C.3.1 General
38.1513GPPNRRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) Over-the-Air (OTA) performance requirements
This clause describes the MIMO OTA validation measurements, in order to ensure that the channel models are correctly implemented and hence capable of generating the propagation environment, as described by the model, within the test zone.
The following measurements shall be done for FR1 channel model validation:
Power Delay Profile (PDP)
Doppler/Temporal correlation
Spatial correlation
Cross-polarization
Power validation
Frequencies to be used to test for channel model validation:
