6.3.4A.0 Minimum conformance requirements
For inter-band carrier aggregation with uplink assigned to two E-UTRA bands and intra-band contiguous and non-contiguous carrier aggregation, the general output power ON/OFF time mask specified in subclause 6.3.4.1.3 is applicable for each component carrier during the ON power period and the transient periods. The OFF period as specified in subclause 6.3.4.1.3 shall only be applicable for each component carrier when all the component carriers are OFF.
The normative references for this requirement are TS 36.101 [2] clauses 6.3.4A and 6.3.4.
6.3.4A.1 General ON/OFF time mask for CA
6.3.4A.1.1 General ON/OFF time mask for CA (intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA)
6.3.4A.1.1.1 Test purpose
To verify that the general ON/OFF time mask for CA meets the requirements given in 6.3.4A.1.1.5.
The time mask for transmit ON/OFF for CA defines the ramping time allowed for the UE between transmit OFF power and transmit ON power for CA.
Transmission of the wrong power increases interference to other channels, or increases transmission errors in the uplink channel.
6.3.4A.1.1.2 Test applicability
This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 10 and forward that support intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA.

6.3.4A.1.1.4.1 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 CC combinations based on E UTRA CA configurations specified in table 5.4.2A.1-1. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each CA Configuration, and are shown in table 6.3.4A.1.1.4.1-1. The details of the uplink and downlink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annexe A.2 and A3. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2.

Note 1: CA Configuration Test CC Combination settings are checked separately for each CA Configuration, which applicable aggregated channel bandwidths are specified in Table 5.4.2A.1-1 Note 2: If the UE supports multiple CC Combinations in the CA Configuration with the same NRB_agg , only the combination with the highest NRB_PCC is tested. |
||||||||
1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A Figure group A.32 as appropriate.
2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.4.3.
3. Downlink signals for PCC 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 6.3.4A.1.1.4.1-1.
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 6.3.4A.1.1.4.3.
6.3.4A.1.1.4.2 Test procedure
1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.0 for all downlink physical channels.
2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 6.3.4A.1.1.4.3.
3. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC-CE (Refer TS 36.321 [13], clauses 5.13, 6.1.3.8). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 36.133, clauses 8.3.3.2).
4. SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.3.4A.1.1.4.1-1 on both PCC and SCC. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. The each UL assignment is such that the UE transmits on UL sub-frame 2 of every radio frame.
5. For FDD: Measure the UE transmission OFF power for each component carrier during the sub-frame prior to the PUSCH subframe. For TDD: Measure the UE transmission OFF power during the 10 SCFDMA symbols prior to the PUSCH subframe.
6. Measure the output power of the UE PUSCH transmission for each component carrier during one sub-frame, excluding a transient period of 20 µs at the beginning of the subframe.
7. Measure the UE transmission OFF power for each component carrier during one sub-frame following the PUSCH subframe, excluding a transient period of 20 µs at the beginning of the subframe.

Note 1: CA Configuration Test CC Combination settings are checked separately for each CA Configuration, which applicable aggregated channel bandwidths are specified in Table 5.4.2A.1-1 Note 2: If in the CA Configuration UE supports multiple CC Combinations with the same NRB_agg , only the first of those is tested, according to the order on the Test Configuration Table list. |

1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A Figure group A.32 as appropriate.
2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.4.3.
3. Downlink signals for PCC 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 6.3.4A.1.4.4.1-1.
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 6.3.4A.1.4.4.3.
6.3.4A.1.4.4.2 Test procedure
1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.0 for all downlink physical channels.
2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 6.3.4A.1.4.4.3.
3. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC-CE (Refer TS 36.321 [13], clauses 5.13, 6.1.3.8). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 36.133, clauses 8.3.3.2).
4. SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.3.4A.1.4.4.1-1 on both PCC and SCC. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. The each UL assignment is such that the UE transmits on UL sub-frame 2 of every radio frame.
5. For FDD: Measure the UE transmission OFF power for each component carrier during the sub-frame prior to the PUSCH subframe. For TDD: Measure the UE transmission OFF power during the 10 SCFDMA symbols prior to the PUSCH subframe.
6. Measure the output power of the UE PUSCH transmission for each component carrier during one sub-frame, excluding a transient period of 20 µs at the beginning of the subframe.
7. Measure the UE transmission OFF power for each component carrier during one sub-frame following the PUSCH subframe, excluding a transient period of 20 µs at the beginning of the subframe.

6.3.4A.1.5 General ON/OFF time mask for CA (4UL CA)
6.3.4A.1.5.1 Test purpose
To verify that the general ON/OFF time mask for CA (4UL CA) meets the requirements given in 6.3.4A.1.5.5.
The time mask for transmit ON/OFF for CA (4UL CA) defines the ramping time allowed for the UE between transmit OFF power and transmit ON power for CA.
Transmission of the wrong power increases interference to other channels, or increases transmission errors in the uplink channel.
6.3.4A.1.5.2 Test applicability
This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 11 and forward that support 4DL CA and 4UL CA.
6.3.4A.1.5.3 Minimum conformance requirements
The minimum conformance requirements are defined in clause 6.3.4A.0.
6.3.4A.1.5.4 Test description
6.3.4A.1.5.4.1 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 CC combinations based on E UTRA CA configurations specified in table 5.4.2A.1-4. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each CA Configuration, and are shown in table 6.3.4A.1.5.4.1-1. The details of the uplink and downlink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annexe A.2 and A3. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2.
