7.6.2A.0 Minimum conformance requirements

For inter-band carrier aggregation with one component carrier per operating band and the uplink assigned to one E-UTRA band, the out-of-band blocking requirements are defined with the uplink active on the band(s) other than the band whose downlink is being tested. The throughput in the downlink measured shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annexes A.2.2, A.2.3 and A.3.2 (with one sided dynamic OCNG Pattern OP.1 FDD/TDD for the DL-signal as described in Annex A.5.1.1/A.5.2.1) with parameters specified in Tables 7.6.2.3-1 and 7.6.2A.0-0. For E-UTRA CA configurations including an operating band without uplink operation (as noted in Table 5.2-1), the requirements for all downlinks shall be met with the uplink active in the band(s) capable of UL operation. The UE shall meet these requirements for each component carrier while all downlink carriers are active.

For inter-band carrier aggregation with one component carrier per operating band and the uplink active in two E-UTRA bands, the out-of-band blocking requirements specified above shall be met with the transmitter power for the uplink set to 7 dB below PCMAX_L,c for each serving cell c.

For E-UTRA CA configurations including an operating band without uplink band or an operating band with an unpaired DL part (as noted in Table 5.2-1), the requirements for all downlinks shall be met with the single uplink carrier active in each band capable of UL operation. For E-UTRA CA configurations listed in Table 7.3A.0-0a under conditions for which reference sensitivity for the operating band being tested is N/A, the out-of-band blocking requirements of subclause 7.6.2A.0 do not apply.

For Table 7.6.2A.0-0 in frequency ranges 1, 2 and 3, up to exceptions per downlink are allowed for spurious response frequencies for one active uplink when measured using a step size of 1 MHz.

For Table 7.6.2A.0-0 in frequency ranges 1, 2 and 3, up to 2∙ exceptions per downlink are allowed for spurious response frequencies for two active uplinks when measured using a step size of 1 MHz. For these exceptions the requirements in clause 7.7A.0 apply.

For intra-band contiguous carrier aggregations the downlink SCC(s) shall be configured at nominal channel spacing to the PCC. For FDD, the PCC shall be configured closest to the uplink band. All downlink carriers shall be active throughout the test. The uplink output power shall be set as specified in Table 7.6.2A.0-1 with the uplink configuration set according to Table 7.3A.0-1 for the applicable carrier aggregation configuration. For UE(s) supporting one uplink carrier, the uplink configuration of the PCC shall be in accordance with Table 7.3.3-2.

The UE shall fulfil the minimum requirement in presence of an interfering signal specified in Tables 7.6.2A.0-1 and Tables 7.6.2A.0-2 being on either side of the aggregated signal. The throughput of each carrier shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annexes A.2.2, A.2.3 and A.3.2 (with one sided dynamic OCNG Pattern OP.1 FDD/TDD for the DL-signal as described in Annex A.5.1.1/A.5.2.1) with parameters specified in Tables 7.6.2A.0-1 and 7.6.2A.0-2.

For intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation with one uplink carrier and two or more downlink sub-blocks, the out-of-band blocking requirements are defined with the uplink configuration in accordance with table 7.3A.0-3. For this uplink configuration, the UE shall meet the requirements for each sub-block as specified in subclauses 7.6.2.3 and 7.6.2A.0 for one component carrier and two component carriers per sub-block, respectively. The requirements apply with all downlink carriers active.

For Table 7.6.2.3-2 in frequency range 1, 2 and 3, up to exceptions per assigned E-UTRA channel per sub-block of the E-UTRA CA configuration are allowed for spurious response frequencies when measured using a 1MHz step size. For these exceptions the requirements of subclause 7.7A.4.3 spurious response are applicable.

For Table 7.6.2.3-2 in frequency range 4, up to exceptions per assigned E-UTRA channel per sub-block of the E-UTRA CA configuration are allowed for spurious response frequencies when measured using a 1MHz step size. For these exceptions the requirements of clause 7.7A.4.3 spurious response are applicable.

For intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation with two uplink carriers and two downlink carriers, the out-of-band blocking requirements are defined with the uplink configuration of the PCC and SCC being in accordance with Table 7.3A.0-4 and powers of both carriers set to P_{CMAX_L,c} – 7 dBm. The UE shall meet the requirements specified in subclause 7.6.2A.0 for each component carrier while both downlink carriers are active.

