Spurious response frequencies

For the UE which supports inter band CA configuration in Tables 7.3.3-1A, 7.3.3-1B and 7.3.3-1C, Pinterferer power defined in Table 7.7D.0-3 is increased by the amount given by ΔRIB,c in Tables 7.3.3-1A, 7.3.3-1B and 7.3.3-1C.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 36.101 [2] clause 7.7.1D.

7.7D.1 Spurious response for ProSe Direct Discovery

Editor’s note: This test case is not complete. Following aspects are either missing or not yet determined:

– ProSe UE authentication is not handled in the test case and is still under investigation.

– Use of OCNG for Downlink has not been considered and is still FFS.

– Message exceptions content needs further investigation (some values still TBD).

– Test time is FFS.

7.7D.1.1 Test Purpose

Spurious response for ProSe 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 7.6.2D is not met.

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

7.7D.1.2 Test Applicability

This test applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 12 and forward which support ProSe Direct Discovery, but not ProSe Direct Communication.

7.7D.1.3 Minimum Conformance Requirements

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

7.7D.1.4 Test Description

7.7D.1.4.1 Initial Conditions

The initial conditions shall be the same as in clause 7.6.2D.1.4.1 in order to test spurious responses obtained in clause 7.6.2D.1 under the same conditions.

7.7D.1.4.2 Test Procedure

1. SS shall transmit an RRCConnectionReconfiguration message to configure DRX. Message contents exceptions (only those marked with "…Step 1…" ) are defined in clause 7.7D.1.4.3.

2. The UE shall transmit RRCConnectionReconfigurationComplete message.

3. Initialise the variables Ptot and Pok as 0.

4. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.6.2D.1.4.1-1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.

5. SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.6.2D.1.4.1-1. When the UE has no payload data to send, it transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

6. Set the parameters of the CW signal generator for an interfering signal according to Table 7.7D.1.5-2. The spurious frequencies are taken from records in step 12 of test procedures in clause 7.6.2D.1.4.2.

7. SS transmits PSDCH to transmit the SL RMC according to Table 7.6.2D.1.4.1-1. Set the Sidelink signal level to the appropriate value defined in Table 7.7D.1.5-1.

8. SS shall send SL Discovery Packets (MAC padding bits) on the SL RMC for the test time [FFS]. SS stores the number of the transmitted Discovery Packets in the current test iteration in the variable Ptot.

9. SS shall send (on the available PDSCH) a "UE TEST LOOP PROSE MODE D SIDELINK DIRECT DISCOVERY PACKET COUNTER REQUEST" message and wait for the UE to respond (on the available PUSCH) with a "UE TEST LOOP PROSE MODE D SIDELINK DIRECT DISCOVERY PACKET COUNTER RESPONSE".

10. SS calculates the variable Pok as (current counter value – counter value at last test iteration).

11. SS shall compute the throughput as following:

TP = Pok / Ptot * 100%

12. Repeat steps from 6 to 11 for all frequencies recorded in step 12 of the test procedure in clause 7.6.2D.1.4.2.
