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.3.1.7.2 for TE diagram and clause A.3.2.2 for UE diagram.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 5.3-1 and Table 5.3.2.1.1-1 and 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 5.2.2.1.1.4.3.

5.3.2.1.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS transmits PDCCH with DCI format as specified in PDCCH Reference Channel for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 5.3.2.1.1.3-1. The details of PDCCH are specified in Table 5.3.1, Table 5.3.2.1-1, Table 5.3.2.1.1.3-1 respectively. The details of PDSCH are specified in Table A.3.3.1.1-3. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.

2. Set the parameters of the propagation condition, antenna configuration, the correlation matrix and the SNR according to Table 5.3.2.1.1.3-1 as appropriate.

3. Measure the Pm-dsg 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 PUCCH during each subtest interval. Pm-dsg is the ratio (statDTX)/(NACK+ACK+statDTX). If Pm-dsg is less than the value specified in table 5.3.2.1.1.4.4-1, pass the UE. Otherwise fail the UE.

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 5.3.2.2.3.4.3.

5.3.2.2.3.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS transmits PDCCH with DCI format2_6 as specified in PDCCH Reference Channel for C_RNTI within DRX off state. The Wake-up indication bit in PDCCH is set to 1.

2. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH with DCI format1_1 as specified in PDCCH Reference Channel for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 5.3.2.2.3.3-2 in DRX on period. The details of PDCCH are specified in Table 5.3-1, Table 5.3.2.2-1 and Table 5.3.2.2.3.3-2 respectively. The details of PDSCH are specified in Table A.3.3.2.2-3. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.

3. Set the parameters of the propagation condition, antenna configuration, the correlation matrix and the SNR according to Table 5.3.2.2.3.3-2 as appropriate.

4. Measure the Pm-dsg 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 PUCCH during each subtest interval. Pm-dsg is the ratio (statDTX)/(NACK+ACK+statDTX). If Pm-dsg is less than the value specified in table 5.3.2.2.3.5-1, pass the UE. Otherwise fail the UE.

5. Repeat steps from 2 to 4 for each subtest in Table 5.3.2.2.3.3-1 as appropriate.

5.3.3.1.3.4.1 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 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 cell are set up according to Table 5.3-1, Table 5.3.3.1-1, Table 5.3.3.1.3.3-1 and Table 5.3.3.1.3.3-2 and 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 5.3.3.1.3.4.3.

5.3.3.1.3.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS transmits PDCCH with DCI format as specified in PDCCH Reference Channel for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 5.3.3.1.3.3-1. The details of PDCCH are specified in Table 5.3.1, Table 5.3.3.1-1, Table 5.3.3.1.3.3-1 and Table 5.3.3.1.3.3-2 respectively. The details of PDSCH are specified in Table A.3.3.1.1-3. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. During the test the UE shall monitor the DCI format 2_6 PDCCH in DRX off state and decide whether to receive the following PDCCH in DRX on period.

2. Set the parameters of the propagation condition, antenna configuration, the correlation matrix and the SNR according to Table 5.3.3.1.3.3-2 as appropriate.

3. Measure the Pm-dsg 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 PUCCH during each subtest interval. Pm-dsg is the ratio (statDTX)/(NACK+ACK+statDTX). If Pm-dsg is less than the value specified in table 5.3.3.1.3.4.4-1, pass the UE. Otherwise fail the UE.
