7.4_H.4 Test description

7.4_H.4.1 Initial conditions

Same initial conditions as in clause 7.4.4.1 with the following exceptions:

– Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Figure A.3 if the UE supports 2 Rx antennas or Figure A.69 if the UE supports 4 Rx antennas in the band.

– Instead of Table 7.4.4.1-1, use Table 7.4_H.4.1-1.

Note 1: Test Channel Bandwidths are checked separately for each E-UTRA band. The 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).

7.4_H.4.2 Test procedure

Same test procedure as in clause 7.4.4.2 with the following exceptions:

– Instead of Table 7.4.4.1-1, use Table 7.4_H.4.1-1.

– Instead of Table 7.4.5-1, use Table 7.4_H.5-1.

– Instead of DCI format 1A use DCI format 1.

7.4_H.4.3 Message contents

Same message contents as defined in clause 7.4.4.3.

7.4_H.5 Test requirement

The throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annex A.3.2 with parameters specified in Table 7.4_H.5-1.

Table 7.4_H.5-1: Maximum input level

Rx Parameter	Units	Channel bandwidth
		1.4 MHz	3 MHz	5 MHz	10 MHz	15 MHz	20 MHz
Power in Transmission Bandwidth Configuration	dBm	For carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz: -27.7 For carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz: -28.0
Note 1: The transmitter shall be set to 4dB below PCMAX_L with PCMAX_L as defined in clause 6.2.5. Note 2: Reference measurement channel is Annex A.3.2: 256QAM, R=4/5 variant with one sided dynamic OCNG Pattern OP.1 FDD/TDD as described in Annex A.5.1.1/A.5.2.1.
