6.2.5 Configured UE transmitted Output Power

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

Editor’s notes: This clause is incomplete waiting for RAN4 decision for CA_7A-40A, CA_7A-40C, CA_42A-46A, CA_2A-4A-29A and CA_7A-8A-20A:

  • ΔTIB,c is still in square brackets

6.2.5.1 Test purpose

To verify the UE does not exceed the minimum between the PEMAX maximum allowed UL TX Power signalled by the E-UTRAN and the PUMAX maximum UE power the UE power class.

6.2.5.2 Test applicability

This test applies to all types of E-UTRA Power Class 3 UE release 8 and forward.

6.2.5.3 Minimum conformance requirements

The UE is allowed to set its configured maximum output power PCMAX,c for serving cell c. The configured maximum output power PCMAX is set within the following bounds:

PCMAX_L,c ≤ PCMAX,c ≤ PCMAX_H,c with

PCMAX_L,c = MIN {PEMAX,c – TC,c, (PPowerClass – ΔPPowerClass) – MAX(MPRc + A-MPRc + ΔTIB,c + TC,c + TProSe, P-MPRc)}

PCMAX_H,c = MIN {PEMAX,c, PPowerClass – ΔPPowerClass }

where

– PEMAX,c is the value given by IE P-Max for serving cell c, defined in [5];

– PPowerClass is the maximum UE power specified in Table 6.2.2.3-1 without taking into account the tolerance specified in the Table 6.2.2.3-1;

– ΔPPowerClass = 3 dB for a power class 2 capable UE operating in Band 41, when P-max of 23 dBm or lower is indicated or if the uplink/downlink configuration is 0 or 6 in the cell; otherwise, ΔPPowerClass = 0 dB

– MPRc and A-MPRc for serving cell c are specified in subclause 6.2.3 and subclause 6.2.4, respectively;

– TIB,c is the additional tolerance for serving cell c as specified in Table 6.2.5.3-2; TIB,c = 0 dB otherwise;

– TC,c = 1.5 dB when NOTE 2 in Table 6.2.2.3-1 applies;

– TC,c = 0 dB when NOTE 2 in Table 6.2.2.3-1 does not apply.

– TProSe = 0.1 dB when the UE supports ProSe Direct Discovery and/or ProSe Direct Communication on the corresponding E-UTRA ProSe band; TProSe = 0 dB otherwise.

– For a power class higher than default UE power class capable UE, ΔPPowerClass = PPowerClass – PPowerClass_Default dB, when the band is a TDD band whose frame configuration is 0 or 6; or P-max is not indicated in the cell; or P-Max is provided and set to the maximum output power of the default power class or lower, otherwise, ΔPPowerClass = 0 dB.

P-MPRc is the allowed maximum output power reduction for

a) ensuring compliance with applicable electromagnetic energy absorption requirements and addressing unwanted emissions / self desense requirements in case of simultaneous transmissions on multiple RAT(s) for scenarios not in scope of 3GPP RAN specifications;

b) ensuring compliance with applicable electromagnetic energy absorption requirements in case of proximity detection is used to address such requirements that require a lower maximum output power.

The UE shall apply P-MPRc for serving cell c only for the above cases. For UE conducted conformance testing P-MPRc shall be 0 dB

NOTE 1: P-MPRc was introduced in the PCMAX,c equation such that the UE can report to the eNB the available maximum output transmit power. This information can be used by the eNB for scheduling decisions.

NOTE 2: P-MPRc may impact the maximum uplink performance for the selected UL transmission path.

TREF and Teval are specified in Table 6.2.5.3-0 for different TTI patterns. For each TREF, the PCMAX_L,c for serving cell c is evaluated per Teval and given by the minimum value taken over the transmission(s) within the Teval; the minimum PCMAX_L,c over the one or more Teval is then applied for the entire TREF. PPowerClass shall not be exceeded by the UE during any period of time.

