6.2.4A.1 Additional Maximum Power Reduction (A-MPR) for CA (intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA)

6.2.4A.1.1 Test purpose

Additional ACLR, spectrum emission and spurious emission requirements for carrier aggregation 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 CA Power Class as specified in Table 6.2.2A.0-2.

6.2.4A.1.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.2.2A.1 Additional Spectrum Emission Mask for CA (intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA) for network signalled value CA_NS_04 to all types of E-UTRA UE release 10 and forward that support intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA but do not support UL 64QAM or UL 256QAM.

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.3.3A.1 Additional spurious emissions for CA (intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA) for network signalled values CA_NS_01, CA_NS_02 and CA_NS_03, CA_NS_05, CA_NS_06, CA_NS_07 to all types of E-UTRA UE release 10 and forward that support intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA but do not support UL 64QAM or UL 256QAM.

NOTE: As a result TC 6.2.4A.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.

6.2.4A.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements

Additional ACLR, spectrum emission and spurious emission requirements for carrier aggregation 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 CA Power Class as specified in Table 6.2.2A.0-2.

If for intra-band carrier aggregation the UE is configured for transmissions on a single serving cell, then subclauses 6.2.3 and 6.2 4 apply with the Network Signalling value indicated by the field additionalSpectrumEmission.

For intra-band contiguous aggregation with the UE configured for transmissions on two serving cells, the maximum output power reduction specified in Table 6.2.4A.1.3-1 is allowed for all serving cells of the applicable uplink CA configurations according to the CA network signalling value indicated by the field additionalSpectrumEmissionSCell-r10. Then clause 6.2.3A.1.3 does not apply, i.e. the carrier aggregation MPR = 0 dB, unless the value indicated is CA_NS_31.

For the UE maximum output power modified by A-MPR specified in table 6.2.4A.1.3-1, the power limits specified in subclause 6.2.5A.1.3 apply.

NOTE 2: The index of the sequence CA_NS corresponds to the value of additionalSpectrumEmissionSCell-r10.

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

For intra-band carrier aggregation, the A-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 A-MPR over the two slots is then applied for the entire subframe.

6.2.4A.1.4 Test description

6.2.4A.1.4.1 Initial conditions

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 CC combinations based on E‑UTRA CA configurations specified in table 5.4.2A.1-1. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each CA Configuration, and are shown in table 6.2.4A.1.4.1-1 to 6.2.4A.1.4.1-7. 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.1-1

1. Connect the SS 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 the applicable table from Table 6.2.4A.1.4.1-1 to 6.2.4A.1.4.1-7.

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 6.2.4A.1.4.3.

6.2.4A.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 6.2.4A.1.4.3.

3. SS activates SCC 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 the applicable from Table 6.2.4A.1.4.1-1 to Table 6.2.4A.1.4.1-7 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 every uplink scheduling information to the UE; allow at least 200ms for the UE to reach PUMAX 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.

6.2.4A.1.4.3 Message contents

Message contents are according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.6.The following exceptions apply for each network signalled value.

6.2.4A.1.4.3.1 Message contents exceptions (network signalled value "CA_NS_01")

1. Information element additionalSpectrumEmissionSCell-r10 is set to CA_NS_01. This can be set in the RadioResourceConfigCommonSCell-r10-DEFAULT as part of the common RRC messages. This exception indicates that the UE shall meet the additional spectrum emission requirement for a specific deployment scenario.

6.2.4A.1_1 Additional Maximum Power Reduction (A-MPR) for CA (intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA) for UL 64QAM

Editor’s notes:

– Minimum requirement for CA_NS_08 for this test case is undefined in TS 36.101.

– For a transition period until RAN5#83, this test case in version 15.3.1 of 36.521-1 shall be used. This is to ensure no test coverage is lost before the UL 256QAM test case becomes available.

6.2.4A.1_1.1 Test purpose

Same test purpose as in clause 6.2.4A.1.1.

6.2.4A.1_1.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.2.2A.1_1 Additional Spectrum Emission Mask for CA (intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA) for network signalled value CA_NS_04 to all types of E-UTRA UE from release 13 and forward that support intra-band contiguous DL CA, UL CA and UL 64QAM but do not support UL 256QAM.

