Note 4: The bit field for precoding information in DCI format 2 shall be mapped as:

– For reported RI = 2 and PMI = 0 >> precoding information bit field index = 0

Note 5: To avoid the ambiguity of SS behaviour when applying CQI and PMI during rank switching, RI reports are to be applied at the SS with one subframe delay in addition to Note 1 to align with CQI and PMI reports.

2. The SS shall send PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to the UE reported CQI (wideband CQI), PMI and fixed RI as defined in Table 9.5.1.2.3-1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. The SS schedules the UL transmission 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 theaccording to annex G.5.3

3. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.1.

4. The SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0 with CQI request bit to 0 to schedule UL RMC in subframe#2 and #7 (Table A.4.1-2).

5. The SS shall transmit an RRC Connection Reconfiguration message to set codebookSubsetRestriction as for UE reported RI according to Table 9.5.1.2.3-1.

6. The UE shall transmit RRC Connection Reconfiguration Complete message.

7. Propagation conditions are set according to Table 9.5.1.2.3-1.

8. The SS shall send PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 2 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to the UE reported CQI (wideband CQI), PMI and RI. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. The SS schedules the UL transmission 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 according to Annex G.5.3
If the ratio ( / ) satisfies the requirement in Table 9.5.1.2.5-1, then pass the UE for this test and go to step 9. Otherwise, fail the UE.

9. If all tests have not been done, then repeat the same procedure (steps 1 to 8) with test conditions according to the Table 9.5.1.2.3-2 for the other Tests as appropriate. Otherwise pass the UE.
