4 General

4.1 Relationship between minimum requirements and test

requirements
The Minimum Requirements given in this specification make no allowance for measurement uncertainty. The test
specification TS 36.521-1 Annex F defines Test Tolerances. These Test Tolerances are individually calculated for each
test. The Test Tolerances are used to relax the Minimum Requirements in this specification to create Test Requirements.

The measurement results returned by the Test System are compared - without any modification - against the Test
Requirements as defined by the shared risk principle.

The Shared Risk principle is defined in ITU-R M.1545 [3].

4.2 Applicability of minimum requirements

a) In this specification the Minimum Requirements are specified as general requirements and additional requirements.
Where the Requirement is specified as a general requirement, the requirement is mandated to be met in all scenarios

b) For specific scenarios for which an additional requirement is specified, in addition to meeting the general
requirement, the UE is mandated to meet the additional requirements.

c) The reference sensitivity power levels defined in subclause 7.3 are valid for the specified reference measurement
channels.

d) Note: Receiver sensitivity degradation may occur when:

1) the UE simultaneously transmits and receives with bandwidth allocations less than the transmission bandwidth
configuration (see Figure 5.6-1), and

2) any part of the downlink transmission bandwidth is within an uplink transmission bandwidth from the downlink
center subcarrier.

e) The spurious emissions power requirements are for the long term average of the power. For the purpose of reducing
measurement uncertainty it is acceptable to average the measured power over a period of time sufficient to reduce
the uncertainty due to the statistical nature of the signal.

4.3 (Void)

4.4 RF requirements in later releases

The standardisation of new frequency bands may be independent of a release. However, in order to implement a UE that
conforms to a particular release but supports a band of operation that is specified in a later release, it is necessary to
specify some extra requirements. TS 36.307 [8] specifies requirements on UEs supporting a frequency band that is
independent of release.

NOTE: For terminals conforming to the 3GPP release of the present document, some RF requirements in later
releases may be mandatory independent of whether the UE supports the bands specified in later releases
or not. The set of requirements from later releases that is also mandatory for UEs conforming to the 3GPP
release of the present document is determined by regional regulation.

NOTE 1: refers to the bandwidth for which a relaxation of the specified UE receiver
sensitivity requirement (subClause 7.3) is allowed.
NOTE 2: bandwidth for which the uplink transmission bandwidth can be restricted by
the network for some channel assignments in FDD/TDD co-existence
scenarios in order to meet unwanted emissions requirements (Clause
6.6.3.2).

b) The use of different (asymmetrical) channel bandwidth for the TX and RX is not precluded and is intended to
form part of a later release.

5.7 Channel arrangement

5.7.1 Channel spacing
The spacing between carriers will depend on the deployment scenario, the size of the frequency block available and the
channel bandwidths. The nominal channel spacing between two adjacent E-UTRA carriers is defined as following:

Nominal Channel spacing = (BWChannel(1) + BWChannel(2))/2

where BWChannel(1) and BWChannel(2) are the channel bandwidths of the two respective E-UTRA carriers. The channel
spacing can be adjusted to optimize performance in a particular deployment scenario.

3GPP TS 36.101 version 9.13.1 Release 9 18 ETSI TS 136 101 V9.13.1 (2013-01)

5.7.2 Channel raster

The channel raster is 100 kHz for all bands, which means that the carrier centre frequency must be an integer multiple
of 100 kHz.

5.7.3 Carrier frequency and EARFCN

The carrier frequency in the uplink and downlink is designated by the E-UTRA Absolute Radio Frequency Channel
Number (EARFCN) in the range 0 - 65535. The relation between EARFCN and the carrier frequency in MHz for the
downlink is given by the following equation, where FDL_low and NOffs-DL are given in Table 5.7.3-1 and NDL is the
downlink EARFCN.

FDL = FDL_low + 0.1(NDL – NOffs-DL)

The relation between EARFCN and the carrier frequency in MHz for the uplink is given by the following equation
where FUL_low and NOffs-UL are given in Table 5.7.3-1 and NUL is the uplink EARFCN.

6.3.5 Power control

6.3.5.1 Absolute power tolerance

Absolute power tolerance is the ability of the UE transmitter to set its initial output power to a specific value for the first
sub-frame at the start of a contiguous transmission or non-contiguous transmission with a transmission gap larger than
20ms. This tolerance includes the channel estimation error (the absolute RSRP accuracy requirement specified in
subclause 9.1 of TS 36.133)
In the case of a PRACH transmission, the absolute tolerance is specified for the first preamble. The absolute power
tolerance includes the channel estimation error (the absolute RSRP accuracy requirement specified in subclause 9.1 of
TS 36.133).

6.3.5.1.1 Minimum requirements

The minimum requirement for absolute power tolerance is given in Table 6.3.5.1.1-1 over the power range bounded by
the Maximum output power as defined in subclause 6.2.2 and the Minimum output power as defined in subclause 6.3.2.

For operating bands under Note 2 in Table 6.2.2-1, the absolute power tolerance as specified in Table 6.3.5.1.1-1 is
relaxed by reducing the lower limit by 1.5 dB when the transmission bandwidth is confined within FUL_low and FUL_low +
4 MHz or FUL_high – 4 MHz and FUL_high.

Table 6.3.5.1.1-1: Absolute power tolerance

Conditions Tolerance

Normal ± 9.0 dB

Extreme ± 12.0 dB

6.3.5.2 Relative Power tolerance

The relative power tolerance is the ability of the UE transmitter to set its output power in a target sub-frame relatively to
the power of the most recently transmitted reference sub-frame if the transmission gap between these sub-frames is ≤ 20
ms.
For PRACH transmission, the relative tolerance is the ability of the UE transmitter to set its output power relatively to
the power of the most recently transmitted preamble. The measurement period for the PRACH preamble is specified in
Table 6.3.4.2-1.

ETSI
3GPP TS 36.101 version 9.13.1 Release 9 30 ETSI TS 136 101 V9.13.1 (2013-01)

6.3.5.2.1 Minimum requirements

The requirements specified in Table 6.3.5.2.1-1 apply when the power of the target and reference sub-frames are within
the power range bounded by the Minimum output power as defined in subclause 6.3.2 and the measured PUMAX as
defined in subclause 6.2.5 (i.e, the actual power as would be measured assuming no measurement error). This power
shall be within the power limits specified in subclause 6.2.5.

