A.2 General Considerations on Connections Diagram

38.508-13GPP5GSPart 1: Common test environmentRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) conformance specification

In order to improve the maintainability and the readability of this section and to make easy to identify the whole connection diagram to use per each test case, several considerations have been used for this section:

– The whole connection diagram to use for a specific test has been split in Test Equipment (TE) and User Equipment (UE) parts.

– The same connection diagram will be used for SA and NSA, where the LTE link is specified in each connection diagram (TE and UE) with a dashed line (and this part will be only used for NSA).

– To obtain the whole connection diagram required per each test case is necessary to specify the TE part required for each measurement and the UE part will depend on the UE antenna implementation.
