Tables A.3.2B-1 and A.3.2B-2 describes the reference measurement channels to be used on the downlink during ProSe testing 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.

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 1: For normal subframes (0,4,5,9), 2 symbols allocated to PDCCH for 20 MHz, 15 MHz and 10 MHz channel BW; 3 symbols allocated to PDCCH for 5 MHz For special subframe (1&6), only 2 OFDM symbols are allocated to PDCCH for all BWs. Note 2: For simplicity, no data shall be scheduled on special subframes (1&6). Note 3: Reference signal, Synchronization signals and PBCH allocated as per TS 36.211 [8]. Note 4: 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 5: As per Table 4.2-2 in TS 36.211 [8].
