- Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 38.508-1 [6] Annex A, FFS for TE diagram and clause FFS for UE diagram.
2. The parameter settings for the NR cell are set up according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.4.3. The parameter settings for the E-UTRA V2X sidelink transmission are pre-configured according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.10. Message content exceptions are defined in clause 6.2E.1.1.4.3.
3. Downlink signals are initially set up according to TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex C.0, and uplink signals according to TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex G for the NR cell.
4. The NR UL Reference Measurement channels and the E-UTRA V2X Reference Measurement Channel are set according to Table 6.2E.2.2.2.4.1-1.
5. 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.
8. Ensure the UE is in state FFS according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause FFS. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2E.2.2.2.4.3.
6.2E.2.2.2.4.2 Test procedure
1. The SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the NR UL RMC according to Table 6.2E.2.2.2.4.1-1 on NR CC. The UE starts to perform the E-UTRA V2X sidelink communication according to SL-V2X-Preconfiguration. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the NR UL and E-UTRA V2X sidelink RMC.
2. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands to the UE 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. Measure the mean power over all component carriers in the inter-band con-current V2X configuration. 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.
NOTE 1: When switching to DFT-s-OFDM waveform, as specified in the test configuration table 6.2E.2.2.2.4.1-1, 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.
6.2E.2.2.2.4.3 Message contents
Message contents are according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.6.1 for NR Uu carrier and TS 36.508 [11] clause 4.6 for E-UTRA V2X sidelink carrier with the following exceptions:
