4B Applicability of tests for types and Categories of UE

37.571-13GPPPart 1: Conformance test specificationRelease 16TSUser Equipment (UE) conformance specification for UE positioning

4B.1 Introduction

In this clause, the applicability of the tests defined in clauses 7 to 16 of this specification are detailed for various types and Categories of UE for information.

4B.2 Applicability of requirements and tests

The applicability of the requirements for various types and Categories of UE for the tests in this specification are defined as follows:

– for the tests in clause 7 (E-UTRA A-GNSS): applicabilities are defined in TS 36.171 [3] clauses 4.1 and 4.1.1

– for the tests in clauses 8 (E-UTRA ECID), 9 (E-UTRA OTDOA), 10 (E-UTRA OTDOA for Carrier Aggregation): applicabilities are defined in TS 36.133 [23] clause 3.6.1

– for the tests in clauses 11 (E-UTRA and NR MBS), 12 (E-UTRA WLAN and BLE): applicabilities are defined in TS 37.171 [39]

– for the tests in clause 13 (NR A-GNSS): applicabilities are defined in TS 38.171 [43] clause 4.1

– for the tests in clause 14 (NR OTDOA): applicabilities are defined in TS 38.133 [23] clause 3.6

– for the tests in clauses 15 (NR WLAN), 16 (NR BLE): applicabilities are defined in TS 37.171 [39].

These are summarised below for the relevant tests in this specification.

Note 1: The requirements for a UE Category 0 are derived assuming UE Category 0 and a single antenna receiver.

Note 2: The requirements for UE Category 1bis are derived assuming UE Category 1bis and a single antenna receiver.

Note 3: The requirements for UE Category NB1/NB2 are derived assuming UE Category NB1/NB2 and a single antenna receiver.

Editor’s note: the current versions of this specification and TS 37.571-3 do not accurately reflect the above table. The above table should therefore be used where it differs from the applicabilities given in this specification and TS 37.571-3.
