6.2B.2 UE Maximum Output Power reduction for EN-DC
38.521-33GPPNRPart 3: Range 1 and Range 2 Interworking operation with other radiosRadio transmission and receptionRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) conformance specification
6.2B.2.0 General
The UE maximum output power reduction (MPR) specified in this clause is applicable for UEs configured with EN-DC when NS_01 is indicated in the MCG and the SCG. The MPR applies subject to indication in the field modifiedMPRbehavior for the SCG [2].
6.2B.2.1 UE Maximum Output Power reduction for Intra-Band Contiguous EN-DC
6.2B.2.1.1 Test purpose
Same test purpose as in clause 6.2.2.1 in TS 38.521-1 [8] for the NR carrier.
6.2B.2.1.2 Test applicability
This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA power class 3 and power class 2 UE release 15 and forward, supporting intra-band contiguous EN-DC.
NOTE: Test execution is not necessary if clause 6.5B.2.1.3 ACLR is executed since MPR requirement is verified in this test case.
6.2B.2.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements
6.2B.2.1.3.1 General
When the UE is configured for intra-band contiguous EN-DC, the UE determines the total allowed maximum output power reduction as specified in this clause.
For UE supporting dynamic power sharing the following:
– for the MCG, MPRc in accordance with TS 36.101 [5]
– for the SCG,
MPR’c = MPRNR = MAX( MPRsingle,NR, MPRENDC)
– for the total configured transmission power,
MPRtot = PPowerClass,EN-DC – min(PPowerClass,EN-DC ,10*log10(10^((PPowerClass,E-UTRA – MPRE-UTRA)/10) + 10^((PPowerClass,NR – MPRNR)/10))
where
MPRE-UTRA = MAX(MPRsingle,E-UTRA, MPRENDC )
with
– MPRsingle, E-UTRAis the MPR defined for the E-UTRA transmission in TS 36.101 [5]
– MPRsingle,NR is the MPR defined for the NR transmission in TS 38.101-1 [2]
For UEs not supporting dynamic power sharing the following
– for the MCG,
MPRc = MAX(MPRsingle,E-UTRA, MPRENDC )
– for the SCG,
MPR’c = MAX( MPRsingle,NR, MPRENDC )
where
– MPRsingle,NR is the MPR defined for the NR transmission in TS 38.101-1 [2]
– MPRsingle,E-UTRA is the MPR defined for the E-UTRA transmission in TS 36.101 [5]
MPRENDC is defined in Clause 6.2B.2.1.3.2.
6.2B.2.1.3.2 MPR for power class 3 and power class 2
MPR in this subclause is applicable for power class 3 and power class 2 UEs indicating IE dualPA-Architecture supported with ENDC power class being the same as the E-UTRA and NR power class, otherwise the UE can use as much MPR as needed to fulfil emissions requirements when scheduled with dual uplink transmission. For UEs scheduled with single uplink transmission, MPR in subclause 6.2.4 of TS 36.101 [5] and 6.2.2 of TS 38.101-1 [2] apply. For a UE supporting dynamic power sharing for DC_(n)71AA for which dual simultaneous uplink transmissions are mandatory and A-MPR defined in subclause 6.2B.3.1.1 is applied as MPR. The allowed maximum output power reduction for IM3 related emissions applied to transmission on the MCG and the SCG is defined as follows:
MPRENDC = MA
Where MA is defined as follows
MA = 15; 0 ≤ B < 0.5
10; 0.5 ≤ B < 1.0
8; 1.0 ≤ B < 2.0
6; 2.0 < B
Where:
For UEs supporting dynamic power sharing,
B = (LCRB_alloc, E-UTRA * 12* SCSE-UTRA + LCRB_alloc,NR * 12 * SCSNR)/1,000,000
For UEs not supporting dynamic power sharing,
For E-UTRA
B = (LCRB_alloc, E-UTRA * 12* SCSE-UTRA + 12 * SCSNR)/1,000,000
Where SCSNR = 15 kHz is assumed in calculation of B.
For NR
B = (12* SCSE-UTRA + LCRB_alloc,NR * 12 * SCSNR)/1,000,000
Where SCSE-UTRA = 15 kHz is assumed in calculation of B.
and MA is reduced by 1 dB for B < 2.
The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-3 [4] clause 6.2B.2.1.
Exception requirements for both NR and E-UTRA are defined for this test when transmission on E-UTRA doesn’t overlap in time with NR. LTE anchor agnostic approach is not applied for this case. E-UTRA test point analysis is included and E-UTRA measurements are performed.
No exception requirements for NR or E-UTRA are defined for this test when transmission on E-UTRA doesn’t overlap in time with NR, for a UE that supports dynamic power sharing. LTE anchor agnostic approach is not applied for this case based on the test point analysis in TS 38.905 [7].
