47427c363b8cb3a33a525cec081286b5 | 138 521-1 | 7.1I General | For a (e)Redcap UE the requirements in Section 7 shall be verified with the channel bandwidth up to 20MHz and REFSENS specified in clause 7.3I. |
47427c363b8cb3a33a525cec081286b5 | 138 521-1 | 7.1J General for ATG | Unless otherwise stated, the receiver characteristics are specified at the antenna connector(s) of the ATG UE with one or multiple omni-directional antenna(s) or at the transceiver array boundary (TAB) connectors of the ATG UE with the antenna array. The definition about transceiver array boundary (TAB) is specified in clause 4.3.2 of TS 38.104 [27]. For ATG UE with multiple omni-directional antennas not indicating the capability antennaArrayType-r18, the receiver RF requirements are defined on top of each antenna connector. For ATG UE with antenna array indicating the capability antennaArrayType-r18, the receiver RF requirements are defined on top of each TAB connector. |
47427c363b8cb3a33a525cec081286b5 | 138 521-1 | 7.2 Diversity characteristics | The UE is required to be equipped with a minimum of two Rx antenna ports in all operating bands except for the bands n7, n38, n41, n77, n78, n79, n104 where the UE is required to be equipped with a minimum of four Rx antenna ports. An exception is allowed for two Rx vehicular UE to be equipped with a minimum of two Rx antenna ports in bands n7, n38, n41, n77, n78, n79. This requirement applies when the band is used as a standalone band or as part of a band combination. For the single carrier REFSENS requirements in clause 7, the UE shall be verified with two Rx antenna ports in all supported frequency bands, additional requirements for four Rx ports shall be verified in operating bands where the UE is equipped with four Rx antenna ports, and additional requirements for four and eight Rx ports shall be verified in operating bands where the UE is equipped with eight Rx antenna ports. For Rx requirements other than single carrier REFSENS in Clause 7, the UE shall be verified with four Rx antenna ports and skip two Rx antenna ports requirements in operating bands where the UE is equipped with four Rx antenna ports, the UE shall be verified with eight Rx antenna ports and skip both two and four Rx antenna ports requirements in operating bands where the UE is equipped with eight Rx antenna ports unless the UE does not support eight Rx ports for band(s) in a band combination in which case those band(s) shall be verified with four Rx antenna ports, otherwise, the UE shall be verified with two Rx antenna ports. The above rules apply for all subclasses with the exception of clause 7.9. A (e)RedCap UE is required to be equipped with a minimum of single Rx antenna port and maximum of two Rx antenna ports. Clause 7 requirements for four Rx antenna ports do not apply to a (e)RedCap UE. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 19.2.0 Release 19 1663 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V19.2.0 (2025-11) ETSI |

47427c363b8cb3a33a525cec081286b5 | 138 521-1 | 7.3.1 General | The reference sensitivity power level REFSENS is the minimum mean power applied to each one of the UE antenna ports for all UE categories, at which the throughput shall meet or exceed the requirements for the specified reference measurement channel. In later clauses of Clause 7 where the value of REFSENS is used as a reference to set the corresponding requirement: - when the UE is verified with 2 Rx antenna ports, it shall be verified against those requirements by applying the REFSENS value in Table 7.3.2.3-1a, Table 7.3.2.3-1b and Table 7.3.2.3-1c or Table 7.3.2.3-1d with 2 Rx antenna ports tested; - when the UE is verified with 4 Rx antenna ports, it shall be verified against those requirements by applying the resulting REFSENS value derived from the requirement in Table 7.3.2.3-2 with 4 Rx antenna ports tested. - when the UE is verified with 8 Rx antenna ports, it shall be verified against those requirements by applying the resulting REFSENS value derived from the requirement in Table 7.3.2-2a with 8 Rx antenna ports tested. |
47427c363b8cb3a33a525cec081286b5 | 138 521-1 | 7.3.2 Reference sensitivity power level | Editor’s note: The following aspects are either missing or not yet determined: - MU and TT for f>6GHz are working assumption based on analysis of single TE vendor. Values will be revisited once analysis from other TE vendors is available. 7.3.2.1 Test purpose The test purpose is to verify the ability of the UE to receive data with a given average throughput for a specified reference measurement channel, under conditions of low signal level, ideal propagation and no added noise. 7.3.2.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward that don’t support RedCap. 7.3.2.3 Minimum conformance requirements The reference sensitivity power level REFSENS is the minimum mean power applied to each one of the UE antenna ports for all UE categories, at which the throughput shall meet or exceed the requirements for the specified reference measurement channel. The throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annexes A.2.2.2, A.2.3.2, A.3.2 and A.3.3 (with one sided dynamic OCNG Pattern OP.1 FDD/TDD for the DL-signal as described in Annex A.5.1.1/A.5.2.1) with parameters specified in Table 7.3.2.3-1a, 7.3.2.3-1b, Table 7.3.2.3-1c, Table 7.3.2.3-1d, Table 7.3.2.3-2 and Table 7.3.2.3-2a.

SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.3.2.4.1-1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Tables 7.3.2.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 3. Set the Downlink signal level to the appropriate REFSENS value defined in Table 7.3.2.5-1 if 2Rx antennas connected or Table 7.3.2.5-2 if 4Rx antennas connected. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE to ensure the UE transmits PUMAX level for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement. 4.

