This test applies to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward.
This test also applies to all types of EUTRA UE release 15 and forward supporting EN-DC.
7.2.2.2.1_1.3 Test Description
7.2.2.2.1_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 5.2-1 of TS 38.521-2 [8].
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.
Only sub tests shall be tested which are testable according to Table 7.1.1_1-2.
For EN-DC within FR2 operation, setup the LTE radiated link according to Annex D:
1. Connection between SS, the faders, AWGN noise source and the UE is shown in TS 38.508-1 [6] Annex A, Figure A.3.3.2 for TE diagram and Figure A.3.4.2 for UE diagram.
2. The parameter settings for the NR cell are set up according to Table 7.2-1 and Table 7.2.2.2.1.0-2 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 38.521-2 [8].
4. Propagation conditions for 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 content are defined in clause 7.2.2.2.1_1.3.3.
7.2.2.2.1_1.3.2 Test Procedure
1. Set the UE in a direction that satisfies the 3 normative criteria specified in Annex H.0.If no direction found, mark the test as inconclusive.
2. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Tables 7.2.2.2.1_1.4-1 and 7.2.2.2.1_1.4-2.. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.
3. Set the parameters of the bandwidth, MCS, reference channel, the propagation condition, the correlation matrix and the SNR according to Tables 7.2.2.2.1_1.4-1 and 7.2.2.2.1_1.4-2 as appropriate.
4. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex 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.1.5-1 in Annex G.
5. Repeat steps from 1 to 4 for each subtest in Tables 7.2.2.2.1_1.4-1 and 7.2.2.2.1_1.4-2 as appropriate.

7.2.2.2.2_1.3.2 Test Procedure
1. Set the UE in a direction that satisfies the 3 normative criteria specified in Annex H.0.If no direction found, mark the test as inconclusive.
2. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Tables 7.2.2.2.2_1.4-1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. The UE may expect that the TB is repeated with same symbol allocation among each of the pdsch-AggregationFactor consecutive slots.
3. Set the parameters of the bandwidth, MCS, reference channel, the propagation condition, the correlation matrix and the SNR according to Tables 7.2.2.2.2_1.4-1 as appropriate.
4. Measure the 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 Tables G.1.5-1a in Annex G.

7.5 Sustained downlink data rate provided by lower layers
7.5.1 FR2 Sustained downlink data rate performance for single carrier
7.5.1.1 Test Purpose
The purpose of the test is to verify that the Layer 1 and Layer 2 correctly process in a sustained manner the received packets corresponding to the maximum data rate indicated by UE capabilities. The sustained downlink data rate shall be verified in terms of the success rate of delivered PDCP SDU(s) by Layer 2. The test case below specifies the RF conditions and the required success rate of delivered TB by Layer 1 to meet the sustained data rate requirement.
7.5.1.2 Test Applicability
This test applies to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward.
7.5.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements
The requirements in this clause are applicable to the FR2 single carrier case.
The requirements and procedure defined below apply using operating band instead of CA configuration, and bandwidth instead of bandwidth combination.
The test parameters are determined by the following procedure:
– Step 1: Calculate the date rate for all supported CA configurations and set of per component carrier (CC) UE capabilities among all supported UE capabilities:
– Use Table 7.5.1.3-3 to determine the MCS (=MCS1) achieving the largest data rate [clause 4.1.2 of TS 38.306 [14]] based on UE capabilities.
– Use Table 7.5.1.3-4 to determine the largest MCS (=MCS2) requiring SNR below test equipment maximum achievable SNR for that CA configuration.
– Compute the data rate for CA configuration using the MCS = min(MCS1,MCS2) and the following equation for each CC in CA bandwidth combination.
where
J is the number of aggregated component carriers in CA bandwidth combination
TBSj is the total number of DL-SCH transport block bits calculated based on methodology in Clause 5.1.3.2 of TS 38.214 [12] and using parameters from Table 7.5.1.3-1
µj is provided in Clause 4.2 of TS 38.211 for different subcarrier spacing values
– Step 2: Choose the CA bandwidth combination among all supported CA configurations that achieves maximum data rate in step 1 among all UE capabilities.
