6.2.3FA Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for category NB1 and NB2/Power Class 6
36.521-13GPPEvolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA)Part 1: Conformance testingRadio transmission and receptionRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) conformance specification
6.2.3FA.1 Test purpose
Same test purpose as in clause 6.2.3F.1.
6.2.3FA.2 Test applicability
The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.2.3FA Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio for category NB1 and NB2/Power Class 6 to all types of NB-IoT FDD Power Class 6 UE release 14 and forward of UE category NB1 and NB2.
The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.2.3FA Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio for category NB1 and NB2/Power Class 6 to all types of NB-IoT TDD Power Class 6 UE release 15 and forward of category NB1 and NB2.
NOTE: As a result TC 6.2.3FA 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.
6.2.3FA.3 Minimum conformance requirements
For UE category NB1 and NB2 power class 6 the allowed Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for the maximum output power given in Table 6.2.2FA.3-1 is specified in Table 6.2.3FA.3-1.
Table 6.2.3FA.3-1: Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for UE category NB1 and NB2 Power Class 6

|
MPR for 3 Tones allocation |
≤ 0.5 dB |
|
MPR for 6 Tones allocation |
≤ 1 dB |
|
MPR for 12 Tones allocation |

For the UE maximum output power modified by MPR, the power limits specified in sub-clause 6.2.5FA apply.
The normative reference for this requirement is TS 36.101 clause 6.2.3F.
6.2.3FA.4 Test description
Same test description as in clause 6.2.3F.4 the following exceptions:
– Instead of Table 6.2.3F.4.1-1 🡪 use Table 6.2.3FA.4-1
