13.17.2.4 Method of test
|
This test uses the same measurement process as test 13.16.1 for GMSK modulated uplink transmission and 13.17.1 for 8PSK modulated uplink transmission for the MS operating under various RF conditions.
NOTE: The BA list sent on the BCCH will indicate at least six surrounding cells with at least one near to each band edge. It is not necessary to generate any of these BCCH but if they are provided none will be within 5 channels of the ARFCN used for the serving BCCH or PDTCH.
EGPRS Switched Radio Loopback Mode (3GPP TS 04.14, subclause 5.5) shall be utilised. This is since 8PSK modulated transmission is applied in the downlink during the test and EGPRS Switched Radio Loopback Mode is the only mandatory test mode for EGPRS MS that implements different modulations between concurrent downlink and uplink transmission. This test requires such test mode capability since an EGPRS MS is also allowed to support only GMSK modulated uplink transmission.

13.17.2.4.1 Initial conditions
|
The test shall be run under the default EGPRS conditions defined in clause 50 on an ARFCN in the Mid range, with power control parameter ALPHA (α) set to 0. The level of the serving cell BCCH is set to 10 dB above the input signal level at reference sensitivity performance for PDTCH/MCS-5 applicable to the type of MS and the fading function set to RA. The SS waits 30 s for the MS to stabilize to these conditions. The SS commands the MS to transmit at maximum power.

13.17.2.4.2 Procedure
|
a) The SS transmits packets under static conditions, using MCS-5 coding. The SS is set up to capture the first burst transmitted by the MS during the uplink TBF. EGPRS Switched Radio Block Loop Back Mode is initiated by the SS according to the procedure defined in 3GPP TS 04.14; 5.5.1 on a PDTCH/MCS-5 channel in the mid ARFCN range. The PDTCH level is set to 10 dB above the input signal level at reference sensitivity performance for PDTCH/MCS-5 applicable to the type of MS and the fading function is set to RA. 8PSK modulated downlink transmission shall be utilised.
b) The SS calculates the frequency accuracy of the captured burst as described in test 13.16.1 for MS capable of only GMSK modulated transmission in the uplink. For MS capable of both GMSK and 8PSK modulated transmission in the uplink the frequency accuracy of the captured burst shall be calculated as described in the test 13.17.1.
c) The SS sets the serving cell BCCH and PDTCH to the PDTCH input signal level at reference sensitivity performance for PDTCH/MCS-5 applicable to the type of MS, still with the fading function set to RA and then waits 30 s for the MS to stabilize to these conditions.
d) The SS shall capture subsequent bursts from the traffic channel in the manner described in test 13.16.1 or test 13.17.1.
NOTE: Due to the very low signal level at the MS receiver input the MS receiver is liable to error. The "looped back" bits are therefore also liable to error, and hence the SS does not know the expected bit sequence. The SS will have to demodulate the received signal to derive (error free) the transmitter burst bit pattern. Using this bit pattern the SS can calculate the expected phase trajectory according to the definition within 3GPP TS 05.04.
e) The SS calculates the frequency accuracy of the captured burst as described in test 13.16.1 or test 13.17.1.
f) Steps d) and e) are repeated for 5 traffic channel bursts spaced over a period of not less than 20 s.
g) Both downlink and uplink TBFs are terminated. The initial conditions are established again and steps a) to f) are repeated but with the fading function set to HT200 for GSM 400, HT120 for GSM700 and HT100 for all other bands.
h) The initial conditions are established again and steps a) to f) are repeated but with the fading function set to TU100 for GSM 400, TU60 for GSM700 and TU50 for all other bands.
i) The initial conditions are established again and steps a) and b) are repeated but with the following differences:
- the levels of the BCCH and PDTCH are set to – 72,5 dBm + Corr. Corr = the correction factor for reference performance according to Spec 45.005 subclause 6.2.
- two further independent 8-PSK modulated interfering signals are sent on the same nominal carrier frequency as the BCCH and PDTCH and at a level 20,5 dB below the level of the PDTCH and modulated with random data, including the midamble.
- the fading function for all channels including the interfering signals is set to TUlow.
- the SS waits 100 s for the MS to stabilize to these conditions.
j) Repeat steps d) to f), except that at step f) the measurement period must be extended to 200 s and the number of measurements increased to 20.
k) The initial conditions are established again and steps a) to j) are repeated for ARFCN in the Low ARFCN range.
l) The initial conditions are established again and steps a) to j) are repeated for ARFCN in the High ARFCN range.
m) Repeat step h) under extreme test conditions (see annex 1, TC2.2).

