9.7.1.2 TDD CQI reporting definition under AWGN conditions for UE category 0

9.7.1.2.1 Test purpose

9.7.1.2.2 Test applicability

This test applies to E-UTRA TDD UE release 12 and forward of UE category 0.

9.7.1.2.3 Minimum conformance requirements

The following requirements apply to DL UE Category 0. For the parameters specified in Table 9.7.1.2.3-1 and using the downlink physical channels specified in tables C.3.2-1 and C.3.2-2, the reported CQI value according to RC.16 TDD in Table A.4-1 shall be in the range of ±1 of the reported median more than 90% of the time. If the PDSCH BLER using the transport format indicated by median CQI is less than or equal to 0.1, the BLER using the transport format indicated by the (median CQI + 1) shall be greater than 0.1. If the PDSCH BLER using the transport format indicated by the median CQI is greater than 0.1, the BLER using transport format indicated by (median CQI – 1) shall be less than or equal to 0.1.

Note 3: To avoid collisions between CQI 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 to multiplex with the HARQ-ACK on PUSCH in uplink subframe SF#7 and #2.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 36.101 [2] clause 9.7.1.2.

9.7.1.2.4 Test description

9.7.1.2.4.1 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 4.3.1.2.

Channel Bandwidths to be tested: 10MHz for tests defined in 9.7.1.2.3-1 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.9 using only main UE Tx/Rx antenna.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 9.7.1.2.3-1.

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 9.7.1.2.4.3.

9.7.1.2.4.2 Test procedure

Same test procedure as in clause 9.2.1.2.4.2 with the following exceptions:

9.7.1.2.5 Test requirement

The pass fail decision is as specified in the test procedure in clause 9.7.1.2.4.2.

There are no parameters in the test setup or measurement process whose variation impacts the results so there are no applicable test tolerances for this test.
