9.3.1 Frequency-selective scheduling mode
36.521-13GPPEvolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA)Part 1: Conformance testingRadio transmission and receptionRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) conformance specification
The accuracy of sub-band channel quality indicator (CQI) reporting under frequency selective fading conditions is determined by a double-sided percentile of the reported differential CQI offset level 0 per sub-band, and the relative increase of the throughput obtained when transmitting on any one of the sub-bands with the highest reported differential CQI offset level the corresponding transport format compared to the case for which a fixed format is transmitted on any sub-band in set of TS 36.213 [10]. To account for sensitivity of the input SNR the sub-band CQI reporting under frequency selective fading conditions is considered to be verified if the reporting accuracy is met for at least one of two SNR levels separated by an offset of 1 dB.

9.3.1.1.1.4 Test description
9.3.1.1.1.4.1 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, faders and AWGN noise source to the UE antenna connector (s) as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure A.9 for UE with 2Rx RF band and Annex A, Figure A.9a for 4Rx capable UE without any 2Rx RF bands.
2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 9.3.1.1.1.3-1.
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 9.3.1.1.1.4.3.
9.3.1.1.1.4.2 Test procedure
1. Set the parameters of bandwidth, reference Channel, the propagation condition, antenna configuration and the SNR according to Table 9.3.1.1.1.5-2 as appropriate.
2. The SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to CQI value 8 and keep it regardless of the wideband and subband CQI value sent by the UE. Continue transmission of the PDSCH until 2000 wideband CQI reports and full-size subband CQI reports for each full-size subband have been gathered. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. SS schedules the UL transmission every 5 ms to carry the PUSCH CQI feedback via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CQI request bit set to 1 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 and full-size subband CQI reports.
3. Set up a relative frequency distribution for the reported wideband CQI-values, Calculate the median value (wideband Median CQI is the CQI that is at or crosses 50% distribution from the lower wideband CQI side). This CQI-value is declared as wideband Median CQI value.
4. Check if “2000* %/100 ≤ number of CQI reports with index 0 for each full-size subband ≤ 2000*%/100”.
(2000= No of full-size subband reports, 100 because of %) If yes, continue with step5, otherwise goto step 7.
5. The SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to the wideband median-CQI value in an each TTI randomly selected full-size subband regardless of UE wideband and full-size subband CQI report. Note that each full-size subband is selected in equal probability. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. SS schedules the UL transmission every 5 ms to carry the PUSCH CQI feedback via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CQI request bit set to 1 and I_MCS=29 and N_PRB allocated to be less or equal to 4. Measure the average throughput according to Annex G.5.3. Declare the throughput as .
6. The SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to the highest UE reported full-size subband CQI value in one full-size subband selected among the subbands in which UE reports the highest full-size subband CQI. Subband differential CQI offset level is selected from {0, 1, 2, -1}. Note that the SS shall send PDSCH in the same full-size subband until next UE report is available. In case when same full-size subbands are reported subsequently as subbands with highest full-size subband CQI, the SS shall select for transmission a different subband with respect to the last selection. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. SS schedules the UL transmission every 5 ms to carry the PUSCH CQI feedback via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CQI request bit set to 1 and I_MCS=29 and N_PRB allocated to be less or equal to 4. Measure the average throughput and (NACK /(ACK + NACK)) according to Annex G.5.3. Declare the throughput as . If the ratio (
/
) ≥ and (NACK /(ACK + NACK))≥ 0.05 pass the UE for this test and go to step 8. Otherwise, go to step 7.
7. If both SNR points of the test have not been tested, then repeat the same procedure (steps 1 to 6) for the other SNR point as appropriate. Otherwise fail the UE.
8. If both tests have not been done, then repeat the same procedure (steps 1 to 7) with test conditions according to the table 9.3.1.1.1.3-1 for the other Test as appropriate. Otherwise pass the UE.

9.3.1.1.5.4 Test description
9.3.1.1.5.4.1 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 4.3.1.2.
Channel Bandwidths to be tested: 10MHz, as defined in TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.3.1.2
1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connector (s) as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure A.9 for UE with 2Rx RF band.
2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 9.3.1.1.5.3-1.
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 9.3.1.1.5.4.3.
9.3.1.1.5.4.2 Test procedure
1. Set the parameters of bandwidth, reference Channel, the propagation condition, antenna configuration and the SNR according to Table 9.3.1.1.5.3-1 as appropriate.
