The MS maximum output power shall be as defined in 3GPP TS 45.05, subclause 4.1.1, first table, according to its power class, with a tolerance of ±2 dB under normal conditions; 3GPP TS 45.05, subclause 4.1.1, first table. From R99 onwards, the MS maximum output power in an uplink multislot configuration shall be as defined in 3GPP TS 05.05 subclause 4.1.1, sixth table, according to its power class, with a tolerance of ±3 dB under normal conditions; 3GPP TS 45.05, subclause 4.1.1, first and sixth table. In case the MS supports the same maximum output power in an uplink multislot configuration as it supports for single slot uplink operation, the tolerance shall be ±2 dB.

13.17.3b.4.1 Method of test for equipment with a permanent or temporary antenna connector

13.17.3b.4.1.1 Initial conditions

The test shall be run under the use of EC-PDTCH/MCS-1/16,CC4 with an ARFCN in the mid ARFCN range.

The MS shall be operated with its highest number of uplink slots.

The Test Mode defined in 3GPP TS 44.14 (subclause 5.4) will be utilised.

Mode (a) transmitting pseudo-random data sequence in RLC data blocks;

The SS controls the power level by setting the concerned time slot’s power control parameter ALPHA () to 0 and GAMMA_TN (CH) to the desired power level in the Packet Uplink Assignment message (Closed Loop Control, see 3GPP TS 45.08, clause B.2) GPRS_ MS TXPWR_MAX_CCH / MS TXPWR_MAX_CCH is set to the maximum value supported by the Power Class of the Mobile under test. For DCS 1 800 mobile stations the POWER_OFFSET parameter is set to 6 dB.

13.17.3b.4.1.2 Procedure

a) Measurement of normal burst transmitter output power.

The SS takes power measurement samples evenly distributed over the duration of one burst with a sampling rate of at least 2/T, where T is the bit duration. The samples are identified in time with respect to the modulation on the burst. The SS identifies the centre of the useful 147 transmitted bits, i.e. the transition from bit 13 to bit 14 of the midamble, as the timing reference.

The transmitter output power is calculated as the average of the samples over the 147 useful bits. This is also used as the 0 dB reference for the power/time template.

b) Measurement of normal burst power/time relationship

The array of power samples measured in a) are referenced in time to the centre of the useful transmitted bits and in power to the 0 dB reference, both identified in a).

c) Steps a) to b) are repeated on each timeslot within the multislot configuration with the MS commanded to operate on each of the nominal output power levels defined in tables 13.17.3b-1, 13.17.3b-2 and 13.17.3b-3, and in step a) only on one nominal output power higher than supported by the MS.

NOTE: Power control levels 0 and 1 are excluded for bands other than DCS 1800 and PCS 1900 since these power control levels can not be set by GAMMA_TN.

d) The SS commands the MS to the maximum power control level supported by the MS and steps a) to b) are repeated on each timeslot within the multislot configuration for ARFCN in the Low and High ranges.

e) The SS commands the MS to the maximum power control level in the first timeslot allocated within the multislot configuration and to the minimum power control level in the second timeslot allocated. Any further timeslots allocated are to be set to the maximum power control level. Steps a) to b) and corresponding measurements on each timeslot within the multislot configuration are repeated.

f) Measurement of access burst transmitter output power

The SS causes the MS to generate an EC Access Burst on an ARFCN in the Mid ARFCN range, this could be either by a cell re-selection or a new request for radio resource. In the case of a cell re-selection procedure the Power Level indicated in the PSI3 message is the maximum power control level supported by the MS. In the case of an Access Burst the MS shall use the Power Level indicated in the GPRS_MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH parameter. If the power class of the MS is DCS 1 800 Class 3 and the Power Level is indicated by the MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH parameter, the MS shall also use the POWER_OFFSET parameter.

The SS takes power measurement samples evenly distributed over the duration of the access burst as described in a). However, in this case the SS identifies the centre of the useful bits of the burst by identifying the transition from the last bit of the synch sequence. The centre of the burst is then five data bits prior to this point and is used as the timing reference.

The transmitter output power is calculated as the average of the samples over the 87 useful bits of the burst. This is also used as the 0 dB reference for the power/time template.

g) Measurement of access burst power/time relationship

The array of power samples measured in f) is referenced in time to the centre of the useful transmitted bits and in power to the 0 dB reference, both identified in f).

h) Depending on the method used in step f) to cause the MS to send an EC Access Burst, the SS sends either a PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER along with power control level set to 10 in PSI3 parameter GPRS_MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH or it changes the (Packet) System Information elements (GPRS_)MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH and for DCS 1 800 the POWER_OFFSET on the serving cell PBCCH/BCCH in order to limit the MS transmit power on the Access Burst to power control level 10 (+23 dBm for bands other than DCS 1800 and PCS 1900 or +10 dBm for DCS 1 800 and PCS 1 900) and then steps f) to g) are repeated.

j) Steps a) to h) are repeated under extreme test conditions (annex 1, TC2.2) except that the repeats at step c) are only performed for power control level 10 and the minimum nominal output power level supported by the MS.

13.17.3b.5 Test requirements

a) The transmitter output power, under every combination of normal and extreme test conditions, for normal bursts and access bursts, at each frequency and for each power control level applicable to the MS power class, shall be at the relevant level shown in table 13.17.3b-1, table 13.17.3b-2 or table 13.17.3b-3 within the tolerances also shown in table 13.17.3b-1, table 13.17.3b-2 or table 13.17.3b-3.

e) When the transmitter is commanded to a power control level outside of the capability corresponding to the type and power class of the MS as stated by the manufacturer, then the transmitter output power shall be within the tolerances for the closest power control level corresponding to the type and power class as stated by the manufacturer.

f) The power/time relationship of the measured samples for access bursts shall be within the limits of the power time template of figure 13-7-3 at each frequency, under every combination of normal and extreme test conditions and at each power control level measured.
