36.521-13GPPEvolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA)Part 1: Conformance testingRadio transmission and receptionRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) conformance specification

Tools: ARFCN - Frequency Conversion for 5G NR/LTE/UMTS/GSM

The reporting accuracy of the channel quality indicator (CQI) under frequency non-selective fading conditions is determined by the reporting variance, and the relative increase of the throughput obtained when the transport format transmitted is that indicated by the reported CQI compared to the case for which a fixed transport format configured according to the reported median CQI is transmitted. In addition, the reporting accuracy is determined by a minimum BLER using the transport formats indicated by the reported CQI. To account for sensitivity of the input SNR the CQI reporting under frequency non-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.

9.3.2.1.1.4 Test description

9.3.2.1.1.4.1 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 for tests defined in 9.3.2.1.1.3-1 and 5MHz for tests defined in Table 9.3.2.1.1.3-3, 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 9.3.2.1.1.3-1.

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.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 9.3.2.1.1.4.3.

9.3.2.1.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. Set the parameters of bandwidth, the propagation condition, antenna configuration and measurement channel according to Table 9.3.2.1.1.5-3 for 10MHz tests or Table 9.3.2.1.1.3-3 for 5MHz tests 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 CQI value sent by the UE. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. The SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CQI request bit set to 0 to schedule UL RMC in subframe #1,#3,#5 and subframe #7 (Table A.4.1-1). The UE will send ACK/NACK and periodic CQI report using PUSCH Continue transmission of the PDSCH until 100000 wideband CQI reports have been gathered. In this process the SS collects wideband CQI reports every 2 ms and also cases where UE transmits nothing in its CQI timing are counted as wideband CQI reports.

3. Set up a relative frequency distribution for the reported wideband CQI-values, reported. 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 wideband Median CQI value.

4. If less than (100-)/100*100000 of the wideband CQI values are in the range (Median CQI – 1) ≤ Median CQI ≤ ( Median CQI + 1) then continue with 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 wideband median-CQI value regardless of UE wideband CQI report. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. The SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CQI request bit set to 0 to schedule UL RMC in subframe #1,#3,#5 and subframe #7 (Table A.4.1-1). The UE will send ACK/NACK and periodic CQI report using PUSCH. 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 wideband CQI value reported from UE. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. The SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CQI request bit set to 0 to schedule UL RMC in subframe #1,#3,#5 and subframe #7 (Table A.4.1-1). The UE will send ACK/NACK and periodic CQI report using PUSCH. Measure the average throughput according to Annex G.5.3. Declare the throughput as . For any PDSCH transmitted by the SS, record the associated ACK, NACK and statDTX responses. The responses are then filtered as follows: for the sequence of responses for each HARQ process, discard all the statDTX responses.
If the ratio ( / ) ≥  and ratio (NACK /(ACK + NACK)) is greater or equal to 0.02, then 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 9.3.2.1.1.3-1 for 10MHz or table 9.3.2.1.1.3-3 for 5MHz for the other Test as appropriate. Otherwise pass the UE.

9.3.2.2.1_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.11 for UE with 2Rx RF band and Annex A, Figure A.11a for 4Rx capable UE without any 2Rx RF bands.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 9.3.2.2.1_D.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.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 9.3.2.2.1_D.4.3.

9.3.2.2.1_D.4.2 Test procedure

1. Set the parameters of bandwidth, the propagation condition, antenna configuration and measurement channel according to Table 9.3.2.2.1_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 CQI value sent by the UE. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. The SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CQI request bit set to 0 to schedule UL RMC in subframe #0 and subframe #5 (Table A.4.1-1). The UE will send ACK/NACK and periodic CQI report using PUSCH. Continue transmission of the PDSCH until 2000 wideband CQI reports have been gathered. 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 reports.