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.3.3A.1_1 Additional spurious emissions for CA (intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA) for network signalled values CA_NS_01, CA_NS_02 and CA_NS_03, CA_NS_05, CA_NS_06, CA_NS_07, CA_NS_08 to all types of E-UTRA UE from release 13 and forward that support intra-band contiguous DL CA, UL CA and UL 64QAM but do not support UL 256QAM.

NOTE: As a result TC 6.2.4A.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.

6.2.4A.1_1.3 Minimum conformance requirements

Additional ACLR, spectrum emission and spurious emission requirements for carrier aggregation 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 CA Power Class as specified in Table 6.2.2A.0-2.

If for intra-band carrier aggregation the UE is configured for transmissions on a single serving cell, then subclauses 6.2.3 and 6.2 4 apply with the Network Signalling value indicated by the field additionalSpectrumEmission.

For intra-band contiguous aggregation with the UE configured for transmissions on two serving cells, the maximum output power reduction specified in Table 6.2.4A.1_1.3-1 is allowed for all serving cells of the applicable uplink CA configurations according to the CA network signalling value indicated by the field additionalSpectrumEmissionSCell-r10. Then clause 6.2.3A.1.3 does not apply, i.e. the carrier aggregation MPR = 0 dB, unless the value indicated is CA_NS_31. For uplink 64QAM, the applied maximum output power reduction is obtained by taking the maximum value of MPR requirements specified in Table 6.2.3A.1_1.3-1 and A-MPR requirements specified in Table 6.2.4A.1_1.3-1.

For the UE maximum output power modified by A-MPR specified in table 6.2.4A.1_1.3-1, the power limits specified in subclause 6.2.5A.1.3 apply.

NOTE 2: The index of the sequence CA_NS corresponds to the value of additionalSpectrumEmissionSCell-r10.

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

For intra-band carrier aggregation, the A-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 A-MPR over the two slots is then applied for the entire subframe.

6.2.4A.1_1.4 Test description

6.2.4A.1_1.4.1 Initial conditions

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 CC combinations based on E‑UTRA CA configurations specified in table 5.4.2A.1-1. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each CA Configuration, and are shown in table 6.2.4A.1_1.4.1-1 to 6.2.4A.1_1.4.1-7. 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.

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 the applicable table from Table 6.2.4A.1_1.4.1-1 to 6.2.4A.1_1.4.1-7.

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 6.2.4A.1_1.4.3.

6.2.4A.1_1.4.2 Test procedure

Same test procedure as in clause 6.2.4A.1.4.2

6.2.4A.1_1.4.3 Message contents

Same message contents as in clause 6.2.4A.1.4.3.

6.2.4A.1_1.5 Test requirements

The maximum output power, derived in step 3 shall be within the range prescribed by the nominal maximum output power and tolerance in the applicable table from Table 6.2.4A.1_1.5-1 to Table 6.2.4A.1_1.5-7. For uplink QPSK or 16QAM, the allowed maximum output power reduction is specified in Table 6.2.4A.1_1.3-1 and clause 6.2.3A.1 does not apply, i.e. carrier aggregation MPR = 0. For uplink 64QAM, the applied maximum output power reduction is obtained by taking the maximum value of MPR requirements specified in Table 6.2.3A.1_1.3-1 and A-MPR requirements specified in Table 6.2.4A.1_1.3-1. For the UE maximum output power modified by MPR specified in Table 6.2.3A.1_1.3-1 or A-MPR specified in Table 6.2.4A.1_1.3-1, the power limits specified in Table 6.2.5A.1.3-1 apply.

6.2.4A.1_2 Additional Maximum Power Reduction (A-MPR) for CA (intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA) for UL 256QAM

Editor’s notes: Minimum requirements for CA_NS_08 and CA_NS_09 for this test case are defined in TS 36.101, but test point selection for test case 6.2.4A.1 – hereupon test point selection for test case 6.2.4A.1_2 is based – is still outstanding.

6.2.4A.1_2.1 Test purpose

Same test purpose as in clause 6.2.4A.1.1.

6.2.4A.1_2.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.2.2A.1_2 Additional Spectrum Emission Mask for CA (intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA) for network signalled value CA_NS_04 and NS_09 to all types of E-UTRA UE from release 14 and forward that support intra-band contiguous DL CA, UL CA and UL 256QAM.