The reference sensitivity degradation for the victim band due to cross band isolation is specified only for the specific uplink and downlink test points specified in Table 7.3A.0.6-1 for either PC3 and PC2 NR CA from a PC3 aggressor NR UL band, and for PC2 NR CA, in Table 7.3A.0.6-3a from a PC2 aggressor NR UL band, and in Table 7.3A.0.6-3b from a PC1.5 aggressor NR single band uplink. In Tables 7.3A.0.6-1, 7.3A.0.6-3a and 7.3A.0.6-3b the following terminology is used to define the source of cross-band isolation interference: - "ACLR1" indicates that the first adjacent channel of the aggressor UL band falls into the Rx channel of victim band. - "ACLR2" indicates that the second adjacent channel of the aggressor UL band falls into the Rx channel of victim band. - ">ACLR2" indicates that neither the first, nor the second adjacent channel of the aggressor UL band falls into the Rx channel of victim band.

Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2 for all downlink physical channels. 2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 5.5.1. Message contents are defined in clause 7.3A.1.4.3. 3. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321 [18], clauses 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 38.133[19], clause 9.3). 4. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1-1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Tables 7.3A.1.4.1-1, 7.3A.1.4.1-2 and 7.3A.1.4.1-3 on both PCC and SCC. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 5. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.3A.1.4.1-1, 7.3A.1.4.1-2 and 7.3A.1.4.1-3 on PCC. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 6. Set the Downlink signal level to the appropriate REFSENS value defined in Tables 7.3.2.5-1, 7.3.2.5-2. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE to ensure the UE transmits PUMAX level for at least the duration of the throughput measurement. Allow at least 200ms starting from the first TPC command in this step for the UE to reach PUMAX level. 7. Measure the average throughput for each component carrier for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A. 7.3A.1.4.3 Message contents Message contents are according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.6 Table 4.6.3-118 with condition TRANSFORM_PRECODER_ENABLED. 7.3A.1.5 Test requirement For 2DL carrier aggregation, test parameters are specified in table 7.3A.1.4.1-1, 7.3A.1.4.1-2 and 7.3A.1.4.1-3.

Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 38.508-1 [5] Annex A, Figure A.3.1.1.3 for TE diagram and section A.3.2 for UE diagram. 2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.4.3. 3. Downlink signals for PCC are initially set up according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2, and C.3.1, and uplink signals according to Annex G.0, G.1, G.2, and G.3.1. 4. The UL and Reference Measurement Channel is set according to Tables 7.3A.1_1.4.1-1 and 7.3A.1_1.4.1-2. 5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0. 6. Ensure the UE is in State RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR, Connected without release On, Test Mode On and Test Loop Function On according to TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 4.5. Message contents are defined in clause 7.3A.1_1.4.3. 7.3A.1_1.4.2 Test procedure 1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2 for all downlink physical channels. 2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 5.5.1. Message contents are defined in clause 7.3A.1_1.1.4.3. 3. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321 [18], clauses 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 38.133[19], clause 9.3). 4.

Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 38.508-1 [5] Annex A, Figure A.3.1.1.3 for TE diagram and section A.3.2 for UE diagram. 2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.4.3. 3. Downlink signals for PCC are initially set up according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2, and C.3.1, and uplink signals according to Annex G.0, G.1, G.2, and G.3.1. 4. The UL and Reference Measurement Channel is set according to Tables 7.3A.2.1.4.1-1. 5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0. 6. Ensure the UE is in State RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR, Connected without release On, Test Mode On and Test Loop Function On according to TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 4.5. Message contents are defined in clause 7.3A.2.1.4.3. 7.3A.2.4.2 Test procedure 1. Configure SCCs according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2 for all downlink physical channels. 2. The SS shall configure SCCs as per TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 5.5.1. Message contents are defined in clause 7.3A.2.1.4.3. 3. SS activates SCCs by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321 [18], clauses 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 38.133[19], clause 9.3). 4. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1-1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Tables 7.3A.1.4.1-1 on both PCC and SCC. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC 5. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.3A.2.4.1-1 on PCC. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 6. Set the Downlink signal level to the appropriate REFSENS value defined in Tables 7.3.2.5-1 and 7.3.2.5-2 as appropriate. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE to ensure the UE transmits PUMAX level for at least the duration of the throughput measurement. Allow at least 200ms starting from the first TPC command in this step for the UE to reach PUMAX level. 7.

