7.4G.2.4.2 Test procedure
1. The SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Tables 7.4G.2.4.1-1 on E-UTRA band. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.
2. SS simultaneously sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC and V2X scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 5A for SL_V_RNTI to schedule the V2X RMC according to Table 7.4G.2.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL and V2X RMCs.
3. Set the signal level of V2X for V2X band and E-UTRA band to the value defined in Table 7.4G.2.5-1. Send Uplink power control commands to the UE (less or equal to 1dB step size should be used), to ensure that the UE output power is within +0, – 3.4 dB of the target level in Table 7.4G.2.5-1 for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or within +0, -4.0 dB of the target level for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz or within +0, -4.3 dB of the target level for carrier frequency f ≤ 6.0GHz 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.
