6.2A.1 UE maximum output power for CA

For downlink intra-band contiguous and non-contiguous carrier aggregation with a single uplink component carrier configured in the NR band, the maximum output power is specified in clause 6.2.1.

For uplink intra-band contiguous and non-contiguous carrier aggregation for any CA bandwidth class, the maximum output power is specified in clause 6.2.1.

For inter-band uplink CA with two NR bands with each UL band configured with a single CC, the maximum power requirements are applicable per band, with both carriers active with non-zero power UL RB allocation. The maximum output power values for TRP and EIRP are applicable per carrier and are specified in tables 6.2.1.x-2. The minimum peak values for EIRP are defined in Tables 6.2.1.x-1 and further relaxed by ΔT_IB,P,n specified in Table 6.2A.1-x. The peak EIRP requirements are verified with the test metric of EIRP (Link=TX beam peak direction, Meas=Link angle).

The inter-band ULCA spherical coverage requirement for each power class is met if the intersection set of spherical coverage areas exceeds the common coverage requirement for that power class. For inter-band ULCA. the spherical coverage area for each band is the region of the sphere measured around the UE where the measured EIRP exceeds the EIRP level specified in Tables 6.2.1.x-3 and further reduced by the parameter ΔT_IB,S,n specified in Table 6.2A.1-x. The intersection set of spherical coverage areas is defined as a fraction of area of full sphere measured around the UE where both bands meet their individual EIRP spherical coverage requirements for inter-band CA operation. The common coverage requirement is determined as <100-percentile rank> %, where ‘percentile rank’ is the percentile value in the specification of spherical coverage for that power class from Tables 6.2.1.x-3. The spherical coverage EIRP requirements are verified with the test metric of EIRP (Link=Spherical coverage grid, Meas=Link angle).

The ΔT_IB parameters are specified in tables 6.2A.1-x.

6.2A.2 UE maximum output power reduction for CA

6.2A.2.1 General

The UE is defined to be configured for CA operation when it has at least one of UL or DL configured for CA. In CA operation, the UE may reduce its maximum output power due to higher order modulations and transmit bandwidth configurations. This Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) is defined in clauses below. The allowed MPR for SRS, PUCCH formats 0, 1, 3 and 4, shall be as specified for QPSK modulated DFT-s-OFDM of equivalent RB allocation. The allowed MPR for PUCCH format 2, shall be as specified for QPSK modulated CP-OFDM of equivalent RB allocation.

When the maximum output power of a UE is modified by MPR, the power limits specified in clause 6.2A.4 applyThe requirements in the following clauses are applicable to the following CA configurations:

– intra-band contiguous uplink CA, with the aggregated channel bandwidth no greater than 800 MHz.

– intra-band non-contiguous uplink CA with UL frequency separation no greater than 1400 MHz, and no more than 3 sub-blocks. A sub-block may consist of single CC or multiple contiguous CCs.

– inter-band uplink CA with two NR bands, and each UL band is configured with a single CC.

– In case the CA configuration consists of a single UL CC, MPR for contiguous UL CA applies and where necessary, BW_channel shall be used as BW_{channel_CA}.

6.2A.2.2 Maximum output power reduction for power class 1

For power class 1, MPR for intra-band contiguous UL CA with contiguous allocations within the cumulative aggregated bandwidth is defined as:

MPR_{C_CA}= max(MPR_{WT_C_CA}, MPR_narrow)

Where,

MPR_narrow= 14.4 dB, when BW_alloc,RB is less than or equal to 1.44 MHz, MPR_narrow= 10 dB, when 1.44 MHz < BW_alloc,RB≤ 10.8 MHz, where BW_alloc,RBis the bandwidth of the RB allocation size.

MPR_{WT_C_CA} is the maximum power reduction due to modulation orders, transmit bandwidth configurations, and waveform types. MPR_{WT_C_CA} is defined in Tables 6.2A.2.2-1 and 6.2A.2.2-2.

and assume all UL CCs use the same SCS for the purpose of determination of inner and outer RB allocations in Table 6.2.2.1-1 and Table 6.2.2.1-2:

N_RB shall be chosen as the sum of N_RB of all constituent UL CCs in the CA configuration.

L_CRB shall be chosen as BW_alloc,RB

RB_start shall be derived as: RB_{start_allocatedCC}+N_{RB_unallocatedCC_low}

MPR = max(MPR_{C_CA}, -10*A + 14.4)

6.2A.4.1 Configured transmitted power for intra-band UL CA

A UE configured with carrier aggregation can configure its maximum output power for each uplink activated serving cell c and its total configured maximum output power P_CMAX. The definition of the configured UE maximum output power P_CMAX,_f,c for each carrier f of a serving cell c is used for power headroom reporting for carrier f of serving cell c only and is in accordance with that specified in clause 6.2.4 with parameters MPR, A-MPR and P-MPR replaced with those specified in subclause 6.2A.2, 6.2A.3 and 6.2.4, respectively. The UE maximum configured power P_CMAX in a transmission occasion is determined by the UL grants for carriers f of all serving cells c with non-zero granted power in the respective reference point.