To account for RF Power amplifier mode changes 2 exceptions are allowed for each of two test patterns. The test
patterns are a monotonically increasing power sweep and a monotonically decreasing power sweep over a range
bounded by the requirements of minimum power and maximum power specified in subclauses 6.3.2 and 6.2.2. For
these exceptions the power tolerance limit is a maximum of ±6.0 dB in Table 6.3.5.2.1-1

NOTE 1: For extreme conditions an additional ± 2.0 dB relaxation is allowed
NOTE 2: For operating bands under Note 2 in Table 6.2.2-1, the relative power
tolerance is relaxed by increasing the upper limit by 1.5 dB if the
transmission bandwidth of the reference sub-frames is confined within
FUL_low and FUL_low + 4 MHz or FUL_high – 4 MHz and FUL_high and the target
sub-frame is not confined within any one of these frequency ranges; if
the transmission bandwidth of the target sub-frame is confined within
FUL_low and FUL_low + 4 MHz or FUL_high – 4 MHz and FUL_high and the
reference sub-frame is not confined within any one of these frequency
ranges, then the tolerance is relaxed by reducing the lower limit by 1.5
dB.
NOTE 3: For PUSCH to PUSCH transitions with the allocated resource blocks
fixed in frequency and no transmission gaps other than those generated
by downlink subframes, DwPTS fields or Guard Periods for TDD: for a
power step ΔP ≤ 1 dB, the relative power tolerance for transmission is
±1.0 dB.

The power step (ΔP) is defined as the difference in the calculated setting of the UE Transmit power between the target
and reference sub-frames with the power setting according to subclause 5.1 of [TS 36.213]. The error is the difference
between ΔP and the power change measured at the UE antenna port with the power of the cell-specific reference signals
kept constant. The error shall be less than the relative power tolerance specified in Table 6.3.5.2.1-1.

For sub-frames not containing an SRS symbol, the power change is defined as the relative power difference between the
mean power of the original reference sub-frame and the mean power of the target subframe not including transient
durations. The mean power of successive sub-frames shall be calculated according to Figure 6.3.4.3-1 and Figure
6.3.4.1-1 if there is a transmission gap between the reference and target sub-frames.

If at least one of the sub-frames contains an SRS symbol, the power change is defined as the relative power difference
between the mean power of the last transmission within the reference sub-frame and the mean power of the first
transmission within the target sub-frame not including transient durations. A transmission is defined as PUSCH,
PUCCH or an SRS symbol. The mean power of the reference and target sub-frames shall be calculated according to
Figures 6.3.4.1-1, 6.3.4.2-1, 6.3.4.4-1, 6.3.4.4-2 and 6.3.4.4-3 for these cases.

6.3.5.3 Aggregate power control tolerance

Aggregate power control tolerance is the ability of a UE to maintain its power in non-contiguous transmission within 21
ms in response to 0 dB TPC commands with respect to the first UE transmission, when the power control parameters
specified in TS 36.213 are constant.

The UE shall meet the requirements specified in Table 6.3.5.3.1-1 for aggregate power control over the power range
bounded by the minimum output power as defined in subclause 6.3.2 and the maximum output power as defined in
subclause 6.2.2.

6.5 Transmit signal quality

6.5.1 Frequency error
The UE modulated carrier frequency shall be accurate to within ±0.1 PPM observed over a period of one time slot (0.5
ms) compared to the carrier frequency received from the E-UTRA Node B

6.5.2 Transmit modulation quality

Transmit modulation quality defines the modulation quality for expected in-channel RF transmissions from the UE.
The transmit modulation quality is specified in terms of:

- Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) for the allocated resource blocks (RBs)

- EVM equalizer spectrum flatness derived from the equalizer coefficients generated by the EVM measurement
process

- Carrier leakage (caused by IQ offset)

- In-band emissions for the non-allocated RB

All the parameters defined in subclause 6.5.2 are defined using the measurement methodology specified in Annex F.

6.5.2.1 Error Vector Magnitude

The Error Vector Magnitude is a measure of the difference between the reference waveform and the measured
waveform. This difference is called the error vector. Before calculating the EVM the measured waveform is corrected
by the sample timing offset and RF frequency offset. Then the IQ origin offset shall be removed from the measured
waveform before calculating the EVM.

The measured waveform is further modified by selecting the absolute phase and absolute amplitude of the Tx chain.
The EVM result is defined after the front-end IDFT as the square root of the ratio of the mean error vector power to the
mean reference power expressed as a %.

The basic EVM measurement interval in the time domain is one preamble sequence for the PRACH and is one slot for
the PUCCH and PUSCH in the time domain.. When the PUSCH or PUCCH transmission slot is shortened due to
multiplexing with SRS, the EVM measurement interval is reduced by one symbol, accordingly. The PUSCH or
PUCCH EVM measurement interval is also reduced when the mean power, modulation or allocation between slots is

ETSI
3GPP TS 36.101 version 9.13.1 Release 9 32 ETSI TS 136 101 V9.13.1 (2013-01)

expected to change. In the case of PUSCH transmission, the measurement interval is reduced by a time interval equal to
the sum of 5 μs and the applicable exclusion period defined in subclause 6.3.4, adjacent to the boundary where the
power change is expected to occur. The PUSCH exclusion period is applied to the signal obtained after the front-end
IDFT. In the case of PUCCH transmission with power change, the PUCCH EVM measurement interval is reduced by
one symbol adjacent to the boundary where the power change is expected to occur.

6.5.2.1.1 Minimum requirement

The RMS average of the basic EVM measurements for 10 sub-frames excluding any transient period for the average
EVM case, and 60 sub-frames excluding any transient period for the reference signal EVM case, for the different
modulations schemes shall not exceed the values specified in Table 6.5.2.1.1-1 for the parameters defined in Table
6.5.2.1.1-2. For EVM evaluation purposes, [all PRACH preamble formats 0-4 and] all PUCCH formats 1, 1a, 1b, 2, 2a
and 2b are considered to have the same EVM requirement as QPSK modulated.

6.5.2.2 Carrier leakage

Carrier leakage (The IQ origin offset) is an additive sinusoid waveform that has the same frequency as the modulated
waveform carrier frequency. The measurement interval is one slot in the time domain.

6.5.2.2.1 Minimum requirements

The relative carrier leakage power is a power ratio of the additive sinusoid waveform and the modulated waveform. The
relative carrier leakage power shall not exceed the values specified in Table 6.5.2.2.1-1.

-30 dBm ≤ Output power ≤0 dBm -20
-40 dBm ≤ Output power < -30 dBm -10

6.5.2.3 In-band emissions

The in-band emission is defined as the average across 12 sub-carrier and as a function of the RB offset from the edge of
the allocated UL transmission bandwidth. The in-band emission is measured as the ratio of the UE output power in a
non–allocated RB to the UE output power in an allocated RB.

The basic in-band emissions measurement interval is defined over one slot in the time domain. When the PUSCH or
PUCCH transmission slot is shortened due to multiplexing with SRS, the in-band emissions measurement interval is
reduced by one SC-FDMA symbol, accordingly.

