6.4A.2 Transmit modulation quality for CA
38.521-23GPPNRPart 2: Range 2 StandaloneRadio transmission and receptionRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) conformance specification
6.4A.2.0 General
For intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation, the requirements in subclauses 6.4A.2.1.0, 6.4A.2.2.0, and 6.4A.2.3.0.
All the parameters defined in subclause 6.4A.2 are defined using the measurement methodology specified in Annex E.
All the requirements in 6.4A.2 are defined as directional requirement. The requirements are verified in beam locked mode on beam peak direction, with both UL polarizations active.
In case the parameter 3300 or 3301 is reported from UE via txDirectCurrentLocation IE (as defined in TS 38.331 [19]), carrier leakage measurement requirement in subclause 6.4A.2.2.0 and 6.4A.2.3.0 shall be waived, and the RF correction with regard to the carrier leakage and IQ image shall be omitted during the calculation of transmit modulation quality.
The UE is defined to be configured for CA operation when it has at least one of UL or DL configured for CA.
6.4A.2.1 Error vector magnitude for CA
Editor’s note: This test is incomplete due to lack of RRC framework for LO position retrieval.
6.4A.2.1.0 Minimum conformance requirements
The requirements in this subclause apply to UEs of all power classes. For intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation, the Error Vector Magnitude requirement of section 6.4.2.1 is defined for each component carrier. Requirements only apply with PRB allocation in one of the component carriers. Similar transmitter impairment removal procedures are applied for CA waveform before EVM calculation as is specified for non-CA waveform.
6.4A.2.1.1 Error vector magnitude 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 Tolerance are FFS.
6.4A.2.1.1.1 Test Purpose
For 2UL carrier aggregation, the Error Vector Magnitude requirement should be defined for each component carrier. Requirement applies for the allocated component carrier, when all other component carriers are activated, but not allocated.
Similar transmitter impairment removal procedures are applied for CA waveform before EVM calculation as is specified for non-CA waveform in section 6.4.2.1.
6.4A.2.1.1.2 Test applicability
This test case applies to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward that supports FR2 2UL CA.
6.4A.2.1.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements
The minimum conformance requirements are defined in clause 6.4A.2.1.0
6.4A.2.1.1.4 Test description
6.4A.2.1.1.4.1 Initial conditions
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.

6.4A.2.1.4 Error Vector magnitude for CA (5UL CA)
Editor’s note: This clause is incomplete. The following aspects are either missing or not yet determined:
- Measurement Uncertainty and Test Tolerance are FFS.
6.4A.2.1.4.1 Test Purpose
For 5UL carrier aggregation, the Error Vector Magnitude requirement should be defined for each component carrier. Requirement applies for the allocated component carrier, when all other component carriers are activated, but not allocated.
Similar transmitter impairment removal procedures are applied for CA waveform before EVM calculation as is specified for non-CA waveform in clause 6.4.2.1.
6.4A.2.1.4.2 Test applicability
This test case applies to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward that supports FR2 5UL CA.
6.4A.2.1.4.3 Minimum conformance requirements
The minimum conformance requirements are defined in clause 6.4A.2.1.0
6.4A.2.1.4.4 Test description
Same as in clause 6.4A.2.1.1.4 with following exceptions:
– Instead of Table 6.4A.2.1.1.4.1-1 🡪 use Table 6.4A.2.1.4.4-1.
– Instead of Table 6.4A.2.1.1.5-1 🡪 use Table 6.4A.2.1.4.5-1.

6.4A.2.1.6 Error vector magnitude for CA (7UL CA)
Editor’s note: This clause is incomplete. The following aspects are either missing or not yet determined:
- Measurement Uncertainty and Test Tolerance are FFS.
6.4A.2.1.6.1 Test Purpose
For 7UL carrier aggregation, the Error Vector Magnitude requirement should be defined for each component carrier. Requirement applies for the allocated component carrier, when all other component carriers are activated, but not allocated.
Similar transmitter impairment removal procedures are applied for CA waveform before EVM calculation as is specified for non-CA waveform in sub-section 6.4.2.1.
6.4A.2.1.6.2 Test applicability
This test case applies to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward that supports FR2 7UL CA.
6.4A.2.1.6.3 Minimum conformance requirements
The minimum conformance requirements are defined in clause 6.4A.2.1.0
6.4A.2.1.6.4 Test description
Same as in clause 6.4A.2.1.1.4 with following exceptions:
– Instead of Table 6.4A.2.1.1.4.1-1 🡪 use Table 6.4A.2.1.6.4-1.
– Instead of Table 6.4A.2.1.1.5-1 🡪 use Table 6.4A.2.1.6.5-1.

