6.5B.5.1 Transmit intermodulation for Intra-band contiguous EN-DC
No test case details are specified. No transmit intermodulation requirements are applied for intra band contiguous EN DC unless otherwise stated as in clause TS 38.101-3 [4] clause 6.5B.5.1.
6.5B.5.2 Transmit intermodulation for Intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC
No test case details are specified. No transmit intermodulation requirements are applied for intra band contiguous EN DC unless otherwise stated as in clause TS 38.101-3 [4] clause 6.5B.5.2.
6.5B.5.3 Transmit intermodulation for Inter-band EN-DC within FR1 (1 NR CC)
6.5B.5.3.1 Test purpose
Same test purpose as in clause 6.5.4 in TS 38.521-1 [8] for the NR carrier.
6.5B.5.3.2 Test applicability
This test applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 15 and forward, supporting inter-band EN-DC within FR1 with 1 NR UL.
6.5B.5.3.3 Minimum conformance requirements
The transmit intermodulation requirement specified in clauses 6.7.1 and 6.7.1A of TS 36.101 [5] and clauses 6.5.4 and 6.5A.4 of TS 38.101-1 [2] apply for each component carrier in E-UTRA bands and NR bands, respectively.
No exception requirements applicable to NR or E-UTRA. LTE anchor agnostic approach is applied.
The normative reference for this measurement is TS 38.101-3 [4] clause 6.5B.5.3.
6.5B.5.3.4 Test description
Same test description as in clause 6.5.4.4 in TS 38.521-1 [8] for the NR carrier with the following exception:
The initial test configurations for E-UTRA band consist of environmental conditions, test frequencies, and channel bandwidths based on E-UTRA bands specified in Table 4.6-1. For Initial conditions as in clause 6.5.4.4.1 in TS 38.521-1 [8], the following steps will be added to configure E-UTRA component:
2.1. The parameter settings for E-UTRA cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [11] clause 4.4.3.
3.1. The E-UTRA downlink signal level, uplink signal level are set according to Table 4.6-1 and propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0 of TS 36.521-1 [10].
Step 6 of Initial conditions as in clause 6.5.4.4.1 in TS 38.521-1 [8] is replaced by the following two steps:
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.
7. On the E-UTRA carrier, disable periodic and aperiodic CQI reports, disable SRS, set TimeAlignmentTimerDedicated IE to infinity and disable downlink and uplink scheduling, all as per Table 4.6-1 under clause 4.6.
Same test procedure as in clause 6.5.4.4.2 in TS 38.521-1 [8].
6.5B.5.3.5 Test Requirement
The ratio derived in step 6 and 8, shall not exceed the described value in Table 6.5.4.5-1 defined in TS 38.521-1 [8].
6.5B.5.3a Transmit Intermodulation for Inter-band NE-DC within FR1
No exception requirements applicable to NR or E-UTRA.
No test case details are specified. The requirements for NR carrier(s) in this test case are tested in 6.5.4 and 6.5A.4 of TS 38.521-1 [8], and the requirements for LTE carrier(s) in this test case are tested in 6.7 and 6.7A of TS 36.521-1 [10]. Neither NR carrier(s) nor LTE carrier(s) needs to be tested again.
