9.2.7.1.4 Test description

9.2.7.1.4.1 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.

Channel Bandwidths to be tested: 20MHz + 20MHz, as defined in TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.3.1

1. Connect the SS, AWGN noise source to the UE antenna connector(s) as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure group A.36 (without faders) as appropriate.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 9.2.7.1.3-1.

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.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 9.2.7.1.4.3.

9.2.7.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.2 for all downlink physical channels.

2. Configure SCC as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 9.2.7.1.4.3.

3. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC-CE (Refer TS 36.321 [13], clauses 5.13, 6.1.3.8). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 36.133, clauses 8.3.3.2).

4. Set the parameters of bandwidth, reference Channel, the propagation condition, antenna configuration, SNR and the power configuration of each burst for LAA SCell according to Table 9.2.7.1.3-2.

5. The SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to CQI value 8 and keep it regardless of the wideband CQI value sent by the UE. Continue transmission of the PDSCH until at least 2000 wideband CQI reports have been gathered for each, low power subframes and high power subframes. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. SS schedules the UL transmission in subframe #0 and subframe #5 to carry the PUSCH CQI feedback via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CQI request field set to 10 and I_MCS=29 and N_PRB allocated to be less or equal to 4.In this process the SS collects wideband CQI reports every 5 ms and also cases where UE transmits nothing in its CQI timing are counted as wideband CQI.

6. Set up a relative frequency distribution for the first 2000 reported wideband CQI-values whose reference resource is in the downlink subframe with 6 dB transmission power boost, i.e., high power subframe. Calculate the median value (wideband Median CQI is the wideband CQI that is at or crosses 50% distribution from the lower wideband CQI side). This CQI-value is declared as Median CQIhigh value.

7. If Median CQIhigh is equal to 1 or 15, or 1800 or less of the wideband CQI values for high power subframes are in the range (Median CQIhigh – 1) ≤ Median CQIhigh ≤ (Median CQIhigh + 1), then fail the UE.

8. Set up a relative frequency distribution for the first 2000 reported wideband CQI-values whose reference resource is in the downlink subframe with 0 dB transmission power boost, i.e., low power subframe. Calculate the median value (wideband Median CQI is the wideband CQI that is at or crosses 50% distribution from the lower wideband CQI side). This CQI-value is declared as Median CQIlow value.

9. If Median CQIlow is equal to 1 or 15, or 1800 or less of the wideband CQI values for low power subframes are in the range (Median CQIlow – 1) ≤ Median CQIlow ≤ (Median CQIlow + 1), then fail the UE.

10. If Median CQIhigh – Median CQIlow < 2 then fail the UE.

11. The SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to the wideband median-CQI value Median CQIhigh for high power subframes and according to the wideband median-CQI value Median CQIlow for low power subframes. The SS does not react to the UE’s wideband CQI reports. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. For any PDSCH transmitted by the SS, record the associated ACK and NACK/DTX responses. The responses are then recorded in two sets. The first set is obtained by responses for high power subframes. The second set is obtained by responses for low power subframes. Continue to gather data until the number of filtered ACK+NACK/DTX responses reaches at least 1000 for each set.

For the filtered ACK and NACK/DTX responses:

If the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) ≤ 0.1 for high power subframes AND the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) ≤ 0.1 for low power subframes then go to step 12.

If the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) ≤ 0.1 for high power subframes AND the ratio ((NACK/DTX) /(ACK + (NACK/DTX))) > 0.1 for low power subframes then go to step 13.

If the ratio ((NACK/DTX) /(ACK + (NACK/DTX))) > 0.1 for high power subframes AND the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) ≤ 0.1 for low power subframes then go to step 14.

If the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) > 0.1 for high power subframes AND the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) > 0.1 for low power subframes then go to step 15.

12. The SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to wideband CQI value (Median CQIhigh + 1) for high power subframes and according to wideband CQI value (Median CQIlow + 1) for low power subframes. The SS does not react to the UE’s wideband CQI reports. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. For any PDSCH, transmitted by the SS, record and filter the ACK and NACK/DTX responses as in step 11 until 1000 filtered ACK+NACK/DTX responses are gathered in each set.

If the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) > 0.1 for high power subframes AND the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) > 0.1 for low power subframes then pass the UE for this test and go to step 16, otherwise fail the UE.