13.17.2a Frequency error under multipath and interference conditions for EGPRS2A configuration
13.17.2a.1 Definition
The frequency error under multipath and interference conditions is a measure of the ability of the MS to maintain frequency synchronization with the received signal under conditions of Doppler shift, multipath reception and interference.
Since the conformance requirements, test procedures and test requirement for frequency error under multipath and interference conditions for 8PSK modulation are defined in sub clause 13.17.2 only 16QAM modulation specific requirements and procedures are handled in this sub clause.
13.17.2a.2 Conformance requirement
1. The MS carrier frequency error under 16QAM modulation for each burst shall be accurate to within 0,1 ppm for GSM 700, GSM 850, GSM 900, DCS 1800, PCS 1 900 and 0,2 ppm for GSM 400 compared to signals received from the BS for signal levels down to 3 dB below the reference sensitivity level.
1.1 Under normal conditions; 3GPP TS 45.010, subclauses 6 and 6.1.
1.2 Under extreme conditions; 3GPP TS 45.010, subclauses 6 and 6.1; 3GPP TS 45.005 annex D subclauses D.2.1 and D.2.2.
2. The MS carrier frequency error under 16QAM modulation for each burst shall be accurate to within 0,1 ppm, for GSM 700, GSM 850, GSM 900, DCS 1800 and PCS 1 900 and 0,2 ppm for GSM 400 compared to signals received from the BS for 3 dB less carrier to interference ratio than the reference interference ratios; 3GPP TS 45.010, subclauses 6 and 6.1.
3GPP TS 45.005 subclause 2:
For T-GSM 810 the requirements for GSM 900 shall apply, apart for those parameters for which a separate requirement exists.
13.17.2a.3 Test purpose
1. To verify that the MS carrier frequency error at the PDTCH input level for reference performance, under conditions of multipath and Doppler shift does not exceed 0,1 ppm for GSM 700, T-GSM 810, GSM 850, GSM 900, DCS 1 800 and PCS 1 900 and 0,2 ppm for GSM 400 + the frequency error due to the Doppler shift of the received signal and the assessment error in the MS.
1.1 Under normal conditions.
1.2 Under extreme conditions.
NOTE 1: Although the conformance requirement states that frequency synchronization should be maintained for input signals 3 dB below PDTCH input level for reference performance. Due to the Radio Link Failure counter this test condition cannot be established. Hence all tests in this subclause are conducted at PDTCH input level for reference performance.
2. To verify that the MS carrier frequency error, under interference conditions and TUlow fading profile, does not exceed 0,1 ppm for GSM 700, T-GSM 810, GSM 850, GSM 900, DCS 1 800 and PCS 1 900 and 0,2 ppm for GSM 400 + the frequency error due to the Doppler shift of the received signal and the assessment error in the MS.
NOTE 2: The test adds the effect of Doppler shift to the requirements as the conformance requirement refers to signals input to the MS receiver whereas the frequency reference for measurement will not take account of the Doppler shift.
13.17.2a.4 Method of test
This test uses the same measurement process as test 13.16.1 for GMSK modulated uplink transmission and 13.17.1a for 16QAM modulated uplink transmission for the MS operating under various RF conditions.
NOTE: The BA list sent on the BCCH will indicate at least six surrounding cells with at least one near to each band edge. It is not necessary to generate any of these BCCH but if they are provided none will be within 5 channels of the ARFCN used for the serving BCCH or PDTCH.
EGPRS Switched Radio Loopback Mode (3GPP TS 44.014, sub clause 5.5) with 16QAM uplink and 16QAM downlink TBF shall be utilised.
13.17.2a.4.1 Initial conditions
