6.3.5F.1 Power Control Absolute power tolerance for category NB1 and NB2
6.3.5F.1.1 Test purpose
To verify the ability of the UE transmitter to set its initial output power to a specific value at the start of a contiguous transmission or non-contiguous transmission with a long transmission gap, i.e. transmission gap is larger than 20 ms.
6.3.5F.1.2 Test applicability
This test case applies to all types of NB-IoT FDD UE release 13 and forward of category NB1.
This test case applies to all types of NB-IoT FDD UE release 14 and forward of category NB2.
This test case applies to all types of NB-IoT TDD UE release 15 and forward of category NB1 and NB2.
6.3.5F.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements
Absolute power tolerance is the ability of the UE transmitter to set its initial output power to a specific value for the first sub-frame at the start of a contiguous transmission or non-contiguous transmission with a transmission gap larger than 20ms.
The minimum requirement for absolute power tolerance is given in Table 6.3.5F.1.3-1 over the power range bounded by the Maximum output power as defined in subclause 6.2.2 and the Minimum output power as defined in subclause 6.3.2.
For operating bands under NOTE 2 in Table 6.2.2-1, the absolute power tolerance as specified in Table 6.3.5F.1.3-1 is relaxed by reducing the lower limit by 1.5 dB when the transmission bandwidth is confined within FUL_low and FUL_low + 4 MHz or FUL_high – 4 MHz and FUL_high.

6.3.5F.2.1 Test purpose
To verify the ability of the UE transmitter to set its output power relatively to the power in a target sub-frame relatively to the power of the most recently transmitted reference sub-frame if the transmission gap between these sub-frames is ≤ 20 ms.
6.3.5F.2.2 Test applicability
This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA FDD UE release 13 and forward of category NB1.
This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA FDD UE release 14 and forward of category NB2.
This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA TDD UE release 15 and forward of category NB1 and NB2.
6.3.5F.2.3 Minimum conformance requirements
Category NB1 and NB2 UE relative power control requirement is defined for NPRACH power step values of 0, 2, 4 and 6 dB. For NPRACH transmission, the relative tolerance is the ability of the UE transmitter to set its output power relatively to the power of the most recently transmitted preamble. The measurement period for the NPRACH preamble is specified in Table 6.3.4F.2.3-1.
The requirements specified in Table 6.3.5F.2.3-1 apply when the power of the target and reference sub-frames are within the power range bounded by the Minimum output power as defined in subclause 6.3.2F and the maximum output power as defined in subclause 6.2.2F.

NOTE: For extreme conditions an additional ± 2.0 dB relaxation is allowed. |
The power step (ΔP) is defined as the difference in the calculated setting of the UE Transmit power between the target and reference sub-frames. The error is the difference between ΔP and the power change measured at the UE antenna port with the power of the cell-specific reference signals kept constant. The error shall be less than the relative power tolerance specified in Table 6.3.5F.2.3-1.

6.3.5F.3.4.2 Test procedure
The procedure is separated in two subtests to verify single tone and multi tone NPUSCH aggregate power control tolerance respectively. The uplink transmission patterns are described in figure 6.3.5F.3.4.2-1.
Figure 6.3.5F.3.4.2-1 Test uplink transmission for HD-FDD
Figure 6.3.5F.3.4.2-2 Test uplink transmission for TDD
For single tone NPUSCH transmission scenario:
1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via NPDCCH DCI format N0 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.3.5F.3.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.
2. Schedule the UE’s NPUSCH data transmission for period containing SI message transmission according to Annex A.2.4 and make the UE transmit NPUSCH with 32 or 48 slots (16 or 24 ms) gap for HD-FDD or 46 slots (23ms) gap for TDD. Uplink scheduling grant is transmitted via NPDCCH 9 subframes before NPUSCH transmission.
3. Measure the power of 5 consecutive NPUSCH transmissions to verify the UE transmitted NPUSCH power is maintained within 112 ms for HD-FDD or 177ms for TDD. The transient periods of 20us are excluded from the power measurement.
4. Repeat step 2 and 3 for configuration ID 2 in Table 6.3.5F.3.4.1-1.
For 12 tones NPUSCH transmission scenario:
0. SS release the connection through State 3A-NB and finally ensure the UE is in State 2A-NB with CP CIoT Optimisation according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 8.1.5 and configure the UE to the new UL power level with messages in Table 6.3.5F.3.4.3-2.
1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via NPDCCH DCI format N0 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.3.5F.3.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.
2. Schedule the UE’s NPUSCH data transmission for period where there is no transmission of SI messages according to Annex A.2.4 and make the UE transmit NPUSCH with 28, 30 or 32 slots (14, 15 or 16 ms) gap for HD-FDD or 38 slots (19ms) for TDD. Uplink scheduling grant is transmitted via NPDCCH 9 subframes before NPUSCH transmission.
3. Measure the power of 5 consecutive NPUSCH transmissions to verify the UE transmitted NPUSCH power is maintained within 65 ms for HD-FDD or 81 ms for TDD. The transient periods of 20us are excluded from the power measurement.
