All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each channel bandwidth and subcarrier spacing, are shown in Table 6.2A.1.1.1.4.1-1. The details of the uplink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annexes A.2. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2.

4. 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 6.2A.1.1.1.4.1-1. 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 6.2A.1.1.1.4.3.
5. 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.
6. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE; allow at least 200 msec starting from the first TPC command in this step 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.

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 for PCC 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 6.2A.1.2.1.4.1-1.
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 6.2A.1.2.1.4.3
6.2A.1.2.1.4.2 Test procedure
1. Configure PCC and SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2 and Annex C.3.0 for all downlink physical channels.
2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 38.508-1 [10] clause 5.5.1 Procedure to configure SCC(s) for NR RF CA testing. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2A.1.2.1.4.3.
3. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321, clauses 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 38.133[25], clause 9.3).
4. 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 6.2A.1.2.1.4.1-1. 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 6.2A.1.2.1.4.3.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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:
7a 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;
7b 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:
7b.1) DUT uses downlink reference signals to select proper RX beam and uses autonomous beam correspondence to select the TX beam.
7b.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’.
7b.3) Based on the TX beam autonomously selected by DUT, DUT chooses TX beams to transmit SRS-resources configured by SS.
7b.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.
7b.5) DUT transmits PUSCH corresponding to the SRS resource indicated by the SRI.
8. Measure UE EIRP value for each grid point according to the EIRP spherical coverage procedure defined in Annex K.1.5.0, 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.
9. Identify the EIRP dBm value corresponding to %-tile (UE power class dependent) value in the applicable test requirement table in section 6.2A.1.2.1.5..
NOTE 1: The BEAM_SELECT_WAIT_TIME default value is defined in Annex K.1.1.
6.2A.1.2.1.4.3 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.

6.2A.1.2.6 UE maximum output power – Spherical coverage for CA (7UL CA)
Editor’s note: This clause is incomplete. The following aspects are either missing or not yet determined:
- Test configuration table is TBD.
- Measurement Uncertainties and Test Tolerances for intra-band contiguous CA supporting aggregated BW > 400MHz is TBD.
- Measurement Uncertainties and Test Tolerances are FFS for power class 1, 2 and 4.
6.2A.1.2.6.1 Test purpose
To verify that the spatial coverage of the UE for CA in expected directions is acceptable.
6.2A.1.2.6.2 Test applicability
This test case applies to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward that supports FR2 7UL CA.
6.2A.1.2.6.3 Minimum conformance requirements
The minimum conformance requirements are defined in clause 6.2A.1.0.