The test shall be run under the default EGPRS conditions defined in clause 50 on an ARFCN in the Mid range, with power control parameter ALPHA (α) set to 0. The level of the serving cell BCCH is set to 10 dB above the input signal level at reference sensitivity performance for PDTCH/DAS-applicable to the type of MS and the fading function set to RA. The SS waits 30 s for the MS to stabilize to these conditions. The SS commands the MS to transmit at maximum power.
13.17.2a.4.2 Test procedure
Procedure for 16QAM frequency error under multipath and interference conditions
a) The SS transmits packets under static conditions, using DAS-8 coding. The SS is set up to capture the first burst transmitted by the MS during the uplink TBF. EGPRS Switched Radio Block Loop Back Mode is initiated by the SS according to the procedure defined in 3GPP TS44.014 section 5.5.1 on a PDTCH/DAS-8 channel in the mid ARFCN range. The PDTCH level is set to 10 dB above the input signal level at reference sensitivity performance for PDTCH/ DAS-8 applicable to the type of MS and the fading function is set to RA. 16QAM modulated downlink transmission shall be utilised.
b) The SS calculates the frequency accuracy of the captured burst as described in test 13.17.1a.
c) The SS sets the serving cell BCCH and PDTCH to the PDTCH input signal level at reference sensitivity performance for PDTCH/ DAS-8, still with the fading function set to RA and then waits 30 s for the MS to stabilize to these conditions.
d) The SS shall capture subsequent bursts from the traffic channel in the manner described in test 13.17.1a.
NOTE: Due to the very low signal level at the MS receiver input the MS receiver is liable to error. The "looped back" bits are therefore also liable to error, and hence the SS does not know the expected bit sequence. The SS will have to demodulate the received signal to derive (error free) the transmitter burst bit pattern. Using this bit pattern the SS can calculate the expected phase trajectory according to the definition within 3GPP TS 45.004.
e) The SS calculates the frequency accuracy of the captured burst as described in test 13.17.1a.
f) Steps d) and e) are repeated for 5 traffic channel bursts spaced over a period of not less than 20 seconds.
g) Both downlink and uplink TBFs are terminated. The initial conditions are established again and steps a) to f) are repeated but with the fading function set to HT200 for GSM 400, HT120 for GSM700 and HT100 for all other bands.
h) Both downlink and uplink TBFs are terminated. The initial conditions are established again and steps a) to f) are repeated but with the fading function set to TU100 for GSM 400, TU60 for GSM700 and TU50 for all other bands.
i) Both downlink and uplink TBFs are terminated. The initial conditions are established again and steps a) and b) are repeated but with the following differences:
- the levels of the BCCH and PDTCH are set to – 72,5 dBm + Corr. Corr = the correction factor for reference performance according to Spec 45.005 sub clause 6.2.
- two further independent 16QAM modulated interfering signals are sent on the same nominal carrier frequency as the BCCH and PDTCH and at a level 20,5 dB below the level of the PDTCH and modulated with random data, including the midamble.
- the fading function for all channels including the interfering signals is set to TUlow.
- the SS waits 100 s for the MS to stabilize to these conditions.
j) Repeat steps d) to f), except that at step f) the measurement period must be extended to 200 s and the number of measurements increased to 20.
k) The initial conditions are established again and steps a) to j) are repeated for ARFCN in the Low ARFCN range.
l) The initial conditions are established again and steps a) to j) are repeated for ARFCN in the High ARFCN range.
m) Repeat step h) under extreme test conditions (see annex 1, TC2.2).
13.17.2a.5 Test requirements
The frequency error, with reference to the SS carrier frequency as measured in repeats of step e), for each measured burst shall be less than the values shown in table 13.17.2a-1.