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.3.3A.1_2 Additional spurious emissions for CA (intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA) for network signalled values CA_NS_01, CA_NS_02, CA_NS_03, CA_NS_05, CA_NS_06, CA_NS_07 and CA_NS_08 to all types of E-UTRA UE from release 14 and forward that support intra-band contiguous DL CA, UL CA and UL 256QAM.

NOTE: As a result TC 6.2.4A.1_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.

6.2.4A.1_2.3 Minimum conformance requirements

Additional ACLR, spectrum emission and spurious emission requirements for carrier aggregation 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 CA Power Class as specified in Table 6.2.2A.0-2.

If for intra-band carrier aggregation the UE is configured for transmissions on a single serving cell, then subclauses 6.2.3 and 6.2 4 apply with the Network Signalling value indicated by the field additionalSpectrumEmission.

For intra-band contiguous aggregation with the UE configured for transmissions on two serving cells, the maximum output power reduction specified in Table 6.2.4A.1_2.3-1 is allowed for all serving cells of the applicable uplink CA configurations according to the CA network signalling value indicated by the field additionalSpectrumEmissionSCell-r10. Then clause 6.2.3A.1.3 does not apply, i.e. the carrier aggregation MPR = 0dB, unless the value indicated is CA_NS_31. For uplink 64 QAM and 256 QAM, the applied maximum output power reduction is obtained by taking the maximum value of MPR requirements specified in Table 6.2.3A.1_1.3-1 and A-MPR requirements specified in Table 6.2.4A.1_2.3-1.

For the UE maximum output power modified by A-MPR specified in table 6.2.4A.1_2.3-1, the power limits specified in subclause 6.2.5A.1.3 apply.

NOTE 2: The index of the sequence CA_NS corresponds to the value of additionalSpectrumEmissionSCell-r10.

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

For intra-band carrier aggregation, the A-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 A-MPR over the two slots is then applied for the entire subframe.

The normative reference for requirement is in TS 36.101 [2] clause 6.2.4A.

6.2.4A.1_2.4 Test description

6.2.4A.1_2.4.1 Initial conditions

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 CC combinations based on E‑UTRA CA configurations specified in table 5.4.2A.1-1. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each CA Configuration, and are shown in table 6.2.4A.1_2.4.1-1 to 6.2.4A.1_2.4.1-7. 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.

6.2.4A.1_3 Additional Maximum Power Reduction (A-MPR) for CA and HPUE (intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA)

6.2.4A.1_3.1 Test purpose

Same test purpose as in clause 6.2.4A.1.1.

6.2.4A.1_3.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.2.2A.1_3 Additional Spectrum Emission Mask for CA and HPUE (intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA) for network signalled value CA_NS_04 to all types of E-UTRA Power Class 2 UE release 10 and forward that support intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA but do not support UL 64QAM or UL 256QAM.

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.3.3A.1_3 Additional spurious emissions for CA and HPUE (intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA) for network signalled values CA_NS_04 to all types of E-UTRA Power Class 2 UE release 10 and forward that support intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA but do not support UL 64QAM or UL 256QAM.

NOTE: As a result TC 6.2.4A.1_3 has not been included in the test case applicability table 4.1-1, TS 36.521-2 [11]. This does not preclude the test from being used for R&D or other purposes if deemed useful.

6.2.4A.1_3.3 Minimum conformance requirements

Additional ACLR, spectrum emission and spurious emission requirements for carrier aggregation 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 UE Maximum Output Power for CA and HPUE (intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA) as specified in subclause 6.2.2A.1_3.3.

For intra-band contiguous aggregation with the UE configured for transmissions on two serving cells, the maximum output power reduction specified in Table 6.2.4A.1_3.3-1 is allowed for all serving cells of the applicable uplink CA configurations according to the CA network signalling value indicated by the field additionalSpectrumEmissionSCell-r10. Then clause 6.2.3A.1_3.3 does not apply, i.e. the carrier aggregation MPR = 0 dB.

For the UE maximum output power modified by A-MPR specified in table 6.2.4A.1_3.3-1, the power limits specified in subclause 6.2.5A.1_3.3 apply.

