7.4 Multipath Reference Sensitivity Level

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

7.4.1 Test Purpose

The multipath 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 multipath propagation conditions.

7.4.2 Test Case

As a minimum, one time slot shall be tested on one TRX.

A test signal with normal GSM modulation shall be applied to the BSS RX antenna connector through a Multipath Fading Simulator as described in annex B.1, on the chosen time slot. When testing 16-QAM, 32-QAM (both normal and higher symbol rate) and QPSK modulated channels, TSC-6 shall be used for the wanted signal. When testing channels in VAMOS mode, two input wanted signals VAMOS sub-channel 1 and VAMOS sub-channel 2 shall be connected to each receiver antenna connector via a Multipath Fading Simulator such that the multipath fading propagation conditions between the input signals and the receiver antennas are uncorrelated. Both VAMOS sub-channels shall be GMSK modulated and encoded independently according to the channel type in table 7.4-2. Independent pseudo random bit streams shall be assumed for both VAMOS sub-channels.

For EC-channels without assigned Overlaid CDMA subchannels and where EGPRS requirements do not apply, the input signal shall be connected to each of the two RX antenna connectors via Multipath Fading Simulators such that the multipath fading propagation conditions between the receiver antennas are uncorrelated.
When testing EC-channels when Overlaid CDMA is applied, input wanted signals corresponding to two or four Overlaid CDMA sub-channels respectively shall be connected to the receiver antenna connector via a Multipath Fading Simulator such that the multipath fading propagation conditions between the input signals at the receiver antenna connector are uncorrelated. All Overlaid CDMA sub-channels shall be GMSK modulated. In case Overlaid CDMA is applied to a channel configuration of 2 subchannels, the first subchannel is assigned Overlaid CDMA code 0 and the second subchannel is assigned Overlaid CDMA code 1. In case Overlaid CDMA is applied to a channel configuration of 4 subchannels and SCPIR_UL setting equal to 3, 6, 9 dB, the first (weakest) subchannel is assigned Overlaid CDMA code 0, the second (second weakest) subchannel Overlaid CDMA code 1, the third (second strongest) subchannel Overlaid CDMA code 2 and the fourth (strongest) subchannel Overlaid CDMA code 3. Overlaid CDMA codes are specified in 3GPP TS 45.002. Only subchannel 1 needs to be measured. The subchannels whose performance is not considered use EC-PDTCH / EC-PACCH in CC2, whilst subchannel 1 under test uses the supported channel types (EC-PDTCH / EC-PACCH) in table 7.4-2b. Independent pseudo random bit streams shall be assumed as input to the encoder for each Overlaid CDMA sub-channel.

For circuit switched channels, except ECSD and AMR-WB, and 8-PSK modulated AMR and AMR-WB channels and channels in VAMOS mode, the average signal level at the receiver antenna connector of a BTS shall be as specified in table 7.4-1.

For packet switched channels (GPRS, EGPRS and EGPRS2), for ECSD, for AMR-WB channels, and for 8-PSK modulated AMR and AMR-WB channels and channels in VAMOS mode, the average signal level at the receiver antenna connector of a normal BTS for which the reference performance shall be met is specified in table 7.4-2, according to the type of channel and the propagation condition. For channels in VAMOS mode, VAMOS sub-channel 2 shall be at the signal level in table 7.4-2 and VAMOS sub-channel 1 shall be at an input level relative to VAMOS sub-channel 2 according to SCPIR_UL (see clause 3.1). Reference performance shall be met for both VAMOS sub-channels at these levels. For EC-channels the input signal shall be at signal level according to table 7.4-2a when Overlaid CDMA is not applied, and the input signal level of subchannel 1 and the SCPIR_UL for the other subchannel(s) shall be according to table 7.4-2b when Overlaid CDMA is applied.

