6 Test Mode Control message definitions
38.5093GPP5GSRelease 17Special conformance testing functions for User Equipment (UE)TS
6.1 General
Clause 6 describes only TMC protocol messages.
When UE under test is operated in EN-DC or NGEN-DC the TMC messages are sent using the E-UTRA RRC DLInformationTransfer and ULInformationTransfer procedures, see TS 36.331 [10], subclauses 5.6.1 and 5.6.2.
When UE under test is operated in NR or NE-DC the TMC messages are sent using the NR RRC DLInformationTransfer and ULInformationTransfer procedures, see TS 38.331 [11], subclauses 5.7.1 and 5.7.2.
NOTE 1: A message received with skip indicator different from 0 will be ignored.
NOTE 2: For general definition of Layer 3 message format see TS 24.007 [7], clause 11.
NOTE 3: 5GS use the same protocol discriminator value ("1111") as E-UTRA, UTRA and GSM/GPRS as specified in TS 24.007 [7], subclause 11.2.3.1.1. 5GS test control messages the message type value series 101xxxxx is reserved, where x represents 0 or 1. The message type values 0000xxxx to 1001xxxx are reserved to E-UTRA, UTRA and GSM/GPRS as specified in TS 36.509 [6], TS 34.109 [8] and TS 44.014 [9]. For 5GS test control messages that are common with E-UTRA control messages in TS 36.509 [6] the 5GS test control messages use the same message type values as used for the E-UTRA test control messages in TS 36.509 [6].
All the TMC messages are integrity protected and ciphered according to TS 24.301 [17] subclause 4.4 or TS 24.501 [21] subclause 4.4 depending on whether the TMC message is sent via EPS or 5GC.

Q4..Q0 = 0..31 representing DRB-Identity -1, where DRB-Identity identifies the data radio bearer in accordance to TS 36.331 [10] for E-UTRA Data Radio Bearers and TS 38.331 [11] for NR Data Radio Bearers [11] (binary coded, Q4 is most significant bit and Q0 least significant bit).
NOTE 1: The UL PDCP SDU size is limited to 12160 bits (1520 octets).
NOTE 2: A "LB Setup DRB IE" is only needed for a DRB if UL PDCP SDU scaling is needed. If there is no "LB Setup DRB IE" associated with a DRB in the CLOSE UE TEST LOOP message, then the same size of the PDCP SDU received in downlink is returned in uplink.
NOTE 3: The UL PDCP SDU size shall be byte aligned (i.e. multiple of 8 bits) according to TS 36.323 [18] clause 6.2.1 for E-UTRA Data Radio Bearers and TS 38.323 [19] clause 6.2.1 for NR Data Radio Bearers.

To report SS-RSRPB (0 to 126) per measured SSB, UE shall send 3 Octets, the First Octet reporting the Measured SSB ID (values 0 to 63 representing 6 bits X1 to X6 of Octet 1), Second Octet reporting SS-RSRPB for Branch#0 and third Octet reporting SS-RSRPB for Branch#1.

The values sent the SS as part of this test function maps to the values defined in Table 6.11.1-1.
For intra-band contiguous FR2 UL-CA scenarios where it is critical to prevent drop of the secondary component carrier(s) due to prioritization rules in section 7.5 of TS 38.213, a parameter Xmax,f,PCell is defined for the Pcell such that
Xmax, PCell = 10 log10(total aggregated BW/PCell BW)
Xmax,i,PCell is the back-off in transmit power applied on the primary component carrier from PCMAX,f,c. This ensure sufficient power allocation is possible on the secondary component carrier(s)
This message is only sent in the direction SS to UE.