– Set of per CC UE capabilities includes channel bandwidth, subcarrier spacing, number of PDSCH MIMO layers, modulation format and scaling factor in accordance with clause 4.1.2 of TS 38.306 [14].
– When there are multiple sets of CA bandwidth combinations and UE capabilities (channel bandwidth, subcarrier spacing, number of MIMO layer, modulation format, scaling factor) with same data rate, select one among sets with the smallest aggregated channel bandwidth.
– Step 3: For each CC in chosen CA bandwidth combination, use determined MCS for each CC in step 1 for that CA configuration based on test parameters and indicated UE capabilities.
The TB success rate shall be higher than 85% when PDSCH is scheduled with MCS defined for the selected CA bandwidth combination and with the downlink physical channel setup according to Annex C.3.1.
The TB success rate is defined as 100%*NDL_correct_rx / (NDL_newtx + NDL_retx), where NDL_newtx is the number of newly transmitted DL transport blocks, NDL_retx is the number of retransmitted DL transport blocks, and NDL_correct_rx is the number of correctly received DL transport blocks.
The test parameters are specified in Table 7.5.1.3-1.
Unless otherwise stated, no user data is scheduled on slot #0, 40 and 41 within 20 ms for SCS 60 kHz.
Unless otherwise stated, no user data is scheduled on slot #0, 80 and 81 within 20 ms for SCS 120 kHz.

7.5.1.4 Test description
7.5.1.4.1 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 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 4.3.1.1.
1. Connect the SS 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 (without fader and AWGN) and clause A.3.2.2 for UE diagram.
2. The parameter settings for the NR cell are initially set up according to Table 7.5.1.3-1 as appropriate.
3. Downlink signals for the 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 for the NR cell are set according to Annex B.1.
5. Ensure the UE is in state RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR with Connected without release On, Test Loop Function On with UE Test Loop Mode A with UL_PDCP_SDU_SIZE = 0 according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.5.4. Message content are defined in clause 7.5.1.4.3.
6. SS shall transmit UECapabilityEnquiry message.
7. The UE shall transmit UECapabilityInformation message.
8. Using the UE capabilities advertised in the UE-CapabilityRAT-Container of the type UE-NR-Capability, and the procedure outlined in 7.5.1.3 determine one set of parameters that would provide the largest data rate.
9. Setup up the NR cell using these parameters for the test.
10. Configure the TBsize, DL RMC, UL RMC, PDCP size from Annex A.3.2_1 and Annex A.2.2 for UL as appropriate.
7.5.1.4.2 Test procedure
1. SS configures T-reordering timer to be infinity.
2. SS sends a PDCP reestablishment via RRC Reconfiguration message requesting for PDCP Status Report.
3. SS sets the counters NDL_newtx NDL_retx to 0.
4. For each new DL HARQ transmission the SS generates sufficient PDCP SDUs (max PDCP SDU size and minimum number of consecutive PDCP SDUs) to fill up the TB in accordance with Annex A.3.2_1. The SS ciphers the PDCP SDUs, concatenates the resultant PDCP PDUs to form an RLC PDU and then a MAC PDU. The SS transmits the MAC PDU. The SS increments then NDL_newtx by one
5. If PHY requests a DL HARQ retransmission, the SS performs a HARQ retransmission and increments NDL_retx by one.
6. Steps 5 to 6 are repeated at every TTI for at least 300 frames and the SS waits for 300ms to let any HARQ retransmissions and RLC retransmissions to finish.
7. SS sends a PDCP reestablishment via RRC Reconfiguration message requesting for PDCP Status Report.
8. The SS calculates the TB success rate as A = 100%* NDL_correct_rx / (NDL_newtx + NDL_retx).
10. SS computes the PDCP SDU loss by looking into the FMC and Bitmap field in the PDCP Status Report. PDCP SDU loss B = COUNT reported in the Bitmap field of PDCP Stata Report.
