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: Maximum Wgap for Intra-band non-contiguous CA, otherwise Mid Range, as defined in TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.3.1.
Channel Bandwidths to be tested: The maximum aggregated bandwidth in the selected CA configuration, as defined in clause 8.1.2.6.5.
CA Capability to be tested: The CA capability containing the maximum number of 4Rx supported CCs, as defined in clause 8.1.2.6.5.
1. Connect the SS, the faders and AWGN noise source to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure A.95.
2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 8.2.2-1 and 8.13.2.1.1.1-1 as appropriate.
3. Downlink signals for PCC are initially set up according to Annex C.0, 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.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 8.13.2.1.1.4.4.3.
8.13.2.1.1.4.4.2 Test procedure
1. Configure SCCs according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.2 for all downlink physical channels.
2. The SS shall configure SCCs as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 8.13.2.1.1.4.4.3.
3. The SS activates SCCs by sending the MAC-CE according to TS 36.321 [13] clauses 5.13 and 6.1.3.8. Wait for at least 2 seconds as per TS 36.133 [4] clause 8.3.3.2.
4. The SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 8.13.2.1.1.4.5-2. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.
5. The SS schedules the UL transmission to carry the PUSCH CSI feedback via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CSI request bit set to ‘10’ and I_MCS=29 and N_PRB allocated to be less or equal to 20.
6. Set the parameters of the bandwidth, MCS, reference channel, the propagation condition, the correlation matrix and the SNR on each of the component carriers according to Table 8.13.2.1.1.4.5-1 as appropriate.
7. Measure the average throughput per component carrier for duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G clause G.3A.5 on each of the component carriers. Count the number of NACKs, ACKs and statDTXs on the UL during each subtest on each of the component carriers.

8.13.2.1.3.4 Test description
8.13.2.1.3.4.1 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: Maximum WGap for Intra-band non-contiguous CA, otherwise Mid Range, as defined in TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.3.1.
Channel Bandwidths to be tested: The maximum aggregated bandwidth in the selected CA configuration, as defined in clause 8.1.2.6.5.
CA Capability to be tested: The CA capability containing the maximum number of 4Rx supported CCs, as defined in clause 8.1.2.6.5.
1. Connect the SS, the faders and AWGN noise sources to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure A.95.
2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 8.13.2.1.3.3-1 as appropriate.
3. Downlink signals for PCC are initially set up according to Annex C.0, 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.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 8.13.2.1.3.4.3.
8.13.2.1.3.4.2 Test procedure
1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.2 for all downlink physical channels.
2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 8.13.2.1.3.4.3.
3. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC-CE (Refer TS 36.321 [13], clauses 5.13, 6.1.3.8). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 36.133, clauses 8.3.3.2).
4. For multi-layer spatial multiplexing, SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Tables 8.13.2.1.3.3-2 and 8.13.2.1.3.3-3 on both PCC and SCC. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.
5. SS schedules the UL transmission to carry the PUSCH CQI feedback via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CQI request bit set to ‘10’ and I_MCS=29 and N_PRB allocated to be less or equal to 20.
6. Set the parameters of the bandwidth, MCS, reference channel, the propagation condition, the correlation matrix, antenna configuration and the SNR according to Tables 8.13.2.1.3.5-1 as appropriate.
7. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G clause G.3 on each of the component carriers. Count the number of NACKs, ACKs and statDTXs on the UL during the test interval and decide pass or fail according to Tables G.3A.5 and G.3A.6 in Annex G clause G.3.

Frequencies to be tested: Maximum WGap for Intra-band non-contiguous CA, otherwise Mid Range, as defined in TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.3.1.
Channel Bandwidths to be tested: The maximum aggregated bandwidth in the selected CA configuration, as defined in clause 8.1.2.6.5.
CA Capability to be tested: The CA capability containing the maximum number of 4Rx supported CCs, as defined in clause 8.1.2.6.5.
1. Connect the SS, the faders and AWGN noise sources to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure A.95.
2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 8.13.2.1.4.3-1 as appropriate.
3. Downlink signals for PCC are initially set up according to Annex C.0, 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.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 8.13.1.1.3.4.3.
8.13.2.1.4.4.2 Test procedure
1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.2 for all downlink physical channels.
2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 8.13.1.2.2.4.3.
3. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC-CE (Refer TS 36.321 [13], clauses 5.13, 6.1.3.8). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 36.133, clauses 8.3.3.2).
4. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Tables 8.13.2.1.4.3-2 and 8.13.2.1.4.3-3 on both PCC and SCC. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.
5. SS schedules the UL transmission to carry the PUSCH CQI feedback via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CQI request bit set to ‘10’ and I_MCS=29 and N_PRB allocated to be less or equal to 20.
6. Set the parameters of the bandwidth, MCS, reference channel, the propagation condition, the correlation matrix, antenna configuration and the SNR according to Tables 8.13.2.1.4.5-1 as appropriate.
7. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G clause G.3 on each of the component carriers. Count the number of NACKs, ACKs and statDTXs on the UL during the test interval and decide pass or fail according to Tables G.3A.5 and G.3A.6 in Annex G clause G.3.

