8.1 General
36.521-13GPPEvolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA)Part 1: Conformance testingRadio transmission and receptionRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) conformance specification
The performance requirements for the physical channels specified in TS 36.211 [8] clause 6 (for downlink physical channels) shall be as defined in the respective sections below.
The requirements for the UE in this clause are specified for the downlink reference measurement channels specified in Annex A, the propagation conditions specified in Annex B and the downlink physical channels specified in Annex C.
Unless otherwise stated the throughput measurements in clause 8 shall be performed according to the general rules for statistical testing in Annex G clause G.3.
The requirement for a UE that support E-UTRA in downlink shall be tested according to the declared UE PDSCH category and CA capabilities.
The fading of the signals and the AWGN signals applied to each receiver antenna connector shall be uncorrelated. The levels of the test signal applied to each of the antenna connectors shall be as defined in the respective test cases.
The UE performance in this section is considered to be operating band independent. Therefore, the required performance in the respective test cases can be verified in one of the operating bands supported by the UE under test. All the test points supported by the bands of the multiband UE (based on channel bandwidth, DL and UL configuration) need to be tested.
For CA testing, unless otherwise stated, the logical carriers PCC / SCC are mapped on physical frequencies as defined in Table 8.1-1.

Note 3: The ordering and numbering of the SCCs does not imply any order in the TC implementation of the SCCs. |

8.1.1 Receiver antenna capability
The performance requirements are based on UE(s) that utilize one or more antenna receivers.
For all test cases, the SNR is defined as:
,
where NRX denotes the number of receiver antenna connectors and the superscript receiver antenna connector j. The above SNR definition assumes that the REs are not precoded. The SNR definition does not account for any gain which can be associated to the precoding operation. The relative power of physical channels transmitted is defined in Table C.3.2-1. The SNR requirement applies for the UE categories and CA capabilities given for each test.
For enhanced performance requirements type A, the SINR is defined as
where NRX denotes the number of receiver antenna connectors and the superscript receiver antenna connector j. The above SINR definition assumes that the REs are not precoded. The SINR definition does not account for any gain which can be associated to the precoding operation. The relative power of physical channels transmitted is defined in Table C.3.2-1. The SINR requirement applies for the UE categories given for each test.
For the performance requirements specified in this clause, it is assumed that NRX=2 unless otherwise stated.

8.1.2 Applicability of requirements
8.1.2.1 Applicability of requirements for different channel bandwidths
In Clause 8 the test cases may be defined with different channel bandwidth to verify the same target FRC conditions with the same propagation conditions, correlation matrix and antenna configuration.
Test cases defined for 5MHz channel bandwidth that reference this clause are applicable to UEs that support only Band 31, 72 and/or 73.

8.1.2.6 Applicability of performance requirements for 4Rx capable UEs
For 4Rx capable UEs, the 2Rx supported RF bands and 4Rx supported RF bands are up to UE’s declaration.
8.1.2.6.1 Applicability rule and antenna connection for single carrier tests with 2Rx
For 4Rx capable UEs all single carrier tests specified in 8.2 to 8.8 with 2Rx are tested on any of the 2 Rx supported RF bands by connecting 2 out of the 4Rx with data source from system simulator, and the other 2 Rx are connected with zero input, depending on UE’s declaration and AP configuration. Same requirements specified with 2Rx should be applied.
For 4Rx capable UEs without any 2Rx RF bands (see note), all single carrier tests specified in 8.2 to 8.8 with 2Rx are tested on any of the 4Rx supported RF bands by duplicating the fading channel from each Tx antenna and add independent noise for each Rx antenna. Figure 8.1.2.6.1-1 shows an example of antenna connection for 4Rx UE in any one 4Rx supported RF band to perform a 2Rx performance test with antenna configuration as 2×2 without interference for information. The SNR requirements should be applied with 1.5 dB less than the number specified with 2Rx for test configuration with CRS-based TM and with 1.5 dB less than the number specified with 2Rx for test configuration with DMRS-based TM.
Figure 8.1.2.6.1-1: Antenna connection example for 2Rx tests with antenna configuration as 2×2 without interference (informative)
For 4Rx capable UEs without any 2Rx supported RF bands (see note), for all single carrier tests listed in Table 8.1.2.6.1-0 specified from 8.2 to 8.8 with 2Rx can be skipped.
Note: The band capability of the 4Rx UEs and corresponding test case applicability needs to be determined separately per frame structure {FDD, TDD, FS3}

8.1.2.6.2 Applicability rule and antenna connection for CA and DC tests with 2Rx
All tests specified in 8.2 to 8.8 with 2Rx with CA, TDD-FDD CA and DC are tested with 4 Rx capable UEs.
Within the CA/DC configuration if any of the PCell and/or the SCells and/or PSCells is a 2Rx supported RF band, the antenna connection should follow the same method as defined in 8.1.2.6.1 for single carrier tests on any of the 2Rx supported RF bands, with same requirements specified with 2Rx applied. Within the CA configuration if any of the PCell and/or the SCells and/or PSCells is a 4Rx supported RF band, the antenna connection should follow the same as defined in 8.1.2.6.1 for single carrier tests on any of the 4 Rx supported RF bands, with the SNR requirements applied with 1.5 dB less than the number specified with 2Rx.
Same applicability rules defined in 8.1.2.3, 8.1.2.3A, and 8.1.2.3B for CA, TDD-FDD CA and DC applied for different CA and DC configurations and bandwidth combination sets should be applied for 4 Rx capable UEs.
8.1.2.6.3 Applicability rule and antenna connection for single carrier tests with 4Rx
For 4Rx capable UEs all single carrier tests specified in 8.10 with 4Rx are tested on any of the 4Rx supported RF bands by connecting all 4Rx with data source from system simulator.
8.1.2.6.4 Applicability rule for 256QAM tests
For 256QAM capable UE, if corresponding tests specified in 8.10.1.1.4 Test 2 and 8.10.1.2.4 Test 2 are tested, the test coverage can be considered fulfilled without executing the tests specified in 8.10.1.1.4 Test 1 and 8.10.1.2.4 Test 1. For a UE which does not have 256QAM capability, the test specified in 8.10.1.1.4 Test 1 and 8.10.1.2.4 Test 1 should be used.
8.1.2.6.5 Applicability rule and antenna connection for CA and DC tests with 4Rx
All tests specified in 8.13 with FDD CA/DC, TDD CA/DC and TDD-FDD CA/DC are tested with 4 Rx capable UEs.
Within the CA/DC configuration if any of the PCell and/or the SCells/PSCell is a 2Rx supported RF band, 2 out of the 4Rx should be connected with data source from system simulator, and the other 2Rx are connected with zero input, depending on UE’s declaration and AP configuration. Within the CA/DC configuration if any of the PCell and/or the SCells is a 4Rx supported RF band, all 4Rx should be connected with data source from system simulator.
For 4Rx capable UEs supporting different CA/DC configurations and bandwidth combination sets, the applicability and test rules are defined in Table 8.1.2.6.5-1 for FDD CA/DC, TDD CA/DC and TDD-FDD CA/DC. For simplicity, CA/DC configuration below refers to combination of CA/DC configuration and bandwidth combination set.