11. The UE passes the test if A ≥ 85% TB success rates and B = 0.
Note 1: In case of RLC PDU retransmission, the number of new required PDCP SDUs is as many as to fill the rest of TB.

7.5.1.5 Test requirement
The TB success rate of greater than 85% with no PDCP SDU loss shall be sustained during at least 300 frames.
7.5A.1 FR2 Sustained downlink data rate performance for carrier aggregation
7.5A.1.1 FR2 SDR performance for CA
7.5A.1.1 Test Purpose
The purpose of the test is to verify that the Layer 1 and Layer 2 correctly process in a sustained manner the received packets corresponding to the maximum data rate indicated by UE capabilities. The sustained downlink data rate shall be verified in terms of the success rate of delivered PDCP SDU(s) by Layer 2. The test case below specifies the RF conditions and the required success rate of delivered TB by Layer 1 to meet the sustained data rate requirement.
7.5A.1.2 Test Applicability
This test applies to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward supporting 2DLCA.
7.5A.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements
Same as 7.5.1.3
7.5A.1.4 Test description
7.5A.1.4.1 Initial conditions
1. Connect the SS 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 (without fader and AWGN) and clause A.3.2.2 for UE diagram.
2. The parameter settings for the NR cell are initially set up according to Table 7.5.1.3-1 as appropriate.
3. Downlink signals for the 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 for the NR cell are set according to Annex B.1.
5. Ensure the UE is in state RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR with Connected without release On, Test Loop Function On with UE Test Loop Mode A with UL_PDCP_SDU_SIZE = 0 according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.5.4. Message content are defined in clause 7.5.1.4.3.
6. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1 and C.2 for all downlink physical channels.
7. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 5.5.1.
8. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC-CE (Refer TS 38.321 [18], clauses 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 1 second (Refer TS 38.133[19], clause9.3).
9. SS shall transmit UECapabilityEnquiry message.
10. The UE shall transmit UECapabilityInformation message.
11. Using the UE capabilities advertised in the UE-CapabilityRAT-Container of the type UE-NR-Capability, and the procedure outlined in 7.5.1.3 determine one set of parameters that would provide the largest data rate.
12. Setup up the NR cells using these parameters for the test.
13. Configure the TBsize, DL RMC, UL RMC, PDCP size from Annex A.3.2_1 and Annex A.2.2 for UL as appropriate.
7.5A.1.4.2 Test procedure
1. SS configures T-reordering timer to be infinity.
2. SS sends a PDCP reestablishment via RRC Reconfiguration message requesting for PDCP Status Report.
3. SS sets the counters NDL_newtx NDL_retx to 0.
4. For each new DL HARQ transmission the SS generates sufficient PDCP SDUs (max PDCP SDU size and minimum number of consecutive PDCP SDUs) to fill up the TB on both PCC and SCC in accordance with Annex A.3.2_1. The SS ciphers the PDCP SDUs, concatenates the resultant PDCP PDUs to form an RLC PDU and then a MAC PDU. The SS transmits the MAC PDU. The SS increments then NDL_newtx by one
5. If PHY requests a DL HARQ retransmission, the SS performs a HARQ retransmission and increments NDL_retx by one.
6. Steps 5 to 6 are repeated at every TTI for at least 300 frames and the SS waits for 300ms to let any HARQ retransmissions and RLC retransmissions to finish.
7. SS sends a PDCP reestablishment via RRC Reconfiguration message requesting for PDCP Status Report.
8. The SS calculates the TB success rate as A = 100%* NDL_correct_rx / (NDL_newtx + NDL_retx).
10. SS computes the PDCP SDU loss by looking into the FMC and Bitmap field in the PDCP Status Report. PDCP SDU loss B = COUNT reported in the Bitmap field of PDCP Stata Report.
11. The UE passes the test if A ≥ 85% TB success rates and B = 0.
Note 1: In case of RLC PDU retransmission, the number of new required PDCP SDUs is as many as to fill the rest of TB.
