7.3 Reference sensitivity level

36.521-13GPPEvolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA)Part 1: Conformance testingRadio transmission and receptionRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) conformance specification

Editor’s note: FDD/TDD aspects missing or not yet determined:

– The Maximum Sensitivity Degradation figures for large transmission configurations are not finalised in the core specification.

– This clause is also incomplete for CA_42A-46A and CA_7A-8A-20.

– ΔRIB,c is in square brackets (awaiting for RAN4 decision).

– Clarification to the use of signalling the non-default Tx-Rx separation of 295MHz for Band 70 testing is under discussion.

7.3.1 Test purpose

To verify the UE’s ability to receive data with a given average throughput for a specified reference measurement channel, under conditions of low signal level, ideal propagation and no added noise.

A UE unable to meet the throughput requirement under these conditions will decrease the effective coverage area of an e-NodeB.

7.3.2 Test applicability

This test applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 8 and forward.

7.3.3 Minimum conformance requirements

The throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annexes A.2.2, A.2.3 and A.3.2 (with one sided dynamic OCNG Pattern OP.1 FDD/TDD for the DL-signal as described in Annex A.5.1.1/A.5.2.1) with parameters specified in Table 7.3.3-1 and Table 7.3.3-2.

Note 1: The transmitter shall be set to PUMAX as defined in subclause 6.2.5.

Note 2: The Reference measurement channel is A.3.2 with one sided dynamic OCNG Pattern OP.1 FDD/TDD as described in Annex A.5.1.1/A.5.2.1

Note 3: The signal power is specified per port

Note 4: For the UE which supports both Band 3 and Band 9 the reference sensitivity level is FFS.

Note 5: For the UE which supports both Band 11 and Band 21 the reference sensitivity level is FFS.

Note 6: 6 indicates that the requirement is modified by -0.5 dB when the carrier frequency of the assigned E-UTRA channel bandwidth is within 865-894 MHz.

Note 7: For a UE that support both Band 18 and Band 26, the reference sensitivity level for Band 26 applies for the applicable channel bandwidths.

Note 8: 8 indicates that the requirement is modified by -0.5 dB when the assigned E-UTRA channel bandwidth is confined within 1475.9-1510.9 MHz.

For UE(s) equipped with 4 antenna ports, the minimum requirement for reference sensitivity in Table 7.3.3-1 shall be modified by the amount given in ΔRIB,4R in Table 7.3.3-1a for the applicable E-UTRA bands.

NOTE 1: The transmitter shall be set to PUMAX as defined in subclause 6.2.5

NOTE 2: Reference measurement channel is A.3.2 with one sided dynamic OCNG Pattern OP.1 FDD/TDD as described in Annex A.5.1.1/A.5.2.1

NOTE 3: The signal power is specified per port.

The reference receive sensitivity (REFSENS) requirement specified in Table 7.3.3-1 (two antenna ports) and Table 7.3.3-1a (four antenna ports) shall be met for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to that specified in Table 7.3.3-2.

NOTE: Table 7.3.3-2 is intended for conformance tests and does not necessarily reflect the operational conditions of the network, where the number of uplink and downlink allocated resource blocks will be practically constrained by other factors. Typical receiver sensitivity performance with HARQ retransmission enabled and using a residual BLER metric relevant for e.g. Speech Services is given in the Annex G of TS 36.101 [2] (informative).

For the UE which supports inter-band carrier aggregation configuration with the uplink in one or two E-UTRA bands, the minimum requirement for reference sensitivity in Table 7.3.3-1 and Table 7.3.3-1a shall be increased by the amount given in ΔRIB,c in Table 7.3.3-1A, Table 7.3.3-1B and Table 7.3.3-1C for the applicable E-UTRA bands where unless otherwise stated, the same ΔRIB,c is applicable to E-UTRA band(s) part for CA configurations which have the same E-UTRA operating band combination.

NOTE 1: The above additional tolerances are only applicable for the E-UTRA operating bands that belong to the supported inter-band carrier aggregation configurations

NOTE 2: The above additional tolerances also apply in intra-band and non-aggregated operation for the supported E-UTRA operating bands that belong to the supported inter-band carrier aggregation configurations.

