7.8.1G.1 Wide band Intermodulation for V2X Communication / Non-concurrent with E-UTRA uplink transmissions
7.8.1G.1.1 Test Purpose
Intermodulation response for V2X tests the UE’s ability to receive data with a given average throughput for a specified reference measurement channel, in the presence of two or more interfering signals which have a specific frequency relationship to the wanted signal, under conditions of ideal propagation and no added noise.
A UE unable to meet the throughput requirement under these conditions will decrease the coverage area when two or more interfering signals exist which have a specific frequency relationship to the wanted signal.
7.8.1G.1.2 Test Applicability
This test applies to all types of UE that support V2X Sidelink Communication and Band 47.
7.8.1G.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 Table 7.8.1G.1.3-1 for the specified wanted signal mean power in the presence of two interfering signals

1. The SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Tables 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 7.8.1G.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 Downlink signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.8.1G.2.5-1. 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 in E-UTRA channel is within +0, – 3.4 dB of the target level in Table 7.8.1.5-1 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.
4. Set the Interfering signal levels to the values as defined in Table 7.8.1G.2.5-1 and frequency below the wanted signal, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D of the present document.
