maximum amount of timing change in one adjustment, the minimum and the maximum adjustment rate shall be within
the limits defined in clause 7.20.2.

The following sequence of events shall be used to verify that the requirements are met.

The test sequence shall be carried out in RRC_CONNECTED:

transmission and the test system shall measure the UE transmit timing offset (nTs) and verify that it is within Te
(nTs ≤ NTA×TS ± 80×TS) with respect to the first detected path (in time) of the corresponding downlink frame of
NB-IoT cell 1.

- if n < 0, by +(144 – |n|)TS compared to that in (a).

- if n ≥ 0, by -(144 – |n|)TS compared to that in (a).

The timing adjustment is performed monotonically in multiple steps of |∆T| ≤ 9×TS per NPDCCH period (∆T is to
be defined in the test procedure) until the above required total timing change is achieved, during which no grant
is transmitted for the UE.c) Immediately after (b), the test system sends NPDCCH including uplink grant for
NPUSCH transmission and immediately after receiving NPUSCH the test system repeatedly sends NPDCCH
including uplink grant for NPUSCH transmission until the UE transmit timing offset is within NTA×TS ± 80×TS
with respect to the first detected path (in time) of the corresponding downlink frame of cell 1. The test system
shall verify that the adjustment step size and the adjustment rate shall be according to the requirements in
clause 7.20.2 until the UE transmit timing offset is within NTA×TS ± 80×TS with respect to the first detected path
(in time) of the corresponding downlink frame of cell 1.

A.7.1.26.2 Test Requirements


For parameters specified in Tables A.7.1.26.1-1 and A.7.1.26.1-2, the initial transmit timing accuracy, the maximum
amount of timing change in one adjustment, the minimum and the maximum adjustment rate shall be within the limits
defined in clause 7.26.2. The UE shall not adjust the the transmission timing autonomously during an ongoing repetition
period. Adjustments can only be done at the end of a last subframe in a repetition period.
Release 15 162 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

The following sequence of events shall be used to verify that the requirements are met.

For the 10MHz channel bandwidth, the test sequence shall be carried out in RRC_CONNECTED for both non-DRX
(for Test1) and DRX with a cycle length of 80 ms or a cycle length of 640 ms (Tests 2 and 3, respectively):

a) After a connection is set up with the cell, the test system shall verify that the UE transmit timing offset is within
NTA×TS ± 40×TS with respect to the first detected path (in time) of the corresponding downlink frame of cell 1.

b) The test system adjusts the downlink transmit timing for the cell by +64TS (for Test 1 and Test 2) or +32TS
(for Test 3) compared to that in (a).

c) The test system shall verify that for Test 1 the adjustment step size and the adjustment rate shall be according to
the requirements in clause 7.26.2 until the UE transmit timing offset is within NTA×TS ± 40×TS with respect to
the first detected path (in time) of the corresponding downlink frame of cell 1. Skip this step for Test 2 and Test
3.

d) The test system shall verify that the UE transmit timing offset stays within N TA×TS ± 40×TS with respect to the
first detected path (in time) of the corresponding downlink frame of cell 1. For test 2 and test 3 the UE transmit
timing offset shall be verified for the first transmission in the DRX cycle immediately after DL timing
adjustment.

A.7.2 UE Timing Advance


A.7.2.1 E-UTRAN FDD – UE Timing Advance Adjustment Accuracy Test

A.7.2.1.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of the test is to verify E-UTRAN FDD Timing Advance adjustment accuracy requirements, defined in
clause 7.3.2.2, in an AWGN model.

The test parameters are given in tables A.7.2.1.1-1, A.7.2.1.1-2, and A.7.2.1.1-3. The test consists of two successive
time periods, with time duration of T1 and T2 respectively. In each time period, timing advance commands are sent to
the UE and Sounding Reference Signals (SRS), as specified in table A.7.2.1.1-3, are sent from the UE and received by
the test equipment. By measuring the reception of the SRS, the transmit timing, and hence the timing advance
adjustment accuracy, can be measured.

During time period T1, the test equipment shall send one message with a Timing Advance Command MAC Control
Element, as specified in Clause 6.1.3.5 in TS 36.321. The Timing Advance Command value shall be set to 31, which
according to Clause 4.2.3 in TS 36.213 results in zero adjustment of the Timing Advance. In this way, a reference value
for the timing advance used by the UE is established.

During time period T2, the test equipment shall send a sequence of messages with Timing Advance Command MAC
Control Elements, with Timing Advance Command value specified in table A.7.2.1.1-2. This value shall result in
changes of the timing advance used by the UE, and the accuracy of the change shall then be measured, using the SRS
sent from the UE.

As specified in Clause 7.3.2.1, the UE adjusts its uplink timing at sub-frame n+6 for a timing advance command
received in sub-frame n. This delay must be taken into account when measuring the timing advance adjustment
accuracy, via the SRS sent from the UE.

The UE Time Alignment Timer, described in Clause 5.2 in TS 36.321, shall be configured so that it does not expire in
the duration of the test.

A.7.2.4 E-UTRAN FDD – UE Timing Advance Adjustment Accuracy Test


for SCell in sTAG

A.7.2.4.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of the test is to verify E-UTRAN FDD Timing Advance adjustment accuracy requirements, defined in
clause 7.3.2.2, in an AWGN model.

The test parameters are given in tables A.7.2.4.1-1, A.7.2.4.1-2, and A.7.2.4.1-3. For this test two cells are used. Cell 1
is PCell and Cell 2 is SCell. PCell is in the primary Timing Advance Group (pTAG) and SCell is in the secondary
Timing Advance Group (sTAG). The test consists of two successive time periods, with time duration of T1 and T2
respectively. In each time period, timing advance commands for sTAG are sent to the UE and Sounding Reference
Signals (SRS), as specified in table A.7.2.4.1-3, are sent from the UE and received by the test equipment. By measuring
the reception of the SRS, the transmit timing, and hence the timing advance adjustment accuracy, can be measured for
SCell in sTAG.

During time period T1, the test equipment shall send one message with a Timing Advance Command MAC Control
Element for sTAG, as specified in Clause 6.1.3.5 in TS 36.321. The Timing Advance Command value shall be set to 31,
which according to Clause 4.2.3 in TS 36.213 results in zero adjustment of the Timing Advance. In this way, a reference
value for the timing advance for sTAG used by the UE is established.

During time period T2, the test equipment shall send a sequence of messages with Timing Advance Command MAC
Control Elements for sTAG, with Timing Advance Command value specified in table A.7.2.4.1-2. This value shall result
in changes of the timing advance for sTAG used by the UE, and the accuracy of the change shall then be measured,
using the SRS sent from the UE.

As specified in Clause 7.3.2.1, the UE adjusts its uplink timing at sub-frame n+6 for a timing advance command
received in sub-frame n. This delay must be taken into account when measuring the timing advance adjustment
accuracy, via the SRS sent from the UE.

The UE Time Alignment Timer, described in Clause 5.2 in TS 36.321, shall be configured so that it does not expire in
the duration of the test.

A.7.2.5 E-UTRAN TDD – UE Timing Advance Adjustment Accuracy Test


for Scell in sTAG

A.7.2.5.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of the test is to verify E-UTRAN TDD Timing Advance adjustment accuracy requirements, defined in
clause 7.3.2.2, in an AWGN model.

The test parameters are given in tables A.7.2.5.1-1, A.7.2.5.1-2, and A.7.2.5.1-3. For this test two cells are used. Cell 1
is PCell and Cell 2 is SCell. PCell is in the primary Timing Advance Group (pTAG) and SCell is in the secondary
Timing Advance Group (sTAG). The test consists of two successive time periods, with time duration of T1 and T2
respectively. In each time period, timing advance commands for sTAG are sent to the UE and Sounding Reference
Signals (SRS), as specified in table A.7.2.5.1-3, are sent from the UE and received by the test equipment, but only for
SCell. By measuring the reception of the SRS, the transmit timing, and hence the timing advance adjustment accuracy,
can be measured for SCell in sTAG.

During time period T1, the test equipment shall send one message with a Timing Advance Command MAC Control
Element for sTAG, as specified in Clause 6.1.3.5 in TS 36.321. The Timing Advance Command value shall be set to 31,
which according to Clause 4.2.3 in TS 36.213 results in zero adjustment of the Timing Advance. In this way, a reference
value for the timing advance used by the UE is established.

During time period T2, the test equipment shall send a sequence of messages with Timing Advance Command MAC
Control Elements for sTAG, with Timing Advance Command value specified in table A.7.2.5.1-2. This value shall result
in changes of the timing advance on SCell used by the UE, and the accuracy of the change shall then be measured,
using the SRS sent from the UE.

As specified in Clause 7.3.2.1, the UE adjusts its uplink timing at sub-frame n+6 for a timing advance command
received in sub-frame n. This delay must be taken into account when measuring the timing advance adjustment
accuracy, via the SRS sent from the UE.

The UE Time Alignment Timer, described in Clause 5.2 in TS 36.321, shall be configured so that it does not expire in
the duration of the test.

Cat-M1 UE in CEModeA

A.7.2.6.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of the test is to verify E-UTRAN FDD Timing Advance adjustment accuracy requirements for Cat-M1 UE
configured with CEModeA, defined in clause 7.3.2.2, in an AWGN model.

The test parameters are given in tables A.7.2.6.1-1, A.7.2.6.1-2, and A.7.2.6.1-3. The test consists of two successive
time periods, with time duration of T1 and T2 respectively. In each time period, timing advance commands are sent to
the UE and Sounding Reference Signals (SRS), as specified in table A.7.2.1.1-3, are sent from the UE and received by
Release 15 173 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

the test equipment. By measuring the reception of the SRS, the transmit timing, and hence the timing advance
adjustment accuracy, can be measured.

During time period T1, the test equipment shall send one message with a Timing Advance Command MAC Control
Element, as specified in Clause 6.1.3.5 in TS 36.321. The Timing Advance Command value shall be set to 31, which
according to Clause 4.2.3 in TS 36.213 results in zero adjustment of the Timing Advance. In this way, a reference value
for the timing advance used by the UE is established.

During time period T2, the test equipment shall send a sequence of messages with Timing Advance Command MAC
Control Elements, with Timing Advance Command value specified in table A.7.2.6.1-2. This value shall result in
changes of the timing advance used by the UE, and the accuracy of the change shall then be measured, using the SRS
sent from the UE.

As specified in Clause 7.3.2.1, the UE adjusts its uplink timing at sub-frame n+6 for a timing advance command
received in sub-frame n. This delay must be taken into account when measuring the timing advance adjustment
accuracy, via the SRS sent from the UE.

The UE Time Alignment Timer, described in Clause 5.2 in TS 36.321, shall be configured so that it does not expire in
the duration of the test.

A.7.2.9 HD-FDD UE Timing Advance Adjustment Accuracy Test for UE


Category NB1 in Standalone Mode under Enhance Coverage

A.7.2.9.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of the test is to verify E-UTRAN Timing Advance adjustment accuracy requirements for UE category NB1
in enhanced coverage, defined in clause 7.22.2.2, in an AWGN model.

The test parameters are given in tables A.7.2.9.1-1 and A.7.2.9.1-2. The test consists of two successive time periods,
with time duration of T1 and T2 respectively. In each time period, timing advance commands are sent to the UE and the
UE is scheduled in every uplink subframe to transmit NPUSCH, which is received by the test equipment. By measuring
the reception of the NPUSCH, the transmit timing, and hence the timing advance adjustment accuracy, can be
measured.

During time period T1, the test equipment shall send one message with a Timing Advance Command MAC Control
Element, as specified in Clause 6.1.3.5 in TS 36.321. The Timing Advance Command value shall be set to 31, which
according to Clause 16.1.2 in TS 36.213 results in zero adjustment of the Timing Advance. In this way, a reference
value for the timing advance used by the UE is established.

During time period T2, the test equipment shall send a sequence of messages with Timing Advance Command MAC
Control Elements, with Timing Advance Command value specified in table A.7.2.9.1-2. This value shall result in
changes of the timing advance used by the UE, and the accuracy of the change shall then be measured, using the
NPUSCH sent from the UE.

As specified in Clause 7.22.2.1, the UE adjusts its uplink timing at sub-frame n+12 for a timing advance command
received in sub-frame n, where sub-frame n refers to the last subframe in the repetition period in which the MAC
control element containing timing advance command was received. In addition, the UE shall not apply a TA command
during an uplink repetition period. The timing advance adjustment accuracy is verified via the uplink transmission of
NPUSCH carrying ACK/NACK response to the NPDSCH carrying TA command. k0 in ACK/NACK resource filed in
DCI is set as 13.

The UE Time Alignment Timer, described in Clause 5.2 in TS 36.321, shall be configured so that it does not expire in
the duration of the test.

A.7.2.11 E-UTRAN HD-FDD UE Timing Advance Adjustment Accuracy Test


in CEModeB

A.7.2.11.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of the test is to verify E-UTRAN HD-FDD Timing Advance adjustment accuracy requirements for Cat-M1
UE configured with CEModeB, defined in clause 7.3.2.2, in an AWGN model.

The test parameters are given in tables A.7.2.11.1-1and A.7.2.11.1-2. The test consists of two successive time periods,
with time duration of T1 and T2 respectively. In each time period, timing advance commands are sent to the UE and
Release 15 183 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

PUSCH are sent from the UE and received by the test equipment. By measuring the reception of the PUSCH, the
transmit timing, and hence the timing advance adjustment accuracy, can be measured.

During time period T1, the test equipment shall send one message with a Timing Advance Command MAC Control
Element, as specified in Clause 6.1.3.5 in TS 36.321. The Timing Advance Command value shall be set to 31, which
according to Clause 4.2.3 in TS 36.213 results in zero adjustment of the Timing Advance. In this way, a reference value
for the timing advance used by the UE is established.

During time period T2, the test equipment shall send a sequence of messages with Timing Advance Command MAC
Control Elements, with Timing Advance Command value specified in table A.7.2.11.1-2. This value shall result in
changes of the timing advance used by the UE, and the accuracy of the change shall then be measured, using PUSCH
sent from the UE.

As specified in Clause 7.3.2.1, the UE adjusts its uplink timing at sub-frame n+6 for a timing advance command
received in sub-frame n. This delay must be taken into account when measuring the timing advance adjustment
accuracy, via PUSCH sent from the UE.

The UE Time Alignment Timer, described in Clause 5.2 in TS 36.321, shall be configured so that it does not expire in
the duration of the test.

A.7.3 Radio Link Monitoring


In the following section, any uplink signal transmitted by the UE is used for detecting the In-/Out-of-Sync state of the
UE. In terms of measurement, the uplink signal is verified on the basis of the UE output power:

For intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation, transmit OFF power is measured as the mean power per component
carrier.
Release 15 187 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

For UE with multiple transmit antennas, transmit OFF power is measured as the mean power at each transmit connector.

- UE output power higher than Transmit OFF power -50 dBm (as defined in TS 36.101 [5]) means uplink signal

- UE output power equal to or less than Transmit OFF power -50 dBm (as defined in TS 36.101 [5]) means no
uplink signal.

A.7.3.1 E-UTRAN FDD Radio Link Monitoring Test for Out-of-sync

A.7.3.1.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE properly detects the out of sync and in sync for the purpose of
monitoring downlink radio link quality of the PCell. This test will partly verify the E-UTRAN FDD radio link
monitoring requirements in clause 7.6.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.1.1-1, A.7.3.1.1-2 and A.7.3.1.1-3 below. There is one cell (cell 1), which
is the active cell, in the test. The test consists of three successive time periods, with time duration of T1, T2 and T3
respectively. Figure A.7.3.1.1-1 shows the variation of the downlink SNR in the active cell to emulate out-of-sync and
in-sync states. Prior to the start of the time duration T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized to cell 1. The UE shall be
configured for periodic CQI reporting in PUCCH 1-0 mode with a reporting periodicity of 2 ms.

A.7.3.5 E-UTRAN FDD Radio Link Monitoring Test for Out-of-sync in DRX

A.7.3.5.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE properly detects the out of sync and in sync for the purpose of
monitoring downlink radio link quality of the PCell when DRX is used. This test will partly verify the E-UTRAN FDD
radio link monitoring requirements in clause 7.6.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.5.1-1, A.7.3.5.1-2, A.7.3.5.1-3 and A.7.3.5.1-4. There is one cell (cell 1),
which is the active cell, in the test. The test consists of three successive time periods, with time duration of T1, T2 and
T3 respectively. Figure A.7.3.5.1-1 shows the variation of the downlink SNR in the active cell to emulate out-of-sync
and in-sync states. Prior to the start of the time duration T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized to cell 1. The UE shall
be configured for periodic CQI reporting in PUCCH 1-0 mode with a reporting periodicity of 2 ms. In the test, DRX

configuration is enabled and DRX inactivity timer has already been expired, i.e. UE tries to decode PDCCH and to send
periodic CQI during the period when On-duration timer is running. Time alignment timers shall be set to “infinity” so
that UL timing alignment is maintained during the test.

The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE properly detects the out of sync and in sync for the purpose of
monitoring downlink radio link quality of the PCell when DRX is used. This test will partly verify the E-UTRAN FDD
radio link monitoring requirements in clause 7.6.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.6.1-1, A.7.3.6.1-2, A.7.3.6.1-3 and A.7.3.6.1-4. There is one cell (cell 1),
which is the active cell, in the test. The test consists of five successive time periods, with time duration of T1, T2, T3,
T4 and T5 respectively. Figure A.7.3.6.1-1 shows the variation of the downlink SNR in the active cell to emulate out-of-
sync and in-sync states. Prior to the start of the time duration T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized to cell 1. The UE
shall be configured for periodic CQI reporting in PUCCH 1-0 mode with a reporting periodicity of 2 ms. In the test,
DRX configuration is enabled and DRX inactivity timer has already been expired, i.e. UE tries to decode PDCCH and
to send periodic CQI during the period when On-duration timer is running. Time alignment timers shall be set to
“infinity” so that UL timing alignment is maintained during the test.

A.7.3.6.2 Test Requirements

The UE behaviour in each test during time durations T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 shall be as follows:

During the period from time point A to time point F (1120 ms after the start of time duration T5) the UE shall transmit
uplink signal at least once every DRX cycle, in the On-duration part of the cycle in the subframe according to the
configured CQI reporting mode (PUCCH 1-0).

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

A.7.3.7 E-UTRAN TDD Radio Link Monitoring Test for Out-of-sync in DRX

A.7.3.7.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE properly detects the out of sync and in sync for the purpose of
monitoring downlink radio link quality of the PCell when DRX is used. This test will partly verify the E-UTRAN TDD
radio link monitoring requirements in clause 7.6.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.7.1-1, A.7.3.7.1-2, A.7.3.7.1-3 and A.7.3.7.1-4. There is one cell (cell 1),
which is the active cell, in the test. The test consists of three successive time periods, with time duration of T1, T2 and
T3 respectively. Figure A.7.3.7.1-1 shows the variation of the downlink SNR in the active cell to emulate out-of-sync
and in-sync states. Prior to the start of the time duration T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized to cell 1. The UE shall
be configured for periodic CQI reporting in PUCCH 1-0 mode with a reporting periodicity of 1 ms. In the test, DRX
configuration is enabled and DRX inactivity timer has already been expired, i.e. UE tries to decode PDCCH and to send
periodic CQI during the period when On-duration timer is running. Time alignment timers shall be set to “infinity” so
that UL timing alignment is maintained during the test.

A.7.3.11.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE properly detects the out of sync and in sync for the purpose of
monitoring downlink radio link quality of the serving cell under time domain measurement resource restriction when
CRS assistance information is not provided. This test will partly verify the E-UTRAN FDD radio link monitoring
requirements in clause 7.6.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.11.1-1 and A.7.3.11.1-2 below. There are two cells in the test: Cell 1 is the
Active cell and Cell 2 is the Neighbor cell. The test consists of five successive time periods, with time duration of T1,
T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. Figure A.7.3.11.1-1 shows the variation of the downlink SNR in the active cell to
emulate out-of-sync and in-sync states. Prior to the start of the time duration T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized to
cell 1. The UE shall be configured for periodic CQI reporting in PUCCH 1-0 mode with a reporting periodicity of 2 ms.

Non-MBSFN ABS pattern is configured in Cell 2 in this test. The UE is configured by higher layers with a time domain
measurement restriction pattern for performing serving cell measurements. The patterns shall be configured prior to the
start of T1.

A.7.3.14.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE properly detects the out of sync and in sync for the purpose of
monitoring downlink radio link quality of the serving cell under time domain measurement resource restriction when
CRS assistance information is not provided. This test will partly verify the E-UTRAN TDD radio link monitoring
requirements in clause 7.6.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.14.1-1 and A.7.3.14.1-2 below. The test consists of three successive time
periods, with time duration of T1, T2 and T3 respectively. Figure A.7.3.14.1-1 shows the variation of the downlink SNR
in the active cell to emulate out-of-sync and in-sync states. Prior to the start of the time duration T1, the UE shall be
fully synchronized to Cell 1. The UE shall be configured for periodic CQI reporting in PUCCH 1-0 mode with a
reporting periodicity of 2 ms.

MBSFN ABS pattern is configured in the aggressor Cell 2 in this test. The UE is configured by higher layers with a
time domain measurement restriction pattern for performing serving cell measurements. The patterns shall be
configured prior to the start of T1.

A.7.3.17 E-UTRAN FDD Radio Link Monitoring Test for Out-of-sync under
Time Domain Measurement Resource Restriction with CRS Assistance
Information and Non-MBSFN ABS

A.7.3.17.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE properly detects the out of sync and in sync for the purpose of
monitoring downlink radio link quality of the PCell under time domain measurement resource restriction with CRS
assistance information. This test will partly verify the E-UTRAN FDD radio link monitoring requirements in clause 7.6.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.17.1-1 and A.7.3.17.1-2 below. There are three active cells in the test: Cell
1 is the PCell cell and Cell 2 and 3 are the neighbour cells. The test consists of three successive time periods, with time
duration of T1, T2 and T3 respectively. Figure A.7.3.17.1-1 shows the variation of the downlink SNR in the active cell
to emulate out-of-sync and in-sync states. Prior to the start of the time duration T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized
to cell 1. The UE shall be configured for periodic CQI reporting in PUCCH 1-0 mode with a reporting periodicity of 2
ms.

Non-MBSFN ABS pattern is configured in both Cell 2 and Cell 3 in this test. The UE is configured by higher layers
with a time domain measurement restriction pattern for performing Pcell measurements. The UE is also provided via
higher layers with the CRS assistance information for Cell 2 and Cell 3, which shall be valid during T1, T2 and T3 in
this test. The non-MBSFN ABS pattern, the time domain measurement resource restriction pattern and the CRS
assistance information shall be configured prior to the start of T1.

A.7.3.20 E-UTRAN TDD Radio Link Monitoring Test for In-sync under Time
Domain Measurement Resouce Restriction with CRS assistance
information and Non-MBSFN ABS

A.7.3.20.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE properly detects the out of sync and in sync for the purpose of
monitoring downlink radio link quality of the PCell under time domain measurement resource restriction with CRS
assistance information. This test will partly verify the E-UTRAN TDD radio link monitoring requirements in section
7.6.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.20.1-1 and A.7.3.20.1-2 below. There are three active cells in the test: Cell
1 is the PCell and Cell 2 and 3 are the Neighbor cells. The test consists of five successive time periods, with time
duration of T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. Figure A.7.3.20.1-1 shows the variation of the downlink SNR in the
PCell to emulate out-of-sync and in-sync states. Prior to the start of the time duration T1, the UE shall be fully
synchronized to cell 1. The UE shall be configured for periodic CQI reporting in PUCCH 1-0 mode with a reporting
periodicity of 2 ms.

Non-MBSFN ABS pattern is configured in both Cell 2 and Cell 3 in this test. The UE is configured by higher layers
with a time domain measurement restriction pattern for performing PCell measurements. The UE is also provided via
higher layers with the CRS assistance information for Cell 2 and Cell 3, which shall be valid during T1, T2, T3, T4 and
T5 in this test. The Non-MBSFN ABS pattern, the time domain measurement resource restriction pattern and the CRS
assistance information shall be configured prior to the start of T1.

A.7.3.28.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the FD-FDD category 0 UE properly detects the out of sync and in sync for the
purpose of monitoring downlink radio link quality of the PCell when DRX is used. This test will partly verify the E-
UTRAN FD-FDD radio link monitoring requirements in clause 7.11.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.28.1-1, A.7.3.28.1-2, A.7.3.28.1-3 and A.7.3.28.1-4. There is one cell (cell
1), which is the active cell, in the test. The test consists of three successive time periods, with time duration of T1, T2
and T3 respectively. Figure A.7.3.28.1-1 shows the variation of the downlink SNR in the active cell to emulate out-of-
sync and in-sync states. Prior to the start of the time duration T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized to cell 1. The UE
shall be configured for periodic CQI reporting in PUCCH 1-0 mode with a reporting periodicity of 2 ms. In the test,
DRX configuration is enabled and DRX inactivity timer has already been expired, i.e. UE tries to decode PDCCH and
to send periodic CQI during the period when On-duration timer is running. Time alignment timers shall be set to
“infinity” so that UL timing alignment is maintained during the test.

A.7.3.28.2 Test Requirements


The UE behaviour in each test during time durations T1, T2 and T3 shall be as follows:

During the period from time point A to time point B the UE shall transmit uplink signal at least once every DRX cycle,
in the On-duration part of the cycle in the subframe according to the configured CQI reporting mode (PUCCH 1-0).

The UE shall stop transmitting uplink signal no later than time point C (duration D 1 = 6500 ms after the start of time
duration T3.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

A.7.3.29 E-UTRAN FD-FDD Radio Link Monitoring Test for In-sync in DRX
for UE Category 0

A.7.3.29.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the FD-FDD category 0 UE properly detects the out of sync and in sync for the
purpose of monitoring downlink radio link quality of the PCell when DRX is used. This test will partly verify the E-
UTRAN FD-FDD radio link monitoring requirements in clause 7.11.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.29.1-1, A.7.3.29.1-2, A.7.3.29.1-3 and A.7.3.29.1-4. There is one cell
(cell 1), which is the active cell, in the test. The test consists of five successive time periods, with time duration of T1,
T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. Figure A.7.3.29.1-1 shows the variation of the downlink SNR in the active cell to
emulate out-of-sync and in-sync states. Prior to the start of the time duration T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized to
cell 1. The UE shall be configured for periodic CQI reporting in PUCCH 1-0 mode with a reporting periodicity of 2 ms.
In the test, DRX configuration is enabled and DRX inactivity timer has already been expired, i.e. UE tries to decode
PDCCH and to send periodic CQI during the period when On-duration timer is running. Time alignment timers shall be
set to “infinity” so that UL timing alignment is maintained during the test.

The purpose of this test is to verify that the HD-FDD category 0 UE properly detects the out of sync and in sync for the
purpose of monitoring downlink radio link quality of the PCell when DRX is used. This test will partly verify the E-
UTRAN HD-FDD radio link monitoring requirements in clause 7.11.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.33.1-1, A.7.3.33.1-2, A.7.3.33.1-3 and A.7.3.33.1-4. There is one cell (cell
1), which is the active cell, in the test. The test consists of five successive time periods, with time duration of T1, T2,
T3, T4 and T5 respectively. Figure A.7.3.33.1-1 shows the variation of the downlink SNR in the active cell to emulate
out-of-sync and in-sync states. Prior to the start of the time duration T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized to cell 1.
The UE shall be configured for periodic CQI reporting in PUCCH 1-0 mode with a reporting periodicity of 5 ms. In the
test, DRX configuration is enabled and DRX inactivity timer has already been expired, i.e. UE tries to decode PDCCH
and to send periodic CQI during the period when On-duration timer is running. Time alignment timers shall be set to
“infinity” so that UL timing alignment is maintained during the test.

A.7.3.37.2 Test Requirements

The UE behaviour in each test during time durations T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 shall be as follows:

During the period from time point A to time point F (1120 ms after the start of time duration T5) the UE shall transmit
uplink signal at least once every DRX cycle, in the On-duration part of the cycle in the uplink subframe according to the
configured CQI reporting mode (PUCCH 1-0).

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

A.7.3.38 E-UTRAN FDD-FDD DC Radio Link Monitoring Test for Out-of-


sync in DRX in synchronous DC

A.7.3.38.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE properly detects the out of sync for the purpose of monitoring downlink
radio link quality of the PSCell when DRX is used. This test will partly verify the E-UTRAN FDD radio link
monitoring requirements in clause 7.6.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.38.1-1, A.7.3.38.1-2, A.7.3.38.1-3, and A.7.3.38.1-4. There are two cells,
cell 1 is PCell and cell 2 is PSCell, in the test. The test consists of three successive time periods with time duration of
T1, T2 and T3 respectively. Figure A.7.3.38.1-1 shows the variation of the downlink SNR in the PCell and PSCell to
emulate out-of-sync and in-sync states. Prior to the start of the time duration T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized to
cell 1 and cell 2. The UE shall be configured for periodic CQI reporting in PUCCH 1-0 mode with a reporting
periodicity of 2 ms. In the test, DRX configuration is enabled and DRX inactivity timer has already been expired, i.e.
UE tries to decode PDCCH and to send periodic CQI during the period when On-duration timer is running. Time
alignment timers shall be set to “infinity” so that UL timing alignment is maintained during the test.

The UE behaviour during time durations T1, T2, and T3 shall be as follows:

During time durations T1, T2 and T3, the UE shall transmit uplink signal at least in all subframes configured for CQI
transmission on Cell1.

During the period from time point A to time point B the UE shall transmit uplink signal at least once every DRX cycle,
in the On-duration part of the cycle in the uplink subframe on Cell2.

The UE shall stop transmitting uplink signal no later than time point C (duration D1 = 900 ms after the start of time

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

A.7.3.39 E-UTRAN FDD-FDD DC Radio Link Monitoring Test for Out-of-


sync in DRX in asynchronous DC

A.7.3.39.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE properly detects the out of sync and in sync for the purpose of
monitoring downlink radio link quality of the PSCell when DRX is used in asynchronous dual connectivity. This test
will partly verify the E-UTRAN FDD radio link monitoring requirements in section 7.6.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.39.1-1, A.7.3.39.1-2, A.7.3.39.1-3 and A.7.3.39.1-4. There are two cells in
the test. Cell 1 is PCell in MCG and cell 2 is PSCell in SCG. Before the test starts the UE is connected to cell 1 on radio
channel 1 and to cell 2 on radio channel 2. The test consists of three successive time periods, with time duration of T1,
T2 and T3 respectively. The downlink SNR in cell 1 keeps constant in the test. Figure A.7.3.39.1-1 shows the variation
of the downlink SNR in the cell 2 to emulate out-of-sync and in-sync states. Prior to the start of the time duration T1,
the UE shall be fully synchronized to cell 1 and cell 2 in asynchronous dual connectivity. For both cells, the UE shall be
configured for periodic CQI reporting in PUCCH 1-0 mode with a reporting periodicity of 2 ms. In the test, DRX
configuration is enabled and DRX inactivity timer has already been expired, i.e. UE tries to decode PDCCH and to send

A.7.3.41 E-UTRAN FDD-FDD Radio Link Monitoring Test for In-sync in


DRX in synchronous dual connectivity

A.7.3.41.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE properly detects the out of sync and in sync for the purpose of
monitoring downlink radio link quality of the PSCell when DRX is used in dual connectivity. This test will partly verify
the E-UTRAN FDD radio link monitoring requirements in clause 7.6.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.41.1-1, A.7.3.41.1-2, A.7.3.41.1-3 and A.7.3.41.1-4. There are two cells,
cell 1 is PCell and cell 2 is PSCell, in the test. The test consists of five successive time periods, with time duration of
T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. Figure A.7.3.41.1-1 shows the variation of the downlink SNR in the PSCell to
emulate out-of-sync and in-sync states. Prior to the start of the time duration T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized to
cell 1 and cell 2. The UE shall be configured for periodic CQI reporting in PUCCH 1-0 mode with a reporting
periodicity of 2 ms. In the test, DRX configuration for PCell and PSCell is enabled and DRX inactivity timer has
already been expired, i.e. UE tries to decode PDCCH and to send periodic CQI during the period when On-duration
timer is running. Time alignment timers shall be set to “infinity” so that UL timing alignment is maintained during the
test.

A.7.3.42 E-UTRAN FDD-FDD DC Radio Link Monitoring Test for In-sync in


DRX in asynchronous DC

A.7.3.42.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE properly detects the out of sync and in sync for the purpose of
monitoring downlink radio link quality of the PSCell when DRX is used in asynchronous dual connectivity. This test
will partly verify the E-UTRAN FDD radio link monitoring requirements in clause 7.6.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.42.1-1, A.7.3.42.1-2, A.7.3.42.1-3 and A.7.3.42.1-4. There are two cells in
the test. Cell 1 is PCell in MCG and cell 2 is PSCell in SCG. Before the test starts the UE is connected to cell 1 on radio
channel 1 and to cell 2 on radio channel 2. The test consists of five successive time periods, with time duration of T1,
T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. The downlink SNR in cell 1 keeps constant in the test. Figure A.7.3.42.1-1 shows the
variation of the downlink SNR in cell 2 to emulate out-of-sync and in-sync states. Prior to the start of the time duration
T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized to cell 1 and cell 2 in asynchronous dual connectivity. For both cell 1 and cell 2,
the UE shall be configured for periodic CQI reporting in PUCCH 1-0 mode with a reporting periodicity of 2 ms. In the
test, DRX configuration is enabled and DRX inactivity timer has already been expired, i.e. UE tries to decode PDCCH
and to send periodic CQI during the period when On-duration timer is running. Time alignment timers shall be set to
“infinity” so that UL timing alignment is maintained during the test.

A.7.3.44 E-UTRAN TDD-FDD DC Radio Link Monitoring Test for Out-of-


sync in DRX in synchronous DC with PCell in FDD

A.7.3.44.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE properly detects the out of sync for the purpose of monitoring downlink
radio link quality of the PSCell when DRX is used. This test will partly verify the radio link monitoring requirements in
clause 7.6.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.44.1-1, A.7.3.44.1-2, A.7.3.44.1-3, and A.7.3.44.1-4. There are two cells,
cell 1 is PCell and cell 2 is PSCell, in the test. The test consists of three successive time periods with time duration of
T1, T2 and T3 respectively. Figure A.7.3.44.1-1 shows the variation of the downlink SNR in the PCell and PSCell to
emulate out-of-sync and in-sync states. Prior to the start of the time duration T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized to
cell 1 and cell 2. The UE shall be configured for periodic CQI reporting in PUCCH 1-0 mode with a reporting
periodicity of 2ms on cell 1 and 1ms on cell 2, respectively. In the test, DRX configuration is enabled and DRX
inactivity timer has already been expired, i.e. UE tries to decode PDCCH and to send periodic CQI during the period
when On-duration timer is running. Time alignment timers shall be set to “infinity” so that UL timing alignment is
maintained during the test.

A.7.3.47 E-UTRAN TDD-FDD Radio Link Monitoring Test for In-sync in


DRX for PSCell in synchronous DC with PCell in TDD

A.7.3.47.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE properly detects the out of sync and in sync for the purpose of
monitoring downlink radio link quality of the PSCell when DRX is used in dual connectivity. This test will partly verify
the E-UTRAN FDD and TDD radio link monitoring requirements in clause 7.6.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.47.1-1, A.7.3.47.1-2, A.7.3.47.1-3 and A.7.3.47.1-4. There are two cells,
cell 1 is PCell and cell 2 is PSCell, in the test. The test consists of five successive time periods, with time duration of
T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. Figure A.7.3.47.1-1 shows the variation of the downlink SNR in the PSCell to
emulate out-of-sync and in-sync states. Prior to the start of the time duration T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized to
cell 1 and cell 2. The UE shall be configured for periodic CQI reporting in PUCCH 1-0 mode with a reporting
periodicity of 1ms on PCell and 2ms on PSCell. In the test, DRX configuration for PCell and PSCell is enabled and
DRX inactivity timer has already been expired, i.e. UE tries to decode PDCCH and to send periodic CQI during the
Release 15 345 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

During the period from time point A to time point B the UE shall transmit uplink signal at least once every DRX cycle,
in the On-duration part of the cycle in the subframe according to the configured CQI reporting mode (PUCCH 1-0).

The UE shall stop transmitting uplink signal no later than time point C (duration D 1 = 6500 ms after the start of time
duration T3.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

A.7.3.51 E-UTRAN FD-FDD Radio Link Monitoring Test for In-sync in DRX
for UE Category M1 configured in CEMode A

A.7.3.51.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the FD-FDD category M1 UE configured in CEMode A properly detects the out
of sync and in sync for the purpose of monitoring downlink radio link quality of the PCell when DRX is used. This test
will partly verify the E-UTRAN FD-FDD radio link monitoring requirements in clause 7.19.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.51.1-1, A.7.3.51.1-2, A.7.3.51.1-3 and A.7.3.51.1-4. There is one cell
(cell 1), which is the active cell, in the test. The test consists of five successive time periods, with time duration of T1,
T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. Figure A.7.3.51.1-1 shows the variation of the downlink SNR in the active cell to
emulate out-of-sync and in-sync states. Prior to the start of the time duration T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized to
cell 1. The UE shall be configured for periodic CQI reporting in PUCCH 1-0 mode with a reporting periodicity of 2 ms
without repetition. In the test, DRX configuration is enabled and DRX inactivity timer has already been expired, i.e. UE
tries to decode MPDCCH and to send periodic CQI during the period when On-duration timer is running. Time
alignment timers shall be set to “infinity” so that UL timing alignment is maintained during the test.

In the test, the RRC parameter numberPRB-Pairs is set to 6 and the RRC parameter mPDCCH-NumRepetition is set 8.
UE shall successfully complete the RRC reconfiguration accordingly prior to the start of time duration T1.

A.7.3.55 E-UTRAN HD-FDD Radio Link Monitoring Test for In-sync in DRX
for UE Category M1 configured in CEMode A

A.7.3.55.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the HD-FDD category M1 UE configured in CEMode A properly detects the out
of sync and in sync for the purpose of monitoring downlink radio link quality of the PCell when DRX is used. This test
will partly verify the E-UTRAN HD-FDD radio link monitoring requirements in clause 7.19.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.55.1-1, A.7.3.55.1-2, A.7.3.55.1-3 and A.7.3.55.1-4. There is one cell (cell
1), which is the active cell, in the test. The test consists of five successive time periods, with time duration of T1, T2,
T3, T4 and T5 respectively. Figure A.7.3.55.1-1 shows the variation of the downlink SNR in the active cell to emulate
out-of-sync and in-sync states. Prior to the start of the time duration T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized to cell 1.
The UE shall be configured for periodic CQI reporting in PUCCH 1-0 mode with a reporting periodicity of 20 ms
without repetition. In the test, DRX configuration is enabled and DRX inactivity timer has already been expired, i.e. UE
tries to decode MPDCCH and to send periodic CQI during the period when On-duration timer is running. Time
alignment timers shall be set to “infinity” so that UL timing alignment is maintained during the test.

In the test, the RRC parameter numberPRB-Pairs is set to 6 and the RRC parameter mPDCCH-NumRepetition is set 8.
UE shall successfully complete the RRC reconfiguration accordingly prior to the start of time duration T1.

A.7.3.60 HD-FDD Radio Link Monitoring Test for Out-of-sync in DRX for
UE category NB1 In-band mode in normal coverage

A.7.3.60.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the HD-FDD category NB1 UE properly detects the out of sync for the purpose
of monitoring downlink radio link quality of the NB-IoT Cell. This test will partly verify the NB-IoT HD-FDD radio
link monitoring requirements in clause 7.23.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.60.1-1, A.7.3.60.1-2, A.7.3.60.1-2A, A.7.3.60.1-3 and A.7.3.60.1-4. nCell
1 is the active NB-IoT cell in the test. The test consists of four successive time periods with time duration of T1, T2, T3
and T4 respectively, excluding the transition time duration dT, where the SNR increases or decreases gradually in small
steps. Figure A.7.3.60.1-1 shows the variation of the downlink SNR in the active cell to emulate out-of-sync state with
the following testing procedure:

- Prior to the start of the time duration T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized to nCell1

- Starting at point A, the SNR is decreased in small steps from SNR1 to SNR2 within dT

- At the start of the time duration T2, the UE is provided with a UL grant with NPDCCH

Note: The UE is expected to decode the NPDCCH and complete the UL transmission during T2 according to
the UL grant.

- Starting at point B, the SNR is decreased in small steps from SNR2 to SNR3 within dT

- During T3, the SNR is kept as SNR3

Note: The UE is expected to detect OOS and declare RLF during T3.
Release 15 384 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

- Starting at point C, the SNR is increased in small steps from SNR3 to SNR1 with dT

- At the start of the time period T4, the UE will be provided with another UL grant with NPDCCH

Note: The UE is not expected to decode the UL grant and conduct any UL transmission during T4, since the
UE is expected to declare RLF during T3.

In the test, DRX configuration is enabled and DRX inactivity timer has already been expired, i.e. UE tries to decode the
NPDCCH and complete the UL transmission when On-duration timer is running. Time alignment timers shall be set to
“infinity” so that UL timing alignment is maintained during the test.

A.7.3.62 HD-FDD Radio Link Monitoring Test for In-sync with DRX for UE
Category NB1 In-Band mode in Enhanced Coverage

A.7.3.62.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the HD-FDD category NB1 UE configured in enhanced coverage properly
detects the out of sync and in sync for the purpose of monitoring downlink radio link quality of the NB-IoT Cell when
DRX is used. This test will partly verify the HD-FDD radio link monitoring requirements in clause 7.23.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.62.1-1, A.7.3.62.1-2, A.7.3.62.1-3, A.7.3.62.1-4 and A.7.3.62.1-5. nCell 1
is the active cell in the test. The test consists of three successive time periods, with time duration of T1, T2 and T3
respectively, excluding the transition time duration dT, where the SNR increases or decreases gradually in small steps.
Figure A.7.3.62.1-1 shows the variation of the downlink SNR in the active cell to emulate out-of-sync and in-sync
states.

Prior to the start of the time duration T1, the UE shall be fully be synchronized to nCell 1. The UE is scheduled in every
uplink subframe to transmit NPUSCH, which is received by the test equipment. By measuring the reception of the
NPUSCH, detection of out of sync and in sync requirements can be measured. In the test, DRX configuration is enabled
and DRX inactivity timer has already been expired, i.e. UE tries to decode NPDCCH and to send NPUSCH during the
period when On-duration timer is running. Time alignment timers shall be set to “infinity” so that UL timing alignment
is maintained during the test.

