8.5.2.1 TDD PHICH Single-antenna Port Performance

8.5.2.1.1 Test purpose

This test verifies the demodulation performance of PHICH for a single antenna port with a given SNR for which a certain Hybrid Indicator detection error rate (i.e. missed detection of "NACK to ACK" and "ACK to NACK") of the specified reference measurement channels is achieved.

8.5.2.1.2 Test applicability

This test applies to all types of E-UTRA TDD UE release 8 and forward.

8.5.2.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements

The receiver characteristics of the PHICH are determined by the probability of miss-detecting an ACK for a NACK (Pm-an). It is assumed that there is no bias applied to the detection of ACK and NACK (zero-threshold detection).

8.5.2.1.4 Test description

8.5.2.1.4.1 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

Bandwidths to be tested: As specified per test number in Tables 8.5.2.1.3-2 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.9.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to 8.5.2.1.3-1.

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 8.5.2.1.4.3.

8.5.2.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. Set the parameters of bandwidth, reference Channel, the propagation condition, antenna configuration, the correlation matrix and the SNR according to Table 8.5.2.1.5-1 Test 1 as appropriate.

2. In Each HARQ process (4 HARQ processes for UL/DL configuration 1); SS shall schedule PUSCH transmissions according to Annex A.2.3.1.1 Table A.2.3.1.1-1 via PDCCH DCI format 0 with new data indicator set to true. Since the UE has no payload, the UE shall send uplink MAC padding bits in PUSCH. SS upon receiving the PUSCH transmissions shall transmit the associated ACKs. PHICH is set according to Annex 3.6 Table A.3.6-1. SS will only transmit PDCCH to schedule PUSCH transmission in the appropriate sub-frames. Table 8.5.2.1.4.2-1 indicates the transmissions for one cycle.

3. SS will only monitor for uplink retransmissions due to ACK missed-detections. DTX from the UE side is counted as successful ACK reception, while any transmission on these subframes is counted as NACKs.

Since the UE has no payload, the UE shall send uplink MAC padding bits in PUSCH. SS upon receiving the PUSCH transmissions shall transmit the associated ACKs. PHICH is set according to Annex 3.6 Table A.3.6-1. SS will only transmit PDCCH to schedule PUSCH transmission in the appropriate sub-frames. Table 8.5.2.2.2.4.2-1 indicates the transmissions for one cycle.

3. SS will only monitor for uplink retransmissions due to ACK missed-detections. DTX from the UE side is counted as successful ACK reception, while any transmission on these subframes is counted as NACKs.

4. Repeat steps 1 – 3 for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G clause G.4 and measure Pm-an. Pm-an is (NACK) / (ACK + NACK).

If Pm-an is less than the value specified in table 8.5.2.2.2.5-1, pass the UE. Otherwise fail the UE.

8.5.2.2.3_E.1.4 Test description

8.5.2.2.3_E.1.4.1 Initial conditions

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

Bandwidths to be tested: 10 MHz, 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 connector (s) as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A Figure A.48 for antenna transmit diversity 2×2 configuration.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 8.5.2.2.3_E.1.3-1.

3. Downlink signals 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 clause 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 8.5.2.2.3_E.1.4.3.

8.5.2.2.3_E.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. Set the parameters for Cell1, Cell2 and Cell3 according to Tables 8.5.2.2.3_E.1.3-1, 8.5.2.2.3_E.1.5-1 and C.3.3-2 of Annex C.3.3 as appropriate. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B clause B.2.

2. SS shall schedule PUSCH transmissions according to Annex A.2.3.1.1 Table A.2.3.1.1-1 via PDCCH DCI format 0 with the new data indicator set to true. Since the UE has no payload, the UE shall send uplink MAC padding bits in PUSCH. SS upon receiving the PUSCH transmission shall transmit the associated ACK. PHICH is set according to Annex 3.6 Table A.3.6-1. SS will only transmit PDCCH to schedule PUSCH transmission in the appropriateTTI-s. Table 8.5.2.2.3_E.1.4.2-1 indicates the transmissions for two cycles.

3. SS will only monitor for uplink retransmissions due to ACK missed-detection. Such re-transmission (if it occurs) will potentially happen in TTI 24 (44 and so on). DTX from the UE side on this TTI is counted as successful ACK reception, while any transmission on this TTI is counted as NACK.

4. Repeat steps 1 – 3 for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G clause G.4 and measure Pm-an in the subframes overlapping with ABS of the aggressor cell. Pm-an is (NACK) / (ACK + NACK).

If Pm-an is less than the value specified in table 8.5.2.2.3_E.1.5-2, pass the UE. Otherwise fail the UE.

