6.2A.2 UE maximum output power reduction for CA

38.521-23GPPNRPart 2: Range 2 StandaloneRadio transmission and receptionRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) conformance specification

6.2A.2.0 Minimum conformance requirements

6.2A.2.0.1 General

The UE is defined to be configured for CA operation when it has at least one of UL or DL configured for CA. In CA operation, the UE may reduce its maximum output power due to higher order modulations and transmit bandwidth configurations. This Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) is defined in subclauses below.

When the maximum output power of a UE is modified by MPR, the power limits specified in subclause 6.2A.4.0 apply.

The requirements in the following subclauses are only applicable to the following CA configurations:

– intra-band contiguous uplink CA, with the aggregated channel bandwidth up to 800 MHz.

– intra-band non-contiguous uplink CA with UL frequency separation no greater than 1400 MHz, and no more than 3 sub-blocks. A sub-block may consist of single CC or multiple contiguous CCs.

– In case the CA configuration consists of a single UL CC, MPR for contiguous UL CA applies and where necessary, BWchannel shall be used as BWchannel_CA.

6.2A.2.0.2 Maximum output power reduction for power class 1

For power class 1, MPR for intra-band contiguous UL CA with contiguous allocations within the cumulative aggregated bandwidth is defined as:

MPRC_CA = max(MPRWT_C_CA, MPRnarrow)

Where,

MPRnarrow = 14.4 dB, when BWalloc,RB is less than or equal to 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_C_CA is the maximum power reduction due to modulation orders, transmit bandwidth configurations, and waveform types. MPRWT_C_CA is defined in Table 6.2A.2.0.2-1.

In case of a contiguous RB, DFT-s-BPSK or DFT-s-QPSK UL allocation in a single CC of a CA configuration with contiguous CCs, and whose cumulative aggregated BW ≤ 400 MHz, MPRWT_C_CA shall be derived instead as MAX(MPR1, MPR2), where:

MPR1 shall be determined from Table 6.2.2.3.1-1 if CABW ≤ 200 MHz, from Table 6.2.2.3.1-2 if CABW > 200 MHz.

MPR2 shall be determined from Table 6.2.2.3.1-1 if UL BWchannel_CA ≤ 200 MHz, from Table 6.2.2.3.1-2 if UL BWchannel_CA > 200 MHz.

and assume all UL CCs use the same SCS for the purpose of determination of inner and outer RB allocations in Table 6.2.2.3.1-1 and Table 6.2.2.3.1-2:

NRB shall be chosen as the sum of NRB of all constituent UL CCs in the CA configuration.

LCRB shall be chosen as BWalloc,RB

RBstart shall be derived as: RBstart_allocatedCC+NRB_unallocatedCC_low

RBstart_allocatedCC is the index of the first allocated RB in the CC with allocation

NRB_unallocatedCC_low is the sum of NRB in all UL CCs lower in frequency compared to the CC with allocation

When different waveform types exist across CCs, the requirement is set by the waveform type used in the configuration with the largest MPRC_CA.

For intra-band contiguous UL CA with non-contiguous RB allocations, the following rule for MPR applies:

MPR = max(MPRC_CA, -10*A + [14.4])

Where:

A = NRB_alloc / NRB_agg_C.

NRB_alloc is the total number of allocated UL RBs

NRB_agg_C is the number of the aggregated RBs within the fully allocated cumulative aggregated channel bandwidth assuming lowest SCS among all configured CCs

For intra-band non-contiguous UL CA, the following rule for MPR applies:

MPR = max(MPRNC_CA, -10*A + 14.4)

Where:

MPRNC_CA is derived from table 6.2A.2.0.2-2

6.2A.2.0.5 Maximum output power reduction for power class 4

For power class 4, MPR specified in sub-clause 6.2A.2.0.4 applies.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-2 [3] clause 6.2A.2.

