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

Editor’s note: Following aspects missing or not yet determined:

– Test configuration table is under investigating

– Test requirement for some CA configuration is TBD

7.3A.11.1 Test purpose

Same as in clause 7.3A.1.1.

7.3A.11.2 Test applicability

This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA UE and forward that support 6DL with CA configurations in Table 7.1-2d.

7.3A.11.3 Minimum conformance requirements

The minimum conformance requirements are defined in clause 7.3A.0.

7.3A.11.4 Test description

7.3A.11.4.1 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 CA configurations specified in table 5.4.2A.1-1 through table 5.4.2A.1-2a. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each channel bandwidth, and are shown in table 7.3A.11.4.1-1 through table 7.3A.11.4.1-2 as appropriate. The details of the uplink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annex A.2 and A.3. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2.

Note 1: CA Configuration Test CC Combination test settings are checked separately for each CA Configuration.

Note 2: Intra-band contiguous & Intra-band contiguous + Inter-band: Use CA Configuration – specific test points if present in the table, otherwise use Default Test Settings test points.

Note 3: Inter-band: Use CA Configuration – specific test points if present in the table, Otherwise use test points from matching Group Test Settings, if present in the table. Otherwise use the Default Test Settings test points.

Note 4: If, according to the UE declared capability, UE does not support UL in an individual band within the CA Configuration, test points with that individual band as PCC are not applicable.

Note 5: Intra-band contiguous: X corresponds to the band of the CA Configuration. E.g. for CA_41F, X=41.

Note 6: Inter-band: X,Y,Z,R,S correspond to the different bands in the CA Configuration. E.g. for CA_1A-3A-7A-20A-42A,X=1,Y=3,Z=7,R=20,S=42.

Note 7: Intra-band contiguous + Inter-band: X,Y,Z,R correspond to the different bands in the CA Configuration. E.g. for CA_3C-7A-28A, X=3,Y=7 and Z=28.

Note 8: REFSENS refers to the PCC bands and PCC NRB ‘s single carrier Uplink RB allocation for reference sensitivity according to table 7.3.5-2.

Note 9: Intra-band contiguous: If in the CA Configuration UE supports multiple CC Combinations with the same NRB_agg, choose for testing the Combination with maximum NRB_PCC and then select maximum NRB_SCC1 for the chosen NRB_PCC.

Note 10: Intra-band contiguous + Inter-band: If in the CA Configuration UE supports multiple CC Combinations with the same NRB_agg, choose the Combination with NRB_PCC = NRB_SCC1 for testing. If no such combination is supported, choose Combination with maximum NRB_PCC for testing.

Note 11: Band 42: fUL/DL for SCC1 = 3430.2MHz (NUL/DL = 41892), fUL/DL for SCC2 = 3450MHz (NUL/DL = 42090)

Note 12: Band 42: fUL/DL for SCC1 = 3500.2MHz (NUL/DL = 42592), fUL/DL for SCC2 = 3520MHz (NUL/DL = 42790)

Note 13: Band 3: fUL = 1720MHz (NUL = 19300), fDL = 1815MHz (NDL = 1300)

1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508[7] Annex A Figure A.55 if the UE supports 2 Rx antennas or Figure A.80 if the UE supports 4 Rx antennas in at least one band within the CA configuration.

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 C.0, C.1, and C.3.1, and uplink signals according to Annex H.1 and H.3.0.

4. The UL and DL Reference Measurement channels are set according to Table 7.3A.11.4.1-1 through Table 7.3A.11.4.1-2 as appropriate.

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 7.3A.11.4.3.

7.3A.11.4.2 Test procedure

1. Configure SCCs according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.1 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 7.3A.11.4.3.

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 transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.3A.11.4.1-1 through Table7.3A.11.4.1-2 as appropriate on PCC and SCCs. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.

5. 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 7.3A.11.4.1-1 through Table 7.3A.11.4.1-2 as appropriate on PCC and SCCs. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

6. Set the Downlink signal level for PCC and SCCs to the appropriate REFSENS value defined in Table 7.3A.11.5-1 through Table7.3A.11.5-5. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE to ensure the UE transmits PUMAX level for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement.

7. Measure the average throughput for each component carrier for duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G.2A.

7.3A.11.4.3 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.

7.3A.11.5 Test requirement

NOTE: Table 7.3A.11.5-1 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.

Table 7.3A.11.5-1: Void

Table 7.3A.11.5-2: FFS

Table 7.3A.11.5-3: FFS

For combinations of intra-band contiguous and inter-band carrier aggregation with three or four downlink carriers and one uplink carrier assigned to one E-UTRA band the throughput of each component carrier 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 7.3A.11.5-4. The reference sensitivity is defined to be met with all downlink component carriers active and one of the uplink carriers active.
