UL CA and UL 256QAM.

NOTE: As a result TC 6.2.3A.2_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.

6.2.3A.2_2.3 Minimum conformance requirements

For inter-band carrier aggregation with uplink assigned to one E-UTRA band (Table 5.4.2A-1), the requirements in subclause 6.2.3 apply.

For inter-band carrier aggregation with one component carrier per operating band and the uplink active in two E-UTRA bands, the requirements in subclause 6.2.3 apply for each uplink component carrier.

6.2.3A.3 Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for CA (intra-band non-contiguous DL CA and UL CA)

Editor’s note: For a transition period until RAN5#73, this test case in version 13.1.0 of 36.521-1 shall be used. This is to ensure no test coverage is lost before the UL 64QAM test case becomes available.

6.2.3A.3.1 Test purpose

The number of RB identified in Table 6.2.3A.2.3-1 is based on meeting the requirements for Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR) for CA and the maximum power reduction (MPR) for inter-band CA Bandwidth Class A due to Cubic Metric (CM).

6.2.3A.3.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.2.3A.3 Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR) for CA to all types of E-UTRA UE release 11 and forward that support intra-band non-contiguous DL CA and UL CA but do not support UL 64QAM or UL 256QAM.

NOTE: As a result TC 6.2.3A.3 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.

6.2.3A.3.3 Minimum conformance requirements

For intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation with one uplink carrier, the requirements in subclause 6.2.3 apply.

For intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation with two uplink carriers MPR is specified for E-UTRA CA configurations with a maximum possible W_GAP ≤ 35 MHz; the allowed MPR is

MPR = CEIL {M_N, 0.5}

where M_Nis defined as follows

M_N= -0.125 N + 18.25; 2 ≤ N ≤ 50

-0.0333 N + 13.67; 50 < N ≤ 200

where N= N_{RB_alloc} is the number of allocated resource blocks. E-UTRA CA configurations with a maximum possible W_gap > 35 MHz and their corresponding MPR are intended to form part of a later release.

For intra-band carrier aggregation, the MPR is evaluated per slot and given by the maximum value taken over the transmission(s) on all component carriers within the slot; the maximum MPR over the two slots is then applied for the entire subframe.

The normative reference for this requirement is in TS 36.101 [2] clause 6.2.3A.

1. Connect the SS and interfering sources to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure group A.32 as appropriate.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.4.3.

3. Downlink signals for PCC 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 channel is set according to Table 6.2.3A.3.4.1-1.

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

6. Ensure the UE is in State 3A-RF according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.2. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2.3A.3.4.3.

6.2.3A.3.4.2 Test procedure

1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1, and Annex C.3.0 for all downlink physical channels

2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2.3A.2.4.3.

3. SS activates SCC by sending the MAC-CE according to TS 36.321 [13] clauses 5.13 and 6.1.3.8. Wait for at least 2 seconds as per TS 36.133 [4] clause 8.3.3.2.

4. 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 6.2.3A.3.4.1-1on both PCC and SCC. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

5. Send continuously uplink power control “up” commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE to ensure that the UE transmits at P_UMAXlevel.

6.2.3A.3.4.3 Message contents

Message contents are according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.6. In test procedure step 2, for SCC configuration there are no additional message contents.

6.2.3A.4 Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for CA (3UL CA)

6.2.3A.4.1 Test purpose

The number of RB identified in Table 6.2.3A.4.3-1 & 6.2.3A.4.3-2 is based on meeting the requirements for Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR) for CA and the maximum power reduction (MPR) for intra-band contiguous CA Bandwidth Class C due to Cubic Metric (CM).

6.2.3A.4.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.2.3A.4 Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR) for CA (3UL CA) to all types of E-UTRA UE release 13 and forward that support intra-band contiguous or inter-band 3DL CA and 3UL CA.

NOTE: As a result TC 6.2.3A.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.

6.2.3A.4.3 Minimum conformance requirements

For inter-band carrier aggregation with uplink assigned to one E-UTRA band (Table 5.4.2A-1), the requirements in subclause 6.2.3 apply.

For intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation the allowed Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for the maximum output power in Table 6.2.2A.0-2 due to higher order modulation and contiguously aggregated transmit bandwidth configuration (resource blocks) is specified in Table 6.2.3A.4.3-2 for UE power class 3 CA bandwidth class D. In case the modulation format is different on different component carriers then the MPR is determined by the rules applied to higher order of those modulations.

For PUCCH and SRS transmissions, the allowed MPR is according to that specified for PUSCH QPSK modulation for the corresponding transmission bandwidth.