6.2A.2.1 UE maximum output power reduction for CA (2UL CA)

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

– The UPLF test mode is applicable to UEs Release 16 and forward.

– This test case is incomplete for Power classes 1, 2, 4 Release 15.

For a transition period until RAN#99, the stability and repeatability of test procedure with PHR (variant b) for Rel-15 UEs is under evaluation.

– Whether additional check is needed in the test procedure to ensure UE continues transmissions on the SCell is FFS

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

– Measurement Uncertainties and Test Tolerances for intra-band contiguous CA supporting aggregated BW > 400MHz and intra-band non-contiguous CA are TBD.

– The test points for higher bandwidth classes with testability problem need an update to decrease the UL bandwidth until they become testable.

– Test points with more than 3 DL CCs for PC1, 2, 4 are pending removal as already done for PC3

– Following aspects are pending RAN4

Minimum requirements for cumulative aggregated bandwidth >=800MHz are within brackets

6.2A.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).

6.2A.2.1.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward supporting 2UL CA.

6.2A.2.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-2 [3] clause 6.2A.2.0.

NOTE 2: PCC/CCi and SCC/CCj means PCC is on component carrier CCi and SCC is on component carrier CCj, with CCi or CCj frequencies defined in TS38.508-1 [10].

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 6.2A.2.1.4.1-1 to Table 6.2A.2.1.4.1-7.

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.2.1.4.3.

6.2A.2.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. Configure 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] subclause 5.5.1 Procedure to configure SCC(s) for NR RF CA testing. Message contents are defined in subclause 6.2A.2.1.4.3.

3. Apply the test step based on the 5G NR UE Release:

3a. For Release 16 and forward 5G NR UEs supporting the UPLF test mode: SS applies a backoff on the PCell power by activating the UE Power Limit Function (UPLF). The ACTIVATE POWER LIMIT REQUEST procedure is performed as specified in TS 38.508-1 [10] clause 4.9.32 using condition ‘NR FR2 2CA’. UE shall transmit ACTIVATE POWER LIMIT RESPONSE to SS. Go to step 4.

3b. For Release 15 5G NR UEs: No action.

3c. For testing single CC MPR requirement: No action.

4. 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).

5. 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.2.1.4.1-1 to Table 6.2A.2.1.4.1-7. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

6. 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.

7. Apply the test step based on the 5G NR UE Release:

7a. For Release 16 and forward 5G NR UEs: 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.

7b. For Release 15 5G NR UEs: Send uplink power control commands in uplink scheduling information to the UE per UL CC until the Power Headroom Report (PHR) from the UE for each UL CC is at the target value according to Table 6.2A.2.1.4.2-1; allow at least 200 ms for the UE to reach maximum output power. Allow at least BEAM_SELECT_WAIT_TIME (NOTE 1) for the UE Tx beam selection to complete.

Note 1: The BW ratio is the ratio of BW of the CC over the total Aggregated UL BW

Note 2: Xmax = 10log(BW ratio)

Note 3: ΔPHR is the worst case UE output power decrease due to Xmax and 1 dB reporting granularity of PHR according to TS38.133 [25].

7c. For testing single CC MPR requirement: 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.

8. 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.

9. Measure UE EIRP in the Tx beam peak direction in the accumulative aggregated channel bandwidth of the radio access mode according to the test configuration, which shall meet the requirements described in 6.2A.2.1.5. 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.

10. Apply the test step based on the 5G NR UE Release:

10a. For Release 16 and forward 5G NR UEs supporting the UPLF test mode: SS deactivates the UE Power Limit Function (UPLF) by performing the DEACTIVATE POWER LIMIT REQUEST procedure as specified in TS 38.508-1 [10] clause 4.9.33.

10b. For Release 15 5G NR UEs: No action.

10c. For testing single CC MPR requirement: No action.

11. 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 6.2A.2.1.4.1-1 to Table 6.2A.2.1.4.1-7, 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.
