6.2.1.1 UE maximum output power – EIRP and TRP

Editor’s note: The following aspects are either missing or not yet determined:

– Measurement Uncertainties and Test Tolerances are FFS for power class 1, 2 and 4.

– The test case is incomplete for band n259.

6.2.1.1.1 Test purpose

To verify that the error of the UE maximum output power does not exceed the range prescribed by the specified nominal maximum output power and tolerance.

An excess maximum output power has the possibility to interfere to other channels or other systems. A small maximum output power decreases the coverage area.

6.2.1.1.2 Test applicability

This test case applies to all types of release 15 NR UEs and release 16 NR and forward UEs not supporting either CSI-RS based or SSB-based enhanced beam correspondence.

6.2.1.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements

6.2.1.1.3.1 UE maximum output power for power class 1

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 38.508-1 [10] subclause 4.4.3.

3. Downlink signals are initially set up according to Annex C, and uplink signals according to Annex G.

4. The UL Reference Measurement channels are set according to Table 6.2.1.2.4.1-1.

5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0.

6. Ensure the UE is in state RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR, Connected without release On, Test Mode On and Test Loop Function On according to TS 38.508-1 [10] clause 4.5. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2.1.2.4.3

6.2.1.2.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.2.1.2.4.1-1. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. Messages to configure the appropriate uplink modulation in section 6.2.1.2.4.3.

2. Set the UE in the Tx beam peak direction found with a 3D EIRP scan as performed in Annex K.1.1. Allow at least BEAM_SELECT_WAIT_TIME (NOTE 1) for the UE Tx beam selection to complete.

3. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE; allow at least 200 msec to ensure that the UE transmits at its maximum output power. Allow at least BEAM_SELECT_WAIT_TIME (NOTE 1) for the UE Tx beam selection to complete.

4. Through its beam correspondence procedure, DUT refines its TX beam toward that direction depending on DUT’s beam correspondence capability which shall match OEM declaration:

4a If the DUT’s beam correspondence capability beamCorrespondenceWithoutUL-BeamSweeping is supported, then DUT autonomously chooses the corresponding TX beam for PUSCH transmission using downlink reference signals to transmit in the direction of the incoming DL signal, which is based on beam correspondence without relying on UL beam sweeping;

4b If the DUT’s beam correspondence capability beamCorrespondenceWithoutUL-BeamSweeping is not present, then DUT chooses the TX beam for PUSCH transmission which is based on beam correspondence with relying on both DL measurements on downlink reference signals and network-assisted uplink beam sweeping:

4b.1) DUT uses downlink reference signals to select proper RX beam and uses autonomous beam correspondence to select the TX beam.

4b.2) SS configures M=8 SRS resources to DUT, with the field spatialRelationInfo omitted and the field usage set as ‘beamManagement’. In case DUT supports less than 8 SRS resources, SS configures the number of SRS resources according to the maximum number of SRS resources indicated by UE capability signalling. Additionally, for codebook based PUSCH transmission, SS configures a semi-persistent SRS resource set with the field usage as ‘codebook’.

4b.3) Based on the TX beam autonomously selected by DUT, DUT chooses TX beams to transmit SRS-resources configured by SS.

4b.4) Based on measurement of the received beamManagement SRS, SS chooses the best SRS beam and, if needed, updates the spatial relation information between the semi-persistent codebook SRS resources and the SS selected beamManagement SRS resource in the activation MAC CE of the semi-persistent SRS resource. The SS indicates in the SRS Resource Indicator (SRI) field in the scheduling grant for PUSCH, if present, the SRS resource within the semi-persistent SRS resource set whose spatial relation is linked to the best detected SRS beam.

4b.5) DUT transmits PUSCH corresponding to the SRS resource indicated by the SRI.

5. Measure UE EIRP value for each grid point according to the EIRP spherical coverage procedure defined in Annex K.1.5, and obtain a cumulative distribution function (CDF) of all EIRP dBm values. Alternatively, UE EIRP measurement for each grid point could be done according to Tx Fast spherical coverage procedure defined in Annex K.1.5.1. After a rotation, allow at least BEAM_SELECT_WAIT_TIME (NOTE 1) for UE to find the best beam to use. The measuring duration is one active uplink subframe. EIRP is calculated considering both polarizations, theta and phi.

6. Identify the EIRP dBm value corresponding to %-tile (UE power class dependent) value in the applicable test requirement table in section 6.2.1.2.5.

NOTE 1: The BEAM_SELECT_WAIT_TIME default value is defined in Annex K.1.1.

6.2.1.2.4.3 Message contents

Message contents are according to TS 38.508-1 [10] subclause 4.6 with TRANSFORM_PRECODER_ENABLED condition in Table 4.6.3-118 PUSCH-Config.

