7.4A.5_H.4 Test description
7.4A.5_H.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 tables of 5.4.2A.1 as applicable. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each CA Configuration, and are shown in table 7.4A.5_H.4.1-1 and 7.4A.5_H.4.1-2. The details of the uplink and downlink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in clauses A.2 and A.3 respectively. The details of the OCNG patterns used are specified in clause A.5. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in clause C.2.

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 the band.
2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.4.3.
3. Downlink signals for PCC are initially set up according to clauses C.0, C.1 and C.3.1, and uplink signals according to clauses H.1 and H.3.1
4. The UL and DL Reference Measurement channels are set according to Tables 7.4A.5_H.4.1-1 and 7.4A.5_H.4.1-2.
5. Propagation conditions are set according to clause 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 7.4A.5_H.4.3.
7.4A.5_H.4.2 Test procedure
1. Configure SCCs according to clauses C.0, C.1 and clause 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 7.4A.5_H.4.3
3. SS activates SCCs by sending the activation MAC-CE (Refer to TS 36.321 [13] clauses 5.13 and 6.1.3.8). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 36.133 [4], clause 8.3.3.2).
4. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.4A.5_H.4.1-1 and 7.4A.5_H.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 Tables 7.4A.5_H.4.1-1 and 7.4A.5_H.4.1-2 as appropriate on PCC. 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 value defined in Table 7.4A.5_H.5-1 or 7.4A.5_H.5-2 according to the type of CA. Send Uplink power control commands to the UE (less or equal to 1dB step size should be used), to ensure that the PCC output power is within (+0dB, -3.4dB) of the target level for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or within (+0dB, -4dB) of the target level for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz, 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 clause G.2A.
8. Repeat steps 6 to 7 for all component carriers indicated in Table 7.4A.5_H.4.2-1.