The measured configured maximum output power PUMAX,c shall be within the following bounds:

PCMAX_L,c – MAX{TL,c T(PCMAX_L,c) } ≤ PUMAX,c ≤ PCMAX_H,c + T(PCMAX_H,c)

where the tolerance T(PCMAX,c) for applicable values of PCMAX,c is specified in Table 6.2.5.3-1, Table 6.2.5.3-1A and Table 6.2.5.3-1B. The tolerance TL,c is the absolute value of the lower tolerance for the applicable operating band as specified in Table 6.2.2.3-1.

– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is ≤ 1GHz, the applicable additional tolerance shall be the average of the 2DL tolerances above, truncated to one decimal place for that operating band among the supported 2DL CA configurations. In case there is a harmonic relation between low band UL and high band DL, then the maximum tolerance among the different supported 2DL carrier aggregation configurations involving such band shall be applied
– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is >1GHz, the applicable additional 2DL tolerance shall be the maximum tolerance above that applies for that operating band among the supported 2DL CA configurations

NOTE 4: Only applicable for UE supporting inter-band carrier aggregation with uplink in one E-UTRA band and without simultaneous Rx/Tx.

NOTE 5: Unless otherwise specified, in case the UE supports more than one of the above 3DL inter-band carrier aggregation configurations and a E-UTRA operating band belongs to more than one 3DL inter-band carrier aggregation configurations then:

– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is ≤ 1GHz and the tolerances are the same, the value applies to the band. If the tolerances are different, the applicable additional 3DL tolerance is FFS. In case there is a harmonic relation between low band UL and high band DL, then the maximum tolerance among the different supported 3DL carrier aggregation configurations involving such band shall be applied.

– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is >1GHz, the applicable additional 3DL tolerance shall be the maximum tolerance above that applies for that operating band among the supported 3DL CA configurations.

NOTE 6: The above additional tolerances applicable for the E-UTRA operating bands that belong to the supported highest order inter-band carrier aggregation configuration, also applies to the same E-UTRA operating bands that belong to a supported lower order CA configuration.

NOTE 7: Applicable for UE supporting inter-band carrier aggregation without simultaneous Rx/Tx.

NOTE 8: Only applicable for UE supporting inter-band carrier aggregation with the uplink active in the FDD band.

NOTE 9: For Band 28, the requirements only apply for the restricted frequency range specified for this CA configuration (Table 5.2A-2).

NOTE 10: The requirement is applied for UE transmitting on the frequency range of 2545-2690MHz.

NOTE 11: The requirement is applied for UE transmitting on the frequency range of 2496-2545MHz.

NOTE 12: For UE supporting E-UTRA band 65 and CA configurations including Band 1, the Band 65 ΔTIB,c is the max(Band 65 ΔTIB,c , Band 1 ΔTIB,c)

NOTE 13: For UE supporting E-UTRA band 42, 43 or 48 and CA configurations including Band 42, 43 or 48, the applicable ΔTIB,c in Band 42, 43, or 48 is the max(Band 42 ΔTIB,c , Band 43 ΔTIB,c, Band 48 ΔTIB,c).

NOTE 14: Only applicable for UE supporting inter-band carrier aggregation with the uplink active in Band 8.

NOTE 3: The above additional tolerances do not apply to supported UTRA operating bands with frequency range below 1 GHz that correspond to the E-UTRA operating bands that belong to the supported inter-band carrier aggregation configurations when such bands are belonging only to band combination(s) where one band is <1GHz and another band is >1.7GHz and there is no harmonic relationship between the low band UL and high band DL. Otherwise the above additional tolerances also apply to supported UTRA operating bands that correspond to the E-UTRA operating bands that belong to the supported inter-band carrier aggregation configurations.

NOTE 4: To meet the ΔTIB,c requirements for CA_3A-7A with state-of-the-art technology, an increase in power consumption of the UE may be required. It is also expected that as the state-of-the-art technology evolves in the future, this possible power consumption increase can be reduced or eliminated.

