6.5B.1.1 Occupied bandwidth for Intra-Band Contiguous EN-DC

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

– measurement uncertainty for ENBW > 100 MHz is FFS.

6.5B.1.1.1 Test purpose

To verify that the UE occupied bandwidth for intra-band contiguous EN-DC for all transmission bandwidth configurations supported by the UE are less than their specific limits.

6.5B.1.1.2 Test applicability

This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 15 and forward, supporting intra-band contiguous EN-DC.

6.5B.1.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements

For intra-band contiguous EN-DC, the occupied bandwidth is a measure of the bandwidth containing the 99% of the total integrated power of the transmitted spectrum. The OBW shall be less than the aggregated channel bandwidth for EN-DC, denoted as EN-BW in clause 5.3B.

The normative reference for this measurement is TS 38.101-3 [4] clause 6.5B.1.

Exception requirements for both NR and E-UTRA are defined for this test and therefore LTE anchor agnostic approach is not applied. E-UTRA test point analysis is included and E-UTRA measurements are performed.

6.5B.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.

All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each EN-DC configuration specified in clause 5.3B.1.2 and are shown in table 6.5B.1.1.4.1-1. The details of the uplink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annex A.2.

1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in [6] TS 38.508-1 A.3.1.2.1 for SS diagram and 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.

6. 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.1.1.4.3.

7. 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.

6.5B.1.1.4.2 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 6.5B.1.1.4.1-1 on E-UTRA CC and NR CC respectively. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends 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 for the UE to reach PUMAX level.

3. Measure the power spectrum distribution over all EN-DC component carriers in the EN-DC within two times or more range over the requirement for Occupied Bandwidth specification for intra-band contiguous EN-DC centring on the current carrier frequency in the EN-DC configuration. The characteristics of the filter shall be approximately Gaussian (typical spectrum analyser filter). Other methods to measure the power spectrum distribution are allowed. The measuring duration is at least 1ms over consecutive active uplink slots.

4. Calculate the total power within the range of all frequencies measured in step 3 and save this value as "Total power".

5. Sum up the power upward from the lower boundary of the measured frequency range in step 3 and seek the limit frequency point by which this sum becomes 0.5% of "Total power" and save this point as "Lower Frequency".

6. Sum up the power downward from the upper boundary of the measured frequency range in step 3 and seek the limit frequency point by which this sum becomes 0.5% of "Total power" and save this point as "Upper Frequency".

7. Calculate the difference "Upper Frequency" – "Lower Frequency" = "Occupied Bandwidth" between the two limit frequencies obtained in step 5 and step 6.
