Section: 7.7.1A Minimum requirements for CA
Content: For inter-band carrier aggregation with one component carrier per operating band and the uplink assigned to one E-UTRA band the spurious response requirements are defined with the uplink active on the band(s) other than the band whose downlink is being tested. The throughput measured in each downlink with Finterferer in Table 7.6.2.1A-0 and Table 7.6.2.1A-0a at spurious response frequencies 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 Tables 7.7.1-1 and 7.7.1-2. The UE shall meet these requirements for each component carrier while all downlink carriers are active. For inter-band carrier aggregation with one component carrier per operating band and the uplink active in two E-UTRA bands, the spurious response requirements applicable specified above shall be met with the transmitter power for the uplink set to 7 dB below PCMAX_L,c for each serving cell c. For E-UTRA CA configurations including an operating band without uplink band or an operating band with an unpaired DL part (as noted in Table 5.5-1), the requirements for all downlinks shall be met with the single uplink carrier active in each band capable of UL operation. For E-UTRA CA configurations listed in Table 7.3.1A-0a under conditions for which reference sensitivity for the operating band being tested is N/A, the spurious response requirements of subclause 7.7.1A do not apply. For intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation the downlink SCC(s) shall be configured at nominal channel spacing to the PCC. For FDD, the PCC shall be configured closest to the uplink band. All downlink carriers shall be active throughout the test. The uplink output power shall be set as specified in Table 7.7.1A-1 with the uplink configuration set according to Table 7.-1 for the applicable carrier aggregation configuration. For UE(s) supporting one uplink carrier, the uplink configuration of the PCC shall be in accordance with Table 7.3.1-2. The throughput of each carrier shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annexes , 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.5.2.1) with parameters specified in Tables 7.7.1A-1 and 7.7.1A-2. For operating bands with an unpaired DL part (as noted in Table 5.5-1), the requirements also apply for an SCC assigned in the unpaired part with parameters specified in Tables 7.7.1A-1 and 7.7.1A-2 For intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation with one uplink carrier and two or more downlink sub-blocks, the spurious response requirements are defined with the uplink configuration in accordance with Table 7.3.1A-3. For this uplink configuration, the UE shall meet the requirements for each sub-block as specified in subclauses 7.7.1 and 7.7.1A for one component carrier and two component carriers per sub-block, respectively. The requirements apply with all downlink carriers active. For intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation with two uplink carriers and two or more downlink carriers, the spurious response requirements applicable specified above shall be met with the transmitter powers for the uplinks set to PCMAX_L,c – 7 dBm. Table 7.7.1A-1: Spurious response parameters Table 7.7.1A-2: Spurious response For combinations of intra-band and inter-band carrier aggregation and one uplink carrier assigned to one E-UTRA band, the requirement is defined with the uplink active in a band other than that supporting the downlink(s) under test. The uplink configuration shall be in accordance with Table 7.3.1A-3 when the uplink is active in the band supporting two or more non-contiguous component carriers, Table 7.3.1A-1 when the uplink is active in a band supporting two contiguous component carriers and in accordance with Table 7.3.1-2 when the uplink is active in a band supporting one carrier per band. The downlink PCC shall be configured closer to the uplink operating band than the downlink SCC(s) when the uplink is active in band(s) supporting contiguous aggregation. For the two or more non-contiguous component carriers within the same band, Pwanted in Table 7.6.2.1A-0 is set using RIBNC = 0 dB for all sub-block gaps (Table 7.3.1A-3) while a band supporting contiguously aggregated carriers the out-of-band blocking parameters in Table 7.7.1-1 are replaced by those specified in Table 7.7.1A-1. For each downlink the UE shall meet the spurious-response requirements applicable for inter-band carrier aggregation with one component carrier per operating band. All downlink carriers shall be active throughout the tests and the requirements for the downlinks shall be met with the single uplink carrier active in each band capable of UL operation.