For UE power class 3 intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation bandwidth class D with non-contiguous resource allocation, the allowed Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for the maximum output power in Table 6.2.3A-2 is specified as follows

MPR = CEIL { min(M_A, M_IM5)_, 0.5}

Where M_Ais defined as followsfor QPSK, 16 QAM and 64 QAM

M_A = 8.2 ; 0 ≤ A < 0.025

9.2 – 40A ; 0.025 ≤ A < 0.05

8 – 16A ; 0.05 ≤ A < 0.25

4.0 ; 0.25 ≤ A < 1

Where M_A is defined as follows for 256 QAM

M_A = 8.2 ; 0 ≤ A < 0.025

9.2 – 40A ; 0.025 ≤ A < 0.05

8 – 16A ; 0.05 ≤ A < 0.16

5.5 ; 0.16 ≤ A < 1

and M_IM5is defined as follows

M_IM5 = 4.5 ; _IM5 < 1.5 * BW_{Channel_CA}

6.0 ; 1.5 * BW_{Channel_CA} ≤ _IM5 < BW_{Channel_CA}/2 + F_OOB

M_A ; _IM5 ≥ BW_{Channel_CA}/2 + F_OOB

CEIL{M_A, 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, 8.5].

For intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation with one uplink carrier, the requirements in subclause 6.2.3 apply.

For intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation with two uplink carriers MPR is specified for E-UTRA CA configurations with a maximum possible W_GAP ≤ 35 MHz; the allowed MPR is

MPR = CEIL {M_N, 0.5}

where M_Nis defined as follows

M_N= -0.125 N + 18.25 ; 2 ≤ N ≤ 50

-0.0333 N + 13.67 ; 50 < N ≤ 200

where N= N_{RB_alloc} is the number of allocated resource blocks. Clause 6.2.3 does not apply in addition. E-UTRA CA configurations with a maximum possible W_gap > 35 MHz and their corresponding MPR are intended to form part of a later release.

For intra-band carrier aggregation, the MPR is evaluated per T_eval period specified in table 6.2.3A-3 and given by the maximum value taken over the transmission(s) on all component carriers within that period; the maximum MPR over T_REF is then applied for T_REF.

Table 6.2.3A-3: MPR evaluation period for CA

TTI pattern	T_REF	T_eval
Subframe	1 subframe	1 slot
Slot	7 OS	Min(T_{no_hopping}, 7OS)
Sublot	2 OS, 3OS	Min(T_{no_hopping}, 2OS/3OS)

For combinations of intra-band and inter-band carrier aggregation with three uplink component carriers (up to two contiguously aggregated carriers per band), the requirements specified in subclause 6.2.3 apply for the E-UTRA band supporting one component carrier, and for the E-UTRA band supporting two contiguous component carriers the requirements specified in subclause 6.2.3A apply.

For the UE maximum output power modified by MPR, the power limits specified in subclause 6.2.5A apply.

The normative reference for this requirement is in TS 36.101 [2] clause 6.2.3A.

Note 1: CA Configuration Test CC Combination settings are checked separately for each CA Configuration. which applicable aggregated channel bandwidths are specified in Table 5.4.2A.1-1. Note 2: If the UE supports multiple CC Combinations in the CA Configuration with the same NRB_agg. only the combination with the highest NRB_PCC is tested. Note 3: For Low range place test point with RBstart=0. For High range place test point with RB_start=RB_end-L_CRB+1. Note 4: Applicable only for 6.6.2.1A.2 Spectrum emission mask for CA (inter-band DL CA and UL CA) Note 5: Applicable only for an LAA Scell configured in Band 46. For High range place test point with RB_start=N-1, with N defined in Clause 8.1.4 of [6].

1. Connect the SS and interfering sources to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure group A.32 as appropriate.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.4.3.

3. Downlink signals for PCC 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 channel is set according to Table 6.2.3A.1.4.1-1.

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

6. Ensure the UE is in State 3A-RF according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.2. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2.3A.4.4.3.

6.2.3A.4.4.2 Test procedure

1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1, and Annex C.3.0 for all downlink physical channels.

2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2.3A.4.4.3.

3. SS activates SCC by sending the MAC-CE according to TS 36.321 [13] clauses 5.13 and 6.1.3.8. Wait for at least 2 seconds as per TS 36.133 [4] clause 8.3.3.2.

4. 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 6.2.3A.4.4.1-1on both PCC and SCC. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

5. Send continuously uplink power control “up” commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE to ensure that the UE transmits at P_UMAXlevel.

