6 Performance criteria
37.1133GPPMulti-Standard Radio (MSR) Base Station (BS) Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)NR, E-UTRA, UTRA and GSM/EDGERelease 17TS
The test should, where possible, be performed using a bearer with the characteristics of data rate and performance criteria defined for NR, E-UTRA, UTRA, GSM/EDGE and NB-IoT below. If the test is not performed using one of these bearers (for example, if none of them are supported by the BS) the characteristics of the bearer used shall be recorded in the test report.
6.1 Performance criteria for continuous phenomena for BS
6.1.1 E-UTRA performance criteria
The throughput in table 6.1.1-1 is stated relative to the maximum throughput of the FRC. The maximum throughput for an FRC is equal to the payload size * the number of uplink subframes per second.
The BS Uplink and Downlink paths shall each meet the performance criteria defined in table 6.1.1-1 during the test. If the Uplink and Downlink paths are evaluated as a one loop then the criteria is two times the throughput reduction shown in table 6.1.1-1. After each test case BS shall operate as intended with no loss of user control function, stored data and the communication link shall be maintained.

NOTE 1: The performance criteria, "Throughput > 95 % / No loss of service", applies also if a bearer with another characteristics is used in the test.
NOTE 2: The performance criteria, "Throughput > 90 % / No loss of service", applies instead if the Uplink and Downlink paths are evaluated as a one loop.
NOTE 3: This is the information data rate of a single instance of the bearer mapped to 25 resource blocks. The performance criteria shall be met for each consecutive application of a single instance of the bearer mapped to disjoint frequency ranges with a width of 25 resource blocks each.
6.1.2 UTRA performance criteria
The BS Uplink and Downlink paths shall each meet the performance criteria defined in table 6.1.2-1 during the test. If the Uplink and Downlink paths are evaluated as a one loop, then the criterion is two times the value shown in table 6.1.2‑1. After each test case BS shall operate as intended with no loss of user control function, stored data and the communication link shall be maintained.

6.1.3 GSM/EDGE performance criteria
6.1.3.1 GSM/EDGE downlink

If the test method of Annex A.1.1 is used, the measured BER of the class 2 bits of TCH/FS shall not exceed 1,6 % during the test.
NOTE: This BER is the upper limit in TS 45.008 [32] for RXQUAL = 3.
If the test method of Annex A.1.2 is used, the value of RXQUAL shall not exceed 3 during the test.
At the conclusion of the test the EUT shall operate as intended with no loss of user control functions or stored data, and the communication link shall have been maintained.

If the test method of Annex A.2.2 is used, the measured BER of the class 2 bits of TCH/FS shall not exceed 1,6 % during the test.
NOTE: This BER is the upper limit in TS 45.008 [32] for RXQUAL = 3.
For a base station, the RXQUAL of the uplink shall not exceed three (3) measured during the test sequence.
At the conclusion of the test the EUT shall operate as intended with no loss of user control functions or stored data, and the communication link shall have been maintained.
6.1.4 NB-IoT performance criteria
The throughput in table 6.1.4-1 is stated relative to the maximum throughput of the FRC. The Maximum throughput for an FRC equals the Payload size / (Number of Resource Unit * time to send one Resource Unit).
The BS Uplink and Downlink paths shall each meet the performance criteria defined in table 6.1.4-1 during the test. If the Uplink and Downlink paths are evaluated as a one loop, then the criterion is two times the throughput reduction shown in table 6.1.4-1. After each test case BS shall operate as intended with no loss of user control function, stored data and the communication link shall be maintained.

6.1.5 NR performance criteria
The throughput in table 6.1.5-1 is stated relative to the maximum throughput of the FRC. The maximum throughput for an FRC is equal to the [payload size * the number of uplink subframes per second].
The BS Uplink and Downlink paths shall each meet the performance criteria defined in table 6.1.5-1 during the test. If the Uplink and Downlink paths are evaluated as a one loop, then the criterion is two times the throughput reduction shown in table 6.1.5-1.

6.2 Performance criteria for transient phenomena for BS
At the conclusion of each exposure the EUT shall operate with no user noticeable loss of the communication link.
At the conclusion of the total test comprising the series of individual exposures the EUT shall operate as intended with no loss of user control functions or stored data, as declared by the manufacturer, and the communication link shall have been maintained.
The below characteristics should be chosen based on manufacture declaration and are defined as:
– The E-UTRA channel bandwidth and bearer information data rate are defined in table 6.1.1-1.
– The UTRA bearer information data rate are defined in table 6.1.2-1.
– The GSM/EDGE the test BER assessment are defined in subclause 6.1.3.1 for downlink and subclasue 6.1.3.2 for uplink, while the criteria is defined in subclause 6.2.
– The NB-IoT sub-carrier spacing and reference measurement channel are defined in table 6.1.4-1.
– The NR channel bandwidth, sub-carrier spacing and bearer information data rate are defined in table 6.1.5-1.
6.3 Performance criteria for continuous phenomena for Ancillary equipment
The apparatus shall continue to operate as intended during and after the test. No degradation of performance or loss of function is allowed below the performance level specified by the manufacturer, when the apparatus is used as intended. The performance level may be replaced by a permissible performance loss. If the minimum performance level or the permissible performance loss is not specified by the manufacturer, either of these may be derived from the product description and documentation and what the user may reasonably expect from the apparatus if used as intended.
6.4 Performance criteria for transient phenomena for Ancillary equipment
The apparatus shall continue to operate as intended after the test. No degradation of performance or loss of function is allowed below the performance level specified by the manufacturer, when the apparatus is used as intended. The performance level may be replaced by a permissible performance loss. During the test, degradation of performance is however allowed. If the minimum performance level or the permissible performance loss is not specified by the manufacturer, either of these may be derived from the product description and documentation and what the user may reasonably expect from the apparatus if used as intended.
