7.3 Static Reference Sensitivity Level

3GPP51.021Base Station System (BSS) equipment specificationRadio aspectsRelease 17TS

7.3.1 Test Purpose

The static reference sensitivity level of the receiver is the level of signal at the receiver input with a standard test signal at which the receiver will produce after demodulation and channel decoding data with a Frame Erasure Ratio (FER), Residual Bit Error Ratio (RBER) Bit Error Ratio (BER) or Block Error Ratio (BLER) better than or equal to that specified for a specific logical channel type under static propagation conditions.

7.3.2 Test Case

The test shall be performed for the specified ARFCNs. As a minimum, one time slot shall be tested on one TRX.

All TRXs in the BSS configuration shall be on and transmitting full power in all time slots.

For circuit switched channels, except ECSD with slow frequency hopping disabled and AMR-WB, and 8-PSK modulated AMR and AMR-WB channels, a test signal with normal GSM modulation shall be applied to the BSS RX antenna connector, with a power specified in table 7.3-1, on a chosen time slot.

For packet switched channels, for ECSD with slow frequency hopping disabled and AMR-WB, and 8-PSK modulated AMR and AMR-WB channels, a test signal with normal GSM modulation shall be applied to the BSS RX antenna connector, with a power specified in table 7.3-2, on a chosen time slot. When testing the packet switched channels with PAN included the input signal power specified in tables 7.3-3 and 7.3-4 shall be applied.

For BTS types other than normal, the test signal input level shall be increased by the values in table 7.3-5.

The two adjacent time slots shall have a level 50 dB above reference sensitivity requirement specified in table 7.3-1. The content of this signal shall allow the receiver of the TRX under test to either be activated or to detect valid GMSK modulated GSM signals (as specified in the minimum requirement) on the adjacent timeslots for the duration of the test. No signal should be applied during the remaining timeslots.

If Synthesizer Slow Frequency Hopping is supported by the BSS, the test shall be repeated with the following changes:

a) The BSS shall be hopping over the maximum range and number of ARFCNs possible for the test environment and which are available in the BSS configuration.

b) The test signal should only be applied for the timeslot under test; no signal should be applied during the remaining timeslots.

The input signal before channel encoding in the BSSTE shall be compared with the signal which is obtained from the BSS receiver after channel decoding.

7.3.3 Void

7.3.4 Conformance requirement

Test Environment:

Normal.

Extreme Temperature: TCH/FS only, for one time slot of one transceiver.

Extreme power supply: TCH/FS only, for one time slot of one transceiver.

NOTE: tests under extreme power supply are carried out at extreme temperature limits.

Minimum Requirement

For tests with SFH disabled, the tests shall be performed at RF channels B, M, and T. An exception applies for EC-channels (EC-PDTCH/U, EC-PACCH/U and EC-RACH) where the test need only be performed at RF channel M. For tests with SFH enabled, the tests shall be performed with the range of hopping frequencies centred around M.

The error performance given in table 7.3-6 shall be met for all logical channel types supported by the BSS. If supported, the error performance of PDTCH channels with PAN included and PAN shall be also be met.

For all tests where a signal is present on adjacent timeslots, the BTS shall detect valid GMSK modulated GSM signals with an RXQUAL of 6 or less for the duration of the test on the adjacent time slots.

NOTE 1: The performance requirements for TCH/WFS inband signalling, SID_UPDATE and RATSCCH are the same as those given for TCH/AFS. It is sufficient to test inband signalling, SID_UPDATE and RATSCCH requirements for only one of the channel types TCH/AFS and TCH/WFS.

NOTE 2: The performance requirements for MCS-1 to 4 and MCS-5 to 9 apply to BTTI & RTTI without PAN included. For MCS-1 to 3 and MCS-5 to 8 the requirements also apply for BTTI&RTTI with PAN.

NOTE 3: The performance requirements for all respective PDTCH type apply to BTTI & RTTI with or without PAN included.

NOTE 4: Applies for all supported Coverage Classes (CC1 to CC4) using MCS-1. For EC-PDTCH/MCS-2 to MCS-4 the requirements for PDTCH/MCS-2 to MCS-4 and similarly for EC-PDTCH/MCS-6 to MCS-9 the requirements for PDTCH/MCS-6 to MCS-9 apply assuming BTTI, no PAN and no receive diversity.

NOTE 5: Applies for all supported Coverage Classes (CC1 to CC5).

NOTE 6: For the random access message carrying 30 information bits (see 3GPP TS 45.003) sent using the Extended AB burst format (see 3GPP TS 45.002)

NOTE: The value of a in table 7.3-6 may be between 1 and 1.6, but should be the same for both occurrences.