For uplink intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation, MPR is specified in clause 6.2A.2. P_CMAXis calculated under the assumption that power spectral density for each RB in each component carrier is same.

The configured UE maximum output power P_CMAX shall be set such that the corresponding measured total peak EIRP P_UMAX is within the following bounds

P_Powerclass – MAX(MAX(MPR, A-MPR) + ΔMB_P,n, P-MPR) – MAX{T(MAX(MPR, A-MPR)),T(P-MPR)} ≤ P_UMAX ≤ EIRP_max

where p_UMAX,f,c is the linear value of the measured power P_UMAX,f,cfor carrier f=f(c) of serving cell c. The measured total radiated power P_TMAX for carrier aggregation is defined as

where p_TMAX,f,c is the linear value of the measured total radiated power P_TMAX,f,cfor carrier f = f(c) of serving cell c. The total radiated power P_TMAX is bounded by

6.2A.4.2 Configured transmitted power for inter-band UL CA

A UE can configure its maximum output power for each uplink band when it is configured for inter-band UL carrier aggregation with two NR bands each with a single UL CC. For each uplink band n, the configured UE maximum output power P_CMAX,f,c,n for carrier f of a serving cell c is defined as that available to the reference point of a given transmitter branch that corresponds to the reference point of the higher-layer filtered RSRP measurement as specified in TS 38.215 [11].

The configured UE maximum output power P_CMAX,f,c,n for carrier f of a serving cell c in band n shall be set such that the corresponding measured peak EIRP P_UMAX,f,c,n is within the following bounds

P_Powerclass + DP_IBE – MAX(MAX(MPR_f,c,n, A- MPR_f,c,n) + ΔT_IB,P,n, P-MPR_f,c,n) – MAX{T(MAX(MPR_f,c,n, A- MPR_f,c,n,)), T(P-MPR_f,c,n)} ≤ P_UMAX,f,c,n ≤ EIRP_max,n

while the corresponding measured total radiated power in uplink band n, P_TMAX,f,c,n , is bounded by

P_TMAX,f,c,n ≤ TRP_max,n

with P_Powerclass the UE minimum peak EIRP as specified in sub-clause 6.2A.1, EIRP_max,n the applicable maximum EIRP as specified in sub-clause 6.2A.1 for uplink band n and TRP_max,n the applicable maximum TRP as specified in sub-clause 6.2A.1 for uplink band n. MPR_f,c,n as specified in sub-clause 6.2A.2 for uplink band n, A-MPR_f,c,n as specified in sub-clause 6.2A.3 for uplink band n, ΔT_IB,P,n the peak EIRP relaxation as specified in clause 6.2A.1. The requirement is verified in beam peak direction.

P_IBE, mpr-PowerBoost-FR2-r16 and maxUplinkDutyCycle-FR2 are described in clause 6.2.4.

P-MPR_f,c,n is the power management maximum output power reduction P-MPR_f,c in band n. P-MPR_f,c is defined in clause 6.2.4.

The tolerance T(∆P) for applicable values of ∆P (values in dB) in each band is specified in Table 6.2.4-1.

6.2A.5 Requirements for UL gap (ul-GapFR2-r17) for TX power management in CA

The difference of the measured peak EIRP P_{UMAX_GAP_ON} for CA when UL gap for TX power management is configured and activated, and the measured peak EIRP P_{UMAX_GAP_OFF} when UL gap is not configured or de-activated, shall meet the following requirement:

P_{UMAX_GAP_ON}– P_{UMAX_GAP_OFF}max((EIRP_{meas_peak}– 23) + 10 * log10(Z/20), 3)dB

where EIRP_{meas_peak} is the measured UE peak EIRP with zero MPR/A-MPR/P-MPR in clause 6.2A.1 for the corresponding power class, and Z% is duty cycle of the reference measurement channel. P_{UMAX,f,c_GAP_ON} shall be measured outside of the UL gap symbol(s). The period of measurement shall be at least 4 seconds. The requirement is verified with the test metric of EIRP (Link=TX beam peak direction, Meas=Link angle) and in the test Z is set to 20 when maxUplinkDutyCycle-FR2 is less than 20 or not reported, and should be larger than maxUplinkDutyCycle-FR2 when maxUplinkDutyCycle-FR2 is equal to or greater than 20, assuming all CCs share the same TX beam peak direction. The reference measurement channel is specified in Annex A.2.3.

When UL gap for Tx power management is configured and activated, the reported P-MPR_f,c shall be less than 3dB. When UL gap for Tx power management is not configured and activated, UE shall set the P bit in PHR to 1 in the test when PHR is configured. P-bit is defined in TS 38.321 clause 6.1.3.8 and 6.1.3.9.
