6.3.5G.1 Power Control Absolute power tolerance for V2X Communication / Non-concurrent with E-UTRA uplink transmissions

6.3.5G.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 when performing V2X sidelink Communication non-concurrent with E-UTRA uplink transmissions.

6.3.5G.1.2 Test applicability

This test case applies to all types of UE that support V2X Sidelink communication and Band 47.

6.3.5G.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements

When UE is configured for E-UTRA V2X sidelink transmissions non-concurrent with E-UTRA uplink transmissions for E-UTRA V2X operating bands specified in Table 5.2G-1, the absolute power tolerance requirements is given in Table 6.3.5G.1.3-1 over the power range bounded by the Maximum output power as defined in subclause 6.2.2G and the Minimum output power as defined in subclause 6.3.2G. specified in subclause 6.3.5.1 shall apply for each V2X transmission.

For operating bands under NOTE 2 in Table 6.2.2-1, the absolute power tolerance as specified in Table 6.3.5G.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.
