6.3A.1 Minimum output power for CA

6.3A.1.0 Minimum conformance requirements

For intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation, the minimum controlled output power of the UE is defined as the transmit power of the UE per component carrier, i.e., EIRP in the channel bandwidth of each component carrier for all transmit bandwidth configurations (resource blocks), when the power on both component carriers are set to a minimum value.

The minimum output power is defined as the mean power in at least one subframe (1ms).

The minimum output power shall not exceed the values specified in Table 6.3A.1.0-1 and 6.3.A.1.0-2 for each operating band supported. The minimum power is verified in beam locked mode with the test metric of EIRP (Link=TX beam peak direction, Meas=Link angle).

6.3A.1.1.4 Test description

6.3A.1.1.4.1 Initial condition

Initial conditions are a set of test configurations the UE needs to be tested in and the steps for the SS to take with the UE to reach the correct measurement state.

The initial test configurations consist of environmental conditions, test frequencies, test channel bandwidths and sub-carrier spacing based on NR CA configuration specified in clause 5.5A. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each CA configuration, and are shown in Table 6.3A.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.

Default Conditions
Test Environment as specified in TS 38.508-1 [10] subclause 4.1				Normal
Test Frequencies as specified in TS 38.508-1 [10] subclause 4.3.1.2.3 for different CA bandwidth classes.				Low and High range
Test CC combination setting as specified TS 38.508-1 [10] subclause 4.3.1.2.3 for the CA Configuration across bandwidth combination sets supported by the UE.				Lowest aggregated BW of the CA configuration Highest aggregated BW of the CA configuration

1	PCC	Default	Default	–	DFT-s-OFDM QPSK	Outer_Full
	SCC				DFT-s-OFDM QPSK	Outer_Full
NOTE 1: The specific configuration of each RB allocation is defined in Table 6.1-1 for PC2, PC3 and PC4 or Table 6.1-2 for PC1. NOTE 2: Number of DL CCs shall be configured the same as number of UL CCs. The requirements are appliable as per 5.3A.4: “The requirements are applicable only when Uplink CCs are configured within the frequency range between lower edge of lowest downlink component carrier and upper edge of highest downlink component carrier”.

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] clause 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 Channel is set according to Table 6.3A.1.1.4.1-1.

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 6.3A.1.1.4.3.

6.3A.1.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1, 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. Message contents are defined in clause 6.3A.1.1.4.3

3. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321 [28], clauses 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 38.133[25], clause 9.2).

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 6.3A.1.1.4.1-1 on both PCC and SCC. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

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 "down" commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE; allow at least 200ms starting from the first TPC command in this step to ensure that the UE transmits at its minimum output power. If UE is disconnected, repeat the test case. Optionally, send continuously uplink power control “down” commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE until the UE EIRP measured by the test system is at a level just before the UE was disconnected. Allow at least BEAM_SELECT_WAIT_TIME (NOTE 1) for the UE Tx beam selection to complete.

7. 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.

8. Measure UE EIRP of each component carrier in the Tx beam peak direction in the measurement bandwidth specified in Table 6.3A.1.1.5-1 for the specific channel bandwidth under test. EIRP test procedure is defined in Annex K. The measuring duration is at least one active uplink subframe. EIRP is calculated considering both polarizations, theta and phi. For TDD slots with transient periods are not under test.

9. 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_SELEECT_WAIT_TIME default value is defined in Annex K.1.1.

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 6.3A.3.1.1.4.1-1.

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 6.3A.3.1.1.4.3.

6.3A.3.1.1.4.2 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 6.3A.3.1.1.4.3.

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

3a. For Release 16 and forward 5G NR UEs: SS applies a backoff on the PCell powerby 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: Test Procedure updates to keep SCell active are FFS. Skip remaining steps.

4. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321 [28], 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 6.3A.3.1.1.4.1-1. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. The UL assignment is such that the UE transmits on slot 37 for 60kHz SCS and on slot 74 for 120kHz SCS.

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. 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.

8. For UE transmission OFF power, measure UE EIRP in the Tx beam peak direction for each component carrier in the channel bandwidth of the radio access mode according to the test configuration, which shall meet the requirements described in Table 6.3A.3.1.1.5-1. EIRP test procedure is defined in Annex K. The period of the measurement shall be the slot prior to the PUSCH transmission, excluding a transient period of 5 µs in the end of the slot and any DL periods. EIRP is calculated considering both polarizations, theta and phi.

9. For UE transmission ON power, measure UE EIRP in the Tx beam peak direction for each component carrier in the channel bandwidth of the radio access mode according to the test configuration, which shall meet the requirements described in Table 6.3A.3.1.1.5-2. EIRP test procedure is defined in Annex K. The period of the measurement shall be one slot with PUSCH transmission. EIRP is calculated considering both polarizations, theta and phi.

