6.5B.2.1.1.4.2 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.2.1.1.4.1-1 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 P_UMAX level; allow at least 200 ms from the first TPC command for the UE to reach P_UMAX 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. The measure transmitted power shall meet the requirements in clause 6.2B.2.1.5. The period of measurement shall be at least the continuous duration of 1ms over consecutive active uplink slots For TDD, only slots consisting of only UL symbols are under test.

4. Measure the power of the transmitted signal with a measurement filter of bandwidths according to Table 6.5B.2.1.1.5-1. The centre frequency of the filter shall be stepped in continuous steps according to the same table. The measured power shall be recorded for each step. The measurement period shall capture the active TSs.

NOTE 1: When switching to DFT-s-OFDM waveform, as specified in the test configuration Table 6.5B.2.1.1.4.1-1, 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.

6.5B.2.1.2.1 Test purpose

To verify that UE transmitter does not cause unacceptable interference to other channels or other systems in terms of transmitter spurious emissions under the deployment scenarios where additional requirements are specified.

6.5B.2.1.2.2 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.

For contiguous intra-band EN-DC configuration of DC_(n)71AA when NS_35 is indicated for the UE the requirements in table 6.5B.2.1.2.3-1 apply in the frequency ranges immediately adjacent and outside the aggregation of the said sub-blocks

When NS_35 is indicated in the MCG and NS_35 is indicated in the SCG the requirements in table 6.5B.2.1.2.3.1-1 apply in the frequency ranges immediately adjacent and outside the aggregated sub-blocks of the EN-DC configuration for DC_(n)71AA.

NOTE: ENBW is the aggregated bandwidth of an E-UTRA sub-block and an adjacent NR sub-block; there is no frequency separation between the said sub-blocks. The sub-block bandwidths include any internal guard bands.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-3 [4] clause 6.5B.2.1.2.1.

Exception requirements for both NR and E-UTRA are defined for this test when transmission on E-UTRA overlap in time with NR.LTE and therefore LTE anchor agnostic approach is not applied. E-UTRA test point analysis is included and E-UTRA measurements are performed.

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, for a UE that doesn’t support dynamic power sharing. 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.

6.5B.2.1.2.3.2 Minimum requirement for network signalled value "NS_04"

Additional spectrum emission requirements are signalled by the network to indicate that the UE shall meet an additional requirement for a specific deployment scenario as part of the cell handover/broadcast message.

The Band 41/n41 SEM transition point from -13 dBm/MHz to -25 dBm/MHz is based on the emission bandwidth. The emission bandwidth is defined as the width of the signal between two points, one below the carrier centre frequency and one above the carrier centre frequency, outside of which all emissions are attenuated at least 26 dB below the transmitter power. Since the 26 dB emission bandwidth is implementation dependent, the transmission bandwidths occupied by RBs is used for the SEM. The emission bandwidth for LTE carriers is document in TS 36.101 [5], and the emission bandwidth for NR carriers is documented in TS 38.101-1 [2]. The total emission bandwidth for contiguous intra-band EN-DC is the sum of the emission bandwidth for each CC plus the guard band between contiguous CCs.

When "NS_04" is indicated in the cell, the power of any UE emission shall not exceed the levels specified in Table 6.5B.2.1.2.3.2-1.

Table 6.5B.2.1.2.3.2-1: n41 SEM with NS_04

	Spectrum emission limit (dBm)/ measurement bandwidth for each channel bandwidth

± 1 – 5	-10						1 MHz
± 5 – X	-13
± X – (BWChannel + 5 MHz)	-25
NOTE 1: X is defined as the sum of the emission bandwidth of the component carriers plus the guard band between contiguous CCs.

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.3.1.4.1-1 on both EN-DC component carriers. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

3. Measure the mean power over all component carriers for the EN-DC configuration, which shall meet the requirements described in table 6.5B.2.1.2.5.1-1 through to 6.5B.2.1.2.5.2-1. The period of the measurement shall be at least the continuous duration of one active sub-frame (1ms).

