7.8E.1 Wide band Intermodulation for V2X

7.8E.1.0 Minimum conformance requirements

For intra-band V2X operation, the intermodulation characteristics specified in clause 7.8.1G in TS 36.101 [5] and specified in clause 7.8E in TS 38.101-1 [2] apply when all SL reception CCs are activated at same time.

For inter-band NR V2X con-current operation, the intermodulation characteristics requirements shall be applied per each component carrier. The wideband inter-modulation requirement specified in clause 7.8E in TS 38.101-1 [2] shall apply on NR V2X carrier and the requirement specified in clause 7.8.1 in TS 36.101 [5] shall apply on E-UTRA downlink reception in licensed band while all downlink carriers are active. The requirements specified in subclause 7.8.1G of TS 36.101 [5] shall apply for the E-UTRA sidelink reception and the requirements specified in subclause 7.8 of TS 38.101-1 [2] shall apply for the NR downlink reception while all downlink carriers are active. P_Interferer power is increased by ΔR_IB,c in the requirement.

7.8E.1.1 Wide band Intermodulation for V2X operation

7.8E.1.1.1 Test purpose

Intermodulation response tests the UE’s ability to receive data with a given average throughput for a specified reference measurement channel, in the presence of two or more interfering signals which have a specific frequency relationship to the wanted signal, under conditions of ideal propagation and no added noise.

A UE unable to meet the throughput requirement under these conditions will decrease the coverage area when two or more interfering signals exist which have a specific frequency relationship to the wanted signal.

7.8E.1.1.2 Test applicability

No exception requirements applicable to NR V2X operation or E-UTRA V2X operation. The requirements in this test case can be well covered in clause 7.8.1 and 7.8.1G of TS 36.521-1 [10] and clause 7.8.2 and 7.8E.2 of TS 38.521-1 [8] and don’t need to be tested again.