REFSENS_CA_ 3 REFSENS_CA_ 3 Note 1: CA Configuration Test CC Combination test settings are checked separately for each CA Configuration. Note 2: REFSENS refers to the PCC bands and PCC NRB ‘s single carrier Uplink RB allocation for reference sensitivity according to Table 7.3.2.4.1-3. REFSENS_CA_3 refers to the Uplink RB allocation for reference sensitivity exceptions due to intermodulation interference of 3DL/2UL according to Table 7.3A.0.5-2 for PC3. Note 3: In a band where UE supports 4Rx but not supports 8Rx, the test needs to be performed only with 4Rx antennas connected. In a band where UE supports 8Rx, the test needs to be performed only with 8Rx antennas connected. Note 4: This step can be skipped for PC2 since no corresponding exceptions are defined for PC2 cases in Table 7.3A.0.5-2a. Note 5: This test ID is for UL PC2 only. 1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 38.508-1 [5] Annex A, Figure A.3.1.1.3 for TE diagram and section A.3.2 for UE diagram. 2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.4.3. 3. Downlink signals for PCC are initially set up according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2, and C.3.1, and uplink signals according to Annex G.0, G.1, G.2, and G.3.1. 4. The UL and Reference Measurement Channel is set according to Tables 7.3A.2_1.4.1-1. 5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0. 6. Ensure the UE is in State RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR, Connected without release On, Test Mode On and Test Loop Function On according to TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 4.5. Message contents are defined in clause 7.3A.1_1.4.3. 7.3A.2_1.4.2 Test procedure 1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2 for all downlink physical channels. 2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 5.5.1. Message contents are defined in clause 7.3A.1_1.4.3. 3. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321 [18], clauses 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 38.133[19], clause 9.3). 4. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Tables 7.3A.2_1.4.1-1on PCC and SCCs. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC 5. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.2A.1.1.4.1-1 on both PCC and SCC. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 19.2.0 Release 19 1785 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V19.2.0 (2025-11) ETSI 6. Set the Downlink signal level to the appropriate REFSENS value defined in Table 7.3A.2_1.5-1 for PC3 CA. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE to ensure the UE transmits PUMAX level for at least the duration of the throughput measurement. Allow at least 200ms starting from the first TPC command in this step for the UE to reach PUMAX level. 7. Measure the average throughput for each component carrier for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A. 7.3A.2_1.4.3 Message contents Message contents are

Configure SCCs according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2 for all downlink physical channels. 2. The SS shall configure SCCs as per TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 5.5.1. Message contents are defined in clause 7.3A.3.1.4.3. 3. SS activates SCCs by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321 [18], clauses 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 38.133[19], clause 9.3). 4. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1-1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.3A.3.4.1-1 on both PCC and SCC. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC 5. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.3A.3.4.1-1 on PCC. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 6. Set the Downlink signal level to the appropriate REFSENS value defined in Tables 7.3.2.5-1 and 7.3.2.5-2 as appropriate. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE to ensure the UE transmits PUMAX level for at least the duration of the throughput measurement. Allow at least 200ms starting from the first TPC command in this step for the UE to reach PUMAX level. 7. Measure the average throughput for each component carrier for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A. 7.3A.3.4.3 Message contents Message contents are according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.6 Table 4.6.3-118 with condition TRANSFORM_PRECODER_ENABLED. 7.3A.3.5 Test requirement For 4DL carrier aggregation, test parameters are specified in table 7.3A.3.4.1-1.

Message contents are defined in clause 7.3C.2.4.3 7.3C.2.4.2 Test procedure 1 SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.3C.2.4.1-1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC on SUL band according to Tables 7.3C.2.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 3. Set the Downlink signal level to the appropriate REFSENS value defined in Table 7.3C.2.5-1a and Table 7.3C.2.5-1b for 2Rx and table 7.3C.2.5-2 for 4Rx and Table 7.3C.2.5-3 for 8Rx. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE to ensure the UE transmits PUMAX level for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement. 4. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2. 5.

For UE supporting IE supportOfERedCap-r18 but not supporting eRedCapNotReducedBB-BW-r18, the reference sensitivity requirements for 5 MHz channel bandwidth with 15 kHz SCS defined in clause 7.3I.2 apply. These reference sensitivity requirements for 5 MHz channel bandwidth apply also for 10, 15 and 20 MHz channel bandwidths with 15 kHz SCS. In case the reference sensitivity requirements for 5 MHz channel bandwidth are not defined, the reference sensitivity requirements for 10 MHz channel bandwidth apply with the reference sensitivity level reduced by 3.2 dB, and the UL configuration shall be less than or equal to minimum between RB number specified in Table 7.3I.2-4 and 25 RBs for HD-FDD operation, and minimum between RB number specified in Table 7.3.2-3 and 25RBs otherwise. These reference sensitivity requirements for 10 MHz channel bandwidth apply also for 15 and 20 MHz channel bandwidths. Both Tx RBs in UL configuration and Rx RBs in FRC, when applicable, shall be allocated within the range from RBlow = ceil(NRB/2 - NRB_PR3/2) to RBhigh = RBlow + NRB_PR3 -1, where RBlow and RBhigh are the lowest and highest available RB position and NRB_PR3 is 25 RBs for 15 kHz SCS. For UE supporting IE supportOfERedCap-r18 but not supporting eRedCapNotReducedBB-BW-r18, for 30 kHz SCS, the reference sensitivity requirements defined for 10 MHz channel bandwidth in clause 7.3I.2 apply with reference sensitivity level reduced by 3.0 dB and the UL configuration shall be less than or equal to minimum between RB number specified in Table 7.3I.2-4 and 12 RBs for HD-FDD operation, and minimum between RB number specified in Table 7.3.2-3 and 12RBs otherwise. These reference sensitivity requirements for 10 MHz channel bandwidth apply also for 15 and 20 MHz channel bandwidths with 30 kHz SCS. Both Tx RBs in UL configuration and Rx RBs in FRC, when applicable, shall be allocated within the range from RBlow = ceil(NRB/2 - NRB_PR3/2) to RBhigh = RBlow + NRB_PR3 -1, where RBlow and RBhigh are the lowest and highest available RB position and NRB_PR3 is 12 RBs for 30 kHz SCS. NOTE: It is not necessary to repeat verification when same requirement applies for multiple channel bandwidths. The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-1 [2] clause 7.3I.3. 7.3I.3.4 Test description 7.3I.3.4.1 Initial conditions For eRedCap UE supporting IE eRedCapNotReducedBB-BW-r18, same initial conditions as in 7.3I.2.4.1 with following exception: For eRedCap UE not supporting eRedCapNotReducedBB-BW-r18, same initial conditions as in 7.3I.2.4.1 with following exception: - The test channel bandwidth are specified in TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.3.1 for RedCap. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 19.2.0 Release 19 1847 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V19.2.0 (2025-11) ETSI - The downlink RB allocation in test configuration table refers to Table 7.3I.3.4.1-1 - The uplink RB allocation in test configuration table refers to Table 7.3I.3.4.1-2 for FDD and TDD eRedCap UE, and Table 7.3I.3.4.1-3 for HD-FDD eRedCap UE respectively.

