7.4A.2_H.1 Test purpose

Same test purpose as in clause 7.4A.2.1.

7.4A.2_H.2 Test applicability

This test applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 12 and forward that support intra-band contiguous DL CA and 256QAM in DL. This test case applies only for CA configurations that do not support UL CA.

7.4A.2_H.3 Minimum conformance requirements

The minimum conformance requirements are defined in clause 7.4A.1_H.3.
