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

6.3.3F.1 Test purpose

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

6.3.3F.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply in test cases 6.3.4F.1 General ON/OFF time mask for category NB1 and NB2 and 6.3.4F.2 NPRACH time mask for category NB1 and NB2 to all types of NB-IoT FDD UE release 13 and forward of category NB1.

The requirements of this test apply in test cases 6.3.4F.1 General ON/OFF time mask for category NB1 and NB2 and 6.3.4F.2 NPRACH time mask for category NB1 and NB2 to all types of NB-IoT FDD UE release 14 and forward of category NB2.

The requirements of this test apply in test cases 6.3.4F.1 General ON/OFF time mask for category NB1 and NB2 and 6.3.4F.2 NPRACH time mask for category NB1 and NB2 to all types of NB-IoT UE release 14 and forward of category NB2.

6.3.3F.3 Minimum conformance requirement

For category NB1 and NB2 UE the transmit OFF power requirement for the channel bandwidth is -50 dBm. For 3.75 kHz sub-carrier spacing the transmit OFF power is defined as mean power in one slot (2ms) excluding the 2304Ts gap when UE is not transmitting. For 15 kHz sub-carrier spacing the transmit OFF power is defined as mean power in one sub-frame (1ms).

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

6.3.3F.4 Test description

This test is covered by clause 6.3.4F.1 General ON/OFF time mask for category NB1 and NB2 and 6.3.4F.2 NPRACH time mask for category NB1 and NB2.

6.3.3F.5 Test requirement

The requirement for the transmit OFF power shall not exceed the values of -48.5 dBm for the channel bandwidth of category NB1 and NB2.