Values will be revisited once analysis from other TE vendors is available. 7.5.1 Test purpose Adjacent channel selectivity (ACS) is a measure of a receiver's ability to receive an NR signal at its assigned channel frequency in the presence of an adjacent channel signal at a given frequency offset from the centre frequency of the assigned channel. ACS is the ratio of the receive filter attenuation on the assigned channel frequency to the receive filter attenuation on the adjacent channel(s). 7.5.2 Test applicability This test applies to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward. 7.5.3 Minimum conformance requirements The UE shall fulfil the minimum requirements specified in Table 7.5.3-1 for NR bands with FDL_high < 2700 MHz and FUL_high < 2700 MHz and the minimum requirements specified in Table 7.5.3-2. for NR bands with FDL_low ≥ 3300 MHz and FUL_low ≥ 3300 MHz. These requirements apply for all values of an adjacent channel interferer up to -25 dBm and for any SCS specified for the channel bandwidth of the wanted signal. However, it is not possible to directly measure the ACS; instead the lower and upper range of test parameters are chosen as in Table 7.5.3-3 and Table 7.5.3-4 for verification of the requirements specified in Table 7.5.3-1 and as in Table 7.5.3-5, and Table 7.5.3-6 for verification of the requirements specified in Table 7.5.3-2.

Message content are defined in clause 7.5.4.3. 7.5.4.2 Test procedure 1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.5.4.1-1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 19.2.0 Release 19 1894 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V19.2.0 (2025-11) ETSI 2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.5.4.1-1. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 3. Set the Downlink signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5.5-2 or Table 7.5.5-5 as appropriate (Case 1). Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.5.5-2 or Table 7.5.5-5 for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where: - MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW - Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.3-1. - For UEs supporting Tx diversity, the transmit power is measured as the sum of the output power from both UE antenna connectors. 4.

Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H. 6. Repeat steps from 3 to 5, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal in Case 1 at step 4. 7. Set the Downlink signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5.5-3 or Table 7.5.5-6 as appropriate (Case 2). Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.5.5-3 or Table 7.5.5-6 for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where MU and Uplink power control window size are defined above. 8. Set the Interferer signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5.5-3 or Table 7.5.5-6 as appropriate (Case 2) and frequency below the wanted signal, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D. 9. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H. 10. Repeat steps from 7 to 9, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal in Case 2 at step 8. 11.

NOTE 7: For nXA PCC, each of Highest UL and Highest DL shall be selected according to clause 5.5A.3.2. DL channel bandwidth shall be selected first. 1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 38.508-1 [5] Annex A, Figure A.3.1.1.3 for TE diagram and section A.3.2 for UE diagram. 2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.4.3. 3. Downlink signals are initially set up according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2, and C.3.1, and uplink signals according to Annex G.0, G.1, G.2, and G.3.1. 4. The DL and UL Reference Measurement Channels are set according to Table 7.5A.2.4.1-1. 5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 19.2.0 Release 19 1912 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V19.2.0 (2025-11) ETSI 6. Ensure the UE is in State RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR, Connected without release On, Test Mode On and Test Loop Function On according to TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 4.5. Message contents are defined in clause 7.5A.2.4.3. Table 7.5A.2.4.1-2: Void Table 7.5A.2.4.1-3: Void 7.5A.2.4.2 Test Procedure 1. Configure SCCs according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2 for all downlink physical channels. 2. The SS shall configure SCCs as per TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 5.1.1. Message contents are defined in clause 7.5A.2.4.3. 3. SS activates SCCs by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321 [18], clauses 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 38.133[19], clause9.3). 4. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.5A.2.4.1-1 on both PCC and SCCs. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 5. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.5A.2.4.1-1 on PCC. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 6. Set the Downlink signal level according to Table 7.5A.2.4.2-1 as appropriate (Case 1). Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.5A.2.4.2-1 for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where: - MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW - Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system relative power measurement uncertainty is specified for test case 6.3.4.3 in Table F.1.2-1. - For UEs supporting Tx diversity, the transmit power is measured as the sum of the output power from both UE antenna connectors. 7. Set the Interferer signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5A.2.4.2-1 as appropriate (Case 1) and frequency below the wanted signal, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D, excluding the frequencies where the interferer centre frequency falls within any CC carrier ±(BW/2 + BWInterferer), where BW refers to each CC. 8. Measure the average throughput for the carrier(s) indicated in Table 7.5A.2.4.2-1 for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A. 9. Repeat steps from 6 to 8, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal in Case 1 at step 7. 10. Set the Downlink signal level according to Table 7.5A.2.4.2-1 as appropriate (Case 2). Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.5A.2.4.2-1 for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where MU and Uplink power control window size are defined above. 11. Set the Interferer signal level to the value as defined in 7.5A.2.4.2-1 as appropriate (Case 2) and frequency below the wanted signal, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D, excluding the frequencies where the interferer centre frequency falls within any CC carrier ±(BW/2 + BWInterferer), where BW refers to each CC. 12. Measure the average throughput for the carrier(s) indicated in Table 7.5A.2.4.2-1 for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 19.2.0 Release 19 1913 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V19.2.0 (2025-11) ETSI 13. Repeat steps from 10 to 12, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal in Case 2 at step 11. 14. Repeat for applicable channel bandwidths and operating band combinations in both Case 1 and Case 2. NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F.4.3.

