4.4 Reference system configurations
38.508-13GPP5GSPart 1: Common test environmentRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) conformance specification
The reference system configurations specified in this sub clause apply to all test cases unless otherwise specified.
4.4.1 Simulated network scenarios
The simulated network scenarios will simulate UE operation in either standalone NR, standalone E-UTRA or in non-standalone NR and E-UTRA networks. For non-standalone case either the NR or the E-UTRA radio access acts as the master anchor node. For both standalone and non-standalone cases, the simulated networks may be single mode networks (FDD or TDD) or dual mode networks (FDD+TDD). For the standalone NR case the simulated networks may also be inter-RAT networks ((FDD or TDD) + (E-UTRA FDD or E-UTRA TDD or UTRA FDD).
Simulated network scenarios to be tested are listed in this sub clause.
NOTE 1: The number of cells specified does not necessarily correspond to the maximum number of resources to be configured simultaneously in test equipment. Please refer to clause 6.1 for such information.

Note 1: To avoid collision of the preambles between intra-frequency cells, with the default zeroCorrelationZoneConfig value set to 15, the PRACH-rootSequenceIndex values have been separated by 32 root sequences per intra-frequency cell. Note 2: This SSB-Index does not apply for RRM test cases in TS 38.533 [18]. RRM test cases shall use the SSB index defined in A.3 of TS 38.533 [18]. Note 3: For signalling test, simultaneous co-existence of active NR cells defined on the same frequency and same SSB-Index is not recommended due to the same timing used for intra-frequency NR cells in TS 38.523-3 [23]. |
