6.2.4_3 Additional Maximum Power Reduction (A-MPR) with PUSCH frequency hopping

Following aspects missing or not yet determined:
- Emissions test cases covering this test is missing
- HARQ configuration for re-transmissions is missing
6.2.4_3.1 Test purpose
Additional ACLR and spectrum emission requirements can be signalled by the network to indicate that the UE shall also meet additional requirements in a specific deployment scenario. To meet these additional requirements, Additional Maximum Power Reduction A-MPR is allowed for the output power as specified in Table 6.2.2.3-1. Unless stated otherwise, an A-MPR of 0 dB shall be used. When PUSCH inter-subframe frequency hopping is configured the UE will use different resource blocks for HARQ retransmissions compared to the previous transmission resulting in potentially different A-MPR.
The purpose of this test is to ensure the UE is using A-MPR in a correct way fulfilling emissions requirements also when PUSCH frequency hopping is enabled.
6.2.4_3.2 Test applicability
The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.2.2_3 Additional Spectrum Emission Mask for network signalled values NS_07, NS_11 and NS_20 to all types of E-UTRA UE release 8 and forward.
The requirements of this test apply in test case TBD Additional Spurious Emissions for network signalled values NS_07, NS_11, NS_12, NS_13, NS_14, NS_15, NS_16, NS_19, NS_20 and NS_56 to all types of E-UTRA UE release 8 and forward.
NOTE: As a result TC 6.2.4_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.

6.2.4_3.4 Test description
6.2.4_3.4.1 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 table 5.4.2.1-1. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each channel bandwidth, and are shown in table 6.2.4_3.4.1-1. The details of the uplink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annex A.2. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2.

Note 1: The Configuration ID will be used to map the applicable Test Configuration to the corresponding Test Requirement in subclause 6.2.4_3.5 as not all combinations are necessarily required based on the applicability of the UE. Note 2: The RBstart of partial RB allocation shall be RB# 0 of the channel bandwidth. Note 3: High range test frequency to be used. Note 4: Low range test frequency to be used. |

1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in Figure 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 the applicable table from Table 6.2.4_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 6.2.4.4.3.
6.2.4_3.4.2 Test procedure
1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 with hopping bit(s) set to 1 (PUSCH type 2 hopping) for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to the applicable Table 6.2.4_3.4.1-1. SS sends always NACK on PHICH to trigger UE retransmissions needed for mirroring of RBs. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.
2. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE until the UE transmits at PUMAX level.
3. Measure the mean power of the UE in the channel bandwidth of the radio access mode in a TTI. The period of measurement shall be one sub-frame (1ms) excluding the 20 us transient periods in beginning and end of the subframe.
4. Measure the mean power of the UE in the channel bandwidth of the radio access mode in the next TTI of the same HARQ process. The period of measurement shall be one sub-frame (1ms). For TDD slots with transient periods are not under test.
6.2.4_3.4.3 Message contents
Same message contents as in 6.2.4.4.2
6.2.4_3.5 Test requirements
The maximum output power, derived in step 3 and 4 shall be within the range prescribed by the nominal maximum output power and tolerance in the applicable table 6.2.4_3.5-1 and 6.2.4_3.5-2. The allowed A-MPR values specified in Table 6.2.4.3-1 are in addition to the allowed MPR requirements specified in clause 6.2.3. For the UE maximum output power modified by MPR and/or A-MPR, the power limits specified in Table 6.2.5.3-1 apply.