Table 7.5A.3.4.1-2: Void Table 7.5A.3.4.1-3: Void 7.5A.3.4.2 Test Procedure 1. Configure SCCs according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2 for all downlink physical channels. 2. The SS shall configure SCCs as per TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 5.1.1. Message contents are defined in clause 7.5A.3.4.3. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 19.2.0 Release 19 1920 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V19.2.0 (2025-11) ETSI 3. SS activates SCCs by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321 [18], clauses 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 38.133[19], clause9.3). 4. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.5A.3.4.1-1 on both PCC and SCCs. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 5. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.5A.3.4.2-1 on PCC. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 6. Set the Downlink signal level according to Table 7.5A.3.4.2-1 as appropriate (Case 1). Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.5A.3.4.2-1 for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where: - MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW - Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system relative power measurement uncertainty is specified for test case 6.3.4.3 in Table F.1.2-1. - For UEs supporting Tx diversity, the transmit power is measured as the sum of the output power from both UE antenna connectors. 7. Set the Interferer signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5A.3.4.2-1 as appropriate (Case 1) and frequency below the wanted signal, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D, excluding the frequencies where the interferer centre frequency falls within any CC carrier ±(BW/2 + BWInterferer), where BW refers to each CC. 8. Measure the average throughput for each component carrier for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A. 9. Repeat steps from 6 to 8, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal in Case 1 at step 7. 10. Set the Downlink signal level according to Table 7.5A.3.4.2-1 as appropriate (Case 2). Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.5A.3.4.2-1 for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where MU and Uplink power control window size are defined above. 11. Set the Interferer signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5A.3.4.2-1 as appropriate (Case 2) and frequency below the wanted signal, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D, excluding the frequencies where the interferer centre frequency falls within any CC carrier ±(BW/2 + BWInterferer), where BW refers to each CC. 12. Measure the average throughput for each component carrier for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A. 13. Repeat steps from 10 to 12, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal in Case 2 at step 11. 14. Repeat for applicable channel bandwidths and operating band combinations in both Case 1 and Case 2. NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F.4.3.

47427c363b8cb3a33a525cec081286b5 | 138 521-1 | 7.5A.4 Adjacent channel selectivity for CA (5DL CA) | Editor’s Note: - Test Configuration Table and test repetition and measurement configuration are TBD. - RefSens for 5DL CA is FFS 7.5A.4.1 Test Purpose Adjacent channel selectivity for 5DL CA verifies the receiver's ability to receive a wanted 5DL carrier aggregated at its assigned channel frequency in the presence of an adjacent channel signal at a given frequency offset from the centre frequency of the assigned channel. 7.5A.4.2 Test Applicability This test case applies to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward that support 5DL CA. 7.5A.4.3 Minimum Conformance Requirements The minimum conformance requirements are defined in clause 7.5A.0. 7.5A.4.4 Test Description 7.5A.4.4.1 Initial Conditions Initial conditions are a set of test configurations the UE needs to be tested in and the steps for the SS to take with the UE to reach the correct measurement state. The initial test configurations consist of environmental conditions, test frequencies, test channel bandwidths and sub- carrier spacing based on NR CA configuration specified in clause 5.5A. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each CA configuration, are shown in Table 7.5A.4.4.1-1. The details of the uplink and downlink reference measurement channels (RMC) are specified in Annexes A.2 and A.3. Configuration of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2. Table 7.5A.4.4.1-1: Test Configuration Table for 5DL CA [TBD] 1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 38.508-1 [5] Annex A, Figure A.3.1.1.3 for TE diagram and section A.3.2 for UE diagram. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 19.2.0 Release 19 1926 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V19.2.0 (2025-11) ETSI 2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.4.3. 3. Downlink signals are initially set up according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2, and C.3.1, and uplink signals according to Annex G.0, G.1, G.2, and G.3.1. 4. The DL and UL Reference Measurement Channels are set according to Table 7.5A.2.4.1-1. 5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0. 6. Ensure the UE is in State RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR, Connected without release On, Test Mode On and Test Loop Function On according to TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 4.5. Message contents are defined in clause 7.5A.4.4.3. 7.5A.4.4.2 Test Procedure 1. Configure SCCs according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2 for all downlink physical channels. 2. The SS shall configure SCCs as per TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 5.1.1. Message contents are defined in clause 7.5A.4.4.3. 3. SS activates SCCs by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321 [18], clauses 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 38.133[19], clause 9.3). 4. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.5A.4.4.1-1 on both PCC and SCCs. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 5. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.5A.4.4.2-1 on PCC. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 6. Set the Downlink signal level according to Table 7.5A.4.4.2-1 as appropriate (Case 1). Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.5A.4.4.2-1 for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where: - MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW - Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where the UE power step tolerance is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system relative power measurement uncertainty is specified for test case 6.3.4.3 in Table F.1.2-1. - For UEs supporting Tx diversity, the transmit power is measured as the sum of the output power from both UE antenna connectors. 7. Set the Interferer signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5A.4.4.2-1 as appropriate (Case 1) and frequency below the wanted signal, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D, excluding the frequencies where the interferer centre frequency falls within any CC carrier ±(BW/2 + BWInterferer), where BW refers to each CC. 8. Measure the average throughput for each component carrier for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A. 9. Repeat steps from 6 to 8, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal in Case 1 at step 7. 10. Set the Downlink signal level according to Table 7.5A.4.4.2-1 as appropriate (Case 2). Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.5A.4.4.2-1 for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where MU and Uplink power control window size are defined above. 11. Set the Interferer signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5A.4.4.2-1 as appropriate (Case 2) and frequency below the wanted signal, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D, excluding the 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 19.2.0 Release 19 1927 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V19.2.0 (2025-11) ETSI frequencies where the interferer centre frequency falls within any CC carrier ±(BW/2 + BWInterferer), where BW refers to each CC. 12. Measure the average throughput for each component carrier for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A. 13. Repeat steps from 10 to 12, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal in Case 2 at step 11. 14. Repeat for applicable channel bandwidths and operating band combinations in both Case 1 and Case 2. NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F.4.3.