2. The SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to CQI value 8 and keep it regardless of the wideband and full-size subband CQI value sent by the UE. Continue transmission of the PDSCH until 2000 wideband CQI reports and full-size subband CQI report, for each full-size subband and for each CSI subframe sets have been gathered. 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 bit set to 1 and I_MCS=29 and N_PRB allocated to be less or equal to 4. In this process the SS collects wideband CQI reports for CSI subframe set 0 at every SF#2 and wideband CQI reports for CSI subframe set 1 at every SF#7, and also cases where UE transmits nothing in its CQI timing are counted as wideband CQI and full-size subband CQI reports.
3. For each CSI subframe set, set up a relative frequency distribution for the reported wideband CQI-values. Calculate the median values (wideband Median CQI is the CQI that is at or crosses 50% distribution from the lower wideband CQI side). These CQI-values are declared as wideband Median CQI0 for CSI subframe set 0 and Median CQI1 for CSI subframe set 1.
4. If the difference between Median CQI0 and Median CQI1 is larger than or equal to 3, and for both CSI subframe sets and for each subband, if subband CQI of index 0 is reported, at least % but less than % of 2000 full-size subband CQI report, then continue to step 5, otherwise, go to step 7.
5. The SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to the Median CQI0 on CSI subframe set 0, and according to the Median CQI1 on CSI subframe set 1, in a randomly selected full-size subband regardless of UE wideband and subband CQI report. Note that each full-size subband is selected in equal probability. 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 bit set to 1 and I_MCS=29 and N_PRB allocated to be less or equal to 4. Measure the average throughput according to Annex G.5.3 Declare the throughput as .
6. For each CSI subframe set, the SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to the highest UE reported full-size subband CQI value in one full-size subband selected among the sub-bands in which UE report the highest full-size subband CQI. Subband differential CQI offset level is selected from {0, 1, 2, -1}. Note that the SS shall send PDSCH in the same full-size subband until next UE report is available. In case when same full-size subbands are reported subsequently as subbands with highest full-size subband CQI, the SS shall select for transmission a different subband with respect to the last selection. 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 bit set to 1 and I_MCS=29 and N_PRB allocated to be less or equal to 4. Measure the average throughput, and (NACK /(ACK + NACK)) for each CSI subframe set according to Annex G.5.3. Declare the throughput as . If the ratio (
/
) ≥ and for each CSI subframe set 0.05 ≤ (NACK /(ACK + NACK))<0.6pass the UE. Otherwise, go to step 7.
7. If both SNR points of the test have not been tested, then repeat the same procedure (steps 1 to 6) for the other SNR point as appropriate. Otherwise fail the UE.

9.3.1.2.1_D.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, faders and AWGN noise source to the UE antenna connector (s) as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure A.10 for UE with 2Rx RF band and Annex A, Figure A.10a for 4Rx capable UE without any 2Rx RF bands.
2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 9.3.1.2.1_D.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 9.3.1.2.1_D.4.3.
9.3.1.2.1_D.4.2 Test procedure
1. Set the parameters of bandwidth, reference Channel, the propagation condition, antenna configuration and the SNR according to Table 9.3.1.2.1_D.5-2 as appropriate.
2. The SS shall transmit 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 and subband CQI value sent by the UE. Continue transmission of the PDSCH until 2000 wideband CQI reports and full-size subband CQI reports for each full-size subband have been gathered. 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 bit set to 1 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 and full-size subband CQI reports.
3. Set up a relative frequency distribution for the reported wideband CQI-values, Calculate the median value (wideband Median CQI is the CQI that is at or crosses 50% distribution from the lower wideband CQI side). This CQI-value is declared as wideband Median CQI value.
4. Check if “2000* %/100 ≤ number of CQI reports with index 0 for each full-size subband ≤ 2000*%/100”.
(2000= No of full-size subband reports, 100 because of %) If yes, continue with step5, otherwise goto step 7.
5. The SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2Cfor C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to the wideband median-CQI value in an each TTI randomly selected full-size subband regardless of UE wideband and full-size subband CQI report. Note that each full-size subband is selected in equal probability. 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 bit set to 1 and I_MCS=29 and N_PRB allocated to be less or equal to 4.Measure the average throughput according to Annex G.5.3. Declare the throughput as .
6. The SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to the highest UE reported full-size subband CQI value in one full-size subband selected among the subbands in which UE reports the highest full-size subband CQI. Subband differential CQI offset level is selected from {0, 1, 2, -1}. Note that the SS shall send PDSCH in the same full-size subband until next UE report is available. In case when same full-size subbands are reported subsequently as subbands with highest full-size subband CQI, the SS shall select for transmission a different subband with respect to the last selection. 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 bit set to 1 and I_MCS=29 and N_PRB allocated to be less or equal to 4. Measure the average throughput and (NACK /(ACK + NACK)) according to Annex G.5.3. Declare the throughput as . If the ratio (
/
) ≥ and (NACK /(ACK + NACK))≥ 0.05 pass the UE for this test and go to step 8. Otherwise, go to step 7.
7. If both SNR points of the test have not been tested, then repeat the same procedure (steps 1 to 6) for the other SNR point as appropriate. Otherwise fail the UE.
8. If both tests have not been done, then repeat the same procedure (steps 1 to 7) with test conditions according to the table 9.3.1.2.1_D.3-1 for the other Test as appropriate. Otherwise pass the UE.

9.3.1.2.2_D.4 Test description
9.3.1.2.2_D.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 4.3.1.2.
Channel Bandwidths to be tested: 10MHz, as defined in TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.3.1.2
1. Connect the SS, faders and AWGN noise source to the UE antenna connector (s) as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure A.10 for UE with 2Rx RF band and Annex A, Figure A.10a for 4Rx capable UE without any 2Rx RF bands.
2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 9.3.1.2.2_D.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 9.3.1.2.2_D.4.3.
9.3.1.2.2_D.4.2 Test procedure
1. Set the parameters of bandwidth, reference Channel, the propagation condition, antenna configuration and the SNR according to Table 9.3.1.2.2_D.5-2 as appropriate.
2. The SS shall transmit 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 and full-size subband CQI value sent by the UE. Continue transmission of the PDSCH until 2000 wideband CQI reports and full-size subband CQI report for each full-size subband have been gathered. 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 bit set to 1 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 and full-size subband CQI reports.
3. Set up a relative frequency distribution for the reported wideband CQI-values, Calculate the median value (wideband Median CQI is the CQI that is at or crosses 50% distribution from the lower wideband CQI side). This CQI-value is declared as wideband Median CQI value.
4. For each subband, if subband CQI of index 0 is reported, at least % but less than % of 2000 full-size subband CQI report, then continue to step 5, otherwise, go to step 7.
5. The SS shall send PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to the wideband median-CQI value in an each available downlink transmission instance randomly selected full-size subband regardless of UE wideband and subband CQI report. Note that each full-size subband is selected in equal probability. 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 bit set to 1 and I_MCS=29 and N_PRB allocated to be less or equal to 4. Measure the average throughput according to Annex G.5.3 Declare the throughput as .
6. The SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to the highest UE reported full-size subband CQI value in one full-size subband selected among the sub-bands in which UE report the highest full-size subband CQI. Subband differential CQI offset level is selected from {0, 1, 2, -1}. Note that the SS shall send PDSCH in the same full-size subband until next UE report is available. In case when same full-size subbands are reported subsequently as subbands with highest full-size subband CQI, the SS shall select for transmission a different subband with respect to the last selection. 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 bit set to 1 and I_MCS=29 and N_PRB allocated to be less or equal to 4. Measure the average throughput and (NACK /(ACK + NACK)) according to Annex G.5.3. Declare the throughput as . If the ratio (
/
) ≥ and (NACK /(ACK + NACK))≥ 0.05pass the UE and go to step 8. Otherwise, go to step 7.
7. If both SNR points of the test have not been tested, then repeat the same procedure (steps 1 to 6) for the other SNR point as appropriate. Otherwise fail the UE.
8. If both tests have not been done, then repeat the same procedure (steps 1 to 7) with test conditions according to the table 9.3.1.2.2_D.3-1 for the other test as appropriate.

9.3.1.2.6.4 Test description
9.3.1.2.6.4.1 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 4.3.1.2.
Channel Bandwidths to be tested: 10MHz, as defined in TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.3.1.2
1. Connect the SS, faders and AWGN noise source to the UE antenna connector (s) as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure A.10 for UE with 2Rx RF band.
2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 9.3.1.2.6.3-1.
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 9.3.1.2.6.4.3.
9.3.1.2.6.4.2 Test procedure
1. Set the parameters of bandwidth, reference Channel, the propagation condition, antenna configuration and the SNR according to Table 9.3.1.2.6.3-1 as appropriate.
