6 Performance criteria

38.1243GPPElectromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements for mobile terminals and ancillary equipmentNRRelease 17TS

6.1 General

The maintenance of a communications link shall be assessed by using an indicator, which may be part of the test system or the equipment under test.

Specifically the equipment shall meet the minimum performance criteria as specified in the following clauses as appropriate.

Portable equipment intended for use whilst powered by the main battery of a vehicle shall additionally fulfil the applicable requirements set out by the present document for mobile equipment for vehicular use.

Portable equipment intended for use whilst powered by AC mains shall additionally fulfil the applicable requirements set out by the present document for equipment for fixed use.

If an equipment is of such nature, that the performance criteria described in the following clauses are not appropriate, then the manufacturer shall declare, for inclusion in the test report, his own specification for an acceptable level of performance or degradation of performance during and/or after testing, as required by the present document.

The performance criteria specified by the manufacturer shall give the same degree of immunity protection as called for in the following clauses.

In addition, the test shall also be performed in idle mode to ensure the transmitter does not unintentionally operate.

The requirements apply to all types of NR for the UE.

6.2 Performance criteria for continuous phenomena

A communication link shall be established at the start of the test, and maintained during the test, clauses 4.1 and 4.2.

In the data transfer mode, the performance criteria shall be that the throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel as specified in annex A in TS 38.101-1 [3] or TS 38.101-2 [4], with parameters specified in clause 7.3.2 in TS 38.101-1 [3] or TS 38.101-2 [4] during the test sequence.

At the conclusion of the test, the EUT shall operate as intended with no loss of user control functions or stored data, and the communication link shall have been maintained.

In addition to confirming the above performance in traffic mode, the test shall be performed in idle mode, and the transmitter shall not unintentionally operate.

6.3 Performance criteria for transient phenomena

A communications link shall be established at the start of the test, clauses 4.1 and 4.2.

At the conclusion of each exposure the EUT shall operate with no user noticeable loss of the communication link.

At the conclusion of the total test comprising the series of individual exposures, the EUT shall operate as intended with no loss of user control functions or stored data, as declared by the manufacturer, and the communication link shall have been maintained.

In addition to confirming the above performance in traffic mode, the test shall also be performed in idle mode, and the transmitter shall not unintentionally operate.
