The requirements in this clause apply with PCC and SCC in the UL configured and activated: PCC with PRB allocation and SCC without PRB allocation and without CSI reporting and SRS configured.

6.5.2A.1 Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) for CA

6.5.2A.1.0 Minimum conformance requirements

For inter-band carrier aggregation, EVM measurements are evaluated for each component carrier, and for the different modulations schemes, the EVM requirements shall not exceed the values specified in Table 6.5.2.1.3-1, if CA is configured in uplink.

For the intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation, EVM measurements are evaluated for each component carrier, and for the different modulations schemes, the EVM requirements shall not exceed the values specified in Table 6.5.2A.1.0-1, if CA is configured in uplink.

For the intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation, EVM measurements are evaluated for each component carrier, and for the different modulations schemes, the EVM requirements shall not exceed the values specified in Table 6.5.2A.1.0-1, if CA is configured in uplink.

When a single component carrier is configured Table 6.5.2.1.3-1 apply.

The EVM requirements are according to Table 6.5.2A.1.0-1 if CA is configured in uplink with the parameters defined in Table 6.5.2.1.3-2 and 6.5.2.1_2.3-2 for 256QAM.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 36.101 [2] clause 6.5.2A.1.

6.5.2A.1.1 Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) for CA (intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA)

6.5.2A.1.1.1 Test Purpose

For the intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation, the Error Vector Magnitude requirement should be defined for each component carrier. Requirement applies for the allocated component carrier, when all other component carriers are activated, but not allocated.

Similar transmitter impairment removal procedures are applied for CA waveform before EVM calculation as is specified for non-CA waveform in sub-section 6.5.2.1.

6.5.2A.1.1.2 Test applicability

This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 10 and forward that support intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA.

6.5.2A.1.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements

The minimum conformance requirements are defined in clause 6.5.2A.1.0.

6.5.2A.1.1.4 Test description

6.5.2A.1.1.4.1 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 CC combinations based on E‑UTRA CA configurations specified in table 5.4.2A.1-1. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each CA Configuration, and are shown in table 6.5.2A.1.1.4.1-1. The details of the uplink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annexe A.2. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2.

Note 1: CA Configuration Test CC Combination settings are checked separately for each CA Configuration which applicable aggregated channel bandwidths are specified in Table 5.4.2A.1-1.

Note 2: If the UE supports multiple CC Combinations in the CA Configuration with the same NRB_agg, only the combination with the highest NRB_PCC is tested.

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] 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 Reference Measurement channel is set according to Table 6.5.2A.1.1.4.1-1.

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

6. Ensure the UE is in State 3A-RF according to TS 36.508 [7] clause [5.2A.2]. Message contents are defined in clause 6.5.2A.1.1.4.3.

6.5.2A.1.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.0 for all downlink physical channels.

2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 6.5.2A.3.2.4.3.

3. SS activates SCC 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, clauses 8.3.3.2).

4. 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 6.5.2A.1.1.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

5. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE until the UE transmits at PUMAX level.

6. Measure the EVM and on PCC using Global In-Channel Tx-Test (Annex E).

7. Send the appropriate TPC commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE until UE output power is –36.8dBm ±3.2dB for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or -36.5dBm ±3.5 dB for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.

8. Measure the EVM and on PCC using Global In-Channel Tx-Test (Annex E).

6.5.2A.1.1.4.3 Message contents

Message contents are according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.6. In test procedure step 2, for SCC configuration there are no additional message contents.

Note 1: CA Configuration Test CC Combination settings are checked separately for each CA Configuration which applicable aggregated channel bandwidths are specified in Table 5.4.2A.1-1.

Note 2: If in the CA Configuration UE supports multiple CC Combinations with the same NRB_agg, only the first of those is tested, according to the order on the Test Configuration Table list.

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] 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 Reference Measurement channel is set according to Table 6.5.2A.1.1_2.4.1-1.

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

6. Ensure the UE is in State 3A-RF according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.2. Message contents are defined in clause 6.5.2A.1.1_2.4.3.

6.5.2A.1.1_2.4.2 Test procedure

Same as in clause 6.5.2A.1.1.4.2 with the following exceptions:

– Instead of Table 6.5.2A.1.1.4.1-1 🡪 use Table 6.5.2A.1.1_2.4.1-1.

– Instead of UE output power -36.8dBm ±3.2dB 🡪 -26.8dBm ±3.2dB for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz.

– Instead of UE output power -36.5dBm ±3.5dB 🡪 -26.5dBm ±3.5dB for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.

6.5.2A.1.1_2.4.3 Message contents

Message contents are according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.6. For SCC configuration there are no additional message contents.

6.5.2A.1.1_2.5 Test requirement

The PUSCH EVM derived in Annex E.4.2 shall not exceed the values in Table 6.5.2.1_2.5-1 for 256QAM.

The PUSCH derived in Annex E.4.6.2 shall not exceed the values in Table 6.5.2.1_2.5-1 when embedded with data symbols of 256QAM.

6.5.2A.1.2 Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) for CA (inter-band DL CA and UL CA)

6.5.2A.1.2.1 Test Purpose

For the inter-band carrier aggregation, the Error Vector Magnitude requirement should be defined for each component carrier. Requirement applies for the allocated component carrier, when all other component carriers are activated, but not allocated.

Similar transmitter impairment removal procedures are applied for CA waveform before EVM calculation as is specified for non-CA waveform in sub-section 6.5.2.1.

6.5.2A.1.2.2 Test applicability

This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA UE Release 11 and forward that support inter-band DL CA and UL CA.

This test case also applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 14 and forward that supports uplink LAA.

6.5.2A.1.2.3 Minimum conformance requirements

The minimum conformance requirements are defined in clause 6.5.2A.1.0.

6.5.2A.1.2.4 Test description

6.5.2A.1.2.4.1 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 CC combinations based on E‑UTRA CA configurations specified in table 5.4.2A.1-2. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each CA Configuration, and are shown in table 6.5.2A.1.2.4.1-1. The details of the uplink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annexe A.2. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2.

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] 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 RMC is set according to Table 6.5.2A.1.2.4.1-1.

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

6. Ensure the UE is in State 3A-RF according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.2. Message contents are defined in clause 6.5.2A.1.2.4.3.

6.5.2A.1.2.4.2 Test procedure

1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.0 for all downlink physical channels.

2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 6.5.2A.3.2.4.3.

3. SS activates SCC 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, clauses 8.3.3.2).

4. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 (or DCI format 0A for SCC in the case of uplink LAA) for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.5.2A.1.2.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

5. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE until the UE transmits at PUMAX level.

6. Measure the EVM and on PCC using Global In-Channel Tx-Test (Annex E).

7. Send the appropriate TPC commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE until UE output power is –36.8dBm ±3.2dB for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or -36.5dBm ±3.5 dB for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.

8. Measure the EVM and on PCC using Global In-Channel Tx-Test (Annex E).

Note 1: CA Configuration Test CC Combination settings are checked separately for each CA Configuration, which applicable aggregated channel bandwidths are specified in Table 5.4.2A.1-3.

Note 2: If the UE supports multiple CC Combinations in the CA Configuration with the same NRB_agg , only the combination with the highest NRB_PCC is tested.

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] 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 RMC is set according to Table 6.5.2A.1.3.4.1-1.

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

6. Ensure the UE is in State 3A-RF according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.2. Message contents are defined in clause 6.5.2A.1.3.4.3.

6.5.2A.1.3.4.2 Test procedure

Test procedures should be as follows:

1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.0 for all downlink physical channels.

2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 6.5.2A.3.2.4.3.

3. SS activates SCC 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, clauses 8.3.3.2).

4. 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 6.5.2A.1.3.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

5. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE until the UE transmits at PUMAX level.

6. Measure the EVM and on PCC using Global In-Channel Tx-Test (Annex E).

7. Send the appropriate TPC commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE until UE output power is –36.8dBm ±3.2dB for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or -36.5dBm ±3.5 dB for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.

8. Measure the EVM and on PCC using Global In-Channel Tx-Test (Annex E).

Note 1: CA Configuration Test CC Combination settings are checked separately for each CA Configuration which applicable aggregated channel bandwidths are specified in Table 5.4.2A.1-2.

Note 2: The frequencies of PCC and SCCs shall be switched and tested in each configuration.

1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508[7] Annex A, Figure A.55 as appropriate.