2. The SS shall transmit 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 and full-size subband CQI value sent by the UE. Continue transmission of the PDSCH until 2000 wideband CQI reports and full-size subband CQI report, for each full-size subband and for each CSI subframe sets have been gathered. 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 bit set to 1 and I_MCS=29 and N_PRB allocated to be less or equal to 4. In this process the SS collects wideband CQI reports for CSI subframe set 0 at every SF#2 and wideband CQI reports for CSI subframe set 1 at every SF#7, and also cases where UE transmits nothing in its CQI timing are counted as wideband CQI and full-size subband CQI reports.
3. For each CSI subframe set, set up a relative frequency distribution for the reported wideband CQI-values. Calculate the median values (wideband Median CQI is the CQI that is at or crosses 50% distribution from the lower wideband CQI side). These CQI-values are declared as wideband Median CQI0 for CSI subframe set 0 and Median CQI1 for CSI subframe set 1.
4. If the difference between Median CQI0 and Median CQI1 is larger than or equal to 3, and for both CSI subframe sets and for each subband, if subband CQI of index 0 is reported, at least % but less than % of 2000 full-size subband CQI report, then continue to step 5, otherwise, go to step 7.
5. The SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to the Median CQI0 on CSI subframe set 0, and according to the Median CQI1 on CSI subframe set 1, in a randomly selected full-size subband regardless of UE wideband and subband CQI report. Note that each full-size subband is selected in equal probability. 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 bit set to 1 and I_MCS=29 and N_PRB allocated to be less or equal to 4. Measure the average throughput according to Annex G.5.3 Declare the throughput as .
6. For each CSI subframe set, the SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to the highest UE reported full-size subband CQI value in one full-size subband selected among the sub-bands in which UE report the highest full-size subband CQI. Subband differential CQI offset level is selected from {0, 1, 2, -1}. Note that the SS shall send PDSCH in the same full-size subband until next UE report is available. In case when same full-size subbands are reported subsequently as subbands with highest full-size subband CQI, the SS shall select for transmission a different subband with respect to the last selection. 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 bit set to 1 and I_MCS=29 and N_PRB allocated to be less or equal to 4. Measure the average throughput, and (NACK /(ACK + NACK)) for each CSI subframe set according to Annex G.5.3. Declare the throughput as . If the ratio (
/
) ≥ and for each CSI subframe set (NACK /(ACK + NACK))≥0.01pass the UE. Otherwise, go to step 7.
7. If both SNR points of the test have not been tested, then repeat the same procedure (steps 1 to 6) for the other SNR point as appropriate. Otherwise fail the UE.

9.3.1.3.1_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, faders and AWGN noise source to the UE antenna connector (s) as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure A.54 for antenna configuration 1×2.
2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 9.3.1.3.1_E.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 with exceptions listed in 5.2A.5. Message contents are defined in clause 9.3.1.3.1_E.1.4.3.
9.3.1.3.1_E.1.4.2 Test procedure
1. Set the parameters of bandwidth, reference channel, the propagation condition, antenna configuration and the SNR according to Table 9.3.1.3.1_E.1.3-1 as appropriate.
2. The SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC in ABS protected subframes according to CQI value 8 and keep it regardless of the wideband and subband CQI value sent by the UE. Continue transmission of the PDSCH until 2000 wideband CQI reports and full-size subband CQI reports for each full-size subband for subframe set CCSI,0 have been gathered. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. SS schedules the UL transmission every 10 ms to carry the PUSCH CQI feedback via PDCCH DCI format 0 (transmitted in SF#3) with CQI request bit set to 1 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 10 ms and also cases where UE transmits nothing in its CQI timing are counted as wideband CQI and full-size subband CQI reports.
3. Set up a relative frequency distribution for the reported wideband CQI-values for subframe set CCSI,0. Calculate the median value (wideband Median CQI is the CQI that is at or crosses 50% distribution from the lower wideband CQI side). This CQI-value is declared as wideband Median CQI0.
4. Check if “2000* %/100 ≤ number of CQI reports with index 0 for each full-size subband ≤ 2000*%/100”.
(2000= No of full-size subband reports, 100 because of %) If yes, continue with step5, otherwise goto step 7.
5. The SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC in ABS protected subframes according to the wideband Median CQI0 in each downlink transmission instance randomly selected full-size subband regardless of UE wideband and full-size subband CQI report. Note that each full-size subband is selected in equal probability. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. SS schedules the UL transmission every 10 ms to carry the PUSCH CQI feedback via PDCCH DCI format 0 (transmitted in SF#3) with CQI request bit set to 1 and I_MCS=29 and N_PRB allocated to be less or equal to 4. Measure the average throughput during ABS according to Annex G.5.3. Declare the throughput as .