The test setup in each test during time durations T1, T2 and T3 shall be as follows:

- During the period from time point A to time point B, the SNR is decreasing linearly from SNR1 to SNR2.

- During the period from time point C to time point D, the SNR is increasing linearly from SNR2 to SNR3.

- During the period T3, the test system shall send the UE a grant to transmit in uplink. UE under test is expected to
decode the uplink grant and switch to uplink and complete the uplink transmission.

- Thereafter UE switches back to downlink.


Release 15 392 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

In each run of the test, the test equipment selects NPDCCH repetition level, and sends the RRC configuration to the UE.
NPDCCH repetition level is determined by RRC parameter npdcch-NumRepetitions [3]. UE shall successfully complete
the RRC reconfiguration accordingly prior to the start of time duration T1.

A.7.3.63 HD-FDD Radio Link Monitoring Test for In-sync with DRX for UE
Category NB1 In-Band mode in Normal Coverage

A.7.3.63.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the HD-FDD category NB1 UE configured in normal coverage properly detects
the out of sync and in sync for the purpose of monitoring downlink radio link quality of the NB-IoT Cell when DRX is
used. This test will partly verify the HD-FDD radio link monitoring requirements in clause 7.23.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.63.1-1, A.7.3.63.1-2, A.7.3.63.1-3, A.7.3.63.1-4 and A.7.3.63.1-5. nCell 1
is the active cell in the test. The test consists of three successive time periods, with time duration of T1, T2 and T3
respectively, excluding the transition time duration dT, where the SNR increases or decreases gradually in small steps.
Figure A.7.3.63.1-1 shows the variation of the downlink SNR in the active cell to emulate out-of-sync and in-sync
states.

Prior to the start of the time duration T1, the UE shall be fully be synchronized to nCell 1. The UE is scheduled in every
uplink subframe to transmit NPUSCH, which is received by the test equipment. By measuring the reception of the
NPUSCH, detection of out of sync and in sync requirements can be measured. In the test, DRX configuration is enabled
and DRX inactivity timer has already been expired, i.e. UE tries to decode NPDCCH and to send NPUSCH during the
period when On-duration timer is running. Time alignment timers shall be set to “infinity” so that UL timing alignment
is maintained during the test.

The test setup in each test during time durations T1, T2 and T3 are as follows:

- During the period from time point A to time point B, the SNR is decreasing linearly from SNR1 to SNR2.

- During the period from time point C to time point D, the SNR is increasing linearly from SNR2 to SNR3.

- During the period T3, the test system shall send the UE a grant to transmit in uplink. UE under test is expected to
decode the uplink grant and switch to uplink and complete the uplink transmission.

- Thereafter UE switches back to downlink.


Release 15 396 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

In each run of the test, the test equipment selects NPDCCH repetition level, and sends the RRC configuration to the UE.
NPDCCH repetition level is determined by RRC parameter npdcch-NumRepetitions [2]. UE shall successfully complete
the RRC reconfiguration accordingly prior to the start of time duration T1.

A.7.3.65 HD-FDD Radio Link Monitoring Test for In-sync without DRX for
UE Category NB1 In-Band mode in Enhanced Coverage

A.7.3.65.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the HD-FDD category NB1 UE configured in enhanced coverage properly
detects the out of sync and in sync for the purpose of monitoring downlink radio link quality of the PCell when DRX is
used. This test will partly verify the HD-FDD radio link monitoring requirements in clause 7.23.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.65.1-1, A.7.3.65.1-2, A.7.3.65.1-3, A.7.3.65.1-4 and A.7.3.65.1-5. nCell 1
is the active cell in the test. The test consists of three successive time periods, with time duration of T1, T2 and T3
respectively, excluding the transition time duration dT, where the SNR increases or decreases gradually in small steps.
Figure A.7.3.65.1-1 shows the variation of the downlink SNR in the active cell to emulate out-of-sync and in-sync
states.

Prior to the start of the time duration T1, the UE shall be fully be synchronized to nCell 1. The UE is scheduled in every
uplink subframe to transmit NPUSCH, which is received by the test equipment. By measuring the reception of the
NPUSCH, detection of out of sync and in sync requirements can be measured. In the test, DRX configuration is
disabled, i.e. UE tries to decode NPDCCH and to send NPUSCH during the period when On-duration timer is running.
Time alignment timers shall be set to “infinity” so that UL timing alignment is maintained during the test.

The test setup in each test during time durations T1, T2, dT and T3 shall be as follows:

- During the period from time point A to time point B, the SNR is decreasing linearly from SNR1 to SNR2.

- During the period from time point C to time point D, the SNR is increasing linearly from SNR2 to SNR3.

- During the period T3, the test system shall send the UE a grant to transmit in uplink. UE under test is expected to
decode the uplink grant and switch to uplink and complete the uplink transmission.

- Thereafter UE switches back to downlink.

In each run of the test, the test equipment selects NPDCCH repetition level, and sends the RRC configuration to the UE.
UE shall successfully complete the RRC reconfiguration accordingly prior to the start of time duration T1.

A.7.3.66 HD-FDD Radio Link Monitoring Test for Out-of-sync without DRX
for UE Category NB1 Standalone mode in Normal Coverage

A.7.3.66.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the HD-FDD category NB1 UE properly detects the out of sync for the purpose
of monitoring downlink radio link quality of the NB-IoT Cell. This test will partly verify the NB-IoT HD-FDD radio
link monitoring requirements in clause 7.23.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.66.1-1 and A.7.3.66.1-2. nCell1 is the active NB-IoT cell in the test. The
test consists of four successive time periods with time duration of T1, T2, T3 and T4 respectively, excluding the
transition time duration dT, where the SNR increases or decreases gradually in small steps. Figure A.7.3.66.1-1 shows
the variation of the downlink SNR in the active cell to emulate out-of-sync state with the following testing procedure:

- Prior to the start of the time duration T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized to nCell1

- Starting at point A, the SNR is decreased in small steps from SNR1 to SNR2 within dT

- At the start of the time duration T2, the UE is provided with a UL grant with NPDCCH

Note: The UE is expected to decode the NPDCCH and complete the UL transmission during T2 according to
the UL grant.

- Starting at point B, the SNR is decreased in small steps from SNR2 to SNR3 within dT

- During T3, the SNR is kept as SNR3

Note: The UE is expected to detect OOS and declare RLF during T3.

- Starting at point C, the SNR is increased in small steps from SNR3 to SNR1 with dT

- At the start of the time period T4, the UE will be provided with another UL grant with NPDCCH

Note: The UE is not expected to decode the UL grant and conduct any UL transmission during T4, since the UE
is expected to declare RLF during T3.

verify the E-UTRAN FD-FDD radio link monitoring requirements in clause 7.19.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.76.1-1, A.7.3.76.1-2, A.7.3.76.1-3 and A.7.3.76.1-4. There is one cell (cell
1), which is the active cell, in the test. The test consists of three successive time periods, with time duration of T1, T2
and T3 respectively. Figure A.7.3.76.1-1 shows the variation of the downlink SNR in the active cell to emulate out-of-
sync states. Prior to the start of the time duration T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized to cell 1. The UE shall be
configured for periodic CQI reporting in PUCCH 1-0 mode with a reporting periodicity of 2 ms without repetition. In
the test, DRX configuration is enabled and DRX inactivity timer has already been expired, i.e. UE tries to decode
MPDCCH and to send periodic CQI during the period when On-duration timer is running. Time alignment timers shall
be set to “infinity” so that UL timing alignment is maintained during the test.

In the test, the RRC parameter numberPRB-Pairs is set to 4 and the RRC parameter mPDCCH-NumRepetition is set 2.
UE shall successfully complete the RRC reconfiguration accordingly prior to the start of time duration T1.

and T3 respectively. Figure A.7.3.80.1-1 shows the variation of the downlink SNR in the active cell to emulate out-of-
sync states. Prior to the start of the time duration T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized to cell 1. The UE shall be
configured for periodic CQI reporting in PUCCH 1-0 mode with a reporting periodicity of 1 ms without repetition. In
the test, DRX configuration is enabled and DRX inactivity timer has already been expired, i.e. UE tries to decode
MPDCCH and to send periodic CQI during the period when On-duration timer is running. Time alignment timers shall
be set to “infinity” so that UL timing alignment is maintained during the test.

In the test, the RRC parameter numberPRB-Pairs is set to 4 and the RRC parameter mPDCCH-NumRepetition is set 2.

A.7.3.80.2 Test Requirements


The UE behaviour in each test during time durations T1, T2 and T3 shall be as follows:

During the period from time point A to time point B the UE shall transmit uplink signal at least once every DRX cycle,
in the On-duration part of the cycle in the subframe according to the configured CQI reporting mode (PUCCH 1-0).

The UE shall stop transmitting uplink signal no later than time point C (duration D 1 = 6500 ms after the start of time
duration T3.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

A.7.3.81 E-UTRAN TDD Radio Link Monitoring Test for In-sync in DRX for
non-BL CE UE configured in CEMode A

A.7.3.81.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the TDD non-BL CE UE configured in CEMode A properly detects the out of
sync and in sync for the purpose of monitoring downlink radio link quality of the PCell when DRX is used. This test
will partly verify the E-UTRAN TDD radio link monitoring requirements in clause 7.19.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.7.3.81.1-1, A.7.3.81.1-2, A.7.3.81.1-3 and A.7.3.81.1-4. There is one cell (cell
1), which is the active cell, in the test. The test consists of five successive time periods, with time duration of T1, T2,
T3, T4 and T5 respectively. Figure A.7.3.81.1-1 shows the variation of the downlink SNR in the active cell to emulate
out-of-sync and in-sync states. Prior to the start of the time duration T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized to cell 1.
The UE shall be configured for periodic CQI reporting in PUCCH 1-0 mode with a reporting periodicity of 1 ms
without repetition. In the test, DRX configuration is enabled and DRX inactivity timer has already been expired, i.e. UE
tries to decode MPDCCH and to send periodic CQI during the period when On-duration timer is running. Time
alignment timers shall be set to “infinity” so that UL timing alignment is maintained during the test.
Release 15 449 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

In the test, the RRC parameter numberPRB-Pairs is set to 6 and the RRC parameter mPDCCH-NumRepetition is set 4.
UE shall successfully complete the RRC reconfiguration accordingly prior to the start of time duration T1.

A.7.5.3 E-UTRAN FDD - Interruptions due to ProSe Direct Discovery

A.7.5.3.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify the requirements related to the allowed PCell interruptions due to ProSe Direct
Discovery defined in clause 7.16.3.1 and clause 7.16.3.3. In the test the UE under test is configured for ProSe operation
only on PCell and also the UE is configured only for PCell for WAN.

For this test, the UE is triggered by the test loop function or the upper layers to monitor ProSe Direct Discovery.

The test parameters are given in Table A.7.5.3.1-1 and Table A.7.5.3.1-2 below. There is one active cell (PCell) in this
test and 24 active Sidelink transmissions in this test (with 12 active Sidelink UEs per configured discovery subframe).
Two tests (Test 1 and Test 2) are defined to verify interruptions due to synchronous (Test 1) and asynchronous (Test 2)
ProSe Direct Discovery.

The tests consist of three successive time periods, with time duration of T1, T2 and T3 respectively.

During T1, the UE is in RRC_IDLE and monitoring the ProSe Direct Discovery announcements from other active
Sidelink UEs on the ProSe Direct Discvoery resources.

During T2, the test system establishes a RRC connection with the UE. No PDSCH traffic is scheduled for UE during
T2, and the UE is expected to transmit SidelinkUEInformation indicating discRxInterest during T2. On reception of
SidelinkUEInformation, the test system shall RRC reconfiguration message to the UE and wait for the UE to respond
with RRC reconfiguration complete message before transitioning to T3. If the UE does not transmit
SidelinkUEInformation for up to [2] sec, the test system shall transition to T3.

During T3, the UE is scheduled with PDSCH traffic on PCell downlink. The test system will count the missed
ACK/NACKs during T3 to verify the allowed interruptions during ProSe Direct Discovery.

A.7.5.6 E-UTRAN FDD - Interruptions due to ProSe Direct Discovery with


discovery period less than 320ms

A.7.5.6.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify the requirements related to the allowed PCell interruptions due to ProSe Direct
Discovery defined in clause 7.16.3.3 when the discovery period less than 320ms. In the test the UE under test is
configured only with PCell with the ProSe operation on uplink carrier of the PCell.

This test is applicable to ProSe Direct Discovery capable UEs that support discovery periods of less than 320ms.

For this test, the UE is triggered by the test loop function or the upper layers to monitor ProSe Direct Discovery.

The test parameters are given in Table A.7.5.6.1-1, Table A.7.5.6.1-2, and Table A.7.5.6.1-3 below. There is one active
cell (PCell) in this test and 24 active Sidelink transmissions in this test (with 12 active Sidelink UEs per configured
discovery subframe).

The tests consist of three successive time periods, with time duration of T1, T2 and T3 respectively.

During T1, the UE is in RRC_IDLE and monitoring the ProSe Direct Discovery announcements from other active
Sidelink UEs on the ProSe Direct Discovery resources.

During T2, the test system establishes a RRC connection with the UE. No PDSCH traffic is scheduled for UE during
T2, and the UE is expected to transmit SidelinkUEInformation indicating discRxInterest during T2. On reception of
SidelinkUEInformation, the test system shall RRC reconfiguration message to the UE and wait for the UE to respond
with RRC reconfiguration complete message before transitioning to T3. If the UE does not transmit
SidelinkUEInformation for up to [2] sec, the test system shall transition to T3.

During T3, the UE is scheduled with PDSCH traffic on PCell downlink. The test system will count the missed
ACK/NACKs during T3 to verify the allowed interruptions during ProSe Direct Discovery.

A.7.5.7 E-UTRAN FDD-FDD - Interruptions due to ProSe Direct


Discovery

A.7.5.7.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify the requirements related to the allowed PCell interruptions due to ProSe Direct
Discovery defined in clause 7.16.3.1 and clause 7.16.3.3. In the test the UE under test is configured with PCell and one
SCell, with ProSe operation configured on the PCell.

A UE that meets the requirements of this clause is not required to be tested for the requirements of clause 7.5.3.

For this test, the UE is triggered by the test loop function or the upper layers to monitor ProSe Direct Discovery.

The test parameters are given in Table A.7.5.7.1-1, Table A.7.5.7.1-2, and Table A.7.5.7.1-3 below. There are two
configured component carriers: PCC and SCC, and two active cells: Cell 1 and Cell2. Cell1 is the PCell on PCC, and
Cell 2 is the SCell on SCC. Sidelink operation is configured on the PCC UL. There are 24 active Sidelink transmissions
in this test (with 12 active Sidelink UEs per configured discovery subframe). Two tests (Test 1 and Test 2) are defined to
verify interruptions due to synchronous (Test 1) and asynchronous (Test 2) ProSe Direct Discovery.

The tests consist of three successive time periods, with time duration of T1, T2 and T3 respectively.

During T1, the UE is in RRC_IDLE and monitoring the ProSe Direct Discovery announcements from other active
Sidelink UEs on the ProSe Direct Discovery resources.

During T2, the test system establishes a RRC connection with the UE. The test system shall configure the UE with the
SCC. No PDSCH traffic is scheduled for UE during T2, and the UE is expected to transmit SidelinkUEInformation
indicating discRxInterest during T2. On reception of SidelinkUEInformation, the test system shall RRC reconfiguration
message to the UE and wait for the UE to respond with RRC reconfiguration complete message before transitioning to
T3. If the UE does not transmit SidelinkUEInformation for up to [2] sec, the test system shall transition to T3.

During T3, the UE is scheduled with PDSCH traffic on both PCell and SCell downlink. The test system will count the
missed ACK/NACKs during T3 to verify the allowed interruptions during ProSe Direct Discovery.

A.7.5.7.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall be scheduled on PCell and SCell downlink continuously during T3.

In Test 1, at least 98.75% of all expected ACK/NACKs during T3 shall be transmitted by the ProSe UE. T he missed
ACK/NACKs can occur only on subframe ‘n’, if either n±1 subframe is a discovery subframe, or if n-3, or n-5 is a
discovery subframe.

NOTE: For the test configuration in Table A.7.5.12.1-1 and Table A.7.5.12.1-2, the specific subframes where
missed ACK/NACKs are allowed are when (subframe mod 320) = 159, 163, 162, 166, corresponding to
allowed interruptions on subframe 159 and 162.

In Test 2, at least 97.5% of all expected ACK/NACKs during T3 shall be transmitted by the ProSe UE. The missed
ACK/NACK can occur only on subframe ‘n’, if either n±5 subframe is a discovery or SLSS subframe, or if n+1, or n-9
is a discovery or SLSS subframe.

NOTE: For the test configuration in Table A.7.5.7.1-1 and Table A.7.5.7.1-2, the specific subframes where missed
ACK/NACKs are allowed are when (subframe mod 320) = 135, 139, 145, 149, 155, 159, 166, 170,
corresponding to allowed interruptions on subframes 135, 145, 155 and 166.

A.7.5.8 E-UTRAN FDD-FDD - Cell reselection and timing accuracy for


ProSe Direct Discovery transmission on non-serving frequency

A.7.5.8.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify the requirements related to cell reselection and timing accuracy for ProSe Direct
Discovery transmissions on a non-serving frequency defined in clauses 7.16.4 and 7.16.2.1.2, respectively. In the test
the UE under test is configured with PCell on a serving frequency, and the PCell provides the ProSe Direct Discovery
resources for a non-serving frequency.

This test is applicable for ProSe Direct Discovery capable UEs that support concurrent inter-band E-UTRAN and E-
UTRAN ProSe operation, and indicates the support of inter-frequency discovery transmission using discInterFreqTx.

For this test, the UE is triggered by the test loop function or the upper layers to announce ProSe Direct Discovery.

The test parameters are given in Table A.7.5.8.1-1, Table A.7.5.8.1-2, and Table A.7.5.8.1-3 below. The test consists of
one active serving cell (cell 1) on the serving RF channel 1, and two active non-serving cells (cell 2 and cell3) on the
non-serving discovery RF channel 2.

The tests consist of three successive time periods, with time duration of T1, T2 and T3 respectively.

The serving cell (cell 1 on RF channel 1) is active during the entire test duration (T1, T2, T3) without any changes to
cell 1 RSRP. Prior to start of the test, the test system shall verify that the UE is transmitting ProSe Direct Discovery
transmissions on the non-serving RF channel 2.

During T1, only one non-serving cell (cell 2 on RF channel 2) is active. The UE is expected to be following the timing
of cell 2 for its discovery transmissions on RF channel 2. During T2, cell 3 on the non-serving RF channel 2 is also
turned ON and is configured to be better ranked than cell 2. The UE is expected to reselect to cell 3 for discovery
transmit timing. During T3, RSRP of cell 2 is increased so that it becomes better ranked than cell 3. The UE is supposed
to reselect back to cell 2 and follow its timing for discovery transmissions.

A.7.5.8.2 Test Requirements


During T1, the test system shall verify that the transmit timing offset of discovery transmission on RF channel 2 is
within ± 12×TS with respect to the first detected path (in time) of the corresponding downlink frame of cell 2.

During T2, the UE is expected to reselect to cell 3 for discovery timing synchronization after cell reselection delay to a
newly detectable cell from start of T2. After the period of cell reselection delay to a newly detectable cell from the start
Release 15 499 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

of T2, the test system shall verify that the transmit timing offset of discovery transmission on RF channel 2 are within ±
12×TS with respect to the first detected path (in time) of the corresponding downlink frame of cell 3.

The cell reselection delay to a newly detectable cell for discovery transmission on non-serving carrier shall be 10.56s.

NOTE: The cell reselection delay to a newly detectable cell for discovery transmission on non-serving carrier can
be expressed as (Tdetect,EUTRAN_ProSe_Intra + 1 discovery period).

During T3, the UE is expected to reselect back to cell 2 for discovery timing synchronization after cell reselection delay
to an already detected cell from start of T3. After the period of cell reselection delay to a newly detectable cell from the
start of T3, the test system shall verify that the transmit timing offset of discovery transmission on RF channel 2 are
within ± 12×TS with respect to the first detected path (in time) of the corresponding downlink frame of cell 2.

The cell reselection delay to an already detected cell for discovery transmission on non-serving carrier shall be 5.44s.

NOTE: The cell reselection delay to an already detected cell for discovery transmission on non-serving carrier
can be expressed as (Tevaluate, E-UTRAN_ProSe_Intra + 1 discovery period).

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

A.7.5.9 E-UTRAN FDD-FDD - Interruptions due to ProSe Direct


Discovery reception on non-serving frequency

A.7.5.9.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify the requirements related to interruptions due to ProSe Direct Discovery reception on
a non-serving frequency as defined in clause 7.16.3.3 and 7.16.3.4. In the test the UE under test is configured with PCell
on a serving frequency, and the PCell provides the ProSe Direct Discovery resources for a non-serving frequency.

This test is applicable for ProSe Direct Discovery capable UEs that support concurrent inter-band E-UTRAN and E-
UTRAN ProSe operation.

For this test, the UE is triggered by the test loop function or the upper layers to monitor ProSe Direct Discovery.

The test parameters are given in Table A.7.5.9.1-1, Table A.7.5.9.1-2, and Table A.7.5.9.1-3 below. The test consists of
one active serving cell (cell 1) on the serving RF channel 1, and one active non-serving cells (cell 2) on the non-serving
discovery RF channel 2. There are 96 active Sidelink transmissions in this test (with 12 active Sidelink UEs per
configured discovery subframe) on RF channel 2.

After the test system establishes a RRC connection with the UE, the UE is expected to transmit SidelinkUEInformation
indicating discRxInterest. On reception of SidelinkUEInformation, the test system shall RRC reconfiguration message to
the UE and wait for the UE to respond with RRC reconfiguration complete message before start of the test. Further,
depending on UE implementation, the UE may request for discovery reception gaps (using discRxGapReq) for the
ProSe Direct Discovery reception operation on the non-serving frequency. If gaps are requested, the test system shall
configure the gaps as requested and modify the PDSCH scheduling on cell 1 for this UE such that the UE is not
scheduled on the DL on the subframes configured as reception gaps.

The test shall start after the completion of the RRC reconfiguration is complete following the SidelinkUEInformation
message transmission from the UE. The test system shall then continuously schedule the UE on DL of cell 1 (apart from
any subframes that are configured as discovery gaps).

A.7.5.10 E-UTRAN FDD-FDD - Interruptions due to ProSe Direct


Discovery transmission on non-serving frequency

A.7.5.10.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify the requirements related to interruptions due to ProSe Direct Discovery reception on
a non-serving frequency as defined in clause 7.16.3.3 and 7.16.3.4. In the test the UE under test is configured with PCell
on a serving frequency, and the PCell provides the ProSe Direct Discovery resources for a non-serving frequency.

This test is applicable for ProSe Direct Discovery capable UEs that support concurrent inter-band E-UTRAN and E-
UTRAN ProSe operation, and indicates the support of inter-frequency discovery transmission using discInterFreqTx.

For this test, the UE is triggered by the test loop function or the upper layers to announce ProSe Direct Discovery.

The test parameters are given in Table A.7.5.10.1-1, Table A.7.5.10.1-2, and Table A.7.5.10.1-3 below. The test consists
of one active serving cell (cell 1) on the serving RF channel 1, and one active non-serving cells (cell 2) on the non-
serving discovery RF channel 2.

After the test system establishes a RRC connection with the UE, the UE is expected to transmit SidelinkUEInformation.
On reception of SidelinkUEInformation, the test system shall RRC reconfiguration message to the UE and wait for the
UE to respond with RRC reconfiguration complete message before start of the test. Further, depending on UE
implementation, the UE may request for discovery transmission and/or reception gaps (using discTxGapReq and/or
discRxGapReq) for the ProSe Direct Discovery transmission operation on the non-serving frequency. If transmission
gap is requested, the test system shall configure the transmission gap as requested. The test system shall not configure
any reception gap for the UE for the purpose of this test.

The test shall start after the completion of the RRC reconfiguration is complete following the SidelinkUEInformation
message transmission from the UE. The test system shall then continuously schedule the UE on DL of cell 1.

than 0.5%.

A.7.5.12 E-UTRAN FDD - Selection / Reselection of ProSe relay UE

A.7.5.12.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify the requirements related to selection / reselection of ProSe relay UE defined in
clauses 7.16.5. In the test the UE under test is configured with PCell and is configured with ProSe Direct Discovery and
ProSe Direct Communication resources as required for remote UE operation.

This test is applicable to UEs capable of ProSe Direct Discovery and ProSe Direct Communication, and further support
the optional feature of sidelink remote UE operation.
Release 15 508 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

The test parameters are given in Table A.7.5.12.1-1, Table A.7.5.12.1-2, Table A.7.5.12.1-3, Table A.7.5.12.1-4, and
Table A.7.5.12.1-5 below. The test consists of one active serving cell (cell 1), and two active Sidelink relay UEs
(Sidelink Relay UE 1, Sidelink Relay UE 2). The Sidelink relay UEs are configured to be transmitting relay discovery
messages every discovery period.

The test system shall ensure that the remote UE under test has transmitted SidelinkUEInformation message and has been
configured with the ProSe Direct Discovery resources for relay operation prior to the start of the test.

The tests consist of five successive time periods, with time duration of T1, T2, T3, and T4 respectively.

During T1, RSRP of cell 1 is kept higher than threshHigh (within remoteUE-Config), and the remote UE is not required
to perform relay UE selection.

During T2, RSRP of cell 1 is configured to be lower than threshHigh. The UE is expected to start looking for relay UE
and request the serving cell for ProSe Direct Communication resources for communicating with a candidate Sidelink
Relay UE. The test system shall ensure that the UE under test transmits the SidelinkUEInformation message (requesting
the ProSe Direct Communication resources) and has been configured the resource pool prior to end of T2 duration.
During T2, the SD-RSRP of Sidelink Relay UE 1 and Sidelink Relay UE 2 is configured to be lower than the detection
threshold and no relay UE will be available for the remote UE under test.

During T3, the SD-RSRP of Sidelink Relay UE 1 is raised above the detection threshold and the UE is expected to
perform relay selection to Sidelink Relay 1. The test system can determine that the remote UE has selected a relay by
monitoring the configured ProSe Direct Communication resource for the direct communication setup message to the
relay UE.

During T4, the UE is expected to complete the direct communication setup with the relay UE. Note that the RSRP of the
serving cell (cell 1) and the SD-RSRP of sidelink relay UEs is kept unchanged during T3. The period T3 ends when
Sidelink Relay UE1 sends the direct communication accept message back to the remote UE.

During T5, SD-RSRP of Sidelink Relay UEs are modified such that the remote UE is expected to reselect to Sidelink
Relay UE2.

A.8.1.3.2 Test Requirements


In Test 1, the UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than
800 ms from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the
beginning of time period T2 to the moment when the UE send the measurement report on PUSCH.

In Test 2, the UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than
25600 ms from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the
beginning of time period T2 to the moment when the UE starts to send preambles on the PRACH for scheduling request
(SR) to obtain allocation to send the measurement report on PUSCH.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE 1: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to one DRX cycle higher than the
measurement reporting delays above because UE is allowed to delay the initiation of the measurement
reporting procedure to the next until the Active Time.

NOTE 2: In order to calculate the rate of correct events the system simulator shall verify that it has received
correct Event A3 measurement report.

A.8.1.5 E-UTRAN FDD - FDD Intra-frequency identification of a new CGI


of E-UTRA cell using autonomous gaps

A.8.1.5.1 Test Purpose and Environment


This test is to verify the requirement for identification of a new CGI of E-UTRA cell with autonomous gaps in
clause 8.1.2.2.3.

The test scenario comprises of one E-UTRA FDD carrier and two cells as given in tables A.8.1.5.1-1 and A.8.1.5.1-2.
PDCCHs indicating new transmissions shall be sent continuously to ensure that the UE would have ACK/NACK
sending during identifying a new CGI of E-UTRAN cell. The test consists of three successive time periods, with time
durations of T1, T2 and T3 respectively. At the start of time duration T1, the UE does not have any timing information
of cell 2. Starting T2, cell 2 becomes detectable and the UE is expected to detect and send a measurement report.

A RRC message implying SI reading shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the UE has reported Event A3. The
RRC message shall create a measurement report configuration with purpose reportCGI and si-RequestForHO set to
TRUE. The start of T3 is the instant when the last TTI containing the RRC message implying SI reading is sent to the
UE.

A.8.1.5.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall transmit a measurement report containing the cell global identifier of cell 2 within 170 milliseconds from
the start of T3.

Test requirement = RRC Procedure delay + Tidentify_CGI, intra + reporting delay

= 15 + 150 + 2ms from the start of T3

= 167 ms, allow 170 ms.

The UE shall be scheduled continuously throughout the test, and from the start of T3 until 170 ms at least 80
ACK/NACK shall be detected as being transmitted by the UE.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The overall 80 ACK/NACK number is caused by two parts. Firstly, at least 60 ACK/NACK shall be sent
during identifying the cell global identifier of cell 2 according to the requirement in Clause 8.1.2.2.3.1.
Secondly, given that continuous DL data allocation, additional 20 ACK/NACK shall be sent from the start
of T3 until 170 ms excludes 150 ms for identifying the cell global identifier of cell 2.

A.8.1.6 E-UTRAN FDD - FDD Intra-frequency identification of a new CGI


of E-UTRA cell using autonomous gaps with DRX

A.8.1.6.1 Test Purpose and Environment


This test is to verify the requirement for identification of a new CGI of E-UTRA cell with autonomous gaps in
clause 8.1.2.2.3. The requirement is verified in a DRX configuration.

The test scenario comprises of one E-UTRA FDD carrier and two cells as given in tables A.8.1.6.1-1, A.8.1.6.1-2,
A.8.1.6.1-3 and A.8.1.6.1-4. The test consists of three successive time periods, with time durations of T1, T2 and T3
respectively. At the start of time duration T1, the UE does not have any timing information of cell 2. Starting T2, cell 2
becomes detectable and the UE is expected to detect and send a measurement report.

A RRC message implying SI reading shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the UE has reported Event A3. The
RRC message shall create a measurement report configuration with purpose reportCGI and si-RequestForHO set to
TRUE. The start of T3 is the instant when the last TTI containing the RRC message implying SI reading is sent to the
UE.

In the test UE needs to be provided at least once every 1280ms with new Timing Advance Command MAC control
element to restart the Time alignment timer to keep UE uplink time alignment. Furthermore UE sends scheduling
request (SR) to obtain allocation to send the measurement report on PUSCH.

A.8.1.13.2 Test Requirements


In Test 1, the UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than
1000 ms from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the
beginning of time period T2 to the moment when the UE send the measurement report on PUSCH.

In Test 2, the UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than
25600 ms from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the
beginning of time period T2 to the moment when the UE starts to send preambles on the PRACH for scheduling request
(SR) to obtain allocation to send the measurement report on PUSCH.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE 1: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to one DRX cycle higher than the measurement
reporting delays above because UE is allowed to delay the initiation of the measurement reporting
procedure to the next until the Active Time.

NOTE 2: In order to calculate the rate of correct events the system simulator shall verify that it has received correct
Event A3 measurement report.

A.8.1.16.2 Test Requirements


In Test 1, the UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than
1000 ms from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the
beginning of time period T2 to the moment when the UE send the measurement report on PUSCH.

In Test 2, the UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than
25600 ms from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the
beginning of time period T2 to the moment when the UE starts to send preambles on the PRACH for scheduling request
(SR) to obtain allocation to send the measurement report on PUSCH.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE 1: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to one DRX cycle higher than the measurement
reporting delays above because UE is allowed to delay the initiation of the measurement reporting
procedure to the next until the Active Time.

NOTE 2: In order to calculate the rate of correct events the system simulator shall verify that it has received correct
Event A3 measurement report.

A.8.1.19 E-UTRAN FDD-FDD Intra-frequency identification of a new CGI of


E-UTRA cell using autonomous gaps for UE category 0

A.8.1.19.1 Test Purpose and Environment


This test is to verify the requirement for identification of a new CGI of E-UTRA cell with autonomous gaps in
clause 8.5.2.1.4.

The test scenario comprises of one E-UTRA FDD carrier and two cells as given in tables A.8.1.19.1-1 and A.8.1.19.1-2.
PDCCHs indicating new transmissions should be sent continuously to ensure that the UE would have ACK/NACK
sending during identifying a new CGI of E-UTRAN cell. The test consists of three successive time periods, with time
durations of T1, T2 and T3 respectively. At the start of time duration T1, the UE does not have any timing information
of cell 2. Starting T2, cell 2 becomes detectable and the UE is expected to detect and send a measurement report.

A RRC message implying SI reading shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the UE has reported Event A3. The
RRC message shall create a measurement report configuration with purpose reportCGI and si-RequestForHO set to
TRUE. The start of T3 is the instant when the last TTI containing the RRC message implying SI reading is sent to the
UE.

A.8.1.20 E-UTRAN FDD - FDD Intra-frequency identification of a new CGI


of E-UTRA cell using autonomous gaps with DRX for UE category 0

A.8.1.20.1 Test Purpose and Environment


This test is to verify the requirement for identification of a new CGI of E-UTRA cell with autonomous gaps in clause
8.5.2.1.4. The requirement is verified in a DRX configuration.

The test scenario comprises of one E-UTRA FDD carrier and two cells as given in tables A.8.1.20.1-1, A.8.1.20.1-2,
A.8.1.20.1-3 and A.8.1.20.1-4. The test consists of three successive time periods, with time durations of T1, T2 and T3
respectively. At the start of time duration T1, the UE does not have any timing information of cell 2. Starting T2, cell 2
becomes detectable and the UE is expected to detect and send a measurement report.

A RRC message implying SI reading shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the UE has reported Event A3. The
RRC message shall create a measurement report configuration with purpose reportCGI and si-RequestForHO set to
TRUE. The start of T3 is the instant when the last TTI containing the RRC message implying SI reading is sent to the
UE.

In the test UE needs to be provided at least once every 1280ms with new Timing Advance Command MAC control
element to restart the Time alignment timer to keep UE uplink time alignment. Furthermore UE sends scheduling
request (SR) to obtain allocation to send the measurement report on PUSCH.

A.8.1.23.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the Cat-M1 UE makes correct reporting of an event. This test will partly verify
the FDD intra-frequency cell search requirements for Cat-M1 UE in clause 8.13.2.1.1.1.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.1.23.1-1 and A.8.1.23.1-2 below. In the measurement control information it
is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Event A3 is used. The test consists of two successive time
periods, with time duration of T1, and T2 respectively. During time duration T1, the UE shall not have any timing
information of cell 2. At the beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 2 is increased to the same level as for cell 1,
and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A3.

A.8.1.24 E-UTRAN FDD-FDD intra-frequency event triggered reporting


under fading propagation conditions in synchronous cells for Cat-M1 UE
in CEModeA

A.8.1.24.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the Cat-M1 UE makes correct reporting of an event. This test will partly verify
the FDD intra-frequency cell search requirements in clause 8.13.2.1.1.1.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.1.24.1-1 and A.8.1.24.1-2 below. In the measurement control information it
is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Event A3 is used. MPDCCHs indicating new transmissions or
retransmissions shall be sent continuously to ensure that the UE would not enter the DRX state. The test consists of two
successive time periods, with time duration of T1, and T2 respectively. During time duration T1, the UE shall not have
any timing information of cell 2. At the beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 2 is increased to the same level
as for cell 1, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A3.

A.8.1.25 E-UTRAN FDD-FDD intra-frequency event triggered reporting


under fading propagation conditions in synchronous cells for Cat-M1 UE
in CEModeA in DRX

A.8.1.25.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of the two tests is to verify that the Cat-M1 UE makes correct reporting of an event in DRX. The tests will
partly verify the FDD intra-frequency cell search in DRX requirements in clause 8.13.2.1.1.2.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.1.25.1-1, A.8.1.25.1-2, A.8.1.25.1-3 and A.8.1.25.1-4. In the measurement
control information, it is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Event A3 is used. The test consists of
two successive time periods, with time duration of T1, and T2 respectively. During time duration T1, the UE shall not
have any timing information of cell 2. At the beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 2 is increased to the same
level as for cell 1, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A3.

In Test 1 UE needs to be provided at least once every 500ms with new Timing Advance Command MAC control
element to restart the Time alignment timer to keep UE uplink time alignment. Furhtermore UE is allocated with
PUSCH resource at every DRX cycle.

In Test 2 the uplink time aligment is not maintained and UE needs to use RACH to obtain UL allocation for
measurement reporting.

A.8.1.25.2 Test Requirements


In Test 1, the UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than
1.44 s from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the beginning
of time period T2 to the moment when the UE send the measurement report on PUSCH.

In Test 2, the UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than
25600 ms from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the
beginning of time period T2 to the moment when the UE starts to send preambles on the PRACH for scheduling request
(SR) to obtain allocation to send the measurement report on PUSCH.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE 1: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to one DRX cycle higher than the
measurement reporting delays above because UE is allowed to delay the initiation of the measurement reporting
procedure to the next until the Active Time.

NOTE 2: In order to calculate the rate of correct events the system simulator shall verify that it has received
correct Event A3 measurement report.

In Test 1, the UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than
1.44 s from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the beginning
of time period T2 to the moment when the UE send the measurement report on PUSCH.

In Test 2, the UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than
32 s from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the beginning
of time period T2 to the moment when the UE starts to send preambles on the PRACH for scheduling request (SR) to
obtain allocation to send the measurement report on PUSCH.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE 1: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to one DRX cycle higher than the measurement
reporting delays above because UE is allowed to delay the initiation of the measurement reporting
procedure to the next until the Active Time.

NOTE 2: In order to calculate the rate of correct events the system simulator shall verify that it has
received correct Event A3 measurement report.

A.8.1.29 E-UTRAN TDD intra-frequency event triggered reporting under


fading propagation conditions in synchronous cells for Cat-M1 UE in
CEModeA

A.8.1.29.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the Cat-M1 UE in CEModeA makes correct reporting of an event. This test will
partly verify the TDD intra-frequency cell search requirements in clause 8.13.2.1.3.1.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.1.29.1-1 and A.8.1.29.1-2 below. In the measurement control information it
is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Event A3 is used. The test consists of two successive time
periods, with time duration of T1 and T2 respectively. During time duration T1, the UE shall not have any timing
information of cell 2. At the beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 2 is increased to the same level as for cell 1,
and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A3.

A.8.1.30 E-UTRAN TDD intra-frequency event triggered reporting under


fading propagation conditions in synchronous cells for Cat-M1 UE in
CEModeA in DRX

A.8.1.30.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of the two tests is to verify that the Cat-M1 UE in CEModeA makes correct reporting of an event in DRX.
The tests will partly verify the TDD intra-frequency cell search in DRX requirements in clause 8.13.2.1.3.2.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.1.30.1-1, A.8.1.30.1-2, A.8.1.30.1-3 and A.8.1.30.1-4. In the measurement
control information, it is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Event A3 is used. The test consists of
two successive time periods, with time duration of T1, and T2 respectively. During time duration T1, the UE shall not
have any timing information of cell 2. At the beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 2 is increased to the same
level as for cell 1, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A3.

In Test 1 UE needs to be provided at least once every 500ms with new Timing Advance Command MAC control
element to restart the Time aligment timer to keep UE uplink time alignment. Furhtermore UE is allocated with PUSCH
resource at every DRX cycle.

In Test 2 the uplink time aligment is not maintained and UE needs to use RACH to obtain UL allocation for
measurement reporting.

A.8.1.35 E-UTRAN TDD intra-frequency event triggered reporting under


fading propagation conditions in synchronous cells for Cat-M1 UE in
CEModeB

A.8.1.35.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the Cat-M1 UE in CEModeB makes correct reporting of an event. This test will
partly verify the TDD intra-frequency cell search requirements in clause 8.13.3.1.3.1.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.1.35.1-1 and A.8.1.35.1-2 below. In the measurement control information it
is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Event A3 is used. The test consists of two successive time
periods, with time duration of T1 and T2 respectively. During time duration T1, the UE shall not have any timing
information of cell 2. At the beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 2 is increased to the same level as for cell 1,
and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A3.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

A.8.1.40 E-UTRAN FDD-FDD intra-frequency event triggered reporting


with DRX for UE configured with highSpeedEnhancedMeasFlag

A.8.1.40.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of the test is to verify that the UE makes correct reporting of an event in DRX when UE is configured with
highSpeedEnhancedMeasFlag. The tests will partly verify the FDD-FDD intra-frequency cell search in DRX
requirements for UE configured with highSpeedEnhancedMeasFlag in clause 8.1.2.2.1.2.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.1.40.1-1, A.8.1.40.1-2, A.8.1.40.1-3 and A.8.1.40.1-4. In the measurement
control information, it is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Event A3 is used. At the same time,
highSpeedEnhancedMeasFlag is broadcasted to UE. The test consists of two successive time periods, with time
duration of T1 and T2 respectively. During time duration T1, the UE shall not have any timing information of cell 2.

The uplink time aligment is not maintained and UE needs to use RACH to obtain UL allocation for measurement
reporting.

A.8.2.3 E-UTRAN TDD - TDD Intra-frequency identification of a new CGI


of E-UTRA cell using autonomous gaps

A.8.2.3.1 Test Purpose and Environment


This test is to verify the requirement for identification of a new CGI of E-UTRA cell with autonomous gaps in
clause 8.1.2.2.4.

The test scenario comprises of one E-UTRA TDD carrier and two cells as given in tables A.8.2.3.1-1 and A.8.2.3.1-2.
PDCCHs indicating new transmissions shall be sent continuously to ensure that the UE would have ACK/NACK
sending during identifying a new CGI of E-UTRAN cell. The test consists of three successive time periods, with time
durations of T1, T2 and T3 respectively. At the start of time duration T1, the UE does not have any timing information
of cell 2. Starting T2, cell 2 becomes detectable and the UE is expected to detect and send a measurement report.

A RRC message implying SI reading shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the UE has reported Event A3. The
RRC message shall create a measurement report configuration with purpose reportCGI and si-RequestForHO set to
TRUE. The start of T3 is the instant when the last TTI containing the RRC message implying SI reading is sent to the
UE.

= 167 ms, allow 170 ms.

The UE shall be scheduled continuously throughout the test, and from the start of T3 until 170 ms at least 47
ACK/NACK shall be detected as being transmitted by the UE.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The overall 47 ACK/NACK number is caused by two parts. Firstly, at least 35 ACK/NACK shall be sent
during identifying the cell global identifier of cell 2 according to the requirement for UL/DL
configuration #1 in Table 8.1.2.2.4.1-1 of Clause 8.1.2.2.4.1. Secondly, given that continuous DL data

A.8.2.4 E-UTRAN TDD - TDD Intra-frequency identification of a new CGI


of E-UTRA cell using autonomous gaps with DRX

A.8.2.4.1 Test Purpose and Environment


This test is to verify the requirement for identification of a new CGI of E-UTRA cell with autonomous gaps in
clause 8.1.2.2.4. The requirement is verified in a DRX configuration.