13. The SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to wideband CQI value (Median CQIhigh + 1) for high power subframes and according to wideband CQI value (Median CQIlow – 1) for low power subframes. The SS does not react to the UE’s wideband CQI reports. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. For any PDSCH, transmitted by the SS, record and filter the ACK and NACK/DTX responses as in step 11 until 1000 filtered ACK+NACK/DTX responses are gathered in each set.

If the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) > 0.1 for high power subframes AND the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) ≤ 0.1 for low power subframes then pass the UE for this test and go to step 16, otherwise fail the UE.

14. The SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to wideband CQI value (Median CQIhigh – 1) for high power subframes and according to wideband CQI value (Median CQIlow + 1) for low power subframes. The SS does not react to the UE’s wideband CQI reports. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. For any PDSCH, transmitted by the SS, record and filter the ACK and NACK/DTX responses as in step 11 until 1000 filtered ACK+NACK/DTX responses are gathered in each set.

If the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) ≤ 0.1 for high power subframes AND the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) > 0.1 for low power subframes then pass the UE for this test and go to step 16, otherwise fail the UE.

15. The SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to wideband CQI value (Median CQIhigh – 1) for high power subframes and according to wideband CQI value (Median CQIlow – 1) for low power subframes. The SS does not react to the UE’s wideband CQI reports. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. For any PDSCH, transmitted by the SS, record and filter the ACK and NACK/DTX responses as in step 11 until 1000 filtered ACK+NACK/DTX responses are gathered in each set.

If the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) ≤ 0.1 for high power subframes AND the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) ≤ 0.1 for low power subframes then pass the UE for this test and go to step 16, otherwise fail the UE.

16. If both Tests have not been done, then repeat the same procedure (steps 1 to 15) with test conditions according to Table 9.2.7.1.3-1 and Table 9.2.7.1.3-2 for the other Test as appropriate. Otherwise pass the UE.

Note 1: If the UE reports in an available uplink reporting instance at subframe SF#n based on CQI estimation at a downlink subframe not later than SF#(n-4), this reported subband or wideband CQI cannot be applied at the eNB downlink before SF#(n+4)

Note 2: Reference measurement channel RC.9A FDD according to Table A.4-1 with one/two sided dynamic OCNG Pattern OP.1/2 FS3 as described in Annex A.5.4.1/2.

Note 3: For each test, the minimum requirements shall be fulfilled for at least one of the two SNR(s) and the respective wanted signal input level.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 36.101 [2] clause 9.2.7.2.

9.2.7.2.4 Test description

9.2.7.2.4.1 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.

Channel Bandwidths to be tested: 20MHz + 20MHz, as defined in TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.3.1

1. Connect the SS, AWGN noise source to the UE antenna connector(s) as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure group A.36 (without faders) as appropriate.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 9.2.7.2.3-1.

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.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 9.2.7.2.4.3.

9.2.7.2.4.2 Test procedure

1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.2 for all downlink physical channels.

2. Configure SCC as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause 9.2.7.2.4.3.

3. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC-CE (Refer TS 36.321 [13], clauses 5.13, 6.1.3.8). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 36.133, clauses 8.3.3.2).

4. Set the parameters of bandwidth, reference Channel, the propagation condition, antenna configuration, SNR and the power configuration of each burst for LAA SCell according to Table 9.2.7.2.3-2.

5. The SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to CQI value 8 and keep it regardless of the wideband CQI value sent by the UE. Continue transmission of the PDSCH until at least 2000 wideband CQI reports have been gathered for each, low power subframes and high power subframes. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. SS schedules the UL transmission in subframe #2 and subframe #7 to carry the PUSCH CQI feedback via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CQI request field set to 10 and I_MCS=29 and N_PRB allocated to be less or equal to 4.In this process the SS collects wideband CQI reports every 5 ms and also cases where UE transmits nothing in its CQI timing are counted as wideband CQI.

6. Set up a relative frequency distribution for the first 2000 reported wideband CQI-values whose reference resource is in the downlink subframe with 6 dB transmission power boost, i.e., high power subframe. Calculate the median value (wideband Median CQI is the wideband CQI that is at or crosses 50% distribution from the lower wideband CQI side). This CQI-value is declared as Median CQIhigh value.