NOTE 1: Applicable for uplink CA configurations listed in Table 5.4.2A.1-1 for which none of the additional requirements in subclauses 6.6.3.3A or 6.6.2.2A apply.

NOTE 2: The index of the sequence CA_NS corresponds to the value of additionalSpectrumEmissionSCell-r10.

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

For intra-band carrier aggregation, the A-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 A-MPR over the two slots is then applied for the entire subframe.

6.2.4A.1_3.3.4 A-MPR for CA_NS_04 for CA_41C

If the UE is configured to CA_41C and it receives IE CA_NS_04 the allowed maximum output power reduction applied to transmission on the PCC and the SCC for contiguously aggregated signals is specified in Table 6.2.4A.1_3.3.4-1.

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.

NOTE 5: The A-MPR values in this table shall apply when the lower edge of the aggregated channel bandwidth (Figure 5.4.2A-1) is less than or equal to the lower edge cutoff frequency specified in this table for the corresponding CA bandwidth combination. When the lower edge of the aggregated channel bandwidth exceeds the lower edge cutoff frequency, then the A-MPR shall be equal to the MPR specified in Table 6.2.3A.1_3.3-1a.

If the UE is configured to CA_41C or any uplink inter-band CA configuration containing CA_41C and it receives IE CA_NS_04 the allowed maximum output power reduction applied to transmissions on two serving cells assigned to Band 41 with non-contiguous resource allocation is defined as follows for UE power class 2

A-MPR = CEIL {MA, 0.5}

Where MA is defined as follows

MA = 11.5, 0≤ A < 0.05

= -55.0A + 14.25, 0.05≤ A < 0.15

= -4.0A + 6.60, 0.15≤ A < 0.40

= -0.833A + 5.333, 0.40 ≤ A ≤ 1

Where A = NRB_alloc / NRB_agg.

Where MA is defined as follows when the lower edge of the aggregated channel bandwidth (Table 5.4.2A-1) is less than or equal to the lower edge cutoff frequency specified in Table 6.2.4A.1_3.3.4-1 for the corresponding CA bandwidth combination

MA = 13.0, 0 ≤ A < 0.05

= 15.33 – 46.67A, 0.05 ≤ A < 0.20

= -7.0 – 5.0A, 0.20 ≤ A < 0.50

= 4.5, 0.50 ≤ A ≤ 1

Where A = NRB_alloc / NRB_agg.

The normative reference for requirement is in TS 36.101 [2] clause 6.2.4A.4.

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.

6.2.4A.1_3.5 Test requirements

The maximum output power, derived in step 3 shall be within the range prescribed by the nominal maximum output power and tolerance in Table 6.2.4A.1_3.5-1. For QPSK and 16QAM the allowed maximum output power reduction is specified in Table 6.2.4A.1_3.3.4-1 and clause 6.2.3A.1_3 does not apply, i.e. carrier aggregation MPR = 0. For 64QAM the applied maximum output power reduction is obtained by taking the maximum value of MPR requirements specified in Table 6.2.3A-1_3.3-1 and A-MPR requirements specified in Table 6.2.4A.1_3.3.4-1.

Note 1: Lower limit is assuming ΔTIB,c is zero. If non-zero, PCMAX,c will decrease and T(PCMAX_L,c) may be higher resulting in different test requirements according to Table 6.2.5A.1_3.3-1.

6.2.4A.2 Additional Maximum Power Reduction (A-MPR) for CA (inter-band 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. Based on analysis for CA_3A-19A in TR 36.905 [19] no requirements in additional spurious emissions are required so A-MPR requirements are not tested for this CA configuration in any test case.

6.2.4A.2.1 Test purpose

Additional ACLR, spectrum emission and spurious emission requirements for carrier aggregation 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 CA Power Class as specified in Table 6.2.2A.0-1.

6.2.4A.2.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.2.2A.2 Additional Spectrum Emission Mask for CA (inter-band DL CA and UL CA) for network signalled value NS_01/NS_03, NS_03/NS_03, NS_03/NS_06, NS_03/NS_07, NS_03/NS_01, NS_01/NS_06, NS_01/NS_21, NS_03/NS_21, NS_06/NS_21, NS_03/NS_28, NS_03/NS_29, NS_03/NS_30, NS_03/NS_31 to all types of E-UTRA UE release 11 and forward but do not support UL 64QAM or UL 256QAM.