ACS is the ratio of the receive filter attenuation on the assigned channel frequency to the receive filter attenuation on the adjacent channel(s). The UE shall fulfil the minimum requirements specified in Table 7.5E.0.1-1 for NR V2X UE. These requirements apply for all values of an adjacent channel interferer up to -25 dBm and for any SCS specified for the channel bandwidth of the wanted signal. However, it is not possible to directly measure the ACS; instead the lower and upper range of test parameters are chosen as in Table 7.5E.0.1-2 and Table 7.5E.0.1-3 for verification of the requirements specified in Table 7.5E.0.1-1. For these test parameters, when UE is configured for NR V2X reception non-concurrent with NR uplink transmissions for NR V2X operating bands specified in Table 5.2E.1-1, the throughput shall be ≥ 95 % of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annexes A.7.2. In licensed band, the minimum requirements shall reuse the same ACS values with NR UE.

The following aspects are either missing or not yet determined: - MU are FFS for ATG UEs with more than 2 transmit antenna connectors/ transceiver array boundary (TAB) connectors. - MU already defined are based on preliminary analysis of single TE vendor. Values will be revisited once more detailed analysis, including analysis from other TE vendors, is available. 7.5J.1 Test purpose Adjacent channel selectivity (ACS) is a measure of a receiver's ability to receive an NR signal at its assigned channel frequency in the presence of an adjacent channel signal at a given frequency offset from the centre frequency of the assigned channel. ACS is the ratio of the receive filter attenuation on the assigned channel frequency to the receive filter attenuation on the adjacent channel(s). 7.5J.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR UE release 18 and forward that support NR standalone ATG. 7.5J.3 Minimum conformance requirements Adjacent channel selectivity (ACS) is a measure of a receiver's ability to receive an NR signal at its assigned channel frequency in the presence of an adjacent channel signal at a given frequency offset from the centre frequency of the assigned channel. ACS is the ratio of the receive filter attenuation on the assigned channel frequency to the receive filter attenuation on the adjacent channel(s). The UE shall fulfil the minimum requirements specified in Table 7.5J.3-1 for NR bands with FDL_high < 2700 MHz and FUL_high < 2700 MHz and the minimum requirements specified in Table 7.5J.3-2 for NR bands with FDL_low ≥ 3300 MHz and FUL_low ≥ 3300 MHz. These requirements apply for all values of an adjacent channel interferer up to - 42 dBm with omni-directional antenna and -30dBm with antenna array for any SCS specified for the channel bandwidth of the wanted signal. However, it is not possible to directly measure the ACS; instead the lower and upper range of test parameters are chosen as in Table 7.5J.3-3 and Table 7.5J.3-4 for verification of the requirements specified in Table 7.5J.3-1, and as in Table 7.5J.3-5 and Table 7.5J.3-6 for verification of the requirements specified in Table 7.5J.3-2. For these test parameters, the throughput shall be ≥ 95 % of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annexes A.2.2, A.3.2, and A.3.3 (with one sided dynamic OCNG Pattern OP.1 FDD/TDD for the DL-signal as described in Annex A.5.1.1/A.5.2.1).

Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 38.508-1 [5] Annex A, in Figure A.3.1.4.1 for TE diagram and section A.3.2 for UE diagram. 2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.4.3. 3. Downlink signals are initially set up according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2, C.3.1, and uplink signals according to Annex G.0, G.1, G.2, G.3.1. 4. The DL and UL Reference Measurement channels are set according to Table 7.5J.4.1-1. 5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0. 6. Ensure the UE is in state RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR, Connected without release On, Test Mode On and Test Loop Function On according to TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 4.5. Message content are defined in clause 7.5J.4.3. 7.5J.4.2 Test procedure 1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.5J.4.1-1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.5J.4.1-1. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 3. Set the Downlink signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5J.5-2 or Table 7.5J.5-5 as appropriate (Case 1). Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.5J.5-2 or Table 7.5J.5-5 for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where: - MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW - Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.3-1. - The transmit power is measured as the sum of power of all antenna connectors (for ATG UE with omni- directional antennas) or of all TAB connectors (for ATG UE with antenna array). 4. Set the Interferer signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5J.5-2 or Table 7.5J.5-5 as appropriate (Case 1) and frequency below the wanted signal, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D. 5. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H. 6. Repeat steps from 3 to 5, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal in Case 1 at step 4. 7. Set the Downlink signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5J.5-3 or Table 7.5J.5-6 as appropriate (Case 2). Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.5J.5-3 or Table 7.5J.5-6 for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where MU and Uplink power control window size are defined above. 8. Set the Interferer signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5J.5-3 or Table 7.5J.5-6 as appropriate (Case 2) and frequency below the wanted signal, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 19.2.0 Release 19 1953 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V19.2.0 (2025-11) ETSI 9. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H. 10. Repeat steps from 7 to 9, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal in Case 2 at step 8. 11. Repeat for applicable channel bandwidths and operating band combinations in both Case 1 and Case 2. NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level.

Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 38.508-1 [5] Annex A, in Figure A.3.1.4.1 for TE diagram and section A.3.2 for UE diagram. 2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.4.3. 3. Downlink signals are initially set up according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2, C.3.1, and uplink signals according to Annex G.0, G.1, G.2, G.3.1. 4. The DL and UL Reference Measurement channels are set according to Table 7.6.2.4.1-1. 5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0. 6. Ensure the UE is in state RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR, Connected without release On, Test Mode On and Test Loop Function On according to TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 4.5. Message content are defined in clause 7.6.2.4.3. 7.6.2.4.2 Test procedure 1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.6.2.4.1-1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.6.2.4.1-1. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 3. Set the parameters of the signal generator for an interfering signal below the wanted signal in Case 1 according to Tables 7.6.2.5-1 and 7.6.2.5-2 or Tables 7.6.2.5-3 and 7.6.2.5-4 as appropriate depending on NR band. 4. Set the downlink signal level according to the table 7.6.2.5-1 or 7.6.2.5-3 as appropriate. Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.6.2.5-1 or Table 7.6.2.5-3 for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where: - MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW. - Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system relative power measurement uncertainty is specified for test case 6.3.4.3 in Table F.1.2-1. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 19.2.0 Release 19 1959 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V19.2.0 (2025-11) ETSI - For UEs supporting Tx diversity, the transmit power is measured as the sum of the output power from both UE antenna connectors. 5. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H. 6. Repeat steps from 3 to 5, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal in Case 1 at step 3. 7. Repeat steps from 3 to 6, using interfering signals in Case 2 at step 3and 6. The ranges of case 2 are covered in steps equal to the interferer bandwidth. Interferer frequencies should be chosen starting with an offset nearest to the centre frequency and sweep outwards towards the band edges. In order to ensure that full range is tested for interferer frequency, run last test steps at frequency equal to FInterferer range limit defined at the corresponding band edge. 8. If applicable based on NR band, repeat steps from 3 to 5, using interfering signals in Case 3 at step 3. 9. If applicable based on NR band, repeat steps from 3 to 5, using interfering signals in Case 4 at step 3. NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level.

SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.6.3.4.1-1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.6.3.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 3. Set the parameters of the CW signal generator for an interfering signal below the wanted signal according to Table 7.6.3.5-2 or 7.6.3.5-4. The frequency step size is )5, 2 / min( channel BW MHz. 4. Set the downlink signal level according to the table 7.6.3.5-1 or 7.6.3.5-3. Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.6.3.5-1 or Table 7.6.3.5-3 for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where: - MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW - Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system relative power measurement uncertainty is specified for test case 6.3.4.3 in Table F.1.2-1. - For UEs supporting Tx diversity, the transmit power is measured as the sum of the output power from both UE antenna connectors. 5. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H. 6. Record the frequencies for which the throughput doesn't meet the requirements. 7. Repeat steps from 3 to 6, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal at step 3. NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F.4.3. 7.6.3.4.3 Message Contents Message contents are according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.6 ensuring Table 4.6.3-118 with condition TRANSFORM_PRECODER_ENABLED. 7.6.3.5 Test Requirement For NR bands with FDL_high < 2700 MHz and FUL_high < 2700 MHz, the throughput measurement derived in test procedure shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annex A.3.2 and A.3.3 with parameters specified in Tables 7.6.3.5-1 and 7.6.3.5-2.

Message contents are defined in clause 7.6.4.4.3. 7.6.4.4.2 Test Procedure 1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.6.4.4.1-1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 19.2.0 Release 19 1970 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V19.2.0 (2025-11) ETSI 2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.6.4.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 3. Set the parameters of the CW signal generator for an interfering signal below the wanted signal according to Table 7.6.4.5-1. 4. Set the downlink signal level according to the table 7.6.4.5-1. Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.6.4.5-1 for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where: - MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW - Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system relative power measurement uncertainty is specified for test case 6.3.4.3 in Table F.1.2-1. - For UEs supporting Tx diversity, the transmit power is measured as the sum of the output power from both UE antenna connectors. 5. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2. 6. Repeat steps from 3 to 5, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal at step 3. NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F.4.3. 7.6.4.4.3 Message Contents Message contents are according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.6 ensuring Table 4.6.3-118 with condition TRANSFORM_PRECODER_ENABLED. 7.6.4.5 Test Requirement The throughput measurement derived in test procedure shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annex A.3.2 and A.3.3 with parameters specified in Table 7.6.4.5-1.