For Table 7.6.2.3-2 in frequency range 1, 2 and 3, up to 2∙ exceptions per assigned E-UTRA channel per sub-block of the E-UTRA CA configuration are allowed for spurious response frequencies for two active uplinks in the same operating band when measured using a 1MHz step size. For these exceptions the requirements of subclause 7.7 spurious response are applicable.

For Table 7.6.2.3-2 in frequency range 4, up to 2∙ exceptions per assigned E-UTRA channel per sub-block of the E-UTRA CA configuration are allowed for spurious response frequencies for two active uplinks in the same operating band when measured using a 1MHz step size. For these exceptions the requirements of clause 7.7 spurious response are applicable.

For combinations of intra-band and inter-band carrier aggregation with up to five downlink carriers (up to two non-contiguously sub-blocks per band and up to four contiguously aggregated carriers per band) and the uplink assigned to one E-UTRA band, the requirement is defined with the uplink active a band other than that supporting the downlink(s) under test. The uplink configuration shall be in accordance with Table 7.3A.0-3 when the uplink is active in the band supporting two non-contiguous component carriers, Table 7.3A.0-1 when the uplink is active in a band supporting two contiguous component carriers and in accordance with Table 7.3.3-2 when the uplink is active in a band supporting one carrier per band. The downlink PCC shall be configured closer to the uplink operating band than the downlink SCC(s) when the uplink is active in band(s) supporting contiguous aggregation of up to four component carriers. For the two non-contiguous component carriers within the same band, P_wanted in Table 7.6.2A.0-0 is set using R_IBNC = 0 dB for all sub-block gaps (Table 7.3A.0-3) while a band supporting contiguously aggregated carriers the out-of-band blocking parameters in Table 7.6.2.3-1 are replaced by those specified in Table 7.6.2A.0-1. For each downlink the UE shall meet the out-of-band blocking requirements applicable for inter-band carrier aggregation with one component carrier per operating band but with up to four component carriers assigned to the same band with the following exception. All downlink carriers shall be active throughout the tests and the requirements for the downlinks shall be met with the single uplink carrier active in each band capable of UL operation.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 36.101 [2] clause 7.6.2.1A.

7.6.2A.1 Out-of-band blocking for CA (intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA)

7.6.2A.1.1 Test Purpose

Out-of-band blocking for CA is defined for an unwanted CW interfering signal falling more than 15 MHz below or above the UE receive band, at which a given average throughput shall meet or exceed the requirement for the specified measurement channels in aggregated signals.

For the first 15 MHz below or above the UE receive band the appropriate in-band blocking or adjacent channel selectivity in sub-clause 7.5A and sub-clause 7.6.1A shall be applied.

The lack of out-of-band blocking ability will decrease the coverage area when other e-NodeB transmitters exist (except in the adjacent channels and spurious response).

7.6.2A.1.2 Test Applicability

This test applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 10 and forward that support intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA.

7.6.2A.1.3 Minimum Conformance Requirements

The minimum conformance requirements are defined in clause 7.6.2A.0.

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 CC combinations based on E‑UTRA CA configurations specified in table 5.4.2A.1-1. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each CA Configuration, and are shown in table 7.6.2A.1.4.1-1. 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 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 Configuration only the appropriate Uplink RB allocation value according to table 7.3A.0-1 is tested per CA Configuration Test CC combination. Note 3: If the UE supports multiple CC Combinations in the CA Configuration with the same N_{RB_agg}, only the combination with the highest NRB_PCC is tested.

1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure group A.34 as appropriate 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] subclause 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 Table 7.6.2A.1.4.1-1.

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 7.6.2A.1.4.3.

7.6.2A.1.4.2 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 7.6.2A.1.4.3.

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 Table 7.6.2A.1.4.1-1 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 7.6.2A.1.4.1-1 on both PCC and SCC. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

6. Set the parameters of the CW signal generator for an interfering signal below the CA Band according to Table 7.6.2A.1.5-2. The frequency step size is 1MHz.

7. Set the downlink signal level according to the table 7.6.2A.1.5-1 for both carriers. Send uplink power control commands to the UE (less or equal to 1dB step size should be used), to ensure that for at least the duration of the throughput measurement:
The PCC output power is within (+0dB, -3.4 dB) of (target level in Table 7.6.2A.1.5-1 + 10log(P_L_CRB/N_{RB_alloc})), for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz,
or within (+0dB, -4 dB) of (target level in Table 7.6.2A.1.5-1 + 10log(P_L_CRB/N_{RB_alloc})) for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.
The SCC output power is within (+0dB, -3.4 dB) of (target level in Table 7.6.2A.1.5-1 + 10log(S_L_CRB/N_{RB_alloc})), for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz,
or within (+0dB, -4 dB) of (target level in Table 7.6.2A.1.5-1 + 10log(S_L_CRB/N_{RB_alloc})) for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.