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 Reference Measurement channel is set according to Table 6.5.2A.1.4.4.1-1 to 6.5.2A.1.4.4.1-2.

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

6. Ensure the UE is in State 3A-RF according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.2. Message contents are defined in clause 6.5.2A.1.4.4.3.

6.5.2A.1.4.4.2 Test procedure

1. Configure SCCs according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.0 for all downlink physical channels.

2. The SS shall configure SCCs as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 6.5.2A.1.4.4.3.

3. SS activates SCCs 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, clauses 8.3.3.2).

4. 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 6.5.2A.1.4.4.1-1 to 6.5.2A.1.4.4.1-2. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

5. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE until the UE transmits at PUMAX level.

6. Measure the EVM and on PCC using Global In-Channel Tx-Test (Annex E).

7. Send the appropriate TPC commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE until UE output power is –36.8dBm ±3.2dB for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or -36.5dBm ±3.5 dB for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.

8. Measure the EVM and on PCC using Global In-Channel Tx-Test (Annex E).

6.5.2A.1.4.4.3 Message contents

Message contents are according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.6. In test procedure step 2, for SCCs configuration there are no additional message contents.

6.5.2A.1.4.5 Test requirement

The PUSCH EVM derived in E.4.2 shall not exceed 17,5 % for QPSK and BPSK, 12,5% for 16 QAM.

The PUSCH derived in E.4.6.2 shall not exceed 17,5 % when embedded with data symbols of QPSK and BPSK, 12,5% for 16 QAM.

6.5.2A.1.5 Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) for CA (4UL CA)

6.5.2A.1.5.1 Test Purpose

The Error Vector Magnitude requirement should be defined for each component carrier. Requirement applies for the allocated component carrier, when all other component carriers are activated, but not allocated.

Similar transmitter impairment removal procedures are applied for CA waveform before EVM calculation as is specified for non-CA waveform in sub-section 6.5.2.1.

6.5.2A.1.5.2 Test applicability

This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 11 and forward that support 4DL CA and 4UL CA.

6.5.2A.1.5.3 Minimum conformance requirements

The minimum conformance requirements are defined in clause 6.5.2A.1.0.

6.5.2A.1.5.4 Test description

6.5.2A.1.5.4.1 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 CC combinations based on E‑UTRA CA configurations specified in table 5.4.2A.1. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each CA Configuration, and are shown in table 6.5.2A.1.5.4.1-1 to 6.5.2A.1.5.4.1-2. The details of the uplink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annexe A.2. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2.

Note 1: CA Configuration Test CC Combination settings are checked separately for each CA Configuration which applicable aggregated channel bandwidths are specified in Table 5.4.2A.1-2.

Note 2: The frequencies of PCC and SCC shall be switched and tested in each configuration.

1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508[7] Annex A, Figure A.55 as appropriate.

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 Reference Measurement channel is set according to Table 6.5.2A.2.4.4.1-1 to 6.5.2A.2.4.4.1-2.

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

6. Ensure the UE is in State 3A-RF according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.2. Message contents are defined in clause 6.5.2A.2.4.4.3.

6.5.2A.2.4.4.2 Test procedure

1. Configure SCCs according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.0 for all downlink physical channels.

2. The SS shall configure SCCs as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 6.5.2A.2.4.4.3.

6.5.2A.2.5.1 Test Purpose

Carrier leakage is an additive sinusoid waveform that is confined within the aggregated transmission bandwidth configuration. The carrier leakage requirement is defined for each component carrier and is measured on the component carrier with PRBs allocated. The measurement interval is one slot in the time domain.

6.5.2A.2.5.2 Test applicability

This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 11 and forward that support 4DL CA and 4UL CA.

6.5.2A.2.5.3 Minimum conformance requirements

The minimum conformance requirements are defined in clause 6.5.2A.2.0.

6.5.2A.2.5.4 Test description

6.5.2A.2.5.4.1 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 CC combinations based on E‑UTRA CA configurations specified in table 5.4.2A.1. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each CA Configuration, and are shown in table 6.5.2A.2.5.4.1-1 to 6.5.2A.2.5.4.1-2. The details of the uplink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annexe A.2. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2.