7. If Median CQIhigh is equal to 1 or 15, or 1800 or less of the wideband CQI values for high power subframes are in the range (Median CQIhigh – 1) ≤ Median CQIhigh ≤ (Median CQIhigh + 1), then fail the UE.

8. Set up a relative frequency distribution for the first 2000 reported wideband CQI-values whose reference resource is in the downlink subframe with 0 dB transmission power boost, i.e., low power subframe. Calculate the median value (wideband Median CQI is the wideband CQI that is at or crosses 50% distribution from the lower wideband CQI side). This CQI-value is declared as Median CQIlow value.

9. If Median CQIlow is equal to 1 or 15, or 1800 or less of the wideband CQI values for low power subframes are in the range (Median CQIlow – 1) ≤ Median CQIlow ≤ (Median CQIlow + 1), then fail the UE.

10. If Median CQIhigh – Median CQIlow < 2 then fail the UE.

11. The SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to the wideband median-CQI value Median CQIhigh for high power subframes and according to the wideband median-CQI value Median CQIlow for low power subframes. The SS does not react to the UE’s wideband CQI reports. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. For any PDSCH transmitted by the SS, record the associated ACK and NACK/DTX responses. The responses are then recorded in two sets. The first set is obtained by responses for high power subframes. The second set is obtained by responses for low power subframes. Continue to gather data until the number of filtered ACK+NACK/DTX responses reaches at least 1000 for each set.

For the filtered ACK and NACK/DTX responses:

If the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) ≤ 0.1 for high power subframes AND the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) ≤ 0.1 for low power subframes then go to step 12.

If the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) ≤ 0.1 for high power subframes AND the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) > 0.1 for low power subframes then go to step 13.

If the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) > 0.1 for high power subframes AND the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) ≤ 0.1 for low power subframes then go to step 14.

If the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) > 0.1 for high power subframes AND the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) > 0.1 for low power subframes then go to step 15.

12. The SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to wideband CQI value (Median CQIhigh + 1) for high power subframes and according to wideband CQI value (Median CQIlow + 1) for low power subframes. The SS does not react to the UE’s wideband CQI reports. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. For any PDSCH, transmitted by the SS, record and filter the ACK and NACK/DTX responses as in step 11 until 1000 filtered ACK+NACK/DTX responses are gathered in each set.

If the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) > 0.1 for high power subframes AND the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) > 0.1 for low power subframes then pass the UE for this test and go to step 16, otherwise fail the UE.

13. The SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to wideband CQI value (Median CQIhigh + 1) for high power subframes and according to wideband CQI value (Median CQIlow – 1) for low power subframes. The SS does not react to the UE’s wideband CQI reports. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. For any PDSCH, transmitted by the SS, record and filter the ACK and NACK/DTX responses as in step 11 until 1000 filtered ACK+NACK/DTX responses are gathered in each set.

If the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) > 0.1 for high power subframes AND the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) ≤ 0.1 for low power subframes then pass the UE for this test and go to step 16, otherwise fail the UE.

14. The SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to wideband CQI value (Median CQIhigh – 1) for high power subframes and according to wideband CQI value (Median CQIlow + 1) for low power subframes. The SS does not react to the UE’s wideband CQI reports. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. For any PDSCH, transmitted by the SS, record and filter the ACK and NACK/DTX responses as in step 11 until 1000 filtered ACK+NACK/DTX responses are gathered in each set.

If the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) ≤ 0.1 for high power subframes AND the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) > 0.1 for low power subframes then pass the UE for this test and go to step 16, otherwise fail the UE.

15. The SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to wideband CQI value (Median CQIhigh – 1) for high power subframes and according to wideband CQI value (Median CQIlow – 1) for low power subframes. The SS does not react to the UE’s wideband CQI reports. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. For any PDSCH, transmitted by the SS, record and filter the ACK and NACK/DTX responses as in step 11 until 1000 filtered ACK+NACK/DTX responses are gathered in each set.

If the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) ≤ 0.1 for high power subframes AND the ratio ((NACK/DTX) / (ACK + (NACK/DTX))) ≤ 0.1 for low power subframes then pass the UE for this test and go to step 16, otherwise fail the UE.

16. If both Tests have not been done, then repeat the same procedure (steps 1 to 15) with test conditions according to Table 9.2.7.2.3-1 and Table 9.2.7.2.3-2 for the other Test as appropriate. Otherwise pass the UE.
