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

2. The SS shall configure SCCs as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents for RadioResourceConfigDedicatedSCell-r10-DEFAULT are defined Table 9.6.1.2_A.6.4.3-4, PhysicalConfigDedicatedSCell-r10-DEFAULT is defined in Table 9.6.1.2_A.6.4.3-5, CQI- ReportConfigSCellr10-DEFAULT is defined in Table 9.6.1.2_A.6.4.3-6, CQI-ReportPeriodic-r10-DEFAULT is defined in Table 9.6.1.2_A.6.4.3-7.

3. SS activates SCCs 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, propagation condition, antenna configuration and the SNR according to Table 9.6.1.2_A.6.5-1 as appropriate.

5. For a UE with 4Rx antenna capability, SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC on both PCC and SCCs, according to Table 9.6.1.2_A.6.5-1. 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 when receiving CQI report. The UE will send ACK/NACK and periodic CQI report using PUSCH.

6. The SS shall start gathering CQI reports, and will continue gathering CQI reports until 2000 wideband CQI reports have been gathered for each P-Cell and S-Cells. For each CSI report calculate the respective difference CQIP-S1 = wideband CQIPcell – wideband CQIScell1, the respective difference CQIS1-S2 = wideband CQIScell1 – wideband CQIScell2, the respective difference CQIS1-S3 = wideband CQIScell1 – wideband CQIScell3 and the respective difference CQIS1-S4 = wideband CQIScell1 – wideband CQIScell4. the respective difference CQIS1-S5 = wideband CQIScell1 – wideband CQIScell5 and the respective difference CQIS1-S6 = wideband CQIScell1 – wideband CQIScell6

9.6.1.4.4.4 Test description

9.6.1.4.4.4.1 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: Maximum Wgap for Intra-band non-contiguous CA, otherwise Mid Range, as defined in TS 36.508 [7] clause 4.3.1.

Channel Bandwidths to be tested: Select one according to Table 9.6.1.4.4.4.1-1.

CA Capability to be tested: Select one according to Table 9.6.1.4.4.4.1-1.

Table 9.6.1.4.4.4.1-1: Test point selection for CQI Reporting under AWGN conditions – PUCCH 1-0 for TDD PCell (5DL CA)

CA Applicability		Bandwidth combination
	FDD cell	2×20+15	2×15+20
	TDD cell	2×20	2×20
Inter-band CA (two bands) (CA5_A2)		Test 1	Test 2
Inter-band CA (three bands) (CA5_A3)		Test 1	Test 2
Inter-band CA (four bands) (CA5_A4)		Test 1	Test 2
Inter-band CA (five bands) (CA5_A5)		Test 1	Test 2
Note 1: Only one test point is tested. Select the largest aggregated CA bandwidth combination supported by the UE among the UE supported CA capabilities.

1. Connect the SS and AWGN noise source to the UE antenna connector (s) as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A, Figure A.59 without faders.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 9.6.1.4.4.3-1.

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 9.6.1.4.4.4.3.

9.6.1.4.4.4.2 Test procedure

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

2. The SS shall configure SCCs as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents for RadioResourceConfigDedicatedSCell-r10-DEFAULT are defined in Table 9.6.1.4.4.4.3-4, PhysicalConfigDedicatedSCell-r10-DEFAULT is defined in Table 9.6.1.4.2.4.3-5, CQI-ReportConfigSCell-r10-DEFAULT is defined in Table 9.6.1.4.4.4.3-6, CQI-ReportPeriodic-r10-DEFAULT is defined in Table 9.6.1.4.4.4.3-7.

3. SS activates SCCs 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, propagation condition, antenna configuration and the SNR according to Table 9.6.1.4.4.3-1 as appropriate.

5. For a UE with 4Rx antenna capability, SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC on both PCC and SCCs, according to Table 9.6.1.4.4.3-1. 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 when receiving CQI report. The UE will send ACK/NACK and periodic CQI report using PUSCH.

6. The SS shall start gathering CQI reports, and will continue gathering CQI reports until 2000 wideband CQI reports have been gathered for each P-Cell and S-Cells. For each CSI report calculate the respective difference CQI_P-S1 = wideband CQI_Pcell – wideband CQI_Scell1, the respective difference CQI_S1-S2 = wideband CQI_Scell1 – wideband CQI_Scell2and the respective difference CQI_S1-S3 = wideband CQI_Scell1 – wideband CQI_Scell3 and the respective difference CQI_S1-S4 = wideband CQI_Scell1 – wideband CQI_Scell4.