6.5.2A.2.5.4.2 Test procedure

1. Configure SCCs according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.0 for all downlink physical channels.

2. The SS shall configure SCCs as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 6.5.2A.2.5.4.3.

3. SS activates SCCs 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, clauses 8.3.3.2).

4. 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 6.5.2A.2.5.4.1-1 to 6.5.2A.2.5.4.1-2. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

5. Send the appropriate TPC commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE until UE output power is 3.2 dBm ±3.2dB for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or 3.5dBm ±3.5 dB for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.

6. Measure carrier leakage on PCC using Global In-Channel Tx-Test (Annex E). For TDD slots with transient periods are not under test.

7. Send the appropriate TPC commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE until UE output power is -26.8 dBm ±3.2dB for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or -26.5dBm ±3.5 dB for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.

8. Measure carrier leakage on PCC using Global In-Channel Tx-Test (Annex E). For TDD slots with transient periods are not under test.

9. Send the appropriate TPC commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE until UE output power is -36.8dBm ±3.2dB for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or -36.5dBm ±3.5 dB for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.

10. Measure carrier leakage on PCC using Global In-Channel Tx-Test (Annex E). For TDD slots with transient periods are not under test.

6.5.2A.3 In-band emissions for non allocated RB for CA

6.5.2A.3.0 Minimum conformance requirements

For inter-band carrier aggregation with uplink assigned to two E-UTRA bands, the requirements shall apply on each component carrier as defined in clause 6.5.2 with all component carriers active. If two contiguous component carriers are assigned to one E-UTRA band, the requirements in subclauses 6.5.2A.1, 6.5.2A.2, and 6.5.2A.3 apply for those component carriers.

The requirements in this clause apply with PCC and SCC in the UL configured and activated: PCC with PRB allocation and SCC without PRB allocation and without CSI reporting and SRS configured.

For intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation bandwidth class B and C, the requirements in Table 6.5.2A.3.0-1 and 6.5.2A.3.0-2 apply within the aggregated transmission bandwidth configuration with both component carrier (s) active and one single contiguous PRB allocation of bandwidth at the edge of the aggregated transmission bandwidth configuration.

The inband emission is defined as the interference falling into the non allocated resource blocks for all component carriers. The measurement method for the inband emissions in the component carrier with PRB allocation is specified in annex F. For a non allocated component carrier a spectral measurement is specified.

For intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation the requirements for in-band emissions should be defined for each component carrier. Requirements only apply with PRB allocation in one of the component carriers according to Table 6.5.2.3.3.

NOTE 1: An in-band emissions combined limit is evaluated in each non-allocated RB. For each such RB, the minimum requirement is calculated as the higher of PRB – 30 dB and the power sum of all limit values (General, IQ Image or Carrier leakage) that apply. PRB is defined in NOTE 9. The limit is evaluated in each non-allocated RB.

6.5.2A.3.1 In-band emissions for non allocated RB for CA (intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA)

6.5.2A.3.1.1 Test Purpose

The in-band emissions are a measure of the interference falling into the non-allocated resources blocks.

For an allocated component carrier, the in-band emission is defined as the average across 12 sub-carrier and as a function of the RB offset from the edge of the allocated UL transmission bandwidth. The in-band emission is measured as the ratio of the UE output power in a non–allocated RB to the UE output power in an allocated RB. The basic in-band emissions measurement interval is defined over one slot in the time domain. When the PUSCH or PUCCH transmission slot is shortened due to multiplexing with SRS, the in-band emissions measurement interval is reduced by one SC-FDMA symbol, accordingly.

For a non allocated component carrier a spectral measurement is specified.

6.5.2A.3.1.2 Test applicability

This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 10 and forward that support intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA.

6.5.2A.3.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements

The minimum conformance requirements are defined in clause 6.5.2A.3.0.

6.5.2A.3.1.4 Test description

6.5.2A.3.1.4.1 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 CC combinations based on E‑UTRA CA configurations specified in table 5.4.2A.1-1. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each CA Configuration, and are shown in table 6.5.2A.3.1.4.1-1. The details of the uplink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annexe A.2. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2.

Note 1: CA Configuration Test CC Combination settings are checked separately for each CA Configuration, which applicable aggregated channel bandwidths are specified in Table 5.4.2A.1-1.

Note 2: Applicable only for PCC-SCC: CC1-CC2.

