7.6.3EC Narrow band blocking for UE category M2

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

7.6.3EC.1 Test purpose

Same as in clause 7.6.3EA.1

7.6.3EC.2 Test applicability

This test applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 14 and forward of category M2.

7.6.3EC.3 Minimum conformance requirements

The relative throughput 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 Table 7.6.3EC.3-1. For operating bands with an unpaired DL part (as noted in Table 5.2-1), the requirements only apply for carriers assigned in the paired part.

Parameter	Unit	Channel Bandwidth
Parameter	Unit	1.4 MHz	3 MHz	5 MHz	10 MHz	15 MHz	20 MHz
P_w	dBm	P_REFSENS + channel-bandwidth specific value below
P_w	dBm	22	18	16	13	14	16
P_uw (CW)	dBm	-55	-55	-55	-55	-55	-55

F_uw (offset for f = 7.5 kHz)	MHz
NOTE 1: The transmitter shall be set a 4 dB below PCMAX_L at the minimum uplink configuration specified in Table 7.3EA-3 with PCMAX_L as defined in subclause 6.2.5EA. NOTE 2: Reference measurement channel is specified in Annex A.3.2 with one sided dynamic OCNG Pattern OP.1 FDD/TDD as described in Annex A.5.1.1/A.5.2.1. NOTE 3: For DL category M1 and M2 UE, the reference sensitivity for category M1 in table 7.3EA-1 and 7.3EA-2 and category M2 in Table 7.3 EC-1 should be used as P_REFSENS for P_w. NOTE 4: For DL category M1 and M2 UE, the parameters for the applicable channel bandwidth apply.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 36.101 [2] clause 7.6.3.
