7.8.1A.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 wide band intermodulation requirements are defined with the uplink active on the band(s) other than the band whose downlink is being tested. The UE shall meet the requirements specified in subclause 7.8.1.3 for each component carrier while all downlink carriers are active. 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 a component carrier configured in Band 46, the requirements specified in subclause 7.8.1.3 are replaced by the requirements in Table 7.8.1A.0-0. 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 wideband intermodulation requirements of subclause 7.8.1A.0 do not apply.

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 configurations, only the appropriate Uplink RB allocation value according to table 7.3A.0-1 is tested per Test CA configuration. 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 and interfering sources to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] 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 7.8.1A.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 7.8.1.1A.4.3.

7.8.1A.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 7.8.1A.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 7.8.1A.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 7.8.1A.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 Downlink signal level for PCC and SCC to the value as defined in Table 7.8.1A.1.5-1. 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 7.8.1A.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 7.8.1A.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 7.8.1A.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 7.8.1A.1.5-1 + 10log(S_L_CRB/N_{RB_alloc})) for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.

7. Set the Interfering signal levels to the values as defined in Table 7.8.1A.1.5-1 and frequency below the wanted signal, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D of the present document.

8. Measure the average throughput for each component carrier for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G.2A.

9. Repeat steps from 6 to 8, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal at step 7.

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 7.8.1A.5.4.1-1 through Table 7.8.1A.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 7.8.1A.5.4.3.

7.8.1A.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 7.8.1A.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 7.8.1A.5.4.1-1 through Table 7.8.1A.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 7.8.1A.5.4.1-1 through Table 7.8.1A.5.4.1-2 as appropriate on PCC and SCCs. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

6. Set the Downlink signal level to the value as defined in Table 77.8.1A.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 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.

7. Set the Interfering signal levels to the values as defined in Table 7.8.1A.5.4.2-1 and frequency below the measured carrier(s) according to table 7.8.1A.5.4.2-1, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D of the present document.

8. Measure the average throughput for the carrier(s) indicated in table 7.8.1A.5.4.2-1 for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G.2A.

9. Repeat steps from 6 to 8, using an interfering signal above the measured carrier(s) according to table 7.8.1A.5.4.2-1.

10. Repeat steps 6 to 9 for component carriers listed in table 7.8.1A.5.4.2-1.

The initial test configurations consist of environmental conditions, test frequencies, and channel bandwidths based on E-UTRA CA configurations specified in table 5.4.2A.1-1 through table 5.4.2A.1-2a. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each channel bandwidth, and are shown in table 7.8.1A.7.4.1-1 through table 7.8.1A.7.4.1-6 as appropriate. The details of the uplink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annex A.2 and A.3. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2.

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 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 7.8.1A.7.4.1-1 through Table 7.8.1A.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 7.3A.5.4.3.

7.8.1A.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 7.8.1A.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 7.8.1A.7.4.1-1 through Table7.8.1A.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 7.8.1A.7.4.1-1 through Table 7.8.1A.7.4.1-2 as appropriate on PCC and SCCs. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

6. Set the Downlink signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.8.1A.7.5-1 or 7.8.1A.7.5-2. 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 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.

7. Set the Interfering signal levels to the values as defined in 7.8.1A.7.5-1 or 7.8.1A.7.5-2 and frequency below the measured carrier(s) according to table 7.8.1A.7.4.2-1, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D of the present document.

8. Measure the average throughput for the carrier(s) indicated in table 7.8.1A.7.4.2-1 for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G.2A.

9. Repeat steps from 6 to 8, using an interfering signal above the measured carrier(s) according to table 7.8.1A.7.4.2-1.

10. Repeat steps 6 to 9 for component carriers listed in table 7.8.1A.7.4.2-1.

7.8.1A.8.4 Test description

7.8.1A.8.4.1 Initial conditions

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 channel bandwidths based on E-UTRA CA configurations specified in table 5.4.2A.1-1 through table 5.4.2A.1-2a. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each channel bandwidth, and are shown in table 7.8.1A.8.4.1-1 through table 7.8.1A.8.4.1-2 as appropriate. The details of the uplink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annex A.2 and A.3. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2.

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 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_1A-3A-28A-42C, X=1, Y=3, Z=28 and R=42.

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.

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 + Inter-band: X,Y,Z,R correspond to the different bands in the CA Configuration. E.g. for CA_2A-2A-5A-12A-66A,X=2,Y=5,Z=12,R=66.

Note 5: Intra-band non-contiguous + Intra-band contiguous: X,Y corresponds to the band of the CA Configuration. E.g. for CA_5A-5A-66D,X=5,Y=66.

Note 6: Intra-band non-contiguous + Intra-band non-contiguous: X,Y,Z correspond to the different bands in the CA Configuration. E.g. for CA_2A-2A-5A-66A-66A,X=2,Y=5,Z=66.

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.

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 7.8.1A.8.4.1-1 through Table 7.8.1A.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 7.8.1A.8.4.3.

7.8.1A.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 7.8.1A.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 7.8.1A.8.4.1-1 through Table 7.8.1A.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 7.8.1A.8.4.1-1 through Table 7.8.1A.8.4.1-2 as appropriate on PCC and SCCs. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

6. Set the Downlink signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.8.1A.8.5-1 or 7.8.1A.8.5-2. 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 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.

7. Set the Interfering signal levels to the values as defined in 7.8.1A.8.5-1 or 7.8.1A.8.5-2 and frequency below the measured carrier(s) according to table 7.8.1A.8.4.2-1, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D of the present document.

8. Measure the average throughput for the carrier(s) indicated in table 7.8.1A.8.4.2-1 for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G.2A.

9. Repeat steps from 6 to 8, using an interfering signal above the measured carrier(s) according to table 7.8.1A.8.4.2-1.

10. Repeat steps 6 to 9 for component carriers listed in table 7.8.1A.8.4.2-1.

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 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 + Inter-band: X,Y,Z,R correspond to the different bands in the CA Configuration. E.g. for CA_2A-2A-5A-12A-66A,X=2,Y=5,Z=12,R=66.

Note 5: Intra-band non-contiguous + Intra-band contiguous: X,Y corresponds to the band of the CA Configuration. E.g. for CA_5A-5A-66D,X=5,Y=66.

Note 6: Intra-band non-contiguous + Intra-band non-contiguous: X,Y,Z correspond to the different bands in the CA Configuration. E.g. for CA_2A-2A-5A-5A-66A-66A,X=2,Y=5,Z=66.

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.

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 7.8.1A.9.4.1-1 through Table 7.8.1A.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 7.8.1A.9.4.3.

7.8.1A.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 7.8.1A.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 7.8.1A.9.4.1-1 through Table 7.8.1A.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 7.8.1A.9.4.1-1 through Table 7.8.1A.9.4.1-2 as appropriate on PCC and SCCs. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

6. Set the Downlink signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.8.1A.9.5-1 or 7.8.1A.9.5-2. 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 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.

7. Set the Interfering signal levels to the values as defined in 7.8.1A.9.5-1 or 7.8.1A.9.5-2 and frequency below the measured carrier(s) according to table 7.8.1A.9.4.2-1, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D of the present document.

8. Measure the average throughput for the carrier(s) indicated in table 7.8.1A.9.4.2-1 for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G.2A.

9. Repeat steps from 6 to 8, using an interfering signal above the measured carrier(s) according to table 7.8.1A.9.4.2-1.

10. Repeat steps 6 to 9 for component carriers listed in table 7.8.1A.9.4.2-1.