6.2.2 UE maximum output power reduction

Editor’s note: The following aspects are either missing or not yet determined:

  • Measurement Uncertainties and Test Tolerances are FFS for PC1, PC2 and PC4.
  • Measurement grid for PC2/4 in Annex M.4 is FFS.
  • Once test case 6.2.2_1 is available for certification, the test applicability needs an update to exclude Rel15 UE supporting modifiedMPR bit 0 and Rel16 and later UE.

6.2.2.0 General

The requirements in section 6.2.2 only apply when both UL and DL of a UE are configured for single CC operation, and they are of the same bandwidth. A UE may reduce its maximum output power due to modulation orders, transmit bandwidth configurations, waveform types and narrow allocations. This Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) is defined in subclauses below. The allowed MPR for SRS, PUCCH formats 0, 1, 3 and 4, and PRACH shall be as specified for QPSK modulated DFT-s-OFDM of equivalent RB allocation. The allowed MPR for PUCCH format 2 shall be as specified for QPSK modulated CP-OFDM of equivalent RB allocation. When the maximum output power of a UE is modified by MPR, the power limits specified in subclause 6.2.4 apply.

For a UE that is configured for single CC operation with different channel bandwidths in UL and DL, the requirements in section 6.2A.2 apply.

For all power classes, the waveform defined by BW = 100 MHz, SCS = 120 kHz, DFT-S-OFDM QPSK, 20RB23 is the reference waveform with 0 dB MPR and is used for the power class definition.

6.2.2.1 Test purpose

The number of RB identified in 6.2.2.3 is based on meeting the requirements for the maximum power reduction (MPR) due to Cubic Metric (CM).

6.2.2.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward.

6.2.2.3 Minimum conformance requirements

6.2.2.3.1 UE maximum output power reduction for power class 1

For power class 1, MPR for contiguous allocations is defined as:

MPR = max(MPRWT, MPRnarrow)

Where,

MPRnarrow = 14.4 dB, when BWalloc,RB ≤ 1.44 MHz, MPRnarrow = 10 dB, when 1.44 MHz < BWalloc,RB ≤ 10.8 MHz, where BWalloc,RB is the bandwidth of the RB allocation size.

MPRWT is the maximum power reduction due to modulation orders, transmission bandwidth configurations listed in Table 5.3.2-1, and waveform types. MPRWT is defined in Tables 6.2.2.3.1-1 and 6.2.2.3.1-2.

1. Connection between SS and UE is shown in TS 38.508-1 [10] Annex A, Figure A.3.3.1.1 for TE diagram and Figure A.3.4.1.1 for UE diagram.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 38.508-1 [10] subclause 4.4.3.

3. Downlink signals are initially set up according to Annex C, and uplink signals according to Annex G.

4. The UL Reference Measurement channels are set according to Table 6.2.2.4.1-1 to Table 6.2.2.4.1-9.

5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0

6. Ensure the UE is in state RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR, Connected without release On, Test Mode On and Test Loop Function On according to TS 38.508-1 [10] clause 4.5. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2.2.4.3.

6.2.2.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.2.2.4.1-1 to Table 6.2.2.4.1-9. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

2. Set the UE in the Tx beam peak direction found with a 3D EIRP scan as performed in Annex K.1.1. Allow at least BEAM_SELECT_WAIT_TIME (NOTE 1) for the UE Tx beam selection to complete.

3. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE; allow at least 200ms for the UE to reach PUMAX level. Allow at least BEAM_SELECT_WAIT_TIME (NOTE 1) for the UE Tx beam selection to complete.

4. SS activates the UE Beamlock Function (UBF) by performing the procedure as specified in TS 38.508-1 [10] clause 4.9.2 using condition Tx only.

5. Measure UE EIRP in the Tx beam peak direction in the channel bandwidth of the radio access mode according to the test configuration, which shall meet the requirements described in 6.2.2.5. EIRP test procedure is defined in Annex K.1.3. The measuring duration is one active uplink subframe. EIRP is calculated considering both polarizations, theta and phi.

6. SS deactivates the UE Beamlock Function (UBF) by performing the procedure as specified in TS 38.508-1 [10] clause 4.9.3.

NOTE 1: The BEAM_SELECT_WAIT_TIME default value is defined in Annex K.1.1.

NOTE 2: When switching to DFT-s-OFDM waveform, as specified in Table 6.2.2.4.1-1 to Table 6.2.2.4.1-9, send an NR RRCReconfiguration message according to TS 38.508-1 [10] clause 4.6.3 Table 4.6.3-118 PUSCH-Config with TRANSFORM_PRECODER_ENABLED condition.