NOTE 3: In case the UE supports more than one of the above 2DL inter-band carrier aggregation configurations and a E-UTRA operating band belongs to more than one 2DL inter-band carrier aggregation configurations then:
– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is ≤ 1GHz, the applicable additional tolerance shall be the average of the 2DL tolerances in Table 7.3.3-1A, truncated to one decimal place that would apply for that operating band among the supported 2DL CA configurations. In case there is a harmonic relation between low band UL and high band DL, then the maximum tolerance among the different supported 2DL carrier aggregation configurations involving such band shall be applied
– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is >1GHz, the applicable additional tolerance shall be the maximum 2DL tolerance in Table 7.3.3-1A that would apply for that operating band among the supported 2DL CA configurations

NOTE 4: Only applicable for UE supporting inter-band carrier aggregation with uplink in one E-UTRA band and without simultaneous Rx/Tx.

NOTE 5: Unless otherwise specified, in case the UE supports more than one of the above 3DL inter-band carrier aggregation configurations and a E-UTRA operating band belongs to more than one 3DL inter-band carrier aggregation configurations then:

– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is ≤ 1GHz and the tolerances are the same, the value applies to the band. If the tolerances are different, the applicable additional 3DL tolerance is FFS. In case there is a harmonic relation between low band UL and high band DL, then the maximum tolerance among the different supported 3DL carrier aggregation configurations involving such band shall be applied.

– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is >1GHz, the applicable additional 3DL tolerance shall be the maximum tolerance above that applies for that operating band among the supported 3DL CA configurations.

NOTE 6: The above additional tolerances applicable for the E-UTRA operating bands that belong to the supported highest order inter-band carrier aggregation configuration, also applies to the same E-UTRA operating bands that belong to a supported lower order CA configuration.

NOTE 7: Applicable for UE supporting inter-band carrier aggregation without simultaneous Rx/Tx.

NOTE 8: Only applicable for UE supporting inter-band carrier aggregation with the uplink active in the FDD band.

NOTE 9: For Band 28, the requirements only apply for the restricted frequency range specified for this CA configuration (Table 5.2A-2).

NOTE 10: The requirement is applied for UE transmitting on the frequency range of 2545-2690MHz.

NOTE 11: The requirement is applied for UE transmitting on the frequency range of 2496-2545MHz.

NOTE 12: For UE supporting E-UTRA band 42, 43 or 48 and CA configurations including Band 42, 43 or 48, the applicable ΔRIB,c in Band 42, 43, or 48 is the max(Band 42 ΔRIB,c , Band 43 ΔRIB,c, Band 48 ΔRIB,c).

NOTE 13: Only applicable for UE supporting inter-band carrier aggregation with the uplink active in Band 8.

NOTE: To meet the ΔRIB,c requirements for CA_20A-28A state-of-the-art filter combiner technology is needed.

NOTE 1: The above additional tolerances are only applicable for the E-UTRA operating bands that belong to the supported inter-band carrier aggregation configurations.

NOTE 2: The above additional tolerances also apply in intra-band and non-aggregated operation for the supported E-UTRA operating bands that belong to the supported inter-band carrier aggregation configurations.

NOTE 3: Unless otherwise specified, in case the UE supports more than one of the above 3DL inter-band carrier aggregation configurations and a E-UTRA operating band belongs to more than one 3DL inter-band carrier aggregation configurations then:

– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is ≤ 1GHz and the tolerances are the same, the value applies to the band. If the tolerances are different, the applicable additional 3DL tolerance is FFS. In case there is a harmonic relation between low band UL and high band DL, then the maximum tolerance among the different supported 3DL carrier aggregation configurations involving such band shall be applied.

– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is >1GHz, the applicable additional 3DL tolerance shall be the maximum tolerance above that applies for that operating band among the supported 3DL CA configurations.

NOTE 4: The above additional tolerances applicable for the E-UTRA operating bands that belong to the supported highest order inter-band carrier aggregation configuration, also applies to the same E-UTRA operating bands that belong to a supported lower order CA configuration.

