37.1063GPPRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) requirements for shared spectrum channel access

4.1 Relationship between minimum requirements and test requirements

The Minimum Requirements given in this specification make no allowance for measurement uncertainty. The test specification TS 36.521-1 [5] Annex F defines Test Tolerances for E-UTRA, and the test specification TS 38.521-1 [7] Annex F defines Test Tolerances for NR. These Test Tolerances are individually calculated for each test. The Test Tolerances are used to relax the Minimum Requirements in this specification to create Test Requirements.

The measurement results returned by the Test System are compared – without any modification – against the Test Requirements as defined by the shared risk principle.

The Shared Risk principle is defined in ITU-R M.1545 [2].

4.2 Applicability of minimum requirements

a) In this specification the Minimum Requirements are specified as general requirements and additional requirements. Where the Requirement is specified as a general requirement, the requirement is mandated to be met in all scenarios

b) For specific scenarios for which an additional requirement is specified, in addition to meeting the general requirement, the UE is mandated to meet the additional requirements.

c) The requirements in this specification for E-UTRA TDD operating bands apply for downlink and uplink operations using Frame Structure Type 3.