6.2.2_1 UE maximum output power reduction enhancements

Editor’s note: The following aspects are either missing or not yet determined:

– Measurement Uncertainties and Test Tolerances are FFS for PC1, PC2 and PC4.

– Measurement grid for PC2/4 in Annex M.4 is FFS.

– Applicability of modifiedMPRbehaviour bit 0 to PC2, PC4 and PC5 is FFS

6.2.2_1.0 General

The requirements in section 6.2.2 only apply when both UL and DL of a UE are configured for single CC operation, and they are of the same bandwidth. A UE may reduce its maximum output power due to modulation orders, transmit bandwidth configurations, waveform types and narrow allocations. This Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) is defined in subclauses below. The allowed MPR for SRS, PUCCH formats 0, 1, 3 and 4, and PRACH shall be as specified for QPSK modulated DFT-s-OFDM of equivalent RB allocation. The allowed MPR for PUCCH format 2 shall be as specified for QPSK modulated CP-OFDM of equivalent RB allocation. When the maximum output power of a UE is modified by MPR, the power limits specified in subclause 6.2.4 apply.

For a UE that is configured for single CC operation with different channel bandwidths in UL and DL, the requirements in section 6.2A.2 apply.

For all power classes, the waveform defined by BW = 100 MHz, SCS = 120 kHz, DFT-S-OFDM QPSK, 20RB23 is the reference waveform with 0 dB MPR and is used for the power class definition.

6.2.2_1.1 Test purpose

The number of RB identified in 6.2.2.3 is based on meeting the requirements for the maximum power reduction (MPR) due to Cubic Metric (CM).

6.2.2_1.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply to all types of Rel-15 PC3 devices which supports modifiedMPRbehaviour bit 0 capability (according to Annex P.1) and Rel-16 and forward PC3 devices.

6.2.2_1.3 Minimum conformance requirements

6.2.2_1.3.1 FFS

6.2.2_1.3.2 FFS

6.2.2_1.3.3 UE maximum output power reduction for power class 3

For transmission bandwidth configuration less than or equal to 200MHz, and 0 ≤ RBstart < Ceil(1/3 NRB) or Ceil((2/3NRB) LCRB) < RBstart ≤ NRB-LCRB:

– MPRnarrow = 2.5 dB, when BWalloc,RB is less than or equal to 1.44 MHz,

– MPRnarrow = 2.0 dB, when 1.44 MHz < BWalloc,RB <= 4.32 MHz,

– otherwise MPRnarrow = 0 dB.

MPRWT is the maximum power reduction due to modulation orders, transmission bandwidth configurations listed in Table 5.3.2-1, and waveform types. MPRWT is defined in Table 6.2.2_1.3.3-1.

– RBStart,Low = max(1, LCRB), where max() indicates the largest value of all arguments.

– RBStart,High = NRB – RBStart,Low – LCRB,

An RB allocation belonging to table 6.2.2_1.3.3-1 is a Region 1 inner RB allocation if:

– RBStart,Low ≤ RBStart ≤ RBStart,High, and LCRB ≤ ceil(NRB/3), where ceil(x) is the smallest integer greater than or equal to x.

For transmission bandwidth configuration equal to 400MHz,

MPRnarrow = 2.5 dB, when BWalloc,RB is less than or equal to 1.44 MHz, and 0 ≤ RBstart < Ceil(1/3 NRB) or Ceil(2/3NRB) ≤ RBstart ≤ NRB-LCRB, where BWalloc,RB is the bandwidth of the RB allocation size.

MPRWT is the maximum power reduction due to modulation orders, transmission bandwidth configurations listed in Table 5.3.2-1, and waveform types. MPRWT is defined in Table 6.2.2_1.3.3-2.

6.2.3 UE maximum output power with additional requirements

Editor’s note: The following aspects are either missing or not yet determined:

  • Measurement Uncertainties and Test Tolerances are FFS for power class 1, 2 and 4.

6.2.3.1 Test purpose

Additional spectrum emission requirements can be signalled by the network to indicate that the UE shall also meet additional requirements in a specific deployment scenario. To meet these additional requirements, Additional Maximum Power Reduction (A-MPR) is allowed for the output power.

6.2.3.2 Test applicability

This test case applies to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward.

6.2.3.3 Minimum conformance requirements

6.2.3.3.1 General

Additional emission requirements can be signalled by the network. Each additional emission requirement is associated with a unique network signalling (NS) value indicated in RRC signalling by an NR frequency band number of the applicable operating band and an associated value in the field additionalSpectrumEmission. Throughout this specification, the notion of indication or signalling of an NS value refers to the corresponding indication of an NR frequency band number of the applicable operating band (the IE field freqBandIndicatorNR) and an associated value of additionalSpectrumEmission in the relevant RRC information elements.