6.2.3A.4.4.3 Message contents

Message contents are according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.6. In test procedure step 2, for SCC configuration there are no additional message contents.

6.2.3A.4.5 Test Requirements

The maximum output power, derived in step 2 shall be within the range prescribed by the nominal maximum output power and tolerance same as in clause 6.2.3A.1.5 & 6.2.3A.2.5 for intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA & inter-band DL CA and UL CA, as applicable.

Note 1: Lower limit is assuming ΔT_IB,c is zero. If non-zero. P_CMAX,c will decrease and T(P_{CMAX_L,c}) may be higher resulting in different test requirements according to Table 6.2.5.3-1. Note 2: Δ_TC,c does not apply in all bands. It is 1.5dB when Note 2 in Table 6.2.2.3-1 applies in that band. For bands without this lower limit is 19.3 dBm in all test points

Note 1: Lower limit is assuming ΔT_IB,c is zero. If non-zero. P_CMAX,c will decrease and T(P_{CMAX_L,c}) may be higher resulting in different test requirements according to Table 6.2.5.3-1. Note 2: Δ_TC,c does not apply in all bands. It is 1.5dB when Note 2 in Table 6.2.2.3-1 applies in that band. For bands without this lower limit is 19.3 dBm in all test points.

For PRACH, PUCCH and SRS transmissions, the allowed MPR is according to that specified for PUSCH QPSK modulation for the corresponding transmission bandwidth.

For intra-band contiguous CA Bandwidth Class C with non-contiguous resource allocation the allowed Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for the maximum output power in Table 6.2.2A.0-2 is specified as follows:

MPR = CEIL {min (M_A, M_IM5)_, 0.5}

Where M_Ais defined as follows:

M_A = 8.2; 0 ≤ A < 0.025

9.2 – 40A; 0.025 ≤ A < 0.05

8 – 16A; 0.05 ≤ A < 0.25

4.83 – 3.33A; 0.25 ≤ A ≤ 0.4

3.83 – 0.83A; 0.4 ≤ A ≤ 1

and M_IM5is defined as follows

M_IM5 = 4.5 ; _IM5 < 1.5 * BW_{Channel_CA}

6.0 ; 1.5 * BW_{Channel_CA} ≤ _IM5 < BW_{Channel_CA}/2 + F_OOB

M_A ; _IM5 ≥ BW_{Channel_CA}/2 + F_OOB

For the UE maximum output power modified by MPR, the power limits specified in subclause 6.2.5 apply.

The normative reference for this requirement is in TS 36.101 [2] clause 6.2.3A and 6.2.3.

6.2.3A.5.4.1 Initial conditions

Initial conditions are a set of test configurations the UE needs to be set up 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 CC combinations based on E‑UTRA CA configurations specified in table 5.4.2A.1-1 and 5.4.2A.1-2. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each CA Configuration, and are shown in table 6.2.3A.5.4.1-1. The details of the uplink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annexe A.2. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2.

NOTE 1: CA Configuration Test CC Combination settings are checked separately for each CA Configuration, which applicable aggregated channel bandwidths are specified in Table 5.4.2A.1-2. NOTE 2: If the UE supports multiple CC Combinations in the CA Configuration with the same N_{RB_agg}, only the combination with the highest NRB_PCC is tested.

1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508[7] Annex A Figure group A.55 as appropriate.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.4.3.

3. Downlink signals for PCC 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 channel is set according to Table 6.2.3A.5.4.1-1.

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

6. Ensure the UE is in State 3A-RF according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.2. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2.3A.5.4.3.

6.2.3A.5.4.2 Test procedure

1. Configure SCCs according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.0 for all downlink physical channels.

2. The SS shall configure SCCs as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2.3A.5.4.3.

3. SS activates SCCs by sending the activation MAC-CE (Refer TS 36.321 [13], clauses 5.13, 6.1.3.8). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 36.133, clauses 8.3.3.2).

4. 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 6.2.3A.5.4.1-1 on both PCC and SCCs. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

5. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE; allow at least 200ms for the UE to reach P_UMAX level.

6. Measure the mean transmitted power over all component carriers in the CA configuration of the radio access mode. The period of measurement shall be at least the continuous duration of one sub-frame (1ms). For TDD slots with transient periods are not under test.

6.2.3A.5.4.3 Message contents

Message contents are according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.6. In test procedure step 2, for SCCs configuration there are no additional message contents.

6.2.3A.5.5 Test Requirements

The maximum output power for the CA configuration, derived in step 6 shall be within the range prescribed by the CA UE Power Class and tolerance in Table 6.2.3A.5.5-1 for inter band 4 UL CA configuration.