The test scenario comprises of one E-UTRA TDD carrier and two cells as given in tables A.8.2.4.1-1, A.8.2.4.1-2,
A.8.2.4.1-3 and A.8.2.4.1-4. The test consists of three successive time periods, with time durations of T1, T2 and T3
respectively. At the start of time duration T1, the UE does not have any timing information of cell 2. Starting T2, cell 2
becomes detectable and the UE is expected to detect and send a measurement report.

A RRC message implying SI reading shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the UE has reported Event A3. The
RRC message shall create a measurement report configuration with purpose reportCGI and si-RequestForHO set to
TRUE. The start of T3 is the instant when the last TTI containing the RRC message implying SI reading is sent to the
UE.

In the test UE needs to be provided at least once every 1280ms with new Timing Advance Command MAC control
element to restart the Time alignment timer to keep UE uplink time alignment. Furthermore UE sends scheduling
request (SR) to obtain allocation to send the measurement report on PUSCH.

UTRA cell using autonomous gaps

A.8.2.7.1 Test Purpose and Environment


This test is to verify the requirement for identification of a new CGI of E-UTRA cell with autonomous gaps in
clause 8.5.2.1.6.

The test scenario comprises of one E-UTRA TDD carrier and two cells as given in tables A.8.2.7.1-1 and A.8.2.7.1-2.
PDCCHs indicating new transmissions should be sent continuously to ensure that the UE would have ACK/NACK
sending during identifying a new CGI of E-UTRAN cell. The test consists of three successive time periods, with time
durations of T1, T2 and T3 respectively. At the start of time duration T1, the UE does not have any timing information
of cell 2. Starting T2, cell 2 becomes detectable and the UE is expected to detect and send a measurement report.

A RRC message implying SI reading shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the UE has reported Event A3. The
RRC message shall create a measurement report configuration with purpose reportCGI and si-RequestForHO set to
TRUE. The start of T3 is the instant when the last TTI containing the RRC message implying SI reading is sent to the
UE.

A.8.2.7.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall transmit a measurement report containing the cell global identifier of cell 2 within 210 milliseconds from
the start of T3.

Test requirement = RRC Procedure delay + Tidentify_CGI_LC- UE, intra + reporting delay

= 15 + 190 + 2ms from the start of T3

= 207 ms, allow 210 ms.

The UE shall be scheduled continuously throughout the test, and from the start of T3 until 210 ms at least 66
ACK/NACK shall be detected as being transmitted by the UE.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The overall 66 ACK/NACK number is caused by two parts. Firstly, at least 54 ACK/NACK shall be sent
during identifying the cell global identifier of cell 2 according to the requirement for UL/DL
configuration #1 in Table 8.1.2.2.4.1-1 of Clause 8.1.2.2.4.1. Secondly, given that continuous DL data
allocation, additional 12 ACK/NACK shall be sent from the start of T3 until 210 ms excludes 190 ms for
identifying the cell global identifier of cell 2.

A.8.2.8 E-UTRAN TDD Intra-frequency identification of a new CGI of E-


UTRA cell using autonomous gaps with DRX

A.8.2.8.1 Test Purpose and Environment


This test is to verify the requirement for identification of a new CGI of E-UTRA cell with autonomous gaps in
clause 8.5.2.1.6. The requirement is verified in a DRX configuration.

The test scenario comprises of one E-UTRA TDD carrier and two cells as given in tables A.8.2.8.1-1, A.8.2.8.1-2,
A.8.2.8.1-3 and A.8.2.8.1-4. The test consists of three successive time periods, with time durations of T1, T2 and T3
respectively. At the start of time duration T1, the UE does not have any timing information of cell 2. Starting T2, cell 2
becomes detectable and the UE is expected to detect and send a measurement report.

A RRC message implying SI reading shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the UE has reported Event A3. The
RRC message shall create a measurement report configuration with purpose reportCGI and si-RequestForHO set to
TRUE. The start of T3 is the instant when the last TTI containing the RRC message implying SI reading is sent to the
UE.

In the test UE needs to be provided at least once every 1280ms with new Timing Advance Command MAC control
element to restart the Time alignment timer to keep UE uplink time alignment. Furthermore UE sends scheduling
request (SR) to obtain allocation to send the measurement report on PUSCH.

A.8.2.11.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 12800 ms
from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the beginning of
time period T2 to the moment when the UE starts to send preambles on the PRACH for scheduling request (SR) to
obtain allocation to send the measurement report on PUSCH.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to one DRX cycle higher than the measurement
reporting delays above because UE is allowed to delay the initiation of the measurement reporting
procedure to the next until the Active Time.

NOTE 2: In order to calculate the rate of correct events the system simulator shall verify that it has received correct
Event A3 measurement report.

A.8.2.12 E-UTRAN TDD-TDD intra-frequency event triggered reporting


under fading propagation conditions in synchronous cells for UE
category 0

A.8.2.12.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE makes correct reporting of an event. This test case is applicable to UE
category 0 as defined in Section 3.1. This test will partly verify the TDD intra-frequency cell search requirements in
clause 8.5.2.1.3.1.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.2.12.1-1 and A.8.2.12.1-2 below. In the measurement control information it
is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Event A3 is used. PDCCHs indicating new transmissions or
retransmissions should be sent continuously to ensure that the UE would not enter the DRX state. The test consists of
two successive time periods, with time duration of T1, and T2 respectively. During time duration T1, the UE shall not
have any timing information of cell 2.

A.8.2.13 E-UTRAN TDD-TDD intra-frequency event triggered reporting


under fading propagation conditions in synchronous cells with DRX for
UE category 0

A.8.2.13.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of the two tests is to verify that the UE makes correct reporting of an event in DRX. This test case is
applicable to UE category 0 as defined in Section 3.1. The tests will partly verify the TDD-TDD intra-frequency cell
search in DRX requirements in clause 8.5.2.1.3.2.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.2.13.1-1, A.8.2.13.1-2, A.8.2.13.1-3 and A.8.2.13.1-4. In the measurement
control information, it is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Event A3 is used. The test consists of
two successive time periods, with time duration of T1, and T2 respectively. During time duration T1, the UE shall not
have any timing information of cell 2.

In Test 1 UE needs to be provided at least once every 500ms with new Timing Advance Command MAC control
element to restart the Time aligment timer to keep UE uplink time alignment. Furhtermore UE is allocated with PUSCH
resource at every DRX cycle.

In Test 2 the uplink time aligment is not maintained and UE needs to use RACH to obtain UL allocation for
measurement reporting.

A.8.3.3.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 6400 ms
from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the beginning of
time period T2 to the moment when the UE starts to send preambles on the PRACH for scheduling request (SR) to
obtain allocation to send the measurement report on PUSCH.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE 1: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to one DRX cycle higher than the measurement
reporting delays above because UE is allowed to delay the initiation of the measurement reporting
procedure to the next until the Active Time.

NOTE 2: In order to calculate the rate of correct events the system simulator shall verify that it has received correct
Event A3 measurement report.

A.8.3.4 E-UTRAN FDD - FDD Inter-frequency identification of a new CGI


of E-UTRA cell using autonomous gaps

A.8.3.4.1 Test Purpose and Environment


This test is to verify the requirement for identification of a new CGI of E-UTRA cell with autonomous gaps in
clause 8.1.2.3.5.

The test scenario comprises of two E-UTRA FDD carriers and one cell on each carrier as given in tables A.8.3.4.1-1 and
A.8.3.4.1-2. PDCCHs indicating new transmissions shall be sent continuously to ensure that the UE would have
ACK/NACK sending during identifying a new CGI of E-UTRAN cell. The test consists of three successive time
periods, with time durations of T1, T2 and T3 respectively. At the start of time duration T1, the UE does not have any
timing information of cell 2. Starting T2, cell 2 becomes detectable and the UE is expected to detect and send a
measurement report. Gap pattern configuration with id #0 as specified in Table 8.1.2.1-1 is configured before T2 begins
to enable inter-frequency monitoring.

A RRC message implying SI reading shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the UE has reported Event A3. The
RRC message shall create a measurement report configuration with purpose reportCGI and si-RequestForHO set to
TRUE. The start of T3 is the instant when the last TTI containing the RRC message implying SI reading is sent to the
UE. Measurement gaps shall be deconfigured before the start of T3.

A.8.3.4.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall transmit a measurement report containing the cell global identifier of cell 2 within 170 milliseconds from
the start of T3.

Test requirement = RRC Procedure delay + Tidentify_CGI, inter + reporting delay

= 15 + 150 + 2ms from the start of T3

= 167 ms, allow 170 ms.

The UE shall be scheduled continuously throughout the test, and from the start of T3 until 170 ms at least 80
ACK/NACK shall be detected as being transmitted by the UE.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The overall 80 ACK/NACK number is caused by two parts. Firstly, at least 60 ACK/NACK shall be sent
during identifying the cell global identifier of cell 2 according to the requirement in Clause 8.1.2.3.5.1.
Secondly, given that continuous DL data allocation, and the measurement gaps have been deconfigured
before the start of T3, additional 20 ACK/NACK shall be sent from the start of T3 until 170 ms excludes
150 ms for identifying the cell global identifier of cell 2.

A.8.3.5 E-UTRAN FDD - FDD Inter-frequency identification of a new CGI


of E-UTRA cell using autonomous gaps with DRX
This test is to verify the requirement for identification of a new CGI of E-UTRA cell with autonomous gaps in
clause 8.1.2.3.5. The requirement is verified in a DRX configuration.

The test scenario comprises of two E-UTRA FDD carriers and one cell on each carrier as given in tables A.8.3.5.1-1 ,
A.8.3.5.1-2, A.8.3.5.1-3 and A.8.3.5.1-4. The test consists of three successive time periods, with time durations of T1,
T2 and T3 respectively. At the start of time duration T1, the UE does not have any timing information of cell 2. Starting
T2, cell 2 becomes detectable and the UE is expected to detect and send a measurement report. Gap pattern
configuration with id #0 as specified in Table 8.1.2.1-1 is configured before T2 begins to enable inter-frequency
monitoring.

A RRC message implying SI reading shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the UE has reported Event A3. The
RRC message shall create a measurement report configuration with purpose reportCGI and si-RequestForHO set to
TRUE. The start of T3 is the instant when the last TTI containing the RRC message implying SI reading is sent to the
UE. Measurement gaps shall be deconfigured before the start of T3.

In the test UE needs to be provided at least once every 1280ms with new Timing Advance Command MAC control
element to restart the Time alignment timer to keep UE uplink time alignment. Furthermore UE sends scheduling
request (SR) to obtain allocation to send the measurement report on PUSCH.

A.8.3.7.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall send Event A3 triggered measurement reports for cells 2, 3 and 4, with a measurement reporting delay less
than 30.72s from the beginning of time period T2.
Release 15 654 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to 2xTTIDCCH higher than the measurement
reporting delays above because of TTI insertion uncertainty of the measurement report in DCCH.

A.8.3.8 FDD-FDD Interfrequency correct reporting of measurement


events with reduced performance group configured, non DRX

A.8.3.8.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE makes correct reporting of an event. This test will partly verify the
FDD-FDD inter-frequency cell measurement requirements for increased UE carrier monitoring in clause 8.1.2.3.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.3.8.1-1, A.8.3.8.1-2 and A.8.3.8.1-3. In this test, there are 4 cells on
different carrier frequencies and gap pattern configuration #0 as defined in table A.8.3.8.1-1 is provided.

In the measurement control information, it is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Events A3 is used.
The test consists of two successive time periods for every reptitaion, with time duration of T1, and T2 respectively.
During time duration T1, the UE shall not have any timing information of neighoubour cells. At the start of each
repetition of T1, the test equipment provides signals for cell 1 (serving cell), and cells 2, 3 and 4 which are selected
from the 8 cells which are configured in the UE neighbour cell list. Cells 2, 3 and 4 are chosen randomly, such that one
frequency belongs to the normal performance group and two frequencies belong to the reduced performance group.

A.8.3.9 FDD-FDD Inter-frequency correct reporting of measurement


events with reduced performance group configured, DRX

A.8.3.9.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE makes correct reporting of an event in DRX. This test will partly verify
the FDD-FDD inter-frequency cell search requirements when DRX is used in clause 8.1.2.3.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.3.9.1-1, A.8.3.9.1-2, A.8.3.9.1-3 and A.8.3.9.1-4. In this test, there are four
cells on different carrier frequencies and gap pattern configuration # 0 as defined in Table 8.1.2.1-1 is provided.

The UE needs to be provided at least once every 500ms with new Timing Advance Command MAC control element to

than 13.2s (cell 2) and 153.6s (cell 3 and 4) from the beginning of time period T2.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to 2xTTIDCCH higher than the measurement

Where:

When DRX cycle is 160ms, the delay requirement of cell identification and measurement period are specified in section
8.1.2.3.1.2 and Non DRX Requirements in clause 8.1.2.3.1.1 are applicable.

The requirement of inter frequency cell identification delay are specified as

480
TIdentify_Inter  TBasic_Identify_Inter   N freq , n  K n ms (normal performance) and
TInter1

480
TIdentify_Inter  TBasic_Identify_Inter   N freq , r  K r ms (reduced performance)
TInter1

TBasic_Identify_inter 480ms, See section 8.1.2.3.1.1

TInter1 60ms, See section 8.1.2.1

Nfreq,n and Nfreq,r 3 and 5 set in this test case.

Kn and Kr 8/7 and 8, See section 8.1.2.1.1a.

This gives 13165.7ms for cells 2 on normal carrier, and 153600ms for cell 3 and cell 4 on reduced carriers for Event A3
triggered measurement reporting delay. The test requirements allow 13.2s and 153.6s.

A.8.3.11.2 Test Requirement


The UE shall send one Event A4 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 10240 ms
from the beginning of time period T2. During the test, downlink traffic is continuously scheduled From the start of T1
until the measurement report is received during T2, at least [100]% of all expected ACK/NACKs shall be transmitted by
the UE.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to 2xTTIDCCH higher than the measurement
reporting delays above because of TTI insertion uncertainty of the measurement report in DCCH.

A.8.3.12 E-UTRAN FDD-FDD Inter-frequency event triggered reporting


under fading propagation conditions in asynchronous cells for UE
category M1 with discontinuous MPDCCH monitoring in CEModeA

A.8.3.12.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the Cat-M1 UE makes correct reporting of an event with discontinuous
MPDCCH monitoring. This test will partly verify the FDD-FDD inter-frequency cell search requirements in clause
8.13.2.6.1.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.3.12.1-1 and A.8.3.12.1-2 below. In the measurement control information it
is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Event A3 is used. The test consists of two successive time
periods, with time duration of T1, and T2 respectively. During time duration T1, the UE shall not have any timing
information of cell 2. At the beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 2 is increased to the same level as for cell 1,
and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A3.

A.8.3.16.2 Test Requirement


In Test 1, the UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than
6.4 s from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the beginning
of time period T2 to the moment when the UE send the measurement report on PUSCH.

In Test 2, the UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than
51.2 s from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the beginning
of time period T2 to the moment when the UE starts to send preambles on the PRACH for scheduling request (SR) to
obtain allocation to send the measurement report on PUSCH.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE 1: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to one DRX cycle higher than the measurement
reporting delays above because UE is allowed to delay the initiation of the measurement reporting
procedure to the next until the Active Time.

NOTE 2: In order to calculate the rate of correct events the system simulator shall verify that it has received correct
Event A3 measurement report.

consists of two successive time periods, with time duration of T1, and T2 respectively. During time duration T1, the UE
shall not have any timing information of cell 2. At the beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 2 is increased to
the same level as for cell 1, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A3.

In Test 1 UE needs to be provided at least once every 500ms with new Timing Advance Command MAC control
element to restart the Time alignment timer to keep UE uplink time alignment. Furhtermore UE is allocated with
PUSCH resource at every DRX cycle.

In Test 2 the uplink time aligment is not maintained and UE needs to use RACH to obtain UL allocation for
measurement reporting.

A.8.3.17.2 Test Requirement


In Test 1, the UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than
6.4 s from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the beginning
of time period T2 to the moment when the UE send the measurement report on PUSCH.

In Test 2, the UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than
51.2 s from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the beginning
of time period T2 to the moment when the UE starts to send preambles on the PRACH for scheduling request (SR) to
obtain allocation to send the measurement report on PUSCH.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE 1: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to one DRX cycle higher than the measurement
reporting delays above because UE is allowed to delay the initiation of the measurement reporting
procedure to the next until the Active Time.

A.8.3.18 E-UTRAN FDD-FDD inter-frequency event triggered reporting


under fading propagation conditions in asynchronous cells for UE
category M1 in CEModeB in DRX

A.8.3.18.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the Cat-M1 UE makes correct reporting of an event. This test will partly verify
the FDD-FDD inter-frequency cell search requirements in clause 8.13.3.5.1.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.3.18.1-1, A.8.3.18.1-2, A.8.3.18.1-3 and A.8.3.18.1-4 below. In the
measurement control information it is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Event A3 is used. The test
consists of two successive time periods, with time duration of T1, and T2 respectively. During time duration T1, the UE
shall not have any timing information of cell 2. At the beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 2 is increased to
the same level as for cell 1, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A3.

In Test 1 UE needs to be provided at least once every 500ms with new Timing Advance Command MAC control
element to restart the Time alignment timer to keep UE uplink time alignment. Furhtermore UE is allocated with
PUSCH resource at every DRX cycle.

In Test 2 the uplink time aligment is not maintained and UE needs to use RACH to obtain UL allocation for
measurement reporting.

A.8.4.2.2 Test Requirements


In Test1 the UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than
3840 ms from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the
beginning of time period T2, to the moment when the UE send the measurement report on PUSCH.

In Test2 the UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than
20*1280ms from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the
beginning of time period T2, to the moment when the UE starts to send preambles on the PRACH for scheduling
request (SR) to obtain allocation to send the measurement report on PUSCH.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE 1: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to one DRX cycle higher than the measurement
reporting delays above because UE is allowed to delay the initiation of the measurement reporting
procedure to the next until the Active Time.

NOTE 2: In order to calculate the rate of correct events the system simulator shall verify that it has received correct
Event A3 measurement report.

A.8.4.3 E-UTRAN TDD-TDD inter-frequency event triggered reporting


under AWGN propagation conditions in synchronous cells with DRX
when L3 filtering is used

A.8.4.3.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE makes correct reporting of an event in DRX when L3 filtering is used.
This test will partly verify the TDD-TDD inter-frequency cell search in DRX requirements in clause 8.1.2.3.2.2 and the
UE behaviour with the filterCoefficent defined in TS 36.331 [2].

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.4.3.1-1, A.8.4.3.1-2, A.8.4.3.1-3 and A.8.4.3.1-4. In the measurement
control information, it is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Event A3 and the filter coefficient is
used. The test consists of two successive time periods, with time duration of T1, and T2 respectively. In this test, there
are two cells on different carrier frequencies and gap pattern configuration # 1 as defined in Table 8.1.2.1-1 is provided.

The uplink time aligment is not maintained and UE needs to use RACH to obtain UL allocation for measurement
reporting.

A.8.4.4 E-UTRAN TDD - TDD Inter-frequency identification of a new CGI


of E-UTRA cell using autonomous gaps

A.8.4.4.1 Test Purpose and Environment


This test is to verify the requirement for identification of a new CGI of E-UTRA cell with autonomous gaps in
clause 8.1.2.3.7.

The test scenario comprises of two E-UTRA TDD carriers and one cell on each carrier as given in tables A.8.4.4.1-1
and A.8.4.4.1-2. PDCCHs indicating new transmissions shall be sent continuously to ensure that the UE would have
ACK/NACK sending during identifying a new CGI of E-UTRAN cell. The test consists of three successive time
periods, with time durations of T1, T2 and T3 respectively. At the start of time duration T1, the UE does not have any
timing information of cell 2. Starting T2, cell 2 becomes detectable and the UE is expected to detect and send a
measurement report. Gap pattern configuration with id #0 as specified in Table 8.1.2.1-1 is configured before T2 begins
to enable inter-frequency monitoring.

A RRC message implying SI reading shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the UE has reported Event A3. The
RRC message shall create a measurement report configuration with purpose reportCGI and si-RequestForHO set to
TRUE. The start of T3 is the instant when the last TTI containing the RRC message implying SI reading is sent to the
UE. Measurement gaps shall be deconfigured before the start of T3.

A.8.4.4.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall transmit a measurement report containing the cell global identifier of cell 2 within 170 milliseconds from
the start of T3.

Test requirement = RRC Procedure delay + Tidentify_CGI, inter + reporting delay

= 15 + 150 + 2ms from the start of T3

= 167 ms, allow 170 ms.

The UE shall be scheduled continuously throughout the test, and from the start of T3 until 170 ms at least 42
ACK/NACK shall be detected as being transmitted by the UE.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The overall 42 ACK/NACK number is caused by two parts. Firstly, at least 30 ACK/NACK shall be sent
during identifying the cell global identifier of cell 2 according to the requiremenet in Clause 8.1.2.3.7.1.
Secondly, given that continuous DL data allocation, and the measurement gaps have been deconfigured
before the start of T3, additional 12 ACK/NACK shall be sent from the start of T3 until 170 ms excludes
150 ms for identifying the cell global identifier of cell 2.

A.8.4.5 E-UTRAN TDD - TDD Inter-frequency identification of a new CGI


of E-UTRA cell using autonomous gaps with DRX

A.8.4.5.1 Test Purpose and Environment


This test is to verify the requirement for identification of a new CGI of E-UTRA cell with autonomous gaps in
clause 8.1.2.3.7. The requirement is verified in a DRX configuration.

The test scenario comprises of two E-UTRA TDD carriers and one cell on each carrier as given in tables A.8.4.5.1-1,
A.8.4.5.1-2, A.8.4.5.1-3 and A.8.4.5.1-4. The test consists of three successive time periods, with time durations of T1,
T2 and T3 respectively. At the start of time duration T1, the UE does not have any timing information of cell 2. Starting
T2, cell 2 becomes detectable and the UE is expected to detect and send a measurement report. Gap pattern
configuration with id #0 as specified in Table 8.1.2.1-1 is configured before T2 begins to enable inter-frequency
monitoring.

A RRC message implying SI reading shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the UE has reported Event A3. The
RRC message shall create a measurement report configuration with purpose reportCGI and si-RequestForHO set to
TRUE. The start of T3 is the instant when the last TTI containing the RRC message implying SI reading is sent to the
UE. Measurement gaps shall be deconfigured before the start of T3.

In the test UE needs to be provided at least once every 1280ms with new Timing Advance Command MAC control
element to restart the Time alignment timer to keep UE uplink time alignment. Furthermore UE sends scheduling
request (SR) to obtain allocation to send the measurement report on PUSCH.

A.8.4.7.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall send Event A3 triggered measurement reports for cells 2, 3 and 4, with a measurement reporting delay less
than 61.44s from the beginning of time period T2.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to 2xTTIDCCH higher than the measurement
reporting delays above because of TTI insertion uncertainty of the measurement report in DCCH.

A.8.4.8 TDD-TDD Interfrequency correct reporting of measurement


events with reduced performance group configured, non DRX

A.8.4.8.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE makes correct reporting of an event. This test will partly verify the
TDD-TDD inter-frequency cell measurement requirements for increased UE carrier monitoring in clause 8.1.2.3.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.4.8.1-1, A.8.4.8.1-2 and A.8.4.8.1-3. In this test, there are 4 cells on
different carrier frequencies and gap pattern configuration #0 as defined in table A.8.4.8.1-1 is provided.

In the measurement control information, it is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Events A3 is used.
The test consists of two successive time periods for every reptitaion, with time duration of T1, and T2 respectively.
During time duration T1, the UE shall not have any timing information of neighoubour cells. At the start of each
repetition of T1, the test equipment provides signals for cell 1 (serving cell), and cells 2, 3 and 4 which are selected
from the 8 cells which are configured in the UE neighbour cell list. Cells 2, 3 and 4 are chosen randomly, such that one
frequency belongs to the normal performance group and two frequencies belong to the reduced performance group.

A.8.4.9 TDD-TDD Inter-frequency correct reporting of measurement


events with reduced performance group configured, DRX

A.8.4.9.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE makes correct reporting of an event in DRX. This test will partly verify
the TDD-TDD inter-frequency cell search requirements when DRX is used in clause 8.1.2.3.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.4.9.1-1, A.8.4.9.1-2, A.8.4.9.1-3 and A.8.4.9.1-4. In this test, there are four

The UE shall send Event A3 triggered measurement reports for cells 2, 3 and 4, with a measurement reporting delay less than 13.2s
(cell 2) and 153.6s (cell 3 and 4) from the beginning of time period T2.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to 2xTTIDCCH higher than the measurement reporting delays
above because of TTI insertion uncertainty of the measurement report.

Where:

When DRX cycle is 160ms, the delay requirement of cell identification and measurement period are specified in section 8.1.2.3.1.2
and Non DRX Requirements in clause 8.1.2.3.1.1 are applicable.

The requirement of inter frequency cell identification delay are specified as

480
TIdentify_Inter  TBasic_Identify_Inter   N freq , n  K n ms (normal performance) and
TInter1

480
TIdentify_Inter  TBasic_Identify_Inter   N freq , r  K r ms (reduced performance)
TInter1

TBasic_Identify_inter 480ms, See section 8.1.2.3.1.1

TInter1 60ms, See section 8.1.2.1

Nfreq,n and Nfreq,r 3 and 5 set in this test case.

Kn and Kr 8/7 and 8, See section 8.1.2.1.1a.

This gives 13165.7ms for cells 2 on normal carrier, and 153600ms for cell 3 and cell 4 on reduced carriers for Event A3 triggered
measurement reporting delay. The test requirements allow 13.2s and 153.6s.

In Test 1, the UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 6.4 s from
the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the beginning of time period T2 to
the moment when the UE send the measurement report on PUSCH.

In Test 2, the UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 51.2 s from
the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the beginning of time period T2 to
the moment when the UE starts to send preambles on the PRACH for scheduling request (SR) to obtain allocation to send the
measurement report on PUSCH.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE 1: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to one DRX cycle higher than the measurement reporting
delays above because UE is allowed to delay the initiation of the measurement reporting procedure to the next until

A.8.4.15.2 Test Requirement


In Test 1, the UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 641.6 s from
the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the beginning of time period T2 to
the moment when the UE send the measurement report on PUSCH.

In Test 2, the UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 1024 s from
the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the beginning of time period T2 to
the moment when the UE starts to send preambles on the PRACH for scheduling request (SR) to obtain allocation to send the
measurement report on PUSCH.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE 1: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to one DRX cycle higher than the measurement reporting
delays above because UE is allowed to delay the initiation of the measurement reporting procedure to the next until
the Active Time.

NOTE 2: In order to calculate the rate of correct events the system simulator shall verify that it has received correct Event A3
measurement report.

A.8.5.3 E-UTRAN FDD-UTRAN FDD event triggered reporting when DRX is


used under fading propagation conditions

A.8.5.3.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of these tests is to verify that the UE makes correct reporting of an event in DRX. These tests will partly verify the E-
UTRAN FDD-UTRAN FDD cell search requirements when DRX is used in clause 8.1.2.4.1.2.

In these tests, there are two cells, one E-UTRAN cell and one UTRAN cell, and gap pattern configuration # 0 as defined in Table
8.1.2.1-1 is provided.

The common test parameters are given in Table A.8.5.3.1-1. Cell specific test parameters are given in Table A.8.5.3.1-2 for E-
UTRAN and in Table A.8.5.3.1-5 for UTRAN. DRX configuration for Test1 and Test2 are given in Table A.8.5.2.1-3 and time
alignment timer and scheduling request related parameters in Table A.8.5.2.1-4.

In Test 1 UE needs to be provided at least once every 500ms with new Timing Advance Command MAC control element to restart
the Time aligment timer to keep UE uplink time alignment. Furhtermore UE is allocated with PUSCH resource at every DRX
cycle. In Test 2 the uplink time alignment is not maintained and UE needs to use RACH to obtain UL allocation for measurement
reporting.

In the measurement control information, it is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Event B1 is used. The tests
consist of two successive time periods, with time duration of T1, and T2 respectively. During time duration T1, the UE shall not
have any timing information of cell 2.

A.8.5.5 E- UTRAN FDD - UTRAN FDD identification of a new CGI of UTRAN cell
using autonomous gaps

A.8.5.5.1 Test Purpose and Environment


This test is to verify the requirement for identification of a new CGI of UTRA cell with autonomous gaps in clause 8.1.2.4.17.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.5.5.1-1, A.8.5.5.1-2 and A.8.5.5.1-3 below. The test consists of three successive time
periods, with time durations of T1, T2 and T3 respectively. At the start of time duration T1, the UE does not have any timing
information of cell 2. Starting T2, cell 2 becomes detectable and the UE is expected to detect and send a measurement report. Gap
pattern configuration with id #0 as specified in Table 8.1.2.1-1 is configured before T2 begins to enable inter-frequency monitoring.

A RRC message implying SI reading shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the UE has reported Event B1. The RRC
message shall create a measurement report configuration with purpose reportCGI and si-RequestForHO set to TRUE. The start of
T3 is the instant when the last TTI containing the RRC message implying SI reading is sent to the UE.

A.8.6.2 E- UTRAN TDD - UTRAN FDD identification of a new CGI of UTRAN cell
using autonomous gaps

A.8.6.2.1 Test Purpose and Environment


This test is to verify the requirement for identification of a new CGI of UTRA cell with autonomous gaps in clause 8.1.2.4.18.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.6.2.1-1, A.8.6.2.1-2 and A.8.6.2.1-3 below. The test consists of three successive time
periods, with time durations of T1, T2 and T3 respectively. At the start of time duration T1, the UE does not have any timing
information of cell 2. Starting T2, cell 2 becomes detectable and the UE is expected to detect and send a measurement report. Gap
pattern configuration with id #0 as specified in Table 8.1.2.1-1 is configured before T2 begins to enable inter-frequency monitoring.

A RRC message implying SI reading shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the UE has reported Event B1. The RRC
message shall create a measurement report configuration with purpose reportCGI and si-RequestForHO set to TRUE. The start of
T3 is the instant when the last TTI containing the RRC message implying SI reading is sent to the UE.

In Test1 the UE shall send one Event B1 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 6400ms from
the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the beginning of time period T2, to
the moment when the UE send the measurement report on PUSCH.

In Test2 the UE shall send one Event B1 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 25.6s from
the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the beginning of time period T2, to
the moment when the UE starts to send preambles on the PRACH for scheduling request (SR) to obtain allocation to send the
measurement report on PUSCH.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE 1: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to one DRX cycle higher than the measurement reporting
delays above because UE is allowed to delay the initiation of the measurement reporting procedure to the next until
the Active Time.

NOTE 2: In order to calculate the rate of correct events the system simulator shall verify that it has received correct Event B1
measurement report

A.8.7.3 E-UTRAN TDD - UTRAN TDD SON ANR cell search reporting in AWGN

A.8.8.2.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of these tests is to verify that the UE makes correct reporting of an event in DRX. These tests will partly verify the E-
UTRAN FDD-GSM cell search requirements when DRX is used in clause 8.1.2.4.5.2.

In these tests, there are two cells, one E-UTRAN cell and one GSM cell, and gap pattern configuration # 0 as defined in Table
8.1.2.1-1 is provided.

The common test parameters are given in Table A.8.8.2.1-1. Cell specific test parameters are given in Table A.8.8.2.1-2 for E-
UTRAN and in Table A.8.8.2.1-5 for GSM. DRX configuration for Test1 and Test2 are given in Table A.8.8.2.1-3 and time
alignment timer and scheduling request related parameters in Table A.8.8.2.1-4.

In Test 1 UE needs to be provided at least once every 500ms with new Timing Advance Command MAC control element to restart
the Time aligment timer to keep UE uplink time alignment. Furhtermore UE is allocated with PUSCH resource at every DRX
cycle. In Test 2 the uplink time alignment is not maintained and UE needs to use RACH to obtain UL allocation for measurement
reporting.

In the measurement control information, it is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Event B1 is used. The tests
consist of two successive time periods, with time duration of T1, and T2 respectively. During time duration T1, the UE shall not
have any timing information of cell 2.

A.8.10.2 E-UTRAN TDD-GSM event triggered reporting when DRX is used in


AWGN

A.8.10.2.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of these tests is to verify that the UE makes correct reporting of an event in DRX. These tests will partly verify the E-
UTRAN TDD-GSM cell search requirements when DRX is used in clause 8.1.2.4.6.

In these tests, there are two cells, one E-UTRAN cell and one GSM cell, and gap pattern configuration # 0 as defined in Table
8.1.2.1-1 is provided.

The common test parameters are given in Table A.8.10.2.1-1. Cell specific test parameters are given in Table A.8.10.2.1-2 for E-
UTRAN and in Table A.8.10.2.1-5 for GSM. DRX configuration for Test1 and Test2 are given in Table A.8.10.2.1-3 and time
alignment timer and scheduling request related parameters in Table A.8.10.2.1-4.

In Test 1 UE needs to be provided at least once every 500ms with new Timing Advance Command MAC control element to restart
the Time aligment timer to keep UE uplink time alignment. Furhtermore UE is allocated with PUSCH resource at every DRX
cycle. In Test 2 the uplink time alignment is not maintained and UE needs to use RACH to obtain UL allocation for measurement
reporting.

In the measurement control information, it is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Event B1 is used. The tests
consist of two successive time periods, with time duration of T1, and T2 respectively. During time duration T1, the UE shall not
have any timing information of cell 2.

In Test1 the UE shall send one Event B1 triggered measurement report including BSIC of cell # 2, with a measurement reporting
delay less than 3120 ms from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the
beginning of time period T2, to the moment when the UE send the measurement report on PUSCH.

In Test2 the UE shall send one Event B1 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 42.8 seconds
from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the beginning of time period
T2, to the moment when the UE starts to send preambles on the PRACH for scheduling request (SR) to obtain allocation to send
the measurement report on PUSCH.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE 1: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to one DRX cycle higher than the measurement reporting
delays above because UE is allowed to delay the initiation of the measurement reporting procedure to the next until
the Active Time.

NOTE 2: In order to calculate the rate of correct events the system simulator shall verify that it has received correct Event B1
measurement report

A.8.12 RSTD Intra-frequency Measurements


A.8.12.1 E-UTRAN FDD intra-frequency RSTD measurement reporting delay test
case

A.8.12.1.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of the test is to verify that the RSTD measurement meets the requirements specified in Clause 8.1.2.5.1 in an
environment with fading propagation conditions.

In the test there are three synchronous cells: Cell 1, Cell 2 and Cell 3. Cell 1 is the reference as well as the PCell. Cell 2 and Cell 3
are the neighbour cells. All cells are on the same RF channel.

The test consists of three consecutive time intervals, with duration of T1, T2 and T3. Cell 1 is active in T1, T2 and T3, whilst Cell 2
and Cell 3 are activated only in the beginning of T2. Cell 2 is active until the end of T3, and Cell 3 is active until the end of T2. The
beginning of the time interval T2 shall be aligned with the first PRS positioning subframe of a positioning occasion in the reference
cell, where the PRS positioning occasion is as defined in Clause 8.1.2.5.1. Cell 1 transmits PRS in T2, while Cell 2 transmits PRS
only in T3, and Cell 3 transmits PRS only in T2. Note: The information on when PRS is muted is conveyed to the UE using PRS
muting information.

The OTDOA assistance data as defined in TS 36.355, Clause 6.5.1, shall be provided to the UE during T1. The last TTI containing
the OTDOA assistance data shall be provided to the UE T ms before the start of T2, where T = 150 ms is the maximum
processing time of the OTDOA assistance data.

The test parameters are as given in Table A.8.12.1.1-1, Table A.8.12.1.1-2, Table A.8.12.1.1-3 and Table A.8.12.1.1-4.

A.8.12.3 E-UTRAN FDD intra-frequency RSTD measurement period test case in


CE Mode A

A.8.12.3.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of the test is to verify for Cat-M1 and Cat-M2 UE in CE Mode A that the RSTD measurement meets the requirements
specified in Sections 8.13.2.3.1 and 8.16.2.3.1, respectively, in an environment with fading propagation conditions. Test 1 is
applicable for Cat-M1 and Cat-M2 supporting 1.4 MHz UE RF bandwidth, while Test 2 is applicable for Cat-M2 supporting 5
MHz UE RF bandwidth.

In the test there are three synchronous cells: Cell 1, Cell 2 and Cell 3. Cell 1 is the reference as well as the PCell. Cell 2 and Cell 3
are the neighbour cells. All cells are on the same RF channel.

The test consists of three consecutive time intervals, with duration of T1, T2 and T3. Cell 1 is active in T1, T2 and T3, whilst Cell 2
and Cell 3 are activated only in the beginning of T2. Cell 2 is active until the end of T3, and Cell 3 is active until the end of T2. The
beginning of the time interval T2 shall be aligned with the first PRS positioning subframe of a positioning occasion in the reference
cell, where the PRS positioning occasion is as defined in Clause 8.1.2.5.1. Cell 1 transmits PRS in T2, while Cell 2 transmits PRS
only in T3, and Cell 3 transmits PRS only in T2. Note: The information on when PRS is muted is conveyed to the UE using PRS
muting information.

The OTDOA assistance data as defined in TS 36.355, Clause 6.5.1, shall be provided to the UE during T1. The last TTI containing
the OTDOA assistance data shall be provided to the UE T ms before the start of T2, where T = 150 ms is the maximum
processing time of the OTDOA assistance data.

The test parameters are as given in Table A.8.12.3.1-1, Table A.8.12.3.1-2, Table A.8.12.3.1-3 and Table A.8.12.3.1-4.

A.8.12.5 E-UTRAN TDD intra-frequency RSTD measurement period test case in


CE Mode A

A.8.12.5.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of the test is to verify for Cat-M1 and Cat-M2 UE in CE Mode A that the RSTD measurement meets the requirements
specified in Sections 8.13.2.3.2 and 8.16.2.3.2, respectively, in an environment with fading propagation conditions. Test 1 is
applicable for Cat-M1 and Cat-M2 supporting 1.4 MHz UE RF bandwidth, while Test 2 is applicable for Cat-M2 supporting 5
MHz UE RF bandwidth.

In the test there are three synchronous cells: Cell 1, Cell 2 and Cell 3. Cell 1 is the reference as well as the PCell. Cell 2 and Cell 3
are the neighbour cells. All cells are on the same RF channel.

The test consists of three consecutive time intervals, with duration of T1, T2 and T3. Cell 1 is active in T1, T2 and T3, whilst Cell 2
and Cell 3 are activated only in the beginning of T2. Cell 2 is active until the end of T3, and Cell 3 is active until the end of T2. The
beginning of the time interval T2 shall be aligned with the first PRS positioning subframe of a positioning occasion in the reference
cell, where the PRS positioning occasion is as defined in Clause 8.1.2.5.1. Cell 1 transmits PRS in T2, while Cell 2 transmits PRS
only in T3, and Cell 3 transmits PRS only in T2. Note: The information on when PRS is muted is conveyed to the UE using PRS
muting information.

The OTDOA assistance data as defined in TS 36.355, Clause 6.5.1, shall be provided to the UE during T1. The last TTI containing
the OTDOA assistance data shall be provided to the UE T ms before the start of T2, where T = 150 ms is the maximum
processing time of the OTDOA assistance data.

The test parameters are as given in Table A.8.12.5.1-1, Table A.8.12.5.1-2, Table A.8.12.5.1-3 and Table A.8.12.5.1-4.

A.8.12.7 E-UTRAN HD-FDD intra-frequency RSTD measurement period test case


in CE Mode B

A.8.12.7.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of the test is to verify for Cat-M1 and Cat-M2 UE in CE Mode B that the RSTD measurement meets the requirements
specified in Sections 8.13.3.3.3 and 8.16.3.1.3, respectively, in an environment with fading propagation conditions. Test 1 is
applicable for Cat-M1 and Cat-M2 supporting 1.4 MHz UE RF bandwidth, while Test 2 is applicable for Cat-M2 supporting 5
MHz UE RF bandwidth.

In the test there are three synchronous cells: Cell 1, Cell 2 and Cell 3. Cell 1 is the reference as well as the PCell. Cell 2 and Cell 3
are the neighbour cells. All cells are on the same RF channel.

The test consists of three consecutive time intervals, with duration of T1, T2 and T3. Cell 1 is active in T1, T2 and T3, whilst Cell 2
and Cell 3 are activated only in the beginning of T2. Cell 2 is active until the end of T3, and Cell 3 is active until the end of T2. The
beginning of the time interval T2 shall be aligned with the first PRS positioning subframe of a positioning occasion in the reference
cell, where the PRS positioning occasion is as defined in Clause 8.1.2.5.1. Cell 1 transmits PRS in T2, while Cell 2 transmits PRS
only in T3, and Cell 3 transmits PRS only in T2. Note: The information on when PRS is muted is conveyed to the UE using PRS
muting information.

The OTDOA assistance data as defined in TS 36.355, Clause 6.5.1, shall be provided to the UE during T1. The last TTI containing
the OTDOA assistance data shall be provided to the UE T ms before the start of T2, where T = 150 ms is the maximum
processing time of the OTDOA assistance data.

The test parameters are as given in Table A.8.12.7.1-1, Table A.8.12.7.1-2, Table A.8.12.7.1-3 and Table A.8.12.7.1-4.

are the neighbour cells. Cell 1 is on FDD RF channel 1. Cell 2 and Cell 3 are on a FDD RF channel 2.

The UE requires measurement gaps to perform inter-frequency measurements. Gap pattern configuration # 0 as defined in Table
8.1.2.1-1 is provided and configured to not overlap with PRS subframes of Cell 1.

The test consists of three consecutive time intervals, with duration of T1, T2 and T3. Cell 1 is active in T1, T2 and T3, whilst Cell 2
and Cell 3 are activated only in the beginning of T2. Cell 2 is active until the end of T3, and Cell 3 is active until the end of T2. The
beginning of the time interval T2 shall be aligned with the first PRS positioning subframe of a positioning occasion in the Cell 3,
where the PRS positioning occasion is as defined in Clause 8.1.2.5.1. Cell 1 and Cell 3 transmit PRS only in T2. Cell 2 transmits
PRS only in T3. Note: The information on when PRS is muted is conveyed to the UE using PRS muting information.