8. Measure the average throughput for all the carrier(s) indicated in the Table 7.6.2A.7.4.2-1 simultaneously for duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G.2. Note that the statistical decision for each component carrier should be postponed until the statistical decisions for all component carriers are obtained simultaneously according to table G.2.4-1.

9. Record the frequencies for which the throughput doesn’t meet the requirements.

10. Repeat steps from 6 to 9, using an interfering signal above the CA Band at step 5.

7.6.2A.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 Table 7.6.2A.2.4.1-1 on both PCC and SCC. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.

7.6.2A.3 Out-of-band blocking for CA (inter-band DL CA without UL CA)

Editor’s notes: This clause is incomplete for Band 46. The following aspects are either missing or not yet determined.

– Test system uncertainties are missing in annex F.

7.6.2A.3.1 Test Purpose

Out-of-band band blocking is defined for an unwanted CW interfering signal falling more than 15 MHz below or above (60 MHz for band 46) the UE receive band, at which a given average throughput shall meet or exceed the requirement for the specified measurement channels.

For the first 15 MHz below or above (60 MHz for band 46) the UE receive band the appropriate in-band blocking or adjacent channel selectivity in sub-clause 7.5.1 and sub-clause 7.6.1 shall be applied.

The lack of out-of-band blocking ability will decrease the coverage area when other e-NodeB transmitters exist (except in the adjacent channels and spurious response).

7.6.2A.3.2 Test Applicability

This test applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 10 and forward that support inter-band DL CA.

This test case also applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 12 and forward that support 2DL CA with FDD-TDD inter-band CA.

This test case also applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 13 and forward that support DL LAA.

This test case applies only for CA configurations that do not support UL CA.

For inter-band carrier aggregation with uplink assigned to one E-UTRA band the out-of-band blocking requirements are defined with the uplink active on the band other than the band whose downlink is being tested i.e. the requirements are tested only for the SCell downlink. The UE shall meet the requirement for each component carrier, when operated as SCell, while both downlink carriers are active.

Except for the spurious response frequencies recorded at step 9, the throughput measured during the test procedure for each component carrier, when operated as SCell, shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annexes A.2.2, A.2.3 and A.3.2 (with one sided dynamic OCNG Pattern OP.1 FDD/TDD for the DL-signal as described in Annex A.5.1.1/A.5.2.1) with parameters specified in Tables 7.6.2A.3.5-1 (originated from the single carrier Table 7.6.2.5-1) and 7.6.2.3.5-2.

Note 10: The orders and numbering of SCCs in this table does not imply any order in test implementation of SCCs.

Note 11: ID/test points that result in no refsens requirement shall be skipped.

1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508[7] Annex A Figure group A.58 as appropriate 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] subclause 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.3.0.

4. The UL and DL Reference Measurement channels are set according to Table 7.6.2A.5.4.1-1 through Table 7.6.2A.5.4.1-2 as appropriate.

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 7.6.2A.5.4.3.

7.6.2A.5.4.2 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 7.6.2A.5.4.3

3. SS activates SCCs 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 Table 7.6.2A.5.4.1-1 through Table 7.6.2A.5.4.1-2 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 Table 7.6.2A.5.4.1-1 through Table 7.6.2A.5.4.1-2 on PCC. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

6. Set the parameters of the CW signal generator for an interfering signal below the lowest CA Band according to the table indicated in the column "Table with interferer parameters to select" of Table 7.6.2A.5.4.2-1. The frequency step size is 1MHz. Use the highest R_IB,camong CA bands for P_interferercalculation.

7. Set the downlink signal level according to the table indicated in the column "Table with transmission parameters to select" of Table 7.6.2A.5.4.2-1. 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 7.6.2A.5.5-1 for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or within +0, -4.0 dB of the target level for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz, for at least the duration of the throughput measurement.

9. Record the frequencies for which the throughput doesn’t meet the requirements and for each frequency, the carriers for which the throughput was not met.

