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.1.5.0, 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.

6. Identify the EIRP dBm value corresponding to %-tile (UE power class dependent) value in the applicable test requirement table in section 6.2D.1.2.5.

7. If UE supports ULFPTx, repeat test steps 1~6 with UL RMC according to Table 6.2D.1.2.4.1-2. The PDCCH DCI format 0_1 is specified with the condition ULFPTx_Mode1, ULFPTx_Mode2 or ULFPTx_ModeFull in 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.3.6.1.1.2 depending on UE reported capability. Message contents are according to TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 4.6.3 Table 4.6.3-118 with condition TRANSFORM_PRECODER_ENABLED.

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

6.2D.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 P_UMAX 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.

7. If UE supports ULFPTx, repeat test steps 1~6 with UL RMC according to Table 6.2D.2.4.1-7 through Table 6.2D.2.4.1-12. The PDCCH DCI format 0_1 is specified with the condition ULFPTx_Mode1, ULFPTx_Mode2 or ULFPTx_ModeFull in 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.3.6.1.1.2 depending on UE reported capability.

6.2D.4 Configured transmitted power for UL MIMO

6.2D.4.1 Test purpose

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

6.2D.4.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test are covered in test cases 6.2D.1 UE Maximum output power for UL MIMO, 6.2D.2 UE maximum output power reduction for UL MIMO and 6.2D.3 UE Maximum output power with additional requirements for UL MIMO to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward that supports UL MIMO.

6.2D.4.3 Minimum conformance requirements

For UEs configured for 2-layer transmission as well as UEs configured for single layer uplink full power transmission (ULFPTx), the configured maximum output power P_CMAX,c for serving cell c is defined as sum of all streams and is bound by limits set in section 6.2.4.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-2 [3] clause 6.2D.4.

6.2D.4.4 Test description

This test is covered by clause 6.2D.1 UE Maximum output power for UL MIMO, 6.2D.2 UE maximum output power reduction for UL MIMO and 6.2D.3 UE Maximum output power with additional requirements for UL MIMO.

6.2D.4.5 Test requirements

This test is covered by clause 6.2D.1 UE Maximum output power for UL MIMO, 6.2D.2 UE maximum output power reduction for UL MIMO and 6.2D.3 UE Maximum output power with additional requirements for UL MIMO.
