7.7G Spurious response for V2X Communication

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

7.7G.1 Spurious response for V2X Communication / Non-concurrent with E-UTRA uplink transmissions

7.7G.1.1 Test Purpose

Spurious response for V2X 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 7.6.2G is not met.

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

7.7G.1.2 Test Applicability

This test applies to all types of UE that support V2X Sidelink Communication and Band 47.

7.7G.1.3 Minimum Conformance Requirements

The throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annex A.8.2 with parameters specified in Tables 7.7G.3-1 and 7.7G.3-2.

When UE is configured for simultaneous E-UTRA V2X sidelink and E-UTRA downlink reception for inter-band E-UTRA V2X / E-UTRA bands specified in Table 5.5G-2, the requirements in subclause 7.7G.2.3 apply for the E-UTRA V2X sidelink reception and the requirements in subclause 7.7.3 apply for the E-UTRA downlink reception while all downlink carriers are active.

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

7.7G.2.4 Test description

7.7G.2.4.1 Initial conditions

The initial conditions shall be the same as in clause 7.6.2G.2.4.1 in order to test spurious responses obtained in clause 7.6.2G under the same conditions.

7.7G.2.4.2 Test Procedure

1. The SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.6.2G.2.4.1-1 on E-UTRA Band. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.

2. SS simultaneously sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC and V2X scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 5A for SL_V_RNTI to schedule the V2X RMC according to Table 7.6.2G.2.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL and V2X RMCs.

3. Set the parameters of the CW signal generator for an interfering signal according to Table 7.7G.2.5-2. The spurious frequencies are taken from records in the final step of test procedures in clause 7.6.2G.2.4.2.

4. Set the signal level of V2X to the value defined in table 7.7G.2.5-1.

5. For the spurious frequency, measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G.2.
