8.10.3.1.1.4 Test description
8.10.3.1.1.4.1 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 4.3.1.1.
Channel Bandwidths to be tested: 10MHz, as defined in TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.3.1.1
1. Connect the SS, the faders and AWGN noise source to the UE antenna connector (s) as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure A.75.
2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 8.10.3.1.1.3-1.
3. The downlink signals are initially set up according to Annex C.1 and Annex C.3.2 and uplink signals according to Annex H.1 and H.3.2.
4. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B clause 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 8.10.3.1.1.4.3.
8.10.3.1.1.4.2 Test procedure
1. Set the parameters of bandwidth, reference Channel, the propagation condition, antenna configuration, the correlation matrix and the SNR according to Table 8.10.3.1.1.5-1 as appropriate.
2. SS shall schedule PUSCH transmissions according to Annex A.2.2.1.1 Table A.2.2.1.1-1 to happen during 8 consecutive uplink TTIs via PDCCH DCI format 0 with new data indicator set to true. Since the UE has no payload, the UE shall send uplink MAC padding bits in PUSCH. SS upon receiving the PUSCH transmissions will transmit the associated ACKs. PHICH is set according to Annex A.3.6 Table A.3.6-1. SS will only transmit PDCCH to schedule PUSCH transmission in the appropriate sub-frames. Table 8.10.3.1.1.4.2-1 indicates the transmissions for one cycle.

3. SS will only monitor for uplink retransmissions due to ACK missed-detections. Such re-transmissions (if they occur) will potentially happen in TTI 13 to 20. DTXs on TTI 13 to 20 are counted as successful ACK receptions while any transmission on these TTIs is counted as NACKs.
4. Repeat steps 1 – 3 for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G clause G.4 and measure Pm-an. Pm-an is (NACK) / (ACK + NACK).
If Pm-an is less than the value specified in table 8.10.3.1.1.5-1, pass the UE. Otherwise fail the UE.

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 4.3.1.1.
Channel Bandwidths to be tested: 10MHz, as defined in TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.3.1.1
1. Connect the SS, the faders and AWGN noise source to the UE antenna connector (s) as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure A.75.
2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 8.10.3.2.1.3-1.
3. The downlink signals are initially set up according to Annex C.1 and Annex C.3.2 and uplink signals according to Annex H.1 and H.3.2.
4. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B clause 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 8.10.3.2.1.4.3.
8.10.3.2.1.4.2 Test procedure
1. Set the parameters of bandwidth, reference Channel, the propagation condition, antenna configuration, the correlation matrix and the SNR according to Table 8.10.3.2.1.5-1 as appropriate.
2. In Each HARQ process (4 HARQ processes for UL/DL configuration 1); SS shall schedule PUSCH transmissions according to Annex A.2.3.1.1 Table A.2.3.1.1-1 via PDCCH DCI format 0 with new data indicator set to true. Since the UE has no payload, the UE shall send uplink MAC padding bits in PUSCH. SS upon receiving the PUSCH transmissions will transmit the associated ACKs. PHICH is set according to Annex A.3.6 Table A.3.6-1. SS will only transmit PDCCH to schedule PUSCH transmission in the appropriate sub-frames. Table 8.10.3.2.1.4.2-1 indicates the transmissions for one cycle.

3. SS will only monitor for uplink retransmissions due to ACK missed-detections. DTX from the UE siede is counted as successful ACK reception, while any transmission on these subframe is counted as NACKs.
4. Repeat steps 1 – 3 for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G clause G.4 and measure Pm-an. Pm-an is (NACK) / (ACK + NACK).
If Pm-an is less than the value specified in table 8.10.3.2.1.5-1, pass the UE. Otherwise fail the UE.

8.10.3.2.2 TDD PHICH Transmit Diversity 2×4
8.10.3.2.2.1 Test purpose
This test verifies the demodulation performance of PHICH for a single-antenna port with a given SNR for which the average probability of miss-detection of Hybrid Indicator (“ACK to NACK”) of the special reference measurement channels below a specified value.
8.10.3.2.2.2 Test applicability
This test applies to all types of E-UTRA TDD UE release 10 and forward that support 4 Rx antenna ports in any TDD RF band.
8.10.3.2.2.3 Minimum conformance requirements
The receiver characteristics of the PHICH are determined by the probability of miss-detecting an ACK for a NACK (Pm-an). It is assumed that there is no bias applied to the detection of ACK and NACK (zero-threshold delection).
