Note 1: DC Configuration Test CC Combination settings are checked separately for each DC Configuration, which applicable aggregated channel bandwidths are specified in Table 5.4.2A.1-2. Note 2: If the UE supports multiple CC Combinations in the CA Configuration with the same N_{RB_agg}, only the combination with the highest NRB_PCC is tested. Note 3: The UL allocation is changed as part of the test procedure. The Test Configuration Table entries list the combinations used, with the sequence of usage as determined by the test procedure for each sub-test. Note 4: The starting resource block shall be RB# 0.

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 MCG CC 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 6.3.5A.1.2.4.1-1.

5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0.

6. Ensure the UE is in State 3A-RF-DC1 according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.2A. Message contents are defined in clause 6.3.5C.2.2.4.3.

6.3.5C.2.4.2 Test procedure

1. Configure SCG CC according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.0 for all downlink physical channels with a time offset of +33 us compared to PCC.

3. SS activates SCG CC 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, clause 8.3.3.2).

4. The procedure is separated in various subtests to verify different aspects of relative power control on both MCG CC and SCG CC individually. The power patterns of the subtests are shown in figure 6.3.5C.2.4.2-1 to 6.3.5C.2.4.2-4. In this test case, the term P_{CMAX_L} – MAX{T_L, T_LOW(P_{CMAX_L}) } defined in TS 36.101 [2] clause 6.2.5A is used, to ensure the UE is not tested outside its power capability.

5. Sub test: ramping up pattern

5.1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table A.2.2.2.1-1 (FDD) or Table A.2.3.2.1-1 (TDD) on both CC. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. Send the appropriate TPC commands for PUSCH on each component carrier to the UE to ensure that the UE transmits PUSCH on the MCG CC and on the SCG CC at -36.8dBm +/- 3.2 dB for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or at -36.5dBm +/- 3.5 dB for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.

5.2. Schedule the UE’s PUSCH data transmission on each component carrier as described in Figure 6.3.5C.2.4.2-1 (FDD pattern A: sub-test is divided in 4 arbitrary radio frames with 10 active uplink sub-frames per radio frame) and Figure 6.3.5C.2.4.2-3 (TDD pattern A: sub-test is divided in 10 arbitrary radio frames with 4 active uplink sub-frames per radio frame) with an uplink RB allocation as defined in tables 6.3.5C.2.5-1 thru 6.3.5C.2.5-12 depending on CC combinations. On the PDCCH format 0 for the scheduling of the PUSCH the SS will transmit a +1dB TPC command on both CCs separately. Note that the measurement need not be done continuously, provided that interruptions are whole numbers of frames, and TPC commands of 0dB are sent during the interruption.

5.3. Measure the power of PUSCH transmissions on both CCs separately to verify the UE relative power control meet test requirements 6.3.5C.2.5. For power transients between subframes, transient periods of 40us between subframes are excluded. For ON/OFF or OFF/ON transients, transient periods of 20 us at the beginning of the subframe are excluded. Calculate the Total uplink power across both CCs. If (P_{CMAX_L}– MAX{T_L, T_LOW(P_{CMAX_L}) } – Total uplink power) < 0.7dB, stop ramping, exclude the last measurement and go to step 5.4.5.4. Repeat the subtest different pattern B, C to move the RB allocation change at different points in the pattern as described in Table 6.3.5C.2.5-1 thru Table 6.3.5C.2.5-12 to force bigger UE power steps at various points in the power range.

6. Sub test: ramping down pattern

6.1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table A.2.2.2.1-1 (FDD) or Table A.2.3.2.1-1 (TDD) on both CCs. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. Send the appropriate TPC commands for PUSCH on each component carrier to the UE to ensure that the UE transmits PUSCH on the MCG CC and on the SCG CC at +15.0dBm +/- 3.2 dB for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or at +14.7dBm +/- 3.5 dB for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.

6.2. Schedule the UE’s PUSCH data transmission as described in Figure 6.3.5C.2.4.2-2 (FDD pattern A: sub-test is divided in 4 arbitrary radio frames with 10 active uplink sub-frames per radio frame) and Figure 6.3.5C.2.4.2-4 (TDD pattern A: sub-test is divided in 10 arbitrary radio frames with 4 active uplink sub-frames per radio frame) with an uplink RB allocation as defined in tables 6.3.5C.2.2.5-1 thru 6.3.5C.2.5-12 depending on CC combinations. On the PDCCH format 0 for the scheduling of the PUSCH the SS will transmit a -1dB TPC command on both CCs separately. Note that the measurement need not be done continuously, provided that interruptions are whole numbers of frames, and TPC commands of 0dB are sent during the interruption.

6.3. Measure the power of PUSCH transmissions on both CCs separately to verify the UE relative power control meet test requirements 6.3.5.2.5. For power transients between subframes, transient periods of 40us between subframes are excluded. For ON/OFF or OFF/ON transients, transient periods of 20 us at the beginning of the subframe are excluded.