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.3.3A.2 Additional spurious emissions for CA (inter-band DL CA and UL CA) for network signalled values NS_05/NS_01, NS_03/NS_07, NS_01/NS_12 and NS_01/NS15, NS_01/NS_21, NS_03/NS_21, NS_06/NS_21, NS_03/NS_28, NS_03/NS_29, NS_03/NS_30, NS_03/NS_31 to all types of E-UTRA UE release 11 and forward but do not support UL 64QAM or UL 256QAM.

NOTE: As a result TC 6.2.4A.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.

6.2.4A.2.3 Minimum conformance requirements

If for inter-band carrier aggregation the UE is configured for transmissions on a single serving cell, then subclauses 6.2.3 and 6.2 4 apply with the Network Signalling value indicated by the field additionalSpectrumEmission.

For inter-band carrier aggregation with the UE configured for transmissions on two serving cells the maximum output power reduction specified in Table 6.2.4-1 is allowed for each serving cell of the applicable uplink CA configuration according to the Network Signalling value indicated by the field additionalSprectrumEmission for the PCC and the CA network signalling value indicated by the field additionalSpectrumEmissionSCell-r10 for the SCC. The value of additionalSpectrumEmissionSCell-r10 is equal to that of additionalSprectrumEmission configured on the SCC. MPR as specified in subclause 6.2.3A is allowed in addition.

For PUCCH and SRS transmissions, the allowed A-MPR is according to that specified for PUSCH QPSK modulation for the corresponding transmission bandwidth. The normative reference for this requirement is in TS 36.101 [2] clause 6.2.4A.

6.2.4A.2.4 Test description
6.2.4A.2.4.1 Initial conditions

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. For the UE maximum output power modified by A-MPR specified in table 6.2.4A.2.4.1-1, the power limits specified in subclause 6.2.5A.2.3 apply.

Note 1: For CCs with NS_01, there are no additional requirements defined in 36.101. Only CCs with NS-value different than NS_01 needs to be tested.

Note 2: A-MPR values for NS-values in this table are the same as in section 6.2.4.3.

Note 3: Selection of CA configurations and NS-values to test is derived in TR 36.905 [19]

Note 4: For simplifying test, PCC is mapped to the first band of the combination as listed in Uplink CA Configuration column

Note 5: No test required since only A-Spur requirements apply, and the frequency range to test is unaffected by intermodulation products as described in section 4.3 in TR 36.905 [19] and refer to Table 4.1.3-1 in TR 36.905.

Note 6: No test required since no A_SEM and/or A-Spur requirements apply

Note 7: As an exception to note 4, PCC is mapped to the second band of the combination as listed in Uplink CA Configuration column.

Note 8: Only A_SEM requirements apply, as the frequency range to test for A-Spur requirements is unaffected by intermodulation products as described in section 4.3 in TR 36.905 [19] and refer to Table 4.1.3-1 in TR 36.905.

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.1-2. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each CA Configuration, and are shown in table 6.2.4A.2.4.1-2 to 6.2.4A.1.4.1-17. 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: For simplifying test, PCC is mapped to the first band of the combination as listed in Uplink CA Configuration column in Table 6.2.4A.2.4.1-1.

1. Connect the SS 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 the applicable table from Table 6.2.4A.2.4.1-2 to 6.2.4A.2.4.1-13.

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 6.2.4A.2.4.3.

6.2.4A.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 6.2.4A.2.4.3.

3. SS activates SCC 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 the applicable from Table 6.2.4A.2.4.1-2 to Table 6.2.4A.2.4.1-13 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 every uplink scheduling information to the UE; allow at least 200ms for the UE to reach PUMAX 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.

6.2.4A.2.4.3 Message contents

Message contents are according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.6. The following exceptions apply for each network signalled value.

6.2.4A.2.4.3.1 Message contents exceptions (network signalled value " NS_03" on PCC)

6.2.4A.2_1 Additional Maximum Power Reduction (A-MPR) for CA (inter-band DL CA and UL CA) for UL 64QAM

Editor’s note: For a transition period until RAN5#83, this test case in version 15.3.1 of 36.521-1 shall be used. This is to ensure no test coverage is lost before the UL 256QAM test case becomes available.

