6.2.4_1 Additional Maximum Power Reduction (A-MPR) for HPUE
36.521-13GPPEvolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA)Part 1: Conformance testingRadio transmission and receptionRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) conformance specification
6.2.4_1.1 Test purpose
Same test purpose as in clause 6.2.4.1 with the follow exception:
– Instead of Table 6.2.2.3-1 🡪 use Table 6.2.2_1.3-1
6.2.4_1.2 Test applicability
The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.2.2 Additional Spectrum Emission Mask and 6.6.3.3 Additional spurious emissions for network signalled values NS_04, NS_06 and NS_44 to all types of E-UTRA Power Class 1 or Power Class 2 UE release 10 and forward.
NOTE: As a result TC 6.2.4_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.
6.2.4_1.3 Minimum conformance requirements
For UE Power Class 1 or Power Class 2 the specific requirements and identified sub-clauses are specified in Table 6.2.4_1.3-1 along with the allowed A-MPR values that may be used to meet these requirements. The allowed A-MPR values specified in Table 6.2.4_1.3-1 are in addition to the allowed MPR requirements specified in clause 6.2.3_1. For the UE maximum output power modified by A-MPR, the power limits specified in clause 6.2.5_1 apply.
The normative reference for this requirement is TS 36.101 clause 6.2.4.

NOTE 1: RBstart indicates the lowest RB index of transmitted resource blocks NOTE 2: LCRB is the length of a contiguous resource block allocation NOTE 3: For intra-subframe frequency hopping which intersects regions, notes 1 and 2 apply on a per slot basis NOTE 4: For intra-subframe frequency hopping which intersects regions, the larger A-MPR value may be applied for both slots in the subframe |
For a power class 2 capable UE operating in Band 41, A-MPR according to Table 6.2.4.3-2, Table 6.2.4.3-3, or Table 6.2.4.3-4 for power class 3 is allowed when an IE P-max as defined in [5] of 23 dBm or lower is indicated in the cell or if the uplink/downlink configuration is 0 or 6.

6.2.4_1.5 Test requirements
The maximum output power, derived in step 2 of clause 6.2.4_1.4.2 shall be within the range prescribed by the nominal maximum output power and tolerance in Table 6.2.4_1.5-1 and 6.2.4_1.5-2. The allowed A-MPR values specified in Table 6.2.4_1.3-1 are in addition to the allowed MPR requirements specified in clause 6.2.3_1. For the UE maximum output power modified by MPR and/or A-MPR, the power limits specified in Table 6.2.5_1.3-1 apply.