6.4A.2.2 Carrier leakage for CA
Editor’s note: This test is incomplete due to lack of RRC framework for LO position retrieval.
6.4A.2.2.0 Minimum conformance requirements
6.4A.2.2.0.1 General
Carrier leakage is an additive sinusoid waveform. The carrier leakage requirement is defined for each component carrier and is measured on the component carrier with PRBs allocated. The measurement interval is one slot in the time domain.
Note: When UE has DL configured for non-contiguous CA, carrier leakage may land outside the spectrum occupied by all configured UL and DL CC.
The relative carrier leakage power is a power ratio of the additive sinusoid waveform and the modulated waveform. The requirement is verified with the test metric of Carrier Leakage (Link=TX beam peak direction, Meas=Link angle).
6.4A.2.2.0.2 Carrier leakage for power class 1
When carrier leakage is contained inside the spectrum occupied by all configured UL and DL CCs, the relative carrier leakage power shall not exceed the values specified in Table 6.4A.2.2.0.2-1 for power class 1 UEs.

6.4A.2.2.1 Carrier leakage for CA (2UL CA)
Editor’s note: This clause is incomplete. The following aspects are either missing or not yet determined:
– This test is incomplete due to lack of RRC framework for LO position retrieval.
- Power window is TBD for power class 1, 2 and 4.
- Measurement Uncertainties and Test Tolerances for intra-band contiguous CA is TBD.
6.4A.2.2.1.1 Test purpose

6.4A.2.2.1.4 Test description
6.4A.2.2.1.4.1 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, and CC combinations based on NR operating bands specified in clause 5.5A. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each CA configuration and subcarrier spacing, are shown in Table 6.4A.2.2.1.4.1-1. 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.

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 6.4A.2.2.1.4.1-1.
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 6.4A.2.2.1.4.3
6.4A.2.2.1.4.2 Test procedure
1. Retrieve the LO position from the parameter txDirectCurrentLocation in UplinkTxDirectCurrent IE.
2. Configure PCC and SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2 and Annex C.3.0 for all downlink physical channels.
3. 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 6.4A.2.2.1.4.3.
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 6.4A.2.2.1.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.
6. Set the UE in the Inband 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. Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE EIRPTotal = EIRPθ + EIRPφ measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as +MU to +(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level Preq, where:
– Preq is the power level specified in Table 6.4.2.2.4.2-1 according to the power class.
– MU is the test system uplink absolute power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.2-1 under carrier leakage sub-clause for the carrier frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW.
– Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 5 dB (UE power step tolerance) + (Test system uplink relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 5dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system uplink relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1.
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 TxRx.
9. Measure carrier leakage on PCC using Global In-Channel Tx-Test (Annex E) for the θ- and φ-polarization at the LO position obtained in step 1. For TDD, only slots consisting of only UL symbols are under test. Calculate CarrLeak = min(CarrLeakθ , CarrLeakφ).
10. 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: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no less than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F.4.2.

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: CA Configuration Test cumulative aggregated BW settings are checked separately for each CA Configuration, which applicable aggregated channel bandwidths are specified in Table 5.5A.1-1. NOTE 3: If the UE supports multiple CC Combinations in the CA Configuration with the same cumulative aggregated BW, only the combination with the lowest PCC ChBW is tested. NOTE 4: When the signalled DC carrier position is at Inner_Partial_Left for PC2, PC3, PC4, use Inner_Partial_Right for UL RB allocation. When the signalled DC carrier position is in Inner_Partial_Left_Region2 for PC1, use Inner_Partial_Right_Region2 for UL RB allocation. NOTE 5: 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 TS 38.508-1 [10]. NOTE 6: 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". |

Editor’s note: This test is incomplete due to lack of RRC framework for LO position retrieval
6.4A.2.3.0 Minimum conformance requirements
6.4A.2.3.0.1 General
Inband emission requirement is defined over the spectrum occupied by all configured UL and DL CCs. The measurement interval is as defined in section 6.4.2.4. The requirement is verified with the test metric of In-band emission (Link=TX beam peak direction, Meas=Link angle).
For intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation, the requirements in this clause apply with all component carriers active and with one single contiguous PRB allocation in one of uplink component carriers. The inband emission is defined as the interference falling into the non-allocated resource blocks for all component carriers.
6.4A.2.3.0.2 In-band emissions for power class 1
The relative in-band emission shall not exceed the values specified in Table 6.4A.2.3.0.2-1 for power class 1 UEs.