NOTE 1: An in-band emissions combined limit is evaluated in each non-allocated RB. For each such RB, the
minimum requirement is calculated as the higher of PRB - 30 dB and the power sum of all limit values
(General, IQ Image or Carrier leakage) that apply. PRB is defined in Note 10.
NOTE 2: The measurement bandwidth is 1 RB and the limit is expressed as a ratio of measured power in one non-
allocated RB to the measured average power per allocated RB, where the averaging is done across all
allocated RBs.
NOTE 3: The applicable frequencies for this limit are those that are enclosed in the reflection of the allocated
bandwidth, based on symmetry with respect to the centre carrier frequency, but excluding any allocated
RBs.
NOTE 4: The measurement bandwidth is 1 RB and the limit is expressed as a ratio of measured power in one non-
allocated RB to the measured total power in all allocated RBs.
NOTE 5: The applicable frequencies for this limit are those that are enclosed in the RBs containing the DC
frequency if N RB is odd, or in the two RBs immediately adjacent to the DC frequency if N RB is even, but
excluding any allocated RB.
NOTE 6: LCRBs is the Transmission Bandwidth (see Figure 5.6-1).
NOTE 7: N RB is the Transmission Bandwidth Configuration (see Figure 5.6-1).
NOTE 8: EVM is the limit specified in Table 6.5.2.1.1-1 for the modulation format used in the allocated RBs.
NOTE 9: Δ RB is the starting frequency offset between the allocated RB and the measured non-allocated RB (e.g.
Δ RB = 1 or Δ RB = −1 for the first adjacent RB outside of the allocated bandwidth.
NOTE 10: PRB is the transmitted power per 180 kHz in allocated RBs, measured in dBm.

6.5.2.4 EVM equalizer spectrum flatness

The zero-forcing equalizer correction applied in the EVM measurement process (as described in Annex F) must meet a
spectral flatness requirement for the EVM measurement to be valid. The EVM equalizer spectrum flatness is defined in
terms of the maximum peak-to-peak ripple of the equalizer coefficients (dB) across the allocated uplink block. The
basic measurement interval is the same as for EVM.

6.5.2.4.1 Minimum requirements

The peak-to-peak variation of the EVM equalizer coefficients contained within the frequency range of the uplink
allocation shall not exceed the maximum ripple specified in Table 6.5.2.4.1-1 for normal conditions. For uplink
allocations contained within both Range 1 and Range 2, the coefficients evaluated within each of these frequency
ranges shall meet the corresponding ripple requirement and the following additional requirement: the relative difference
between the maximum coefficient in Range 1 and the minimum coefficient in Range 2 must not be larger than 5 dB,
and the relative difference between the maximum coefficient in Range 2 and the minimum coefficient in Range 1 must
not be larger than 7 dB (see Figure 6.5.2.4.1-1).

The EVM equalizer spectral flatness shall not exceed the values specified in Table 6.5.2.4.1-2 for extreme conditions.
For uplink allocations contained within both Range 1 and Range 2, the coefficients evaluated within each of these
frequency ranges shall meet the corresponding ripple requirement and the following additional requirement: the relative
difference between the maximum coefficient in Range 1 and the minimum coefficient in Range 2 must not be larger

The Out of band emissions are unwanted emissions immediately outside the assigned channel bandwidth resulting from
the modulation process and non-linearity in the transmitter but excluding spurious emissions. This out of band emission
limit is specified in terms of a spectrum emission mask and an Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio.

6.6.2.1 Spectrum emission mask

The spectrum emission mask of the UE applies to frequencies (ΔfOOB) starting from the ± edge of the assigned E-UTRA
channel bandwidth. For frequencies greater than (ΔfOOB) as specified in Table 6.6.2.1.1-1 the spurious requirements in
subclause 6.6.3 are applicable.

bandwidth.

NOTE: As a general rule, the resolution bandwidth of the measuring equipment should be equal to the

resolution bandwidth may be smaller than the measurement bandwidth. When the resolution bandwidth is
smaller than the measurement bandwidth, the result should be integrated over the measurement
bandwidth in order to obtain the equivalent noise bandwidth of the measurement bandwidth.

This requirement is specified in terms of an "additional spectrum emission" requirement.

6.6.3 Spurious emissions

Spurious emissions are emissions which are caused by unwanted transmitter effects such as harmonics emission,
parasitic emissions, intermodulation products and frequency conversion products, but exclude out of band emissions.
The spurious emission limits are specified in terms of general requirements inline with SM.329 [2] and E-UTRA
operating band requirement to address UE co-existence.

Unless otherwise stated, the spurious emission limits apply for the frequency ranges that are more than ΔfOOB (MHz) in
Table 6.6.3.1-1 from the edge of the channel bandwidth. To improve measurement accuracy, sensitivity and efficiency,
the resolution bandwidth may be smaller than the measurement bandwidth. When the resolution bandwidth is smaller
than the measurement bandwidth, the result should be integrated over the measurement bandwidth in order to obtain the
equivalent noise bandwidth of the measurement bandwidth.

The spurious emission limits in Table 6.6.3.1-2 apply for all transmitter band configurations (NRB) and channel
bandwidths.

NOTE: In order that the measurement of spurious emissions falls within the frequency ranges that are more than
ΔfOOB (MHz) from the edge of the channel bandwidth, the minimum offset of the measurement frequency
from each edge of the channel should be ΔfOOB + MBW/2. MBW denotes the measurement bandwidth
defined in Table 6.6.3.1-2.

6.6.3.2 Spurious emission band UE co-existence

This clause specifies the requirements for the specified E-UTRA band, for coexistence with protected bands

NOTE: For measurement conditions at the edge of each frequency range, the lowest frequency of the
measurement position in each frequency range should be set at the lowest boundary of the frequency
range plus MBW/2. The highest frequency of the measurement position in each frequency range should
be set at the highest boundary of the frequency range minus MBW/2. MBW denotes the measurement
bandwidth defined for the protected band.

NOTE 1: FDL_low and FDL_high refer to each E-UTRA frequency band specified in Table 5.5-1
NOTE 2: As exceptions, measurements with a level up to the applicable requirements defined in Table 6.6.3.1-2 are
permitted for each assigned E-UTRA carrier used in the measurement due to 2nd or 3rd harmonic spurious
emissions. An exception is allowed if there is at least one individual RE within the transmission bandwidth (see
Figure 5.6-1) for which the 2nd or 3rd harmonic, i.e. the frequency equal to two or three times the frequency of
that RE, is within the measurement bandwidth (MBW).
NOTE 3: To meet these requirements some restriction will be needed for either the operating band or protected band
NOTE 4: N/A
NOTE 5: For non synchronised TDD operation to meet these requirements some restriction will be needed for either the
operating band or protected band
NOTE 6: Applicable when NS_05 in section 6.6.3.3.1 is signalled by the network.
NOTE 7: Applicable when co-existence with PHS system operating in 1884.5 -1919.6MHz.
NOTE 8: Applicable when co-existence with PHS system operating in 1884.5 -1915.7MHz.
NOTE 9: Applicable when NS_08 in section 6.6.3.3.3 is signalled by the network
NOTE 10: Applicable when NS_09 in section 6.6.3.3.4 is signalled by the network
NOTE 11: Whether the applicable frequency range should be 793-805MHz instead of 799-805MHz is TBD
NOTE 12: The emissions measurement shall be sufficiently power averaged to ensure a standard deviation < 0.5 dB
NOTE 13: Applicable when the assigned E-UTRA UL operating channel is ≥1749.9MHz and ≤ 1784.9MHz.
NOTE 14: These requirements also apply for the frequency ranges that are less than ΔfOOB (MHz) in Table 6.6.3.1-1 from
the edge of the channel bandwidth.
NOTE15: This requirement is applicable for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 54 RB for carriers of
15 MHz bandwidth when carrier center frequency is within the range 2560.5 - 2562.5 MHz and for carriers of
20 MHz bandwidth when carrier center frequency is within the range 2552 - 2560 MHz. This requirement is
applicable without any other uplink transmission bandwidth restriction for channel bandwidths within the range
2500 - 2570 MHz.
NOTE 16 This requirement is applicable for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 54 RB for carriers of
15 MHz bandwidth when carrier center frequency is within the range 2605.5 - 2607.5 MHz and for carriers of
20 MHz bandwidth when carrier center frequency is within the range 2597 – 2605 MHz. This requirement is
applicable without any other uplink transmission bandwidth restriction for channel bandwidths within the range
2570 – 2615 MHz. For assigned carriers with bandwidths overlapping the frequency range 2615-2620 MHz the
requirements apply with the maximum output power configured to +20 dBm in the IE P-Max.
NOTE 17 For carriers of 5 MHz channel bandwidth with carrier center frequencies (Fc) in the range 902.5MHz ≤ Fc <
907.5 MHz, the requirement applies for uplink transmission bandwidths less than or equal to 20 RB. No
restrictions apply in the range 907.5 MHz ≤ Fc ≤ 912.5 MHz. For carriers of 10 MHz channel bandwidth, the
requirement only applies for Fc = 910 MHz and uplink transmission bandwidths less than or equal to 32 RB with
RBstart > 3.

NOTE: The restriction on the maximum uplink transmission to 54 RB in Notes 14 and 15 of Table 6.6.3.2-1 is
intended for conformance testing and may be applied to network operation to facilitate coexistence when
the aggressor and victim bands are deployed in the same geographical area. The applicable spurious
emission requirement of -15.5 dBm/5MHz is a least restrictive technical condition for FDD/TDD
coexistence and may have to be revised in the future.

6.6.3.3 Additional spurious emissions

These requirements are specified in terms of an additional spectrum emission requirement. Additional spurious
emission requirements are signalled by the network to indicate that the UE shall meet an additional requirement for
a specific deployment scenario as part of the cell handover/broadcast message.

6.6.3.3.1 Minimum requirement (network signalled value "NS_05")

When "NS_05" is indicated in the cell, the power of any UE emission shall not exceed the levels specified in Table
6.6.3.3.1-1. This requirement also applies for the frequency ranges that are less than ΔfOOB (MHz) in Table 6.6.3.1-
1 from the edge of the channel bandwidth.

6.7 Transmit intermodulation

The transmit intermodulation performance is a measure of the capability of the transmitter to inhibit the generation of
signals in its non linear elements caused by presence of the wanted signal and an interfering signal reaching the
transmitter via the antenna.

6.7.1 Minimum requirement

User Equipment(s) transmitting in close vicinity of each other can produce intermodulation products, which can fall into
the UE, or eNode B receive band as an unwanted interfering signal. The UE intermodulation attenuation is defined by
the ratio of the mean power of the wanted signal to the mean power of the intermodulation product when an interfering
CW signal is added at a level below the wanted signal at each of the transmitter antenna port with the other antenna
port(s) if any is terminated. Both the wanted signal power and the intermodulation product power are measured through
E-UTRA rectangular filter with measurement bandwidth shown in Table 6.7.1-1.

The requirement of transmitting intermodulation is prescribed in Table 6.7.1-1.

7 Receiver characteristics

7.1 General
Unless otherwise stated the receiver characteristics are specified at the antenna connector(s) of the UE. For UE(s) with
an integral antenna only, a reference antenna(s) with a gain of 0 dBi is assumed for each antenna port(s). UE with an
integral antenna(s) may be taken into account by converting these power levels into field strength requirements,
assuming a 0 dBi gain antenna. For UEs with more than one receiver antenna connector, identical interfering signals
shall be applied to each receiver antenna port if more than one of these is used (diversity).

The levels of the test signal applied to each of the antenna connectors shall be as defined in the respective sections
below.

With the exception of subclause 7.3, the requirements shall be verified with the network signalling value NS_01
configured (Table 6.2.4-1).

All the parameters in clause 7 are defined using the UL reference measurement channels specified in Annexes A.2.2
and A.2.3, the DL reference measurement channels specified in Annex A.3.2 and using the set-up specified in Annex
C.3.1

7.2 Diversity characteristics

The requirements in Section 7 assume that the receiver is equipped with two Rx port as a baseline. These requirements
apply to all UE categories unless stated otherwise. Requirements for 4 ports are FFS. With the exception of subclause
7.9 all requirements shall be verified by using both (all) antenna ports simultaneously.

7.3 Reference sensitivity power level

The reference sensitivity power level REFSENS is the minimum mean power applied to both the UE antenna ports at
which the throughput shall meet or exceed the requirements for the specified reference measurement channel.

7.3.1 Minimum requirements (QPSK)

The throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in
Annexes A.2.2, A.2.3 and A.3.2 (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 7.3.1-1 and table 7.3.1-2

7.5 Adjacent Channel Selectivity (ACS)

7.5.1 Minimum requirements
Adjacent Channel Selectivity (ACS) is a measure of a receiver's ability to receive a E-UTRA 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 requirement specified in Table 7.5.1-1 for all values of an adjacent channel interferer
up to –25 dBm. However it is not possible to directly measure the ACS, instead the lower and upper range of test
parameters are chosen in Table 7.5.1-2 and Table 7.5.1-3 where the throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum
throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annexes A.2.2, A.2.3 and A.3.2 (with one sided

9 Reporting of Channel State Information

9.1 General
This section includes requirements for the reporting of channel state information (CSI). For all test cases in this section,
the definition of SNR is in accordance with the one given in clause 8.1.1.

