6.3.3B UE Transmit OFF power for UL-MIMO

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

Tools: ARFCN - Frequency Conversion for 5G NR/LTE/UMTS/GSM

6.3.3B.1 Test purpose

To verify that the UE transmit OFF power for UL-MIMO is lower than the value specified in the test requirement.

Transmission of the wrong power increases interference to other channels, or increases transmission errors in the uplink channel.

6.3.3B.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply in test cases 6.3.4B.1 General ON/OFF time mask to all types of E-UTRA UE release 10 and forward that support UL-MIMO

6.3.3B.3 Minimum conformance requirement

The transmit OFF power is defined as the mean power at each transmit connector in a duration of at least one sub-frame (1ms) excluding any transient periods. The transmit OFF power at each transmit connector shall not exceed the values specified in Table 6.3.3B.3-1.

Table 6.3.3B.3-1: Transmit OFF power per antenna port

	Channel bandwidth / Minimum output power/ Measurement bandwidth
	1.4 MHz	3.0 MHz	5 MHz	10 MHz	15 MHz	20 MHz
Transmit OFF power	-50 dBm
Measurement bandwidth	1.08 MHz	2.7 MHz	4.5 MHz	9.0 MHz	13.5 MHz	18 MHz

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 36.101 [2] clause 6.3.3B.1.

6.3.3B.4 Test description

This test is covered by clause 6.3.4B.1 General ON/OFF time mask.

6.3.3B.5 Test requirement

The requirement for the transmit OFF power at each transmit antenna connector shall not exceed the values specified in Table 6.3.3B.5-1.

Table 6.3.3B.5-1: Transmit OFF power

	Channel bandwidth / Transmit OFF power / measurement bandwidth
	1.4 MHz	3.0 MHz	5 MHz	10 MHz	15 MHz	20 MHz
Transmit OFF power	For carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz: ≤ -48.5 dBm For carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz: ≤ -48.2 dBm
Measurement bandwidth	1.08 MHz	2.7 MHz	4.5 MHz	9.0 MHz	13.5 MHz	18 MHz
