A.3.2A Downlink Reference measurement channel for TX characteristics

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

Tables A.3.2A-1 and A.3.2A-2 describes the reference measurement channels to be used on the downlink during Transmitter Characteristics (clause 6) for FDD and TDD respectively. The number of allocated resource blocks have been defined (partial allocation) to allow the transmission of PBCH, PSS/SSS and system information mapped on PDSCH.

For TDD the measurement channel is based on DL/UL configuration ratio of 2DL:2UL or 1DL:4UL. 2DL:2UL is the default and used unless explicitly specified in test case.

Note 1: 2 symbols allocated to PDCCH for 20 MHz, 15 MHz and 10MHz channel BW. 3 symbols allocated to PDCCH for 5 MHz and 3 MHz. 4 symbols allocated to PDCCH for 1.4 MHz

Note 2: Reference signal, Synchronization signals and PBCH allocated as per TS 36.211 [8]

Note 3: The PDSCH shall be assigned to the UE under test with a set of allocated localized virtual resource blocks starting from one end of the channel.

Note 4: To ensure constant transport block size in 1.4MHz, the code rate for subframes varies approx. within {1/8-1/3}

Note 1: 2 symbols allocated to PDCCH for 20 MHz, 15 MHz and 10MHz channel BW. 3 symbols allocated to PDCCH for 5 MHz and 3 MHz. 4 symbols allocated to PDCCH for 1.4 MHz

Note 2: Reference signal, Synchronization signals and PBCH allocated as per TS 36.211 [8].

Note 3: The scheduled narrowband other than 1.4MHz and 3MHz channel BW avoids the centre of the channel where some REs of the same PRBs are occupied by PBCH and synchronization signals.

Note 4: For HD-FDD UE, PDSCH are scheduled at the [3rd] subframe every 1 radio frame for 1.4MHz and 3MHz channel BW. For other channel BW, PDSCH are scheduled at the 0th, 1st, and 2th subframes every 1 radio frame. Information bit payload is available if downlink subframe is scheduled. The corresponding M-PDCCH is scheduled 2 subframes before the corresponding PDSCH transmission.

Note 5: 2 resource blocks allocated to M-PDCCH
