6.2.3E Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for UE category 0

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

6.2.3E.1 Test purpose

Same test purpose as in clause 6.2.3.1.

6.2.3E.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.2.3E Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio for UE category 0 to all types of E-UTRA UE release 12 and forward of UE category 0.

NOTE: As a result TC 6.2.3E 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.

6.2.3E.3 Minimum conformance requirements

Same minimum conformance requirements as in clause 6.2.3.3.

6.2.3E.4 Test description

6.2.3E.4.1 Initial condition

Same initial conditions as in clause 6.2.3.4.1 with following exceptions for HD-FDD:

– Instead of Table 6.2.3.4.1-1 🡪 use Table 6.2.3E.4.1-1.

– Connect SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A Figure A.3 using only main UE Tx/Rx antenna.

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: The RBstart of partial RB allocation shall be RB#0 and RB# (max + 1 – RB allocation) of the channel bandwidth.

6.2.3E.4.2 Test procedure

Same test procedure as in clause 6.2.3.4.2 with following exception for HD-FDD:

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

6.2.3E.4.3 Message contents

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

6.2.3E.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 6.2.3E.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

Note 3: Full allocation for 16QAM cat0

Note 4: Only applicable in 3MHz
