7.5A.4.4.2 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. Message contents are defined in clause 7.5A.4.4.3.
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.4.4.1-1 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 Tables 7.5A.4.4.1-1 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.4.5-2 (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.4.5-2 (Case 1) and frequency below the wanted signal, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D of the present document.
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 wanted signal 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.4.5-3 (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.4.5-3 (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.4.5-3 (Case 2) and frequency below the wanted signal, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D of the present document.
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 wanted signal in Case 2 at step 11.
7.5A.4.4.3 Message contents
The message contents are the same as in clause 7.5.4.3.
7.5A.4.5 Test requirement
The throughput of each carrier shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annex A.3.2 under the conditions specified in table 7.5A.4.5-2, and also under the conditions specified in table 7.5A.4.5-3.