The OTDOA assistance data as defined in TS 36.355, Clause 6.5.1, shall be provided to the UE during T1. The last TTI containing
the OTDOA assistance data shall be provided to the UE T ms before the start of T2, where T = 150 ms is the maximum
processing time of the OTDOA assistance data. The measurement gap configuration is known and configured in the UE at the start
of T1. DRX is configured before T2.

The test parameters are as given in Table A.8.13.1.1-1, Table A.8.13.1.1-2, Table A.8.13.1.1-3 and Table A.8.13.1.1-4.

are the neighbour cells. Cell 1 is on FDD RF channel 1. Cell 2 and Cell 3 are on a FDD RF channel 2.

The UE requires measurement gaps to perform inter-frequency measurements. Gap pattern configuration # 0 as defined in Table
8.1.2.1-1 is provided and configured to not overlap with PRS subframes of Cell 1.

The test consists of three consecutive time intervals, with duration of T1, T2 and T3. Cell 1 is active in T1, T2 and T3, whilst Cell 2
and Cell 3 are activated only in the beginning of T2. Cell 2 is active until the end of T3, and Cell 3 is active until the end of T2. The
beginning of the time interval T2 shall be aligned with the first PRS positioning subframe of a positioning occasion in the reference
cell, where the PRS positioning occasion is as defined in Clause 8.1.2.5.1. Cell 1 transmits PRS in T2, while Cell 2 transmits PRS
only in T3, and Cell 3 transmits PRS only in T2. Note: The information on when PRS is muted is conveyed to the UE using PRS
muting information.

The OTDOA assistance data as defined in TS 36.355, Clause 6.5.1, shall be provided to the UE during T1. The last TTI containing
the OTDOA assistance data shall be provided to the UE T ms before the start of T2, where T = 150 ms is the maximum
processing time of the OTDOA assistance data. The measurement gap configuration is known and configured in the UE at the start
of T1. DRX is configured before T2.

The test parameters are as given in Table A.8.13.3.1-1, Table A.8.13.3.1-2, Table A.8.13.3.1-3 and Table A.8.13.3.1-4.

A.8.13.6 E-UTRAN FDD inter-frequency RSTD measurement period test case in


CE Mode B

A.8.13.6.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of the test is to verify for Cat-M1 and Cat-M2 UE in CEMode B that the RSTD measurement meets the requirements
specified in Sections 8.13.3.7.1 and 8.16.3.2.1, respectively, in an environment with fading propagation conditions. Test 1 is
applicable for Cat-M1 and Cat-M2 supporting 1.4 MHz UE RF bandwidth, while Test 2 is applicable for Cat-M2 supporting 5
MHz UE RF bandwidth.

In the test there are three synchronous cells: Cell 1, Cell 2 and Cell 3. Cell 1 is the reference as well as the PCell. Cell 2 and Cell 3
are the neighbour cells. Cell 1 is on FDD RF channel 1. Cell 2 and Cell 3 are on a FDD RF channel 2.

The UE requires measurement gaps to perform inter-frequency measurements. Gap pattern configuration # 0 as defined in Table
8.1.2.1-1 is provided and configured to not overlap with PRS subframes of Cell 1.

The test consists of three consecutive time intervals, with duration of T1, T2 and T3. Cell 1 is active in T1, T2 and T3, whilst Cell 2
and Cell 3 are activated only in the beginning of T2. Cell 2 is active until the end of T3, and Cell 3 is active until the end of T2. The
beginning of the time interval T2 shall be aligned with the first PRS positioning subframe of a positioning occasion in the reference
cell, where the PRS positioning occasion is as defined in Clause 8.1.2.5.1. Cell 1 transmits PRS in T2, while Cell 2 transmits PRS
only in T3, and Cell 3 transmits PRS only in T2. Note: The information on when PRS is muted is conveyed to the UE using PRS
muting information.

The OTDOA assistance data as defined in TS 36.355, Clause 6.5.1, shall be provided to the UE during T1. The last TTI containing
the OTDOA assistance data shall be provided to the UE T ms before the start of T2, where T = 150 ms is the maximum
processing time of the OTDOA assistance data. The measurement gap configuration is known and configured in the UE at the start
of T1. DRX is configured before T2.

The test parameters are as given in Table A.8.13.6.1-1, Table A.8.13.6.1-2, Table A.8.13.6.1-3 and Table A.8.13.6.1-4.

A.8.13.7 E-UTRAN HD-FDD inter-frequency RSTD measurement period test case


in CE Mode B

A.8.13.7.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of the test is to verify for Cat-M1 and Cat-M2 UE in CE Mode B that the RSTD measurement meets the requirements
specified in Sections 8.13.3.7.3 and 8.16.3.2.3, respectively, in an environment with fading propagation conditions. Test 1 is
applicable for Cat-M1 and Cat-M2 supporting 1.4 MHz UE RF bandwidth, while Test 2 is applicable for Cat-M2 supporting 5
MHz UE RF bandwidth.

In the test there are three synchronous cells: Cell 1, Cell 2 and Cell 3. Cell 1 is the reference as well as the PCell. Cell 2 and Cell 3
are the neighbour cells. Cell 1 is on FDD RF channel 1. Cell 2 and Cell 3 are on a FDD RF channel 2.

The UE requires measurement gaps to perform inter-frequency measurements. Gap pattern configuration # 0 as defined in Table
8.1.2.1-1 is provided and configured to not overlap with PRS subframes of Cell 1.

The test consists of three consecutive time intervals, with duration of T1, T2 and T3. Cell 1 is active in T1, T2 and T3, whilst Cell 2
and Cell 3 are activated only in the beginning of T2. Cell 2 is active until the end of T3, and Cell 3 is active until the end of T2. The
beginning of the time interval T2 shall be aligned with the first PRS positioning subframe of a positioning occasion in the reference
cell, where the PRS positioning occasion is as defined in Clause 8.1.2.5.1. Cell 1 transmits PRS in T2, while Cell 2 transmits PRS
only in T3, and Cell 3 transmits PRS only in T2. Note: The information on when PRS is muted is conveyed to the UE using PRS
muting information.

The OTDOA assistance data as defined in TS 36.355, Clause 6.5.1, shall be provided to the UE during T1. The last TTI containing

A.8.13.8 E-UTRAN TDD inter-frequency RSTD measurement period test case in


CE Mode B

A.8.13.8.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of the test is to verify for Cat-M1 and Cat-M2 UE in CE Mode B that the RSTD measurement meets the requirements
specified in Sections 8.13.3.7.2 and 8.16.3.2.2, respectively, in an environment with fading propagation conditions. Test 1 is
applicable for Cat-M1 and Cat-M2 supporting 1.4 MHz UE RF bandwidth, while Test 2 is applicable for Cat-M2 supporting 5
MHz UE RF bandwidth.

In the test there are three synchronous cells: Cell 1, Cell 2 and Cell 3. Cell 1 is the reference as well as the PCell. Cell 2 and Cell 3
are the neighbour cells. Cell 1 is on FDD RF channel 1. Cell 2 and Cell 3 are on a FDD RF channel 2.

The UE requires measurement gaps to perform inter-frequency measurements. Gap pattern configuration # 0 as defined in Table
8.1.2.1-1 is provided and configured to not overlap with PRS subframes of Cell 1.

The test consists of three consecutive time intervals, with duration of T1, T2 and T3. Cell 1 is active in T1, T2 and T3, whilst Cell 2
and Cell 3 are activated only in the beginning of T2. Cell 2 is active until the end of T3, and Cell 3 is active until the end of T2. The
beginning of the time interval T2 shall be aligned with the first PRS positioning subframe of a positioning occasion in the reference
cell, where the PRS positioning occasion is as defined in Clause 8.1.2.5.1. Cell 1 transmits PRS in T2, while Cell 2 transmits PRS
only in T3, and Cell 3 transmits PRS only in T2. Note: The information on when PRS is muted is conveyed to the UE using PRS
muting information.

The OTDOA assistance data as defined in TS 36.355, Clause 6.5.1, shall be provided to the UE during T1. The last TTI containing
the OTDOA assistance data shall be provided to the UE T ms before the start of T2, where T = 150 ms is the maximum
processing time of the OTDOA assistance data. The measurement gap configuration is known and configured in the UE at the start
of T1. DRX is configured before T2.

The test parameters are as given in Table A.8.13.8.1-1, Table A.8.13.8.1-2, Table A.8.13.8.1-3 and Table A.8.13.8.1-4.

A.8.14.2 E-UTRAN TDD-FDD Inter-frequency event triggered reporting when DRX


is used under fading propagation conditions in asynchronous cells

A.8.14.2.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of these tests is to verify that the UE makes correct reporting of an event in DRX. These test will partly verify the
TDD-FDD inter-frequency cell search requirements when DRX is used in clause 8.1.2.3.

879
Release 15 880 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

The common test parameters are given in Tables A.8.14.2.1-1 and A.8.14.2.1-2. DRX configuration for Test1 and Test2 are given in
Table A.8.14.2.1-3 and time alignment timer and scheduling request related parameters in Table A.8.14.2.1-4. In these tests, there
are two cells on different carrier frequencies and gap pattern configuration # 0 as defined in Table 8.1.2.1-1 is provided.

In Test 1 UE needs to be provided at least once every 500ms with new Timing Advance Command MAC control element to restart
the Time aligment timer to keep UE uplink time aligmend. Furhtermore UE is allocated with PUSCH resource at every DRX cycle.
In Test 2 the uplink time aligment is not maintained and UE needs to use RACH to obtain UL allocation for measurement
reporting.

In the measurement control information, it is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Event A3 is used. The tests
consist of two successive time periods, with time duration of T1, and T2 respectively. During time duration T1, the UE shall not
have any timing information of cell 2.

A.8.14.2.2 Test Requirements


In Test1 the UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 3840 ms
from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the beginning of time period
T2, to the moment when the UE send the measurement report on PUSCH.

In Test2 the UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 20*1280ms
from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the beginning of time period
T2, to the moment when the UE starts to send preambles on the PRACH for scheduling request (SR) to obtain allocation to send
the measurement report on PUSCH.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE 1: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to one DRX cycle higher than the measurement reporting
delays above because UE is allowed to delay the initiation of the measurement reporting procedure to the next until
the Active Time.

NOTE 2: In order to calculate the rate of correct events the system simulator shall verify that it has received correct Event A3
measurement report

A.8.14.3 E-UTRAN TDD - FDD Inter-frequency identification of a new CGI of E-


UTRA cell using autonomous gaps

A.8.14.3.1 Test Purpose and Environment


This test is to verify the requirement for identification of a new CGI of E-UTRA cell with autonomous gaps in clause 8.1.2.3.6.

The test scenario comprises of one E-UTRA FDD carriers and one cell on each carrier as given in tables A.8.14.3.1-1 and
A.8.14.3.1-2. PDCCHs indicating new transmissions shall be sent continuously to ensure that the UE would have ACK/NACK
sending during identifying a new CGI of E-UTRAN cell. The test consists of three successive time periods, with time durations of
T1, T2 and T3 respectively. At the start of time duration T1, the UE does not have any timing information of cell 2. Starting T2,
cell 2 becomes detectable and the UE is expected to detect and send a measurement report. Gap pattern configuration with id #0 as
specified in Table 8.1.2.1-1 is configured before T2 begins to enable inter-frequency monitoring.

A RRC message implying SI reading shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the UE has reported Event A3. The RRC
message shall create a measurement report configuration with purpose reportCGI and si-RequestForHO set to TRUE. The start of
T3 is the instant when the last TTI containing the RRC message implying SI reading is sent to the UE. Measurement gaps shall be
deconfigured before the start of T3.

A.8.14.3.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall transmit a measurement report containing the cell global identifier of cell 2 within 170 milliseconds from the start of
T3.

Test requirement = RRC Procedure delay + Tidentify_CGI, inter + reporting delay

= 15 + 150 + 2ms from the start of T3

= 167 ms, allow 170 ms.

The UE shall be scheduled continuously throughout the test, and from the start of T3 until 170 ms at least 42 ACK/NACK shall be
detected as being transmitted by the UE.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The overall 42 ACK/NACK number is caused by two parts. Firstly, at least 30 ACK/NACK shall be sent during
identifying the cell global identifier of cell 2 according to the requiremenet in Clause 8.1.2.3.7.1. Secondly, given
that continuous DL data allocation, and the measurement gaps have been deconfigured before the start of T3,
additional 12 ACK/NACK shall be sent from the start of T3 until 170 ms excludes 150 ms for identifying the cell
global identifier of cell 2.

In Test2 the UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 20*1280ms
from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the beginning of time period
T2, to the moment when the UE starts to send preambles on the PRACH for scheduling request (SR) to obtain allocation to send
the measurement report on PUSCH.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE 1: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to one DRX cycle higher than the measurement reporting
delays above because UE is allowed to delay the initiation of the measurement reporting procedure to the next until
the Active Time.

NOTE 2: In order to calculate the rate of correct events the system simulator shall verify that it has received correct Event A3
measurement report.

A.8.15.3 E-UTRAN FDD - TDD Inter-frequency identification of a new CGI of E-


UTRA cell using autonomous gaps

A.8.15.3.1 Test Purpose and Environment


This test is to verify the requirement for identification of a new CGI of E-UTRA cell with autonomous gaps in clause 8.1.2.3.8.

The test scenario comprises of one E-UTRA FDD carrier and one E-UTRA TDD carrier and one cell on each carrier as given in
tables A.8.15.3-1 and A.8.15.3-2. PDCCHs indicating new transmissions shall be sent continuously to ensure that the UE would
have ACK/NACK sending during identifying a new CGI of E-UTRAN cell. The test consists of three successive time periods, with
time durations of T1, T2 and T3 respectively. At the start of time duration T1, the UE does not have any timing information of cell
2. Starting T2, cell 2 becomes detectable and the UE is expected to detect and send a measurement report. Gap pattern
configuration with id #0 as specified in Table 8.1.2.1-1 is configured before T2 begins to enable inter-frequency monitoring.

A RRC message implying SI reading shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the UE has reported Event A3. The RRC
message shall create a measurement report configuration with purpose reportCGI and si-RequestForHO set to TRUE. The start of
T3 is the instant when the last TTI containing the RRC message implying SI reading is sent to the UE. Measurement gaps shall be
deconfigured before the start of T3.

A.8.15.3.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall transmit a measurement report containing the cell global identifier of cell 2 within 170 milliseconds from the start of
T3.

Test requirement = RRC Procedure delay + Tidentify_CGI, inter + reporting delay

= 15 + 150 + 2ms from the start of T3

= 167 ms, allow 170 ms.

The UE shall be scheduled continuously throughout the test, and from the start of T3 until 170 ms at least 60 ACK/NACK shall be
detected as being transmitted by the UE.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The overall 80 ACK/NACK number is caused by two parts. Firstly, at least 60 ACK/NACK shall be sent during
identifying the cell global identifier of cell 2 according to the requirement in Clause 8.1.2.3.5.1. Secondly, given that
continuous DL data allocation, and the measurement gaps have been deconfigured before the start of T3, additional
20 ACK/NACK shall be sent from the start of T3 until 170 ms excludes 150 ms for identifying the cell global
identifier of cell 2.

A.8.16.1.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects events A2 (Serving cell becomes worse than threshold) and A6
(Neighbour becomes better than SCell) defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the requirements stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.1.1-1 and A.8.16.1.1-2 below. It is indicated to the UE in the measurement control
information that event-triggered reporting with Events A2 (PCell and SCell) and A6 is used. The test consists of three successive
time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. During T1 the UE shall not have any information on cell 3. Immediately
at beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 3 is increased to same level as for cell 2, and due to usage of an offset this shall
result in reporting of Event A6. At beginning of T3 the transmission powers of cells 1, 2 and 3 are reduced below a threshold value
and this shall result in reporting of Event A2 for PCell and SCell, respectively.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.16.3A.1-1 and A.8.16.3A.1-2 below. In the test there are three synchronous cells: Cell1,
Cell2 and Cell3. Cell1 is PCell, Cell2 is deactivated SCell, and Cell3 is the neighbour cell. It is indicated to the UE in the
measurement control information that event-triggered reporting with Event A6 is used. UE is also configured with the network
controlled small gap of pattern Id 0 with gapOffset of zero. The test consists of two successive time periods, with duration of T1
and T2, respectively. During T1 the UE shall not have any information of cell 3. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission
power of cell 3 is increased to same level as for cell 2, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6.
PDCCH indicating a new transmission on the PCell shall be sent continuously according to the unicast PDSCH scheduling pattern
in Table A.8.16.3A.1-1 to ensure that the UE sends ACK/NACKs throughout the test.

The UE shall send one Event A6 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 6.4s from the
beginning of time period T2.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The UE shall be scheduled on PCell continuously throughout the test. From the start of T1 until the measurement report is received
during T2, at least [100]% of all expected ACK/NACKs shall be transmitted by the UE.

For a test to be considered successful requirements on both event detection and percentage of transmitted ACK/NACKs have to be
fulfilled simultaneously.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to 2xTTIDCCH higher than the measurement reporting delays
above because of TTI insertion uncertainty of the measurement report in DCCH.

A.8.16.16.2 Test Requirements


The test requirements defined in section A.8.16.4.2 shall apply to this test case.

A.8.16.17 E-UTRAN FDD activation and deactivation of known SCell in non-DRX

A.8.16.17.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in section
7.7, when the SCell is known by the UE at the time of activation.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.17.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.17.1-2 below. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are two carriers, each with one cell. Both cells have
constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC) but
is not aware of Cell 2 on radio channel 2. The UE is only monitoring the PCC. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell
throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the SCell (Cell 2) becomes configured on radio channel 2
(SCC). The UE now starts monitoring also the SCC. The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of the SCell.

The point in time at which the MAC message is received at the UE antenna connector, in a subframe # denoted m which is an even
number, defines the start of time period T2. The UE shall be able to report valid CSI for the activated SCell at latest in subframe
(m+24). The UE shall start reporting CSI in subframe (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until the SCell activation
has been completed. Any PCell interruption due to activation of SCell shall occur in the subframes (m+5) to (m+9).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of SCell, sent from the test equipment to the UE in a subframe #
denoted n which is an even number, is received at the UE antenna connector. The UE shall carry out deactivation of the SCell in a
subframe (n+8), and any PCell interruption due to the deactivation shall occur in the subframes (n+5) to (n+9).

915
Release 15 916 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation and deactivation of SCell, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell activation command is sent
until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell deactivation command is
sent until CQI reporting for SCell is discontinued.

A.8.16.17.2 Test Requirements


During T2 the UE shall send the first CSI report for SCell in a subframe (m+8), or in a subframe (m+10) if the suframe (m+8) was
subject to interruption. Whether CSI report in subframe (m+8) was interrupted or not is checked by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell in subframe (m+8).

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+24).

During T3 the UE shall stop sending CSI reports for SCell at latest in a subframe (n+8).

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCell activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+9).

During T3 interruption of PCell during SCell deactivation shall not happen outside the subframes (n+5) to (n+9).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for intra-band CA and inter-band CA in Section 7.8.2.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell activation delay and SCell deactivation delay to
be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed SCell activation delay and SCell deactivation delay during repeated tests shall
be at least 90%.

NOTE: During T2 if there are no uplink resources for reporting the valid CSI in a subframe (m+24) then the UE shall use the
next available uplink resource for reporting the corresponding valid CSI.

A.8.16.18 E-UTRAN TDD activation and deactivation of known SCell in non-DRX

A.8.16.18.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in section
7.7, when the SCell is known by the UE at the time of activation.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.18.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.18.1-2 below. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are two carriers, each with one cell. Both cells have
constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC) but

919
Release 15 920 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

is not aware of Cell 2 on radio channel 2. The UE is only monitoring the PCC. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell
throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the SCell (Cell 2) becomes configured on radio channel 2
(SCC). The UE now starts monitoring also the SCC. The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of the SCell.

The point in time at which the MAC message is received at the UE antenna connector, in a subframe # denoted m, where m is 4 or
9, defines the start of time period T2. The UE shall be able to report valid CSI for the activated SCell at latest in subframe (m+24).
The UE shall start reporting CSI in subframe (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until the SCell activation has been
completed. Any PCell interruption due to activation of SCell shall occur in the subframes (m+5) to (m+11).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of SCell, sent from the test equipment to the UE in a subframe #
denoted n where n is 4 or 9, is received at the UE antenna connector. The UE shall carry out deactivation of the SCell and any
PCell interruption due to the deactivation shall occur in the subframes (n+5) to (n+11).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation and deactivation of SCell, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell activation command is sent
until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell deactivation command is
sent until CQI reporting for SCell is discontinued.

A.8.16.19 E-UTRAN FDD activation and deactivation of unknown SCell in non-DRX

A.8.16.19.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in section
7.7, when the SCell is unknown by the UE at the time of activation.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.19.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.19.1-2 below. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are two carriers, each with one cell. Cell 1 has
constant signal level throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC) but is
not aware of Cell 2 on radio channel 2. The UE is only monitoring the PCC. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell
throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the SCell (cell2) becomes configured on radio channel 2 (SCC).
During T1 the SCell is powered off and UE is not aware of SCell.

A MAC message for activation of SCell is sent by the test equipment 100ms after the RRC message, in a subframe # denoted m
which is an even number. The point in time at which the MAC message for activation of SCell is received at the UE antenna
connector defines the start of time period T2. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 2 is increased to same
level as for cell 1. The UE shall be able to report valid CSI for the activated SCell at latest in subframe (m+34) provided the SCell
can be successfully detected on the first attempt. The UE shall start reporting CSI in subframe (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0
(out-of-range) until the SCell activation has been completed. Any PCell interruption due to activation of SCell shall occur in the
subframes (m+5) to (m+9).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of the SCell, sent from the test equipment to the UE in a subframe #
denoted n which is an even number, is received at the UE antenna connector. The UE shall carry out deactivation of the SCell at
latest in subframe (n+8), and any PCell interruption due to the deactivation shall occur in the subframes (n+5) to (n+9).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation of SCell, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell activation command is sent
until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell1 deactivation command
is sent until CQI reporting for SCell1 is discontinued.

A.8.16.20 E-UTRAN TDD activation and deactivation of unknown SCell in non-DRX

A.8.16.20.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in section
7.7, when the SCell is unknown by the UE at the time of activation.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.20.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.20.1-2 below. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are two carriers, each with one cell. Cell 1 has
constant signal level throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC) but is
not aware of Cell 2 on radio channel 2. The UE is only monitoring the PCC. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell
throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the SCell (cell2) becomes configured on radio channel 2 (SCC).
During T1 the signal level of SCell is powered off and UE is not aware of SCell.

A MAC message for activation of SCell is sent by the test equipment 100ms after the RRC message, in a subframe # denoted m,
where m is 4 or 9. The point in time at which the MAC message for activation of SCell is received at the UE antenna connector
defines the start of time period T2. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 2 is increased to same level as
for cell 1. The UE shall be able to report valid CSI for the activated SCell at latest in subframe (m+34) provided the SCell can be
successfully detected on the first attempt. The UE shall start reporting CSI in subframe (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-
range) until the SCell activation has been completed. Any PCell interruption due to activation of SCell shall occur in the subframes
(m+5) to (m+11).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of the SCell, sent from the test equipment to the UE in a subframe #
denoted n, where n is 4 or 9, is received at the UE antenna connector. The UE shall carry out deactivation of the SCell at latest in
subframe (n+8), and any PCell interruption due to the deactivation shall occur in the subframes (n+5) to (n+11).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation of SCell, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell activation command is sent
until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell1 deactivation command
is sent until CQI reporting for SCell1 is discontinued.

A.8.16.20.2 Test Requirements


During T2 the UE shall send the first CSI report for SCell at in a subframe (m+8), or in a subframe (m+9) if the subframe (m+8)
was subject to interruption, or in a subframe (m+13) if the subframes (m+8) and (m+9) were subject to interruption when an intra-
band SCell is activated. Whether first CSI report was interrupted or not is checked by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in PCell at the
same time as the first CSI report.

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+34).

During T3 the UE shall stop sending CSI reports for SCell1 at latest in a subframe (n+8).

During T2 Interruption of PCell during SCell activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+11).

During T3 Interruption of PCell during SCell1 deactivation shall not happen outside the subframes (n+5) to (n+11).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for intra-band CA and inter-band CA in Section 7.8.2.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell activation delay to be counted as correct. The
rate of correct observed SCell activation and deactivation delay during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: During T2 if there are no uplink resources for reporting the valid CSI in a subframe (m+34) then the UE shall use the
next available uplink resource for reporting the corresponding valid CSI.

Release 15 936 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

measurement control information that event-triggered reporting with Event A6 is used. The test consists of two successive time
periods, with duration of T1 and T2, respectively. During T1 the UE shall not have any information of cell 3. Immediately at
beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 3 is increased to same level as for cell 2, and due to usage of an offset this shall
result in reporting of Event A6. PDCCH indicating a new transmission on the PCell shall be sent continuously to ensure that the
UE sends ACK/NACKs throughout the test.

A.8.16.23 E-UTRAN TDD-FDD CA Event Triggered Reporting Under Deactivated


SCell in Non-DRX with PCell in FDD

A.8.16.23.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that in TDD-FDD CA with PCell in FDD the UE correctly detects events A2 (Serving cell
becomes worse than threshold) and A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell) defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the requirements for
SCell stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1 and the requirements for PCell stated in clause 8.3.2.

In this test case there are 3 cells: Cell 1, Cell 2 and Cell 3. Cell 1 is the PCell on the FDD primary component carrier, Cell 2 is the
configured and deactivated SCell on the TDD secondary component carrier, and Cell 3 is the neighbor cell on the TDD secondary

component carrier. It is indicated to the UE in the measurement control information that event-triggered reporting with Events A2
(PCell and SCell) and A6 is used. The test consists of three successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively.
During T1 the UE shall not have any information on cell 3. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 3 is
increased to same level as for cell 2, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6. At the beginning of T3
the transmission powers of cells 1, 2 and 3 are reduced below a threshold value and this shall result in reporting of Event A2 for
PCell and SCell, respectively.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.16.23.1-1 and A.8.16.23.1-2 below.

A.8.16.25 E-UTRAN TDD-FDD CA Event triggered reporting on deactivated SCell


with PCell interruption in non-DRX with PCell in FDD

A.8.16.25.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that in TDD-FDD CA with PCell in FDD the UE correctly detects event A6 (Neighbour
becomes better than SCell) defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the requirements stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1 and the requirements for
PCell stated in clause 8.3.2 while at the same time fulfilling the requirement on interruption rate.

In this test case there are three cells: Cell1, Cell2 and Cell3. Cell 1 is the PCell on the FDD primary component carrier, Cell 2 is the
configured and deactivated SCell on the TDD secondary component carrier, and Cell 3 is the neighbor cell on the TDD secondary
component carrier. It is indicated to the UE in the measurement control information that event-triggered reporting with Event A6 is
used. The test consists of two successive time periods, with duration of T1 and T2, respectively. During T1 the UE shall not have
any information of cell 3. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 3 is increased to same level as for cell 2,
and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6. PDCCH indicating a new transmission on the PCell shall be
sent continuously to ensure that the UE sends ACK/NACKs throughout the test.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.16.25.1-1 and Table A.8.16.25.1-2 below.

A.8.16.25.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall send one Event A6 triggered measurement report for cell 3, with a measurement reporting delay less than 25.6s from
the beginning of time period T2.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The UE shall be scheduled on PCell continuously throughout the test. From the start of T1 until the measurement report is received
during T2, at least 99.5% of all expected ACK/NACKs shall be transmitted by the UE.

For a test to be considered successful requirements on both event detection and percentage of transmitted ACK/NACKs have to be
fulfilled simultaneously.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to 2xTTIDCCH higher than the measurement reporting
delays above because of TTI insertion uncertainty of the measurement report in DCCH.

A.8.16.26 E-UTRAN TDD-FDD CA Event triggered reporting on deactivated SCell


with PCell interruption in non-DRX with PCell in TDD

A.8.16.26.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that in TDD-FDD CA with PCell in TDD the UE correctly detects event A6 (Neighbour
becomes better than SCell) defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the requirements stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1 and the requirements for
PCell stated in clause 8.3.2 while at the same time fulfilling the requirement on interruption rate.

In this test case there are three cells: Cell1, Cell2 and Cell3. Cell 1 is the PCell on the TDD primary component carrier, Cell 2 is the
configured and deactivated SCell on the FDD secondary component carrier, and Cell 3 is the neighbor cell on the FDD secondary
component carrier. It is indicated to the UE in the measurement control information that event-triggered reporting with Event A6 is
used. The test consists of two successive time periods, with duration of T1 and T2, respectively. During T1 the UE shall not have
any information of cell 3. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 3 is increased to same level as for cell 2,
and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6. PDCCH indicating a new transmission on the PCell shall be
sent continuously to ensure that the UE sends ACK/NACKs throughout the test.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.16.26.1-1 and Table A.8.16.26.1-1 below.

SCells in Non-DRX

A.8.16.27.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects events A1 (Serving cell becomes better than threshold), A2
(Serving cell becomes worse than threshold) and A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell) defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the
requirements stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.27.1-1 and A.8.16.27.1-2 below. It is indicated to the UE in the measurement control
information that event-triggered reporting with Events A1 (for only SCell1 i.e. cell2), A2 (PCell and SCells) and A6 is used. The
test consists of three successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. During T1 the UE shall not have any
information on cell 4. At the beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 4 is increased to the same level as for cell 3, and due to
usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6. Also, at the beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 2 is
increased to the same level as for cell 1, which shall result in reporting of Event A1. At the beginning of T3 the transmission
powers of cells 1, 2, 3 and 4 are reduced below a threshold value and this shall result in reporting of Event A2 for Cell 1, for Cell 2
and for Cell 3.

A.8.16.29 3 DL FDD CA Event Triggered Reporting under Deactivated


SCells in Non-DRX

A.8.16.29.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects Events A1 (Serving cell becomes better than threshold),
A2 (Serving cell becomes worse than threshold) and A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell) defined in
TS 36.331 [2] within the requirements stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.29.1-1 and A.8.16.29.1-2 below. It is indicated to the UE in the
measurement control information that event-triggered reporting with Events A1 (SCell 1), Events A2 (PCell and SCell
1/2) and A6 is used. The test consists of three successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively.
During T1 the UE shall not have any information on cell 4. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of
cell 2 is increased above a threshold value such that this shall result in reporting of Event A1 for SCell 1, and cell 4 is
increased to the same level as for Cell 3. Due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6. At
beginning of T3 the transmission powers of cells 1, 2, 3 and 4 are reduced below a threshold value and this shall result
in reporting of Event A2 for PCell and SCell 1/2, respectively.

A.8.16.31 E-UTRAN TDD-FDD 3 DL CA Event Triggered Reporting on


Deactivated SCell with PCell and SCell Interruptions in Non-DRX and
with PCell in FDD

A.8.16.31.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects event A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell)
defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the requirements stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1 while at the same time fulfilling the
requirement on interruption rate.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.16.31.1-1 and A.8.16.31.1-2 below. In the test there are four cells: Cell 1,
Cell 2, Cell 3 and Cell 4. Cell 1 is PCell on the FDD primary component (RF Channel 1), Cell 2 is SCell on the TDD
secondary component (RF Channel 2), and Cell 3 is SCell on the TDD secondary component (RF Channel 3) and Cell 4
is the neighbour cell on the TDD secondary component (RF Channel 3). It is indicated to the UE in the measurement
control information that event-triggered reporting with Event A6 is used. The test consists of four successive time
periods, with duration of T1, T2, T3 and T4, respectively. During T1 and T2, both Cell2 and Cell3 are deactivated.
During T1 the UE shall not have any information of cell 4. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of
cell 4 is increased to same level as for cell 3, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6.

At the beginning of T3, the transmission power of Cell 4 is turned off and the test equipment sends a MAC message for
activation of Cell 2 to UE but Cell3 remains deactivated. Immediately at beginning of T4 the transmission power of cell
4 is increased to same level as for cell 3, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6. The UE
shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test and continuously scheduled in Cell 2 during T4.

A.8.16.31.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall send one Event A6 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 12.8s
(20×scellMeasCycle) from the beginning of time period T2.

The UE shall send one Event A6 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 3.2s
(5×scellMeasCycle) from the beginning of time period T4.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The UE shall be scheduled on PCell continuously throughout the test. From the start of T1 until the measurement report
is received during T2, at least 99.5% of all expected ACK/NACKs shall be transmitted by the UE.

The UE shall be scheduled on Cell2 continuously from the start of T4 to the end. From the start of T4 until the
measurement report is received during T4, at least 99.5% of all expected ACK/NACKs shall be transmitted by the UE.

For a test to be considered successful requirements on both event detection and percentage of transmitted ACK/NACKs
have to be fulfilled simultaneously.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to 2xTTIDCCH higher than the measurement
reporting delays above because of TTI insertion uncertainty of the measurement report in DCCH.

A.8.16.32 E-UTRAN TDD-FDD 3 DL CA Event Triggered Reporting on


Deactivated SCell with PCell and SCell Interruptions in Non-DRX and
with PCell in TDD

A.8.16.32.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects event A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell)
defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the requirements stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1 while at the same time fulfilling the
requirement on interruption rate.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.16.32.1-1 and A.8.16.32.1-2 below. In the test there are four cells: Cell 1,
Cell 2, Cell 3 and Cell 4. Cell 1 is PCell on the TDD primary component (RF Channel 1), Cell 2 is SCell on the FDD
secondary component (RF Channel 2), and Cell 3 is SCell on the FDD secondary component (RF Channel 3) and Cell 4
is the neighbour cell on the FDD secondary component (RF Channel 3). It is indicated to the UE in the measurement
control information that event-triggered reporting with Event A6 is used. The test consists of four successive time
periods, with duration of T1, T2, T3 and T4, respectively. During T1 and T2, both Cell2 and Cell3 are deactivated.
During T1 the UE shall not have any information of cell 4. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of
cell 4 is increased to same level as for cell 3, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6.

At the beginning of T3, the transmission power of Cell 4 is turned off and the test equipment sends a MAC message for
activation of Cell 2 to UE but Cell3 remains deactivated. Immediately at beginning of T4 the transmission power of
Cell 4 is increased to same level as for Cell 3, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6.
The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test and continuously scheduled in Cell2
during T4.

A.8.16.33 E-UTRAN FDD 3 DL CA Event Triggered Reporting on


Deactivated SCell with PCell and SCell Interruptions in Non-DRX

A.8.16.33.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects event A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell)
defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the requirements stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1 while at the same time fulfilling the
requirement on interruption rate.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.16.33.1-1 and A.8.16.33.1-2 below. In the test there are four cells: Cell 1,
Cell 2, Cell 3 and Cell 4. Cell 1 is PCell on the FDD primary component (RF Channel 1), Cell 2 is SCell on the FDD
secondary component (RF Channel 2), and Cell 3 is SCell on the FDD secondary component (RF Channel 3) and Cell 4
is the neighbour cell on the FDD secondary component (RF Channel 3). It is indicated to the UE in the measurement
control information that event-triggered reporting with Event A6 is used. The test consists of four successive time
periods, with duration of T1, T2, T3 and T4, respectively. During T1 and T2, both Cell2 and Cell3 are deactivated.
During T1 the UE shall not have any information of cell 4. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of
cell 4 is increased to same level as for cell 3, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6.

At the beginning of T3, the transmission power of Cell 4 is turned off and the test equipment sends a MAC message for
activation of Cell 2 to UE but Cell3 remains deactivated. Immediately at beginning of T4 the transmission power of
Cell 4 is increased to same level as for Cell 3, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6.
The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test and continuously scheduled in Cell2
during T4.

A.8.16.33.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall send one Event A6 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 12.8s
(20×scellMeasCycle) from the beginning of time period T2.

The UE shall send one Event A6 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 3.2s
(5×scellMeasCycle) from the beginning of time period T4.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The UE shall be scheduled on PCell continuously throughout the test. From the start of T1 until the measurement report
is received during T2, at least 99.5% of all expected ACK/NACKs shall be transmitted by the UE.

The UE shall be scheduled on Cell2 continuously from the beginning of T4 to the end. From the start of T4 until the
measurement report is received during T4, at least 99.5% of all expected ACK/NACKs shall be transmitted by the UE.

For a test to be considered successful requirements on both event detection and percentage of transmitted ACK/NACKs
have to be fulfilled simultaneously.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to 2xTTIDCCH higher than the measurement
reporting delays above because of TTI insertion uncertainty of the measurement report in DCCH.

A.8.16.34 E-UTRAN TDD 3 DL CA Event Triggered Reporting on


Deactivated SCell with PCell and SCell Interruptions in Non-DRX

A.8.16.34.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects event A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell)
defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the requirements stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1 while at the same time fulfilling the
requirement on interruption rate.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.16.34.1-1 and A.8.16.34.1-2 below. In the test there are four cells: Cell 1,
Cell 2, Cell 3 and Cell 4. Cell 1 is PCell on the TDD primary component (RF Channel 1), Cell 2 is SCell on the TDD
secondary component (RF Channel 2), and Cell 3 is SCell on the TDD secondary component (RF Channel 3) and Cell 4
is the neighbour cell on the TDD secondary component (RF Channel 3). It is indicated to the UE in the measurement
control information that event-triggered reporting with Event A6 is used. The test consists of four successive time
periods, with duration of T1, T2, T3 and T4, respectively. During T1 and T2, both Cell2 and Cell3 are deactivated.
During T1 the UE shall not have any information of cell 4. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of
cell 4 is increased to same level as for cell 3, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6.

At the beginning of T3, the transmission power of Cell 4 is turned off and the test equipment sends a MAC message for
activation of Cell 2 to UE but Cell3 remains deactivated. Immediately at beginning of T4 the transmission power of cell
4 is increased to same level as for cell 3, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6. The UE
shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test and continuously scheduled in Cell 2 during T4.

A.8.16.35 3 DL PCell in FDD CA Activation and Deactivation of Known SCell in


Non-DRX

A.8.16.35.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in section 7.7
for UE configured with two downlink SCells, when the SCell is known by the UE at the time of activation and PCell is in FDD.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.35.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.35.1-2 below. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are three carriers, each with one cell. All cells have
constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC) and
deactivated Cell 3 (SCell2) on radio channel 3 (SCC2) but is not aware of Cell 2 (SCell1) on radio channel 2 (SCC1). The UE is
only monitoring the PCC and SCC2. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the SCell1 (Cell 2) becomes configured on radio channel 2
(SCC1). The UE now starts monitoring also the SCC1. The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of the SCell1.

The point in time at which the MAC message is received at the UE antenna connector, in a subframe # denoted m which is an even
number, defines the start of time period T2. At the beginning of T2 the test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of the
SCell1. The UE receives the SCell2 activation command in a subframe (m+10) during activation of the SCell1. The UE shall be
able to report valid CSI for the activated SCell1 at latest in subframe (m+29). The UE shall start reporting CSI for SCell1 in
subframe (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until the SCell activation has been completed. Any PCell interruption
due to activation of SCells shall occur in the subframes (m+5) to (m+9) and (m+15) to (m+19).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of SCell1, sent from the test equipment to the UE in a subframe #
denoted n which is an even number, is received at the UE antenna connector. The test equipment sends a MAC message for
deactivation of the SCell2 in subframe (n+10). The UE shall carry out deactivation of the SCell1 at latest in subframe (n+8), and
any PCell interruption due to the deactivation of SCells shall occur in the subframes (n+5) to (n+9) and (n+15) to (n+19).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation and deactivation of SCell1, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell1 activation command is
sent until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell1 deactivation command
is sent until CQI reporting for SCell1 is discontinued.

During T2 the UE shall send the first CSI report for SCell1 in a subframe (m+8), or in a subframe (m+10) if the subframe (m+8)
was subject to interruption. Whether CSI report in subframe (m+8) was interrupted or not is checked by monitoring ACK/NACK
sent in PCell in subframe (m+8).

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell1 with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+29).
991
Release 15 992 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

During T3 the UE shall stop sending CSI reports for SCell1 at latest in a subframe (n+8).

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCells activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+9) and outside the
subframes (m+15) to (m+19).

During T3 interruption of PCell during SCells deactivation shall not happen outside the subframes (n+5) to (n+9) and outside the
subframes (n+15) to (n+19).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for intra-band CA and inter-band CA in Section 7.8.2.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay
to be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay during repeated tests
shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: During T2 if there are no uplink resources for reporting the valid CSI in a subframe (m+29) then the UE shall use the
next available uplink resource for reporting the corresponding valid CSI.

The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in section 7.7
for UE configured with two downlink SCells, when the SCell is known by the UE at the time of activation and PCell is in TDD.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.36.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.36.1-2 below. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are three carriers, each with one cell. All cells have
constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC) and
deactivated Cell 3 (SCell2) on radio channel 3 (SCC2) but is not aware of Cell 2 (SCell1) on radio channel 2 (SCC1). The UE is
only monitoring the PCC and SCC2. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the SCell1 (Cell 2) becomes configured on radio channel 2
(SCC1). The UE now starts monitoring also the SCC1. The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of the SCell1.

The point in time at which the MAC message is received at the UE antenna connector, in a subframe # denoted m, where m is 4 or
9, defines the start of time period T2. At the beginning of T2 the test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of the SCell1.
The UE receives the SCell2 activation command in a subframe (m+15) during activation of the SCell1. The UE shall be able to
report valid CSI for the activated SCell1 at latest in a subframe (m+29). The UE shall start reporting CSI for SCell1 in subframe
(m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until the SCell activation has been completed. Any PCell interruption due to
activation of SCells shall occur in the subframes (m+5) to (m+11) and (m+20) to (m+26).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of SCell1, sent from the test equipment to the UE in a subframe #
denoted n, where n is 4 or 9, is received at the UE antenna connector. The test equipment sends a MAC message for deactivation of
the SCell2 in subframe (n+15). The UE shall carry out deactivation of the SCell1 at latest in subframe (n+8), and any PCell
interruption due to the deactivation of SCells shall occur in the subframes (n+5) to (n+11) and (n+20) to (n+26).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation and deactivation of SCell1, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell1 activation command is
sent until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell1 deactivation command
is sent until CQI reporting for SCell1 is discontinued.

SCell is actitvated. Whether CSI report in subframe (m+8) and/or (m+9) was interrupted or not is checked by monitoring
ACK/NACK sent in PCell in subframe (m+8) and/or (m+9).

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell1 with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+29).

Release 15 1001 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCells activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+11) and outside the
subframes (m+20) to (m+26).

During T3 interruption of PCell during SCells deactivation shall not happen outside the subframest (n+5) to (n+11) and outside the
subframes (n+20) to (n+26).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for intra-band CA and inter-band CA in Section 7.8.2.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay
to be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay during repeated tests
shall be at least 90%.