Note 3: Applicable only for PCC-SCC: CC2-CC1.

Note 4: If the UE supports multiple CC Combinations in the CA Configuration with the same NRB_agg , only the combination with the highest NRB_PCC is tested.

1. Connect the SS to the UE 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] subclause 4.4.3.

3. Downlink signals for PCC are initially set up according to Annex C0, C.1 and C.3.0, and uplink signals according to Annex H.1 and H.3.0.

4. The UL Reference Measurement channels are set according to in Table 6.5.2A.3.1.4.1-1.

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

6. Ensure the UE is in State 3A-RF according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.2. Message contents are defined in clause 6.5.2A.3.1.4.3.

6.5.2A.3.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.0 for all downlink physical channels.

2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 6.5.2A.3.1.4.3.

3. SS activates SCC 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, clauses 8.3.3.2).

4. 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 6.5.2A.3.1.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

5. Send the appropriate TPC commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE until UE output power is 3.2 dBm ±3.2dB for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or 3.5dBm ±3.5 dB for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.

6. Measure In-band emission on PCC using Global In-Channel Tx-Test (Annex E). Measure power spectral density on the SCC. For TDD slots with transient periods are not under test.

7. Send the appropriate TPC commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE until UE output power is -26.8 dBm ±3.2dB for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or -26.5dBm ±3.5 dB for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.

8. Measure In-band emission on PCC using Global In-Channel Tx-Test (Annex E). Measure power spectral density on the SCC. For TDD slots with transient periods are not under test.

9. Send the appropriate TPC commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE until UE output power is to -36.8 dBm ±3.2dB for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or -36.5dBm ±3.5 dB for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.

10. Measure In-band emission on PCC using Global In-Channel Tx-Test (Annex E). Measure power spectral density on the SCC. For TDD slots with transient periods are not under test.

6.5.2A.3.1.4.3 Message contents

Message contents are according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.6. In test procedure step 2, for SCC configuration there are no additional message contents.

6.5.2A.3.1.5 Test requirement

Each of the 20 In-band emissions results, derived in Annex E.4.3 shall not exceed the corresponding values in Table 6.5.2A.3.1.5-1.

Note 1: CA Configuration, Test CC Combination settings are checked separately for each CA Configuration, which applicable aggregated channel bandwidths for uplink LAA are specified in Table 5.4.2A.1-2.

Note 2: For eLAA SCC, the RBstart and L are defined in TS 36.213[10] clause 8.1.4.

6.5.2A.3.2.4.2 Test procedure

1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.0 for all downlink physical channels.

2 The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 6.5.2A.3.2.4.3.

3 SS activates SCC 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, clauses 8.3.3.2).

4. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 (or DCI format 0A for SCC in the case of uplink LAA) for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.5.2A.3.2.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

5. Send the appropriate TPC commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE until UE output power is 13.2 dBm ±3.2dB for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or 13.5dBm ±3.5 dB for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.

6. Measure In-band emission on PCC using Global In-Channel Tx-Test (Annex E). For TDD slots with transient periods are not under test.

7. Send the appropriate TPC commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE until UE output power is 3.2 dBm ±3.2dB for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or 3.5dBm ±3.5 dB for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.

8. Measure In-band emission on PCC using Global In-Channel Tx-Test (Annex E). For TDD slots with transient periods are not under test.

9. Send the appropriate TPC commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE until UE output power is -26.8 dBm ±3.2dB for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or -26.5dBm ±3.5 dB for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.

10. Measure In-band emission on PCC using Global In-Channel Tx-Test (Annex E). For TDD slots with transient periods are not under test.

11. Send the appropriate TPC commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE until UE output power is to -36.8 dBm ±3.2dB for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or -36.5dBm ±3.5 dB for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.

12. Measure In-band emission on PCC using Global In-Channel Tx-Test (Annex E). For TDD slots with transient periods are not under test.

6.5.2A.3.2.4.3 Message contents

Message contents are according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.6. In test procedure step 2, for SCC configuration there are no additional message contents.

For SCC in the case of uplink LAA, message contents are according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause4.6 with the exceptions specified in Tables 6.5.2A.1.2.4.3-1 and 6.5.2A.1.2.4.3-2.

