C.2.0 General
Test frequencies are determined as:
For symmetric NR bands (supporting same bandwidth in UL and DL):
– test frequencies for the supported symmetric channel bandwidth combinations are determined as described in clause C.2.1; and
– the test frequencies for the supported asymmetric channel bandwidth combinations are determined as described in clause C.2.3.
For asymmetric NR bands (supporting different bandwidth in UL and DL):
– the test frequencies for the supported symmetric channel bandwidth combinations are determined as described in clause C.2.2; and
– the test frequencies for the supported asymmetric channel bandwidth combinations are determined as described in clause C.2.3.
For NR CA and NR DC:
– the test frequencies are determined as described in the relevant subclause in C.2.4 depending to the type of configuration.
The carrier test frequencies are determined considering the channel raster according to clause 5.4.2.3 in TS 38.101-1 [7] for FR1 and in TS 38.101-2 [8] for FR2.
C.2.1 Determination of test frequencies for symmetric NR bands and symmetric uplink and downlink channel bandwidth combinations
C.2.1.1 Determination of test frequencies for Low-, Mid- and High-Range
Downlink:
FDL_LowRange = Ceil((FDL_Low + CBWDL/2) / ΔFRaster) * ΔFRaster |
C.2.1.1-Eq1 |
FDL_MidRange = Round((FDL_Low + BWDL/2) / ΔFRaster) * ΔFRaster |
C.2.1.1-Eq2 |
FDL_HighRange = Floor((FDL_High – CBWDL/2) / ΔFRaster) * ΔFRaster |
C.2.1.1-Eq3 |
FDL_LowRange is rounded up and FDL_HighRange is rounded down to obey to the minimum guard band according to clause 5.3.3 of TS 38.101-1 [7] and TS 38.101-2 [8].
Uplink:
FUL_LowRange = FDL_LowRange – FTx-Rx_separation |
C.2.1.1-Eq4 |
FUL_MidRange = FDL_MidRange – FTx-Rx_separation |
C.2.1.1-Eq5 |
FUL_HighRange = FDL_HighRange – FTx-Rx_separation |
C.2.1.1-Eq6 |
C.2.1.2 Determination test frequencies for of Mid-Low and Mid-High-Range for signalling tests
FMid-LowRange = Round((FLowRange+ (FHighRange – FLowRange )/3) / ΔFRaster) * ΔFRaster |
C.2.1.2-Eq1 |
FMid-HighRange = Round((FLowRange + 2*(FHighRange – FLowRange )/3) / ΔFRaster) * ΔFRaster |
C.2.1.2-Eq2 |
C.2.2 Determination of test frequencies for asymmetric NR bands and symmetric uplink and downlink channel bandwidth combinations
Determination of test frequencies for asymmetric NR bands, and symmetric uplink and downlink channel bandwidth combinations are determined using the procedure in clause C.2.3 with ΔFTx-Rx = 0.
C.2.3 Determination of test frequencies for bands supporting asymmetric channel bandwidth combinations
C.2.3.1 General
The following procedure is used to calculate test frequencies for NR bands supporting asymmetric UL and DL channel bandwidths as described below, where CBWUL and CBWDL refer to the carrier’s UL and DL channel bandwidths; and BWUL and BWDL refer to the band’s total UL and DL bandwidths.
The procedure is also used to calculate test frequencies for symmetric UL and DL bandwidth combinations for asymmetric NR bands.
For FDD bands supporting asymmetric uplink and downlink bandwidth combinations a deviation of ΔFTX-RX (C.2.3.1-Eq1) is to be added to the default Tx-Rx carrier centre frequency separation, FTx-Rx_separation (TS 38.101-1 [7] clause 5.3.6).
ΔFTX-RX = |(CBWDL – CBWUL)/2| |
C.2.3.1-Eq1 |
For the case of asymmetric NR bands and symmetric UL and DL bandwidth combinations ΔFTX-RX = 0.To meet the Tx-Rx frequency separation requirement for asymmetric NR bands were the supported overall UL bandwidth is smaller than the supported overall DL bandwidth it may not be possible to cover the full DL frequency range for all UL and DL channel bandwidth combinations. For CA when such band is only used for DL CC the full range can be used for all DL channel bandwidths.