6.2.4A.2_1.1 Test purpose

Additional ACLR, spectrum emission and spurious emission requirements for carrier aggregation 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 CA Power Class as specified in Table 6.2.2A.0-1.

6.2.4A.2_1.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.2.2A.2_1 Additional Spectrum Emission Mask for CA (inter-band DL CA and UL CA) for network signalled value NS_03/NS_03, NS_03/NS_03, NS_03/NS_06, NS_03/NS_07, NS_03/NS_01, NS_01/NS_06 to all types of E-UTRA UE release 13 and forward that support inter-band DL CA and UL CA and UL 64QAM but do not support UL 256QAM.

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.3.3A.2_1 Additional spurious emissions for CA (inter-band DL CA and UL CA) for network signalled values NS_05/NS_01, NS_03/NS_07, NS_01/NS_12 and NS_01/NS15 to all types of E-UTRA UE release 13 and forward that support inter-band DL CA and UL CA and UL 64QAM but do not support UL 256QAM.

NOTE: As a result TC 6.2.4A.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.

6.2.4A.2_1.3 Minimum conformance requirements

If for inter-band carrier aggregation the UE is configured for transmissions on a single serving cell, then subclauses 6.2.3 and 6.2 4 apply with the Network Signalling value indicated by the field additionalSpectrumEmission.

For inter-band carrier aggregation with the UE configured for transmissions on two serving cells the maximum output power reduction specified in Table 6.2.4-1 is allowed for each serving cell of the applicable uplink CA configuration according to the Network Signalling value indicated by the field additionalSprectrumEmission for the PCC and the CA network signalling value indicated by the field additionalSpectrumEmissionSCell-r10 for the SCC. The value of additionalSpectrumEmissionSCell-r10 is equal to that of additionalSprectrumEmission configured on the SCC. MPR as specified in subclause 6.2.3A is allowed in addition.

For PUCCH and SRS transmissions, the allowed A-MPR is according to that specified for PUSCH QPSK modulation for the corresponding transmission bandwidth. The normative reference for this requirement is in TS 36.101 [2] clause 6.2.4A.

6.2.4A.2_1.4 Test description
6.2.4A.2_1.4.1 Initial conditions

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. For the UE maximum output power modified by A-MPR specified in table 6.2.4A.2_1.4.1-1, the power limits specified in subclause 6.2.5A.2.3 apply.

Note 1: For CCs with NS_01, there are no additional requirements defined in 36.101. Only CCs with NS-value different than NS_01 needs to be tested.

Note 2: A-MPR values for NS-values in this table are the same as in section 6.2.4.3.

Note 3: Selection of CA configurations and NS-values to test is derived in TR 36.905 [19].

Note 4: For simplifying test, PCC is mapped to the first band of the combination as listed in Uplink CA Configuration column.

Note 5: As an exception to note 4, PCC is mapped to the second band of the combination as listed in Uplink CA Configuration column.

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.1-2. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each CA Configuration, and are shown in table 6.2.4A.2_1.4.1-2 to 6.2.4A.2_1.4.1-12. 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.

6.2.4A.2_2 Additional Maximum Power Reduction (A-MPR) for CA (inter-band DL CA and UL CA) for UL 256QAM

6.2.4A.2_2.1 Test purpose

Additional ACLR, spectrum emission and spurious emission requirements for carrier aggregation 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 CA Power Class as specified in Table 6.2.2A.0-1.

6.2.4A.2_2.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.2.2A.2_2 Additional Spectrum Emission Mask for CA (inter-band DL CA and UL CA) for network signalled value NS_03/NS_03, NS_03/NS_03, NS_03/NS_06, NS_03/NS_07, NS_03/NS_01, NS_01/NS_06, NS_01/NS_21, NS_03/NS_21 and NS_06/NS_21 to all types of E-UTRA UE release 14 and forward that support inter-band DL CA and UL CA and UL 256QAM.

