6.2.5EA.4 Test description
6.2.5EA.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 5.2E. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each channel bandwidth, and are shown in table 6.2.5EA.4.1-1. The details of the uplink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annex A.2. Configurations of PDSCH and MPDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2.

1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, in Figure A.3 using only main UE Tx/Rx antenna.
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 6.2.5EA.4.1-1
5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0.
6. Ensure the UE is in State 3A-RF-CE according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.2AA. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2.5EA.4.3.
6.2.5EA.4.2 Test procedure
1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via MPDCCH DCI format 6-0A for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.2.5EA.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 6.2.5EA.5-1 for power class 3 and table 6.2.5EA.5-2 for power class 5 according to the test configuration from Table 6.2.5EA.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. For HD-FDD slots with transient periods and Half-duplex guard subframe are not under test.

Message contents are according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.6 with the following exceptions:
