7.7A.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 spurious response requirements are defined with the uplink active on the band(s) other than the band whose downlink is being tested. The throughput measured in each downlink with Finterferer in Table 7.6.2A.0-0 and Table 7.6.2A.0-0a at spurious response frequencies 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 7.7.3-1 and 7.7.3-2. 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 spurious response requirements applicable 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 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 spurious response requirements of subclause 7.7A.0 do not apply.

For intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation the downlink SCC(s) shall be configured at nominal channel spacing to the PCC. For FDD, the PCC shall configure 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 7.7A.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 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 Tables 7.7A.0-1 and 7.7A.0-2. For operating bands with an unpaired DL part (as noted in Table 5.2-1), the requirements also apply for an SCC assigned in the unpaired part with parameters specified in Tables 7.7A.0-1 and 7.7A.0-2.

For intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation with one uplink carrier and two or more downlink sub-blocks, the spurious response 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 7.7.3 and 7.7A.0 for one component carrier and two component carriers per sub-block, respectively. The requirements apply with all downlink carriers active.

For intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation with two uplink carriers and two downlink carriers, the spurious response requirements applicable specified above shall be met with the transmitter powers for the uplinks set to PCMAX_L,c – 7 dBm.

Spurious response frequencies

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 one uplink carrier assigned to one E-UTRA band, the requirement is defined with the uplink active in 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, Pwanted in Table 7.6.2A.0-0 is set using RIBNC = 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 7.7.3-1 are replaced by those specified in Table 7.7A.0-1. For each downlink the UE shall meet the spurious-response requirements applicable for inter-band carrier aggregation with one component carrier per operating band but with up to three component carriers assigned to the same band. 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 7.7.1A.

7.7A.1 Spurious response for CA (intra-band contiguous DL CA and UL CA)

7.7A.1.1 Test Purpose

Spurious response for CA verifies the receiver’s ability to receive a wanted aggregated signal on its assigned channel frequency without exceeding a given degradation due to the presence of an unwanted CW interfering signal at any other frequency at which a response is obtained i.e. for which the out of band blocking limit as specified in sub-clause 7.6.2A is not met.

The lack of the spurious response ability decreases the coverage area when other unwanted interfering signal exists at any other frequency.

7.7A.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.

7.7A.1.3 Minimum Conformance Requirements

The minimum conformance requirements are defined in clause 7.7A.0.

7.7A.1.4 Test Description

2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 7.7A.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 according to Table 7.7A.1.5-2. The spurious frequencies are taken from records in the final step of test procedures in clause 7.6.2A.1.4.2.

7. Set the downlink signal level according to the table 7.7A.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 7.7A.1.5-1 + 10log(P_LCRB/NRB_alloc)), for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz,
or within (+0dB, -4 dB) of (target level in Table 7.7A.1.5-1 + 10log(P_LCRB/NRB_alloc)) for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.
The SCC output power is within (+0dB, -3.4 dB) of (target level in Table 7.7A.1.5-1 + 10log(S_LCRB/NRB_alloc)), for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz,
or within (+0dB, -4 dB) of (target level in Table 7.7A.1.5-1 + 10log(S_LCRB/NRB_alloc)) for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.

8. For each spurious frequency, measure the average throughput for each component carrier for duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G.2A.