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.3.3A.2_2 Additional spurious emissions for CA (inter-band DL CA and UL CA) for network signalled values NS_05/NS_01, NS_03/NS_07, NS_01/NS_12, NS_01/NS15, NS_03/NS_21, NS_01/NS_17, NS_01/NS_21 and NS_06/NS_21 to all types of E-UTRA UE release 14 and forward that support inter-band DL CA and UL CA and UL 256QAM.

NOTE: As a result TC 6.2.4A.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.

6.2.4A.2_2.3 Minimum conformance requirements

If for inter-band carrier aggregation the UE is configured for transmissions on a single serving cell, then subclauses 6.2.3 and 6.2 4 apply with the Network Signalling value indicated by the field additionalSpectrumEmission.

For inter-band carrier aggregation with the UE configured for transmissions on two serving cells the maximum output power reduction specified in Table 6.2.4.3-1is allowed for each serving cell of the applicable uplink CA configuration according to the Network Signalling value indicated by the field additionalSprectrumEmission for the PCC and the CA network signalling value indicated by the field additionalSpectrumEmissionSCell-r10 for the SCC. The value of additionalSpectrumEmissionSCell-r10 is equal to that of additionalSprectrumEmission configured on the SCC. MPR as specified in subclause 6.2.3A is allowed in addition.

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

The normative reference for this requirement is in TS 36.101 [2] clause 6.2.4A.

6.2.4A.2_2.4 Test description
6.2.4A.2_2.4.1 Initial conditions

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. For the UE maximum output power modified by A-MPR specified in table 6.2.4A.2_2.4.1-1, the power limits specified in subclause 6.2.5A.3.3 apply.

6.2.4A.3 Additional Maximum Power Reduction (A-MPR) for CA (intra-band non-contiguous DL CA and UL CA)

NOTE: No test case details specified because the additional maximum power reduction cannot be verified for the intra-band non-contiguous UL CA case due to A-MPR is N/A in current non-contiguous Uplink CA configuration CA_4A-4A according to Table 6.2.4A-2 in TS 36.101.

6.2.4A.3.1 Minimum conformance requirements

For intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation with the UE configured for transmissions on two serving cells, the maximum output power reduction specified in Table 6.2.4A.3.1-1 is allowed for all serving cells of the applicable uplink CA configurations according to the CA network signalling value indicated by the field additionalSpectrumEmissionSCell-r10. MPR as specified in subclause 6.2.3A is not allowed in addition, unless A-MPR is N/A.

6.2.4A.4 Additional Maximum Power Reduction (A-MPR) for CA (3UL CA)

6.2.4A.4.1 Test purpose

Additional ACLR, spectrum emission and spurious emission requirements for carrier aggregation 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 CA Power Class as specified in Table 6.2.2A.0.

6.2.4A.4.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.3.3A.4 Additional spurious emissions for CA (intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA) for network signalled values CA_NS_04 to all types of E-UTRA UE release 13 and forward that support intra-band contiguous 3DL CA and 3UL CA.

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.3.3A.4 Additional spurious emissions for CA (inter-band 3DL CA and 3UL CA) for network signalled values CA_NS_04 to all types of E-UTRA UE release 13 and forward that support inter-band 3DL CA and 3UL CA.

NOTE: As a result TC 6.2.4A.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.

6.2.4A.4.3 Minimum conformance requirements

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

For intra-band carrier aggregation, the A-MPR shall be evaluated per Teval period as specified in table 6.2.4A-3 and given by the maximum value taken over the transmission(s) on all component carriers within that period; the maximum A-MPR over TREF is then applied for the entire TREF.

For combinations of intra-band and inter-band carrier aggregation with the UE configured for transmission on three serving cells (up to two contiguously aggregated carriers per band), the maximum output power reduction is specified as follows. For the band supporting one serving cell the maximum output power reduction specified in Table 6.2.4-1 is allowed according to the Network Signalling value indicated by the field additionalSprectrumEmission for the PCC and the CA network signalling value indicated by the field additionalSpectrumEmissionSCell-r10 for the SCC. The value of additionalSpectrumEmissionSCell-r10 is equal to that of additionalSprectrumEmission configured on the SCC. MPR as specified in subclause 6.2.3A is allowed in addition. For the band supporting intra-band contiguous aggregation with the UE configured for transmissions on two serving cells, the maximum output power reduction specified in Table 6.2.4A.1.3-1 is allowed for all serving cells of the applicable uplink CA configurations according to the CA network signalling value indicated by the field additionalSpectrumEmissionSCell-r10. Then clause 6.2.3A does not apply, i.e. the carrier aggregation MPR = 0dB, unless the value indicated is CA_NS_31. For uplink 64 QAM and 256 QAM, the applied maximum output power reduction is obtained by taking the maximum value of MPR requirements specified in Table 6.2.3A-1 and A-MPR requirements specified in Table 6.2.4A.1.3-1.

