8.10.4.1.1.4 Test description
8.10.4.1.1.4.1 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 EPDCCH 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.76 for antenna configuration 2×4.
2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 8.10.4.1.1.3-1.
3. The downlink signals are initially set up according to Annex 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 8.10.4.1.1.4.3.
8.10.4.1.1.4.2 Test procedure
1. SS transmits PDSCH via EPDCCH DCI format 2A for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 8.10.4.1.1.3-2. The details of EPDCCH and PDSCH are specified in Table A.3.10.1-1 and Table A.3.5.1-2 respectively. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.
2. Set the parameters of the propagation condition, antenna configuration, the correlation matrix and the SNR according to Table 8.10.4.1.1.5-1 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 ratio (statDTX)/(NACK+ACK+statDTX). If Pm-dsg is less than the value specified in table 8.10.4.1.1.5-1, pass the UE. Otherwise fail the UE.

Note 1: The starting symbol for EPDCCH is signalled with epdcch-StartSymbol-r11. However, CFI is set to 1. Note 2: The first set is distributed transmission with PRB = {0, 49} and the second set is localized transmission with PRB = {0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49}. ePDCCH is scheduled in the second set for all tests. Note 3: EPDCCH is scheduled in every SF. UE is required to monitor ePDCCH for UE-specific search space only in SFs configured by subframePatternConfig-r11. Legacy PDCCH is not scheduled. Note 4: Demodulation performance is averaged over normal and special subframe. |

For the parameters specified in Table 8.10.4.2.2.3-1 the average probability of a missed downlink scheduling grant (Pm-dsg) shall be below the specified value in Table 8.10.4.2.2.3-2. EPDCCH subframe monitoring is configured and the subframe monitoring requirement in EPDCCH restricted subframes is statDTX of 99.9%.
The downlink physical setup is in accordance with Annex C.3.2.

8.10.4.2.2.4 Test description
8.10.4.2.2.4.1 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 EPDCCH 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: 10MHz, as defined in TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.3.1.2.
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.76 for antenna configuration 2×4.
2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to 8.10.4.2.2.3-1.
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 8.10.4.2.2.4.3.
8.10.4.2.2.4.2 Test procedure
1. SS transmits PDSCH via EPDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 8.10.4.2.2.3-2.The details of EPDCCH and PDSCH are specified in Table A.3.10.2-1 and Table A.3.5.2-2 respectively. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.
2. Set the parameters of the propagation condition, the correlation matrix, antenna configuration and the SNR according to Tables 8.10.4.2.2.5-1 as appropriate.
3. Measure the Pm-dsg on monitoring subframes 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 for monitoring subframes. Pm-dsg is the ratio (statDTX)/(NACK+ACK+statDTX). Also, count the number of statDTX on the UL PUCCH for unmonitoring subframes and calculate the ratio of (number of statDTX on the UL PUCCH for unmonitoring subframes)/( the number of configured unmonitoring subframes). If Pm-dsg is less than the value specified in table 8.10.4.2.2.5-1 and the ratio of statDTX on the UL PUCCH for unmonitoring subframes is no less than 99.9%+TT, pass the UE. Otherwise fail the UE.
