6.3.4EA.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 channel bandwidths based on E-UTRA operating bands specified in clause 5.2E. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each channel bandwidth, and are shown in table 6.3.4EA.1.4.1-1. The details of the uplink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annexes A.2. Configurations of PDSCH and MPDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2

Note 1: Denote where in the channel bandwidth the narrowband shall be placed. Narrowband and narrowband index are defined in TS 36.211, 5.2.4.

1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A 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 and DL Reference Measurement channels are set according to Table 6.3.4EA.1.4.1-1.

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 6.3.4EA.1.4.3. Note that MPDCCH DCI format 6-0A sent after resetting uplink power with RRC Connection Reconfiguration, should have TPC command 0dB.

6.3.4EA.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. The SS sends uplink scheduling information via MPDCCH DCI format 6-0A with TPC command 0dB for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.3.4EA.1.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. For FDD and TDD: The UL assignment is such that the UE transmits on UL sub-frame 2 of every radio frame. For HD-FDD: The UL assignment is such that the UE transmits on UL sub-frame 5 of every radio frame.

2. For FDD and HD-FDD: Measure the UE transmission OFF power 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.

3. Measure the output power of the UE PUSCH transmission during one sub-frame, excluding a transient period of 20 µs at the beginning of the subframe.

4. Measure the UE transmission OFF power during one sub-frame following the PUSCH subframe, excluding a transient period of 20 µs at the beginning of the subframe.