9.2 CQI reporting definition under AWGN conditions

The reporting accuracy of the channel quality indicator (CQI) under frequency non-selective conditions is determined
by the reporting variance and the BLER performance using the transport format indicated by the reported CQI median.
The purpose is to verify that the reported CQI values are in accordance with the CQI definition given in TS 36.211 [4].
To account for sensitivity of the input SNR the reporting definition is considered to be verified if the reporting accuracy
is met for at least one of two SNR levels separated by an offset of 1 dB.

Note 3: To avoid collisions between CQI/PMI reports and HARQ-ACK it is necessary to report both on
PUSCH instead of PUCCH. PDCCH DCI format 0 shall be transmitted in downlink SF#3 and
#8 to allow periodic CQI/PMI to multiplex with the HARQ-ACK on PUSCH in uplink subframe
SF#7 and #2.
Note 4: RI reporting interval is set to the maximum allowable length of 160ms to minimise collisions
between RI, CQI/PMI and HARQ-ACK reports. In the case when all three reports collide, it is
expected that CQI/PMI reports will be dropped, while RI and HARQ-ACK will be multiplexed. At
eNB, CQI report collection shall be skipped every 160ms during performance verification.

9.3 CQI reporting under fading conditions

9.3.1 Frequency-selective scheduling mode
The accuracy of sub-band channel quality indicator (CQI) reporting under frequency selective fading conditions is
determined by a double-sided percentile of the reported differential CQI offset level 0 per sub-band, and the relative
increase of the throughput obtained when transmitting on a randomly selected sub-band among the sub-bands with the
highest reported differential CQI offset level the corresponding transport format compared to the case for which a fixed
format is transmitted on any sub-band in set S of TS 36.213 [6]. The purpose is to verify that preferred sub-bands can be
used for frequently-selective scheduling. To account for sensitivity of the input SNR the sub-band CQI reporting under
frequency selective fading conditions is considered to be verified if the reporting accuracy is met for at least one of two
SNR levels separated by an offset of 1 dB.

9.3.2 Frequency non-selective scheduling mode

The reporting accuracy of the channel quality indicator (CQI) under frequency non-selective fading conditions is
determined by the reporting variance, and the relative increase of the throughput obtained when the transport format
transmitted is that indicated by the reported CQI compared to the case for which a fixed transport format configured
according to the reported median CQI is transmitted. In addition, the reporting accuracy is determined by a minimum
BLER using the transport formats indicated by the reported CQI. The purpose is to verify that the UE is tracking the
channel variations and selecting the largest transport format possible according to the prevailing channel state for
frequently non-selective scheduling. To account for sensitivity of the input SNR the CQI reporting under frequency
non-selective fading conditions is considered to be verified if the reporting accuracy is met for at least one of two SNR
levels separated by an offset of 1 dB.

9.4 Reporting of Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI)

The minimum performance requirements of PMI reporting are defined based on the precoding gain, expressed as the
relative increase in throughput when the transmitter is configured according to the UE reports compared to the case
when the transmitter is using random precoding, respectively. When the transmitter uses random precoding, for each
PDSCH allocation a precoder is randomly generated and applied to the PDSCH. Transmission mode 6 is used with a
fixed transport format (FRC) configured. The requirements are specified in terms of the ratio

tue .
γ=
t rnd

In the definition of γ, for PUSCH 3-1 single PMI and PUSCH 1-2 multiple PMI requirements, t rnd is 60% of the
maximum throughput obtained at SNRrnd using random precoding, and tue the throughput measured at SNRrnd with
precoders configured according to the UE reports;

For the PUCCH 2-1 single PMI requirement, trnd is [60]% of the maximum throughput obtained at SNRrnd using
random precoding on a randomly selected full-size subband in set S subbands, and tue the throughput measured at
SNRrnd with both the precoder and the preferred full-size subband applied according to the UE reports;

For PUSCH 2-2 multiple PMI requirements, trnd is [60]% of the maximum throughput obtained at SNRrnd using random
precoding on a randomly selected full-size subband in set S subbands, and tue the throughput measured at SNRrnd with
both the subband precoder and a randomly selected full-size subband (within the preferred subbands) applied according
to the UE reports.

9.5 Reporting of Rank Indicator (RI)

The purpose of this test is to verify that the reported rank indicator accurately represents the channel rank. The accuracy
of RI (CQI) reporting is determined by the relative increase of the throughput obtained when transmitting based on the
reported rank compared to the case for which a fixed rank is used for transmission. Transmission mode 4 is used with
the specified CodebookSubSetRestriction.

For fixed rank 1 transmission, the RI and PMI reporting is restricted to two single-layer precoders, For fixed rank 2
transmission, the RI and PMI reporting is restricted to one two-layer precoder, For follow RI transmission, the RI and
PMI reporting is restricted to select the union of these precoders. Channels with low and high correlation are used to
ensure that RI reporting reflects the channel condition.

9.5.1 Minimum requirement

9.5.1.1 FDD
The minimum performance requirement in Table 9.5.1.1-2 is defined as

a) The ratio of the throughput obtained when transmitting based on UE reported RI and that obtained when
transmitting with fixed rank 1 shall be ≥ γ1;

ETSI
3GPP TS 36.101 version 9.13.1 Release 9 111 ETSI TS 136 101 V9.13.1 (2013-01)

b) The ratio of the throughput obtained when transmitting based on UE reported RI and that obtained when
transmitting with fixed rank 2 shall be ≥ γ2;

TBS selection is based on the UE wideband CQI feedback. The transport block size TBS for wideband CQI is selected
according to Table A.4-3a.

For the parameters specified in Table 9.5.1.1-1, and using the downlink physical channels specified in Annex C, the

and #3.
Note 4: The bit field for precoding information in DCI format 2 shall be mapped as:

Note 5: To avoid the ambiguity of TE behaviour when applying CQI and PMI during rank switching, RI
reports are to be applied at the TE with one subframe delay in addition to Note 1 to align with
CQI and PMI reports.

Annex A (normative):
Measurement channels

A.1 General
The throughput values defined in the measurement channels specified in Annex A, are calculated and are valid per
datastream (codeword). For multi-stream (more than one codeword) transmissions, the throughput referenced in the
minimum requirements is the sum of throughputs of all datastreams (codewords).

The UE category entry in the definition of the reference measurement channel in Annex A is only informative and
reveals the UE categories, which can support the corresponding measurement channel. Whether the measurement
channel is used for testing a certain UE category or not is specified in the individual minimum requirements.

A.2 UL reference measurement channels

A.2.1 General
A.2.1.1 Applicability and common parameters
The following sections define the UL signal applicable to the Transmitter Characteristics (clause 6) and for the Receiver
Characteristics (clause 7) where the UL signal is relevant.

The Reference channels in this section assume transmission of PUSCH and Demodulation Reference signal only. The
following conditions apply:

- 1 HARQ transmission

- Cyclic Prefix normal

- PUSCH hopping off

- Link adaptation off

- Demodulation Reference signal as per TS 36.211 [4] subclause 5.5.2.1.2.

