6.3.3.1.1.4 Test description

6.3.3.1.1.4.1 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.

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.3.2.2 for UE diagram.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 6.1.2-1 and Table 6.3.3.1.1_1 and as appropriate.

3. Downlink signals for NR cell are initially set up according to Annexes C.0, C.1, C.2, C.3.1 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, Connected without release On for SA or (EN-DC, DC bearer MCG and SCG, Connected without Release On) for NSA according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.5. Message content are defined in clause 6.3.3.1.1.4.3.

6.3.3.1.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. Set the parameters of bandwidth, the propagation condition, antenna configuration and measurement channel according to Table 6.3.2.2.1.3-1 as appropriate.

2. The SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format [1_1] for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC with precoding matrix according to PMI report from the UE. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. SS schedules the UL transmission with an UL RMC for CP-OFDM QPSK with 5 RBs allocated according to A.2.2.6 of TS 38.521-1 [21] to carry the PUSCH CQI feedback via PDCCH DCI format [0_1] with aperiodic CSI request triggered. No transport block is sent in parallel to the CQI feedback. Establish and according to Annex G.3.2.

3. Set SNR to. The SS shall transmit PDSCH with randomly selected precoding matrix from codebook (Table 5.2.2.2.1-5 in TS 38.214 [12]) every slot regardless of PMI reports from the UE. Note that each precoding matrix shall be selected in equal probabilities. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. SS schedules the UL transmission to carry the PUSCH CSI feedback via PDCCH DCI format [0_1] with aperiodic CSI request triggered. Measure according to Annex G.3.3.

4. Calculate. If the ratio ≥ which is specified in table 6.3.2.1.1.5-1, then the test is pass. Otherwise, the test is fail.

6.3.3.2.3.4 Test description

6.3.3.2.3.4.1 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.

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.3.1.7.10 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 6.2.1-2 and Table 6.3.3.2.3.3-1and as appropriate.

3. Downlink signals for NR cell are initially set up according to Annexes C.0, C.1, C.2, C.3.1 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, Connected without release On for SA or (EN-DC, DC bearer MCG and SCG, Connected without Release On) for NSA according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.5. Message content are defined in clause 6.3.3.2.3.4.3.

6.3.3.2.3.4.2 Test procedure

1. Set the parameters of bandwidth, the propagation condition, antenna configuration and measurement channel according to Table 6.3.3.2.3.3-1 as appropriate.

2. The SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format [1_1] for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC with precoding matrix according to PMI report from the UE. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. SS schedules the UL transmission with an UL RMC for CP-OFDM QPSK with 5 RBs allocated according to A.2.2.6 of TS 38.521-1 [21] to carry the PUSCH CQI feedback via PDCCH DCI format [0_1] with aperiodic CSI request triggered. No transport block is sent in parallel to the CQI feedback. Establish and according to Annex G.3.2.

3. Set SNR to. The SS shall transmit PDSCH with randomly selected precoding matrix from codebook (Table 5.2.2.2.1-6 in TS 38.214 [12]) every slot regardless of PMI reports from the UE. Note that each precoding matrix shall be selected in equal probabilities. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. SS schedules the UL transmission to carry the PUSCH CSI feedback via PDCCH DCI format [0_1] with aperiodic CSI request triggered. Measure according to Annex G.3.3.

4. Calculate. If the ratio ≥ which is specified in table 6.3.3.2.3.5-1, then the test is pass. Otherwise, the test is fail.

6.3.3.2.5.4 Test description

6.3.3.2.5.4.1 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.

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.3.1.7.10 for TE diagram and section A.3.2.2 for UE diagram.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to Table 6.1.2-1 and Table 6.3.3.2.5.3-1 and as appropriate.

3. Downlink signals for NR cell are initially set up according to Annexes C.0, C.1, C.2, C.3.1 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, Connected without release On for SA or (EN-DC, DC bearer MCG and SCG, Connected without Release On) for NSA according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.5. Message content are defined in clause 6.3.2.1.4.4.3.

6.3.3.2.5.4.2 Test procedure

1. Set the parameters of bandwidth, the propagation condition, antenna configuration and measurement channel according to Table 6.3.3.2.5.3-1 as appropriate.

2. The SS shall transmit PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format [1_1] for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC with precoding matrix according to PMI report from the UE. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. SS schedules the UL transmission with an UL RMC for CP-OFDM QPSK with 5 RBs allocated according to A.2.2.6 of TS 38.521-1 [21] to carry the PUSCH CQI feedback via PDCCH DCI format [0_1] with aperiodic CSI request triggered. No transport block is sent in parallel to the CQI feedback. Establish and according to Annex G.3.2.

3. Set SNR to. The SS shall transmit PDSCH with randomly selected precoding matrix from codebook (Table 5.2.2.2.1-6 in TS 38.214 [12]) every slot regardless of PMI reports from the UE. Note that each precoding matrix shall be selected in equal probabilities, and the random precoder generation shall follow the codebook configuration as specified in Table 6.3.3.2.3.3-1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. SS schedules the UL transmission to carry the PUSCH CSI feedback via PDCCH DCI format [0_1] with aperiodic CSI request triggered. Measure according to Annex G.3.3.

4. Calculate. If the ratio ≥ which is specified in table 6.3.3.2.5.5-1, then the test is pass. Otherwise, the test is fail.