A.8.16.39 E-UTRA TDD-FDD 3DL CA Activation and Deactivation of Unknown SCell


in Non-DRX with PCell in FDD

A.8.16.39.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in section 7.7
for UE configured with two downlink SCells, when the SCell is unknown by the UE at the time of activation.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.39.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.39.1-2 below. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are three carriers, each with one cell. Cell 1 is FDD
cell, and Cell 2 and Cell 3 are TDD cells. Cell 1 and Cell 3 have constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the
UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC) and Cell 3 (deactivated SCell2) on radio channel 3 (SCC2) but is not
aware of Cell 2 (SCell1) on radio channel 2 (SCC1). The UE is only monitoring the PCC and SCC2. The UE shall be continuously
scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the Cell 2 (SCell1) becomes configured on radio channel 2
(SCC1). During T1 Cell 2 (SCell1) is powered off and UE is not aware of Cell 2 (SCell1).

A MAC message for activation of SCell1 is sent by the test equipment 100ms after the RRC message, in a subframe # denoted m
which is an even number. The point in time at which the MAC message for activation of Cell 2 (SCell1) is received at the UE
antenna connector defines the start of time period T2. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of Cell 2 (SCell1) is
increased to same level as for Cell 1 (PCell). The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of the Cell 3 (SCell2) in
subframe (m+10). Since UE received SCell2 activation command during activation of SCell1, the UE shall be able to report valid
CSI for the activated SCell1 at latest in subframe (m+39) provided the SCell1 can be successfully detected on the first attempt. The
UE shall start reporting CSI for SCell1 in subframe (m+8), and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until the SCell activation
has been completed. Any PCell interruption due to activation of SCells shall occur in the subframes (m+5) to (m+9) and (m+15) to
(m+19).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of Cell 2 (SCell1), sent from the test equipment to the UE, in a
subframe # denoted n which is an even number, is received at the UE antenna connector. The test equipment sends a MAC message
for deactivation of the Cell 3 (SCell2) in subframe (n+10). The UE shall carry out deactivation of the Cell 2 (SCell1) at latest in
subframe (n+8), and any PCell interruption due to the deactivation of SCells shall occur in subframes (n+5) to (n+9) and (n+10) to
(n+19).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation and deactivation of SCell1, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the Cell 2 (SCell1) activation
command is sent until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the Cell 2 (SCell1) deactivation
command is sent until CQI reporting for SCell1 is discontinued.

in Non-DRX with PCell in TDD

A.8.16.40.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in section 7.7
for UE configured with two downlink SCells, when the SCell is unknown by the UE at the time of activation.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.40.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.40.1-2 below. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are three carriers, each with one cell. Cell 1 is TDD
cell, and Cell 2 and Cell 3 are FDD cells. Cell 1 and Cell 3 have constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the
UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC) and Cell 3 (deactivated SCell2) on radio channel 3 (SCC2) but is not
aware of Cell 2 (SCell1) on radio channel 2 (SCC1). The UE is only monitoring the PCC and SCC2. The UE shall be continuously
scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the Cell 2 (SCell1) becomes configured on radio channel 2
(SCC1). During T1 Cell 2 (SCell1) is powered off and UE is not aware of Cell 2 (SCell1).

A MAC message for activation of SCell1 is sent by the test equipment 100ms after the RRC message, in a subframe # denoted m,
where m is 4 or 9. The point in time at which the MAC message for activation of Cell 2 (SCell1) is received at the UE antenna
connector defines the start of time period T2. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of Cell 2 (SCell1) is
increased to same level as for Cell 1 (PCell). The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of the Cell 3 (SCell2) in
subframe (m+15). Since UE received SCell2 activation command during activation of SCell1, the UE shall be able to report valid
CSI for the activated SCell1 at latest in subframe (m+39) provided the SCell1 can be successfully detected on the first attempt. The
UE shall start reporting CSI for SCell1 in subframe (m+8), and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until the SCell activation
has been completed. Any PCell interruption due to activation of SCells shall occur in subframes (m+5) to (m+9) and (m+20) to
(m+24).

1004
Release 15 1005 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of Cell 2 (SCell1), sent from the test equipment to the UE in a
subframe # denoted n, where n is 4 or 9, is received at the UE antenna connector. The test equipment sends a MAC message for
deactivation of the Cell 3 (SCell2) in subframe (n+15). The UE shall carry out deactivation of the Cell 2 (SCell1) at latest in
subframe (n+8), and any PCell interruption due to the deactivation of SCells shall occur in subframes (n+5) to (n+9) and (n+20) to
(n+24).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation and deactivation of SCell1, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the Cell 2 (SCell1) activation
command is sent until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the Cell 2 (SCell1) deactivation
command is sent until CQI reporting for SCell1 is discontinued.

A.8.16.41 3 DL FDD CA activation and deactivation of unknown SCell in non-DRX

A.8.16.41.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in clause 7.7
for 3DL FDD carrier aggregation, when the SCell is unknown by the UE at the time of activation.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.41-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.41-2 below. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are three carriers, each with one cell. Cell 1 and Cell 3
have constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC)
and Cell 3 (deactivated SCell2) on radio channel 3 (SCC2), but is not aware of Cell 2 (SCell1) on radio channel 2 (SCC1). The UE
is only monitoring the PCC and SCC2. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the Cell 2 (SCell1) becomes configured on radio channel 2
(SCC1). During T1 the signal level of Cell 2 (SCell1) is powered off and UE is not aware of Cell 2 (SCell1).

A MAC message for activation of the SCell1 is sent by the test equipment 100ms after the RRC message, in a subframe # denoted
m which is an even number. The point in time at which the MAC message for activation of Cell 2 (SCell1) is received at the UE
antenna connector defines the start of time period T2. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of Cell 2 (SCell1) is
increased to same level as for Cell 1 (PCell). The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of Cell 3 (SCell2) in
subframe (m+10). Since UE received SCell2 activation command during activation of SCell1, the UE shall be able to report valid
CSIs for the activated SCell1 at latest in subframe (m+39) provided the SCell1 can be successfully detected on the first attempt.
The UE shall start reporting CSI in subframe (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until the SCell activation has been
completed. Any PCell interruption due to activation of SCells shall occur in the subframe (m+5) to (m+9) and (m+15) to (m+19).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of Cell 2 (SCell1), sent from the test equipment to the UE in a
subframe # denoted n, is received at the UE antenna connector. The test equipment sends a MAC message for deactivation of the

1007

Cell 3 (SCell2) in subframe (n+10). The UE shall carry out deactivation of Cell 2 (SCell1) at latest in subframe (n+8), and any
PCell interruption due to the deactivation shall occur in the subframes (n+5) to (n+9) and (n+15) to (n+19).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation and deactivation of SCells, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the Cell 2 (SCell1) activation

A.8.16.41.2 Test Requirements


During T2 the UE shall send the first CSI report for SCell1 in a subframe (m+8), or in a subframe (m+10) if the subframe (m+8)
was subject to interruption. Whether CSI report in subframe (m+8) was interrupted or not is checked by monitoring ACK/NACK
sent in PCell in subframe (m+8).

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell1 with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+39).
1009
Release 15 1010 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

During T3 the UE shall stop sending CSI reports for SCell1 at latest in a subframe (n+8).

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCells activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+9) and outside the
subframes (m+15) to (m+19).

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCells deactivation shall not happen outside the subframes (n+5) to (n+9) and outside the
subframes (n+15) to (n+19).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for intra-band CA and inter-band CA in Section 7.8.2.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay
to be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay during repeated tests
shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: During T2 if there are no uplink resources for reporting the valid CSI in a subframe (m+39) then the UE shall use the
next available uplink resource for reporting the corresponding valid CSI.

A.8.16.42 3 DL TDD CA activation and deactivation of unknown SCell in non-DRX

A.8.16.42.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in clause 7.7
for 3DL TDD carrier aggregation, when the SCell is unknown by the UE at the time of activation.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.42-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.42-2 below. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are three carriers, each with one cell. Cell 1 and cell 3
have constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC)
and Cell 3 (deactivated SCell2) on redio channel 3 (SCC2), but is not aware of Cell 2 (SCell1) on radio channel 2 (SCC1). The UE
is only monitoring the PCC and SCC2. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the Cell 2 (SCell 1) becomes configured on radio channel 2
(SCC1). During T1 the signal level of Cell 2 (SCell 1) is powered off and UE is not aware of Cell 2 (SCell1).

A MAC message for activation of the SCell1 is sent by the test equipment 100ms after the RRC message, in a subframe # denoted
m, where m is 4 or 9. The point in time at which the MAC message for activation of Cell 2 (SCell1) is received at the UE antenna
connector defines the start of time period T2. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of Cell 2 (SCell1) is
increased to same level as for Cell 1 (PCell). The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of Cell 3 (SCell2) in
subframe (m+15). Since UE received SCell2 activation command during activation of SCell1, the UE shall be able to report valid
CSIs for the activated SCell1 at latest in subframe (m+39) provided the SCell1 can be successfully detected on the first attempt.
The UE shall start reporting CSI in subframe (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until the SCell activation has been
completed. Any PCell interruption due to activation of SCells shall occur in the subframes (m+5) to (m+11) and (m+20) to (m+26).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of Cell 2 (SCell1), sent from the test equipment to the UE in a
subframe # denoted n, where n is 4 or 9, is received at the UE antenna connector. The test equipment sends a MAC message for
deactivation of the Cell 3 (SCell2) in subframe (n+15). The UE shall carry out deactivation of Cell 2 (SCell1) at latest in subframe
(n+8), and any PCell interruption due to the deactivation of SCells shall occur in the subframes (n+5) to (n+11) and (n+20) to
(n+26).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation and deactivation of SCells, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the Cell 2 (SCell1) activation
command is sent until a CSI reports with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the Cell 2 (SCell1) deactivation
command is sent until CQI reporting for SCell1 is discontinued.

A.8.16.42.2 Test Requirements


During T2 the UE shall send the first CSI report for SCell1 in a subframe (m+8)), or in a subframe (m+9) if the subframe (m+8)
was subject to interruption, or in a subframe (m+13) if the subframes (m+8) and (m+9) were subject to interruption when an intra-
band SCell is activated. Whether CSI report in subframe (m+8) and/or (m+9) was interrupted or not is checked by monitoring
ACK/NACK sent in PCell in subframe (m+8) and/or (m+9).

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell1 with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+39).

During T3 the UE shall stop sending CSI reports for SCell1 at latest in a subframe (n+8).

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCells activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+11) and outside the
subframes (m+20) to (m+26).

During T3 interruption of PCell during SCells deactivation shall not happen outside the subframes (n+5) to (n+11) and outside the
subframes (n+20) to (n+26).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for intra-band CA and inter-band CA in Section 7.8.2.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay
to be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay during repeated tests
shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: During T2 if there are no uplink resources for reporting the valid CSI in a subframe (m+39) then the UE shall use the

A.8.16.43 E-UTRAN TDD-FDD CA activation and deactivation of known SCell in


non-DRX with PCell in FDD

A.8.16.43.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in section
7.7, when the SCell is known by the UE at the time of activation and PCell is in FDD.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.43.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.43.1-2 below. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are two carriers, each with one cell. Both cells have
constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC) but

1012
Release 15 1013 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

is not aware of Cell 2 on radio channel 2. The UE is only monitoring the PCC. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell
throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the SCell (Cell 2) becomes configured on radio channel 2
(SCC). The UE now starts monitoring also the SCC. The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of the SCell.

The point in time at which the MAC message is received at the UE antenna connector, in a subframe # denoted m which is an even
number, defines the start of time period T2. The UE shall be able to report valid CSI for the activated SCell at latest in subframe
(m+24). The UE shall start reporting CSI in subframe (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until the SCell activation
has been completed. Any PCell interruption due to activation of SCell shall occur in the subframes (m+5) to (m+9).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of SCell, sent from the test equipment to the UE in a subframe #
denoted n which is an even number, received at the UE antenna connector. The UE shall carry out deactivation of the SCell in a
subframe (n+8), and any PCell interruption due to the deactivation shall occur in the subframes (n+5) to (n+9).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation and deactivation of SCell, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell activation command is sent
until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell deactivation command is
sent until CQI reporting for SCell is discontinued.

During T2 the UE shall send the first CSI report for SCell in a subframe (m+8), or in a subframe (m+10) if the suframe (m+8) was
subject to interruption. Whether CSI report in subframe (m+8) was interrupted or not is checked by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell in subframe (m+8).

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+24).

During T3 the UE shall stop sending CSI reports for SCell at latest in a subframe (n+8).

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCell activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+9).

During T3 interruption of PCell during SCell deactivation shall not happen outside the subframes (n+5) to (n+9).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for inter-band CA in Section 7.8.2.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell activation delay and SCell deactivation delay to
be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed SCell activation delay and SCell deactivation delay during repeated tests shall
be at least 90%.

NOTE: During T2 if there are no uplink resources for reporting the valid CSI in a subframe (m+24) then the UE shall use the
next available uplink resource for reporting the corresponding valid CSI.

A.8.16.44 E-UTRAN TDD-FDD CA activation and deactivation of unknown SCell in


non-DRX with PCell in FDD

A.8.16.44.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in section
7.7, when the SCell is unknown by the UE at the time of activation and PCell is in FDD.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.44.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.44.1-2 below. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are two carriers, each with one cell. Cell 1 has
constant signal level throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC) but is
not aware of Cell 2 on radio channel 2. The UE is only monitoring the PCC. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell
throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the SCell (Cell 2) becomes configured on radio channel 2
(SCC). During T1 the SCell is powered off and UE is not aware of SCell.

A MAC message for activation of SCell is sent by the test equipment 100ms after the RRC message, in a subframe # denoted m
which is an even number. The point in time at which the MAC message for activation of SCell is received at the UE antenna
connector defines the start of time period T2. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 2 is increased to same
level as for cell 1. The UE shall be able to report valid CSI for the activated SCell at latest in subframe (m+34) provided the SCell
can be successfully detected on the first attempt. The UE shall start reporting CSI in subframe (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0
(out-of-range) until the SCell activation has been completed. Any PCell interruption due to activation of SCell shall occur in the
subframes (m+5) to (m+9).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of the SCell, sent from the test equipment to the UE in a subframe #
denoted n which is an even number, is received at the UE antenna connector. The UE shall carry out deactivation of the SCell at
latest in subframe (n+8), and any PCell interruption due to the deactivation shall occur in the subframes (n+5) to (n+9).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation and deactivation of SCell, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell activation command is sent
until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell deactivation command is
sent until CQI reporting for SCell1 is discontinued.

A.8.16.44.2 Test Requirements


During T2 the UE shall send the first CSI report for SCell (m+8), or in a subframe (m+10) if the subframe (m+8) was subject to
interruption. Whether CSI report in subframe (m+8) was interrupted or not is checked by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in PCell in
subframe (m+8).

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+34).

During T3 the UE shall stop sending CSI reports for SCell at latest in a subframe (n+8).

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCell activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+9).

During T3 interruption of PCell during SCell deactivation shall not happen outside the subframes (n+5) to (n+9).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for inter-band CA in Section 7.8.2.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell activation delay and SCell deactivation delay to
be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed SCell activation and deactivation delay during repeated tests shall be at least
90%.

NOTE: During T2 if there are no uplink resources for reporting the valid CSI in a subframe (m+34) then the UE shall use the
next available uplink resource for reporting the corresponding valid CSI.

A.8.16.45 E-UTRAN TDD-FDD CA activation and deactivation of known SCell in


non-DRX with PCell in TDD

A.8.16.45.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in section
7.7, when the SCell is known by the UE at the time of activation and PCell is in TDD.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.45.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.45.1-2 below. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are two carriers, each with one cell. Both cells have
constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC) but
is not aware of Cell 2 on radio channel 2. The UE is only monitoring the PCC. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell
throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the SCell (Cell 2) becomes configured on radio channel 2
(SCC). The UE now starts monitoring also the SCC. The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of the SCell.

The point in time at which the MAC message is received at the UE antenna connector, in a subframe # denoted m, where m is 4 or
9, defines the start of time period T2. The UE shall be able to report valid CSI for the activated SCell at latest in subframe (m+24).
The UE shall start reporting CSI in subframe (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until the SCell activation has been
completed. Any PCell interruption due to activation of SCell shall occur in the subframes (m+5) to (m+11).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of SCell, sent from the test equipment to the UE in a subframe #
denoted n where n is 4 or 9, is received at the UE antenna connector. The UE shall carry out deactivation of the SCell at latest in
subframe (n+8), and any PCell interruption due to the deactivation shall occur in the subframes (n+5) to (n+11).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation and deactivation of SCell, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell activation command is sent
until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell deactivation command is
sent until CQI reporting for SCell is discontinued.

A.8.16.45.2 Test Requirements


During T2 the UE shall send the first CSI report for SCell in a subframe (m+8), or in a subframe (m+9) if the subframe (m+8) was
subject to interruption. Whether CSI report in subframe (m+8) was interrupted or not is checked by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell in subframe (m+8).

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+24).

During T3 the UE shall stop sending CSI reports for SCell at latest in a subframe (m+8).

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCell activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+11).

During T3 interruption of PCell during SCell deactivation shall not happen outside the subframes (n+5) to (n+11).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for inter-band CA in Section 7.8.2.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell activation delay and SCell deactivation delay to
be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed SCell activation delay and SCell deactivation delay during repeated tests shall
be at least 90%.

NOTE: During T2 if there are no uplink resources for reporting the valid CSI in a subframe (m+24) then the UE shall use the

A.8.16.46 E-UTRAN TDD-FDD CA activation and deactivation of unknown SCell in


non-DRX with PCell in TDD

A.8.16.46.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in section
7.7, when the SCell is unknown by the UE at the time of activation and PCell is in FDD.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.46.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.46.1-2 below. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are two carriers, each with one cell. Cell 1 has
constant signal level throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC) but is
not aware of Cell 2 on radio channel 2. The UE is only monitoring the PCC. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell
throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the SCell (Cell 2) becomes configured on radio channel 2
(SCC). During T1 the SCell is powered off and UE is not aware of SCell.

A MAC message for activation of SCell is sent by the test equipment 100ms after the RRC message, in a subframe # denoted m,
where m is 4 or 9. The point in time at which the MAC message for activation of SCell is received at the UE antenna connector
defines the start of time period T2. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 2 is increased to same level as
for cell 1. The UE shall be able to report valid CSI for the activated SCell at latest in subframe (m+34) provided the SCell can be
successfully detected on the first attempt. The UE shall start reporting CSI in subframe (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-
range) until the SCell activation has been completed. Any PCell interruption due to activation of SCell shall occur in the subframes
(m+5) to (m+11).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of the SCell, sent from the test equipment to the UE in a subframe #
denoted n, where n is 4 or 9, is received at the UE antenna connector. The UE shall carry out deactivation of the SCell at latest in
subframe (n+8), and any PCell interruption due to the deactivation shall occur in the subframes (n+5) to (n+11).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation of SCell, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell activation command is sent
until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell1 deactivation command
is sent until CQI reporting for SCell1 is discontinued.

A.8.16.47 2DL/2UL FDD CA activation and deactivation of known PUCCH SCell


without valid TA in non-DRX

A.8.16.47.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that SCell activation and deactivation are done within the required time period defined in
clause 7.7 for 2DL/2UL FDD carrier aggregation, when PUCCH for a being activated SCell is configured on the SCell. The SCell
is known by a UE and the UE does not have valid TA for an sTAG which the SCell belongs to at the time of activation.

Test parameters are given in Table A.8.16.47.1-1 and Table A.8.16.47.1-2. The test consists of three successive time periods with
duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are two carriers. In each carrier only one cell exists. All cells have constant signal
levels throughout the test. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in Cell 1 (PCell) throughout the test.

Before the test starts, the UE is connected to the PCell (Cell 1) on radio channel 1 (PCC), but is not aware of Cell 2 (SCell) on
radio channel 2 (SCC). The PCell is in the pTAG and the SCell is in an sTAG. The UE is only monitoring the PCC.

At the beginning of T1, the UE receives an RRC message by which the SCell (Cell 2) gets configured with PUCCH on radio
channel 2 (SCC). The UE now starts monitoring the SCC also. Test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of the SCell.

The MAC message for the activation is received at the UE antenna connector at subframe # denoted m, which is defined as the start
of time period T2. Subframe m is an even number. The test equipment should send a PDCCH order to the UE to initiate RA
procedure on the PUCCH SCell at subframe (m+24). The UE shall be able to report valid CSI for the activated SCell no later than
subframe (m+58). Any PCell interruption due to the activation shall not occur outside subframe (m+5) to (m+9).

A MAC message for deactivation of the SCell is received at the UE antenna connector at subframe # denoted n, which is defined as
the start of time period T3. The UE shall carry out the deactivation of the SCell no later than subframe (n+8). Any PCell
interruption due to the deactivation shall not occur outside subframe (n+5) to (n+9).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during the activation and the deactivation, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell activation command is sent
until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received from the PUCCH SCell.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell deactivation command is
sent until CQI reporting fom the PUCCH SCell is discontinued.

A.8.16.48 2DL/2UL TDD CA activation and deactivation of known PUCCH SCell


without valid TA in non-DRX

A.8.16.48.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that SCell activation and deactivation are done within the required time period defined in
clause 7.7 for 2DL/2UL TDD carrier aggregation, when PUCCH for a being activated SCell is configured on the SCell. The SCell
is known by a UE and the UE does not have valid TA for a sTAG which the SCell belongs to at the time of activation.

Test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.48.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.48.1-2. The test consists of three
successive time periods with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are two carriers. In each carrier only one cell exists. All
cells have constant signal levels throughout the test. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in Cell 1 (PCell) throughout the test.

Before the test starts, the UE is connected to the PCell (Cell 1) on radio channel 1 (PCC), but is not aware of Cell 2 (SCell) on
radio channel 2 (SCC). The PCell is in the pTAG and the SCell is in a sTAG. The UE is only monitoring the PCC.

At the beginning of T1, the UE receives an RRC message by which the SCell (Cell 2) gets configured with PUCCH on radio
channel 2 (SCC). The UE now starts monitoring the SCC also. A test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of the SCell.

The MAC message for the activation is received at the UE antenna connector at subframe # denoted m, which is defined as the start
of time period T2. Subframe m is an even number. The test equipment should send a PDCCH order to the UE to initiate RA
procedure on the PUCCH SCell at subframe (m+24). The UE shall be able to report valid CSI for the activated SCell no later than
subframe (m+58). Any PCell interruption due to the activation shall not occur outside subframe (m+5) to (m+11).

A MAC message for deactivation of the SCell is received at the UE antenna connector at subframe # denoted n, which is defined as
the start of time period T3. The UE shall carry out the deactivation of the SCell no later than subframe (n+8). Any PCell
interruption due to the deactivation shall not occur outside subframe (n+5) to (n+11).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during the activation and the deactivation, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell activation command is sent
until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received from the PUCCH SCell.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell deactivation command is
sent until CQI reporting fom the PUCCH SCell is discontinued.

PUCCH SCell without valid TA in non-DRX

A.8.16.50.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that SCell activation and deactivation are done within the required time period defined in clause
7.7 for 2DL/2UL TDD-FDD carrier aggregation with PCell in TDD, when PUCCH for a being activated SCell is configured on the
SCell. The SCell is known by a UE and the UE does not have valid TA for an sTAG which the SCell belongs to at the time of
activation.

Test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.50.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.50.1-2. The test consists of three
successive time periods with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are two carriers. In each carrier only one cell exists. All
cells have constant signal levels throughout the test. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in Cell 1 (PCell) throughout the test.

Before the test starts, the UE is connected to the PCell (Cell 1) on radio channel 1 (PCC), but is not aware of Cell 2 (SCell) on
radio channel 2 (SCC). The PCell is in the pTAG and the SCell is in an sTAG. The UE is only monitoring the PCC.

At the beginning of T1, the UE receives an RRC message by which the SCell (Cell 2) gets configured with PUCCH on radio
channel 2 (SCC). The UE now starts monitoring the SCC also. The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of the
SCell.

The MAC message for the activation is received at the UE antenna connector at subframe # denoted m, which is defined as the start
of time period T2. Subframe m is an even number. The test equipment should send a PDCCH order to the UE to initiate RA
procedure on the PUCCH SCell at subframe (m+24). The UE shall be able to report valid CSI for the activated SCell no later than
subframe (m+58). Any PCell interruption due to the activation shall not occur outside subframe (m+5) to (m+9).

A MAC message for deactivation of the SCell is received at the UE antenna connector at subframe # denoted n, which is defined as
the start of time period T3. The UE shall carry out the deactivation of the SCell no later than subframe (n+8). Any PCell
interruption due to the deactivation shall not occur outside subframe (n+5) to (n+9).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation and deactivation of SCell, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell activation command is sent
until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received from the PUCCH SCell.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell deactivation command is
sent until CQI reporting fom the PUCCH SCell is discontinued.

(Serving cell becomes worse than threshold) and A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell) defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the
requirements stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1.

In this test case there are 5 cells. Cell 1 is the PCell on the FDD PCC F1. Cell 2 is the configured and deactivated SCell on the FDD
SCC F2. Cell 3 is the configured and deactivated SCell on the FDD SCC F3. Cell 4 is the configured and deactivated SCell on the
FDD SCC F4, and cell 5 is the neighbor cell on the FDD SCC F4.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.51.1-1 and A.8.16.51.1-2 below. It is indicated to the UE in the measurement control
information that event-triggered reporting with Events A1 (cell2), A2 (PCell and SCells) and A6 are used. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. During T1 the UE shall not have any information on cell 5.
At the beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 5 is increased to the same level as for cell 4, and due to usage of an offset
this shall result in reporting of Event A6. Also, at the beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 2 is increased to the same
level as for cell 1, which shall result in reporting of Event A1. At the beginning of T3 the transmission powers of cells 1, 2, 3, 4 and
5 are reduced below a threshold value and this shall result in reporting of Event A2 for Cell 1, for Cell 2, for Cell3 and for Cell 4.

SCells in Non-DRX

A.8.16.52.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects events A1 (Serving cell becomes better than threshold), A2
(Serving cell becomes worse than threshold) and A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell) defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the
requirements stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1.

In this test case there are 5 cells. Cell 1 is the PCell on the TDD PCC F1. Cell 2 is the configured and deactivated SCell on the
TDD SCC F2. Cell 3 is the configured and deactivated SCell on the TDD SCC F3. Cell 4 is the configured and deactivated SCell
on the TDD SCC F4, and cell 5 is the neighbor cell on the TDD SCC F4.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.52.1-1 and A.8.16.52.1-2 below. It is indicated to the UE in the measurement control
information that event-triggered reporting with Events A1 (cell2), A2 (PCell and SCells) and A6 are used. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. During T1 the UE shall not have any information on cell 5.
At the beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 5 is increased to the same level as for cell 4, and due to usage of an offset
this shall result in reporting of Event A6. Also, at the beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 2 is increased to the same
level as for cell 1, which shall result in reporting of Event A1. At the beginning of T3 the transmission powers of cells 1, 2, 3, 4 and
5 are reduced below a threshold value and this shall result in reporting of Event A2 for Cell 1, for Cell 2, for Cell3 and for Cell 4.

(20×measCycleSCell) from the beginning of time T2.

The UE shall send one Event A1 triggered measurement report for Cell 2 with a measurement reporting delay of less than 6.4s
(20×measCycleSCell from beginning of time T2.

The UE shall send one Event A2 triggered measurement report for Cell 1 with a measurement reporting delay of less than 200 ms
from beginning of time T3.

The UE shall send one Event A2 triggered measurement report for Cell 2 with a measurement reporting delay of less than 1.6s (5×
measCycleSCell) from beginning of time T3.

The UE shall send one Event A2 triggered measurement report for Cell 3 with a measurement reporting delay of less than 1.6s (5×
measCycleSCell) from beginning of time T3.

The UE shall send one Event A2 triggered measurement report for Cell 4 with a measurement reporting delay of less than 1.6s (5×
measCycleSCell) from beginning of time T3.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90% for each of the events.

NOTE: The actual overall delays measured in the tests may be up to 2×TTIDCCH higher than the measurement reporting
delays above because of TTI insertion uncertainty of the measurement report in DCCH.

A.8.16.54 4 DL PCell in TDD CA Event Triggered Reporting with 3 Deactivated


SCells in Non-DRX

A.8.16.54.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects events A1 (Serving cell becomes better than threshold), A2
(Serving cell becomes worse than threshold) and A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell) defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the
requirements stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.54.1-1, A.8.16.54.1-2 and A.8.16.54.1-3 below. It is indicated to the UE in the
measurement control information that event-triggered reporting with Events A1 (for only SCell1 i.e. cell2), A2 (PCell and SCells)
and A6 is used. The test consists of three successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. During T1 the UE
shall not have any information on cell 5. At the beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 5 is increased to the same level as
for cell 4, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6. Also, at the beginning of T2 the transmission
power of cell 2 is increased to the same level as for cell 1, which shall result in reporting of Event A1. At the beginning of T3 the
transmission powers of cells 1, 2, 3 and 4 are reduced below a threshold value and this shall result in reporting of Event A2 for Cell
1, for Cell 2, for Cell 3 and for Cell 4.

A.8.16.55 E-UTRAN FDD 4 DL CA Event Triggered Reporting on


Deactivated SCell with PCell and SCell Interruptions in Non-DRX

A.8.16.55.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects event A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell)
defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the requirements stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1 while at the same time fulfilling the
requirement on interruption rate.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.16.55.1-1, A.8.16.55.1-2 and A.8.16.55.1-3 below. In the test there are five
cells: Cell 1, Cell 2, Cell 3, Cell 4 and Cell 5. Cell 1 is PCell on the FDD primary component (RF Channel 1), Cell 2 is
SCell on the FDD secondary component (RF Channel 2), Cell 3 is SCell on the FDD secondary component (RF
Channel 3), Cell 4 is SCell on the FDD secondary component (RF Channel 4) and Cell 5 is the neighbour cell on the
FDD secondary component (RF Channel 4). It is indicated to the UE in the measurement control information that event-
triggered reporting with Event A6 is used. The test consists of four successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2, T3
and T4, respectively. During T1 and T2, Cell2, Cell3 and Cell4 are deactivated. During T1 the UE shall not have any
information of Cell 5. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of Cell 5 is increased to same level as for
Cell 4, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6.

At the beginning of T3, the transmission power of Cell 5 is turned off, and the test equipment sends a MAC message for
activation of Cell 2 to UE but Cell3 and Cell4 remains deactivated. Immediately at beginning of T4 the transmission
power of Cell 5 is increased to same level as for Cell 4, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of
Event A6. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test and continuously scheduled in
Cell2 during T4.

A.8.16.55.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall send one Event A6 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 12.8s
(20×scellMeasCycle) from the beginning of time period T2.

The UE shall send one Event A6 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 3.2s
(5×scellMeasCycle) from the beginning of time period T4.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The UE shall be scheduled on PCell continuously throughout the test. From the start of T1 until the measurement report
is received during T2, at least 99.5% of all expected ACK/NACKs shall be transmitted by the UE.

The UE shall be scheduled on Cell2 continuously from the beginning of T4 to the end. From the start of T4 until the
measurement report is received during T4, at least 99.5% of all expected ACK/NACKs shall be transmitted by the UE.

For a test to be considered successful requirements on both event detection and percentage of transmitted ACK/NACKs
have to be fulfilled simultaneously.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to 2xTTIDCCH higher than the measurement
reporting delays above because of TTI insertion uncertainty of the measurement report in DCCH.

A.8.16.56 E-UTRAN TDD 4 DL CA Event Triggered Reporting on


Deactivated SCell with PCell and SCell Interruptions in Non-DRX

A.8.16.56.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects event A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell)
defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the requirements stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1 while at the same time fulfilling the
requirement on interruption rate.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.16.56.1-1, A.8.16.56.1-2 and A.8.16.56.1-3 below. In the test there are five
cells: Cell 1, Cell 2, Cell 3, Cell 4and Cell 5. Cell 1 is PCell on the TDD primary component (RF Channel 1), Cell 2 is
SCell on the TDD secondary component (RF Channel 2), Cell 3 is SCell on the TDD secondary component (RF
Channel 3), Cell 4 is SCell on the TDD secondary component (RF Channel 4) and Cell 5 is the neighbour cell on the
TDD secondary component (RF Channel 4). It is indicated to the UE in the measurement control information that event-
triggered reporting with Event A6 is used. The test consists of four successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2, T3
and T4, respectively. During T1 and T2, Cell2, Cell3 and Cell4 are deactivated. During T1 the UE shall not have any
information of Cell 5. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of Cell 5 is increased to same level as for
Cell 3, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6.

At the beginning of T3, the transmission power of Cell 5 is turned off, and the test equipment sends a MAC message for
activation of Cell 2 to UE but Cell3 and Cell4 remains deactivated. Immediately at beginning of T4 the transmission
power of Cell 5 is increased to same level as for Cell 3, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of
Event A6. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test and continuously scheduled in
Cell2 during T4.

A.8.16.57.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in section 7.7
for UE configured with three downlink SCells, when the SCell is known by the UE at the time of activation and PCell is in FDD.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.57.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.57.1-2 below. The test consists of
three successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are four carriers, each with one cell. All cells
have constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC),
Cell 3 (deactivated SCell2) on radio channel 3 (SCC2) and Cell4 (deactivated SCell3) on radio channel 4 (SCC3), but is not aware
of Cell2 (SCell1) on radio channel 2 (SCC1). The UE is only monitoring the PCC, SCC2 and SCC3. The UE shall be continuously
scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the SCell1 (Cell2) becomes configured on radio channel 2
(SCC1). The UE now starts monitoring also the SCC1. The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of the SCell1.

The point in time at which the MAC message is received at the UE antenna connector, in a subframe #denoted m which is an even
number, defines the start of time period T2. At the beginning of T2 the test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of the
SCell1. The UE receives the SCell2 activation command in a subframe (m+10) and receives the SCell3 activation command in a
subframe (m+20) during activation of the SCell1. The UE shall be able to report valid CSIs for the activated SCell at latest in a
subframe (m+34). The UE shall start reporting CSI for SCell1 in subframe in (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-range)
until the subframe activation has been completed. Any PCell interruption due to activation of SCells shall occur in the subframe
(m+5) to (m+9), (m+15) to (m+19) and (m+25) to (m+29).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of SCell1, send from the test equipment to the UE in a subframe
#denoted n, is received at the UE antenna connector. The test equipment sends a MAC message for deactivation of the SCell2 in
subframe (n+10) and send a MAC message for deactivation of the SCell3 in subframe (n+20). The UE shall carry out deactivation
of the SCell1 at latest in subframe (n+8), and any interruption due to the deactivation of SCells shall occur in the subframe (n+5) to
(n+9), (n+15) to (n+19) and (n+25) to (n+29).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation and deactivation of SCell1, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell1 activation command is
sent until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell1 deactivation command
is sent until CQI reporting for SCell1 is discontinued.

A.8.16.57.2 Test Requirements


During T2, the UE shall send the first CSI report for SCell1 in a subframe (m+8), or in a subframe (m+10) if the subframe (m+8)
was subject to interruption. Whether CSI report in subframe (m+8) was interrupted or not is checked by monitoring ACK/NACK
sent in PCell in subframe (m+8).

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell1 with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+34).

During T3 the UE shall stop sending CSI reports for SCell1 at latest in a subframe (n+8).

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCells activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+9), outside the
subframes (m+15) to (m+19) and outside the subframes (m+25) to (m+29).

During T3 interruption of PCell during SCells deactivation shall not happen outside the subframes (n+5) to (n+9), outside the
subframes (n+15) to (n+19) and outside the subframes (n+25) to (n+29).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for intra-band CA and inter-band CA in Section 7.8.2.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay
to be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay during repeated tests
shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: During T2 if there are no uplink resources for reporting the valid CSI in a subframe (m+34) then the UE shall use the
next available uplink resource for reporting the corresponding valid CSI.

A.8.16.58 E-UTRAN TDD 4DL CA activation and deactivation of know SCell in non-
DRX

A.8.16.58.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in clause 7.7 for
4DL TDD carrier aggregation, when the SCells are known by the UE at the time of activation.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.58-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.58-2 below. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are four carriers, each with one cell. All cells have
constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC),
Cell 3 (deactivated SCell2) on radio channel 3 (SCC2) and Cell 4 (deactivated SCell3) on radio channel 4 (SCC3), but is not aware
of Cell 2 (SCell1) on radio channel 2 (SCC1). The UE is only monitoring the PCC, SCC2 and SCC3. The UE shall be continuously
scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the SCell1 (Cell 2) becomes configured on radio channel 2
(SCC1). The UE now starts monitoring also the SCC1. The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of the SCell1.

The point in time at which the MAC message is received at the UE antenna connector, in a subframe # denoted m, where m is 4 or
9, defines the start of time period T2. At the beginning of T2 the test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of the SCell1.
The UE receives the SCell2 and SCell3 activation command in a subframe (m+15) during activation of the SCell1. The UE shall be
able to report valid CSIs for the activated SCell1 at latest in a subframe (m+34). The UE shall start reporting CSI for SCell1 in
subframe (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until the SCell activation has been completed. Any PCell interruption
due to activation of SCells shall occur in the subframes (m+5) to (m+11) and (m+20) to (m+26).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of SCell1, sent from the test equipment to the UE, in a subframe #
denoted n, where n is 4 or 9, is received at the UE antenna connector. The test equipment sends a MAC message for deactivation of
the SCell2 in subframe (n+15) and for deactivation of the SCell3 in subframe (n+30). The UE shall carry out deactivation of the
SCell1 at latest in subframe (n+8), and any PCell interruption due to the deactivation of SCells shall occur in the subframes (n+5)
to (n+11), (n+20) to (n+26) and (n+35) to (n+41).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation and deactivation of SCells, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell1 activation command is
sent until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell1 deactivation command
is sent until CQI reporting for SCell1 is discontinued.

SCell is activated. Whether CSI report in subframe (m+8) and/or (m+9) was interrupted or not is checked by monitoring
ACK/NACK sent in PCell in subframe (m+8) and/or (m+9).

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell1 with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+34).

During T3 the UE shall stop sending CSI reports for SCell1 at latest in subframe (n+8).

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCells activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+11) and outside the
subframes (m+20) to (m+26).

During T3 interruption of PCell during SCells deactivation shall not happen outside the subframes (n+5) to (n+11), outside the
subframes (n+20) to (n+26) and outside the subframes (n+35) to (n+41).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for intra-band CA and inter-band CA in Section 7.8.2.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay
to be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay during repeated tests
shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: During T2 if there are no uplink resources for reporting the valid CSI in a subframe (m+34) then the UE shall use the
next available uplink resource for reporting the corresponding valid CSI.

A.8.16.59 E-UTRAN PCell in FDD FDD-TDD 4 DL CA activation and deactivation of


known SCell in non-DRX

A.8.16.59.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in section 7.7
for UE configured with three downlink SCells, when the SCell is known by the UE at the time of activation and PCell is in FDD.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.59.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.59.1-2 and A.8.16.59.1-3 below. The
test consists of three successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are four carriers, each with one
cell. All cells have constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio
channel 1 (PCC), deactivated Cell 3 (SCell2) on radio channel 3 (SCC2) and deactivated Cell 4 (SCell3) on radio channel 4
(SCC3) but is not aware of Cell 2 (SCell1) on radio channel 2 (SCC1). The UE is only monitoring PCC, SCC2 and SCC3. The UE
shall be continuously scheduled in PCell throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the SCell1 becomes configured on SCC1. The UE now starts
monitoring also SCC1. The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of SCell1.

The point in time at which the MAC message is received at the UE antenna connector, in a subframe # denoted m which is an even
number, defines the start of time period T2. The UE receives a MAC message for activation of SCell2 in a subframe (m+10) and a
MAC message for activation of SCell3 in subframe (m+20) during activation of SCell1. The UE shall be able to report valid CSI
for the activated SCell1 at latest in subframe (m+34). The UE shall start reporting CSI for SCell1 in subframe (m+8) and shall
report CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until the SCell activation has been completed. Any PCell interruption due to activation of SCells
shall not occur outside subframes (m+5) to (m+9), (m+15) to (m+19) and (m+25) to (m+29).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of SCell1, sent from the test equipment to the UE in a subframe #
denoted n, is received at the UE antenna connector. The test equipment sends a MAC message for deactivation of the SCell2 in
subframe (n+10) and a MAC message for deactivation of the SCell3 in subframe (n+20). The UE shall carry out deactivation of the
SCell1 at latest in subframe (n+8), and any PCell interruption due to the deactivation of SCells shall not occur outside subframes
(n+5) to (n+9), (n+15) to (n+19) and (n+25) to (n+29).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation and deactivation of SCell1, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when SCell1 activation command is sent
until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when SCell1 deactivation command is
sent until CQI reporting for SCell1 is discontinued.

A.8.16.59.2 Test Requirements


During T2 the UE shall send the first CSI report for SCell1 in a subframe (m+8), or in a subframe (m+10) if the subframe (m+8)
was subject to interruption. Whether CSI report in subframe (m+8) was interrupted or not is checked by monitoring ACK/NACK
sent in PCell in subframe (m+8).

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell1 with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+34).

During T3 the UE shall stop sending CSI reports for SCell1 at latest in a subframe (n+8).

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCells activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+9), outside the
subframes (m+15) to (m+19), and outside the subframes (m+25) to (m+29).

During T3 interruption of PCell during SCells deactivation shall not happen outside the subframes (n+5) to (n+9), outside the
subframes (n+15) to (n+19), and (n+25) to (n+29).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for intra-band CA and inter-band CA in Section 7.8.2.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay
to be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay during repeated tests
shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: During T2 if there are no uplink resources for reporting the valid CSI in a subframe (m+34) then the UE shall use the
next available uplink resource for reporting the corresponding valid CSI.

A.8.16.60 E-UTRAN PCell in TDD FDD-TDD 4 DL CA activation and deactivation of


known SCell in non-DRX

A.8.16.60.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in section 7.7
for UE configured with three downlink SCells, when the SCell is known by the UE at the time of activation and PCell is in TDD.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.60.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.60.1-2 and A.8.16.60.1-3 below. The
test consists of three successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are four carriers, each with one
cell. All cells have constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio
channel 1 (PCC), deactivated Cell 3 (SCell2) on radio channel 3 (SCC2) and deactivated Cell 4 (SCell3) on radio channel 4
(SCC3) but is not aware of Cell 2 (SCell1) on radio channel 2 (SCC1). The UE is only monitoring the PCC, SCC2 and SCC3. The
UE shall be continuously scheduled in PCell throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the SCell1 becomes configured on SCC1. The UE now starts
monitoring also SCC1. The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of the SCell1.

