5.2.2.1.13_1.3 Test description

5.2.2.1.13_1.3.1 Initial conditions

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.

The initial test configurations consist of environmental conditions, test frequencies, test channel bandwidths and sub-carrier spacing based on NR operating bands specified in Table 5.3.5-1 and Table 5.3.6-1 of 38.521-1 [7].

Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.

Test Environment: Normal, as defined in TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.1.

Frequencies to be tested: Mid Range, as defined in TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 5.2.2.

For EN-DC within FR1 operation, setup the LTE link according to Annex D

1. Connect the SS, the faders and AWGN noise source to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 38.508-1 [6] Annex A, in Figure A.3.1.7.9 for TE diagram and section A.3.2.3 for UE diagram.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 5.2-1, Table 5.2.2.1.13.0-2 and Table 5.2.2.1.13.0-3 as appropriate.

3. Downlink signals for NR cell are initially set up according to Annexes C.0, C.1, C.2 and uplink signals according to Annexes G.0, G.1, G.2, G.3.1 of TS 38.521-1 [7].

4. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0.

5. Ensure the UE is in state RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR for SA with Connected without release On, Test Mode On or EN-DC, DC bearer MCG and SCG, Connected without release On, Test Mode On, for NSA according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.5. Message contents are defined in clause 5.2.2.1.13_1.3.3.

5.2.2.1.13_1.3.2 Test procedure

1. SS transmits PDSCH in TRxP#1 and TRxP#2 via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI (Table 5.2.2.1.13_1.3.3_1-2), to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 5.2.2.1.13_1.4-1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.

2. Set the parameters of the bandwidth, MCS, reference channel, the propagation condition, the correlation matrix and the SNR for TRxP#1 and TRxP#2 according to Table 5.2.2.1.13_1.4-1.

3. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G clause G.1.5. Count the number of NACKs, ACKs and statDTXs on the UL during each subtest and decide pass or fail according to Table G.1.5-1 in Annex G clause G.1.5.

This test also applies to all types of EUTRA UE release 15 and forward supporting EN-DC.

5.2.2.2.1_1.3 Test Description

5.2.2.2.1_1.3.1 Initial Conditions

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.

The initial test configurations consist of environmental conditions, test frequencies, test channel bandwidths and sub-carrier spacing based on NR operating bands specified in Table 5.3.5-1 of TS 38.521-1.

Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.

Test Environment: Normal, as defined in TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.1.

Frequencies to be tested: Mid Range, as defined in TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 5.2.2.

For EN-DC within FR1 operation, setup the LTE link according to Annex D:

1. Connect the SS, the faders and AWGN noise source to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 38.508-1 [6] Annex A, in Figure A.3.1.7.1 for TE diagram and clause A.3.2.2 for UE diagram.

2. The parameter settings for the NR cell are set up according to Table 5.2-1 and Table 5.2.2.2.1.0-2 and as appropriate.

3. Downlink signals for the NR cell are initially set up according to Annexes C.0, C.1, C.2 and uplink signals according to Annexes G.0, G.1, G.2, G.3.1 of TS 38.521-1 [7].

4. Propagation conditions for the NR cell are set according to Annex B.0.

5. Ensure the UE is in state RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR for SA with Connected without release On, Test Mode On or EN-DC, DC bearer MCG and SCG, Connected without release On, Test Mode On for NSA according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.5. Message contents are defined in clause 5.2.2.2.1_1.4.3.

5.2.2.2.1_1.3.2 Test Procedure

1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 5.2.2.2.1_1.4-1 and Table 5.2.2.2.1_1.4-2. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.

2. Set the parameters of the bandwidth, MCS, reference channel, the propagation condition, the correlation matrix and the SNR according to Tables 5.2.2.2.1_1.4-1 and 5.2.2.2.1_1.4-2 as appropriate.

3. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G clause G.1.5. Count the number of NACKs, ACKs and statDTXs on the UL during each subtest and decide pass or fail according to Tables G.1.5-2 in Annex G clause G.1.5.

4. Repeat steps from 1 to 3 for each subtest in Table 5.2.2.2.1_1.4-1 and Table 5.2.2.2.1_1.4-2 as appropriate.

5.2.2.2.11_1 2Rx TDD FR1 PDSCH Single-DCI based SDM scheme performance – 2×2 MIMO for both SA and NSA

5.2.2.2.11_1.1 Test purpose

To verify the PDSCH performance with Single-DCI based SDM scheme under 2 receive antenna conditions.

5.2.2.2.11_1.2 Test applicability

Test applies to all types of NR UE release 16 and forward supporting capability IE singleDCI-SDM-scheme-r16.

5.2.2.2.11_1.3 Test description

5.2.2.2.11_1.3.1 Initial conditions

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.

The initial test configurations consist of environmental conditions, test frequencies, test channel bandwidths and sub-carrier spacing based on NR operating bands specified in Table 5.3.5-1 and Table 5.3.6-1 of 38.521-1 [7].

Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.

Test Environment: Normal, as defined in TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.1.

Frequencies to be tested: Mid Range, as defined in TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 5.2.2.

For EN-DC within FR1 operation, setup the LTE link according to Annex D

1. Connect the SS, the faders and AWGN noise source to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 38.508-1 [6] Annex A, in Figure A.3.1.7.1 for TE diagram and section A.3.2.3 for UE diagram.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 5.2-1, Table 5.2.2.2.11.0-2 and Table 5.2.2.2.11.0-3 as appropriate.

3. Downlink signals for NR cell are initially set up according to Annexes C.0, C.1, C.2 and uplink signals according to Annexes G.0, G.1, G.2, G.3.1 of TS 38.521-1 [7].

4. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0.

5. Ensure the UE is in state RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR for SA with Connected without release On, Test Mode On or EN-DC, DC bearer MCG and SCG, Connected without release On, Test Mode On, for NSA according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.5. Message contents are defined in clause 5.2.2.2.11_1.3.3.

5.2.2.2.11_1.3.2 Test procedure

1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 5.2.2.2.11_1.3.4-1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.

2. Set the parameters of the bandwidth, MCS, reference channel, the propagation condition, the correlation matrix and the SNR according to Table 5.2.2.2.11_1.3.4-1.

3. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G clause G.1.5. Count the number of NACKs, ACKs and statDTXs on the UL during each subtest and decide pass or fail according to Table G.1.5-1 in Annex G clause G.1.5.

4. Repeat steps from 1 to 3 for each subtest in Table 5.2.2.2.11_1.3.4-1 as appropriate.