To maximize the tested frequency range for the non-CA case the UL frequency range, as being smaller than the DL frequency range, need to be used as the starting point to calculate the uplink and downlink test frequencies.
C.2.3.2 Determination of Low-, Mid- and High-Range for bands supporting asymmetric uplink and downlink bandwidth combinations
The following procedure is used to determine the test frequencies for Low-, Mid- and High-Range for bands supporting asymmetric UL and DL bandwidth combinations.
1. Calculate uplink carrier centre frequencies:
FUL_LowRange = Ceil((FUL_Low + CBWUL/2) / ΔFRaster) * ΔFRaster |
C.2.3.2-Eq1 |
FUL_MidRange = Round((FUL_Low + BWUL_Band/2) / ΔFRaster) * ΔFRaster |
C.2.3.2-Eq2 |
FUL_HighRange = Floor((FUL_Low + BWUL_Band – CBWUL/2) / ΔFRaster) * ΔFRaster |
C.2.3.2-Eq3 |
2. Calculate the downlink frequencies:
Calculate the DL carrier centre frequencies from the UL frequencies in step 1.
FDL_LowRange = FUL_LowRange + FTx-Rx_separation + ΔFTx-Rx |
C.2.3.2-Eq4 |
FDL_MidRange = FUL_MidRange + FTx-Rx_separation + ΔFTx-Rx |
C.2.3.2-Eq5 |
FDL_HighRange = FUL_HighRange + FTx-Rx_separation + ΔFTx-Rx |
C.2.3.2-Eq6 |
3. Check that the calculated centre test frequencies in step 2 for the BWDL fits within the bands DL frequency range:
If FDL_LowRange is smaller than the lowest frequency of the band then recalculate the minimum FDL_LowRange and modify the associated FUL_LowRange, FDL_MidRange and FUL_MidRange as:
FDL_LowRange = Ceil((FDL_Low + CBWDL/2) / ΔFRaster) * ΔFRaster |
C.2.3.2-Eq7 |
FUL_LowRange = FDL_LowRange – FTx-Rx_separation – ΔFTx-Rx |
C.2.3.2-Eq8 |
FDL_MidRange = Round((FDL_LowRange + FDL_HighRange)/2 / ΔFRaster))* ΔFRaster |
C.2.3.2-Eq8a |
FUL_MidRange = FDL_MidRange – FTx-Rx_separation – ΔFTx-Rx |
C.2.3.2-Eq8b |
If FDL_HighRange is larger than the higher frequency of the band then recalculate the maximum FDL_HighRange and modify the associated FUL_HighRange, FDL_MidRange and FUL_MidRange as:
FDL_HighRange = Floor((FDL_Low + BWDL_Band – CBWDL/2) / ΔFRaster) * ΔFRaster |
C.2.3.2-Eq9 |
FUL_HighRange = FDL_HighRange – FTx-Rx_separation – ΔFTx-Rx |
C.2.3.2-Eq10 |
FDL_MidRange = Round((FDL_LowRange + FDL_HighRange)/2 / ΔFRaster))* ΔFRaster |
C.2.3.2-Eq11 |
FUL_MidRange = FDL_MidRange – FTx-Rx_separation – ΔFTx-Rx |
C.2.3.2-Eq12 |
C.2.3.3 Determination of test frequencies for a Mid range adjacent inter-frequency cell for FR2 RRM multicell testing
The following procedure is used to determine the test frequencies for Mid-Range adjacent inter-frequency cell used for RRM FR2 NR multi-cell in NR SA and EN-DC test cases. The reason for using an adjacent inter-frequency cell to the Mid-range cell for FR2 instead of using Low- or High- Range test frequencies as used for FR1 is to reduce test system complexity.
In addition to the definition of parameters in clause C.1 the following parameters are used to calculate the test frequencies for the Mid adjacent inter-frequency cell:
Parameter |
Description |
FMid |
Carrier centre frequency (MHz) of the Mid-range cell |
CBWMid |
Channel bandwidth (MHz) of the Mid-range cell |
CBWAdjecent |
Channel bandwidth (MHz) of the adjacent cell |
1. Calculate the Mid-range adjacent cell carrier centre frequencies:
FMidRangeAdjecentCell = Ceil((FMid + (CBWMid + CBWAdjecent)/2) / ΔFRaster) * ΔFRaster |