The point in time at which the MAC message is received at the UE antenna connector, in a subframe # denoted m, where m is 4 or
9, defines the start of time period T2. The UE receives a MAC message for activation of SCell 2 and SCell3 in a subframe (m+15)
during activation of the SCell1. The UE shall be able to report valid CSI for the activated SCell1 at latest in a subframe (m+34).
The UE shall start reporting CSI for SCell1 in subframe (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until the SCell
activation has been completed. Any PCell interruption due to activation of SCells shall not occur outside subframes (m+5) to
(m+11) and (m+20) to (m+26).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of SCell1, sent from the test equipment to the UE in a subframe #
denoted n, where n is 4 or 9, is received at the UE antenna connector. The test equipment sends a MAC message for deactivation of
the SCell2 in subframe (n+15) and a MAC message for deactivation of the SCell3 in subframe (n+30). The UE shall carry out
deactivation of the SCell1 at latest in subframe (n+8), and any PCell interruption due to the deactivation of SCells shall not occur
outside subframes (n+5) to (n+11), (n+20) to (n+26) and (n+35) to (n+41).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation and deactivation of SCell1, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when SCell1 activation command is sent
until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when SCell1 deactivation command is
sent until CQI reporting for SCell1 is discontinued.

A.8.16.60.2 Test Requirements


During T2 the UE shall send the first CSI report for SCell1 in a subframe (m+8), or in a subframe (m+9) if the subframe (m+8) was
subject to interruption. Whether CSI report in subframe (m+8) was interrupted or not is checked by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell in subframe (m+8).

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell1 with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+34).

During T3 the UE shall stop sending CSI reports for SCell at latest in a subframe (n+8).

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCells activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+11) and outside the
subframes (m+20) to (m+26).

During T3 interruption of PCell during SCells deactivation shall not happen outside the subframes (n+5) to (n+11), outside the
subframes (n+20) to (n+26) and outside the subframes (n+35) to (n+41).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for intra-band CA and inter-band CA in Section 7.8.2.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay
to be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay during repeated tests
shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: During T2 if there are no uplink resources for reporting the valid CSI in a subframe (m+34) then the UE shall use the
next available uplink resource for reporting the corresponding valid CSI.

A.8.16.61 E-UTRAN FDD 4DL CA activation and deactivation of unknown SCell in


non-DRX

A.8.16.61.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in section 7.7
for UE configured with four downlink SCells, when the SCell is unknown by the UE at the time of activation and PCell is in FDD.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.61.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.61.1-2 below. The test consists of
three successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are four carriers, each with one cell. Cell 1, Cell
3, and Cell 4 have constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell1 (PCell) on radio
channel 1 (PCC), Cell 3 (deactivated SCell2) on radio channel 3 (SCC2) and Cell4 (deactivated SCell3) on radio channel 4
(SCC3), but is not aware of Cell2 (SCell1) on radio channel 2 (SCC1). The UE is only monitoring the PCC, SCC2 and SCC3. The
UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the Cell 2 (SCell1) becomes configured on radio channel 2
(SCC1). During T1 the signal level of Cell 2 (SCell1) is powered off and UE is not aware of Cell 2 (SCell1).

A MAC message for activation of the SCell1 is sent by the test equipment 100ms after the RRC message, in a subframe # denoted
m which is an even number. The point in time at which the MAC message for activation of Cell 2 (SCell1) is received at the UE
antenna connector defines the start of time period T2. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of Cell 2 (SCell1) is
increased to same level as for Cell 1 (PCell). The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of Cell 3 (SCell2) and Cell4
(SCell 3) in subframe (m+10) and subframe (m+20), respectivity. Since UE received SCell2 activation command during activation
of SCell1, the UE shall be able to report valid CSIs for the activated SCell1 at latest in subframe (m+44) provided the SCell1 can
be successfully detected on the first attempt. The UE shall start reporting CSI in subframe (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-
of-range) until the SCell activation has been completed. Any PCell interruption due to activation of SCells shall occur in the
subframes (m+5) to (m+9), (m+15) to (m+19) and (m+25) to (m+29).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of Cell 2 (SCell1), sent from the test equipment to the UE in a
subframe # denoted n, is received at the UE antenna connector. The test equipment sends a MAC message for deactivation of the
Cell 3 (SCell2) and Cell4 (SCell3) in subframe (n+10) and (n+20), respectivity. The UE shall carry out deactivation of Cell 2
(SCell1) at latest in subframe (n+8), and any PCell interruption due to the deactivation of SCells shall occur in the subframes (n+5)
to (n+9), (n+15) to (n+19) and (n+25) to (n+29).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation and deactivation of SCells, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the Cell 2 (SCell1) activation
command is sent until a CSI reports with other than CQI index 0 is received.

A.8.16.61.2 Test Requirements


During T2, the UE shall send the first CSI report for SCell1 in a subframe (m+8), or in a subframe (m+10) if the subframe (m+8)
was subject to interruption. Whether CSI report in subframe (m+8) was interrupted or not is checked by monitoring ACK/NACK
sent in PCell in subframe (m+8).

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell1 with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+44).

During T3 the UE shall stop sending CSI reports for SCell1 at latest in a subframe (n+8).

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCells activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+9), outside the
subframes (m+15) to (m+19) and outside the subframes (m+25) to (m+29).

During T3 interruption of PCell during SCells deactivation shall not happen outside the subframes (n+5) to (n+9), outside the
subframes (n+15) to (n+19) and outside the subframes (n+25) to (n+29).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for intra-band CA and inter-band CA in Section 7.8.2.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay
to be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay during repeated tests
shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: During T2 if there are no uplink resources for reporting the valid CSI in a subframe (m+44) then the UE shall use the
next available uplink resource for reporting the corresponding valid CSI.

A.8.16.62 E-UTRAN TDD 4DL CA activation and deactivation of unknown SCell in


non-DRX

A.8.16.62.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in clause 7.7 for
4DL TDD carrier aggregation, when the SCells are unknown by the UE at the time of activation.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.62-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.62-2 below. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are four carriers, each with one cell. Cell 1, Cell 3, and
Cell 4 have constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1
(PCC), Cell 3 (deactivated SCell2) on radio channel 3 (SCC2) and Cell 4 (deactivated SCell3) on radio channel 4 (SCC3), but is
not aware of Cell 2 (SCell1) on radio channel 2 (SCC1). The UE is only monitoring the PCC, SCC2 and SCC3. The UE shall be
continuously scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the Cell 2 (SCell 1) becomes configured on radio channel 2
(SCC1). During T1 the signal level of Cell 2 (SCell 1) is powered off and UE is not aware of Cell 2 (SCell1).

A MAC message for activation of the SCell1 is sent by the test equipment 100ms after the RRC message, in a subframe # denoted
m, where m is 4 or 9. The point in time at which the MAC message for activation of Cell 2 (SCell1) is received at the UE antenna
connector defines the start of time period T2. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of Cell 2 (SCell1) is
increased to same level as for Cell 1 (PCell). The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of Cell 3 (SCell2) and Cell 4
(SCell3) in subframe (m+15) and subframe (m+30), respectivity. Since UE received SCell2 activation command during activation
of SCell1, the UE shall be able to report valid CSIs for the activated SCell1 at latest in subframe (m+44) provided the SCell1 can
be successfully detected on the first attempt. The UE shall start reporting CSI in subframe (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-
of-range) until the SCell activation has been completed. Any PCell interruption due to activation of SCells shall occur in the
subframes (m+5) to (m+11), (m+20) to (m+26) and (m+35) to (m+41).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of Cell 2 (SCell1), sent from the test equipment to the UE in a
subframe # denoted n, where n is 4 or 9, is received at the UE antenna connector. The test equipment sends a MAC message for
deactivation of the Cell 3 (SCell2) and Cell 4 (SCell3) in subframe (n+15) and (n+30), respectivity. The UE shall carry out
deactivation of Cell 2 (SCell1) at latest in subframe (n+8), and any PCell interruption due to the deactivation of SCells shall occur
in the subframes (n+5) to (n+11), (n+20) to (n+26) and (n+35) to (n+41).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation and deactivation of SCells, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the Cell 2 (SCell1) activation
command is sent until a CSI reports with other than CQI index 0 is received.
1085
Release 15 1086 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the Cell 2 (SCell1) deactivation
command is sent until CQI reporting for SCell1 is discontinued.

A.8.16.62.2 Test Requirements


During T2 the UE shall send the first CSI report for SCell1 in a subframe (m+8), or in a subframe (m+9) if the subframe (m+8) was
subject to interruption, or in a subframe (m+13) if the subframe (m+8) and (m+9) were subject to interruption when an intra-band
SCell is activated. Whether CSI report in subframe (m+8) and/or (m+9) was interrupted or not is checked by monitoring
ACK/NACK sent in PCell in subframe (m+8) and/or (m+9).

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell1 with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+44).

During T3 the UE shall stop sending CSI reports for SCell1 at latest in subframe (n+8).

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCells activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+11), outside the
subframes (m+20) to (m+26), and outside the subframes (n+35) to (n+41).

During T3 interruption of PCell during SCells deactivation shall not happen outside the subframes (n+5) to (n+11), outside the
subframes (n+20) to (n+26) and outside the subframes (n+35) to (n+41).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for intra-band CA and inter-band CA in Section 7.8.2.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay
to be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay during repeated tests
shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: During T2 if there are no uplink resources for reporting the valid CSI in a subframe (m+44) then the UE shall use the
next available uplink resource for reporting the corresponding valid CSI.

A.8.16.63 E-UTRAN PCell in FDD FDD-TDD 4 DL CA activation and deactivation of


unknown SCell in non-DRX

A.8.16.63.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in section 7.7
for UE configured with three downlink SCells, when the SCell is unknown by the UE at the time of activation and PCell is in FDD.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.63.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.63.1-2 and A.8.16.63.1-3 below. The
test consists of three successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are four carriers, each with one
cell. Cell 1, Cell 3 and Cell 4 have constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1
(PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC), deactivated Cell 3 (SCell2) on radio channel 3 (SCC2) and deactivated Cell 4 (SCell3) on radio
channel 4 (SCC3) but is not aware of Cell 2 (SCell1) on radio channel 2 (SCC1). The UE is only monitoring PCC, SCC2 and
SCC3. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in PCell throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which SCell1 becomes configured on SCC1. During T1 SCell1 is
powered off and the UE is not aware of SCell1.

A MAC message for activation of SCell1 is sent by the test equipment 100ms after the RRC message, in a subframe # denoted m
which is an even number. The point in time at which the MAC message for activation of SCell1 is received at the UE antenna
connector defines the start of time period T2. Immediately at beginning of T2 transmission power of SCell1 is increased to same
level as for PCell. The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of the SCell2 in subframe (m+10) and a MAC message
for activation of the SCell3 in subframe (m+20) during activation of SCell1. The UE shall be able to report valid CSI for the
activated SCell1 at latest in subframe (m+44) provided SCell1 can be successfully detected on the first attempt. The UE shall start
reporting CSI for SCell1 in subframe (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until the SCell activation has been
completed. Any PCell interruption due to activation of SCells shall not occur outside subframes (m+5) to (m+9), (m+15) to (m+19)
and (m+25) to (m+29).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of SCell1, sent from the test equipment to the UE in a subframe #
denoted n, is received at the UE antenna connector. The test equipment sends a MAC message for deactivation of the SCell2 in
subframe (n+10) and a MAC message for deactivation of the SCell3 in subframe (n+20). The UE shall carry out deactivation of
SCell1 at latest in subframe (n+8), and any PCell interruption due to the deactivation of SCells shall not occur outside subframes
(n+5) to (n+9), (n+15) to (n+19) and (n+25) to (n+29).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation and deactivation of SCell1, respectively.

Release 15 1089 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when SCell1 activation command is sent
until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when SCell1 deactivation command is
sent until CQI reporting for SCell1 is discontinued.

A.8.16.63.2 Test Requirements


During T2 the UE shall send the first CSI report for SCell1 in a subframe (m+8), or in a subframe (m+10) if the subframe (m+8)
was subject to interruption. Whether CSI report in subframe (m+8) was interrupted or not is checked by monitoring ACK/NACK
sent in PCell in subframe (m+8).

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell1 with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+44).

During T3 the UE shall stop sending CSI reports for SCell1 at latest in a subframe (n+8).

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCells activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+9), outside the
subframes (m+15) to (m+19), and outside the subframes (m+25) to (m+29).

During T3 interruption of PCell during SCells deactivation shall not happen outside the subframes (n+5) to (n+9), outside the
subframes (n+15) to (n+19), and (n+25) to (n+29).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for intra-band CA and inter-band CA in Section 7.8.2.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay
to be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay during repeated tests
shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: During T2 if there are no uplink resources for reporting the valid CSI in a subframe (m+44) then the UE shall use the
next available uplink resource for reporting the corresponding valid CSI.

A.8.16.64 E-UTRAN PCell in TDD FDD-TDD 4 DL CA activation and deactivation of


unknown SCell in non-DRX

A.8.16.64.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in section 7.7
for UE configured with three downlink SCells, when the SCell is unknown by the UE at the time of activation and PCell is in TDD.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.64.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.64.1-2 and A.8.16.64.1-3 below. The
test consists of three successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are four carriers, each with one
cell. Cell 1, Cell 3 and Cell 4 have constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1
(PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC), deactivated Cell 3 (SCell2) on radio channel 3 (SCC2) and deactivated Cell 4 (SCell3) on radio
channel 4 (SCC3) but is not aware of Cell 2 (SCell1) on radio channel 2 (SCC1). The UE is only monitoring PCC, SCC2 and
SCC3. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in PCell throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which SCell1 becomes configured on SCC1. During T1 SCell1 is
powered off and the UE is not aware of SCell1.

A MAC message for activation of SCell1 is sent by the test equipment 100ms after the RRC message, in a subframe # denoted m
which is 4 or 9. The point in time at which the MAC message for activation of SCell1 is received at the UE antenna connector
defines the start of time period T2. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of SCell1 is increased to same level as
for PCell. The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of SCell2 in subframe (m+15) and a MAC message for
activation of SCell3 in subframe (m+30) during activation of SCell1. The UE shall be able to report valid CSI for the activated
SCell1 at latest in subframe (m+44) provided the SCell1 can be successfully detected on the first attempt. The UE shall start
reporting CSI for SCell1 in subframe (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until the SCell activation has been
completed. Any PCell interruption due to activation of SCells shall not occur outside subframes (m+5) to (m+11), (m+20) to
(m+26) and (m+35) to (m+41).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of SCell1, sent from the test equipment to the UE in a subframe #
denoted n, where n is 4 or 9, is received at the UE antenna connector. The test equipment sends a MAC message for deactivation of
the SCell2 in subframe (n+15) and a MAC message for deactivation of the SCell3 in subframe (n+30). The UE shall carry out
deactivation of SCell1 at latest in subframe (n+8), and any PCell interruption due to the deactivation of SCells shall not occur
outside subframes (n+5) to (n+11), (n+20) to (n+26) and (n+35) to (n+41).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation and deactivation of SCell1, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from time when the SCell1 activation command is sent
until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

1092
Release 15 1093 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from time when the SCell1 deactivation command is
sent until CQI reporting for SCell1 is discontinued.

A.8.16.64.2 Test Requirements


During T2 the UE shall send the first CSI report for SCell1 in a subframe (m+8), or in a subframe (m+9) if the subframe (m+8) was
subject to interruption. Whether CSI report in subframe (m+8) was interrupted or not is checked by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell in subframe (m+8).

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell1 with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+44).

During T3 the UE shall stop sending CSI reports for SCell at latest in a subframe (n+8).

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCells activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+11), outside the
subframes (m+20) to (m+26), and outside the subframes (m+35) to (m+41).

During T3 interruption of PCell during SCells deactivation shall not happen outside the subframes (n+5) to (n+11), outside the
subframes (n+20) to (n+26) and outside the subframes (n+35) to (n+41).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for intra-band CA and inter-band CA in Section 7.8.2.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay
to be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay during repeated tests
shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: During T2 if there are no uplink resources for reporting the valid CSI in a subframe (m+44) then the UE shall use the
next available uplink resource for reporting the corresponding valid CSI.

A.8.16.65 5 DL FDD-TDD with PCell in FDD CA Event Triggered Reporting with 4


Deactivated SCells in Non-DRX

A.8.16.65.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects events A1 (Serving cell becomes better than threshold), A2
(Serving cell becomes worse than threshold) and A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell) defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the
requirements stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.65.1-1, A.8.16.65.1-2 and A.8.16.65.1-3 below. It is indicated to the UE in the
measurement control information that event-triggered reporting with Events A1 (for only SCell1 i.e. cell2), A2 (PCell and SCells)
and A6 is used. The test consists of three successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. During T1 the UE
shall not have any information on cell 6. At the beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 6 is increased to the same level as
for cell 5, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6. Also, at the beginning of T2 the transmission
power of cell 2 is increased to the same level as for cell 1, which shall result in reporting of Event A1. At the beginning of T3 the
transmission powers of cells 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are reduced below a threshold value and this shall result in reporting of Event A2 for
Cell 1, for Cell 2, for Cell 3, for Cell 4 and for Cell 5.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90% for each of the events.

NOTE: The actual overall delays measured in the tests may be up to 2×TTIDCCH higher than the measurement reporting
delays above because of TTI insertion uncertainty of the measurement report in DCCH.

A.8.16.66 5 DL FDD-TDD with PCell in TDD CA Event Triggered Reporting with 4


Deactivated SCells in Non-DRX

A.8.16.66.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects events A1 (Serving cell becomes better than threshold), A2
(Serving cell becomes worse than threshold) and A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell) defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the
requirements stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.66.1-1, Tables A.8.16.66.1-2 and A.8.16.66.1-3 below. It is indicated to the UE in
the measurement control information that event-triggered reporting with Events A1 (for only SCell1 i.e. cell2), A2 (PCell and
SCells) and A6 is used. The test consists of three successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. During T1
the UE shall not have any information on cell 6. At the beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 6 is increased to the same
level as for cell 5, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6. Also, at the beginning of T2 the
transmission power of cell 2 is increased to the same level as for cell 1, which shall result in reporting of Event A1. At the
beginning of T3 the transmission powers of cells 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are reduced below a threshold value and this shall result in
reporting of Event A2 for Cell 1, for Cell 2, for Cell 3, for Cell 4 and for Cell 5.

A.8.16.67 5 DL FDD-TDD with PCell in FDD CA activation and deactivation of


Unknown SCell in non-DRX

A.8.16.67.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in section 7.7
for UE configured with four downlink SCells, when the SCell is unknown by the UE at the time of activation and PCell is in FDD.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.67.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.67.1-2 and A.8.16.67.1-3 below. The
test consists of three successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are five carriers, each with one
cell. Cell 1, Cell 3, Cell 4 and Cell5 have constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to
Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC), deactivated Cell 3 (SCell2) on radio channel 3 (SCC2), deactivated Cell 4 (SCell3) on
radio channel 4 (SCC3) and deactivated Cell 5 (SCell4) on radio channel 5 (SCC4) but is not aware of Cell 2 (SCell1) on radio
channel 2 (SCC1). The UE is only monitoring PCC, SCC2, SCC3 and SCC4. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in PCell
throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the SCell1 becomes configured on SCC1. During T1 SCell1 is
powered off and the UE is not aware of SCell1.

A MAC message for activation of SCell1 is sent by the test equipment 100ms after the RRC message, in a subframe # denoted m
which is an even number. The point in time at which the MAC message for activation of SCell1 is received at the UE antenna
connector defines the start of time period T2. Immediately at beginning of T2 transmission power of SCell1 is increased to same
level as for PCell. The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of SCell2 in a subframe (m+10), a MAC message for
activation of SCell3 in subframe (m+20), and a MAC message for activation of SCell4 in a subframe (m+30) during activation of
SCell1. The UE shall be able to report valid CSI for the activated SCell1 at latest in subframe (m+49). The UE shall start reporting
CSI for SCell1 in subframe (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until the SCell activation has been completed. Any
PCell interruption due to activation of SCells shall not occur outside subframes (m+5) to (m+9), (m+15) to (m+19), (m+25) to
(m+29), and (m+35) to (m+39).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of SCell1, sent from the test equipment to the UE in a subframe #
denoted n, is received at the UE antenna connector. The test equipment sends a MAC message for deactivation of the SCell2 in
subframe (n+10), a MAC message for deactivation of the SCell3 in subframe (n+20), and a MAC message for deactivation of the
SCell4 in subframe (n+30). The UE shall carry out deactivation of SCell1 at latest in subframe (n+8), and any PCell interruption
due to the deactivation of SCells shall not occur outside subframes (n+5) to (n+9), (n+15) to (n+19), (n+25) to (n+29), and (n+35)
to (n+39).

1106
Release 15 1107 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation and deactivation of SCell1, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when SCell1 activation command is sent
until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when SCell1 deactivation command is
sent until CQI reporting for SCell1 is discontinued.

A.8.16.67.2 Test Requirements


During T2 the UE shall send the first CSI report for SCell1 in a subframe (m+8), or in a subframe (m+10) if the subframe (m+8)
was subject to interruption. Whether CSI report in subframe (m+8) was interrupted or not is checked by monitoring ACK/NACK
sent in PCell in subframe (m+8).

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell1 with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+49).

During T3 the UE shall stop sending CSI reports for SCell1 at latest in a subframe (n+8).

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCells activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+9), outside the
subframes (m+15) to (m+19), outside the subframes (m+25) to (m+29), and outside the subframes (m+35) to (m+39).

During T3 interruption of PCell during SCells deactivation shall not happen outside the subframes (n+5) to (n+9), outside the
subframes (n+15) to (n+19), outside the subframes (n+25) to (n+29), and outside the subframes (n+25) to (n+29).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for intra-band CA and inter-band CA in Section 7.8.2.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay
to be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay during repeated tests
shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: During T2 if there are no uplink resources for reporting the valid CSI in a subframe (m+49) then the UE shall use the
next available uplink resource for reporting the corresponding valid CSI.

A.8.16.68 5 DL FDD-TDD with PCell in TDD CA activation and deactivation of


Unknown SCell in non-DRX

A.8.16.68.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in section 7.7
for UE configured with four downlink SCells, when the SCell is unknown by the UE at the time of activation and PCell is in TDD.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.68.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.68.1-2 and A.8.16.68.1-3 below. The
test consists of three successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are fivecarriers, each with one
cell. Cell 1, Cell 3, Cell 4 and Cell5 have constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to
Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC), deactivated Cell 3 (SCell2) on radio channel 3 (SCC2), deactivated Cell 4 (SCell3) on
radio channel 4 (SCC3) and deactivated Cell 5 (SCell4) on radio channel 5 (SCC4) but is not aware of Cell 2 (SCell1) on radio
channel 2 (SCC1). The UE is only monitoring PCC, SCC2, SCC3 and SCC4. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell
throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which SCell1 becomes configured on SCC1. The UE now starts
monitoring also the SCC1. During T1 SCell1 is powered off and the UE is not aware of SCell1.

A MAC message for activation of SCell1 is sent by the test equipment 100ms after the RRC message, in a subframe # denoted m
which is 4 or 9. The point in time at which the MAC message for activation of SCell1 is received at the UE antenna connector
defines the start of time period T2. Immediately at beginning of T2 transmission power of SCell1 is increased to same level as for
PCell. Immediately at beginning of T2 transmission power of SCell1 is increased to same level as for PCell. The test equipment
sends a MAC message for activation of SCell2, SCell3 and SCell4 in subframe (m+15) during activation of SCell1. The UE shall
be able to report valid CSI for the activated SCell1 at latest in a subframe (m+49). The UE shall start reporting CSI for SCell1 in
subframe (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until the SCell activation has been completed. Any PCell interruption
due to activation of SCells shall not occur outside subframes (m+5) to (m+11) and (m+20) to (m+26).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of SCell1, sent from the test equipment to the UE in a subframe #
denoted n, where n is 4 or 9, is received at the UE antenna connector. The test equipment sends a MAC message for deactivation of
the SCell2 in subframe (n+15), a MAC message for deactivation of the SCell3 in subframe (n+30), and a MAC message for
deactivation of the SCell4 in subframe (n+45). The UE shall carry out deactivation of SCell1 at latest in subframe (n+8), and any
PCell interruption due to the deactivation of SCells shall not occur outside subframes (n+5) to (n+11), (n+20) to (n+26), (n+35) to
(n+41) and (n+50) to (n+56).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation and deactivation of SCell1, respectively.

1111
Release 15 1112 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when SCell1 activation command is sent
until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when SCell1 deactivation command is
sent until CQI reporting for SCell1 is discontinued.

A.8.16.68.2 Test Requirements


During T2 the UE shall send the first CSI report for SCell1 in a subframe (m+8,) or in a subframe (m+9) if the subframe (m+8) was
subject to interruption. Whether CSI report in subframe (m+8) was interrupted or not is checked by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell in subframe (m+8).

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell1 with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+49).

During T3 the UE shall stop sending CSI reports for SCell at latest in a subframe (n+8).

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCells activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+11) and outside the
subframes (m+20) to (m+26).

During T3 interruption of PCell during SCells deactivation shall not happen outside the subframes (n+5) to (n+11), outside the
subframes (n+20) to (n+26), outside the subframes (n+35) to (n+41), and outside the subframes (n+50) to (n+56).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for intra-band CA and inter-band CA in Section 7.8.2.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay
to be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay during repeated tests
shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: During T2 if there are no uplink resources for reporting the valid CSI in a subframe (m+49) then the UE shall use the
next available uplink resource for reporting the corresponding valid CSI.

A.8.16.69 5 DL FDD CA activation and deactivation of unknown SCell in non-DRX

A.8.16.69.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in section 7.7
for UE configured with five downlink SCells, when the SCell is unknown by the UE at the time of activation and PCell is in FDD.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.69.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.69.1-2 below. The test consists of
three successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are five carriers, each with one cell. Cell 1, Cell
3, Cell 4, and Cell 5 have constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell1 (PCell) on
radio channel 1 (PCC), Cell 3 (deactivated SCell2) on radio channel 3 (SCC2), Cell4 (deactivated SCell3) on radio channel 4
(SCC3) and Cell5 (deactivated SCell4) on radio channel 5 (SCC4) but is not aware of Cell2 (SCell1) on radio channel 2 (SCC1).
The UE is only monitoring the PCC, SCC2, SCC3 and SCC4. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell throughout the
whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the Cell 2 (SCell1) becomes configured on radio channel 2
(SCC1). During T1 the signal level of Cell 2 (SCell1) is powered off and UE is not aware of Cell 2 (SCell1).

A MAC message for activation of the SCell1 is sent by the test equipment 100ms after the RRC message, in a subframe # denoted
m which is an even number. The point in time at which the MAC message for activation of Cell 2 (SCell1) is received at the UE
antenna connector defines the start of time period T2. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of Cell 2 (SCell1) is
increased to same level as for Cell 1 (PCell). The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of Cell 3 (SCell2), Cell4
(SCell 3) and Cell5 (SCell 4) in subframe (m+10), subframe (m+20) and subframe (m+30) respectivity. Since UE received SCell2
activation command during activation of SCell1, the UE shall be able to report valid CSIs for the activated SCell1 at latest in
subframe (m+49) provided the SCell1 can be successfully detected on the first attempt. The UE shall start reporting CSI in
subframe (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until the SCell activation has been completed. Any PCell interruption
due to activation of SCells shall occur in the subframes (m+5) to (m+9), (m+15) to (m+19), (m+25) to (m+29) and (m+35) to
(m+39).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of Cell 2 (SCell1), sent from the test equipment to the UE in a
subframe # denoted n, is received at the UE antenna connector. The test equipment sends a MAC message for deactivation of the
Cell 3 (SCell2), Cell4 (SCell3) and Cell5 (SCell4) in subframe (n+10), subframe (n+20), subframe (n+30), respectivity. The UE
shall carry out deactivation of Cell 2 (SCell1) at latest in subframe (n+8), and any PCell interruption due to the deactivation of
SCells shall occur in the subframes (n+5) to (n+9), (n+15) to (n+19), (n+25) to (n+29) and (n+35) to (n+39).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation and deactivation of SCells, respectively.

A.8.16.69.2 Test Requirements


During T2, the UE shall send the first CSI report for SCell1 in a subframe (m+8), or in a subframe (m+10) if the subframe (m+8)
was subject to interruption. Whether CSI report in subframe (m+8) was interrupted or not is checked by monitoring ACK/NACK
sent in PCell in subframe (m+8).

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell1 with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+49).

During T3 the UE shall stop sending CSI reports for SCell1 at latest in a subframe (n+8).

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCells activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+9), outside the
subframes (m+15) to (m+19), outside the subframes (m+25) to (m+29) and outside the subframes (m+35) to (m+39).

During T3 interruption of PCell during SCells deactivation shall not happen outside the subframes (n+5) to (n+9), outside the
subframes (n+15) to (n+19), outside the subframes (n+25) to (n+29) and outside the subframes (n+35) to (n+39).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for intra-band CA and inter-band CA in Section 7.8.2.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay
to be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay during repeated tests
shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: During T2 if there are no uplink resources for reporting the valid CSI in a subframe (m+49) then the UE shall use the
next available uplink resource for reporting the corresponding valid CSI.

A.8.16.70 5 DL TDD CA activation and deactivation of unknown SCell in non-DRX

A.8.16.70.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in clause 7.7 for
5DL TDD carrier aggregation, when the SCells are unknown by the UE at the time of activation.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.70.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.70.1-2 below. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are five carriers, each with one cell. Cell 1, Cell 3, Cell
4, and Cell 5 have constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio
channel 1 (PCC), Cell 3 (deactivated SCell2) on radio channel 3 (SCC2), Cell 4 (deactivated SCell3) on radio channel 4 (SCC3)
and Cell 5 (deactivated SCell4) on radio channel 5 (SCC4), but is not aware of Cell 2 (SCell1) on radio channel 2 (SCC1). The UE
is only monitoring the PCC, SCC2, SCC3 and SCC4. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole
test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the Cell 2 (SCell 1) becomes configured on radio channel 2
(SCC1). During T1 the signal level of Cell 2 (SCell 1) is powered off and UE is not aware of Cell 2 (SCell1).

A MAC message for activation of the SCell1 is sent by the test equipment 100ms after the RRC message, in a subframe # denoted
m, where m is 4 or 9. The point in time at which the MAC message for activation of Cell 2 (SCell1) is received at the UE antenna
connector defines the start of time period T2. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of Cell 2 (SCell1) is
increased to same level as for Cell 1 (PCell). The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of Cell 3 (SCell2), Cell 4
(SCell3) and Cell 5 (SCell4) in subframe (m+15). Since UE received SCell2 activation command during activation of SCell1, the
UE shall be able to report valid CSIs for the activated SCell1 at latest in subframe (m+49) provided the SCell1 can be successfully
detected on the first attempt. The UE shall start reporting CSI in subframe (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until
the SCell activation has been completed. Any PCell interruption due to activation of SCells shall occur in the subframes (m+5) to
(m+11) and (m+20) to (m+26).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of Cell 2 (SCell1), sent from the test equipment to the UE in a
subframe # denoted n, where n is 4 or 9, is received at the UE antenna connector. The test equipment sends a MAC message for
1120
Release 15 1121 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

deactivation of the Cell 3 (SCell2), Cell 4 (SCell3) and Cell 5 (SCell4) in subframe (n+15), (n+30) and (n+45), respectivity. The
UE shall carry out deactivation of Cell 2 (SCell1) at latest in subframe (n+8), and any PCell interruption due to the deactivation of
SCells shall occur in the subframes (n+5) to (n+11), (n+20) to (n+26), (n+35) to (n+41) and (n+50) to (n+56).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell during activation and deactivation of SCells, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the Cell 2 (SCell1) activation
command is sent until a CSI reports with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the Cell 2 (SCell1) deactivation
command is sent until CQI reporting for SCell1 is discontinued.

A.8.16.70.2 Test Requirements


During T2 the UE shall send the first CSI report for SCell1 in a subframe (m+8), or in a subframe (m+9) if the subframe (m+8) was
subject to interruption, or in a subframe (m+13) if the subframe (m+8) and (m+9) were subject to interruption when an intra-band
SCell is activated. Whether CSI report in subframe (m+8) and/or (m+9) was interrupted or not is checked by monitoring
ACK/NACK sent in PCell in subframe (m+8) and/or (m+9).

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell1 with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+49).

During T3 the UE shall stop sending CSI reports for SCell1 at latest in subframe (n+8).

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCells activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+11) and outside the
subframes (m+20) to (m+26).

During T3 interruption of PCell during SCells deactivation shall not happen outside the subframes (n+5) to (n+11), outside the
subframes (n+20) to (n+26), outside the subframes (n+35) to (n+41) and outside the subframes (n+50) to (n+56).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for intra-band CA and inter-band CA in Section 7.8.2.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay
to be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation delay during repeated tests
shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: During T2 if there are no uplink resources for reporting the valid CSI in a subframe (m+49) then the UE shall use the
next available uplink resource for reporting the corresponding valid CSI.

A.8.16.71 5 DL FDD CA Event Triggered Reporting with Deactivated SCells in Non-


DRX

A.8.16.71.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects events A1 (Serving cell becomes better than threshold), A2
(Serving cell becomes worse than threshold) and A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell) defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the
requirements stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1.

In this test case there are 6 cells. Cell 1 is the PCell on the FDD PCC F1. Cell 2 is the configured and deactivated SCell on the FDD
SCC F2. Cell 3 is the configured and deactivated SCell on the FDD SCC F3. Cell 4 is the configured and deactivated SCell on the
FDD SCC F4. Cell 5 is the configured and deactivated SCell on the FDD SCC F5, and cell 6 is the neighbor cell on the FDD SCC
F5.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.71.1-1 and A.8.16.71.1-2 below. It is indicated to the UE in the measurement control
information that event-triggered reporting with Events A1 (cell2), A2 (PCell and SCells) and A6 are used. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. During T1 the UE shall not have any information on cell 6.
At the beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 6 is increased to the same level as for cell 5, and due to usage of an offset
this shall result in reporting of Event A6. Also, at the beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 2 is increased to the same
level as for cell 1, which shall result in reporting of Event A1. At the beginning of T3 the transmission powers of cells 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

1124
Release 15 1125 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

and 6 are reduced below a threshold value and this shall result in reporting of Event A2 for Cell 1, for Cell 2, for Cell3, for Cell 4
and for Cell 5.

A.8.16.72 5 DL TDD CA Event Triggered Reporting with Deactivated SCells in Non-


DRX

A.8.16.72.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects events A1 (Serving cell becomes better than threshold), A2
(Serving cell becomes worse than threshold) and A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell) defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the
requirements stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1.

In this test case there are 6 cells. Cell 1 is the PCell on the TDD PCC F1. Cell 2 is the configured and deactivated SCell on the
TDD SCC F2. Cell 3 is the configured and deactivated SCell on the TDD SCC F3. Cell 4 is the configured and deactivated SCell
on the TDD SCC F4.Cell 5 is the configured and deactivated SCell on the TDD SCC F5, and cell 6 is the neighbor cell on the TDD
SCC F5.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.72.1-1 and A.8.16.72.1-2 below. It is indicated to the UE in the measurement control
information that event-triggered reporting with Events A1 (cell2), A2 (PCell and SCells) and A6 are used. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. During T1 the UE shall not have any information on cell 6.
At the beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 6 is increased to the same level as for cell 5, and due to usage of an offset
this shall result in reporting of Event A6. Also, at the beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 2 is increased to the same
level as for cell 1, which shall result in reporting of Event A1. At the beginning of T3 the transmission powers of cells 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
and 6 are reduced below a threshold value and this shall result in reporting of Event A2 for Cell 1, for Cell 2, for Cell3, for Cell4
and for Cell 5.

A.8.16.73 5 DL FDD CA Event Triggered Reporting on Deactivated SCell


with PCell and SCell Interruptions in Non-DRX

A.8.16.73.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects event A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell)
defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the requirements stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1 while at the same time fulfilling the
requirement on interruption rate.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.16.73.1-1, A.8.16.73.1-2 and A.8.16.73.1-2 below. In the test there are six
cells: Cell 1, Cell 2, Cell 3, Cell 4, Cell 5 and Cell 6. Cell 1 is PCell on the FDD primary component (RF Channel 1),
Cell 2 is SCell on the FDD secondary component (RF Channel 2), Cell 3 is SCell on the FDD secondary component
(RF Channel 3), Cell 4 is SCell on the FDD secondary component (RF Channel 4) and Cell 5 is SCell on the FDD
secondary component (RF Channel 5) and Cell 6 is the neighbour cell on the FDD secondary component (RF Channel
5). It is indicated to the UE in the measurement control information that event-triggered reporting with Event A6 is
used. The test consists of four successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2, T3 and T4, respectively. During T1 and
T2, Cell2, Cell3, Cell4 and Cell5 are deactivated. During T1 the UE shall not have any information of Cell 6.
Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of Cell 6 is increased to same level as for Cell 3, and due to
usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6.

At the beginning of T3, the transmission power of Cell 6 is turned off, and the test equipment sends a MAC message for
activation of Cell 2 to UE but Cell3, Cell4 and Cell5 remains deactivated. Immediately at beginning of T4 the
transmission power of Cell 6 is increased to same level as for Cell 3, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in
reporting of Event A6. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test and continuously
scheduled in Cell2 during T4.

A.8.16.73.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall send one Event A6 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 12.8s
(20×scellMeasCycle) from the beginning of time period T2.

The UE shall send one Event A6 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 3.2s
(5×scellMeasCycle) from the beginning of time period T4.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The UE shall be scheduled on PCell continuously throughout the test. From the start of T1 until the measurement report
is received during T2, at least 99.5% of all expected ACK/NACKs shall be transmitted by the UE.

The UE shall be scheduled on Cell2 continuously from the beginning of T4 to the end. From the start of T4 until the
measurement report is received during T4, at least 99.5% of all expected ACK/NACKs shall be transmitted by the UE.

For a test to be considered successful requirements on both event detection and percentage of transmitted ACK/NACKs
have to be fulfilled simultaneously.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to 2xTTIDCCH higher than the measurement
reporting delays above because of TTI insertion uncertainty of the measurement report in DCCH.

A.8.16.74 5 DL TDD CA Event Triggered Reporting on Deactivated SCell


with PCell and SCell Interruptions in Non-DRX

A.8.16.74.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects event A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell)
defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the requirements stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1 while at the same time fulfilling the
requirement on interruption rate.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.16.74.1-1, A.8.16.74.1-2 and A.8.16.74.1-3 below. In the test there are six
cells: Cell 1, Cell 2, Cell 3, Cell 4, Cell 5 and Cell 6. Cell 1 is PCell on the TDD primary component (RF Channel 1),
Cell 2 is SCell on the TDD secondary component (RF Channel 2), Cell 3 is SCell on the TDD secondary component
(RF Channel 3), Cell 4 is SCell on the TDD secondary component (RF Channel 4) and Cell 5 is SCell on the TDD
secondary component (RF Channel 5) and Cell 6 is the neighbour cell on the TDD secondary component (RF Channel
5). It is indicated to the UE in the measurement control information that event-triggered reporting with Event A6 is
used. The test consists of four successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2, T3 and T4, respectively. During T1 and
T2, Cell2, Cell3, Cell4 and Cell5 are deactivated. During T1 the UE shall not have any information of Cell 6.
Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of Cell 6 is increased to same level as for Cell 3, and due to
usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6.

At the beginning of T3, the transmission power of Cell 6 is turned off, and the test equipment sends a MAC message for
activation of Cell 2 to UE but Cell3, Cell4 and Cell5 remains deactivated. Immediately at beginning of T4 the
transmission power of Cell 6 is increased to same level as for Cell 3, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in
reporting of Event A6. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test and continuously
scheduled in Cell2 during T4.

For a test to be considered successful requirements on both event detection and percentage of transmitted ACK/NACKs
have to be fulfilled simultaneously.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to 2xTTIDCCH higher than the measurement
reporting delays above because of TTI insertion uncertainty of the measurement report in DCCH.

A.8.16.75 5 DL FDD-TDD with PCell in FDD CA activation and deactivation


of known SCell in non-DRX

A.8.16.75.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in
section 7.7 for UE configured with four downlink SCells, when the SCell is known by the UE at the time of activation
and PCell is in FDD.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.75.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.75.1-2 and A.8.16.75.1-3
below. The test consists of three successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are five
carriers, each with one cell. All cells have constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is
connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC), deactivated Cell 3 (SCell2) on radio channel 3 (SCC2),
deactivated Cell 4 (SCell3) on radio channel 4 (SCC3) and deactivated Cell 5 (SCell4) on radio channel 5 (SCC4) but is
not aware of Cell 2 (SCell1) on radio channel 2 (SCC1). The UE is only monitoring PCC, SCC2, SCC3 and SCC4. The
UE shall be continuously scheduled in PCell throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the SCell1 becomes configured on SCC1. The UE
now starts monitoring also SCC1. The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of SCell1.

The point in time at which the MAC message is received at the UE antenna connector, in a subframe # denoted m which
is an even number, defines the start of time period T2. The UE receives a MAC message for activation of SCell2 in a
subframe (m+10), a MAC message for activation of SCell3 in subframe (m+20), and a MAC message for activation of
SCell4 in a subframe (m+30) during activation of SCell1. The UE shall be able to report valid CSI for the activated
SCell1 at latest in subframe (m+39). The UE shall start reporting CSI for SCell1 in subframe (m+8) and shall report
CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until the SCell activation has been completed. Any PCell interruption due to activation of
SCells shall not occur outside subframes (m+5) to (m+9), (m+15) to (m+19), (m+25) to (m+29), and (m+35) to (m+39).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of SCell1, sent from the test equipment to the UE in a
subframe # denoted n, is received at the UE antenna connector. The test equipment sends a MAC message for
deactivation of the SCell2 in subframe (n+10), a MAC message for deactivation of the SCell3 in subframe (n+20), and
a MAC message for deactivation of the SCell4 in subframe (n+30). The UE shall carry out deactivation of the SCell1 at
latest in subframe (n+8), and any PCell interruption due to the deactivation of SCells shall not occur outside subframes
(n+5) to (n+9), (n+15) to (n+19), (n+25) to (n+29), and (n+35) to (n+39).