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 6.4A.2.3.1.4.1-1.
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 6.4A.2.3.1.4.3
6.4A.2.3.1.4.2 Test procedure
1. Retrieve the LO position from the parameter txDirectCurrentLocation in UplinkTxDirectCurrent IE.
2. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1 and C.3.0 for all downlink physical channels.
3. 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 6.4A.2.3.1.4.3.
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 6.4A.2.3.1.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.
6. Set the UE in the Inband 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 2) for the UE Tx beam selection to complete.
7. Send the appropriate TPC commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE until UE output power is Preq + PW ± PW, where Preq is the power level specified in Table 6.4A.2.3.1.4.2-1 according to the power class with power ID = 1. PW is the power window according to Table 6.4A.2.3.1.4.2-2 for the carrier frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW. Allow at least BEAM_SELECT_WAIT_TIME (NOTE 2) 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 TxRx.
9. Measure In-band emission IEθ, IEφ on PCC using Global In-Channel Tx-Test (Annex E) for the θ- and φ-polarizations, respectively. Measure power spectral density on the SCC. For TDD, only slots consisting of only UL symbols are under test. Calculate IE = IEθ + IEφ, where the calculation is based on linear power ratios.
10. SS deactivates the UE Beamlock Function (UBF) by performing the procedure as specified in TS 38.508-1 [10] clause 4.9.3.
11. Repeat steps 6 through 10 until In-band emissions have been measured for all power IDs in Table 6.4A.2.3.1.4.2-1.
NOTE 1: When switching to DFT-s-OFDM waveform, as specified in Table 6.4A.2.3.1.4.1-1, 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.

NOTE 3: Image frequencies for UL CA are specified in relation to either UL or DL carrier frequency. NOTE 4: The measurement bandwidth is 1 RB and the limit is expressed as a ratio of measured power in one non-allocated RB to the measured total power in all allocated RBs. NOTE 5: The applicable frequencies for this limit are those that are enclosed in the RBs containing the DC frequency, or in the two RBs immediately adjacent to the DC frequency but excluding any allocated RB. NOTE 6: is the Transmission Bandwidth for kth allocated component carrier (see Figure 5.3.1-1).

NOTE 1: An in-band emissions combined limit is evaluated in each non-allocated RB. For each such RB, the minimum requirement is calculated as the higher of (PRB – 25 dB) and the power sum of all limit values (General, IQ Image or Carrier leakage) that apply. PRB is defined in NOTE 9. NOTE 2: The measurement bandwidth is 1 RB and the limit is expressed as a ratio of measured power in one non-allocated RB to the measured average power per allocated RB, where the averaging is done across all allocated RBs. For Pi/2 BPSK with Spectrum Shaping, the limit is expressed as a ratio of measured power in one non-allocated RB to the measured power in the allocated RB with highest PSD. NOTE 3: Image frequencies for UL CA are specified in relation to either UL or DL carrier frequency. NOTE 4: The measurement bandwidth is 1 RB and the limit is expressed as a ratio of measured power in one non-allocated RB to the measured total power in all allocated RBs. NOTE 5: The applicable frequencies for this limit are those that are enclosed in the RBs containing the DC frequency, or in the two RBs immediately adjacent to the DC frequency but excluding any allocated RB. NOTE 6: LCRB is the Transmission Bandwidth for kth allocated component carrier (see Figure 5.3.1-1). NOTE 7: EVM is the limit for the modulation format used in the allocated RBs. NOTE 8: RB is the starting frequency offset between the allocated RB and the measured non-allocated RB (e.g. RB = 1 or RB = -1 for the first adjacent RB outside of the allocated bandwidth), and may take non-integer values when the carrier spacing between the CCs is not a multiple of RB. NOTE 9: PRB is the transmitted power per allocated RB, measured in dBm. NOTE 10: All powers are EIRP in beam peak direction. |

+TT6.4A.2.3.7 In-band emissions for CA (8UL CA)
Editor’s note: This clause is incomplete. The following aspects are either missing or not yet determined:
- The test procedure is incomplete due to that power window for CA is TBD
- Measurement Uncertainty and Test Tolerance are FFS.
- Testing of the general in-band emission requirement and if yes at which UE Tx power level and with which relaxation applied to the requirement is FFS.
- TP analysis is FFS
6.4A.2.3.7.1 Test purpose
The in-band emissions are a measure of the interference falling into the non-allocated resources blocks.
The purpose of this test is to exercise the UE transmitter to verify its modulation quality in terms of in-band emissions.
6.4A.2.3.7.2 Test applicability
This test case applies to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward that supports FR2 8UL CA.
6.4A.2.3.7.3 Minimum conformance requirements
The minimum conformance requirements are defined in clause 6.4A.2.3.0.
6.4A.2.3.7.4 Test description
