Note 1: CA Configuration Test CC Combination settings are checked separately for each CA Configuration, which applicable aggregated channel bandwidths are specified in Table 5.4.2A.1-1. Note 2: Depending on CA configurations, only the appropriate Uplink RB allocation value according to table 7.3.3-2 for UE supporting one uplink carrier. Note 3: If the UE supports multiple CC Combinations in the CA Configuration with the same NRB_agg , only the combination with the highest NRB_PCC is tested. Note 4: For CA_70C all test frequency IDs shall be tested according to table 4.3.1.1.70A-1, in TS 36.508 [7]. |

7.5A.2.4.2 Test procedure
1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.1 for all downlink physical channels.
2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4.
3. SS activates SCC 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 Tables 7.5A.2.4.1-1 on both PCC and SCC. 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 7.5A.2.4.1-1 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 SCC to the value as defined in Table 7.5A.1.5-2 (Case 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 7.5A.1.5-2 (Case 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, for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement.
7. Set the Interferer signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5A.1.5-2 (Case 1) and frequency below the aggregated component carriers, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D of the present document. The interferer frequencies are adjusted in analogy with table 7.5A.1.4.2-1.
8. Measure the average throughput for each component carrier for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G.2A.
9. Repeat steps from 6 to 8, using an interfering signal above the aggregated component carriers in Case 1 at step 7.
10. Set the Downlink signal level for PCC and SCC to the value as defined in Table 7.5A.1.5-3 (Case 2). 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 7.5A.1.5-3 (Case 2) for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or within +0, -4.0 dB of the target level for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz, for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement.
11. Set the Interferer signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5A.1.5-3 (Case 2) and frequency below the aggregated component carriers, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D of the present document. The interferer frequencies are adjusted in analogy with table 7.5A.1.4.2-1.
12. Measure the average throughput for each component carrier for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G.2A.
13. Repeat steps from 10 to 12, using an interfering signal above the aggregated component carriers in Case 2 at step 11.