10. Repeat steps 6 to 8 for each recorded frequency-carrier pair, with exception of pairs for which R_IB,c is the same as R_IB used in Step 6. In Step 6 use only recorded frequencies for interferer placement and use R_IB,crelevant to recorded carrier for P_interferercalculation. Remove the frequency-carrier pairs that meet the throughput requirements from the record.

11. If the CA Configuration includes multiple bands, repeat steps from 6 to 10 using an interfering signal in each gap between the CA bands, according to the table indicated in the column "Table with interferer parameters to select" of Table 7.6.2A.5.4.2-1.

12. Repeat steps from 6 to 10, using an interfering signal above the highest CA Band according to the table indicated in the column "Table with interferer parameters to select" of Table 7.6.2A.5.4.2-1.

13. Repeat steps 1 to 12 for each row of "Throughput measured on" column listed in the Table 7.6.2A.5.4.2-1.

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: Inter-band & Intra-band contiguous + Inter-band: 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_41E, X=41.

Note 6: Inter-band: X,Y,Z,R correspond to the different bands in the CA Configuration. E.g. for CA_1A-3A-7A-8A,X=1,Y=3,Z=7,R=8.

Note 7: Intra-band contiguous + Inter-band: X,Y,Z 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 band’s 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 11: The orders and numbering of SCCs in this table does not imply any order in test implementation of SCCs.

Note 12: ID/test points that result in no refsens requirement shall be skipped.

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 correspond to the different bands in the CA Configuration. E.g. for CA_2A-2A-4A-12A,X=2,Y=4,Z=12.

Note 5: Intra-band non-contiguous + Intra-band contiguous: X corresponds to the band of the CA Configuration. E.g. for CA_41C-41A-41A,X=41.

Note 6: Intra-band non-contiguous + Intra-band non-contiguous: X,Y correspond to the different bands in the CA Configuration. E.g. for CA_2A-2A-4A-4A,X=2,Y=4.

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.

Note 9: The orders and numbering of SCCs in this table does not imply any order in test implementation of SCCs.

Note 10: ID/test points that result in no refsens requirement shall be skipped.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 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.3.0.

4. The UL and DL Reference Measurement channels are set according to Table 7.6.2A.7.4.1-1 through Table 7.6.2A.7.4.1-2 as appropriate.

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 7.6.2A.7.4.3.

7.6.2A.7.4.2 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 7.6.2A.7.4.3

3. SS activates SCCs 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 Table 7.6.2A.7.4.1-1 through Table 7.6.2A.7.4.1-2 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 Table 7.6.2A.7.4.1-1 through Table 7.6.2A.7.4.1-2 on PCC. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

6. Set the parameters of the CW signal generator for an interfering signal below the lowest CA Band according to the table indicated in the column "Table with interferer parameters to select" of Table 7.6.2A.7.4.2-1. The frequency step size is 1MHz. Use the highest R_IB,camong CA bands for P_interferercalculation.

7. Set the downlink signal level according to the table indicated in the column "Table with transmission parameters to select" of Table 7.6.2A.7.4.2-1. 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 7.6.2A.7.5-1 for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or within +0, -4.0 dB of the target level for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz, for at least the duration of the throughput measurement.

9. Record the frequencies for which the throughput doesn’t meet the requirements and for each frequency, the carriers for which the throughput was not met.

13. Repeat steps 1 to 12 for each row of "Throughput measured on" column listed in the Table 7.6.2A.7.4.2-1.

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 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 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.

If no such combination is supported, choose Combination with maximum N_{RB_CC1} for testing.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 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.3.0.

4. The UL and DL Reference Measurement channels are set according to Table 7.6.2A.8.4.1-1 through Table 7.6.2A.8.4.1-2 as appropriate.

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 7.6.2A.8.4.3.

7.6.2A.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 7.6.2A.8.4.3

3. SS activates SCCs 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 Table 7.6.2A.8.4.1-1 through Table 7.6.2A.8.4.1-2 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 Table 7.6.2A.8.4.1-1 through Table 7.6.2A.8.4.1-2 on PCC. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

6. Set the parameters of the CW signal generator for an interfering signal below the lowest CA Band according to the table indicated in the column "Table with interferer parameters to select" of Table 7.6.2A.8.4.2-1. The frequency step size is 1MHz. Use the highest R_IB,camong CA bands for P_interferercalculation.

7. Set the downlink signal level according to the table indicated in the column "Table with transmission parameters to select" of Table 7.6.2A.8.4.2-1. 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 7.6.2A.8.5-1 for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or within +0, -4.0 dB of the target level for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz, for at least the duration of the throughput measurement.

