8.4.1.2.3_E.1.4 Test description

8.4.1.2.3_E.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 sources to the UE antenna connector (s) as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure A.48 for antenna configuration 2×2.

2. The parameter settings for the cell1 are set up according to Tables 8.4.1.2.3_E.1.3-1 and 8.4.1.2.3_E.1.3-2.

3. The 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 clauses B.0.

5. Ensure the UE is in State 3A-RF according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.2 with exceptions listed in 5.2A.5. Message contents are defined in clause 8.4.1.2.3_E.1.4.3.

8.4.1.2.3_E.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. Set the parameters for Cell 1, Cell 2 and Cell 3, according to Tables 8.4.1.2.3_E.1.5-1, 8.4.1.2.3_E.1.5-2, Annex C.3.2 for Cell 1, and Annex C.3.3 for Cell 2 and Cell 3. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC. The details of PDCCH and PDSCH are specified in Table A.3.5.1-1 and Table A.3.5.1-2 respectively.

2. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. Transmission scheme for the PDSCH shall be transmit diversity. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B clause B.2.

3. Measure the Pm-dsg in the subframes overlapping with ABS of the aggressor cell for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G clause 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 8.4.1.2.3_E.1.5-2, pass the UE. Otherwise fail the UE.

8.4.1.2.3_E.2.4 Test description

8.4.1.2.3_E.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 4.3.1.1.

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 sources to the UE antenna connector (s) as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure A.48 for antenna configuration 2×2.

2. The parameter settings for the cell1 are set up according to Tables 8.4.1.2.3_E.2.3-1 and 8.4.1.2.3_E.2.3-2.

3. The 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 clauses B.0.

5. Ensure the UE is in State 3A-RF according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.2 with exceptions listed in 5.2A.5. Message contents are defined in clause 8.4.1.2.3_E.2.4.3.

8.4.1.2.3_E.2.4.2 Test procedure

1. Set the parameters for Cell 1, Cell 2 and Cell3, according to Tables 8.4.1.2.3_E.2.5-1, 8.4.1.2.3_E.2.5-2, Annex C.3.2 for Cell 1, and Annex C.3.3 for Cell 2 and Cell 3. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC. The details of PDCCH and PDSCH are specified in Table A.3.5.1-1 and Table A.3.5.1-2 respectively. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. Transmission scheme for the PDSCH shall be transmit diversity. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B clause B.2.

2. Measure the Pm-dsg in the subframes overlapping with ABS of the aggressor cell for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G clause 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 8.4.1.2.3_E.2.5-2, pass the UE. Otherwise fail the UE.

8.4.1.2.8.4 Test description

8.4.1.2.8.4.1 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 sources to the UE antenna connector (s) as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure A.48 for antenna configuration 2×2.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 8.4.1.2.8.3-1 and Table 8.4.1.2.8.3-2.

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 clauses 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 8.4.1.2.8.4.3.

8.4.1.2.8.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 8.4.1.2.8.3-2.The details of PDCCH and PDSCH are specified in Table A.3.5.1-1 and Table A.3.5.1-2 respectively. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. Transmission scheme for the PDSCH shall be closed loop spatial multiplexing.

2. Set the parameters of the propagation condition, antenna configuration, the correlation matrix and the SNR according to Table 8.4.1.2.8.5-1.

3. Measure the Pm-dsg for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G clause 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 8.4.1.2.8.5-1, pass the UE. Otherwise fail the UE.

8.4.1.2.8.4.3 Message contents

Message contents are according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.8.1 with the following exceptions:
