16 1.4. TR Measurements (Fundamental Measurements) Sections after explain how to use the GPIB remote control software commands. For details of GPIB commands and manual operation, read the instruction manual. GPIB commands are in red bold. The UE power class is assumed to be 3. Connect to Test Mode after UE location registration for measurements after Complete Initial Condition Setting (1.4.1), Location Registration, (1.4.2) and Test Mode Connection (1.4.3) before measurement Initial Condition Setting Sets Initial Condition Setting before measurement. Setting when Operating Band is 1. Test Frequency is Mid range, and Test Channel Bandwidth is 5 MHz. 1. Execute PRESET to set default parameter. 2. Execute ULCHAN to set UL Channel and DL Channel to and 300, respectively. 3. Execute BANDWIDTH 5MHZ to set Channel Bandwidth to 5 MHz Location Registration Registers UE location after Initial Condition Setting. 1. Connect UE and MT8820C. 2. Execute CALLPROC ON to set call processing ON. 3. Execute CALLRFR to clear UE Report and call processing. 4. Execute CALLSTAT? to confirm the call processing status. 5. Check the status confirmed in step 4 is 1 (= Idle). 6. Turn on UE power. 7. Execute CALLSTAT? to confirm the call processing status. 8. Check that the status confirmed in step 7 is 2 (= Idle (Regist)). Repeat steps 7 and 8 when the checked status is not 2 (= Idle (Regist)) Test Mode Connection. Connect to Test Mode after UE location registration. Complete location registration before call processing ( 1.4.2). 1. Execute CALLSA to connect to Test Mode. 2. Execute CALLSTATIC? to confirm the call processing stationary status. 3. Check that the status confirmed in step 2 is 6 (= Connected) Test Mode Disconnection 1. Execute CALLSO to disconnect from Test Mode. 2. Execute CALLSTATIC? to confirm the call processing stationary status. 3. (Check that the status confirmed in step 2 is 2 (= Idle (Regist)). 10

17 Broadcast Information Update When changing broadcast information, the UE must be notified of the change using one of the following methods. The effective method differs according to the UE in use. A) Execute RRC Connection Reconfiguration Notify the broadcast information update using the RRC Connection Reconfiguration message. It updates information without ending a call. Use this procedure. 1. Execute RRCUPDATE RRCMSG to set radioresourceconfigcommon Update to RRC Message. NOTE 1: This setting is required once at the beginning of the measurement sequence. B) Execute Paging Notify the broadcast information update using Paging. It updates information without ending a call. The MT8820C waits until the Paging information is reflected. Use this procedure when procedure A cannot be used. Waiting time at MT8820C modificationperiodcoeff [n] x defaultpagingcycle [rf = 10 ms] NOTE 1: Setting both to the minimum value before position registration minimizes waiting time. (Example) modificationperiodcoeff (n2) defaultpagingcycle (rf32) = 640 ms 1. Execute RRCUPDATE PAGING to set radioresourceconfigcommon Update to Paging. NOTE 2: This setting is required once at the beginning of measurement sequence. C) Turn UE power OFF and ON Turn the UE power OFF and ON to update the broadcast information. Use this procedure when procedures A and B cannot be used. 1. Disconnect Test Mode ( 1.4.4). 2. Turn off UE power. 3. Turn on UE power. 4. Execute CALLSTAT? to confirm the call processing status. 5. Check that the status confirmed in step 4 is 2 (= Idle (Regist)). Repeat steps 4 and 5 when the status confirmed in step 4 is not 2 (= Idle (Regist)). 6. Connect to Test Mode ( 1.4.3). NOTE 1: This procedure is required to update broadcast information. 11

81 1.10. UE DL-SCH R It is important to consider the following settings when the UE is receiving using DL-SCH from the BTS (MT8820C). UE Category Code Rate UE Category TS defines the DL-SCH Rx performance as shown in the table below for each UE Category. The blue encircled part in the above table indicates the maximum bit count per one DL-SCH (one Codeword) that the UE can receive in one TTI (one Subframe). For UE Category 3, if the DL-SCH Transport Block Size (TBS) for one DL-SCH exceeds bits, the UE is unable to receive DL-SCH normally. In addition, the red encircled part in the above table indicates the maximum bit count for the DL-SCH (total of two Codewords for Transmission Mode3 and Transmission Mode4) that the UE can receive in one TTI (one Subframe). ForUE Category 3, if the DL-SCH Transport Block Size (TBS) for one DL-SCH exceeds bits, the UE is unable to receive DL-SCH normally. The TBS of the DL-SCH sent by the MT8820C is determined by the Common Parameter Antenna Configuration, the DL RMC Number RB and the DL RMC MCS Index(0) to (3), so it is necessary to perform setting by considering the above-described UE category Rx restrictions. For example, for UE Category 3 with a Channel Bandwidth of 20 MHz and a 2x2 MIMO (Open Loop) or 2x2 MIMO (Closed Loop Multi Layer) Antenna Configuration, as shown in Fig. 1, at DL RMC, the UE can receive DL-SCH normally because the TBS is bits and does not exceed the "Maximum number of DL-SCH transport block bits received within a TTI" shown in the above table. Fig. 1. MCS Index Setting for DL RMC and TBS Value (when UE can decode) On the other hand, at the DL RMC setting shown in Fig. 2, since TBS is larger than and exceeds the Rx restriction described in "Maximum number of DL-SCH transport block bits received within a TTI" above, the UE cannot decode DL-SCK and returns an error (NACK). Fig. 2. MCS Index Setting for DL RMC and TBS Value (when UE cannot decode) 75

82 Code Rate The LTE use data Tx channel (PDSCH-DLSCH) performs channel encode processing and adds the error correction coding required at decoding by the UE before mapping to the Physical Channel and sending. Since error correction encoding can be added as the ratio (Code Rate) between the Information Bit count (number of CRC bits added to TBS), which is the size of the user data, and the Physical Channel Bit count with PDSCH per Subframe becomes smaller, the Rx data error correction pereformance increases. The above described ratio (Code Rate) is defined below. Code Rate = Information Bit count/physical Channel Bit count The 3GPP TS Modulation order and transport block size determination notes that "The UE may skip decoding a transport block in an initial transmission if the effective channel code rate is higher than 0.930, where the effective channel code rate is defined as the number of downlink information bits (including CRC bits) divided by the number of physical channel bits on PDSCH". As a result, when the DL-SCH Code Rate sent from the BTS exceeds 0.93, the UE is unable to decode DL-SCH and returns an error (NACK). Example: When Channel Coding = RMC and Antenna Config. = 2x2 MIMO (OpenLoop) Tables 3 and 4 below show the MCS Index value and Code rate at Full RB Mapping for each bandwidth. Table 3 shows the value for Subframe #0 and Table 4 for Subframe #1-4, and #6-9. Depending on the MCS Index setting, sometimes the UE may be unable to decode DL-SCH if the Code Rate exceeds Subframe #0 can be decoded by a smaller MCS Index than other subframes. As shown in Fig. 5, there are non-pdsch Physical Channels PBCH, PSS, and SSS in Subframe #0, so the PDSCH region is smaller than other subframes. Table 3. Relationship between Subframe#0 MCS Index Value and Code Rate Bandwidth CFI RB Physical Channel bits MCS Index TBS Information bits Code Rate UE can decode? Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No The UE can decode DL-SCH at the MCS Index where the Code Rate is