9. Record the frequencies for which the throughput doesn’t meet the requirements and for each frequency, the carriers for which the throughput was not met.

13. Repeat steps 1 to 12 for each row of "Throughput measured on" column listed in the Table 7.6.2A.8.4.2-1.

Note 1: F_{DL_Low(}_j₎and F_{DL_High(}_j₎denote the respective lower and upper frequency limits of the operating band containing carrier j, j = 1,…,X, with carriers numbered in increasing order of carrier frequency and X the number of component carriers in the band combination (X ≤ 5 for the present version of this specification). Note 2: For F_{DL_Low(}_j₊₁₎– F_{DL_High(}_j₎< 145 MHz and F_Interferer in F_{DL_High(}_j₎< f < F_{DL_Low(}_j₊₁₎, F_Interferer can be in both Range 1 and Range 2. Then the lower of the P_Interferer applies. Note 3: For F_{DL_Low(}_j₎– 15 MHz ≤ f ≤ F_{DL_High(}_j₎+ 15 MHz the appropriate adjacent channel selectivity and in-band blocking requirements in the respective subclauses 7.5A.5.5 and 7.6.1A.5.5 shall be applied for carrier j. Note 4: R_IB,c according to Table 7.3.3-1A applies when serving cell c is measured. Note 5: For inter-band CA combinations containing Bands 42, 43, or Band 48 the interferer with respect to Band 42, Band 43, or Band 48 shall have power level (P_Interferer) for Range 3 modified to -20 + R_IB,c dBm for F_Interferer > 2800 MHz and F_Interferer < 4400 MHz. Note 6: For inter-band CA combinations containing Bands 7 and 38 simultaneously, for F_Interferer Bands 7 and 38 are considered as one single band as follows: F_{DL_Low} = 2570 MHz and F_{DL_High} = 2690 MHz. For Range 2, the following applies for F_{DL_Low}: -95 < f – F_{DL_Low} ≤ -60 or 60 ≤ f – F_{DL_High} < 85. For Range 3 the following applies 1 ≤ f ≤ F_{DL_Low} -95 or F_{DL_High} + 85 ≤ f ≤ 12750.

For Table 7.6.2A.8.5-5 in frequency range 1, 2 and 3, the number of spurious response frequencies recorded in the step 9 of the test procedure shall not exceed exceptions per assigned E-UTRA channel per sub-block gap of the E-UTRA CA configuration are allowed for spurious response frequencies when measured using a 1MHz step size. For these exceptions the requirements of subclause 7.7A.8 spurious response for CA are applicable.

For Table 7.6.2A.8.5-5 in frequency range 4 the number of spurious response frequencies recorded in the step 9 of the test procedure shall not exceed exceptions per assigned E-UTRA channel per sub-block gap of the E-UTRA CA configuration are allowed for spurious response frequencies when measured using a 1MHz step size. For these exceptions the requirements of clause 7.7A.8 spurious response for CA are applicable.

Note 1: For the UE which supports both Band 11 and Band 21 the out of blocking is FFS. Note 2: The power level of the interferer (P_Interferer) for Range 3 shall be modified to -20 dBm for F_Interferer > 2800 MHz and F_Interferer < 4400 MHz. Note 3: For the UE that supports both Band 4 and Band 66, the out-of-blocking frequency range for Band 4 is defined relative to F_{DL_low} and F_{DL_high} of Band 66. Note 4: For a UE supporting CA_20A-28A the requirements for Band 20 and Band 28 apply with F_{DL_low}given by the lower limit of the restricted operating frequency range in Band 28 and F_{DL_high}by Band 20 (Table 5.5A-2).

For a UE, which supports CA configuration in Tables 7.3.3-1A, 7.3.3-1B and 7.3.3-1C, P_Interfererpower defined in Tables 7.6.2A.8.5 2, 7.6.2A.8.5‑4 and 7.6.2A.8.5-5 is increased by the amount given by ΔR_IB,c in Tables 7.3.3-1A, 7.3.3-1B and 7.3.3-1C accordingly.

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

Note 2: Intra-band contiguous+ Inter-band , Intra-band contiguous + Intra-band contiguous , Intra-band contiguous + Intra-band contiguous + inter-band & Intra-band contiguous + Intra-band contiguous + Intra-band contiguous: Use CA Configuration – specific test points if present in the table, otherwise use 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,U correspond to the different bands in the CA Configuration. E.g. X !=Y !=Z !=R !=S !=U.

Note 7: 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 + 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 10: The orders and numbering of SCCs in this table does not imply any order in test implementation of SCCs.

Note 11: ID/test points that result in no ref sens requirement shall be skipped.

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

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 + Intra-band non-contiguous + Inter-band: X,Y,Z,R correspond to the different bands in the CA Configuration. E.g. for CA_1A-3A-3A-7A-7A-8A,X=1,Y=3,Z=7,R=8.

Note 5: Intra-band non-contiguous + Intra-band contiguous: X,Y,Z,R corresponds to the band of the CA Configuration. E.g. for CA_1A-1A-3A-7C-28A,X=1,Y=3,Z=7,R=28.

Note 6: 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 7: 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.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 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.3.0.

4. The UL and DL Reference Measurement channels are set according to Table 7.6.2A.9.4.1-1 through Table 7.6.2A.9.4.1-2 as appropriate.

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 7.6.2A.9.4.3.

7.6.2A.9.4.2 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 7.6.2A.9.4.3

3. SS activates SCCs 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 Table 7.6.2A.9.4.1-1 through Table 7.6.2A.9.4.1-2 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 Table 7.6.2A.9.4.1-1 through Table 7.6.2A.9.4.1-2 on PCC. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

6. Set the parameters of the CW signal generator for an interfering signal below the lowest CA Band according to the table indicated in the column "Table with interferer parameters to select" of Table 7.6.2A.9.4.2-1. The frequency step size is 1MHz. Use the highest R_IB,camong CA bands for P_interferercalculation.

7. Set the downlink signal level according to the table indicated in the column "Table with transmission parameters to select" of Table 7.6.2A.9.4.2-1. 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 7.6.2A.9.5-1 for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or within +0, -4.0 dB of the target level for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz, for at least the duration of the throughput measurement.

9. Record the frequencies for which the throughput doesn’t meet the requirements and for each frequency, the carriers for which the throughput was not met.

13. Repeat steps 1 to 12 for each row of "Throughput measured on" column listed in the Table 7.6.2A.9.4.2-1.

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

Note 2: Intra-band contiguous+ Inter-band: Use CA Configuration – specific test points if present in the table, otherwise use 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 and R correspond to the different bands in the CA Configuration. E.g. X !=Y !=Z !=R.

Note 7: 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 + 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 10: The orders and numbering of SCCs in this table does not imply any order in test implementation of SCCs.

Note 11: ID/test points that result in no ref sens requirement shall be skipped.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 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.3.0.

4. The UL and DL Reference Measurement channels are set according to Table 7.6.2A.10.4.1-1.

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 7.6.2A.10.4.3.

7.6.2A.10.4.2 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 7.6.2A.10.4.3

3. SS activates SCCs 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 Table 7.6.2A.10.4.1-1 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 Table 7.6.2A.10.4.1-1 on PCC. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

6. Set the parameters of the CW signal generator for an interfering signal below the lowest CA Band according to the table indicated in the column "Table with interferer parameters to select" of Table 7.6.2A.10.4.2-1. The frequency step size is 1MHz. Use the highest DR_IB,camong CA bands for P_interferercalculation.

7. Set the downlink signal level according to the table indicated in the column "Table with transmission parameters to select" of Table 7.6.2A.10.4.2-1. 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 7.6.2A.10.5-1 for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or within +0, -4.0 dB of the target level for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz, for at least the duration of the throughput measurement.

8. Measure the average throughput for all the carrier(s) indicated in the Table 7.6.2A.10.4.2-1 simultaneously for duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G.2. Note that the statistical decision for each component carrier should be postponed until the statistical decisions for all component carriers are obtained simultaneously according to table G.2.4-1.

9. Record the frequencies for which the throughput doesn’t meet the requirements and for each frequency, the carriers for which the throughput was not met.

10. Repeat steps 6 to 8 for each recorded frequency-carrier pair, with exception of pairs for which DR_IB,c is the same as DR_IB used in Step 6. In Step 6 use only recorded frequencies for interferer placement and use DR_IB,crelevant to recorded carrier for P_interferercalculation. Remove the frequency-carrier pairs that meet the throughput requirements from the record.

13. Repeat steps 1 to 12 for each row of "Throughput measured on" column listed in the Table 7.6.2A.10.4.2-1.