To meet these additional requirements, additional maximum power reduction (A-MPR) is allowed for the maximum output power as specified in subclause 6.2.1.1.3. Unless stated otherwise, an A-MPR of 0 dB shall be used.

Table 6.2.3.3.1-1 specifies the additional requirements with their associated network signalling values and the allowed A-MPR and applicable operating band(s) for each NS value. The mapping of NR frequency band numbers and values of the additionalSpectrumEmission to network signalling labels is specified in Table 6.2.3.3.1-2. Unless otherwise stated, the allowed total back off is maximum of A-MPR and MPR specified in subclause 6.2.2.

6.2.4 Configured transmitted power

6.2.4.1 Test purpose

To verify the UE configured transmitted power PUMAX,f,c is within the range defined prescribed by the specified nominal maximum output power and tolerance.

6.2.4.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test are covered in test cases 6.2.1 Maximum output power, 6.2.2 Maximum output power reduction and 6.2.3 UE maximum output power with additional requirements to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward.

6.2.4.3 Minimum conformance requirements

The UE can configure its maximum output power. The configured UE maximum output power PCMAX,f,c for carrier f of a serving cell c is defined as that available to the reference point of a given transmitter branch that corresponds to the reference point of the higher-layer filtered RSRP measurement as specified in TS 38.215 [24].

The configured UE maximum output power PCMAX,f,c for carrier f of a serving cell c shall be set such that the corresponding measured peak EIRP PUMAX,f,c is within the following bounds

PPowerclass + DPIBE – MAX(MAX(MPRf,c, A- MPRf,c,) + ΔMBP,n, P-MPRf,c) – MAX{T(MAX(MPRf,c, A- MPRf,c,)), T(P-MPRf,c)} ≤ PUMAX,f,c ≤ EIRPmax

while the corresponding measured total radiated power PTMAX,f,c is bounded by

PTMAX,f,c ≤ TRPmax

with PPowerclass the UE minimum peak EIRP as specified in sub-clause 6.2.1.1.3, EIRPmax the applicable maximum EIRP as specified in sub-clause 6.2.1.1.3, MPRf,c as specified in sub-clause 6.2.2.3, A-MPRf,c as specified in sub-clause 6.2.3.3, ΔMBP,n the peak EIRP relaxation as specified in section 6.2.1.1.3 and TRPmax the maximum TRP for the UE power class as specified in sub-clause 6.2.1.1.3. DPIBE is 1.0 dB if UE declares support for mpr-PowerBoost-FR2-r16, UL transmission is QPSK, MPRf,c = 0 and when NS_200 applies and the network configures the UE to operate with mpr-PowerBoost-FR2-r16, otherwise DPIBE is 0.0 dB. The requirement is verified in beam peak direction.

maxUplinkDutyCycle-FR2 as defined in TS 38.306 [26] is a UEcapability to facilitate electromagnetic power density exposure requirements. This UE capability is applicable to all FR2 power classes.

If the field of UE capability maxUplinkDutyCycle-FR2 is present and the percentage of uplink symbols transmitted within any 1 s evaluation period is larger than maxUplinkDutyCycle-FR2, the UE follows the uplink scheduling and can apply P-MPRf,c.

If the field of UE capability maxUplinkDutyCycle-FR2 is absent, the compliance to electromagnetic power density exposure requirements are ensured by means of scaling down the power density or by other means.

P-MPRf,c is the power management maximum output power reduction. The UE shall apply P-MPRf,c for carrier f of serving cell c only for the cases described below. For UE conformance testing P-MPRf,c shall be 0 dB.

a) ensuring compliance with applicable electromagnetic power density exposure requirements and addressing unwanted emissions / self desense requirements in case of simultaneous transmissions on multiple RAT(s) for scenarios not in scope of 3GPP RAN specifications;

b) ensuring compliance with applicable electromagnetic power density exposure requirements in case of proximity detection is used to address such requirements that require a lower maximum output power.

NOTE 1: P-MPRf,c was introduced in the PCMAX,f,c equation such that the UE can report to the gNB the available maximum output transmit power. This information can be used by the gNB for scheduling decisions.

NOTE 2: P-MPRf,c and maxUplinkDutyCycle-FR2 may impact the maximum uplink performance for the selected UL transmission path.

NOTE 3: MPE P-MPR Reporting, as defined in TS 38.306 [26], is an optional UE capability to report P-MPRf,c when the reporting conditions configured by gNB are met. This UE capability is applicable to all FR2 power classes.

The tolerance T(∆P) for applicable values of ∆P (values in dB) is specified in Table 6.2.4.3-1.
