7.5A.8 Adjacent Channel Selectivity (ACS) for 5DL CA

36.521-13GPPEvolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA)Part 1: Conformance testingRadio transmission and receptionRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) conformance specification

Tools: ARFCN - Frequency Conversion for 5G NR/LTE/UMTS/GSM

7.5A.8.1 Test purpose

Adjacent channel selectivity for CA test verifies the UE’s ability to receive data with a given average throughput for a specified reference measurement channel, in the presence of an adjacent channel signal at a given frequency offset from the centre frequency of the assigned channel, under conditions of ideal propagation and no added noise.

A UE unable to meet the throughput requirement under these conditions will decrease the coverage area when other e-NodeB transmitters exist in the adjacent channel.

7.5A.8.2 Test applicability

This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA UE and forward that support 5DL with CA configurations in Table 7.1-2c.

7.5A.8.3 Minimum conformance requirements

The Minimum conformance requirements are defined in clause 7.5A.0.

7.5A.8.4 Test description

7.5A.8.4.1 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 tables 7.5A.8.4.1-1 to 7.5A.8.4.1-2. The details of the uplink and downlink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annexes A.2 and A.3 respectively. The details of the OCNG patterns used are specified in Annex A.5. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2.

Note 1: CA Configuration Test CC Combination test settings are checked separately for each CA Configuration.

Note 2: Intra-band contiguous & Intra-band contiguous + Inter-band: Use CA Configuration – specific test points if present in the table, otherwise use Default Test Settings test points.

Note 3: Inter-band: Use CA Configuration – specific test points if present in the table, Otherwise use test points from matching Group Test Settings, if present in the table. Otherwise use the Default Test Settings test points.

Note 4: If, according to the UE declared capability, UE does not support UL in an individual band within the CA Configuration, test points with that individual band as PCC are not applicable.

Note 5: Intra-band contiguous: X corresponds to the band of the CA Configuration. E.g. for CA_41F, X=41.

Note 6: Inter-band: X,Y,Z,R,S correspond to the different bands in the CA Configuration. E.g. for CA_1A-3A-7A-20A-42A,X=1,Y=3,Z=7,R=20,S=42.

Note 7: Intra-band contiguous + Inter-band: X,Y,Z,R correspond to the different bands in the CA Configuration. E.g. for CA_3C-7A-28A, X=3,Y=7 and Z=28.

Note 8: REFSENS refers to the PCC bands and PCC N_RB ‘s single carrier Uplink RB allocation for reference sensitivity according to table 7.3.5-2.

Note 9: Intra-band contiguous: If in the CA Configuration UE supports multiple CC Combinations with the same N_{RB_agg}, choose for testing the Combination with maximum N_{RB_PCC} and then select maximum N_{RB_SCC1}for the chosen N_{RB_PCC.}

Note 10: Intra-band contiguous + Inter-band: If in the CA Configuration UE supports multiple CC Combinations with the same N_{RB_agg}, choose the Combination with N_{RB_PCC} = N_{RB_SCC1} for testing. If no such combination is supported, choose Combination with maximum N_{RB_PCC} for testing.

Note 1: CA Configuration Test CC Combination test settings are checked separately for each CA Configuration.

Note 2: Use CA Configuration – specific test points if present in the table. Otherwise use test points from matching Group Test Settings, if present in the table. Otherwise use Default Test Settings test points.

Note 3: If, according to the UE declared capability, UE does not support UL in an individual band within the CA Configuration, test points with that individual band as PCC are not applicable.

Note 4: Intra-band non-contiguous + Inter-band: X,Y,Z,R correspond to the different bands in the CA Configuration. E.g. for CA_2A-2A-5A-12A-66A,X=2,Y=5,Z=12,R=66.

Note 5: Intra-band non-contiguous + Intra-band contiguous: X,Y corresponds to the band of the CA Configuration. E.g. for CA_5A-5A-66D,X=5,Y=66.

Note 6: Intra-band non-contiguous + Intra-band non-contiguous: X,Y,Z correspond to the different bands in the CA Configuration. E.g. for CA_2A-2A-5A-66A-66A,X=2,Y=5,Z=66.

Note 7: REFSENS refers to the PCC band’s and PCC N_RB ‘s single carrier Uplink RB allocation for reference sensitivity according to table 7.3.5-2.

Note 8: Intra-band non-contiguous + Intra-band contiguous: If in the CA Configuration UE supports multiple CC Combinations with the same N_{RB_agg}, choose the Combination with N_{RB_CC1} = N_{RB_CC2}for testing. If no such combination is supported, choose Combination with maximum N_{RB_CC1} for testing.

1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure A.58 if the UE supports 2 Rx antennas or Figure A.82 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 Annex C.0, C.1 and C.3.1, and uplink signals according to Annex H.1 and H.3.1

4. The UL and DL Reference Measurement channels are set according to Tables 7.5A.8.4.1-1 to 7.5A.8.4.1-2.

5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex 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 7.5A.8.4.3.

7.5A.8.4.2 Test procedure

1. Configure SCCs according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex 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 7.5A.8.4.3.

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 to TS 36.133 [4], clause 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.8.4.1-1 to 7.5A.8.4.1-6 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 7.5A.8.4.1-1 to 7.5A.8.4.1-2 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 for Case 1 in Table 7.5A.8.5-2 or 7.5A.8.5-5, and7.5A.8.5-2a or 7.5A.8.5-5a for operating band 46 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, -3.4 dB of the target level for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHzor within +0dB, -4 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 defined for Case 1 in Table 7.5A.8.5-2 or 7.5A.8.5-5, and7.5A.8.5-2a or 7.5A.8.5-5a for operating band 46 according to the type of CA, with frequency below the measured carrier(s) according to table 7.5A.8.4.2-1, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D of the present document.

8. Measure the average throughput for the carrier(s) indicated in table 7.5A.8.4.2-1 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 measured carrier(s) according to table 7.5A.8.4.2-1.

10. Set the Downlink signal level for PCC and SCCs to the value defined for Case 2 in Table 7.5A.8.5-3 or 7.5A.8.5-6 and 7.5A.8.5-2a or 7.5A.8.5-5a for operating band 46, 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, -3.4 dB of the target level for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz,
or within +0dB, -4 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 defined for Case 2 in Table 7.5A.8.5-3 or 7.5A.8.5-6 and 7.5A.8.5-2a or 7.5A.8.5-5a for operating band 46, according to the type of CA, with frequency below the measured carrier(s) according to table 7.5A.8.4.2-1, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D of the present document.

12. Measure the average throughput for the carrier(s) indicated in table 7.5A.8.4.2-1 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 measured carrier(s) according to table 7.5A.8.4.2-1.

14. Repeat steps 6 to 13 for component carriers listed in Table 7.5A.8.4.2-1.