6.5.2A.3.2.5 Test requirement

Each of the 20 In-band emissions results, derived in Annex E.4.3 shall not exceed the corresponding values in Table 6.5.2A.3.2.5-1.

NOTE 1: An in-band emissions combined limit is evaluated in each non-allocated RB. For each such RB, the minimum requirement is calculated as the higher of PRB – 29.2 dB and the power sum of all limit values (General, IQ Image or Carrier leakage) that apply. PRB is defined in Note 10.

NOTE 2: The measurement bandwidth is 1 RB and the limit is expressed as a ratio of measured power in one non-allocated RB to the measured average power per allocated RB, where the averaging is done across all allocated RBs.

NOTE 3: The applicable frequencies for this limit are those that are enclosed in the reflection of the allocated bandwidth, based on symmetry with respect to the centre carrier frequency, but excluding any allocated RBs.

NOTE 4: The measurement bandwidth is 1 RB and the limit is expressed as a ratio of measured power in one non-allocated RB to the measured total power in all allocated RBs.

NOTE 5: The applicable frequencies for this limit are those that are enclosed in the RBs containing the DC frequency if is odd, or in the two RBs immediately adjacent to the DC frequency if is even, but excluding any allocated RB.

NOTE 6: is the Transmission Bandwidth (see Figure 5.4.2-1).

NOTE 7: is the Transmission Bandwidth Configuration (see Figure 5.4.2-1).

NOTE 8: is the limit specified in Table 6.5.2.1.3-1 for the modulation format used in the allocated RBs.

NOTE 9: is the starting frequency offset between the allocated RB and the measured non-allocated RB (e.g. or for the first adjacent RB outside of the allocated bandwidth.

NOTE 10: is the transmitted power per 180 kHz in allocated RBs, measured in dBm.

Note 1: CA Configuration Test CC Combination settings are checked separately for each CA Configuration which applicable aggregated channel bandwidths are specified in Table 5.4.2A.1-2.

Note 2: The frequencies of PCC and SCC shall be switched and tested in each configuration.

6.5.2A.3.4.4.2 Test procedure

1. Configure SCCs according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.0 for all downlink physical channels.

2. The SS shall configure SCCs as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 6.5.2A.3.4.4.3.

3. SS activates SCCs 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, clauses 8.3.3.2).

4. 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 6.5.2A.3.4.4.1-1 to 6.5.2A.3.4.4.1-2. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

5. Send the appropriate TPC commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE until UE output power is 3.2 dBm ±3.2dB for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or 3.5dBm ±3.5 dB for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.

6. Measure carrier leakage on PCC using Global In-Channel Tx-Test (Annex E). For TDD slots with transient periods are not under test.

7. Send the appropriate TPC commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE until UE output power is -26.8 dBm ±3.2dB for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or -26.5dBm ±3.5 dB for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.

8. Measure carrier leakage on PCC using Global In-Channel Tx-Test (Annex E). For TDD slots with transient periods are not under test.

9. Send the appropriate TPC commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE until UE output power is -36.8dBm ±3.2dB for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or -36.5dBm ±3.5 dB for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.

10. Measure carrier leakage on PCC using Global In-Channel Tx-Test (Annex E). For TDD slots with transient periods are not under test.

NOTE 1: An in-band emissions combined limit is evaluated in each non-allocated RB. For each such RB, the minimum requirement is calculated as the higher of PRB – 29.2 dB and the power sum of all limit values (General, IQ Image or Carrier leakage) that apply. PRB is defined in Note 10.

NOTE 2: The measurement bandwidth is 1 RB and the limit is expressed as a ratio of measured power in one non-allocated RB to the measured average power per allocated RB, where the averaging is done across all allocated RBs.

NOTE 3: The applicable frequencies for this limit are those that are enclosed in the reflection of the allocated bandwidth, based on symmetry with respect to the centre carrier frequency, but excluding any allocated RBs.

NOTE 4: The measurement bandwidth is 1 RB and the limit is expressed as a ratio of measured power in one non-allocated RB to the measured total power in all allocated RBs.

NOTE 5: The applicable frequencies for this limit are those that are enclosed in the RBs containing the DC frequency if is odd, or in the two RBs immediately adjacent to the DC frequency if is even, but excluding any allocated RB.