13.17.3.1 Definition
|
The transmitter output power is the average value of the power delivered to an artificial antenna or radiated by the MS and its integral antenna, over the time that the useful information bits of one burst are transmitted.
Since the conformance requirement, test procedure and test requirement of GSMK modulated signal's output power are defined in subclause 13.16.2 for GPRS MS, being thereby defined also for all EGPRS MS in that section, only 8PSK modulated signal's output power conformance requirement, test procedure and test requirements are defined in this subclause.

From R99 onwards, the MS maximum output power in an uplink multislot configuration shall be as defined in 3GPP TS 05.05 subclause 4.1.1, sixth table, according to its power class, with a tolerance of ±3 dB under normal conditions; 3GPP TS 05.05, subclause 4.1.1, second and sixth table. In case the MS supports the same maximum output power in an uplink multislot configuration as it supports for single slot uplink operation, the tolerance shall be ±2 dB.
2. The MS maximum output power for 8-PSK modulated signal shall be as defined in 3GPP TS 05.05, subclause 4.1.1, second table, according to its power class, with a tolerances of ±2,5 dB, ±4 dB, +4/-4,5 dB defined under extreme conditions in the 3GPP TS 05.05, subclause 4.1.1, second table. From R99 onwards, the MS maximum output power in an uplink multislot configuration shall be as defined in 3GPP TS 05.05 subclause 4.1.1, sixth table, according to its power class, with a tolerance of ±4 dB under extreme conditions; 3GPP TS 05.05, subclause 4.1.1, second and sixth table; 3GPP TS 05.05 annex D in subclauses D.2.1 and D.2.2. In case the MS supports the same maximum output power in an uplink multislot configuration as it supports for single slot uplink operation, the tolerance shall be ±2,5 dB.
3. The power control levels for 8-PSK shall have the nominal output power levels as defined in 3GPP TS 05.05, subclause 4.1.1, third table (for GSM 400, GSM 700, GSM 850 and GSM 900), fourth table (for DCS 1 800) or fifth table (for PCS 1 900), from the lowest power control level up to the maximum output power corresponding to the class of the MS (for tolerance on maximum output power see conformance requirement 1), with a tolerance of ±2 dB,±3 dB, 4 dB or 5 dB under normal conditions; 3GPP TS 05.05, subclause 4.1.1, third, fourth or fifth table.
4. The power control levels for 8-PSK shall have the nominal output power levels as defined in 3GPP TS 05.05, subclause 4.1.1, third table (for GSM 400, GSM 700, GSM 850 and GSM 900), fourth table (for DCS 1 800) or fifth table (for PCS 1 900), from the lowest power control level up to the maximum output power corresponding to the class of the MS (for tolerance on maximum output power see conformance requirements 2), with a tolerance of ±2,5 dB, ±4 dB, 5 dB or 6 dB under extreme conditions; 3GPP TS 05.05, subclause 4.1.1, third, fourth or fifth table; 3GPP TS 05.05 annex D subclauses D.2.1 and D.2.2.
4a. From R99 onwards, the supported maximum output power for each number of uplink timeslots shall form a monotonic sequence. The maximum reduction of maximum output power from an allocation of n uplink timeslots to an allocation of n+1 uplink timeslots shall be equal to the difference of maximum permissible nominal reduction of maximum output power for the corresponding number of timeslots, as defined in 3GPP TS 05.05, subclause 4.1.1, sixth table.
5. For 8-PSK, the output power actually transmitted by the MS at consecutive power control levels shall form a monotonic sequence and the interval between power control levels shall be 2 ± 1,5 dB; 3GPP TS 05.05, subclause 4.1.1, from R99 onwards, in a multislot configuration, the first power control step down from the maximum output power is allowed to be in the range 0…2 dB
6. The transmitted power level relative to time for a normal burst shall be within the power/time template given in 3GPP TS 05.05, annex B bottom figure for 8PSK modulated signal. In the case of Multislot Configurations where the bursts in two or more consecutive time slots are actually transmitted at the same frequency, the template of annex B shall be respected during the useful part of each burst and at the beginning and the end of the series of consecutive bursts. The output power during the guard period between every two consecutive active timeslots shall not exceed the level allowed for the useful part of the first timeslot, or the level allowed for the useful part of the second timeslot plus 3 dB, whichever is the highest.
6.1 Under normal conditions; 3GPP TS 05.05, subclause 4.5.2.
6.2 Under extreme conditions; 3GPP TS 05.05, subclause 4.5.2, 3GPP TS 05.05 annex D subclauses D.2.1 and D.2.2.
On a multislot uplink configuration the MS may restrict the interslot output power control range to a 10 dB window, on a TDMA frame basis. On those timeslots where the ordered power level is more than 10 dB lower than the applied power level of the highest power timeslot, the MS shall transmit at a lowest possible power level within 10 dB range from the highest applied power level, if not transmitting at the actual ordered power level.
3GPP TS 45.05 subclause 2:
For T-GSM 810 the requirements for GSM 900 shall apply, apart for those parameters for which a separate requirement exists.