8.13.2.3.1.4 Test description
8.13.2.3.1.4.1 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: Maximum WGap for Intra-band non-contiguous CA, otherwise Mid Range, as defined in TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.3.1.
Channel Bandwidths to be tested: The maximum aggregated bandwidth in the selected CA configuration, as defined in clause 8.1.2.6.5.
CA Capability to be tested: The CA capability containing the maximum number of 4Rx supported CCs, as defined in clause 8.1.2.6.5
1. Connect the SS, the faders and AWGN noise sources to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure A.94.
2. The parameter settings for cell 1 are set up according to Tables 8.13.2.3.1.5-1 as appropriate.
3. Downlink signals for PCC are initially set up according to Annex C.0, 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.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 8.13.2.3.1.4.3.
8.13.2.3.1.4.2 Test procedure
1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.2 for all downlink physical channels.
2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 8.13.2.3.1.4.3.
3. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC-CE (Refer TS 36.321 [13], clauses 5.13, 6.1.3.8). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 36.133 [4], clauses 8.3.3.2).
4. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1B for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Tables 8.13.2.3.1.5-1 and 8.13.2.3.1.5-2 on both PCC and SCC. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. The SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CQI request bit set to 0 to schedule UL RMC in subframe #2, #3, #7 and #8 (Table A.2.3.1.2-1).
5. SS sets up parameters for interfering cells (cell 2 for PCC and SCC) according to table 8.13.2.3.1.5-1 as appropriate.
6. Set the parameters of the bandwidth, MCS, reference channel, the propagation condition, the correlation matrix, antenna configuration and the SINR according to Tables 8.13.2.3.1.5-2 and 8.13.2.3.1.5-3 as appropriate.
7. Measure the average throughput per component carrier for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G clause G.3A.5, on both PCC and SCC. Count the number of NACKs, ACKs and statDTXs on the UL during each subtest on both component carriers.

8.13.2.4.1.4 Test description
8.13.2.4.1.4.1 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: Maximum WGap for Intra-band non-contiguous CA, otherwise Mid Range, as defined in TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.3.1.
Channel Bandwidths to be tested: The maximum aggregated bandwidth in the selected CA configuration, as defined in clause 8.1.2.6.5.
CA Capability to be tested: The CA capability containing the maximum number of 4Rx supported CCs, as defined in clause 8.1.2.6.5
1. Connect the SS, the faders and AWGN noise source to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure group A.94.
2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 8.13.2.4.1.3-1 as appropriate.
3. Downlink signals for PCC are initially set up according to Annex C.0, 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.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 8.13.2.4.1.4.3.
8.13.2.4.1.4.2 Test procedure
1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.2 for all downlink physical channels.
2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 8.13.2.4.1.4.3.
3. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC-CE (Refer TS 36.321 [13], clauses 5.13, 6.1.3.8). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 36.133 [4], clauses 8.3.3.2).
4. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Tables 8.13.2.4.1.3-1, 8.13.2.4.1.3-2 and 8.13.2.4.1.3-3 on both PCC and SCC. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. The SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CQI request bit set to 0 to schedule UL RMC in subframe#2, #3, #7 and #8 (Table A.2.3.1.2-1).
5. Set the parameters of the bandwidth, MCS, reference channel, the propagation condition, the correlation matrix, antenna configuration and the SNR according to Tables 8.13.2.4.1.5-2 and 8.13.2.4.1.5-3 as appropriate.
BCH/CRS/PDCCH/PCFICH are sent on antenna ports 0 and 1 using two Tx antennas, while DRS/PDSCH for the test UE are sent on antenna port 7 (or 8) using two Tx antennas with beam-forming model as specified in Annex B.4.3 and precoder update granularity specified in Table 8.13.2.4.1.5-1. CSI-RS are sent on antenna ports 15 and 16 using two Tx antennas with mapping according to beam-forming model as specified in Annex B.4.3.
6. Set the interfering cells (cell 2 for PCC and SCC) –aggressor cell– as defined in Tables 8.13.2.4.1.5-1, 8.13.2.4.1.5-2 and according to Annex B.5.4.
7. Measure the average throughput per component carrier for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G clause G.3A.5, on both PCC and SCC. Count the number of NACKs, ACKs and statDTXs on the UL during each subtest on both component carriers.

Note 1: Note 2: The respective received power spectral density of each interfering cell relative to is defined by its associated DIP value as specified in clause B.5.1. Note 3: The modulation symbols of the signal under test in Cell 1 are mapped onto antenna port 7 or 8. Note 4: The precoder in clause B.4.3 follows UE recommended PMI. Note 5: If the UE reports in an available uplink reporting instance at subframe SF#n based on PMI estimation at a downlink SF not later than SF#(n-4), this reported PMI cannot be applied at the eNB downlink before SF#(n+4). Note 6: These physical resource blocks are assigned to an arbitrary number of virtual UEs with one PDSCH per virtual UE; the data transmitted over the OCNG PDSCHs shall be uncorrelated pseudo random data, which is QPSK modulated. Note 7: All cells are time-synchronous. Note 8: To avoid collisions between CQI reports and HARQ-ACK it is necessary to report both on PUSCH instead of PUCCH. PDCCH DCI format 0 shall be transmitted in downlink SF#1, SF#4, SF#6 and #9 to allow periodic CQI to multiplex with the HARQ-ACK on PUSCH in uplink subframe SF#7, SF#8, SF#2 and #3. Note 9: ACK/NACK bits are transmitted using PUSCH with PUCCH format 1b with channel selection configured for tests with 2 CCs. |
