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:
