8.10.2.2.3.4 Test description

8.10.2.2.3.4.1 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.

Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2.

Test Environment: Normal, as defined in TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.1.

Frequencies to be tested: Mid Range, as defined in TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.3.1.2.

Channel Bandwidths to be tested: 5 MHz, as defined in TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.3.1.2.

1. Connect the SS, the faders, and AWGN noise sources to the UE antenna connector(s) as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure A.74.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 8.10.2.2.3.3-1.

3. Downlink signals are initially set up according to Annex C.0, C.1, and C.3.2 and uplink signals according to Annex H.1 and H.3.2.

4. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0.

5. Ensure the UE is in State 3A-RF according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.2. Message contents are defined in clause 8.10.2.2.3.4.3.

8.10.2.2.3.4.2 Test procedure

1. The SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 8.10.2.2.3.3-2. The details of PDCCH and PDSCH are specified in Table A.3.5.2-1A and Table A.3.5.2-2 respectively. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. Transmission scheme for the PDSCH shall be transmit diversity.

2. Set the parameters of the propagation condition, the correlation matrix, antenna configuration and the SNR according to Table 8.10.2.2.3.5-1 as appropriate.

3. Measure the Pm-dsg for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G.4. Count the number of NACKs, ACKs and statDTXs on the UL PUCCH during each subtest interval. Pm-dsg is the radio (statDTX)/(NACK +ACK+statDTX). If Pm-dsg is less than the value specified in Table 8.10.2.2.3.5-1, pass the UE. Otherwise fail the UE.
