6.3.5E.2.4.2 Test procedure
The procedure is separated in various subtests to verify different aspects of relative power control. The power patterns of the subtests are described in figure 6.3.5E.2.4.2-1.

Figure 6.3.5E.2.4.2-6: HD-FDD ramping down test power patterns
Figure 6.3.5E.2.4.2-7: Alternating Test Power patterns
1. Sub test: ramping up pattern
1.1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 for C_RNTI to schedule the PUSCH. 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 to the UE to ensure that the UE transmits PUSCH 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.
1.2. Schedule the UE’s PUSCH data transmission as described in Figure 6.3.5E.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 6.3.5E.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 6.3.5E.2.5-1 thru 6.3.5E.2.5-12 depending on channel bandwidth. On the PDCCH format 0 for the scheduling of the PUSCH the SS will transmit a +1dB TPC command. 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.
1.3. Measure the power of PUSCH transmissions to verify the UE relative power control meet test requirements 6.3.5E.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.
1.4. Repeat the subtest different pattern B, C to move the RB allocation change at different points in the pattern as described in Table 6.3.5E.2.5-1 thru Table 6.3.5E.2.5-12 to force bigger UE power steps at various points in the power range.
2. Sub test: ramping down pattern
2.1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 for C_RNTI to schedule the PUSCH. 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 to the UE to ensure that the UE transmits PUSCH at +18.0dBm +/- 3.2 dB for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or at +17.7dBm +/- 3.5 dB for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.
2.2. Schedule the UE’s PUSCH data transmission as described in Figure 6.3.5E.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 6.3.5E.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 6.3.5E.2.5-1 thru 6.3.5E.2.5-12 depending on channel bandwidth. On the PDCCH format 0 for the scheduling of the PUSCH the SS will transmit a -1dB TPC command. 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.
2.3. Measure the power of PUSCH transmissions to verify the UE relative power control meet test requirements 6.3.5E.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.
2.4. Repeat the subtest different pattern B, C to move the RB allocation change at different points in the pattern as described in Table 6.3.5E.2.5-1 thru Table 6.3.5E.2.5-12 to force bigger UE power steps at various points in the power range.
3. Sub test: alternating pattern
3.1 SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 for C_RNTI to schedule the PUSCH. 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 to the UE to ensure that the UE transmits PUSCH at -10dBm +/- 3.2 dB for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or at -10dBm +/- 3.5 dB for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz. The initial uplink RB allocation is defined as the smaller uplink RB allocation value specified in tables 6.3.5E.2.5-13. The power level and RB allocation are reset for each sub-test.
3.2. Schedule the UE’s PUSCH data transmission as described in Figure 6.3.5E.2.4.2-5for 10 sub-frames with an uplink RB allocation alternating pattern as defined in table 6.3.5E.2.5-13 while transmitting 0dB TPC command for PUSCH via the PDCCH.
3.3. Measure the power of PUSCH transmissions to verify the UE relative power control meet test requirements specified in clause 6.3.5E.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.

6.3.5E.3.4.2 Test procedure
Each UE power step measured in the test procedure 6.3.5E.2.4.2 should satisfy the test requirements specified in Table 6.3.5E.2.5-1, thru 6.3.5E.2.5-13 for normal conditions; for extreme conditions an additional ± 2.0 dB relaxation is allowed.
To account for RF Power amplifier mode changes 2 exceptions are allowed for each of ramping up and ramping down test patterns. 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.

The procedure is separated in two subtests to verify PUCCH and PUSCH aggregate power control tolerance respectively. The uplink transmission patterns are described in figure 6.3.5E.3.4.2-1.
Figure 6.3.5: E.3.4.2-1 Test uplink transmission
1. PUCCH sub test:
1.1 The SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 6.3.5E.3.4.1-1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. The transmission of PDSCH will make the UE send uplink ACK/NACK using PUCCH. Send the appropriate TPC commands for PUCCH to the UE to ensure that the UE transmits PUCCH at 0dBm +/- 3.2 dB for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or at 0dBm +/- 3.5 dB for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.
1.2. Every 5 subframes transmit to the UE downlink PDSCH MAC padding bits as well as 0 dB TPC command for PUCCH via the PDCCH to make the UE transmit ACK/NACK on the PUCCH with transmission gap of 4 subframes. The downlink transmission is scheduled in the appropriate sub-frames to make the UE transmit PUCCH as described in figure 6.3.5E.3.4.2-1.
1.3. Measure the power of 5 consecutive PUCCH transmissions to verify the UE transmitted PUCCH power is maintained within 21 ms. The transient periods of 20us are excluded from the power measurement.
2. PUSCH sub test:
2.1. The SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0 for C_RNTI to schedule the PUSCH. 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 to the UE to ensure that the UE transmits PUSCH at 0dBm +/- 3.2.dB for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or at 0dBm +/- 3.5 dB for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.
2.2. Every 5 subframes schedule the UE’s PUSCH data transmission and transmit 0 dB TPC command for PUSCH via the PDCCH to make the UE transmit PUSCH with 4 subframes gap. The uplink transmission patterns are described in figure 6.3.5E.3.4.2-1.
2.3. Measure the power of 5 consecutive PUSCH transmissions to verify the UE transmitted PUSCH power is maintained within 21 ms. The transient periods of 20us are excluded from the power measurement.
