5.2.3.1.12_1 4Rx FDD FR1 PDSCH Multiple-DCI based transmission scheme performance – 2×4 MIMO for both SA and NSA

5.2.3.1.12_1.1 Test purpose

To verify the PDSCH performance when UE is configured two different values of CORESETPoolIndex in ControlResourceSet and when UE receives multiple PDCCHs scheduling PDSCHs.

5.2.3.1.12_1.2 Test applicability

Test 1-1 applies to all types of NR UE release 16 and forward supporting capability IE multiDCI-MultiTRP-r16.

5.2.3.1.12_1.3 Test description

5.2.3.1.12_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.

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.3.2.5 for UE diagram.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 5.2-1, Table 5.2.3.1.12.0-2 and Table 5.2.3.1.12.0-3 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.

5.2.3.1.12_1.3.2 Test procedure

1. SS transmits PDSCH in TRxP#1 via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI in ControlResourceSetid1 (Table 5.2.3.1.12_1.3.3_1-2), and transmits PDSCH in TRxP#2 via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI in ControlResourceSetid2 (Table 5.2.3.1.12_1.3.3_1-3), to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 5.2.3.1.12_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 5.2.3.1.12_1.4-1.

5.2.3.1.14_1.3 Test description

5.2.3.1.14_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.

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.3.2.5 for UE diagram.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 5.2-1, Table 5.2.3.1.14.0-2 and Table 5.2.3.1.14.0-3 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.

5.2.3.1.14_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 5.2.3.1.14_1.3.3_1-2), to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 5.2.3.1.14_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 5.2.3.1.14_1.4-1.

3. Measure the residual BLER for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex G clause G.1.5. Count the number of correctly and incorrectly received transport blocks based on ACK/NACK feedback on the UL during each subtest and decide pass or fail according to clause G.1.4 and Table G.1.5-1a in Annex G clause G.1.5.

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.3.1.7.4 for TE diagram and section A.3.2.5 for UE diagram.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 5.2-1, Table 5.2.3.2.8.0-2 and Table 5.2.3.2.8.0-3 as appropriate.
