8.3.1.1.3.4 Test description

8.3.1.1.3.4.1 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: Mid Range, as defined in TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.3.1.1.

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 sources to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure A.49.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Tables 8.3.1-1 and 8.3.1.1.3.5-1 as appropriate.

3. Downlink signals are initially set up according to Annex C0, 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 8.3.1.1.3.4.3.

8.3.1.1.3.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Tables 8.3.1.1.3.5-1, 8.3.1.1.3.5-2. 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 #4 and #9 (Table A.2.2.1.1-1).

2. Set the parameters of the bandwidth, MCS, reference channel, the propagation condition, the correlation matrix and the SNR according to Table 8.3.1.1.3.5-2 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 four Tx antennas with beam-forming model as specified in Annex B.4.3 and precoder update granularity specified in Table 8.3.1.1.3.5-1. CSI-RS are sent on antenna ports 15-18 using four Tx antennas with mapping according to beam-forming model as specified in Annex B.4.3.

3. Set the Cell2 –aggressor cell- as defined in Tables 8.3.1.1.3.5-1, 8.3.1.1.3.5-2 and according to Annex B.5.4.

4. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G clause G.3. Count the number of NACKs, ACKs and statDTXs on the UL during each test interval and decide pass or fail according to Tables G.3.5 and G.3.6 in Annex G clause G.3.

8.3.1.3.3_F FDD PDSCH Performance with DCI format 2D, non Quasi Co-located Antenna Ports, Different Cell ID, Colliding CRS and single NZP CSI-RS resource for CoMP
8.3.1.3.3_F.1 Test purpose

To verify the UE capability of supporting non quasi-collocated antenna ports when the UE receives DCI format 2D in a scenario where the two transmission points have different Cell ID and colliding CRS by verifying that the UE, configured with quasi co-location type B, performs correct tracking and compensation of the frequency difference between two transmission points, channel parameters estimation and rate matching behaviour according to the ‘PDSCH RE Mapping and Quasi-Co-Location Indicator’ (PQI) signalling.

8.3.1.3.3_F.2 Test applicability

This test applies to all types of E-UTRA FDD category ≥2 UE release 11 and forward, supporting Maximum CSI processes of One, Three or Four on a component carrier within a band with PDSCH transmission mode 10.

8.3.1.3.3_F.3 Minimum conformance requirements

The requirements are specified in terms of the percentage of information bit throughput for the downlink reference measurement channels specified in Annex A clause A.3.3.3, with the addition of the relevant parameters in Tables 8.3.1-1 and 8.3.1.3.3_F.3-1.

In table 8.3.1.3.3_F.3-1, transmission point 1 (TP 1) is the serving cell transmitting PDCCH, synchronization signals and PBCH, and transmission point 2 (TP 2) transmit PDSCH with different Cell ID. The downlink physical channel setup for TP 1 is according to Table C.3.4-1 and for TP 2 according to Table C.3.4-2.

Using this configuration the fraction of maximum throughput percentage shall meet or exceed the minimum requirements specified in Table 8.3.1.3.3_F.3-2 for the specified SNR.

8.3.1.3.3_F.4 Test description

8.3.1.3.3_F.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: As specified per test number in Table 8.2.2.3.3_C.1.3-2, 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 connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure A.40 for antenna configuration 2×2.

2. The parameter settings for the TP 1 are set up according to tables 8.3.1-1 and 8.3.1.3.3_F.3-1 as appropriate.

3. Downlink signals are initially set up according to Annex C0, 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 8.3.1.3.3_F.4.3.

8.3.1.3.3_F.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS transmits PDCCH DCI format 2D on TP 1 according to Tables 8.3.1.3.3_F.3-1, 8.3.1.3.3_F.3-2 and Annex C3.4.

2. SS transmits PDSCH on TP 2 via PDCCH DCI format 2D for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Tables 8.3.1.3.3_F.3-1, 8.3.1.3.3_F.3-2 and Annex C3.4. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.

3. Set the parameters of the reference channel, the propagation condition, the correlation matrix and the SNR according to Table 8.3.1.3.3_F.5-1 as appropriate.

4. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G clause G.3. Count the number of NACKs, ACKs and statDTXs on the UL during the test interval and decide pass or fail according to Tables G.3.5 and G.3.6 in Annex G clause G.3.