4. If less than (100-)/100*2000 of the wideband CQI values are in the range (Median CQI – 1) ≤ Median CQI ≤ ( Median CQI + 1) then continue with 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 wideband median-CQI value regardless of UE wideband CQI report. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. The SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CQI request bit set to 0 to schedule UL RMC in subframe #0 and subframe #5 (Table A.4.1-1). The UE will send ACK/NACK and periodic CQI report using PUSCH. 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 wideband CQI value reported from UE. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. The SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CQI request bit set to 0 to schedule UL RMC in subframe #0 and subframe #5 (Table A.4.1-1). The UE will send ACK/NACK and periodic CQI report using PUSCH. Measure the average throughput according to Annex G.5.3. Declare the throughput as . For any PDSCH transmitted by the SS, record the associated ACK, NACK and statDTX responses. The responses are then filtered as follows: for the sequence of responses for each HARQ process, discard all the statDTX responses.
If the ratio ( / ) ≥  and ratio (NACK /(ACK + NACK)) is greater or equal to 0.02, then 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, repeat the same procedure (steps 1 to 7) with test conditions according to the table 9.3.2.2.1_D.3-1 for the other test as appropriate.

9.2.3.1A.4 Test description

9.2.3.1A.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

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 9.2.3.1A.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 9.2.3.1A.4.3.

9.2.3.1A.4.2 Test procedure

1. Set the parameters of bandwidth, reference channel, the propagation condition, antenna configuration, beamforming model and the SNR according to Table 9.2.3.1A.3-1 as appropriate.

2. The SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC on subframes 1,2,3,4,7,8,9 including two codewords with spatial multiplexing both according to CQI value 8 and keep them regardless of the wideband CQI value sent by the UE. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. The SS shall use a fixed precoding matrix specified by the bitmap parameter codebookSubsetRestriction. The SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CQI request bit set to 0 to schedule UL RMC in subframe #5 (Table A.4.1-1). The UE will send ACK/NACK and periodic CQI report using PUSCH. Continue transmission of the PDSCH until 2000 wideband and wideband spatial differential CQI reports have been gathered. In this process the SS collects wideband and wideband spatial differential CQI reports every 10 ms and also cases where UE transmits nothing in its CQI timing are also counted as wideband and wideband spatial differential CQI reports respectively.

3. From each wideband CQI report, wideband CQI₀ is defined as Wideband CQI of codeword #0 and wideband CQI₁is calculated according to clause 9.2.3.1A.3. Codeword 1 offset level is selected from {0,1,2,3,-4,-3,-2,-1}. Set up a relative frequency distribution for the wideband CQI-values, reported. Calculate the median value (wideband Median CQI is the CQI that is at or crosses 50% distribution from the lower wideband CQI side) for each codewords. Wideband Median CQI₀is based on the wideband CQI₀ and wideband median CQI₁ is based on the wideband CQI₁.

4. If Median CQI is not equal to 1 or 15 and 1800 or more of the wideband CQI₁ values are in the range (Median CQI₁ – 1) ≤ Median CQI ≤ ( Median CQI₁ + 1) then continue with 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 on subframes 1,2,3,4,7,8,9 including two codewords with spatial multiplexing where the transport format of codeword #0 is according to the wideband median- CQI₀– 1 and the transport format of codeword #1 is according to the wideband median CQI₁– 1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. The SS shall not react to the any wideband CQI reports from UE and shall use a fixed precoding matrix specified by the bitmap parameter codebookSubsetRestriction3. The SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CQI request bit set to 0 to schedule UL RMC in subframe #5 (Table A.4.1-1). The UE will send ACK/NACK and periodic CQI report using PUSCH. For any PDSCH transmitted by the SS, record the associated ACK, NACK and statDTX responses for each codewords respectively. The responses are then filtered as follows: for the sequence of responses for each HARQ process, discard all the statDTX responses. Continue to gather data until the number of filtered ACK+NACK responses for each codewords reaches 1000.

If the ratio (NACK /ACK + NACK) ≤ 0.1 for both codeword #0 and codeword #1

then and go to step 6, otherwise go to step 7.

6. The SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC on subframes 1,2,3,4,7,8,9 including two codewords with spatial multiplexing where the transport format of codeword #0 is according to the wideband median-CQI₀ + 1 and the transport format of codeword #1 is according to the wideband median-CQI₁ + 1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. The SS shall not react to the any wideband CQI reports from UE and shall use a fixed precoding matrix specified by the bitmap parameter codebookSubsetRestriction3. The SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CQI request bit set to 0 to schedule UL RMC in subframe #5 (Table A.4.1-1). The UE will send ACK/NACK and periodic CQI report using PUSCH. For any PDSCH transmitted by the SS, record the associated ACK, NACK and statDTX responses for each codewords respectively. The responses are then filtered as follows: for the sequence of responses for each HARQ process, discard all the statDTX responses. Continue to gather data until the number of filtered ACK+NACK responses for each codewords reaches 1000.

