3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in TR 21.905 [9] and the following apply. A term defined in the present document takes precedence over the definition of the same term, if any, in TR 21.905 [9].
DL_nCC: DL_nCC(table_index) includes all supported n-carrier CA/DC configurations in Table table_index in TS 38.508-2 [8].
DL_NR_nCC: DL_NR_nCC(table_index) includes all supported DC configurations with n-carrier NR DL CA configuration in Table table_index in TS 38.508-2 [8].
EIRP(Link=Link angle, Meas=Link angle): measurement of the UE such that the link angle is aligned with the measurement angle. EIRP (indicator to be measured) can be replaced by EIS, Frequency, EVM, carrier Leakage, In-band emission and OBW. Beam peak search grids, TX beam peak direction, and RX beam peak direction can be selected to describe Link.
EIRP(Link=Link angle, Meas=beam peak direction): measurement of the EIRP of the UE such that the measurement angle is aligned with the beam peak direction within an acceptable measurement error uncertainty.
Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS): statement made by the supplier of an implementation or system claimed to conform to a given specification, stating which capabilities have been implemented
ICS proforma: document, in the form of a questionnaire, which when completed for an implementation or system becomes an ICS
Implementation extra Information for Testing (IXIT): A statement made by a supplier or implementer of an UEUT which contains or references all of the information (in addition to that given in the ICS) related to the UEUT and its testing environment, which will enable the test laboratory to run an appropriate test suite against the UEUT
Inter-band carrier aggregation: Carrier aggregation of component carriers in different operating bands.
NOTE: Carriers aggregated in each band can be contiguous or non-contiguous.
Intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation: Contiguous carriers aggregated in the same operating band.
Intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation: Non-contiguous carriers aggregated in the same operating band.
IXIT proforma: A document, in the form of a questionnaire, which when completed for an UEUT becomes an IXIT
Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS): An ICS for an implementation or system claimed to conform to a given protocol specification
Protocol Implementation eXtra Information for Testing (PIXIT): An IXIT related to testing for conformance to a given protocol specification
Static conformance review: A review of the extent to which the static conformance requirements are claimed to be supported by the UEUT, by comparing the answers in the ICS(s) with the static conformance requirements expressed in the relevant specification(s)
TRP(Link=Link angle): measurement of the TRP of the UE such that the measurement angle is aligned with the beam peak direction within an acceptable measurement uncertainty. TX beam peak direction and RX beam peak direction can be selected to describe Link.
NOTE: For requirements based on EIRP/EIS, the radiated interface boundary is associated to the far-field region
UL: UL(table_index) includes all supported CA Configurations where at least one UL CA configuration was declared in column "Supported CA Bandwidth Class(es) in UL" in Table table_index in TS 38.508-2 [8].
UL_nCC: UL_nCC(table_index) includes all supported CA Configurations where at least one n-carrier UL CA configuration was declared in column "Supported CA Bandwidth Class(es) in UL" in Table table_index in TS 38.508-2 [8].
UL_NR_nCC: UL_NR_nCC(table_index) includes all supported DC Configurations where at least one DC configuration with n-carrier NR UL CA configuration was declared in column "Supported EN-DC Bandwidth Class(es) in UL" in Table table_index in TS 38.508-2 [8].
ULTxSwitching: ULTxSwitching(table_index) includes all supported CA/DC/SUL Configurations where at least one uplink band pair was declared in column “Supported ULTxSwitching Band Pair" in Table table_index in TS 38.508-2 [8].
