8.9.1.1.3.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Tables 8.9.1.1.3.3-1, 8.9.1.1.3.3-2. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.

2. Set the parameters of the bandwidth, MCS, reference channel, the propagation condition, the correlation matrix and the SNR according to Table 8.9.1.1.3.5-1 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 two Tx antennas with beam-forming model as specified in Annex B.4.1 and precoder update granularity specified in Table 8.9.1.1-1. CSI-RS are sent on antenna ports 15-22 using two Tx antennas with mapping according to beam-forming model as specified in Annex B.4.1.

3. 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.

8.9.2.2.1 TDD PHICH Transmit Diversity for UE category 0
8.9.2.2.1.1 Test purpose

To verify the demodulation performance of PHICH for transmit diversity 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.

8.9.2.2.1.2 Test applicability

This test applies to all type of E-UTRA FDD UE release 12 and forward of UE category 0.

8.9.2.2.1.3 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).