NOTE 5: The requirement is specified for the frequency range of 2545-2690MHz.

NOTE 6: The requirement is specified for the frequency range of 2496-2545MHz.

NOTE 7: Only applicable for UE supporting inter-band carrier aggregation with the uplink active in Band 1 or Band 42.

NOTE 8: Only applicable for UE supporting inter-band carrier aggregation with uplink in one E-UTRA band and without simultaneous Rx/Tx on Band 41 and Band 42.

NOTE 9: Applicable for UE supporting inter-band carrier aggregation without simultaneous Rx/Tx among TDD bands.

NOTE 10: Only applicable for UE supporting inter-band carrier aggregation with the uplink active in Band 1 or Band 8.

NOTE 11: Only applicable for UE supporting inter-band carrier aggregation with the uplink active in Band 3 or Band 8.

NOTE 12: Applicable for UE supporting inter-band carrier aggregation without simultaneous Rx/Tx among TDD bands.

NOTE 13: Applicable for UE supporting inter-band carrier aggregation without simultaneous Rx/Tx among TDD bands.

NOTE 14: Only applicable for UE supporting inter-band carrier aggregation with the uplink active in Band 8 or Band 41.

NOTE 15: For UE supporting E-UTRA band 42, 43 or 48 and CA configurations including Band 42, 43 or 48, the applicable ΔRIB,c in Band 42, 43, or 48 is the max(Band 42 ΔRIB,c , Band 43 ΔRIB,c, Band 48 ΔRIB,c).

NOTE 16: Only applicable for UE supporting inter-band carrier aggregation with the uplink active in Band 8 or Band 11.

NOTE17: Only applicable for UE supporting inter-band carrier aggregation with uplink in one E-UTRAN band and without simultaneous Rx/Tx on Band 39 and Band 41.

NOTE 18: Only applicable for UE supporting inter-band carrier aggregation with uplink in one E-UTRA band and without simultaneous Rx/Tx among TDD bands.

NOTE 1: The above additional tolerances are only applicable for the E-UTRA operating bands that belong to the supported inter-band carrier aggregation configurations.

NOTE 2: The above additional tolerances also apply in intra-band and non-aggregated operation for the supported E-UTRA operating bands that belong to the supported inter-band carrier aggregation configurations.

NOTE 3: Tolerances for a UE supporting multiple 5DL inter-band CA configurations are FFS.

NOTE 4: The above additional tolerances applicable for the E-UTRA operating bands that belong to the supported highest order inter-band carrier aggregation configuration, also applies to the same E-UTRA operating bands that belong to a supported lower order CA configuration.

NOTE: The above additional tolerances do not apply to supported UTRA operating bands with frequency range below 1 GHz that correspond to the E-UTRA operating bands that belong to the supported inter-band carrier aggregation configurations when such bands are belonging only to band combination(s) where one band is <1GHz and other bands are >1.7GHz and there is no harmonic relationship between the low band UL and high band DL. Otherwise the above additional tolerances also apply to supported UTRA operating bands that correspond to the E-UTRA operating bands that belong to the supported inter-band carrier aggregation configurations.

7.3.4 Test description

7.3.4.1 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 channel bandwidths based on E-UTRA bands specified in table 5.4.2.1-1. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each channel bandwidth, and are shown in tables 7.3.4.1-1 and 7.3.4.1-2. The details of the downlink and uplink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annexes A.2 and A.3. The details of the OCNG patterns used are specified in Annex A.5. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2.

Note 1: Test Channel Bandwidths are checked separately for each E-UTRA band, which applicable channel bandwidths are specified in Table 5.4.2.1-1.

Note 2. Depending on E-UTRA band, only the appropriate Uplink RB allocation value according to table 7.3.3-2 is tested per Test Channel Bandwidth. The allocation shall be located as close as possible to the downlink operating band but confined within the transmission bandwidth configuration for the channel bandwidth (Table 5.4.2-1).

