Section: 8.1.2.12.3 Applicability rule and antenna connection for CA and DC tests
Content: 8.1.2.12.3.1 Applicability rule and antenna connection for CA and DC tests with 2Rx All tests specified in 8.2 to 8.8 with 2Rx with CA, TDD-FDD CA and DC are tested with 8 Rx capable UEs. Within the CA/DC configuration if any of the PCell and/or the SCells and/or PSCells is a 2Rx supported RF band, the antenna connection should follow the same method as defined in 8.1.2.12.1 and 8.1.2.12.2 for single carrier tests on any of the 2Rx supported RF bands, with the same requirements specified with 2Rx applied. Within the CA configuration if any of the PCell and/or the SCells and/or PSCells is a 4Rx supported RF band, the antenna connection should follow the same as illustrated in Figure 8.1.2.12.1-1 and Figure 8.1.2.12.1-2 for single carrier tests on any of the 4 Rx supported RF bands, with the SNR requirements applied with 1.5dB less than the number specified with 2Rx. Within the CA configuration if any of the PCell and/or the SCells and/or PSCells is an 8Rx supported RF band, the antenna connection should follow the same as illustrated in Figure 8.1.2.12.1-1 and Figure 8.1.2.12.1-2 for single carrier tests on any of the 8Rx supported RF bands, with the SNR requirements applied with 3.0dB less than the number specified with 2Rx for PDSCH tests and 1.5dB less than the number specified with 2Rx for control channel tests. Same applicability rules defined in 8.1.2.3, 8.1.2.3A, and 8.1.2.3B for CA, TDD-FDD CA and DC applied for different CA and DC configurations and bandwidth combination sets should be applied for 8 Rx capable UEs. 8.1.2.12.3.2 Applicability rule and antenna connection for CA tests with 4Rx All tests specified in 8.13 with 4Rx with FDD CA/DC, TDD CA/DC and TDD-FDD CA/DC are tested with 8 Rx capable UEs. Within the CA/DC configuration if any of the PCell and/or the SCells and/or PSCells is a 4Rx supported RF band, the antenna connection should follow the same method as defined in 8.1.2.12.1 and 8.1.2.12.2 for single carrier tests on any of the 4Rx supported RF bands, with the same requirements specified with 4Rx applied. Within the CA configuration if any of the PCell and/or the SCells and/or PSCells is an 8Rx supported RF band, the antenna connection should follow the same as illustrated in Figure 8.1.2.12.1-3 and Figure 8.1.2.12.1-4 for single carrier PDSCH tests on any of the 8Rx supported RF bands, with the SNR requirements applied with 1.5dB less than the number specified with 4Rx for PDSCH tests, and with the same SNR requirements as specified with 4Rx applied for control channel test. Same applicability rules defined in 8.1.2.6.5 for CA, TDD-FDD CA and DC applied for different CA and DC configurations and bandwidth combination sets should be applied for 8 Rx capable UEs. 8.1.2.12.3.3 Applicability rule and antenna connection for CA tests with 8Rx All tests specified in 8.14.2 with 8Rx with TDD CA are tested with 8 Rx capable UEs. Within the CA configuration if any of the PCell and/or the SCells and/or PSCells is an 8Rx supported RF band, the antenna connection should follow the same method as defined in 8.1.2.12.1 for single carrier PDSCH tests on any of the 8Rx supported RF bands, with the same requirements specified with 8Rx applied. For 8Rx capable UEs supporting different CA configurations and bandwidth combination sets, the applicability and test rules are defined in Table 8.1.2.12.3-1 for TDD CA. For simplicity, CA configuration below refers to combination of CA configuration and bandwidth combination set. Table 8.1.2.12.3-1: Applicability and test rules for CA UE demodulation tests