If the ratio (NACK /ACK + NACK) ≥ 0.1 for both codeword #0 and codeword #1

then 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 9.2.3.1A.3-1 for the other Test as appropriate. Otherwise pass the UE.

9.2.3.2A.4 Test description

9.2.3.2A.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.47 for UE with 2Rx RF band and Annex A, Figure A.47a for 4Rx capable UE without any 2Rx RF bands.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 9.2.3.2A.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 9.2.3.2A.4.3.

9.2.3.2A.4.2 Test procedure

1. Set the parameters of bandwidth, reference channel, the propagation condition, beamforming model, antenna configuration and the SNR according to Table 9.2.3.2A.3-1 as appropriate.

2. The SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC on subframes 3,4,9 including two codewords with spatial multiplexing both according to CQI value 8 and keep them regardless of the wideband CQI value sent by the UE. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. The SS shall use a fixed precoding matrix specified by the bitmap parameter codebookSubsetRestriction3. The SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CQI request bit set to 0 to schedule UL RMC in subframe #7 (Table A.4.1-2). The UE will send ACK/NACK and periodic CQI report using PUSCH. Continue transmission of the PDSCH until 2000 wideband and wideband spatial differential CQI reports have been gathered. In this process the SS collects wideband and wideband spatial differential CQI reports every 10 ms and also in cases where UE transmits nothing in its CQI timing are counted as wideband and wideband spatial differential CQI reports respectively.

3. From each wideband CQI report, wideband CQI₀ is defined as Wideband CQI of codeword #0 and wideband CQI₁is calculated according to clause 9.2.3.2A.3. Codeword 1 offset level is selected from {0,1,2,3,-4,-3,-2,-1}. Set up a relative frequency distribution for the wideband CQI-values, reported. Calculate the median value (wideband Median CQI is the CQI that is at or crosses 50% distribution from the lower wideband CQI side) for each codewords. Wideband Median CQI₀is based on the wideband CQI₀ and wideband median CQI₁ is based on the wideband CQI₁.

5. The SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC on subframes 3,4,9 including two codewords with spatial multiplexing where the transport format of codeword #0 is according to the wideband median- CQI₀– 1 and the transport format of codeword #1 is according to the wideband median CQI₁– 1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. The SS shall not react to the any wideband CQI reports from UE and shall use a fixed precoding matrix specified by the bitmap parameter codebookSubsetRestriction3. The SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CQI request bit set to 0 to schedule UL RMC in subframe #7 (Table A.4.1-2). The UE will send ACK/NACK and periodic CQI report using PUSCH. For any PDSCH transmitted by the SS, record the associated ACK, NACK and statDTX responses for each codewords respectively. In case statDTX can not be differentiated from NACK due to multiplexing effect, evaluate the feedback as a NACK The responses are then filtered as follows: for the sequence of responses for each HARQ process, discard all the statDTX responses. Continue to gather data until the number of filtered ACK+NACK responses for each codewords reaches 1000.

If the ratio (NACK /ACK + NACK) ≤ 0.1

then, and go to step 6, otherwise go to step 7.

6. The SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC on subframes 3,4,9 including two codewords with spatial multiplexing where the transport format of codeword #0 is according to the wideband median-CQI₀ + 1 and the transport format of codeword #1 is according to the wideband median-CQI₁ + 1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. The SS shall not react to the any wideband CQI reports from UE and shall use a fixed precoding matrix specified by the bitmap parameter codebookSubsetRestriction3. The SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CQI request bit set to 0 to schedule UL RMC in subframe #7 (Table A.4.1-2). The UE will send ACK/NACK and periodic CQI report using PUSCH. For any PDSCH transmitted by the SS, record the associated ACK, NACK and statDTX responses for each codewords respectively. In case statDTX cannot be differentiated from NACK due to multiplexing effect, evaluate the feedback as a NACK. The responses are then filtered as follows: for the sequence of responses for each HARQ process, discard all the statDTX responses. Continue to gather data until the number of filtered ACK+NACK responses for each codewords reaches 1000.