Ensure the UE is in state RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR, Connected without release On, Test Mode On and Test Loop Function On according to TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 4.5. Message content are defined in clause 7.6A.2.1.4.3. 7.6A.2.1.4.2 Test procedure 1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2 for all downlink physical channels. 2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 5.5.1. Message contents are defined in clause 7.6A.2.1.4.3. 3. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321 [18], clauses 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 38.133[19], clause 9.3). 4. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Tables 7.6A.2.1.4.1-1, 7.6A.2.1.4.1-2 or 7.6A.2.1.4.1-3 on both SCC and PCC. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 5. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Tables 7.6A.2.1.4.1-1, 7.6A.2.1.4.1-2 or 7.6A.2.1.4.1-3 on PCC. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 6. For Intra-band contiguous CA: Set the parameters of the signal generator for an interfering signal below the aggregated component carriers in Case 1 according to Tables 7.6A.2.1.5.1-1 and 7.6A.2.1.5.1-2 or Tables 7.6A.2.1.5.1-1a and 7.6A.2.1.5.1-2a as appropriate depending on NR band. For Inter-band CA: Set the parameters of the signal generator for an interfering signal below the SCC’s wanted signal in Case 1 according to Tables 7.6A.2.1.5.3-1 and 7.6A.2.1.5.3-2 or Tables 7.6A.2.1.5.3-1a and 7.6A.2.1.5.3-2a as appropriate depending on NR band, excluding the frequencies where the interferer centre frequency falls within any CC carrier ±(BW/2 + BWInterferer), where BW refers to each CC. For Intra-band non-contiguous CA: Set the parameters of the signal generator for an interfering signal below the PCC’s wanted signal in Case 1 according to 7.6A.2.1.5.3-1 and 7.6A.2.1.5.3-2 or Tables 7.6A.2.1.5.3-1a and 7.6A.2.1.5.3-2a as appropriate depending on NR bands as appropriate, excluding the frequencies where the interferer centre frequency falls within any CC carrier ±(BW/2 + BWInterferer), where BW refers to each CC. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 19.2.0 Release 19 1976 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V19.2.0 (2025-11) ETSI 7. Set the downlink signal level on both carriers according to the table 7.6A.2.1.5.1-1, 7.6A.2.1.5.1-1a or 7.6A.2.1.5.3-1, 7.6A.2.1.5.3-1a as appropriate. Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in table 7.6A.2.1.5.1-1, 7.6A.2.1.5.1-1a or 7.6A.2.1.5.3-1, 7.6A.2.1.5.3-1a for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where: - MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW - Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system relative power measurement uncertainty is specified for test case 6.3.4.3 in Table F.1.2-1. - For UEs supporting Tx diversity, the transmit power is measured as the sum of the output power from both UE antenna connectors. 8. For Intra-band contiguous CA: Measure the average throughput of both carriers for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A. For Inter-band CA: Measure the average throughput of SCC for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A. For Intra-band non-contiguous CA: Measure the average throughput of PCC for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A. 9. Repeat steps from 6 to 8, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal in Case 1 at step 6. 10. For Intra-band non-contiguous only: Repeat steps from 6 to 9, using an interfering signal below and above the SCC in Case 1 and measuring SCC instead of PCC in step 8, excluding the frequencies where the interferer centre frequency falls within PCC carrier ±(BW/2 + FIoffset,case 1), where BW & offset refer to PCC. 11. Repeat steps from 6 to 10, using interfering signals in Case 2 at step 6 and 9. The ranges of case 2 are covered in steps equal to the interferer bandwidth. For inter-band CA: skip the testing at interfering signal frequencies where interfering signal bandwidth overlaps with PCC bandwidth. 12. Repeat steps from 6 to 10, using interfering signals in Case 3 as applicable at step 6and 9. The ranges of case 3 are covered in steps equal to the interferer bandwidth. For inter-band CA: skip the testing at interfering signal frequencies where interfering signal bandwidth overlaps with PCC bandwidth. 13. For Inter-band CA only: Repeat steps from 1 to 12 setting the original PCell as SCell and the original SCell as PCell in the corresponding CA configuration, except for operating bands without uplink band. NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F.4.3. 7.6A.2.1.4.3 Message contents Message contents are according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.6 with TRANSFORM_PRECODER_ENABLED condition in Table 4.6.3-118 PUSCH-Config. 7.6A.2.1.5 Test requirement 7.6A.2.1.5.1 Intra-band contiguous 2DL CA The throughput of each carrier shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annexes A.2.2, A.2.3, A.3.2, and A.3.3 (with one sided dynamic OCNG Pattern OP.1 FDD/TDD for the DL-signal as described in Annex A.5.1.1/A.5.2.1) with parameters defined in 7.6A.2.1.5.1-1a and 7.6A.2.1.5.1-2a.
