8.2.4.1.1.4 Test description
8.2.4.1.1.4.1 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 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.
Channel Bandwidths to be tested: 2x20MHz, according to Table 8.2.4.1.1.3-6.
CA Capability to be tested: According to Table 8.2.4.1.1.3-6
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.46 as appropriate.
2. The parameter settings for Pcell are set up according to Table 8.2.4.1.1.3-1 as appropriate.
3. Downlink signals for PCC are initially set up according to Annex C0, 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 8.2.4.1.1.4.3.
8.2.4.1.1.4.2 Test procedure
1. Configure the LAA SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.2 for all downlink physical channels. The parameter settings for the LAA SCC are specified in 8.2.4.1.1.3-1 and 8.2.4.1.1.3-2. Additionally, the SS shall configure the PCC and the SCC according to 8.2.4.1.1.3-3.
2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 8.2.4.1.1.4.3.
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 2 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 8.2.4.1.1.3-4 for PCC. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.
5. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Tables 8.2.4.1.1.3-2 and 8.2.4.1.1.3-5 for LAA SCC. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. SS transmits PDCCH DCI format 1C for CC_RNTI in the last two subframes of every burst to indicate number of OFDM symbols in the DwPTS of ending partial subframe if required depending on UE capability according to TS 36.213 clause 13A as described in Table 8.2.4.1.1.3-5.
6. SS schedules the UL transmission to carry the PUSCH CSI feedback via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CSI request bit set to ‘10’ and IM_MCS=29 and N_PRB allocated to be less or equal to 20.
7. 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 Tables 8.2.4.1.1.5-1 and 8.2.4.1.1.5-2 for the PCell and the LAA SCell, respectively.
8. 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 LAA SCC. Count the number of NACKs, ACKs and statDTXs on the UL during the test interval, for each component carrier and decide pass or fail according to Tables G.3.5 and G.3.6 in Annex G clause G.3.

8.2.4.1.2.4 Test description
8.2.4.1.2.4.1 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 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.
Channel Bandwidths to be tested: 2x20MHz, according to Table 8.2.4.1.2.3-6.
CA Capability to be tested: According to Table 8.2.4.1.2.3-6
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.46 as appropriate.
2. The parameter settings for Pcell are set up according to Table 8.2.4.1.2.3-1 as appropriate.
3. Downlink signals for PCC are initially set up according to Annex C0, 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 8.2.4.1.2.4.3.
8.2.4.1.2.4.2 Test procedure
1. Configure the LAA SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.2 for all downlink physical channels. The parameter settings for the LAA SCC are specified in 8.2.4.1.2.3-1 and 8.2.4.1.2.3-2. Additionally, the SS shall configure the PCC and the SCC according to 8.2.4.1.2.3-3.
2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 8.2.4.1.2.4.3.
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 [4], clauses 8.3.3.2).
4. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 8.2.4.1.2.3-4 for PCC. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.
5. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Tables 8.2.4.1.2.3-2 and 8.2.4.1.2.3-5 for LAA SCC. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. SS transmits PDCCH DCI format 1C for CC_RNTI in the last two subframes of every burst to indicate number of OFDM symbols in the DwPTS of ending partial subframe if required depending on UE capability according to TS 36.213 clause 13A as described in Table 8.2.4.1.2.3-5.
6. 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.
7. 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 Tables 8.2.4.1.2.5-1 and 8.2.4.1.2.5-2 for the PCell and the LAA SCell, respectively.
8. 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 LAA SCC. Count the number of NACKs, ACKs and statDTXs on the UL during the test interval, for each component carrier and decide pass or fail according to Tables G.3.5 and G.3.6 in Annex G clause G.3.