For UE transmission OFF power, measure UE EIRP in the Tx beam peak direction for each component carrier in the channel bandwidth of the radio access mode according to the test configuration, which shall meet the requirements described in Table 6.3A.3.1.1.5-1. EIRP test procedure is defined in Annex K. The period of the measurement shall be the slot following the PUSCH transmission, excluding a transient period of 5 µs at the beginning of the slot and any DL periods. EIRP is calculated considering both polarizations, theta and phi.

11. 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.

12. 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 6.3A.3.1.1.4.1-1, 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.

6.3A.4 Power control for CA

6.3A.4.1 General

The requirements in this section apply to a UE when it has at least one of UL or DL configured for CA operation. The requirements on power control accuracy in CA operation apply under normal conditions and are defined as a directional requirement. The requirements are verified in beam locked mode on beam peak direction. The requirements apply for one single PUCCH, PUSCH or SRS transmission of contiguous PRB allocation per configured UL CC with power setting in accordance with Clause 7.1 of TS 38.213 [22].

6.3A.4.2 Absolute power tolerance for CA

6.3A.4.2.0 Minimum conformance requirements

The absolute power tolerance is the ability of the UE transmitter to set its initial output power to a specific value for the first sub-frame at the start of a contiguous transmission or non-contiguous transmission with a transmission gap on each active component carriers larger than 20 ms. For SRS switching, the absolute power tolerance is the ability of the UE transmitter to set its initial output power to a specific value for the first sub-frame at the start of a contiguous transmission or non-contiguous transmission with a transmission gap on component carriers (to which SRS switching occurs) larger than 20 ms. The requirement can be tested by time aligning any transmission gaps on the component carriers. For intra-band contiguous CA, the absolute power control tolerance per configured UL CC is given in Tables 6.3.4.2.3-1 and 6.3.4.2.3-2.

6.3A.4.2.1 Absolute power tolerance for CA (2UL CA)

Editor’s note: This clause is incomplete. The following aspects are either missing or not yet determined:

Measurement Uncertainty and Test Tolerances are FFS.
TP analysis is FFS.
UE transmitted power for PC 1, 2 and 4 are FFS
The UPLF test mode is applicable to UEs Release 16 and forward. This test case is incomplete for Release 15 until UE PHR method is used to prevent SCell drop.

6.3A.4.2.1.1 Test purpose

To verify the UE’s ability to transmit with a broadband output power below the value specified in the test requirement when the power is set to a minimum value.

To verify the ability of the UE transmitter to set its initial output power to a specific value at the start of a contiguous transmission or non-contiguous transmission with a long transmission gap, i.e. transmission gap is larger than 20 ms.

6.3A.4.2.1.2 Test applicability

This test case applies to all types of NR UE release 16 and forward that supports FR2 2UL CA.

6.3A.4.2.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements

The minimum conformance requirements are defined in clause 6.3A.4.2.0.

The requirements are appliable as per 5.3A.4: "The requirements are applicable only when Uplink CCs are configured within the frequency range between lower edge of lowest downlink component carrier and upper edge of highest downlink component carrier".

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] clause 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 Channel is set according to Table 6.3A.4.4.1.4.1-1.

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

6.3A.4.4.1.4.2 Test procedure

The procedure is only to verify PUSCH aggregate power control tolerance. The uplink transmission patterns are described in Figure 6.3.4.4.4.2-1.

1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2, and C.3 for all downlink physical channels.

2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 38.508-1 [10] clause 5.5.1. Message contents are defined in clause 6.3A.4.4.1.4.3.

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

3b. For Release 15 5G NR UEs: Test Procedure updates to keep SCell active are FFS. Skip remaining steps.

4. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321 [28], clause 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 38.133 [25], clause 9.2).

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. The SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the PUSCH on PCC and SCC according to Table 6.3A.4.4.1.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. Send uplink power control commands for PUSCH to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within P_W of the target power level specified in Table 6.3.4.4.4.2-1 according to the power class with power ID = 1. P_W is the power window according to Table 6.3.4.4.4.2-2 for the carrier frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW. Allow at least BEAM_SELECT_WAIT_TIME (NOTE 1) for the UE Tx beam selection to complete.

7. 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.

8. Every 10 sub-frames (10ms) schedule the UE’s PUSCH data transmission for 1 sub-frame (1ms) and transmit 0 dB TPC command for PUSCH via the PDCCH to make the UE transmit PUSCH. The uplink transmission patterns are described in Figure 6.3.4.4.4.2-1.

9. Measure the UE EIRP of 3 consecutive PUSCH transmissions on each component carrier in the Tx beam peak direction of in the measurement bandwidth specified in Table 6.3A.1.1.5-1 and Table 6.3A.1.1.5-2 to verify the UE transmitted PUSCH power is maintained within 21ms. EIRP test procedure is defined in Annex K. EIRP is calculated considering both polarizations, theta and phi. For TDD slots with transient periods are not under test.

10. 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.

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

12. Repeat test step 4 to 11 for measurement for power ID = 2 in Table 6.3.4.4.4.2-1.

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

6.3A.4.4.1.4.3 Message contents