For the UE maximum output power modified by A-MPR specified in table 6.2.4A-1, the power limits specified in subclause 6.2.5A apply.

If the UE is configured to CA_41C or any uplink inter-band CA configuration containing CA_41C and it receives IE CA_NS_04 the allowed maximum output power reduction applied to transmission on two component carriers for contiguously aggregated signals is specified in Table 6.2.4A.3-1A for UE power class 3.

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.

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 6.2.4A.4.4.1-1.

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 6.2.4A.4.4.3.

6.2.4A.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 6.2.4A.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 PUMAX level.

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.

6.2.4A.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.

6.2.4A.4.5 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 the applicable table from Table 6.2.4A.4.5-1. For the UE maximum output power modified by A-MPR specified in sub-clause 6.2.4A.2.3, the power limits specified in Table 6.2.5A.3.3-1 apply.

6.2.4A.5 Additional Maximum Power Reduction (A-MPR) for CA (4UL CA)

Editor’s Note: This test case is incomplete. The following items are missing or are incomplete:

  • There is no intra-band combination for CA (4UL CA)
  • Test case need to be aligned with the Additional Spectrum Emission Mask & Additional spurious emissions for CA (4UL CA)
  • Test configuration table is TBD
  • Test requirement is TBD
6.2.4A.5.1 Test purpose

Additional ACLR, spectrum emission and spurious emission requirements for carrier aggregation 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 CA Power Class as specified in Table 6.2.2A.0.

6.2.4A.5.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.2.2A.5 Additional Spectrum Emission Mask for CA (4 UL CA) for network signalled value CA_NS [TBD] to all types of E-UTRA UE release 11 and forward that support inter-band 4DL CA and 4UL CA.

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.6.3.3A.5 Additional spurious emissions for CA (4UL CA) for network signalled value CA_NS [TBD] to all types of E-UTRA UE release 15 and forward that support inter-band 4DL CA and 4UL CA.

NOTE: As a result TC 6.2.4A.5 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.

6.2.4A.5.3 Minimum conformance requirements

For inter-band carrier aggregation, the UE configured with four uplink component carriers (up to two contiguously aggregated carriers per band), the additional maximum output power reduction specified in subclause 6.2.4A.1.3 is allowed for each E-UTRA band of the applicable uplink CA configuration according to the Network Signalling value indicated by the field additionalSprectrumEmission for the PCC and the CA network signalling value indicated by the field additionalSpectrumEmissionSCell-r10 for the SCC. The value of additionalSpectrumEmissionSCell-r10 is equal to that of additionalSprectrumEmission configured on the SCC. MPR as specified in subclause 6.2.3A is allowed in addition.

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

The normative reference for this requirement is in TS 36.101 [2] clause 6.2.4A.

6.2.4A.5.4 Test description

6.2.4A.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.

For the UE maximum output power modified by A-MPR specified in table 6.2.4A.5.4.1-1, the power limits specified in subclause [TBD] apply.

Note 1: A-MPR values for NS-values in this table are the same as in section 6.2.4.3.

Note 2: Selection of CA configurations and NS-values to test is derived in TR 36.905 [19].

Note 3: For simplifying test, PCC is mapped to the first band of the combination as listed in Uplink CA Configuration column.

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 6.2.4A.5.4.1-2. 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: Lower limit is assuming ΔTIB,c is zero. If non-zero. PCMAX,c will decrease and T(PCMAX_L,c) may be higher resulting in different test requirements according to Table 6.2.5.3-1.

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 6.2.4A.5.4.1-2.

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 6.2.4A.5.4.3.

6.2.4A.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 6.2.4A.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 6.2.4A.5.4.1-2 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 PUMAX 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.

6.2.4A.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.