NOTE 1: The above additional tolerances are only applicable for the E-UTRA operating bands that belong to the supported inter-band carrier aggregation configurations

NOTE 2: The above additional tolerances also apply in non-aggregated operation for the supported E-UTRA operating bands that belong to the supported inter-band carrier aggregation configurations

NOTE 3: Unless otherwise specified, in case the UE supports more than one of the above 3DL inter-band carrier aggregation configurations and a E-UTRA operating band belongs to more than one 3DL inter-band carrier aggregation configurations then:

– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is ≤ 1GHz and the tolerances are the same, the value applies to the band. If the tolerances are different, the applicable additional 3DL tolerance is FFS. In case there is a harmonic relation between low band UL and high band DL, then the maximum tolerance among the different supported 3DL carrier aggregation configurations involving such band shall be applied

– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is >1GHz, the applicable additional 3DL tolerance shall be the maximum tolerance above that applies for that operating band among the supported 3DL CA configurations.

NOTE 4: The above additional tolerances applicable for the E-UTRA operating bands that belong to the supported highest order inter-band carrier aggregation configuration, also applies to the same E-UTRA operating bands that belong to a supported lower order CA configuration.

NOTE 5: The requirement is specified for the frequency range of 2545-2690MHz.

NOTE 6: The requirement is specified for the frequency range of 2496-2545MHz.

NOTE 7: For UE supporting E-UTRA band 65 and CA configurations including Band 1, the Band 65 ΔTIB,c is the max(Band 65 ΔTIB,c , Band 1 ΔTIB,c)

NOTE 8: Only applicable for UE supporting inter-band carrier aggregation with the uplink active in Band 1 or Band 42.

NOTE 9: Only applicable for UE supporting inter-band carrier aggregation with uplink in one E-UTRA band and without simultaneous Rx/Tx on Band 41 and Band 42.

NOTE 3: Tolerances for a UE supporting multiple 5DL inter-band CA configurations are FFS.

NOTE 4: The above additional tolerances applicable for the E-UTRA operating bands that belong to the supported highest order inter-band carrier aggregation configuration, also applies to the same E-UTRA operating bands that belong to a supported lower order CA configuration.

NOTE: The above additional tolerances do not apply to supported UTRA operating bands with frequency range below 1 GHz that correspond to the E-UTRA operating bands that belong to the supported inter-band carrier aggregation configurations when such bands are belonging only to band combination(s) where one band is <1GHz and other bands are >1.7GHz and there is no harmonic relationship between the low band UL and high band DL. Otherwise the above additional tolerances also apply to supported UTRA operating bands that correspond to the E-UTRA operating bands that belong to the supported inter-band carrier aggregation configurations.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 36.101 [2] clause 6.2.5.

6.2.5.4 Test description

6.2.5.4.1 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 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 6.2.5.4.1-1. 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: 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: For the uplink RB allocation the RBstart shall be RB #0.

1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, in Figure A.3.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 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 channel is set according to Table 6.2.5.4.1-1

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 6.2.5.4.3.

6.2.5.4.2 Test procedure

1. 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 6.2.5.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

2. Send transmit uplink power control "up" commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE; allow at least 200ms for the UE to reach the Pumax level of the test point.

3. Measure the mean power of the UE in the channel bandwidth for each test point in table 6.2.5.5-1 according to the test configuration from Table 6.2.5.4.1-1. The period of measurement shall be at least continuous duration of one sub-frame (1ms). For TDD slots with transient periods are not under test.

Note: In addition note 2 in Table 6.2.2.3-1 shall apply to the tolerances.

For the UE which supports inter-band carrier aggregation configurations with uplink assigned to one E-UTRA band the ΔTIB,c in Tables 6.2.5.3-2, 6.2.5.3-3 and 6.2.5.3-4 shall be applied for applicable bands.

In case the UE supports more than one of the above inter-band carrier aggregation configurations and an E-UTRA operating band belongs to more than one inter-band carrier aggregation configurations then:

– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is ≤ 1GHz, the applicable additional tolerance shall be the average of the tolerances in Table 6.2.5.3-2, truncated to one decimal place for that operating band among the supported CA configurations. In case there is a harmonic relation between low band UL and high band DL, then the maximum tolerance among the different supported carrier aggregation configurations involving such band shall be applied

– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is >1GHz, the applicable additional tolerance shall be the maximum tolerance in Table 6.2.5.3-2 that applies for that operating band among the supported CA configurations.