6.4. Repeat the subtest different pattern B, C to move the RB allocation change at different points in the pattern as described in Table 6.3.5C.2.5-1 thru Table 6.3.5C.2.5-12 to force bigger UE power steps at various points in the power range.

6.3.5C.2.5 Test requirement

Each UE power step measured in the test procedure 6.3.5C.2.4.2 should satisfy the test requirements specified in Table 6.3.5C.2.5-1, thru 6.3.5C.2.5-12 for normal conditions.

To account for RF Power amplifier mode changes 2 exceptions are allowed for each of ramping up and ramping down test patterns on both PCC and SCC separately. For these exceptions the power tolerance limit is a maximum of ±6.7 dB. If there is an exception in the power step caused by the RB change for all test patterns (A, B, C) then fail the UE.

Note 1: DC Configuration Test CC Combination settings are checked separately for each DC Configuration, which applicable aggregated channel bandwidths are specified in Table 5.4.2A.1-2. Note 2: If the UE supports multiple CC Combinations in the CA Configuration with the same N_{RB_agg}, only the combination with the highest NRB_PCC is tested. Note 3: The UL allocation is changed as part of the test procedure. The Test Configuration Table entries list the combinations used, with the sequence of usage as determined by the test procedure for each sub-test. Note 4: The starting resource block shall be RB# 0.

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 MCG CC 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 6.3.5C.2_1.4.1-1.

5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0.

6. Ensure the UE is in State 3A-RF-DC1 according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.2A. Message contents are defined in clause 6.3.5C.2_1.4.3.

6.3.5C.2_1.4.2 Test procedure

1. Configure SCG CC according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.0 for all downlink physical channels with a time offset of +500 us compared to PCC.

3. SS activates SCG CC 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, clause 8.3.3.2).

4. The procedure is separated in various subtests to verify different aspects of relative power control on both MCG CC and SCG CC individually. The power patterns of the subtests are shown in figure 6.3.5C.2_1.4.2-1 to 6.3.5C.2_1.4.2-4. In this test case, the term P_{CMAX_L} – MAX{T_L, T_LOW(P_{CMAX_L}) } defined in TS 36.101 [2] clause 6.2.5A is used, to ensure the UE is not tested outside its power capability.

Figure 6.3.5C.2_1.4.2-4: TDD ramping down test power patterns

5. Sub test: ramping up pattern

5.2. Schedule the UE’s PUSCH data transmission on each component carrier as described in Figure 6.3.5C.2_1.4.2-1 (FDD pattern A: sub-test is divided in 4 arbitrary radio frames with 10 active uplink sub-frames per radio frame) and Figure 6.3.5C.2_1.4.2-3 (TDD pattern A: sub-test is divided in 10 arbitrary radio frames with 4 active uplink sub-frames per radio frame) with an uplink RB allocation as defined in tables 6.3.5C.2_1.5-1 thru 6.3.5C.2_1.5-12 depending on CC combinations. On the PDCCH format 0 for the scheduling of the PUSCH the SS will transmit a +1dB TPC command on both CCs separately. Note that the measurement need not be done continuously, provided that interruptions are whole numbers of frames, and TPC commands of 0dB are sent during the interruption.

5.3. Measure the power of PUSCH transmissions on both CCs separately to verify the UE relative power control meet test requirements 6.3.5C.2_1.5. For power transients between subframes, transient periods of 40us between subframes are excluded. For ON/OFF or OFF/ON transients, transient periods of 20 us at the beginning of the subframe are excluded. Calculate the Total uplink power across both CCs. If (P_{CMAX_L}– MAX{T_L, T_LOW(P_{CMAX_L}) } – Total uplink power) < 0.7dB, stop ramping, exclude the last measurement and go to step 5.4.5.4. Repeat the subtest different pattern B, C to move the RB allocation change at different points in the pattern as described in Table 6.3.5C.2_1.5-1 thru Table 6.3.5C.2_1.5-12 to force bigger UE power steps at various points in the power range.

6. Sub test: ramping down pattern

6.2. Schedule the UE’s PUSCH data transmission as described in Figure 6.3.5C.2_1.4.2-2 (FDD pattern A: sub-test is divided in 4 arbitrary radio frames with 10 active uplink sub-frames per radio frame) and Figure 6.3.5C.2_1.4.2-4 (TDD pattern A: sub-test is divided in 10 arbitrary radio frames with 4 active uplink sub-frames per radio frame) with an uplink RB allocation as defined in tables 6.3.5C.2_1.5-1 thru 6.3.5C.2_1.5-12 depending on CC combinations. On the PDCCH format 0 for the scheduling of the PUSCH the SS will transmit a -1dB TPC command on both CCs separately. Note that the measurement need not be done continuously, provided that interruptions are whole numbers of frames, and TPC commands of 0dB are sent during the interruption.

6.4. Repeat the subtest different pattern B, C to move the RB allocation change at different points in the pattern as described in Table 6.3.5C.2_1.5-1 thru Table 6.3.5C.2_1.5-12 to force bigger UE power steps at various points in the power range.
