Cell 1 |
Reference cell is the cell in the OTDOA assistance data with respect to which the RSTD measurement is defined, as specified in 3GPP TS 36.214 [6] and 3GPP TS 36.355 [4]. The reference cell is the serving cell in this test case. |

Neighbour cells |
Cell 2 and Cell 3 |
Cell 2 and Cell 3 appear at random places in the neighbour cell list in the OTDOA assistance data, but Cell 2 always appears in the first half of the list, whilst Cell 3 appears in the second half of the list. |

Note 1: Parameters “Expected RSTD” and “Expected RSTD uncertainty for all neighbour cells” are not settable parameters. These are parameters signalled in LPP only. For the values to be used in LPP see Table 9.1.1.4.3-5 and TS 37.571-5 [20], clause 7.2.2. Note 2: Parameters “PRS Transmission Bandwidth”, “PRS configuration index”, “Number of consecutive downlink positioning subframes”, “Physical cell ID PCI”, “CP length”, and “PRS muting info” are settable parameters and also parameters signalled in LPP. The values to be used for “Physical cell ID PCI” are as follows: Cell 1: 0, Cell 2: 6, Cell 3: 12. For all the values to be used in LPP see Table 9.1.1.4.3-5 and TS 37.571-5 [20], clause 7.2.2. Note 3: The parameter “Radio frame receive time offset between the cells at the UE antenna connector” is not a settable parameter but is used to set the “true RSTD” values in step 6 of clause 9.1.1.4.1. |

9.1.1A.5 Test requirement
Table 9.1.1.5-1 and 9.1.1.5-2 define the primary level settings including test tolerances for the test.
The response time including test tolerance is 6.3 s. The response time is equal to the LPP time IE value plus the test tolerance. The LPP time IE value is derived from the RSTD reporting delay plus ΔT, where ΔT = 150 ms, giving a value of 5110 ms. This is rounded up to the next allowed LPP value of 6 seconds. The RSTD measurement reporting delay in the test is derived from the following expression, 
, where 
=8 and 
=16 are the parameters specified in clause 9.1.1A.3 and Table 9.1.1A.3‑1. This gives the total RSTD reporting delay of 4960 ms for the 15 neighbour cells including Cell 2 and Cell 3 with respect to the reference cell, Cell 1.
The test tolerances are defined in clauses C.1.3 and C4.
The rate of successful tests during repeated tests shall be at least 90% with a confidence level of 95%.