Where ACK/NACK is transmitted, it is assumed to be multiplexed on PUSCH as per TS 36.212 [5] subclause 5.2.2.6.

- ACK/NACK 1 bit

- ACK/NACK mapping adjacent to Demodulation Reference symbol

- ACK/NACK resources punctured into data

- Max number of resources for ACK/NACK: 4 SC-FDMA symbols per subframe

- No CQI transmitted, no RI transmitted

A.2.1.2 Determination of payload size

The algorithm for determining the payload size A is as follows; given a desired coding rate R and radio block allocation
NRB

ETSI
3GPP TS 36.101 version 9.13.1 Release 9 117 ETSI TS 136 101 V9.13.1 (2013-01)

1. Calculate the number of channel bits Nch that can be transmitted during the first transmission of a given sub-
frame.

2. Find A such that the resulting coding rate is as close to R as possible, that is,

min R − ( A + 24) / N ch ,

subject to

a) A is a valid TB size according to section 7.1.7 of TS 36.213 [6] assuming an allocation of NRB resource
blocks.

b) Segmentation is not included in this formula, but should be considered in the TBS calculation.

c) For RMC-s, which at the nominal target coding rate do not cover all the possible UE categories for the
given modulation, reduce the target coding rate gradually (within the same modulation), until the
maximal possible number of UE categories is covered.

3. If there is more than one A that minimises the equation above, then the larger value is chosen per default.

A.2.1.3 Overview of UL reference measurement channels

In Table A.2.1.3-1 are listed the UL reference measurement channels specified in annexes A.2.2 and A.2.3 of this
release of TS 36.1011. This table is informative and serves only to a better overview. The reference for the concrete
reference measurement channels and corresponding implementation’s parameters as to be used for requirements are
annexes A.2.2 and A.2.3 as appropriate.

A.2.2.2 Partial RB allocation

For each channel bandwidth, various partial RB allocations are specified. The number of allocated RBs is chosen
according to values specified in the Tx and Rx requirements. The single allocated RB case is included.

The allocated RBs are contiguous and start from one end of the channel bandwidth. A single allocated RB is at one end
of the channel bandwidth.

A.2.3.2 Partial RB allocation

For each channel bandwidth, various partial RB allocations are specified. The number of allocated RBs is chosen
according to values specified in the Tx and Rx requirements. The single allocated RB case is included.

The allocated RBs are contiguous and start from one end of the channel bandwidth. A single allocated RB is at one end
of the channel bandwidth.

A.3 DL reference measurement channels

A.3.1 General
The number of available channel bits varies across the sub-frames due to PBCH and PSS/SSS overhead. The payload
size per sub-frame is varied in order to keep the code rate constant throughout a frame.

No user data is scheduled on subframes #5 in order to facilitate the transmission of system information blocks (SIB).

The algorithm for determining the payload size A is as follows; given a desired coding rate R and radio block allocation
NRB

1. Calculate the number of channel bits Nch that can be transmitted during the first transmission of a given sub-
frame.

2. Find A such that the resulting coding rate is as close to R as possible, that is,

min R − ( A + 24) / N ch ,

subject to

a) A is a valid TB size according to section 7.1.7 of TS 36.213 [6] assuming an allocation of NRB resource
blocks.

b) Segmentation is not included in this formula, but should be considered in the TBS calculation.

ETSI
3GPP TS 36.101 version 9.13.1 Release 9 144 ETSI TS 136 101 V9.13.1 (2013-01)

3. If there is more than one A that minimizes the equation above, then the larger value is chosen per default.

4. For TDD, the measurement channel is based on DL/UL configuration ratio of 2DL+DwPTS (12 OFDM symbol):
2UL

A.5 OFDMA Channel Noise Generator (OCNG)

A.5.1 OCNG Patterns for FDD

The following OCNG patterns are used for modelling allocations to virtual UEs (which are not under test) and/or
allocations used for MBSFN. The OCNG pattern for each sub frame specifies the allocations that shall be filled with
OCNG, and furthermore, the relative power level of each such allocation.

In each test case the OCNG is expressed by parameters OCNG_RA and OCNG_RB which together with a relative
power level ( γ ) specifies the PDSCH EPRE-to-RS EPRE ratios in OFDM symbols with and without reference
symbols, respectively. The relative power, which is used for modelling boosting per virtual UE allocation, is expressed
by:

γ i = PDSCH i _ RA / OCNG _ RA = PDSCH i _ RB / OCNG _ RB,

ETSI
3GPP TS 36.101 version 9.13.1 Release 9 185 ETSI TS 136 101 V9.13.1 (2013-01)

where γi denotes the relative power level of the i:th virtual UE. The parameter settings of OCNG_RA, OCNG_RB,
and the set of relative power levels γ are chosen such that when also taking allocations to the UE under test into
account, as given by a PDSCH reference channel, a constant transmitted power spectral density that is constant on an
OFDM symbol basis is targeted.

Moreover the OCNG pattern is accompanied by a PCFICH/PDCCH/PHICH reference channel which specifies the
control region. For any aggregation and PHICH allocation, the PDCCH and any unused PHICH groups are padded with
resource element groups with a power level given respectively by PDCCH_RA/RB and PHICH_RA/RB as specified in
the test case such that a total power spectral density in the control region that is constant on an OFDM symbol basis is
targeted.

A.5.1.1 OCNG FDD pattern 1: One sided dynamic OCNG FDD pattern
This OCNG Pattern fills with OCNG all empty PRB-s (PRB-s with no allocation of data or system information) of the DL
sub-frames, when the unallocated area is continuous in frequency domain (one sided).

Note 1: These physical resource blocks are assigned to an arbitrary number of virtual UEs with one PDSCH
per virtual UE; the data transmitted over the OCNG PDSCHs shall be uncorrelated pseudo random
data, which is QPSK modulated. The parameter γ PRB is used to scale the power of PDSCH.
Note 2: If two or more transmit antennas with CRS are used in the test, the OCNG shall be transmitted to
the virtual users by all the transmit antennas with CRS according to transmission mode 2. The
parameter γ PRB applies to each antenna port separately, so the transmit power is equal between all
the transmit antennas with CRS used in the test. The antenna transmission modes are specified in
section 7.1 in 3GPP TS 36.213.

A.5.1.2 OCNG FDD pattern 2: Two sided dynamic OCNG FDD pattern
This OCNG Pattern fills with OCNG all empty PRB-s (PRB-s with no allocation of data or system information) of the DL
sub-frames, when the unallocated area is discontinuous in frequency domain (divided in two parts by the allocated area –
two sided), starts with PRB 0 and ends with PRB N RB − 1 .

A.5.2 OCNG Patterns for TDD

The following OCNG patterns are used for modelling allocations to virtual UEs (which are not under test). The OCNG
pattern for each sub frame specifies the allocations that shall be filled with OCNG, and furthermore, the relative power
level of each such allocation.

In each test case the OCNG is expressed by parameters OCNG_RA and OCNG_RB which together with a relative
power level ( γ ) specifies the PDSCH EPRE-to-RS EPRE ratios in OFDM symbols with and without reference
symbols, respectively. The relative power, which is used for modelling boosting per virtual UE allocation, is expressed
by:

γ i = PDSCH i _ RA / OCNG _ RA = PDSCH i _ RB / OCNG _ RB,

where γi denotes the relative power level of the i:th virtual UE. The parameter settings of OCNG_RA, OCNG_RB,
and the set of relative power levels γ are chosen such that when also taking allocations to the UE under test into
account, as given by a PDSCH reference channel, a transmitted power spectral density that is constant on an OFDM
symbol basis is targeted.

Moreover the OCNG pattern is accompanied by a PCFICH/PDCCH/PHICH reference channel which specifies the
control region. For any aggregation and PHICH allocation, the PDCCH and any unused PHICH groups are padded with
resource element groups with a power level given respectively by PDCCH_RA/RB and PHICH_RA/RB as specified in
the test case such that a total power spectral density in the control region that is constant on an OFDM symbol basis is
targeted.

A.5.2.1 OCNG TDD pattern 1: One sided dynamic OCNG TDD pattern
This OCNG Pattern fills with OCNG all empty PRB-s (PRB-s with no allocation of data or system information) of the

B.1 Static propagation condition

For 2 port transmission the channel matrix is defined in the frequency domain by

⎛1 j ⎞
H = ⎜⎜ ⎟⎟ .
⎝1 − j ⎠

B.2 Multi-path fading propagation conditions

The multipath propagation conditions consist of several parts:

- A delay profile in the form of a "tapped delay-line", characterized by a number of taps at fixed positions on a
sampling grid. The profile can be further characterized by the r.m.s. delay spread and the maximum delay
spanned by the taps.

- A combination of channel model parameters that include the Delay profile and the Doppler spectrum, that is
characterized by a classical spectrum shape and a maximum Doppler frequency

- A set of correlation matrices defining the correlation between the UE and eNodeB antennas in case of multi-
antenna systems.

- Additional multi-path models used for CQI (Channel Quality Indication) tests

B.2.1 Delay profiles

The delay profiles are selected to be representative of low, medium and high delay spread environments. The resulting
model parameters are defined in Table B.2.1-1 and the tapped delay line models are defined in Tables B.2.1-2, B.2.1-3
and B.2.1-4.

The correlation matrices for high, medium and low correlation are defined in Table B.2.3.1-2, B.2.3.2-3 and B.2.3.2-
4,as below.

The values in Table B.2.3.2-2 have been adjusted for the 4x2 and 4x4 high correlation cases to insure the correlation
matrix is positive semi-definite after round-off to 4 digit precision. This is done using the equation:

R high = [R spatial + aI n ] /(1 + a )

Where the value “a” is a scaling factor such that the smallest value is used to obtain a positive semi-definite result. For
the 4x2 high correlation case, a=0.00010. For the 4x4 high correlation case, a=0.00012.

The same method is used to adjust the 4x4 medium correlation matrix in Table B.2.3.2-3 to insure the correlation matrix
is positive semi-definite after round-off to 4 digit precision with a = 0.00012.

F.3 Basic in-band emissions measurement

The in-band emissions are a measure of the interference falling into the non-allocated resources blocks. The in-band
emission requirement is evaluated for PUCCH and PUSCH transmissions. The in-band emission requirement is not
evaluated for PRACH transmissions.

The in-band emissions are measured as follows

⎧ 1 f l + (12 ⋅ Δ RB +11)* Δf

∑ ∑
2
⎪ Y (t , f ) , Δ RB < 0
⎪ T
Emissionsabsolute (Δ RB ) = ⎨ s t∈Ts min(
max( f min , f l +12 ⋅ Δ RB * Δf )
f max , f h +12 ⋅ Δ RB * Δf ) ,
⎪1 ∑
⎪⎩ Ts t∈Ts f h + (12⋅Δ∑
2
Y (t , f ) , Δ RB > 0
RB −11) * Δf

where

Ts is a set of Ts SC-FDMA symbols with the considered modulation scheme being active within the measurement
period,

Δ RB is the starting frequency offset between the allocated RB and the measured non-allocated RB (e.g. Δ RB = 1 or
Δ RB = −1 for the first adjacent RB),

f min (resp. f max ) is the lower (resp. upper) edge of the UL system BW,

f l and f h are the lower and upper edge of the allocated BW, and

Y (t , f ) is the frequency domain signal evaluated for in-band emissions as defined in the subsection (ii)

The relative in-band emissions are, given by

Emissionsabsolute (Δ RB )
Emissionsrelative (Δ RB ) = fl +(12⋅N RB −1)Δf
1
∑ ∑
2
Y (t , f )
Ts ⋅ N RB t∈Ts fl

where

N RB is the number of allocated RBs

The basic in-band emissions measurement interval is defined over one slot in the time domain. When the PUSCH or
PUCCH transmission slot is shortened due to multiplexing with SRS, the in-band emissions measurement interval is
reduced by one SC-FDMA symbol, accordingly.

In the evaluation of in-band emissions, the timing is set according to Δ~

t = Δc~ , where sample time offsets Δ~
t and
Δc~ are defined in subclause F.4.

F.4 Modified signal under test

Implicit in the definition of EVM is an assumption that the receiver is able to compensate a number of transmitter
impairments.

The PUSCH data or PRACH signal under test is modified and, in the case of PUSCH data signal, decoded according
to::

ETSI
3GPP TS 36.101 version 9.13.1 Release 9 209 ETSI TS 136 101 V9.13.1 (2013-01)

Z ' (t , f ) = IDFT ⎨

⎧⎪ FFT z (v − Δ~
~
~
} ~
t ) ⋅ e − j 2πΔfv .e j 2πfΔ t ⎫⎪
⎬
⎪⎩ a~ (t , f ) ⋅ e jϕ ( t , f ) ⎪⎭

where

z (v) is the time domain samples of the signal under test.

The PUCCH or PUSCH demodulation reference signal or PUCCH data signal under test is equalised and, in the case of
PUCCH data signal decoded according to:

Z ' (t , f ) =
{
FFT z (v − Δ~
~
~
} ~
t ) ⋅ e − j 2πΔfv .e j 2πfΔ t
a~(t , f ) ⋅ e jϕ ( t , f )
where

z (v) is the time domain samples of the signal under test.

To minimize the error, the signal under test should be modified with respect to a set of parameters following the
procedure explained below.