Note 3: For the DL signal one sided dynamic OCNG Pattern OP.1 FDD/TDD is used.

Note 4: Applicable only to E-UTRA FDD Bands 31 and 72. The UL resource blocks shall be located at RBstart 10 (according to Table 7.3.3-2).

Note 5: For E-UTRA FDD Band 24, above configurations be used to verify reference sensitivity for both Tx-Rx frequency separations specified in Table 5.3-1

Note 1: Test Channel Bandwidths are checked separately for each E-UTRA band, which applicable channel bandwidths are specified in Table 5.4.2.1-1.

Note 2. The UL allocation shall be located as close as possible to the downlink operating band but confined within the transmission bandwidth configuration for the channel bandwidth (Table 5.4.2-1).

Note 3: For the DL signal one sided dynamic OCNG Pattern OP.1 FDD/TDD is used.

Note 4: The additional configurations shall verify reference sensitivity requirements with the UE TX-RX frequency separation of 295MHz (table 5.3-1).

1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure A.3.

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 C0, C.1 and C.3.1, and uplink signals according to Annex H.1 and H.3.1.

4. The UL and DL Reference Measurement channels are set according to Tables 7.3.4.1-1 and 7.3.4.1-2.

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 7.3.4.3.

7.3.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.3.4.1-1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.

2. 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 Tables 7.3.4.1-1 and 7.3.4.1-2. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

3. Set the Downlink signal level to the appropriate REFSENS value defined in Table 7.3.5-1. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE to ensure the UE transmits PUMAX level for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement.

4. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G.2.

7.3.4.3 Message contents

Message contents are according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.6 with the following exceptions.

7.3.4.3.1 Message contents exceptions (network signalled value "NS_01")

Message contents according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.6 can be used without exceptions.

Note 1: The transmitter shall be set to maximum output power level (Table 7.3.5-2)

Note 2: The reference measurement channel is specified in A.3.2 with one sided dynamic OCNG Pattern OP.1 FDD/TDD as described in Annex A.5.1.1/A.5.2.1

Note 3: The signal power is specified per port

Note 4: For the UE which supports both Band 3 and Band 9 the reference sensitivity level is FFS.

Note 5: For the UE which supports both Band 11 and Band 21 the reference sensitivity level is FFS.

Note 6: 6 indicates that the requirement is modified by -0.5 dB when the carrier frequency of the assigned E-UTRA channel bandwidth is within 865-894 MHz.

Note 7: For a UE that support both Band 18 and Band 26, the reference sensitivity level for Band 26 applies for the applicable channel bandwidths.

Note 8: 8 indicates that the requirement is modified by -0.5 dB when the assigned E-UTRA channel bandwidth is confined within 1475.9-1510.9 MHz.

For the UE which supports inter-band carrier aggregation configurations the ΔRIB,c in Tables 7.3.3-1A, 7.3.3-1B and 7.3.3-1C shall be applied for applicable bands.

In case the UE supports more than one of the inter-band carrier aggregation configurations and a E-UTRA operating band belongs to more than one inter-band carrier aggregation configurations then:

– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is ≤ 1GHz, the applicable additional tolerance shall be the average of the tolerances in Table 7.3.3-1A, truncated to one decimal place that would apply for that operating band among the supported CA configurations. In case there is a harmonic relation between low band UL and high band DL (i.e. bands listed in Table 7.3A.0-0a), then the maximum tolerance among the different supported carrier aggregation configurations involving such band shall be applied

– When the E-UTRA operating band frequency range is >1GHz, the applicable additional tolerance shall be the maximum tolerance in Table 7.3.3-1A that would apply for that operating band among the supported CA configurations

NOTE 1: The relation to the received PSD is with NRB is the transmission bandwidth configuration according to Table 5.4.2-1.

The reference receive sensitivity (REFSENS) requirement specified in Table 7.3.5-1 shall be met for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to that specified in Table 7.3.5-2.

NOTE 2: Table 7.3.5-2 does not necessarily reflect the operational conditions of the network, where the number of uplink and downlink allocated resource blocks will be practically constrained by other factors.