6.2B.2.1.4 Test description
6.2B.2.1.4.1 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.
The initial test configurations consist of environmental conditions, test frequencies and test channel bandwidths based on NR operating bands specified in clause 5.3B.1.2, channel bandwidths and sub-carrier spacings for the NR cell specified in TS 38.521-1 [8] clause 5.3 and channel bandwidth for the E-UTRA cell are specified in TS 36.521-1 [10] clause 5.4.2. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each EN-DC combination of test channel bandwidth and sub-carrier spacing, and are shown in table 6.4B.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 TS 36.521.1 [10] Annex C.2 and in TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex C.2 for E-UTRA CG and NR CG respectively.

NOTE 1: The specific configuration of each RB allocation is defined in Table 6.1-1 in TS 38.521-1 [8]. NOTE 2: If the UE supports multiple CC combinations in the EN-DC configuration with the same NRB_agg, select the combination to test as follows: – Lowest ENBW: NR component with lowest NRB is tested. – Highest ENBW: NR component with highest NRB is tested. NOTE 3: Applicable when E-UTRA cell carrier frequency is lower than NR cell carrier. NOTE 4: Applicable when NR cell carrier frequency is lower than E-UTRA cell carrier. NOTE 5: Outer_Full defined as the transmission bandwidth configuration NRB per channel bandwidth for the E-UTRA component as indicated in TS 36.521 [10] Table 5.4.2-1. Outer_1RB_Left defined as 1 RB allocated at the left edge of the E-UTRA component. Edge_Full_Right is defined as 2 RBs allocated at the right edge of the E-UTRA component. Outer_1RB_Right defined as 1 RB allocated at the right edge of the E-UTRA component. NOTE 6: DFT-s-OFDM Pi/2 BPSK test applies only for UEs which supports Pi/2 BPSK in FR1 NOTE 7: Test IDs with simultaneous E-UTRA and NR UL transmission only apply for UEs indicating dualPA-Architecture. NOTE 8: Power config as specified in Table 6.2B.2.1.4.3-3 and Table 6.2B.2.1.4.3-4 for PC3 UE or Table 6.2B.2.1.4.3-5 and Table 6.2B.2.1.4.3-6 for PC2 UE. NOTE 9: Test IDs with simultaneous E-UTRA and NR UL transmission don’t apply to DC_(n)71AA for a UE supporting dynamic power sharing (A-MPR is applied as MPR and covered by 6.2B.3.1.1). |
|||||||||
1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 38.508-1 [6] Annex A, Figure A.3.1.1 for TE diagram and clause A.3.2.1 for UE diagram.
2. The parameter settings for the E-UTRA cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [11] clause 4.4.3, and the parameter settings for the NR cell are set up according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.4.3.
3. Downlink signals are initially set up according to TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex C.0 and TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex C.0 for E-UTRA CG and NR CG respectively, and uplink signals according to TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex H and TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex G for E-UTRA CG and NR CG respectively.
4. NR downlink signals are initially set up according to Annex C.0, C.1, and C.2 and uplink signals according to Annex G.0, G.1, G.2, and G.3.0 of TS 38.521-1 [8].
5. The UL Reference Measurement channels are TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex A.2 and TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex A.2 for E-UTRA CG and NR CG respectively.
6. Propagation conditions are set according to TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex B.0 and TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex B.0 for E-UTRA CG and NR CG respectively.
7. Ensure the UE is in state RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity EN-DC, DC bearer MCG and SCG, Connected without release On according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.5. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2B.2.1.4.3.
8. For the case of testing overlapping E-UTRA and NR UL transmission scenario when both bands are TDD, ensure E-UTRA UL transmission overlaps with NR UL transmission in time by giving SCG a delay of 3 E-UTRA subframes, or by giving MCG a delay of 2 subframes.
6.2B.2.1.4.2 Test procedure
1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 and DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.2B.2.1.4.1-1 on E-UTRA CC and NR CC respectively. For test points configured with message in Table 6.2B.2.1.4.3-7, NR SS only schedules UL RMC on NR slots that does not overlap with E-UTRA uplink subframe. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.
2. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands to the UE for NR and E-UTRA carrier until the UE transmits at its PUMAX level; allow at least 200 ms from the first TPC command starting in this step for the UE to reach PUMAX level.
3. For a UE supporting dynamic power sharing, measure the mean power over all component carriers. For a UE not supporting dynamic power sharing, measure the power of each component carrier individually. For the tested EN-DC configuration, the requirements described in clause 6.2B.2.1.5 shall be met. The period of the measurement shall be at least the continuous duration of one active sub-frame (1ms). For TDD slots with transient periods are not under test.