If the ratio (NACK /ACK + NACK) ≥ 0.1

then 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 9.2.3.2A.3-1 for the other Test as appropriate. Otherwise pass the UE.

1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connector (s) as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure 47 for UE with 2Rx RF band and Annex A, Figure A.47a for 4Rx capable UE without any 2Rx RF bands.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 9.3.2.2.2_D.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.3.2.

4. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0.

9.3.2.2.2_D.4.2 Test procedure

1. Set the parameters of bandwidth, the propagation condition, antenna configuration and measurement channel according to Table 9.3.2.2.2_D.5-2 as appropriate.

2. The SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMCaccording to CQI value 8 and keep it regardless of the wideband CQI value sent by the UE. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. The SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CQI request bit set to 0 to schedule UL RMC in subframe #2 and subframe #7 (Table A.4.1-2). The UE will send ACK/NACK and periodic CQI report using PUSCH Continue transmission of the PDSCH until 2000 wideband CQI reports have been gathered. 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 reports.

4. If less than (100-)/100*2000 of the wideband CQI values are in the range (Median CQI – 1) ≤ Median CQI ≤ ( Median CQI + 1) then continue with 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 RMCaccording to the wideband median-CQI value regardless of UE wideband CQI report. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. The SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CQI request bit set to 0 to schedule UL RMC in subframe #2 and subframe #7 (Table A.4.1-2). The UE will send ACK/NACK and periodic CQI report using PUSCH. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G clause G.3. Declare the throughput as .

6. The SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2C for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMCaccording to the wideband CQI value reported from UE. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. The SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CQI request bit set to 0 to schedule UL RMC in subframe #2 and subframe #7 (Table A.4.1-2). The UE will send ACK/NACK and periodic CQI report using PUSCH Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G clause G.3. Declare the throughput as . For any PDSCH transmitted by the SS, record the associated ACK, NACK and statDTX responses. The responses are then filtered as follows: for the sequence of responses for each HARQ process, discard all the statDTX responses.
If the ratio ( / ) ≥  and ratio (NACK /(ACK + NACK)) is greater or equal to 0.02, then pass 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, repeat the same procedure (steps 1 to 7) with test conditions according to the table 9.3.2.2.2_D.3-1 for the other test as appropriate.

Note 1: If the UE reports in an available uplink reporting instance at subframe SF#n based on CQI estimation at a downlink SF not later than SF#(n-4), this reported wideband CQI cannot be applied at the eNB downlink before SF#(n+4) Note 2: Reference measurement channel RC.7 TDD according to Table A.4-1 with one sided dynamic OCNG Pattern OP.1 TDD as described in Annex A.5.2.1. 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. Note 4: To avoid collisions between CQI/ PMI reports and HARQ-ACK it is necessary to report both on PUSCH instead of PUCCH. PDCCH DCI format 0 shall be transmitted in downlink SF#3 and #8 to allow periodic CQI/ PMI to multiplex with the HARQ-ACK on PUSCH in uplink subframe SF#2 and #7. Note 5: RI reporting interval is set to the maximum allowable length of 160ms to minimise collisions between RI, CQI/PMI and HARQ-ACK reports. In the case when all three reports collide, it is expected that CQI/PMI reports will be dropped, while RI and HARQ-ACK will be multiplexed. At eNB, CQI report collection shall be skipped every 160ms during performance verification and the reported CQI in subframe SF#7 of the previous frame is applied in downlink subframes until a new CQI (after CQI/PMI dropping) is available. Note 6: The SNR requirement for 4Rx capable UEs is as specified in 9.1.1.4.1. For 4Rx UE without 2Rx RF bands SNR requirement is reduced by [3] dB

To pass the test,  and  and BLER must be fulfilled.

To pass the test, Test 1 and Test 2 must be passed.

To pass the test, one or the other SNR point within one test must be fulfilled.
