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 8.8.2.2.4.3.

8.8.2.2.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS transmits PDSCH via EPDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 8.8.2.2.3-2.The details of EPDCCH and PDSCH are specified in Table A.3.10.2-1 and Table A.3.5.2-2 respectively. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.

2. Set the parameters of the propagation condition, the correlation matrix, antenna configuration and the SNR according to Tables 8.8.2.2.5-1 as appropriate.

3. Measure the Pm-dsg on monitoring subframes 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 for monitoring subframes. Pm-dsg is the ratio (statDTX)/(NACK+ACK+statDTX). Also, count the number of statDTX on the UL PUCCH for unmonitoring subframes and calculate the ratio of (number of statDTX on the UL PUCCH for unmonitoring subframes)/( the number of configured unmonitoring subframes). If Pm-dsg is less than the value specified in table 8.8.2.2.5-1 and the ratio of statDTX on the UL PUCCH for unmonitoring subframes is no less than 99.9%+TT, pass the UE. Otherwise fail the UE.

8.8.4.1.4.1 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 EPDCCH 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 8.8.4.1.3-1.

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 8.8.4.1.4.3.

8.8.4.1.4.2 Test procedure

8.8.6.1 FDD Enhanced Downlink Control Channel Performance Requirement Type A for EDPCCH- Distributed Transmission with TM3 Interference Model

8.8.6.1.1 Test purpose

This test verifies the Enhanced downlink control channel performance requirement Type A for distributed EPDCCH transmission with TM3 interference model. This test verifies the receiver characteristics of the EPDCCH which are determined by the probability of miss-detection of the Downlink Scheduling Grant (Pm-dsg).

8.8.6.1.2 Test applicability

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

8.8.6.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements

The purpose of this test is to verify the distributed EPDCCH performance when the serving cell EPDCCH transmission is interfered by two interfering cells applying asynchronous TM3 interference model. The receiver performance of the distributed EPDCCH is determined by the probability of miss-detection of the Downlink Scheduling Grant (Pm-dsg). EPDCCH and PCFICH are tested jointly, i.e. a miss detection of PCFICH implies a miss detection of EPDCCH. The parameters specified in Table 8.8.6.1.3-1.

In Table 8.8.6.1.3-1, Cell 1 is the serving cell, and Cell 2 and Cell 3 are the aggressor cells. The downlink physical setup is in accordance with Annex C.3.2 for each of Cell 1, Cell 2 and Cell 3, respectively. The CRS assistance information [7] is not provided.