4. For UEs supporting Power Class 2, repeat steps 1~3 for Test ID 25 and 45 in Table 6.2B.2.1.4.1-1 on the applicable bands with message exception defined in Table 6.2B.2.1.4.3-7.
NOTE 1: When switching to DFT-s-OFDM waveform, as specified in the test configuration table 6.2B.2.1.4.1-1, send an NR RRCReconfiguration message according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.6.3 Table 4.6.3-118 PUSCH-Config with TRANSFORM_PRECODER_ENABLED condition.

6.2B.2.2 UE Maximum Output Power reduction for Intra-Band Non-Contiguous EN-DC
6.2B.2.2.1 Test purpose
Same test purpose as in clause 6.2B.2.1.1.
6.2B.2.2.2 Test applicability
This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 15 and forward, supporting intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC.
NOTE: Test execution is not necessary if clause 6.5B.2.2.3 ACLR is executed since MPR requirement is verified in this test case.
6.2B.2.2.3 Minimum conformance requirements
6.2B.2.2.3.1 General
When the UE is configured for intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC, the UE determines the total allowed maximum output power reduction as specified in this subclause.
For UE supporting dynamic power sharing the following:
– for the MCG, MPRc in accordance with TS 36.101 [4]
– for the SCG,
MPR’c = MPRNR = MAX( MPRsingle,NR, MPRENDC)
– for the total configured transmission power,
MPRtot = PPowerClass,EN-DC – min(PPowerClass,EN-DC ,10*log10(10^((PPowerClass,E-UTRA – MPRE-UTRA)/10) + 10^((PPowerClass,NR – MPRNR)/10))
where
MPRE-UTRA = MAX(MPRsingle,E-UTRA, MPRENDC )
with
– MPRsingle, E-UTRAis the MPR defined for the E-UTRA transmission in TS 36.101 [4]
– MPRsingle,NR is the MPR defined for the NR transmission in TS 38.101-1 [2]
For UEs not supporting dynamic power sharing the following
– for the MCG,
MPRc = MAX(MPRsingle,E-UTRA, MPRENDC )
– for the SCG,
MPR’c = MAX( MPRsingle,NR, MPRENDC )
where
– MPRsingle,NR is the MPR defined for the NR transmission in TS 38.101-1 [2]
– MPRsingle,E-UTRA is the MPR defined for the E-UTRA transmission in TS 36.101 [4]
MPRENDC is defined in Clause 6.2B.2.2.3.2.
6.2B.2.2.3.2 MPR for power class 3 and power class 2
MPR in this subclause is applicable for power class 3 and power class 2 UEs indicating IE dualPA-Architecture supported with ENDC power class being the same as the E-UTRA and NR power class, otherwise the UE can use as much MPR as needed to fulfil emissions requirements when scheduled with dual uplink transmission. For UEs scheduled with single uplink transmission, MPR in subclause 6.2.4 of TS 36.101 [5] and 6.2.3 of TS 38.101-1 [2] apply. The allowed maximum output power reduction for IM3 related emissions applied to transmission on the MCG and the SCG is defined as follows:
MPRENDC = MA
Where MA is defined as follows
MA = 18 ; 0 ≤ B < 1.0
17 ; 1.0 ≤ B < 2.0
16 ; 2.0 ≤ B < 5.0
15 ; 5.0 ≤ B
Where:
For UEs supporting dynamic power sharing,
B = (LCRB_alloc, E-UTRA * 12* SCSE-UTRA + LCRB_alloc,NR * 12 * SCSNR)/1,000.000
For UEs not supporting dynamic power sharing,
For E-UTRA
B= (LCRB_alloc, E-UTRA * 12* SCSE-UTRA + 12 * SCSNR)/1,000.000
Where SCSNR = 15 kHz is assumed in calculation of B.
For NR
B = (12 * SCSE-UTRA + LCRB_alloc,NR * 12 * SCSNR)/1,000.000
Where SCSE-UTRA = 15 kHz is assumed in calculation of B.
and MA is reduced by 1 dB for B < 2.
The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-3 [4] clause 6.2B.2.2.
Exception requirements for both NR and E-UTRA are defined for this test when transmission on E-UTRA overlap in time with NR. LTE anchor agnostic approach is not applied for this case. E-UTRA test point analysis is included and E-UTRA measurements are performed.
No exception requirements for NR or E-UTRA are defined for this test when transmission on E-UTRA doesn’t overlap in time with NR. LTE anchor agnostic approach is not applied for this case based on the test point analysis in TS 38.905 [7].

6.2B.2.2.4.1 Initial conditions
