38.101-13GPPNRPart 1: Range 1 StandaloneRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) radio transmission and reception

7.3E.1 General

The reference sensitivity power level PREFSENS_V2X is the minimum mean power applied to each one of the UE antenna port for V2X UE, at which the throughput shall meet or exceed the requirements for the specified reference measurement channel.

7.3E.2 Minimum requirements

When UE is configured for NR V2X reception non-concurrent with NR uplink transmissions for NR V2X operating bands specified in Table 5.2E.1-1, the throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annexes A.7.2 with parameters specified in Table 7.3E.2-1.

7.3E.3 Reference sensitivity power level for V2X con-current operation

When UE is configured for NR V2X reception on V2X carrier con-current with NR uplink and downlink, NR V2X sidelink throughput for the carrier shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annexes A.7.2 with parameters specified in Table 7.3E.2-1 and 7.3E.2-2. Also the NR downlink throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annexes A.3 with parameters specified in table 7.3.2-1a, 7.3.2-1b, 7.3.2-2 and 7.3.2-3. The reference sensitivity is defined to be met with all downlink component carriers active. The REFSENS of Uu downlink and PC5 sidelink will be tested at the same time. Exceptions to reference sensitivity with different transmission and reception configurations are allowed for the combinations of aggressor and victim bands specified in table 7.3E.3-3 and 7.3E.3-4. The limited test configurations are specified in table 7.3E.3-3 and 7.3E.3-4 to verify MSD requirements.

For the intra-band con-current NR V2X operation, the reference sensitivity power level shall be applied per carrier. The requirements in clause 7.3.2 shall be appled for NR downlink carrier and the requirements in clause 7.3E.2 shall be applied for NR sidelink carrier. NR V2X sidelink throughput for the carrier shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annexes A.7.2. Also the NR downlink throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annexes A.3.2 in TS38.101-1.

For reference sensitivity exception test points where the specified carrier frequency does not correspond to a valid NR-ARFCN, the closest NR-ARFCN as specified in clause 5.4.2 applies.

NOTE 1: These requirements apply when there is at least one individual RE within the uplink transmission bandwidth of the aggressor (lower) band for which the 2nd / 3rd / 4th / 5th transmitter harmonic is within the downlink transmission bandwidth of a victim (higher) band.

NOTE 2: The requirements should be verified for UL NR ARFCN of the aggressor (lower) band (superscript LB) such that in MHz and with the carrier frequency in the victim (higher) band in MHz and the channel bandwidth configured in the low band.