1146
Release 15 1147 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK
sent in PCell during activation and deactivation of SCell1, respectively.

A.8.16.75.2 Test Requirements


During T2 the UE shall send the first CSI report for SCell1 in a subframe (m+8), or in a subframe (m+10) if the
subframe (m+8) was subject to interruption. Whether CSI report in subframe (m+8) was interrupted or not is checked
by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in PCell in subframe (m+8).

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell1 with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+39).

During T3 the UE shall stop sending CSI reports for SCell1 at latest in a subframe (n+8).

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCells activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+9),
outside the subframes (m+15) to (m+19), outside the subframes (m+25) to (m+29), and outside the subframes (m+35)
to (m+39).

During T3 interruption of PCell during SCells deactivation shall not happen outside the subframes (n+5) to (n+9),
outside the subframes (n+15) to (n+19), outside the subframes (n+25) to (n+29), and outside the subframes (n+25) to
(n+29).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for intra-band CA and inter-band CA in Section
7.8.2.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1
deactivation delay to be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation
delay during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: During T2 if there are no uplink resources for reporting the valid CSI in a subframe (m+39) then the UE
shall use the next available uplink resource for reporting the corresponding valid CSI.

A.8.16.76 5 DL FDD-TDD with PCell in TDD CA activation and deactivation


of known SCell in non-DRX

A.8.16.76.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in
section 7.7 for UE configured with four downlink SCells, when the SCell is known by the UE at the time of activation
and PCell is in TDD.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.76.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.76.1-2 and A.8.16.76.1-3
below. The test consists of three successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are
fivecarriers, each with one cell. All cells have constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is
connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC), deactivated Cell 3 (SCell2) on radio channel 3 (SCC2),
deactivated Cell 4 (SCell3) on radio channel 4 (SCC3) and deactivated Cell 5 (SCell4) on radio channel 5 (SCC4) but is
not aware of Cell 2 (SCell1) on radio channel 2 (SCC1). The UE is only monitoring PCC, SCC2, SCC3 and SCC4. The
UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which SCell1 becomes configured on SCC1. The UE now
starts monitoring also the SCC1. The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of SCell1.

The point in time at which the MAC message is received at the UE antenna connector, in a subframe # denoted m,
where m is 4 or 9, defines the start of time period T2. The UE receives a MAC message for activation of the SCell 2,
SCell3 and SCell4 in a subframe (m+15) during activation of SCell1. The UE shall be able to report valid CSI for the
activated SCell1 at latest in a subframe (m+39). The UE shall start reporting CSI for SCell1 in subframe (m+8) and
shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until the SCell activation has been completed. Any PCell interruption due to
activation of SCells shall not occur outside subframes (m+5) to (m+11) and (m+20) to (m+26).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of SCell1, sent from the test equipment to the UE in a
subframe # denoted n, where n is 4 or 9, is received at the UE antenna connector. The test equipment sends a MAC
message for deactivation of the SCell2 in subframe (n+15), a MAC message for deactivation of the SCell3 in subframe
(n+30), and a MAC message for deactivation of the SCell4 in subframe (n+45). The UE shall carry out deactivation of
SCell1 at latest in subframe (n+8), and any PCell interruption due to the deactivation of SCells shall not occur outside
subframes (n+5) to (n+11), (n+20) to (n+26), (n+35) to (n+41) and (n+50) to (n+56).

1152
Release 15 1153 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK
sent in PCell during activation and deactivation of SCell1, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when SCell1 activation
command is sent until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when SCell1 deactivation
command is sent until CQI reporting for SCell1 is discontinued.

A.8.16.77 5 DL FDD CA activation and deactivation of know SCell in non-


DRX

A.8.16.77.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in
section 7.7 for UE configured with four downlink SCells, when the SCell is known by the UE at the time of activation
and PCell is in FDD.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.77.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.77.1-2 below. The test
consists of three successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are five carriers, each with
one cell. All cells have constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell1
(PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC), Cell 3 (deactivated SCell2) on radio channel 3 (SCC2), Cell4 (deactivated SCell3) on
radio channel 4 (SCC3) and Cell5 (deactivated SCell4) on radio channel 5 (SCC4) but is not aware of Cell2 (SCell1) on
radio channel 2 (SCC1). The UE is only monitoring the PCC, SCC2, SCC3 and SCC4. The UE shall be continuously
scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the SCell1 (Cell2) becomes configured on radio
channel 2 (SCC1). The UE now starts monitoring also the SCC1. The test equipment sends a MAC message for
activation of the SCell1.

The point in time at which the MAC message is received at the UE antenna connector, in a subframe #denoted m which
is an even number, defines the start of time period T2. At the beginning of T2 the test equipment sends a MAC message
for activation of the SCell1. The UE receives the activation command for SCell2, SCell3 and SCell4 in subframes
(m+10), (m+20) and (m+30) during activation of the SCell1. The UE shall be able to report valid CSIs for the activated
SCell at latest in a subframe (m+39). The UE shall start reporting CSI for SCell1 in subframe in (m+8) and shall report
CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until the subframe activation has been completed. Any PCell interruption due to activation
of SCells shall occur in the subframe (m+5) to (m+9), (m+15) to (m+19), (m+25) to (m+29) and (m+35) to (m+39).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of SCell1, send from the test equipment to the UE in a
subframe #denoted n, is received at the UE antenna connector. The test equipment sends a MAC message for
deactivation of the SCell2,SCell3 and SCell4 in subframe (n+10), (n+20) and (n+30). The UE shall carry out
deactivation of the SCell1 at latest in subframe (n+8), and any interruption due to the deactivation of SCells shall occur
in the subframe (n+5) to (n+9), (n+15) to (n+19), (n+25) to (n+29) and (n+35) to (n+39).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK
sent in PCell during activation and deactivation of SCell1, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell1 activation
command is sent until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell1 deactivation
command is sent until CQI reporting for SCell1 is discontinued.

A.8.16.77.2 Test Requirements


During T2, the UE shall send the first CSI report for SCell1 in a subframe (m+8), or in a subframe (m+10) if the
subframe (m+8) was subject to interruption. Whether CSI report in subframe (m+8) was interrupted or not is checked
by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in PCell in subframe (m+8).

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell1 with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+39).

During T3 the UE shall stop sending CSI reports for SCell1 at latest in a subframe (n+8).

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCells activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+9),
outside the subframes (m+15) to (m+19), outside the subframes (m+25) to (m+29) and outside the subframes (m+35) to
(m+39).

During T3 interruption of PCell during SCells deactivation shall not happen outside the subframes (n+5) to (n+9),
outside the subframes (n+15) to (n+19), outside the subframes (n+25) to (n+29) and outside the subframes (n+35) to
(n+39).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for intra-band CA and inter-band CA in Section
7.8.2.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1
deactivation delay to be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1 deactivation
delay during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: During T2 if there are no uplink resources for reporting the valid CSI in a subframe (m+39) then the UE
shall use the next available uplink resource for reporting the corresponding valid CSI.

A.8.16.78 5 DL TDD CA activation and deactivation of know SCell in non-


DRX

A.8.16.78.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements stated in
clause 7.7 for 5DL TDD carrier aggregation, when the SCells are known by the UE at the time of activation.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.16.78.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.16.78.1-2 below. The test
consists of three successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are five carriers, each with
one cell. All cells have constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1
(PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC), Cell 3 (deactivated SCell2) on radio channel 3 (SCC2), Cell 4 (deactivated SCell3)
on radio channel 4 (SCC3) and Cell 5 (deactivated SCell4) on radio channel 5 (SCC4), but is not aware of Cell 2
(SCell1) on radio channel 2 (SCC1). The UE is only monitoring the PCC, SCC2, SCC3 and SCC4. The UE shall be
continuously scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the SCell1 (Cell 2) becomes configured on radio
channel 2 (SCC1). The UE now starts monitoring also the SCC1. The test equipment sends a MAC message for
activation of the SCell1.

The point in time at which the MAC message is received at the UE antenna connector, in a subframe # denoted m,
where m is 4 or 9, defines the start of time period T2. At the beginning of T2 the test equipment sends a MAC message
for activation of the SCell1. The UE receives the SCell2, SCell3 and SCell4 activation command in a subframe (m+15),
during activation of the SCell1. The UE shall be able to report valid CSIs for the activated SCell1 at latest in a subframe

1162
Release 15 1163 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

(m+39). The UE shall start reporting CSI for SCell1 in subframe (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-range)
until the SCell activation has been completed. Any PCell interruption due to activation of SCells shall occur in the
subframes (m+5) to (m+12) and (m+20) to (m+26).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of SCell1, sent from the test equipment to the UE, in a
subframe # denoted n, where n is 4 or 9, is received at the UE antenna connector. The test equipment sends MAC
message for deactivation of the SCell2 in subframe (n+15), MAC massage for deactivation of the SCell3 in subframe
(n+30) and MAC massage for deactivation of the SCell3 in subframe (n+45). The UE shall carry out deactivation of the
SCell1 at latest in subframe (n+8), and any PCell interruption due to the deactivation of SCells shall occur in the
subframes (n+5) to (n+12), (n+20) to (n+26), (n+35) to (n+41) and (n+50) to (n+56).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK
sent in PCell during activation and deactivation of SCells, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell1 activation
command is sent until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell1 deactivation
command is sent until CQI reporting for SCell1 is discontinued.

A.8.16.78.2 Test Requirements


During T2 the UE shall send the first CSI report for SCell1 in a subframe (m+8), or in a subframe (m+9) if the subframe
(m+8) was subject to interruption, or in a subframe (m+13) if the subframe (m+8) and (m+9) were subject to

1164
Release 15 1165 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

interruption when an intra-band SCell is activated. Whether CSI report in subframe (m+8) and/or (m+9) was interrupted
or not is checked by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in PCell in subframe (m+8) and/or (m+9).

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell1 with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+39).

During T3 the UE shall stop sending CSI reports for SCell1 at latest in subframe (n+8).

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCells activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+12) and
outside the subframes (m+20) to (m+26).

During T3 interruption of PCell during SCells deactivation shall not happen outside the subframes (n+5) to (n+11),
outside the subframes (n+20) to (n+26), outside the subframes (n+35) to (n+41) and outside the subframes (n+50) to
(n+56).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for intra-band CA and inter-band CA in Section
7.8.2.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1
deactivation delay to be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed SCell1 activation delay and SCell1
deactivation delay during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: During T2 if there are no uplink resources for reporting the valid CSI in a subframe (m+39) then the UE
shall use the next available uplink resource for reporting the corresponding valid CSI.

A.8.16.79 E-UTRAN PCell in FDD FDD-TDD 4 DL CA Event Triggered


Reporting on Deactivated SCell with PCell and SCell Interruptions in
Non-DRX

A.8.16.79.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects event A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell)
defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the requirements stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1 while at the same time fulfilling the
requirement on interruption rate.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.16.79.1-1, A.8.16.79.1-2 and A.8.16.79.1-3 below. In the test there are five
cells: Cell 1, Cell 2, Cell 3, Cell 4 and Cell 5. Cell 1 is PCell on the FDD primary component (RF Channel 1), Cell 2 is
SCell on the TDD secondary component (RF Channel 2), Cell 3 is SCell on the TDD secondary component (RF
Channel 3), Cell 4 is SCell on the TDD secondary component (RF Channel 4) and Cell 5 is the neighbour cell on the
TDD secondary component (RF Channel 4). It is indicated to the UE in the measurement control information that event-
triggered reporting with Event A6 is used. The test consists of four successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2, T3
and T4, respectively. During T1 and T2, Cell2, Cell3 and Cell4 are deactivated. During T1 the UE shall not have any
information of Cell 5. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of Cell 5 is increased to same level as for
Cell 3, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6.

At the beginning of T3, the transmission power of Cell 5 is turned off, and the test equipment sends a MAC message for
activation of Cell 2 to UE but Cell3 and Cell4 remains deactivated. Immediately at beginning of T4 the transmission
power of Cell 5 is increased to same level as for Cell 3, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of
Event A6. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test and continuously scheduled in
Cell2 during T4.

A.8.16.79.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall send one Event A6 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 12.8s
(20×scellMeasCycle) from the beginning of time period T2.

The UE shall send one Event A6 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 3.2s
(5×scellMeasCycle) from the beginning of time period T4.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The UE shall be scheduled on PCell continuously throughout the test. From the start of T1 until the measurement report
is received during T2, at least 99.5% of all expected ACK/NACKs shall be transmitted by the UE.

The UE shall be scheduled on Cell2 continuously from the beginning of T4 to the end. From the start of T4 until the
measurement report is received during T4, at least 99.5% of all expected ACK/NACKs shall be transmitted by the UE.

For a test to be considered successful requirements on both event detection and percentage of transmitted ACK/NACKs
have to be fulfilled simultaneously.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to 2xTTIDCCH higher than the measurement
reporting delays above because of TTI insertion uncertainty of the measurement report in DCCH.

A.8.16.80 E-UTRAN PCell in TDD TDD-FDD 4 DL CA Event Triggered


Reporting on Deactivated SCell with PCell and SCell Interruptions in
Non-DRX

A.8.16.80.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects event A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell)
defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the requirements stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1 while at the same time fulfilling the
requirement on interruption rate.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.16.80.1-1, A.8.16.80.1-2 and A.8.16.80.1-3 below. In the test there are five
cells: Cell 1, Cell 2, Cell 3, Cell 4and Cell 5. Cell 1 is PCell on the TDD primary component (RF Channel 1), Cell 2 is
SCell on the FDD secondary component (RF Channel 2), Cell 3 is SCell on the FDD secondary component (RF
Channel 3), Cell 4 is SCell on the FDD secondary component (RF Channel 4) and Cell 5 is the neighbour cell on the
FDD secondary component (RF Channel 4). It is indicated to the UE in the measurement control information that event-
triggered reporting with Event A6 is used. The test consists of four successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2, T3
and T4, respectively. During T1 and T2, Cell2, Cell3 and Cell4 are deactivated. During T1 the UE shall not have any
information of Cell 5. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of Cell 5 is increased to same level as for
Cell 3, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6.

At the beginning of T3, the transmission power of Cell 5 is turned off, and the test equipment sends a MAC message for
activation of Cell 2 to UE but Cell3 and Cell4 remains deactivated. Immediately at beginning of T4 the transmission
power of Cell 5 is increased to same level as for Cell 3, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of
Event A6. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test and continuously scheduled in
Cell2 during T4.

A.8.16.81 E-UTRAN PCell in FDD FDD-TDD 5 DL CA Event Triggered


Reporting on Deactivated SCell with PCell and SCell Interruptions in
Non-DRX

A.8.16.81.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects event A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell)
defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the requirements stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1 while at the same time fulfilling the
requirement on interruption rate.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.16.81.1-1, A.8.16.81.1-2 and A.8.16.81.1-3 below. In the test there are five
cells: Cell 1, Cell 2, Cell 3, Cell 4, Cell 5 and Cell 6. Cell 1 is PCell on the FDD primary component (RF Channel 1),
Cell 2 is SCell on the TDD secondary component (RF Channel 2), Cell 3 is SCell on the TDD secondary component
(RF Channel 3), Cell 4 is SCell on the TDD secondary component (RF Channel 4), Cell 5 is SCell on the TDD
secondary component (RF Channel 5) and Cell 6 is the neighbour cell on the TDD secondary component (RF Channel
4). It is indicated to the UE in the measurement control information that event-triggered reporting with Event A6 is
used. The test consists of four successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2, T3 and T4, respectively. During T1 and
T2, Cell2, Cell3, Cell4 and Cell5 are deactivated. During T1 the UE shall not have any information of Cell 6.
Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of Cell 6 is increased to same level as for Cell 5, and due to
usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6.

At the beginning of T3, the transmission power of Cell 6 is turned off, and the test equipment sends a MAC message for
activation of Cell 2 to UE but Cell 3, Cell 4 and Cell5 remains deactivated. Immediately at beginning of T4 the
transmission power of Cell 6 is increased to same level as for Cell 5, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in
reporting of Event A6. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test and continuously
scheduled in Cell2 during T4.

A.8.16.81.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall send one Event A6 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 12.8s
(20×scellMeasCycle) from the beginning of time period T2.

The UE shall send one Event A6 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 3.2s
(5×scellMeasCycle) from the beginning of time period T4.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The UE shall be scheduled on PCell continuously throughout the test. From the start of T1 until the measurement report
is received during T2, at least 99.5% of all expected ACK/NACKs shall be transmitted by the UE.

The UE shall be scheduled on Cell2 continuously from the beginning of T4 to the end. From the start of T4 until the
measurement report is received during T4, at least 99.5% of all expected ACK/NACKs shall be transmitted by the UE.

For a test to be considered successful requirements on both event detection and percentage of transmitted ACK/NACKs
have to be fulfilled simultaneously.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to 2xTTIDCCH higher than the measurement
reporting delays above because of TTI insertion uncertainty of the measurement report in DCCH.

A.8.16.82 E-UTRAN PCell in TDD TDD-FDD 5 DL CA Event Triggered


Reporting on Deactivated SCell with PCell and SCell Interruptions in
Non-DRX

A.8.16.82.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects event A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell)
defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the requirements stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1 while at the same time fulfilling the
requirement on interruption rate.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.16.82.1-1, A.8.16.82.1-2 and A.8.16.82.1-3 below. In the test there are five
cells: Cell 1, Cell 2, Cell 3, Cell 4, Cell 5 and Cell 6. Cell 1 is PCell on the TDD primary component (RF Channel 1),
Cell 2 is SCell on the FDD secondary component (RF Channel 2), Cell 3 is SCell on the FDD secondary component
(RF Channel 3), Cell 4 is SCell on the FDD secondary component (RF Channel 4), Cell 5 is SCell on the FDD
secondary component (RF Channel 5) and Cell 6 is the neighbour cell on the FDD secondary component (RF Channel
4). It is indicated to the UE in the measurement control information that event-triggered reporting with Event A6 is
used. The test consists of four successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2, T3 and T4, respectively. During T1 and
T2, Cell2, Cell3, Cell4 and Cell5 are deactivated. During T1 the UE shall not have any information of Cell 6.
Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of Cell 6 is increased to same level as for Cell 5, and due to
usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6.

At the beginning of T3, the transmission power of Cell 6 is turned off, and the test equipment sends a MAC message for
activation of Cell 2 to UE but Cell3, Cell4 and Cell5 remains deactivated. Immediately at beginning of T4 the
transmission power of Cell 6 is increased to same level as for Cell 5, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in
reporting of Event A6. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test and continuously
scheduled in Cell2 during T4.

A.8.16.82.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall send one Event A6 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 12.8s
(20×scellMeasCycle) from the beginning of time period T2.

The UE shall send one Event A6 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 3.2s
(5×scellMeasCycle) from the beginning of time period T4.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The UE shall be scheduled on PCell continuously throughout the test. From the start of T1 until the measurement report
is received during T2, at least 99.5% of all expected ACK/NACKs shall be transmitted by the UE.

The UE shall be scheduled on Cell2 continuously from the beginning of T4 to the end. From the start of T4 until the
measurement report is received during T4, at least 99.5% of all expected ACK/NACKs shall be transmitted by the UE.

For a test to be considered successful requirements on both event detection and percentage of transmitted ACK/NACKs
have to be fulfilled simultaneously.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to 2xTTIDCCH higher than the measurement
reporting delays above because of TTI insertion uncertainty of the measurement report in DCCH.

A.8.17 RSTD Measurements for E-UTRAN Carrier Aggregation


A.8.17.1 E-UTRAN FDD RSTD measurement reporting delay test case

A.8.17.1.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of the test case is to verify that the RSTD measurements meet the requirements specified in Clause 8.4 in a
synchronized network environment with fading propagation conditions. This test case will verify the measurement
period requirements specified in Clause 8.4.3 for RSTD measurements performed on the secondary component carrier
and also the measurement period requirements for RSTD measurements performed on both the primary and secondary
component carriers specified in Clause 8.4.4.

In the tests, there are two configured component carriers: PCC and SCC, and three synchronous cells: Cell 1, Cell 2 and
Cell 3. Cell 1 is PCell on the PCC, Cell 2 is an active SCell on the SCC, and Cell 3 is a neighbour cell on the SCC. In
all tests, Cell 2 is the OTDOA assistance data reference cell.

The test case includes two tests. Test 1 is designed for the scenario where the UE receives OTDOA assistance data with
cells on SCC, and the UE is expected to report RSTD measurements performed on SCC only. Test 2 is designed for the
scenario where the UE receives OTDOA assistance data with cells on PCC and SCC, and the UE is expected to report
RSTD measurements performed on PCC and on SCC.

Each test consists of three consecutive time intervals, with duration of T1, T2 and T3. Cell 1 is active in T1, T2 and T3,
whilst Cell 2 is active only in T2 and T3, and Cell 3 is active only during T2. The beginning of the time interval T2 shall
be aligned with the first PRS positioning subframe of a positioning occasion in the OTDOA assistance data reference
cell, where the PRS positioning occasion is as defined in Clause 8.1.2.5.1. Cell 1 transmits PRS in T2, while Cell 2
transmits PRS only in T3, and Cell 3 transmits PRS only in T2.

Note: The information on when PRS is muted is conveyed to the UE using PRS muting information.

The OTDOA assistance data as defined in TS 36.355, Clause 6.5.1.1, shall be provided to the UE during T1. The last
TTI containing the OTDOA assistance data shall be provided to the UE T ms before the start of T2, where T = 150
ms is the maximum processing time of the OTDOA assistance data.

The test parameters are as given in Table A.8.17.1.1-1, Table A.8.17.1.1-2, Table A.8.17.1.1-3 and Table A.8.17.1.1-4.

A.8.17.1.2 Test Requirements


The RSTD measurement time fulfils the requirements specified in Clause 8.4.

In Test 1, the UE shall perform and report the RSTD measurements from Cell 2 and Cell 3 within 2560 ms starting from
the beginning of time interval T2.

In Test 2, the UE shall perform and report the RSTD measurements from Cell 1 and Cell 2, and RSTD measurements
from Cell 2 and Cell 3 within 4960 ms starting from the beginning of time interval T2.

The rate of the correct events for each neighbour cell observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%, where the
reported RSTD measurement for each correct event shall be within the RSTD reporting range specified in
Clause 9.1.10.3, i.e., between RSTD_0000 and RSTD_12711.

NOTE: The RSTD measurement times in the tests are derived from the following expression,
 n 
TPRS  M  1  160  ,
M 

where M =8 and n =16 for Test 1, and M =16 and n =16 for Test 2. For Test 1, the M and n
parameters specified in Clause 8.1.2.5.1, Table 8.1.2.5.1-1, under Note 1, which gives the total RSTD
measurement time of 2560 ms for Cell 3 with respect to the reference cell Cell 2. For Test 2, the M and
n parameters are specified in Clause 8.1.2.6.1, Table 8.1.2.6.1-1, under Note 1, which gives the total
RSTD measurement time of 4960 ms for reporting the RSTD measurements of Cell 1 and Cell 3 with
respect to the reference cell Cell 2.

A.8.17.2 E-UTRAN TDD RSTD measurement reporting delay test case

A.8.17.2.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of the test case is to verify that the RSTD measurements meet the requirements specified in Clause 8.4 in a
synchronized network environment with fading propagation conditions. This test case will verify the measurement
period requirements specified in Clause 8.4.3 for RSTD measurements performed on the secondary component carrier
and also the measurement period requirements for RSTD measurements performed on both the primary and secondary
component carriers specified in Clause 8.4.4.

In the tests, there are two configured component carriers: PCC and SCC, and three synchronous cells: Cell 1, Cell 2 and
Cell 3. Cell 1 is PCell on the PCC, Cell 2 is an active SCell on the SCC, and Cell 3 is a neighbour cell on the SCC. In
all tests, Cell 2 is the OTDOA assistance data reference cell.

The test case includes two tests. Test 1 is designed for the scenario where the UE receives OTDOA assistance data with

scenario where the UE receives OTDOA assistance data with cells on PCC and SCC, and the UE is expected to report
RSTD measurements performed on PCC and on SCC.

Each test consists of three consecutive time intervals, with duration of T1, T2 and T3. Cell 1 is active in T1, T2 and T3,
whilst Cell 2 is active only in T2 and T3, and Cell 3 is active only during T2. The beginning of the time interval T2 shall
be aligned with the first PRS positioning subframe of a positioning occasion in the OTDOA assistance data reference
cell, where the PRS positioning occasion is as defined in Clause 8.1.2.5.1. Cell 1 transmits PRS in T2, while Cell 2
transmits PRS only in T3, and Cell 3 transmits PRS only in T2.

Note: The information on when PRS is muted is conveyed to the UE using PRS muting information.

The OTDOA assistance data as defined in TS 36.355, Clause 6.5.1.1, shall be provided to the UE during T1. The last

A.8.17.2.2 Test Requirements


The RSTD measurement time fulfils the requirements specified in Clause 8.4.

In Test 1, the UE shall perform and report the RSTD measurements from Cell 2 and Cell 3 within 2560 ms starting from
the beginning of time interval T2.

In Test 2, the UE shall perform and report the RSTD measurements from Cell 1 and Cell 2, and RSTD measurements
from Cell 2 and Cell 3 within 4960 ms starting from the beginning of time interval T2.

The rate of the correct events for each neighbour cell observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%, where the
reported RSTD measurement for each correct event shall be within the RSTD reporting range specified in
Clause 9.1.10.3, i.e., between RSTD_0000 and RSTD_12711.

NOTE: The RSTD measurement times in the tests are derived from the following expression,
 n 
TPRS  M  1  160  ,
M 

where M =8 and n =16 for Test 1, and M =16 and n =16 for Test 2. For Test 1, the M and n
parameters specified in Clause 8.1.2.5.1, Table 8.1.2.5.1-1, under Note 1, which gives the total RSTD
measurement time of 2560 ms for Cell 3 with respect to the reference cell Cell 2. For Test 2, the M and
n parameters are specified in Clause 8.1.2.6.1, Table 8.1.2.6.1-1, under Note 1, which gives the total
RSTD measurement time of 4960 ms for reporting the RSTD measurements of Cell 1 and Cell 3 with
respect to the reference cell Cell 2.

A.8.17.9.2 Test Requirements


The test requirements defined in section A.8.17.2.2 shall apply in this test case.

A.8.17.10 E-UTRAN 3 DL FDD CA RSTD Measurement Reporting Delay


Test Case

A.8.17.10.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of the test case is to verify that the RSTD measurements meet the requirements specified in Clause 8.4 in a
synchronized network environment with fading propagation conditions. This test case will verify the measurement
period requirements specified in Clause 8.4.3 for RSTD measurements performed on the same secondary component
carrier, the measurement period requirements for RSTD measurements performed on both the primary and secondary
component carriers specified in Clause 8.4.4, and also the measurement period requirements for RSTD measurements
performed on different secondary component carriers specified in Clause 8.4.5.

In the tests, there are three configured component carriers: PCC, SCC1 and SCC2, and four synchronous cells: Cell 1,
Cell 2, Cell 3 and Cell 4. Cell 1 is PCell on the PCC, Cell 2 is SCell on the SCC1, Cell 3 is SCell on the SCC2 and Cell
4 is a neighbour cell on the SCC2. In all tests, Cell 3 is the OTDOA assistance data reference cell.

The test case includes two tests. Test 1 is designed for the scenario where the UE receives OTDOA assistance data with
cells only on SCC2, and the UE is expected to report RSTD measurements performed on SCC2 only. Test 2 is designed
for the scenario where the UE receives OTDOA assistance data with cells on PCC, SCC1 and SCC2, and the UE is
expected to report RSTD measurements performed on PCC, SCC1 and SCC2.

Each test consists of three consecutive time intervals, with duration of T1, T2 and T3. Cell 1 is active in T1, T2 and T3,
Cell 2 is active only in T2 and T3, Cell 3 is active only during T2 and T3, and Cell 4 is active only during T2. The
beginning of the time interval T2 shall be aligned with the first PRS positioning subframe of a positioning occasion in
the OTDOA assistance data reference cell, where the PRS positioning occasion is as defined in Clause 8.1.2.5.1. Cell 1
transmits PRS in T2, Cell 2 transmits PRS only in T3, and Cell 3 transmits PRS only in T3, and Cell 4 transmits PRS
only in T2.

Note: The information on when PRS is muted is conveyed to the UE using PRS muting information.

Release 15 1209 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

The OTDOA assistance data as defined in TS 36.355, Clause 6.5.1.1, shall be provided to the UE during T1. The last
TTI containing the OTDOA assistance data shall be provided to the UE T ms before the start of T2, where T = 150
ms is the maximum processing time of the OTDOA assistance data.

The test parameters are as given in Table A.8.17.10.1-1, Table A.8.17.10.1-2, Table A.8.17.10.1-3 and Table

A.8.17.11.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of the test case is to verify that the RSTD measurements meet the requirements specified in Clause 8.4 in a
synchronized network environment with fading propagation conditions. This test case will verify the measurement
period requirements specified in Clause 8.4.3 for RSTD measurements performed on the same secondary component
carrier, the measurement period requirements for RSTD measurements performed on both the primary and secondary
component carriers specified in Clause 8.4.4, and also the measurement period requirements for RSTD measurements
performed on different secondary component carriers specified in Clause 8.4.5.

In the tests, there are three configured component carriers: PCC, SCC1 and SCC2, and four synchronous cells: Cell 1,
Cell 2, Cell 3 and Cell 4. Cell 1 is PCell on the PCC, Cell 2 is SCell on the SCC1, Cell 3 is SCell on the SCC2 and Cell
4 is a neighbour cell on the SCC2. In all tests, Cell 3 is the OTDOA assistance data reference cell.

The test case includes two tests. Test 1 is designed for the scenario where the UE receives OTDOA assistance data with
cells only on SCC2, and the UE is expected to report RSTD measurements performed on SCC2 only. Test 2 is designed
for the scenario where the UE receives OTDOA assistance data with cells on PCC, SCC1 and SCC2, and the UE is
expected to report RSTD measurements performed on PCC, SCC1 and SCC2.

Each test consists of three consecutive time intervals, with duration of T1, T2 and T3. Cell 1 is active in T1, T2 and T3,
Cell 2 is active only in T2 and T3, Cell 3 is active only during T2 and T3, and Cell 4 is active only during T2. The
beginning of the time interval T2 shall be aligned with the first PRS positioning subframe of a positioning occasion in
the OTDOA assistance data reference cell, where the PRS positioning occasion is as defined in Clause 8.1.2.5.1. Cell 1
transmits PRS in T2, Cell 2 transmits PRS only in T3, and Cell 3 transmits PRS only in T3, and Cell 4 transmits PRS
only in T2.

Note: The information on when PRS is muted is conveyed to the UE using PRS muting information.

The OTDOA assistance data as defined in TS 36.355, Clause 6.5.1.1, shall be provided to the UE during T1. The last
TTI containing the OTDOA assistance data shall be provided to the UE T ms before the start of T2, where T = 150
ms is the maximum processing time of the OTDOA assistance data.

The test parameters are as given in Table A.8.17.11.1-1, Table A.8.17.11.1-2, Table A.8.17.11.1-3 and Table A.8.17.11.1-

The test requirements defined in section A.8.20.4.2.1 shall apply to this test case.

A.8.21 CSG Proximity Indication Testing Case for E-UTRAN


FDD – FDD Inter frequency
Note : The test case in this section forms the basis for a signalling test for CSG proximity detection.

A.8.21.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify the UE has implemented properly the feature for indicating that the UE is entering
or leaving the proximity of one or more CSG member cells based on proximity detection with an autonomous search
function, as defined by the requirements in Section 6.4.

The test case consists of three successive segments: Test Preparation, Negative Test, and Positive Test. The test scenario
comprises of three E-UTRAN FDD cells on different carriers. Cell 1 represents the serving cell in the proximity of the
CSG cell, Cell 2 the CSG cell, and Cell 3 the serving cell not in the proximity of the CSG cell.The description of the
test procedure is shown in Table A.8.21-1. The general test parameters and cell specific test parameters are presented in
Table A.8.21-2 and Table A.8.21-3 respectively.

A.8.22.3.2 Test Requirements


UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 5120 ms from
the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the beginning of time
period T2, to the moment when the UE starts to send preambles on the PRACH for scheduling request (SR) to obtain
allocation to send the measurement report on PUSCH.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE 1: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to one DRX cycle higher than the measurement
reporting delays above because UE is allowed to delay the initiation of the measurement reporting
procedure to the next until the Active Time.

NOTE 2: In order to calculate the rate of correct events the system simulator shall verify that it has received correct
Event A3 measurement report.

A.8.22.4 E-UTRAN TDD-TDD inter-frequency event triggered reporting


under fading propagation conditions in DRX based on CRS based
discovery signal

A.8.22.4.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of the test is to verify that the UE makes correct reporting of an event when discovery signal is configured
in DRX. The test will partly verify the FDD-FDD inter-frequency measurement requirements in clause 8.6.2.2.1.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.22.4.1-1, A.8.22.4.1-2, A.8.22.4.1-3 and A.8.22.4.1-4. In the measurement
control information, it is indicated to the UE performing CRS based discovery signals measurement and event-triggered
reporting with Event A3 is configured. Entire discovery signal occasion should be contained in the measurement gap.
The subframe contained discovery signal for the measurement is not overlapped with the first 0.5ms period and the last
0.5ms period in every gap.

UE needs to be provided at least once every 500ms with new Timing Advance Command MAC control element to
restart the Time aligment timer to keep UE uplink time alignment. Furhtermore UE is allocated with PUSCH resource at
every DRX cycle.

The test consists of two successive time periods, with time duration of T1, and T2 respectively. During time duration
T1, the UE shall not have any timing information of cell 2.

A.8.22.7.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall send one Event C1 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 5888ms
from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the beginning of
time period T2, to the moment when the UE send the measurement report on PUSCH.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE 1: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to one DRX cycle higher than the measurement
reporting delays above because UE is allowed to delay the initiation of the measurement reporting
procedure to the next until the Active Time.

NOTE 2: In order to calculate the rate of correct events the system simulator shall verify that it has received correct
Event C1 measurement report

A.8.22.8 E-UTRAN TDD-TDD inter-frequency event triggered reporting


under fading propagation condition in DRX based on CSI-RS based
discovery signal

A.8.22.8.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of the test is to verify that the UE makes correct reporting of an event in DRX. The test will partly verify
the TDD-TDD inter-frequency cell search in DRX requirements in clause 8.6.3.2.2.2.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.22.8.1-1, A.8.22.8.1-2, A.8.22.8.1-3 and A.8.22.8.1-4. In the measurement
control information, it is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Event C1 is used. Entire discovery
signal occasion should be contained in the measurement gap. The subframe contained discovery signal for the
measurement is not overlapped with the first 0.5ms period and the last 0.5ms period in every gap.

The test consists of two successive time periods, with time duration of T1, and T2 respectively. During time duration
T1, the UE shall not have any timing information of cell 2.

The UE needs to be provided at least once every 500ms with new Timing Advance Command MAC control element to
restart the Time alignment timer to keep UE uplink time alignment. Furhtermore UE is allocated with PUSCH resource
at every DRX cycle.

A.8.22.9 E-UTRAN FDD event triggered reporting under deactivated SCell


in non-DRX based on CRS based discovery signal

A.8.22.9.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects events A2 (Serving cell becomes worse than threshold)
and A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell) defined in TS 36.331 [2] when CRS based discovery signal is
configured within the requirements stated in clause 8.7.2.4.1.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.22.9.1-1 and A.8.22.9.1-2 below. It is indicated to the UE in the
measurement control information that event-triggered reporting with Events A2 (PCell and SCell) and A6 is used. The
test consists of three successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. During T1 the UE shall not
have any information on cell 3. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 3 is increased to same
level as for cell 2, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6. At beginning of T3 the
transmission powers of cells 1, 2 and 3 are reduced below a threshold value and this shall result in reporting of Event
A2 for PCell and SCell, respectively.

A.8.22.11.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall send one Event C1 triggered measurement report for Cell 3 with a measurement reporting delay of less
than 6.08s (Tidentify_scc_SCE + Tmeasure_scc_CSI-RS = 13*measCycleSCell+Tmeasure_scc_CRS+Tmeasure_scc_CSI-RS = 13*measCycleSCell+3*
measCycleSCell +3* measCycleSCell) from the beginning of time T3.

The UE shall send one Event C1 triggered measurement report for Cell 1 with a measurement reporting delay of less
than 480 ms (3* TDMTC_periodicity) from beginning of time T2.

The UE shall send one Event C1 triggered measurement report for Cell 2 with a measurement reporting delay of less
than 960ms (3× measCycleSCell) from beginning of time T2.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90% for each of the events.

NOTE: The actual overall delays measured in the tests may be up to 2×TTIDCCH higher than the measurement
reporting delays above because of TTI insertion uncertainty of the measurement report in DCCH.

A.8.22.12 E-UTRAN TDD event triggered reporting under deactivated SCell


in non-DRX based on CSI-RS based discovery signal

A.8.22.12.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects event C1 (CSI-RS resource becomes better than
threshold) defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the requirements stated in clause 8.7.3.4.1.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.22.12.1-1 and A.8.22.12.1-2 below. It is indicated to the UE in the
measurement control information that event-triggered reporting with Events C1 is used. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. During T1 and T2 the UE shall not have any
information on cell 3. Immediately at beginning of T3 the transmission power of cell 3 is increased above a threshold
value and this shall result in reporting of Event C1. At beginning of T2 the transmission powers of cells 1 and 2 are
increased above a threshold value and this shall result in reporting of Event C1 for PCell and SCell, respectively.

A.8.23 E-UTRAN Dual Connectivity Measurements


A.8.23.1 E-UTRAN FDD-FDD DC intra-frequency event triggered reporting
with DRX in synchronous DC

A.8.23.1.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE makes correct reporting of intra frequency measurement. This test will
partly verify the FDD intra-frequency cell search requirements in clause 8.8.2 and 8.8.3.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.23.1.1-1, A.8.23.1.1-2, A.8.23.1.1-3 and A.8.23.1.1-4 below. In the test there
are two cells: Cell1 and Cell2. Cell1 is PCell and Cell2 is PSCell. In the measurement control information it is indicated
to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Events A1 (PCell and PSCell) and A2 (PCell and PSCell) is used. The test
consists of three successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Prior to the start of the time
duration T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized to Cell1 and Cell2. Prior to the start of the time duration T1, DRX
configurations on MCG and SCG are enabled and DRX inactivity timers for MCG and SCG have already been expired.
Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission powers of Cell1 and Cell2 are reduced below a threshold value of
event A2 and this shall result in reporting of Event A2 for PCell and PSCell, respectively. Immediately after receiving
the reporting of event A2 for both PCell and PSCell, PDCCH indicating a new transmission on Cell1 shall be sent
continuously to ensure that the UE would not enter the DRX state on MCG throughout T3. At beginning of T3 the
transmission powers of Cell1 and Cell2 are increased above a threshold value of event A1 and this shall result in
reporting of Event A1 for PCell and PSCell, respectively.

When MCG DRX is used, the uplink time aligment of Cell1 is not maintained and UE needs to use RACH to obtain UL
allocation for measurement reporting in Cell1. When SCG DRX is used, the UE needs to be provided at least once
every 500ms with new Timing Advance Command MAC control element to restart the Time alignment timer to keep
UE uplink time alignment in Cell2. Furhtermore UE is allocated with PUSCH resource at every DRX cycle.

A.8.23.2.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall send one Event A2 triggered report for PCell on PCell with a measurement reporting delay less than 6.4s
(5*MCG_DRX cycle) from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time
from the beginning of time period T2 to the moment when the UE starts to send preambles on the PRACH to obtain
allocation to send the measurement report on PUSCH.

The UE shall send one Event A2 triggered report for PSCell on PCell with a measurement reporting delay less than
400ms (5*SCG_DRX cycle) from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the
time from the beginning of time period T2 to the moment when the UE starts to send preambles on the PRACH to
obtain allocation to send the measurement report on PUSCH.

The UE shall send one Event A1 triggered report for PCell on PCell with a measurement reporting delay less than
200ms from the beginning of time period T3. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the
beginning of time period T3 to the moment when the UE sends the measurement report on PUSCH.

The UE shall send one Event A1 triggered report for PSCell on PCell with a measurement reporting delay less than
400ms (5*SCG_DRX cycle) from the beginning of time period T3. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the
time from the beginning of time period T3 to the moment when the UE sends the measurement report on PUSCH.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

A.8.23.3 E-UTRAN TDD-TDD DC intra-frequency event triggered reporting


with DRX in synchronous DC

A.8.23.3.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE makes correct reporting of intra frequency measurement. This test will
partly verify the TDD intra-frequency cell search requirements in clause 8.8.2 and 8.8.3.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.23.3.1-1, A.8.23.3.1-2, A.8.23.3.1-3 and A.8.23.3.1-4 below. In the test there
are two cells: Cell1 and Cell2. Cell1 is PCell and Cell2 is PSCell. In the measurement control information it is indicated
to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Events A1 (PCell and PSCell) and A2 (PCell and PSCell) is used. The test
consists of three successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Prior to the start of the time
duration T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized to Cell1 and Cell2. Prior to the start of the time duration T1, DRX
configurations on MCG and SCG are enabled and DRX inactivity timers for MCG and SCG have already been expired.

1291
Release 15 1292 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission powers of Cell1 and Cell2 are reduced below a threshold value of
event A2 and this shall result in reporting of Event A2 for PCell and PSCell, respectively. Immediately after receiving
the reporting of event A2 for both PCell and PSCell, PDCCH indicating a new transmission on Cell1 shall be sent
continuously to ensure UE would not enter DRX state on MCG throughout T3. At beginning of T3 the transmission
powers of Cell1 and Cell2 are increased above a threshold value of event A1 and this shall result in reporting of Event
A1 for PCell and PSCell, respectively.

When MCG DRX is used, the uplink time aligment of Cell1 is not maintained and UE needs to use RACH to obtain UL
allocation for measurement reporting in Cell1. When SCG DRX is used, the UE needs to be provided at least once
every 500ms with new Timing Advance Command MAC control element to restart the Time alignment timer to keep
UE uplink time alignment in Cell2. Furhtermore UE is allocated with PUSCH resource at every DRX cycle.

A.8.23.5.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall send one Event A3 triggered measurement report for Cell 3 on PCell, with a measurement reporting delay
less than 3.84s from the beginning of time period T2. The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the
beginning of time period T2 to the moment when the UE sends the measurement report on PUSCH.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

A.8.23.6 E-UTRAN TDD-TDD DC inter-frequency event triggered reporting


with DRX in synchronous DC

A.8.23.6.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE makes correct reporting of inter frequency measurement. This test will
partly verify the TDD inter-frequency cell search requirements in clause 8.8.4.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.23.6.1-1, A.8.23.6.1-2, A.8.23.6.1-3 and A.8.23.6.1-4 below. In the test there
are three cells: Cell1, Cell2 and Cell3. Cell1 is PCell, Cell2 is PSCell and Cell3 is a neighbour cell. In the measurement
control information it is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Events A3 (PCell) is used. The test
consists of two successive time periods, with duration of T1 and T2, respectively. Prior to the start of the time duration
T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized to Cell1 and Cell2. During T1 the UE shall not have any information on Cell3.
Prior to the start of the time duration T1, DRX configurations on MCG and SCG are enabled and DRX inactivity timers
for MCG and SCG have already been expired.

In this test, UE needs to be provided at least once every 500ms with new Timing Advance Command MAC control
element to restart the Time aligment timer to keep UE uplink time alignment in Cell1. Furhtermore UE is allocated with
PUSCH resource at every DRX cycle.

A.8.23.7 E-UTRAN FDD-FDD Addition and Release Delay of known


PSCell in Synchronous DC

A.8.23.7.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the PSCell addition and release delays under synchronous dual connectivity are
within the requirements stated in section 7.14 for the case when the PSCell is known by the UE at the time of addition.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.23.7.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.23.7.1-2 below. The test
consists of five successive time periods with duration of T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. There are two carriers each
with one cell. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC) but is not aware of
Cell 2 on radio channel 2. The UE is only monitoring the PCC. During T1 only Cell1 is known to the UE.

Before the start of T2 it is indicated to the UE in the measurement control information that event-triggered reporting
with Event A4 is configured for neighbour cell (Cell2). Before the start of T2 the UE is configured with the
measurement gaps (gap pattern Id # 0). The Cell2 becomes known to the UE during T2. Therefore during T2 the UE
shall report Event A4. After receiving the Event A4, the test system shall send a RRC message to the UE to release the
measurement gaps.

The test system shall send a RRC message to the UE to add PSCell (Cell 2) on radio channel 2. The RRC message (to
add PSCell) also includes a request for the UE to start periodic CSI reporting for the PSCell after the PSCell has been
successfully added. The RRC message to add PSCell shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the measurement
gaps are released by the test system. The point in time at which the RRC message to add PSCell (Cell2) is received at
the UE antenna connector defines the start of time period T3.

The test system shall observe the periodic reporting of CSI for PSCell during T4. The point in time at which the UE has
sent PRACH to the PSCell (Cell 2) defines the start of time period T4.

1303
Release 15 1304 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

The test system shall send a RRC message to the UE to release PSCell (Cell 2) on radio channel 2. The RRC message to
release PSCell (Cell2) shall be sent to the UE during time period T4, after the UE has sent at least one CQI report with
non-zero CQI index for PSCell (Cell 2). The point in time at which the RRC message to release PSCell (Cell2) is
received at the UE antenna connector defines the start of time period T5.

A.8.23.7.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall transmit the PRACH to PSCell at latest 115 ms into T3.

The UE shall send at least one CSI report for PSCell with non-zero CQI index during T4.

The UE shall periodically send CSI reports for PSCell after the UE has sent first CQI report with non-zero CQI index
during T4

The UE shall stop sending CSI reports for PSCell in at latest 16ms into T5.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed PSCell addition delay and PSCell release
delay to be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed PSCell addition delay and PSCell release delay during
repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The PSCell addition delay can be expressed as follows as specified in Clause 7.14.2:

Tconfig_PSCell = 15ms + Tactivation_time + 50ms + TPCell_ DU + TPSCell_ DU

Where:

Tactivation_time = 20 ms (cell2 is known to the UE);

TPCell_ DU = 0 (due to PRACH configurations in cell1 and cell2 being orthogonal in time, i.e. non-overlapping in
time);

TPSCell_ DU = 30 ms (delay due to PRACH transmission to cell2).

This gives a total of 115 ms.

A.8.23.8 E-UTRAN FDD-FDD Addition and Release Delay of known


PSCell in Asynchronous DC

A.8.23.8.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the PSCell addition and release delays under asynchronous dual connectivity are
within the requirements stated in section 7.14 for the case when the PSCell is known by the UE at the time of addition.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.23.8.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.23.8.1-2 below. The test
consists of five successive time periods with duration of T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. There are two carriers each
with one cell. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC) but is not aware of

measurement gaps (gap pattern Id # 0). The Cell2 becomes known to the UE during T2. Therefore during T2 the UE
shall report Event A4. After receiving the Event A4, the test system shall send a RRC message to the UE to release the
measurement gaps.

The test system shall send a RRC message to the UE to add PSCell (Cell 2) on radio channel 2. The RRC message (to
add PSCell) also includes a request for the UE to start periodic CSI reporting for the PSCell after the PSCell has been
successfully added. The RRC message to add PSCell shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the measurement
gaps are released by the test system. The point in time at which the RRC message to add PSCell (Cell2) is received at
the UE antenna connector defines the start of time period T3.

The test system shall observe the periodic reporting of CSI for PSCell during T4. The point in time at which the UE has
sent PRACH to the PSCell (Cell 2) defines the start of time period T4.

The test system shall send a RRC message to the UE to release PSCell (Cell 2) on radio channel 2. The RRC message to
release PSCell (Cell2) shall be sent to the UE during time period T4, after the UE has sent at least one CQI report with
non-zero CQI index for PSCell (Cell 2). The point in time at which the RRC message to release PSCell (Cell2) is
received at the UE antenna connector defines the start of time period T5.

A.8.23.8.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall transmit the PRACH to PSCell at latest 115 ms into T3.

1308
Release 15 1309 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

The UE shall send at least one CSI report for PSCell with non-zero CQI index during T4.

The UE shall periodically send CSI reports for PSCell after the UE has sent first CQI report with non-zero CQI index
during T4

The UE shall stop sending CSI reports for PSCell in at latest 16ms into T5.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed PSCell addition delay and PSCell release
delay to be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed PSCell addition delay and PSCell release delay during
repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The PSCell addition delay can be expressed as follows as specified in Clause 7.14.2:

Tconfig_PSCell = 15ms + Tactivation_time + 50ms + TPCell_ DU + TPSCell_ DU

Where:

Tactivation_time = 20 ms (cell2 is known to the UE);

TPCell_ DU = 0 (due to PRACH configurations in cell1 and cell2 being orthogonal in time, i.e. non-overlapping in
time);

TPSCell_ DU = 30 ms (delay due to PRACH transmission to cell2).

This gives a total of 115 ms.

A.8.23.9 E-UTRAN TDD Addition and Release Delay of known PSCell in


Synchronous DC

A.8.23.9.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the PSCell addition and release delays under synchronous dual connectivity are
within the requirements stated in section 7.14 for the case when the PSCell is known by the UE at the time of addition.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.23.9.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.23.9.1-2 below. The test
consists of five successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. There are two carriers
each with one cell. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC) but is not aware
of Cell 2 on radio channel 2. The UE is only monitoring the PCC. During T1 only Cell1 is known to the UE.

Before the start of T2 it is indicated to the UE in the measurement control information that event-triggered reporting
with Event A4 is configured for neighbour cell (Cell2). Before the start of T2 the UE is configured with the
measurement gaps (gap pattern Id # 0). The Cell2 becomes known to the UE during T2. Therefore during T2 the UE
shall report Event A4. After receiving the Event A4, the test system shall send a RRC message to the UE to release the
measurement gaps.

The test system shall send a RRC message to the UE to add PSCell (Cell 2) on radio channel 2. The RRC message (to
add PSCell) also includes a request for the UE to start periodic CSI reporting for the PSCell after the PSCell has been
successfully added. The RRC message to add PSCell shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the measurement
gaps are released by the test system. The point in time at which the RRC message to add PSCell (Cell2) is received at
the UE antenna connector defines the start of time period T3.

The test system shall observe the periodic reporting of CSI for PSCell during T4. The point in time at which the UE has
sent PRACH to the PSCell (Cell 2) defines the start of time period T4.

The test system shall send a RRC message to the UE to release PSCell (Cell 2) on radio channel 2. The RRC message to
release PSCell (Cell2) shall be sent to the UE during time period T4, after the UE has sent at least one CQI report with
non-zero CQI index for PSCell (Cell 2). The point in time at which the RRC message to release PSCell (Cell2) is
received at the UE antenna connector defines the start of time period T5.

A.8.23.9.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall transmit the PRACH to PSCell at latest 115 ms into T3.

The UE shall send at least one CSI report for PSCell with non-zero CQI index during T4.

The UE shall periodically send CSI reports for PSCell after the UE has sent first CQI report with non-zero CQI index

Where:

Tactivation_time = 20 ms (cell2 is known to the UE);

TPCell_ DU = 0 (due to PRACH configurations in cell1 and cell2 being orthogonal in time, i.e. non-overlapping in

This gives a total of 115 ms.

A.8.23.10 E-UTRAN TDD-FDD DC intra-frequency event triggered reporting


with DRX in synchronous DC with PCell in FDD

A.8.23.10.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE makes correct reporting of PCell and PSCell intra frequency
measurement. This test will partly verify the intra-frequency measurement requirements in clause 8.8.2 and clause 8.8.3.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.23.10.1-1, A.8.23.10.1-2, A.8.23.10.1-3 and A.8.23.10.1-4 below. In the test
there are two cells: Cell1 and Cell2. Cell1 is PCell and Cell2 is PSCell. In the measurement control information it is
indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Events A1 (PCell and PSCell) and A2 (PCell and PSCell) is
used. The test consists of three successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Prior to the start of
the time duration T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized to Cell1 and Cell2. Prior to the start of the time duration T1,
DRX configurations on MCG and SCG are enabled and DRX inactivity timers for MCG and SCG have expired.
Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission powers of Cell1 and Cell2 are reduced below a threshold value of
event A2 and this shall result in reporting of Event A2 for PCell and PSCell, respectively. Immediately after receiving
the reporting of event A2 for both PCell and PSCell, PDCCH indicating a new transmission on Cell1 shall be sent
continuously to ensure that the UE would not enter the DRX state on MCG throughout T3. At beginning of T3 the
transmission powers of Cell1 and Cell2 are increased above a threshold value of event A1 and this shall result in
reporting of Event A1 for PCell and PSCell, respectively.

When MCG DRX is used, the uplink time aligment of Cell1 is not maintained and UE needs to use RACH to obtain UL
allocation for measurement reporting in Cell1. When SCG DRX is used, the UE needs to be provided at least once
every 500ms with new Timing Advance Command MAC control element to restart the Time alignment timer to keep
UE uplink time alignment in Cell2. Furthermore UE is allocated with PUSCH resource at every DRX cycle.

A.8.23.12 E-UTRAN TDD-FDD DC inter-frequency event triggered reporting


with DRX in synchronous DC with PCell in FDD

A.8.23.12.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE makes correct reporting of inter frequency measurement. This test will
partly verify the inter-frequency cell search requirements in clause 8.8.4.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.23.12.1-1, A.8.23.12.1-2, A.8.23.12.1-3 and A.8.23.12.1-4 below. In the test
there are three cells: Cell1, Cell2 and Cell3. Cell1 is PCell, Cell2 is PSCell and Cell3 is a neighbour cell. In the
measurement control information it is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Event A3 (PCell) is used.
The test consists of two successive time periods, with duration of T1 and T2, respectively. Prior to the start of the time
duration T1, the UE shall be fully synchronized to Cell1 and Cell2. During T1 the UE shall not have any information on

1318
Release 15 1319 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

Cell3. Prior to the start of the time duration T1, DRX configurations on MCG and SCG are enabled and DRX inactivity
timers for MCG and SCG have already been expired.

In this test, UE needs to be provided at least once every 500ms with new Timing Advance Command MAC control
element to restart the Time aligment timer to keep UE uplink time alignment in Cell1. Furthermore the UE is allocated
with PUSCH resource at every DRX cycle.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

A.8.23.14 E-UTRAN TDD-FDD Addition and Release Delay of known


PSCell in Synchronous DC with PCell in FDD

A.8.23.14.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the PSCell addition and release delays under synchronous dual connectivity are
within the requirements stated in section 7.14 for the case when the PSCell is known by the UE at the time of addition.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.23.14.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.23.14.1-2 below. The test
consists of five successive time periods with duration of T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. There are two carriers each
with one cell. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC) but is not aware of
Cell 2 on radio channel 2. The UE is only monitoring the PCC. During T1 only Cell1 is known to the UE.

Before the start of T2 it is indicated to the UE in the measurement control information that event-triggered reporting
with Event A4 is configured for neighbour cell (Cell2). Before the start of T2 the UE is configured with the
measurement gaps (gap pattern Id # 0). The Cell2 becomes known to the UE during T2. Therefore during T2 the UE
shall report Event A4. After receiving the Event A4, the test system shall send a RRC message to the UE to release the
measurement gaps.

The test system shall send a RRC message to the UE to add PSCell (Cell 2) on radio channel 2. The RRC message (to
add PSCell) also includes a request for the UE to start periodic CSI reporting for the PSCell after the PSCell has been
successfully added. The RRC message to add PSCell shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the measurement
gaps are released by the test system. The point in time at which the RRC message to add PSCell (Cell2) is received at
the UE antenna connector defines the start of time period T3.

The test system shall observe the periodic reporting of CSI for PSCell during T4. The point in time at which the UE has
sent PRACH to the PSCell (Cell 2) defines the start of time period T4.

1324
Release 15 1325 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

The test system shall send a RRC message to the UE to release PSCell (Cell 2) on radio channel 2. The RRC message to
release PSCell (Cell2) shall be sent to the UE during time period T4, after the UE has sent at least one CQI report with
non-zero CQI index for PSCell (Cell 2). The point in time at which the RRC message to release PSCell (Cell2) is
received at the UE antenna connector defines the start of time period T5.

A.8.23.14.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall transmit the PRACH to PSCell at latest 115 ms into T3.

The UE shall send at least one CSI report for PSCell with non-zero CQI index during T4.

The UE shall stop sending CSI reports for PSCell in at latest 16ms into T5.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed PSCell addition delay and PSCell release
delay to be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed PSCell addition delay and PSCell release delay during
repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The PSCell addition delay can be expressed as follows as specified in Clause 7.14.2:

Tconfig_PSCell = 15ms + Tactivation_time + 50ms + TPCell_ DU + TPSCell_ DU

Where:

Tactivation_time = 20 ms (cell2 is known to the UE);

TPCell_ DU = 0 (due to PRACH configurations in cell1 and cell2 being orthogonal in time, i.e. non-overlapping in
time);

TPSCell_ DU = 30 ms (delay due to PRACH transmission to cell2).

This gives a total of 115 ms.

A.8.23.15 E-UTRAN TDD-FDD Addition and Release Delay of known


PSCell in Synchronous DC with PCell in TDD

A.8.23.15.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the PSCell addition and release delays under synchronous dual connectivity are
within the requirements stated in section 7.14 for the case when the PSCell is known by the UE at the time of addition.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.23.15.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.23.15.1-2 below. The test
consists of five successive time periods with duration of T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. There are two carriers each
with one cell. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC) but is not aware of
Cell 2 on radio channel 2. The UE is only monitoring the PCC. During T1 only Cell1 is known to the UE.

Before the start of T2 it is indicated to the UE in the measurement control information that event-triggered reporting
with Event A4 is configured for neighbour cell (Cell2). Before the start of T2 the UE is configured with the
measurement gaps (gap pattern Id # 0). The Cell2 becomes known to the UE during T2. Therefore during T2 the UE
shall report Event A4. After receiving the Event A4, the test system shall send a RRC message to the UE to release the
measurement gaps.

The test system shall send a RRC message to the UE to add PSCell (Cell 2) on radio channel 2. The RRC message (to
add PSCell) also includes a request for the UE to start periodic CSI reporting for the PSCell after the PSCell has been
successfully added. The RRC message to add PSCell shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the measurement
gaps are released by the test system. The point in time at which the RRC message to add PSCell (Cell2) is received at
the UE antenna connector defines the start of time period T3.

The test system shall observe the periodic reporting of CSI for PSCell during T4. The point in time at which the UE has
sent PRACH to the PSCell (Cell 2) defines the start of time period T4.

The test system shall send a RRC message to the UE to release PSCell (Cell 2) on radio channel 2. The RRC message to
release PSCell (Cell2) shall be sent to the UE during time period T4, after the UE has sent at least one CQI report with
non-zero CQI index for PSCell (Cell 2). The point in time at which the RRC message to release PSCell (Cell2) is
received at the UE antenna connector defines the start of time period T5.

A.8.23.16.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE makes correct reporting of SSTD measurements. The test partially verifies the
requirement in SSTD Measurements for E-UTRA Dual Connectivity, section 8.8.7. This test is applicable to UEs which support
asynchronous dual connectivity and support SSTD measurements.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.23.16.1-1 and A.8.23.16.1-2. In this test there are 2 cells, a PCell and a PScell, on
different frequencies.

The test consists of two time phases, T1 and T2. During T1 a dual connectivity connection is established. At the end of T1 a
measurement with the IE reportSSTD-Meas set to TRUE is configured by the test equipment, such that the measurement
configuration is available to the UE at the transition from T1 to T2. The SSTD reporting delay is the time from the start of T2 until
an SSTD measurement report is transmitted by the UE.

is PCell, Cell 2 is PSCell and Cell 3 is neighbour cell. PDCCHs indicating new transmissions shall be sent continuously on PCell
and PSCell to ensure that the UE would have ACK/NACK sending during identifying a new CGI of E-UTRAN cell. The test
consists of three successive time periods, with time durations of T1, T2 and T3 respectively. At the start of time duration T1, the
UE does not have any timing information of cell 3. Starting T2, cell 2 becomes detectable and the UE is expected to detect and
send a measurement report.

A RRC message implying SI reading shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the UE has reported Event A3. The RRC
message shall create a measurement report configuration with purpose reportCGI and si-RequestForHO set to TRUE. The start of
T3 is the instant when the last TTI containing the RRC message implying SI reading is sent to the UE.

A.8.23.21 E-UTRAN FDD - FDD DC Inter-frequency identification of a new CGI of


E-UTRA cell using autonomous gaps in synchronous DC

A.8.23.21.1 Test Purpose and Environment


This test is to verify the requirement for identification of a new CGI of E-UTRA cell using autonomous gaps in synchronous DC in
clause 8.8.6.1.

The test scenario comprises of three E-UTRA FDD cells, PCell (Cell 1), PSCell (Cell 2) and neighbour cell (Cell 3) and each cell
on one carrier as given in tables A.8.23.21.1-1 and A.8.23.21.1-2. PDCCHs indicating new transmissions shall be sent continuously
to ensure that the UE would have ACK/NACK sending during identifying a new CGI of E-UTRAN cell. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with time durations of T1, T2 and T3 respectively. At the start of time duration T1, the UE does not have
any timing information of cell 3. Starting T2, cell 3 becomes detectable and the UE is expected to detect and send a measurement
report. Gap pattern configuration with id #0 as specified in Table 8.1.2.1-1 is configured before T2 begins to enable inter-frequency
monitoring.

A RRC message implying SI reading shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the UE has reported Event A3. The RRC
message shall create a measurement report configuration with purpose reportCGI and si-RequestForHO set to UE. The start of T3
is the instant when the last TTI containing the RRC message implying SI reading is sent to the UE. Measurement gaps shall be
deconfigured before the start of T3.

A.8.23.21.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall transmit a measurement report containing the cell global identifier of cell 3 within 170 milliseconds from the start of
T3.

Test requirement = RRC Procedure delay + Tidentify_CGI, inter + reporting delay

= 15 + 150 + 2ms from the start of T3

= 167 ms, allow 170 ms.

1341
Release 15 1342 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

The UE shall be scheduled continuously throughout the test, and from the start of T3 until 170 ms at least 80 ACK/NACK shall be
detected both on cells in MCG and SCG as being transmitted by the UE.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The overall 80 ACK/NACK number is caused by two parts. Firstly, at least 60 ACK/NACK shall be sent both on
cells in MCG and SCG during identifying the cell global identifier of cell 3 according to the requirement in
Clause 8.8.6.1. Secondly, given that continuous DL data allocation, and the measurement gaps have been
deconfigured before the start of T3, additional 20 ACK/NACK shall be sent both on cells in MCG and SCG from the
start of T3 until 170 ms excludes 150 ms for identifying the cell global identifier of cell 3.

A.8.23.22 E-UTRAN FDD - FDD DC Inter-frequency identification of a new CGI of


E-UTRA cell using autonomous gaps in asynchronous DC

A.8.23.22.1 Test Purpose and Environment


This test is to verify the requirement for identification of a new CGI of E-UTRA cell using autonomous gaps in asynchronous DC
in clause 8.8.6.1.

The test scenario comprises of threeE-UTRA FDD cells, PCell (Cell 1), PSCell (Cell 2) and neighbour cell (Cell 3) and each cell
on one carrier as given in tables A.8.23.22.1-1 and A.8.23.22.1-2. PDCCHs indicating new transmissions shall be sent continuously
to ensure that the UE would have ACK/NACK sending during identifying a new CGI of E-UTRAN cell. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with time durations of T1, T2 and T3 respectively. At the start of time duration T1, the UE does not have
any timing information of cell 3. Starting T2, cell 3 becomes detectable and the UE is expected to detect and send a measurement
report. Gap pattern configuration with id #0 as specified in Table 8.1.2.1-1 is configured before T2 begins to enable inter-frequency
monitoring.

A RRC message implying SI reading shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the UE has reported Event A3. The RRC
message shall create a measurement report configuration with purpose reportCGI and si-RequestForHO set to TRUE. The start of
T3 is the instant when the last TTI containing the RRC message implying SI reading is sent to the UE. Measurement gaps shall be
deconfigured before the start of T3.

A.8.23.24 E-UTRAN FDD-FDD DC activation and deactivation of known SCell in


Non-DRX in synchronous DC

A.8.23.24.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that SCell activation and deactivation requirements specified in clause 7.18 for Dual
Connectivity, when the SCell is known by the UE at the time of activation.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.23.24-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.23.24-2 below. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are three carriers, each with one cell. All cells have
constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC) and
Cell 2 (PSCell) on radio channel 2, but is not aware of Cell 3 (SCell1 in MCG) on radio channel 3 (SCC1). The UE is only
monitoring the PCC and the frequency of PSCell. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell and PSCell throughout the
whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the SCell1 becomes configured on SCC1. The UE now starts
monitoring also the SCC1. The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of the SCell1.

The point in time at which a MAC message is received at the UE antenna connector, in a subframe # denoted m which is an even
number, defines the start of time period T2. The UE shall be able to report valid CSI for the activated SCell1 at latest in asubframe
(m+24). The UE shall start reporting CSI for SCell1 in subframe in (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until the
SCell activation has been completed. Any PCell and PSCell interruption due to activation of SCell1 shall not occur outside
subframes (m+5) to (m+9).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of SCell1, sent from the test equipment to the UE in a subframe #
denoted n, is received at the UE antenna connector. The UE shall carry out deactivation of SCell1 at latest in subframe (n+8), and
any PCell and PSCell interruption due to the deactivation of SCell1 shall not occur outside subframes (n+5) to (n+9).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell and PSCell during activation and deactivation of the SCell1, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell1 activation command is
sent until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell1 deactivation command
is sent until CQI reporting for SCell1 is discontinued.

A.8.23.25 E-UTRAN FDD-FDD DC activation and deactivation of known SCell in


Non-DRX in asynchronous DC

A.8.23.25.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that SCell activation and deactivation requirements specified in clause 7.18 for Dual
Connectivity, when the SCell is known by the UE at the time of activation.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.23.25-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.23.25-2 below. The test consists of three
successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. There are three carriers, each with one cell. All cells have
constant signal levels throughout the test. Before the test starts the UE is connected to Cell 1 (PCell) on radio channel 1 (PCC) and
Cell 2 (PSCell) on radio channel 2, but is not aware of Cell 3 (SCell1 in MCG) on radio channel 3 (SCC1). The UE is only
monitoring the PCC and the frequency of PSCell. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell and PSCell throughout the
whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the SCell1 becomes configured on SCC1. The UE now starts
monitoring also the SCC1. The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation of SCell1.

The point in time at which a MAC message is received at the UE antenna connector, in a subframe # denoted m which is an even
number, defines the start of time period T2. The UE shall be able to report valid CSI for the activated SCell1 at latest in asubframe
(m+24). The UE shall start reporting CSI for SCell1 in subframe in (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until the
SCell activation has been completed. Any PCell and PSCell interruption due to activation of SCell1 shall not occur outside
subframes (m+5) to (m+9).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of SCell1, sent from the test equipment to the UE in a subframe #
denoted n, where n is 4 or 9. is received at the UE antenna connector. The UE shall carry out deactivation of SCell1 at latest in
subframe (n+8), and any PCell and PSCell interruption due to the deactivation of the SCell shall not occur outside subframes (n+5)
to (n+9).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK sent in
PCell and PSCell during activation and deactivation of SCell1, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell1 activation command is
sent until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell1 deactivation command
is sent until CQI reporting for SCell1 is discontinued.

A.8.23.27 E-UTRAN FDD-FDD DC event triggered reporting under deactivated


SCell with PCell and PSCell interruption in non-DRX in synchronous DC

A.8.23.27.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that in FDD-FDD DC the UE correctly detects event A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell)
defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the requirements stated in clause 8.8.8 while at the same time fulfilling the requirement on
interruption rate stated in clause 7.12.

In this test case there are three cells: Cell1, Cell2, Cell3 and Cell4. Cell 1 is the PCell on the FDD primary component carrier, Cell
2 is the configured PSCell on the FDD carrier 2, Cell 3 is the configured deactivated SCell on the FDD carrier 3 in MCG, and Cell
4 is the neighbour cell on carrier 3. It is indicated to the UE in the measurement control information that event-triggered reporting
with Event A6 is used. The test consists of two successive time periods, with duration of T1 and T2, respectively. During T1 the UE
shall not have any information of Cell 4. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 4 is increased to same level
as for cell 3, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6. PDCCH indicating a new transmission on the
PCell and PSCell shall be sent continuously to ensure that the UE sends ACK/NACKs throughout the test.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.23.27.1-1 and Table A.8.23.27.1-2 below.

A.8.23.27.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall send one Event A6 triggered measurement report for cell 3, with a measurement reporting delay less than 25.6s from
the beginning of time period T2.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The UE shall be scheduled on PCell and PSCell continuously throughout the test. From the start of T1 until the measurement report
is received during T2, at least 99.5% of all expected ACK/NACKs on the PCell and at least 99.5% of all expected ACK/NACKs on
the PSCell shall be transmitted by the UE. Each interruption length shall not exceed 1 subframe.

For a test to be considered successful requirements on both event detection and percentage of transmitted ACK/NACKs have to be
fulfilled simultaneously.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to 2xTTIDCCH higher than the measurement reporting
delays above because of TTI insertion uncertainty of the measurement report in DCCH.

The purpose of this test is to verify that in FDD-FDD DC the UE correctly detects event A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell)
defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the requirements stated in clause 8.8.8 while at the same time fulfilling the requirement on
interruption rate stated in clause 7.12.

In this test case there are three cells: Cell1, Cell2, Cell3 and Cell4. Cell 1 is the PCell on the FDD primary component carrier, Cell
2 is the configured PSCell on the FDD carrier 2, Cell 3 is the configured deactivated SCell on the FDD carrier 3 in MCG, and Cell
4 is the neighbour cell on carrier 3. It is indicated to the UE in the measurement control information that event-triggered reporting
with Event A6 is used. The test consists of two successive time periods, with duration of T1 and T2, respectively. During T1 the UE
shall not have any information of Cell 4. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 4 is increased to same level
as for cell 3, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6. PDCCH indicating a new transmission on the
PCell and PSCell shall be sent continuously to ensure that the UE sends ACK/NACKs throughout the test.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.23.28.1-1 and Table A.8.23.28.1-2 below.

A.8.23.28.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall send one Event A6 triggered measurement report for cell 3, with a measurement reporting delay less than 25.6s from
the beginning of time period T2.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The UE shall be scheduled on PCell and PSCell continuously throughout the test. From the start of T1 until the measurement report
is received during T2, at least 99.5% of all expected ACK/NACKs on the PCell and at least 99.5% of all expected ACK/NACKs on
the PSCell shall be transmitted by the UE. Each interruption length shall not exceed 1subframes on PCell and 2 subframes on
PSCell, respectively.

For a test to be considered successful requirements on both event detection and percentage of transmitted ACK/NACKs have to be
fulfilled simultaneously.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to 2xTTIDCCH higher than the measurement reporting
delays above because of TTI insertion uncertainty of the measurement report in DCCH.

PCell for WAN.

For this test, the UE is triggered by the test loop function or the upper layers to transmit for ProSe Direct Communication.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.24.3.1-1, Table A.8.24.3.1-2 and Table A.8.24.3.1-3 below. There is one active cell
(PCell) in this test. The test consists of three successive time periods, with time duration of T1, T2 and T3 respectively. During T1,
the RSRP of the PCell is above syncTxThreshIC and the UE is not expected to be transmitting SLSS. During T2, the RSRP of the
PCell is lowered below syncTxThreshIC and the UE is expected to initiate SLSS transmissions. During T3, the RSRP of the PCell
is increased back to be above syncTxThreshIC and the UE is expected to cease SLSS transmissions.

A.8.26 Frame Structure 3 (FS3)


A.8.26.1 E-UTRAN FDD-FS3 Activation and deactivation of known FS3
SCell with FDD PCell in non-DRX

A.8.26.1.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the LAA SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements
stated in section 7.7, when the SCell is known by the UE at the time of activation.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.26.1.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.26.1.1-2 below. In the test there
are two cells: Cell1 and Cell2. Cell1 is PCell on the FDD primary component (RF Channel 1), Cell2 is deactivated
SCell on the secondary component (RF Channel 2) for frame structure 3. Cell 1 has constant signal levels throughout
the test, and Cell 2 transmits discovery signal with LBT model.

The test consists of three successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Before the test starts the
UE is connected to Cell1 on radio channel 1 (PCC) but is not aware of Cell 2 on radio channel 2. The UE is only
monitoring the PCC. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the SCell (Cell 2) becomes configured on radio
channel 2 (SCC). The UE now starts monitoring also the SCC. The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation
of the SCell.

The point in time at which the MAC message is received at the UE antenna connector, in a subframe # denoted m which
is an even number, defines the start of time period T2. The UE shall be able to report valid CSI for the activated SCell at
latest in subframe m+ Tactivate_basic_FS3, where Tactivate_basic_FS3 is specified in section 7.7.10. The UE shall start reporting CSI
in subframe (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until the SCell activation has been completed. Any PCell
interruption due to activation of SCell shall occur in the subframes (m+5) to (m+9).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of SCell, sent from the test equipment to the UE in a
subframe # denoted n, is received at the UE antenna connector. The UE shall carry out deactivation of the SCell in a
subframe (n+8), and any PCell interruption due to the deactivation shall occur in the subframes (n+5) to (n+9).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK
sent in PCell during activation and deactivation of SCell, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell activation
command is sent until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell deactivation
command is sent until CQI reporting for SCell is discontinued.

During T2 the UE shall send the first CSI report for SCell in a subframe (m+8), or in a subframe (m+10) if the suframe
(m+8) was subject to interruption. Whether CSI report in subframe (m+8) was interrupted or not is checked by
monitoring ACK/NACK sent in PCell in subframe (m+8).

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+
Tactivate_basic_FS3) ms, L is the number of times the discovery signal occasion is not available at the UE during the SCell
activation time.

During T3 the UE shall stop sending CSI reports for SCell at latest in a subframe (n+8).

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCell activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+9).

3GPP
Release 15 1379 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

During T3 interruption of PCell during SCell deactivation shall not happen outside the subframes (n+5) to (n+9).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for intra-band CA and inter-band CA in Section
7.8.2.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell activation delay and SCell
deactivation delay to be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed SCell activation delay and SCell deactivation
delay during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: During T2 if there are no uplink resources for reporting the valid CSI in a subframe (m+ Tactivate_basic_FS3)ms,

A.8.26.2 E-UTRAN TDD-FS3 Activation and deactivation of known FS3


SCell with TDD PCell in non-DRX

A.8.26.2.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the LAA SCell activation and deactivation times are within the requirements
stated in section 7.7, when the SCell is known by the UE at the time of activation.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.26.2.1-1 and cell-specific parameters in A.8.26.2.1-2 below. In the test there
are two cells: Cell1 and Cell2. Cell1 is PCell on the TDD primary component (RF Channel 1), Cell2 is deactivated
SCell on the secondary component (RF Channel 2) for frame structure 3. Cell 1 has constant signal levels throughout
the test, and Cell 2 transmits discovery signal with LBT model.

The test consists of three successive time periods, with duration of T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Before the test starts the
UE is connected to Cell1 on radio channel 1 (PCC) but is not aware of Cell 2 on radio channel 2. The UE is only
monitoring the PCC. The UE shall be continuously scheduled in the PCell throughout the whole test.

At the beginning of T1 the UE receives an RRC message by which the SCell (Cell 2) becomes configured on radio
channel 2 (SCC). The UE now starts monitoring also the SCC. The test equipment sends a MAC message for activation
of the SCell.

The point in time at which the MAC message is received at the UE antenna connector, in a subframe # denoted m,
where m is 4 or 9, defines the start of time period T2. The UE shall be able to report valid CSI for the activated SCell at
latest in subframe m+ Tactivate_basic_FS3, where Tactivate_basic_FS3 is specified in section 7.7.10. The UE shall start reporting CSI
in subframe (m+8) and shall report CQI index 0 (out-of-range) until the SCell activation has been completed. Any PCell
interruption due to activation of SCell shall occur in the subframes (m+5) to (m+11).

Time period T3 starts when a MAC message for deactivation of SCell, sent from the test equipment to the UE in a
subframe # denoted n, is received at the UE antenna connector. The UE shall carry out deactivation of the SCell and any
PCell interruption due to the deactivation shall occur in the subframes (n+5) to (n+11).

The test equipment verifies that potential interruption is carried out in the correct time span by monitoring ACK/NACK
sent in PCell during activation and deactivation of SCell, respectively.

The test equipment verifies the activation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell activation
command is sent until a CSI report with other than CQI index 0 is received.

The test equipment verifies the deactivation time by counting the subframes from the time when the SCell deactivation
command is sent until CQI reporting for SCell is discontinued.

A.8.26.2.2 Test Requirements


During T2 the UE shall send the first CSI report for SCell in a subframe (m+8), or in a subframe (m+9) if the subframe
(m+8) was subject to interruption, or in a subframe (m+13) if the subframes (m+8) and (m+9) were subject to
interruption when an intra-band SCell is activated. Whether first CSI report was interrupted or not is checked by
monitoring ACK/NACK sent in PCell at the same time as the first CSI report.

3GPP
Release 15 1382 3GPP TS 36.133 V15.1.0 (2017-12)

During T2 the UE shall start sending CSI reports for SCell with non-zero CQI index at latest in a subframe (m+
Tactivate_basic_FS3)ms, L is the number of times the discovery signal occasion is not available at the UE during the SCell
activation time.

During T3 the UE shall stop sending CSI reports for SCell at latest in a subframe (m+8).

During T2 interruption of PCell during SCell activation shall not happen outside the subframes (m+5) to (m+11).

During T3 interruption of PCell during SCell deactivation shall not happen outside the subframes (n+5) to (n+11).

The interruption of PCell shall not be more than the values specified for intra-band CA and inter-band CA in Section
7.8.2.

All of the above test requirements shall be fulfilled in order for the observed SCell activation delay and SCell
deactivation delay to be counted as correct. The rate of correct observed SCell activation delay and SCell deactivation
delay during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: During T2 if there are no uplink resources for reporting the valid CSI in a subframe (m+ Tactivate_basic_FS3)ms,
L is the number of times the discovery signal occasion is not available at the UE during the SCell
activation time, then the UE shall use the next available uplink resource for reporting the corresponding
valid CSI.

A.8.26.3 E-UTRAN FDD-FS3 Event triggered reporting on deactivated FS3


SCell and FDD PCell interruption in non-DRX

A.8.26.3.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects event A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell)
defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the requirements stated in clause 8.12.2.4 while at the same time fulfilling the
requirement on interruption rate. This test is applicable to UEs that support a maximum of 1 FS3 SCell, ie UEs that
support a maximum of 2, 3, or 4 FS3 Scells are not required to pass this test.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.26.3.1-1 and A.8.26.3.1-2. It is indicated to the UE in the measurement
control information that event-triggered reporting with Event A6 is used.

In the test there are three synchronous cells: Cell1, Cell2 and Cell3. Cell1 is PCell on the FDD primary compenent (RF
Channel 1), Cell2 is deactivated SCell on the secondary component (RF Channel 2) for frame structure 3, and Cell3 is
the neighbour cell on the secondary component (RF Channel 3) for frame structure 3. Cell 2 and Cell 3 transmit
discovery signal with LBT model.

The test consists of two successive time periods, with duration of T1 and T2, respectively. During T1 the UE shall not
have any information of cell 3. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 3 is increased to same
level as for cell 2, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6. PCell is indicated by the
network using IE allowInterruptions and PDCCH indicating a new transmission on the PCell shall be sent continuously
to ensure that the UE sends ACK/ NACKs throughout the test.

A.8.26.4.2 Test Requirements


The UE shall send one Event A6 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than 4 + L*
measCycleSCell s from the beginning of time period T2.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The UE shall be scheduled on PCell continuously throughout the test. From the start of T1 until the measurement report
is received during T2, at least 99.5% of all expected ACK/NACKs shall be transmitted by the UE.

For a test to be considered successful requirements on both event detection and percentage of transmitted ACK/NACKs
have to be fulfilled simultaneously.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to 2xTTIDCCH higher than the measurement
reporting delays above because of TTI insertion uncertainty of the measurement report in DCCH.

A.8.26.4A E-UTRAN TDD-TDD 3DL Event triggered reporting on deactivated


FS3 SCell and FDD PCell interruption in non-DRX

A.8.26.4A.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects event A6 (Neighbour becomes better than SCell)
defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the requirements stated in clause 8.12.2.4 while at the same time fulfilling the
requirement on interruption rate. This test is applicable to UEs that support a maximum of 1 FS3 SCell, ie UEs that
support a maximum of 2, 3, or 4 FS3 Scells are not required to pass this test.

The test parameters are given in Table A.8.26.4A.1-1 and A.8.26.4A.1-2. It is indicated to the UE in the measurement
control information that event-triggered reporting with Event A6 is used.

In the test there are three synchronous cells: Cell1, Cell2, Cell3 and Cell4. Cell1 is PCell on the TDD primary
compenent (RF Channel 1), Cell2 is activated SCell on the secondary component (RF Channel 2) for frame structure 3,
Cell3 is deactivated SCell on the secondary component (RF Channel 3) for frame structure 3, and Cell4 is the neighbour
cell on the secondary component (RF Channel 3) for frame structure 3. Cell 2, Cell 3 and Cell 4 transmit discovery
signal with LBT model.

The test consists of two successive time periods, with duration of T1 and T2, respectively. During T1 the UE shall not
have any information of cell 4. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of cell 4 is increased to same
level as for cell 3, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6. PCell is indicated by the
network using IE allowInterruptions and PDCCH indicating a new transmission on the PCell shall be sent continuously
to ensure that the UE sends ACK/ NACKs throughout the test.

A.8.26.6.2 Test Requirements


In the test, the UE shall send one Event A6 triggered measurement report, with a measurement reporting delay less than
(24+L)*40ms from the beginning of time period T2, where L is the number of configured discovery signal occasions
which are not available due to the absence of the necessary radio signals from cell3.

The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the beginning of time period T2 to the moment when the
UE send the measurement report on PUSCH.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to 2xTTIDCCH higher than the measurement
reporting delays above because of TTI insertion uncertainty of the measurement report in DCCH.

A.8.26.6A E-UTRAN TDD-FS3 Intra-frequency event triggered reporting in


non-DRX for CRS based discovery signal with 2 SCells

A.8.26.6A.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of the test is to verify that the UE makes correct reporting of an event under operation with frame structure
3. The test will partly verify new intra-frequency FS3 cells in non-DRX requirements in clause 8.11.2. This test is
applicable to UEs that support a 2,3 or 4 FS3 SCells, ie UEs that support a maximum of 1 FS3 Scell are not required to
pass this test.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.26.6A.1-1and A.8.26.6A.1-2. In the measurement control information, it is
indicated to the UE performing CRS based discovery signals measurement and event-triggered reporting with Event A6
is configured.

There are five cells. Cell 1 is PCell on the TDD primary component (RF Channel 1), Cell 2 is activated SCell on the
secondary component (RF Channel 2) for Frame Structure 3, and Cell 3 is the neighbour cell on the secondary
component (RF Channel 2) frame structure 3. andCell 4 is activated SCell on the secondary component (RF Channel 3)
for Frame Structure 3.

The test consists of two successive time periods, with time duration of T1, and T2 respectively. During time duration
T1, the UE shall not have any timing information of cell 3. Immediately at beginning of T2 the transmission power of
cell 3 is increased, and due to usage of an offset this shall result in reporting of Event A6.

(24+L)*320ms from the beginning of time period T2, where L is the number of configured discovery signal occasions
which are not available due to the absence of the necessary radio signals from cell3.

The measurement reporting delay is defined as the time from the beginning of time period T2 to the moment when the
UE send the measurement report on PUSCH.

The UE shall not send event triggered measurement reports, as long as the reporting criteria are not fulfilled.

The rate of correct events observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

NOTE: The actual overall delays measured in the test may be up to 2xTTIDCCH higher than the measurement
reporting delays above because of TTI insertion uncertainty of the measurement report in DCCH.

A.8.26.9 E-UTRAN FDD-FS3 Inter-frequency event triggered reporting


under fading propagation conditions in synchronous cells

A.8.26.9.1 Test Purpose and Environment


The purpose of this test is to verify that the UE correctly detects event A4 (Neighbour becomes better than threshold)
defined in TS 36.331 [2] within the requirements stated in clause 8.3.3.2.1.

The test parameters are given in Tables A.8.26.9.1-1 and A.8.26.9.1-2 below. In this test, there are two cells on different
carrier frequencies. Cell 1 is an FDD cell and neighbouring Cell 2 is an FS3 cell.

In the measurement control information it is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Event A4 is used.
The test consists of two successive time periods, with time duration of T1, and T2 respectively. During time duration
T1, the UE shall not have any timing information of Cell 2.
