Frequencies to be tested: Mid Range, as defined in TS 38.508-1 [45] clause 4.3.1.

Channel bandwidth to be tested: are specified in Table 16.3.2.4-1.

1. Connect the SS and AWGN noise sources to the UE antenna connector or antenna connectors as shown in Annex A, Figure A.14.

2. The general test parameter settings are set up according to Table 16.3.2.5-1 and Table 16.3.2.5-2.

3. Propagation conditions are set according to clause 4.16.2.

4. Message contents are defined in clause 16.3.2.4.3.

5. There are two cells in the test: PCell (Cell 1) and a neighbour cell (Cell 2). All cells are on the same RF channel in FR2.

16.3.2.4.2 Test procedure

The test consists of two sub-tests; the difference between the sub-tests is the PRS configuration, PRS.1.3 FR2 and PRS.1.4 FR2. The test consists of a set-up period and a measurement period. Cell 1 and Cell 2 are both active during the complete test. The beginning of the measurement period shall be aligned with the first PRS positioning subframe of a positioning occasion in the reference cell. The NR-DL-AoD-RequestLocationInformation message and the DL-AoD assistance data as defined in clause 16.3.2.4.3 shall be provided to the UE during the set-up period. The last TTI containing the NR-DL-AoD-RequestLocationInformation message shall be provided to the UE ΔT ms before the start of the measurement period, where ΔT = 50 ms is the maximum processing time of the NR-DL-AoD-RequestLocationInformation message and the DL-AoD assistance data in the UE.

  1. Ensure the UE is in State RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR, Connected without release On, Test Mode On and Test Loop Function On according to TS 38.508-1 [45] clause 4.5.

2. The SS shall send a RESET UE POSITIONING STORED INFORMATION message.

3. Set the parameters according to Table 16.3.2.5-1 and Table 16.3.2.5-2 as appropriate. Propagation conditions are set according to clause 4.16.2.

4. The SS shall send an LPP REQUEST CAPABILITIES message.

5. The UE shall transmit an LPP PROVIDE CAPABILITIES message indicating the DL-AoD capabilities supported by the UE in the NR-DL-AoD-ProvideCapabilities IE.

6. The SS shall send a LPP PROVIDE ASSISTANCE DATA message, including the nr-DL-AoD-ProvideAssistanceData-r16 IE. If the UE message at step 5 includes the ackRequested IE set to TRUE, then the SS shall send an acknowledgment in the LPP PROVIDE ASSISTANCE DATA message.

7. The SS shall send a LPP REQUEST LOCATION INFORMATION message, including the nr-DL-AoD-RequestLocationInformation-r16 IE such that the UE receives the message T ms before the start of the measurement period, where T = 50 ms.

8. The UE shall transmit a LPP PROVIDE LOCATION INFORMATION message including the nr-DL-AoD-ProvideLocationInformation-r16 IE within the response time (see clause 4.16.3). The UE shall perform and report the PRS-RSRP measurements for both Cell 1 and Cell 2.

9. If the UE message at step 8 includes the ackRequested IE set to TRUE, the SS shall send a LPP acknowledgement message.

10. The SS shall check the nr-DL-PRS-RSRP-Result-r16 and nr-DL-PRS-RSRP-ResultDiff-r16 value for Cell 1 and Cell 2 in the nr-DL-AoD-SignalMeasurementInformation-r16 according to Table 16.3.2.5-3.

11. Repeat step 2-10 until the confidence level according to Annex D is achieved.

12. Repeat step 1-11 for the other sub-test defined in Table 16.3.2.5-1 as appropriate.

If all (applicable) sub-tests pass, the whole test passes. If one (applicable) sub-test fails, the whole test fails.

Definition of Terms

GNSS: In this clause the term GNSS also includes the case where the only satellite system used is GPS.

System Simulator or SS: A device or system, that is capable of generating simulated Node B and/or eNode B signalling and analysing UE signalling responses on one RF channel, in order to create the required test environment for the UE under test. It will also include the following capabilities:

1. Control of the UE Tx output power through TPC commands.

2. Measurement of signalling timing and delays.

3. Ability to simulate UTRAN and/or E-UTRAN and/or NR signalling.

GNSS System Simulator or GSS: A device or system, that is capable of generating simulated GNSS satellite transmissions in order to create the required test environment for the UE under test. It will also include the following capabilities:

1. Control of the output power of individual satellites and the simulation of atmospheric delays and multi-path.

2. Generation of appropriate assistance data to be transmitted to the UE via the SS.

3. Ability to synchronize with UTRAN and/or E-UTRAN and/or NR timing in the SS.

MBS System Simulator or MSS: A device or system, that is capable of generating simulated MBS transmissions in order to create the required test environment for the UE under test. It will also include the following capabilities:

1. Control of the output power of individual beacons and the simulation of delays and multi-path.

2. Generation of appropriate messaging to be transmitted to the UE via the SS.

WLAN System Simulator or WSS: A device or system, that is capable of generating simulated WLAN beacons in order to create the required test environment for the UE under test. It will also include the following capabilities:

1. Control of the output power of individual beacons and the simulation of delays and AWGN.

BLE System Simulator or BSS: A device or system, that is capable of generating simulated BLE advertising signals in order to create the required test environment for the UE under test. It will also include the following capabilities:

1. Control of the output power of individual BLE signals and the simulation of delays and AWGN.

Test System: A combination of devices brought together into a system for the purpose of making one or more measurements on a UE in accordance with the test case requirements. The following diagrams are all examples of Test Systems.

NOTE: The above terms are logical definitions to be used to describe the test methods used in the present document, in practice, real devices called "System Simulators" may also include additional measurement capabilities or may only support those features required for the test cases they are designed to perform.
