6.1 General
38.521-33GPPNRPart 3: Range 1 and Range 2 Interworking operation with other radiosRadio transmission and receptionRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) conformance specification
Editor’s note: Test configurations/environments that require new spherical scan shall be included in test procedure clause and identifying such scenarios is currently FFS and owned by RAN5.
Unless otherwise stated the transmitter, characteristics are specified at the antenna connector(s) of the UE for the bands operating on frequency range 1 and over the air of the UE for the bands operating on frequency range 2. The requirements for frequency range 1 and frequency range 2 can be verified separately. For the carrier in frequency range 1, requirements can be verified with NR FR2 link disabled. For the carrier in frequency range 2, requirements can be verified in OTA mode with E-UTRA connecting to the network by OTA without calibration.
For NR FR2 Tx test cases the identified beam peak direction can be stored and reused for a device under test in various configurations/environments for the full duration of device testing as long as beam peak direction is the same.
Unless otherwise stated, requirements for NR transmitter written in TS 38.521-1 [8] and TS 38.521-2 [9] apply and are assumed anchor agnostic. Requirements are verified under conditions where anchor resources do not interfere NR operation. For Rel-15, unless otherwise stated, if UE indicates IE maxNumberSRS-Ports-PerResource = n2 in NR standalone operation mode, the said UE shall meet the NR requirements for either power class 2 or power class 3 in EN-DC within FR1 if UE indicates IE maxNumberSRS-Ports-PerResource = n1 for EN-DC on this NR band. For Rel-16 and forward, if UE indicates IE powerClassNRPart-r16 as defined in TS 38.331 [18] in EN-DC, UE shall meet NR requirements according to this power class.
Unless otherwise stated, Channel Bandwidth shall be prioritized in the selecting of test points. Subcarrier spacing shall be selected after Test Channel Bandwidth is selected.
For conformance testing involving FR2 test cases in this specification, the UE under test shall be pre-configured with UL Tx diversity schemes disabled to account for single polarization System Simulator (SS) in the test environment. The UE under test may transmit with dual polarization.
Uplink RB allocations for FR1 NR carrier given in TS 38.521-1 [8] Table 6.1-1 are used throughout this clause, unless otherwise stated by the test case.
Uplink RB allocations for FR2 NR carrier given in TS 38.521-2 [9] Table 6.1-1 are used throughout this clause, unless otherwise stated by the test case.
Uplink RB allocations for E-UTRA carrier and E-UTRA intra-band contiguous CA (2CC) given in Table 6.1-1 and Table 6.1-2 respectively are used throughout this clause, unless otherwise stated by the test case.