8.5.2.2.6.4.1 Initial conditions

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: As specified per test number in Table 8.5.2.2.6.3-2 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 8.5.2.2.6.3-1.

3. 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 8.5.2.2.6.4.3.

8.5.2.2.6.4.2 Test procedure

1. Set the parameters of bandwidth, reference Channel, the propagation condition, antenna configuration, the correlation matrix and the SNR according to Table 8.5.2.2.6.5-1.

2. In Each HARQ process (4 HARQ processes for UL/DL configuration 1), SS shall schedule PUSCH transmissions according to Annex A.2.3.1.1 Table A.2.3.1.1-1 via PDCCH DCI format 0 with new data indicator set to true. Since the UE has no payload, the UE shall send uplink MAC padding bits in PUSCH. SS upon receiving the PUSCH transmissions shall transmit the associated ACKs. PHICH is set according to Annex 3.6 Table A.3.6-1. SS will only transmit PDCCH to schedule PUSCH transmission in the appropriate sub-frames. Table 8.5.2.2.6.4.2-1 indicates the transmissions for one cycle.

3. SS will only monitor for uplink retransmissions due to ACK missed-detections. DTX from the UE side is counted as successful ACK reception, while any transmission on these subframes is counted as NACKs.

4. Repeat steps 1 – 3 for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G clause G.4 and measure Pm-an. Pm-an is (NACK) / (ACK + NACK).

If Pm-an is less than the value specified in table 8.5.2.2.6.5-1, pass the UE. Otherwise fail the UE.

8.5.2.2.8 TDD Enhanced Downlink Control Channel Performance Requirement Type B for PHICH- 2 Tx Antenna Ports with Non-Colliding CRS Dominant Interferer

8.5.2.2.8.1 Test purpose

This test verifies the Enhanced downlink control channel performance requirement Type B for PHICH for 2 transmit diversity with Non-Colliding CRS Dominant Interferer with a given SNR for which the average probability of miss detection of Hybrid Indicator ("ACK to NACK") of the specified reference measurement channels remains below a specified value.

8.5.2.2.8.2 Test applicability

This test applies to all types of E-UTRA TDD UE Release 13 and forward supporting Enhanced Downlink Control Channel Performance Requirement Type B. Detailed Test Applicability is specified in clause 8.1.2.7.

8.5.2.2.8.3 Minimum conformance requirements

The receiver characteristics of the PHICH are determined by the probability of miss-detecting an ACK for a NACK (Pm-an). It is assumed that there is no bias applied to the detection of ACK and NACK (zero-threshold detection). The parameters specified in Table 8.5.2.2.8.3-1 and Table 8.5.2.2.8.3-2.

The purpose of this test is to verify the PHICH performance with 2 transmit antennas when the serving cell PHICH transmission is interfered by two interfering cells with the dominant interferer having the non-colliding CRS pattern and applying interference model defined in clause B.7.1. In Table 8.5.2.2.8.3-2, Cell 1 is the serving cell, and Cell 2 and Cell 3 are the aggressor cells. The downlink physical channel setup is according to Annex C.3.2 for each of Cell 1, Cell 2 and Cell 3, respectively. The CRS assistance information [7] is provided and includes Cell 2 and Cell 3.

8.5.2.2.8.4 Test description

8.5.2.2.8.4.1 Initial conditions

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: As specified per test number in Table 8.5.2.2.8.3-2 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 8.5.2.2.8.3-1.

3. 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 8.5.2.2.8.4.3.

8.5.2.2.8.4.2 Test procedure

1. Set the parameters of bandwidth, reference Channel, the propagation condition, antenna configuration, the correlation matrix and the SNR according to Table 8.5.2.2.8.5-1.

2. In Each HARQ process (4 HARQ processes for UL/DL configuration 1), SS shall schedule PUSCH transmissions according to Annex A.2.3.1.1 Table A.2.3.1.1-1 via PDCCH DCI format 0 with new data indicator set to true. Since the UE has no payload, the UE shall send uplink MAC padding bits in PUSCH. SS upon receiving the PUSCH transmissions shall transmit the associated ACKs. PHICH is set according to Annex 3.6 Table A.3.6-1. SS will only transmit PDCCH to schedule PUSCH transmission in the appropriate sub-frames. Table 8.5.2.2.8.4.2-1 indicates the transmissions for one cycle.

3. SS will only monitor for uplink retransmissions due to ACK missed-detections. DTX from the UE side is counted as successful ACK reception, while any transmission on these subframes is counted as NACKs.

4. Repeat steps 1 – 3 for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G clause G.4 and measure Pm-an. Pm-an is (NACK) / (ACK + NACK).

If Pm-an is less than the value specified in table 8.5.2.2.8.5-1, pass the UE. Otherwise fail the UE.