Test frequencies for NR Inter-band CA configurations and NR DC use the single carrier test frequencies for each of the included NR bands in the configuration as specified in clause 4.3.1.1.1 for FR1 bands and in clause 4.3.1.2.1 for FR2 bands.

By default, test frequencies for NR Intra-band Contiguous CA in clause 4.3.1 are specified using the nominal channel spacing between the carrier components as specified in TS 38.101-1 [7] clause 5.4A.1 for FR1 and TS 38.101-2 [8] clause 5.4A.1 for FR2. In addition, some NR bands may have test frequencies specified based on an adjusted channel spacing as specified in in TS 38.101-1 [7] clause 5.4A.1 for FR1 and TS 38.101-2 [8] clause 5.4A.1 for FR2.
The test frequencies for NR Intra-band Contiguous CA with SCS=15kHz or SCS=30 kHz for FR1 and with SCS=60 kHZ or SCS=120 kHz for FR2 is calculated for each CC such that the specific test cases can decide which CC is used as PCell. This means that all CC test frequencies is calculated with a CORESET#0 as specified in clause C.3.2.
The test frequencies for CCs with SCS=60 kHz for FR1 and with SCS=240 kHz for FR2 is calculated without CORESET#0 as specified in C.3.3. CCs with SCS=60 kHz for FR1 and with SCS=240 kHz for FR2 can only be used for NR Intra-band Contiguous CA configurations with mixed numerologies.
Note: For NR Intra-band Contiguous CA configurations for bands where Tx frequency range is lower than Rx frequency range the RAN4 requirements for reference sensitivity testing is specified having the PCC frequency lower than the SCC frequencies such that UL PRB maximise the Tx-Rx separation. This means that CC1 shall be used as PCell in the reference test case for bands where Tx frequency range is lower than Rx frequency range; and highest CC shall be used as PCell in the reference test case for bands where Tx frequency range is higher than Rx frequency range.
In addition to the definition of parameters in clause C.1 the following parameters are used to calculate carrier components (CC) test frequencies for NR Intra-band Contiguous and Non-contiguous CA configurations:

C.2.4.3 Determination of test frequencies for NR Intra-band Non-Contiguous CA
C.2.4.3.1 General
The default test frequencies in clause 4.3.1 for NR Intra-band Non-Contiguous CA are based on maximum Wgap between the carrier components of the different bands taking the UE capability of maximum supported frequency separation between the lower edge of lowest component carrier and upper edge of highest component carrier for UL for FR1, and UL and DL for FR2.

For FR2 intra-band non-contiguous CA configurations without non-contiguous UL CA the selected value of maxFsBW is based on applicable frequency separation classes for DL non-contiguous operation in TS 38.101-2 [8],Table 5.3A.4-2. |
C.2.4.3.2 Determination of test frequencies for a sub-block combination
Editor’s note: The number of test points for intra-band non-contiguous CA configurations is under investigation, e.g. “Low” and “High”, or “Mid”.
1. Calculate the maxWgap value between sub-blocks for the sub-block combination:
maxWgap = (maxFsBW – ∑k=1 to NSB SBCBWDL(k)) / (NSB-1) |
C.2.4.3.3-Eq1 |
2. Calculate test frequencies for all sub-blocks in the sub-block combination:
If the maxFsBW is smaller than the full bandwidth of the NR band then calculate test frequencies for both Low and High range else only for the Low range.
For Low range the test frequencies are calculated such that the lower edge of the lowest component carrier of the lowest frequency sub-block is located at the lower edge of the NR bandwidth. The sub-blocks are separated by the calculated maxWgap in step 1.
For High range the test frequencies are calculated such that the upper edge of the highest component carrier of the highest frequency sub-block is located at the upper edge frequency of the NR bandwidth. The sub-blocks are separated by the calculated maxWgap in step 1.
Within each sub-block the test frequencies and parameters of the sub-block are calculated based on the location of the sub-block and the relevant principles in clause C.2, C3 and C4 for the type of component carriers in the sub-block.
The test frequencies for CCs with SCS=60 kHz for FR1 and with SCS=240 kHz for FR2 is calculated without CORESET#0 as specified in C.3.3. CCs with SCS=60 kHz for FR1 and with SCS=240 kHz for FR2 can only be used for NR Intra-band Non-Contiguous CA configurations with mixed numerologies.

C.2.6.3 Determination of test frequencies for EN-DC Intra-band non-contiguous
Test frequencies for EN-DC Intra-band non-contiguous configurations use the Low and High ranges test frequencies for each of the included single carrier E-UTRA and NR bands, and E-UTRA and NR CA configurations in the configuration as specified E-UTRA in TS 36.508 [2], clause 4.3.1 and for NR in clause 4.3.1.1.1 for FR1 bands and in clause 4.3.1.2.1 for FR2 bands.
The following cases of test frequencies are specified for relevant E-UTRA and NR CBW combinations, and NR SCS:
– Low with maxWgap (NR – E-UTRA): NR Low range and E-UTRA High range
– High with maxWgap (E-UTRA – NR): NR High range and E-UTRA Low range