Notation:

Δ~
t is the sample timing difference between the FFT processing window in relation to nominal timing of the ideal
signal.
~
Δf is the RF frequency offset.

ϕ~ (t , f ) is the phase response of the TX chain.

a~ (t , f ) is the amplitude response of the TX chain.

In the following Δc ~ represents the middle sample of the EVM window of length W (defined in the next subsections)
or the last sample of the first window half if W is even.

The EVM analyser shall

~
detect the start of each slot and estimate Δ~
t and Δf ,

determine Δc~ so that the EVM window of length W is centred

• on the time interval determined by the measured cyclic prefix minus 16 samples of the considered
OFDM symbol for symbol 0 for normal CP, i.e. the first 16 samples of the CP should not be taken
into account for this step. In the determination of the number of excluded samples, a sampling rate of
30.72MHz was assumed. If a different sampling rate is used, the number of excluded samples is
scaled linearly.

• on the measured cyclic prefix of the considered OFDM symbol symbol for symbol 1 to 6 for normal
CP and for symbol 0 to 5 for extended CP.

• on the measured preamble cyclic prefix for the PRACH

To determine the other parameters a sample timing offset equal to Δc~ is corrected from the signal under test. The
EVM analyser shall then
~
correct the RF frequency offset Δf for each time slot, and
apply an FFT of appropriate size. The chosen FFT size shall ensure that in the case of an ideal signal under test,
there is no measured inter-subcarrier interference.

ETSI
3GPP TS 36.101 version 9.13.1 Release 9 210 ETSI TS 136 101 V9.13.1 (2013-01)

The IQ origin offset shall be removed from the evaluated signal before calculating the EVM and the in-band emissions;
however, the removed relative IQ origin offset power (relative carrier leakage power) also has to satisfy the applicable
requirement.

At this stage the allocated RBs shall be separated from the non-allocated RBs. In the case of PUCCH and PUSCH
EVM, the signal on the non-allocated RB(s), Y (t , f ) , is used to evaluate the in-band emissions.

Moreover, the following procedure applies only to the signal on the allocated RB(s).

- In the case of PUCCH and PUSCH, the UL EVM analyzer shall estimate the TX chain equalizer
coefficients a~ (t , f ) and ϕ~ (t , f ) used by the ZF equalizer for all subcarriers by time averaging at each
signal subcarrier of the amplitude and phase of the reference and data symbols. The time-averaging length
is 1 slot. This process creates an average amplitude and phase for each signal subcarrier used by the ZF
equalizer. The knowledge of data modulation symbols may be required in this step because the
determination of symbols by demodulation is not reliable before signal equalization.

- In the case of PRACH, the UL EVM analyzer shall estimate the TX chain coefficients a ~(t ) and ϕ~(t )
used for phase and amplitude correction and are seleted so as to minimize the resulting EVM. The TX
~ (t , f ) = a~ (t ) and ϕ~(t , f ) = ϕ~(t ) . The TX
chain coefficients are not dependent on frequency, i.e. a
chain coefficient are chosen independently for each preamble transmission and for each Δ~
t .
~ ~
Δf , a~ (t , f ) , ϕ~ (t , f ) and Δc~ are available. Δ t is one of the extremities of the window
At this stage estimates of
~ ⎢W ⎥ ⎢W ⎥
W , i.e. Δ t can be Δc~ + α − ⎢ ⎥ or Δc~ + ⎢ ⎥ , where α = 0 if W is odd and α = 1 if W is even. The EVM
⎣2⎦ ⎣2⎦
analyser shall then

⎢W ⎥
calculate EVMl with Δ~
t set to Δc~ + α − ⎢ ⎥ ,
⎣2⎦

⎢W ⎥
calculate EVMh with Δ~
t set to Δc~ + ⎢ ⎥ .
⎣2⎦

F.5 Window length

F.5.1 Timing offset

~
As a result of using a cyclic prefix, there is a range of Δ t , which, at least in the case of perfect Tx signal quality, would
give close to minimum error vector magnitude. As a first order approximation, that range should be equal to the length
~
of the cyclic prefix. Any time domain windowing or FIR pulse shaping applied by the transmitter reduces the Δ t
range within which the error vector is close to its minimum.

F.5.2 Window length

The window length W affects the measured EVM, and is expressed as a function of the configured cyclic prefix length.
In the case where equalization is present, as with frequency domain EVM computation, the effect of FIR is reduced. This is
because the equalization can correct most of the linear distortion introduced by the FIR. However, the time domain
windowing effect can’t be removed.

F.5.3 Window length for normal CP

The table below specifies the EVM window length at channel bandwidths 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20 MHz, for normal CP. The
nominal window length for 3 MHz is rounded down one sample to allow the window to be centered on the symbol.

F.6 Averaged EVM

The general EVM is averaged over basic EVM measurements for 20 slots in the time domain.

1 20
EVM = ∑
20 i =1
EVM i2

The EVM requirements shall be tested against the maximum of the RMS average at the window W extremities of the
EVM measurements:

Thus EVM l is calculated using Δ~

t = Δ~
tl in the expressions above and EVM h is calculated using Δ~
t = Δ~
th .
Thus we get:

EVM = max(EVM l , EVM h )

The calculation of the EVM for the demodulation reference signal, EVM DMRS , follows the same procedure as
calculating the general EVM, with the exception that the modulation symbol set Tm defined in clause F.2 is restricted
to symbols containing uplink demodulation reference signals.

The basic EVM DMRS measurements are first averaged over 20 slots in the time domain to obtain an intermediate
average EVM DMRS .

1 20
EVM DMRS = ∑ EVM DMRS
20 i =1

,i

In the determination of each

~ ~
EVM DMRS , i , the timing is set to Δ t = Δ tl if EVM l > EVM h , and it is set to
Δ~
t = Δ~
th otherwise, where EVM l and EVM h are the general average EVM values calculated in the same 20 slots
over which the intermediate average EVM DMRS is calculated. Note that in some cases, the general average EVM may
be calculated only for the purpose of timing selection for the demodulation reference signal EVM.

Then the results are further averaged to get the EVM for the demodulation reference signal, EVM DMRS ,

1 6
∑
2
EVM DMRS = EVM DMRS , j
6 j =1

The PRACH EVM, EVM PRACH , is averaged over two preamble sequence measurements for preamble formats 0, 1, 2,
3, and it is averaged over 10 preamble sequence measurements for preamble format 4.

The EVM requirements shall be tested against the maximum of the RMS average at the window W extremities of the
EVM measurements:

Thus EVM PRACH, l is calculated using Δ~

t = Δ~
tl and EVM PRACH, h is calculated using Δ~
t = Δ~
th .

Thus we get:

EVM PRACH = max(EVM PRACH, l , EVM PRACH, h )
