6.2.5FA.1 Test purpose

Same test purpose as in clause 6.2.5F.1.

6.2.5FA.2 Test applicability

This test case applies to all types of NB-IoT FDD Power Class 6 UE release 14 and forward of category NB1 and NB2.

This test case applies to all types of NB-IoT TDD Power Class 6 UE release 15 and forward of category NB1 and NB2.

6.2.5FA.3 Minimum conformance requirements

For each slot i the NB IoT UE is allowed to set its configured maximum output power P_CMAX,c. The configured maximum output power P_CMAX,c is set within the following bounds:

P_{CMAX_L,c} ≤ P_CMAX,c ≤ P_{CMAX_H,c}

Where

– P_{CMAX_L,c} = MIN { P_EMAX,c , P_PowerClass – MPR_c – A-MPR_c}

– P_{CMAX_H,c} = MIN { P_EMAX,c, P_PowerClass}

– P_EMAX,c is the value given to IE P-Max, defined in [7]

– P_PowerClass is the maximum category NB1 and NB2 UE power specified in Table 6.2.2FA.3-1 without taking into account the associated tolerance

– MPR_c is specified in subclause 6.2.3FA

 A-MPR_c = 0dB unless otherwise stated.

The measurement period for P_UMAX,c is at least one sub-frame (1ms) for 15 KHz channel spacing, and at least a 2ms slot (excluding the 2304Ts gap when UE is not transmitting) respectively for the 3.75 KHz channel spacing. The measured maximum output power P_UMAX,c shall be within the following bounds:

P_{CMAX_L,c} – T(P_{CMAX_L,c}) ≤ P_UMAX,c ≤ P_{CMAX_H,c} + T(P_{CMAX_H,c})

Where T(P_CMAX) is defined by the tolerance table below and applies to P_{CMAX_L,c} and P_{CMAX_H,c} separately.

Table 6.2.5FA.3-1: P_CMAX tolerance for power class 6

PCMAX,c (dBm)	Tolerance T(PCMAX,c) (dB)
13 ≤ PCMAX,c ≤ 14	2.5
12 ≤ PCMAX,c < 13	3.5
11 ≤ PCMAX,c < 12	4.0
8 ≤ PCMAX,c < 11	5.0
5 ≤ PCMAX,c < 8	6.0
-40 ≤ PCMAX,c < 5	7.0