6. The SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC in ABS protected subframes according to the highest UE reported full-size subband CQI value in one full-size subband selected among the subbands in which UE reports the highest full-size subband CQI. Subband differential CQI offset level is selected from {0, 1, 2, -1}. Note that the SS shall send PDSCH in the same full-size subband until next UE report is available. In case when same full-size subbands are reported subsequently as subbands with highest full-size subband CQI, the SS shall select for transmission a different subband with respect to the last selection. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. SS schedules the UL transmission every 10 ms to carry the PUSCH CQI feedback via PDCCH DCI format 0 (transmitted in SF#3) with CQI request bit set to 1 and I_MCS=29 and N_PRB allocated to be less or equal to 4. Measure the average throughput during ABS and (NACK /(ACK + NACK)) according to Annex G.5.3. Declare the throughput as . If the ratio (
/
) ≥ and (NACK /(ACK + NACK)) ≥ ε pass the UE for this test and go to step 8. Otherwise, go to step 7.
7. If both SNR points of the test have not been tested, then repeat the same procedure (steps 1 to 6) for the other SNR point as appropriate. Otherwise fail the UE.
8. If both tests have not been done, then repeat the same procedure (steps 1 to 7) with test conditions according to the table 9.3.1.3.1_E.1.3-1 for the other Test as appropriate. Otherwise pass the UE.

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 with exceptions listed in 5.2A.5. Message contents are defined in clause 9.3.1.3.2_E.1.4.3.
9.3.1.3.2_E.1.4.2 Test procedure
1. Set the parameters of bandwidth, reference channel, the propagation condition, antenna configuration and the SNR according to Table 9.3.1.3.2_E.1.3-1 as appropriate.
2. The SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC in ABS protected subframes according to CQI value 8 and keep it regardless of the wideband and full-size subband CQI value sent by the UE. Continue transmission of the PDSCH until 2000 wideband CQI reports and full-size subband CQI report for each full-size subband for subframe set CCSI,0 have been gathered. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. SS schedules the UL transmission in subframe #7 to carry the PUSCH CQI feedback via PDCCH DCI format 0 (transmitted in DL SF#1) with CQI request bit set to 1 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 10 ms and also cases where UE transmits nothing in its CQI timing are counted as wideband CQI and full-size subband CQI reports.
3. Set up a relative frequency distribution for the reported wideband CQI-values for subframe set CCSI,0. Calculate the median value (wideband Median CQI is the CQI that is at or crosses 50% distribution from the lower wideband CQI side). This CQI-value is declared as wideband Median CQI0.
4. For each subband, if subband CQI of index 0 is reported, at least % but less than % of 2000 full-size subband CQI report, then continue to step 5, otherwise, go to step 7.
5. The SS shall send PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC in ABS protected subframes according to the wideband Median CQI0 in each downlink transmission instance randomly selected full-size subband regardless of UE wideband and subband CQI report. Note that each full-size subband is selected in equal probability. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. SS schedules the UL transmission in subframe #7 to carry the PUSCH CQI feedback via PDCCH DCI format 0 (transmitted in DL SF#1) with CQI request bit set to 1 and I_MCS=29 and N_PRB allocated to be less or equal to 4. Measure the average throughput during ABS according to Annex G.5.3 Declare the throughput as .
6. The SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC in ABS protected subframes according to the highest UE reported full-size subband CQI value in one full-size subband selected among the sub-bands in which UE report the highest full-size subband CQI. Subband differential CQI offset level is selected from {0, 1, 2, -1}. Note that the SS shall send PDSCH in the same full-size subband until next UE report is available. In case when same full-size subbands are reported subsequently as subbands with highest full-size subband CQI, the SS shall select for transmission a different subband with respect to the last selection. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. SS schedules the UL transmission in subframe #7 to carry the PUSCH CQI feedback via PDCCH DCI format 0 (transmitted in DL SF#1) with CQI request bit set to 1 and I_MCS=29 and N_PRB allocated to be less or equal to 4. Measure the average throughput during ABS and (NACK /(ACK + NACK)) according to Annex G.5.3. Declare the throughput as . If the ratio (
/
) ≥ and (NACK /(ACK + NACK))≥ εpass the UE and go to step 8. Otherwise, go to step 7.