For the TI5 propagation profile used for testing GSM 900, ER-GSM 900 and DCS 1800 pico BTS P1 and Local Area multicarrier BTS the column headed "TU50 (no FH)" shall be used. For BTS types other than normal, the levels specified in tables 7.4-2, 7.4-2a and 7.4-2b shall be increased by the values specified in table 7.4-3. VAMOS mode is not applicable to pico BTS.

In all cases, the average signal level at the receiver shall be measured by taking the mean powers of the sum of the individual paths.

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

For tests with TU50 (ideal SFH):

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. An exception applies to EC-channels (EC-PDTCH/U, EC-PACCH/U) where the tests shall be performed with the range of hopping frequencies centred around RF channel M.

For TU1.2 (noSFH), TU50 (no SFH), RA250 (no SFH), HT100 (no SFH) and TI5 (no SFH):

If slow frequency hopping is supported by the BSS, it shall be disabled. The test shall be performed for RF channels B, M, and T except for EC-channels (EC-PDTCH/U, EC-PACCH/U and EC-RACH) where the test needs only to be performed at RF channel M. A test signal with GMSK modulation shall also be applied to the RX antenna connector on the two adjacent time slots at a static power level 50 dB above the reference sensitivity requirement specified in table 7.4-1 of the chosen time slot over the useful part of the burst as defined in 3GPP TS 45.005 for the MS. 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.

For channels in VAMOS mode a time and frequency offset shall be applied to VAMOS sub-channel 1 relative to VAMOS sub-channel 2. The offsets shall be applied burst-wise and taken from a sample sequence that conforms to the probability distribution in Eq 7.4.2a for the time offset and Eq 7.4.2b for the frequency offset, where and are given in the table below:

Table 7.4-0: Probability distribution parameters.

(Eq 7.4.2a)

(Eq 7.4.2b)

NOTE: The precise sample sequence for each offset has been left for test equipment manufacturers to specify.

For EC-channels when Overlaid CDMA is applied, Eq. 7.4.2c defines each subchannel’s probability distribution of the frequency offset x where = 30 Hz.

(Eq. 7.4.2c)

The frequency offset is generated separately for each subchannel and is constant within a burst with the same offset applied in all blind physical layer transmissions of the Overlaid CDMA subchannels according to the applicable CC and may be selected in an implementation dependent way such that the above probabilities are satisfied.

NOTE 1: Logical channels shall not be tested for the propagation conditions marked as (*).

NOTE 2: For GSM 400 the speeds shall be doubled (e.g. TU50 shall be TU100), and for GSM 700 the speeds shall be multiplied by 1,2 (e.g. TU50 shall be TU60).

NOTE 3: Performance is specified at 30% BLER for those cases marked as (**)

***NOTE 4: PDTCH/CS-1 to 4 and ECSD are not applicable for MXM850 and MXM1900

NOTE 5: PDTCH/UBS-5 to 12 requirements assume that two-antenna receive diversity is used. The input signals shall use higher symbol rate and be generated with the applicable pulse-shaping filter.

NOTE 6: Only BTTI without PAN need to be tested.

NOTE 7: EC-PDTCH channels in CC1 using MCS-2 to MCS-4 and EC-PDTCH channels in CC1 using MCS-6 to MCS-9 need not be tested if corresponding EGPRS channels with the same MCSs have been tested.

NOTE 8: 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 1: For GSM 400 the speeds shall be doubled (e.g. TU50 shall be TU100) and for GSM 700 the speeds shall be multiplied by 1,2 (e.g. tU50 shall be TU60).

NOTE 2: 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 3: No requirement apply for wanted signal narrow.

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: No requirement apply for wanted signal narrow.

NOTE 3: 30% BLER requirement apply for wanted signal narrow.

The value of a in tables 7.4-4 and 7.4-5 shall be between 1 and 1.6, and shall be the same for both occurrences in each propagation condition; it may be different for different propagation conditions.

NOTE: For each TU50 (ideal SFH), sufficient decorrelation may be achieved with 4 frequencies spaced over 5 MHz.

7.4.5 Requirement Reference

3GPP TS 45.005 subclause 6.2.