4. Measure the power of the transmitted signal with a measurement filter of bandwidths according to table 6.5B.2.1.2.5-1 through to 6.5B.2.1.2.5.2-1. The centre frequency of the filter shall be stepped in contiguous steps according to the same table. The measured power shall be recorded for each step. The measurement period shall capture the active time slots.

NOTE 1: When switching to DFT-s-OFDM waveform, as specified in the test configuration table 6.2B.3.1.4.1-2, 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.

The spectral emission mask for intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC is a composite of the emission mask for each CC with the level set to the maximum value from each mask for each frequency outside of the transmission bandwidth of either carrier. A composite spectrum emission mask is a combination of individual CC spectrum emissions masks. Where two masks overlap the most relaxed limit is used. Composite spectrum emission mask applies to frequencies up to ± Δf_OOB starting from the edges of the sub-blocks. If for some frequency an individual CC spectrum emission mask overlaps with the bandwidth of another CC then the emission mask does not apply for that frequency.

6.5B.2.2.3 Adjacent channel leakage ratio for intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC

6.5B.2.2.3.1 Test purpose

To verify that UE transmitter does not cause unacceptable interference to adjacent channels in terms of Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR).

6.5B.2.2.3.2 Test applicability

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

6.5B.2.2.3.3 Minimum conformance requirements

For intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC, the EN-DC Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (EN-DC_ACLR) is the ratio of the sum of the filtered mean powers centred on the assigned E-UTRA and NR sub-block frequencies to the filtered mean power centred on an adjacent channel frequency at nominal channel spacing. In case the sub-block gap bandwidth Wgap is smaller than an E-UTRA or NR sub-block bandwidth, no EN-DC_ACLR requirement is set for the corresponding sub-block for the gap. The assigned EN-DC sub-block power and adjacent channel power are measured with rectangular filters with measurement bandwidths specified in TS 36.101 [5] for the E-UTRA sub-block, and TS 38.101-1 [2] for the NR sub-block. If the measured adjacent channel power is greater than –50dBm then the EN-DC_ACLR shall be higher than the value specified in for E-UTRA_ACLR and NR_ACLR.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-3 [4] clause 6.5B.2.2.3.

Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio must be measured for both NR and E-UTRA and therefore LTE anchor agnostic approach is not applied.

Initial Conditions and Test Parameters

Same as defined in Table 6.2B.2.2.4.1-1

1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 38.508-1 [6] Annex A, Figure A.3.1.1.1 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.

4. 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.

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.

6.5B.2.2.3.4.2 Test Procedure

1. For NR carrier, 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 6.5B.2.2.3.4.1-1. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

2. For E-UTRA carrier, SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.5B.2.2.3.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

3. Send continuously power control “up” commands to the UE for NR and E-UTRA until the UE transmits at P_UMAX level. Allow at least 200ms for the UE to reach P_UMAX level.

4. Measure the mean power of the UE in the channel bandwidth of the radio access mode according to the test configuration, which shall meet the requirements in clause 6.2B.2.2.5 as appropriate. The period of the measurement shall be at least the continuous duration of 1ms over consecutive active uplink slots. For TDD, only slots consisting of only UL symbols are under test.

5. Measure the rectangular filtered mean power for the assigned NR channel.

6. Measure the rectangular filtered mean power of the first NR adjacent channel on both lower and upper side of the assigned NR channel, respectively. Skip the measurement within the Wgap in case Wgap < NR sub-block bandwidth.

7. Calculate the ratios of the power between the values measured in step 4 over step 5 for lower and upper NR _ACLR, respectively.

8. Measure the rectangular filtered mean power for E-UTRA channel.

9. Measure the rectangular filtered mean power of the first E-UTRA adjacent channel on both lower and upper side of the E-UTRA channel, respectively. Skip the measurement within the Wgap in case Wgap < E-UTRA sub-block bandwidth.

10. Calculate the ratios of the power between the values measured in step 7 over step 8 for lower and upper E-UTRA_ACLR, respectively.

NOTE 1: When switching to DFT-s-OFDM waveform, 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.
