This test applies to all types of E-UTRA FDD UE release 11 and forward that support enhanced receiver Type A and 4Rx antenna ports in any FDD RF band.

9.9.2.1.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements

For the parameters specified in Table 9.9.2.1.1.3-1, and using the downlink physical channels specified in Annex C, the minimum requirements are specified in Table 9.9.2.1.1.3-2 and by the following

a) the ratio of the throughput obtained when transmitting the transport format indicated by each reported wideband CQI index subject to an interference source with specified DIP and that obtained when transmitting the transport format indicated by each reported wideband CQI index subject to a white Gaussian noise source shall be ≥ ;

b) when transmitting the transport format indicated by each reported wideband CQI index subject to an interference source with specified DIP, the average BLER for the indicated transport formats shall be greater than or equal to 2%.