13.17.3.4 Methods of test
|
Two methods of test are described, separately for:
1) equipment fitted with a permanent antenna connector or fitted with a temporary test connector as a test fixture; and for
2) equipment fitted with an integral antenna, and which cannot be connected to an external antenna.
NOTE: The behaviour of the MS in the system is determined to a high degree by the antenna, and this is the only transmitter test in this ETS using the integral antenna. Further studies are ongoing on improved testing on the integral antenna, taking practical conditions of MS use into account.

13.17.3.4.1.1 Initial conditions
|
The test shall be run under the default EGPRS conditions defined in clause 50 with an ARFCN in the mid ARFCN range.
The Test Mode defined in 3GPP TS 04.14 subclause 5.4 shall be utilised. If the MS is capable of both:
Mode (a) transmitting pseudo-random data sequence in RLC data blocks;
Mode (b) transmitting looped-back RLC data blocks.
Then Mode (a) will be used. The SS orders the MS to transmit on the uplink with 8PSK modulation, on a mid range ARFCN, power control level set to Max power and MS to operate in its highest number of uplink slots.
The SS controls the power level by setting the concerned timeslot’s power control parameter ALPHA () to 0 and GAMMA_TN (CH) to the desired power level in the Packet Uplink Assignment or Packet Time Slot Reconfigure message (Closed Loop Control, see 3GPP TS 05.08, clause B.2) GPRS_ MS TXPWR_MAX_CCH / MS TXPWR_MAX_CCH is set to the maximum value supported by the Power Class of the Mobile under test. For DCS 1 800 mobile stations the POWER_OFFSET parameter is set to 6 dB.

13.17.3.4.1.2 Test procedure
|
a) Measurement of normal burst transmitter output power
For 8PSK, power may be determined by applying the technique described for GMSK in subclause 13.16.2.4.1.2; step a) and then averaging over multiple bursts to achieve sufficient accuracy (see annex 5). Alternatively, an estimation technique based on a single burst which can be demonstrated to yield the same result as the long term average may be used. The long term average or the estimate of long term average is used as the 0dB reference for the power/time template.
b) Measurement of normal burst power/time relationship. The array of power samples measured in a) are referenced in time to the centre of the useful transmitted symbols and in power to the 0 dB reference, both identified in a).
c) Steps a) to b) are repeated on each timeslot within the multislot configuration with the MS commanded to operate on each of the nominal output power levels defined in tables 13.17.3-1, 13.17.3-2 and 13.17.3-3.
NOTE: Power control levels 0 and 1 are excluded for bands other than DCS 1800 and PCS 1900 since these power control levels can not be set by GAMMA_TN.
d) The SS commands the MS to the maximum power control level supported by the MS and steps a) to b) are repeated on each timeslot within the multislot configuration for ARFCN in the Low and High ranges.
e) The SS commands the MS to the maximum power control level in the first timeslot allocated within the multislot configuration and to the minimum power control level in the second timeslot allocated. Any further timeslots allocated are to be set to the maximum power control level. Steps a) to b) and corresponding measurements on each timeslot within the multislot configuration are repeated. This step is only applicable to MS which support more than one uplink time slot.
f) Steps a) to e) are repeated under extreme test conditions (annex 1, TC2.2) except that the repeats at step c) are only performed for power control level 10 and the minimum nominal output power level supported by the MS.

13.17.3.4.2 Method of test for equipment with an integral antenna
|
NOTE: If the MS is equipped with a permanent connector, such that the antenna can be disconnected and the SS be connected directly, then the method of subclause 13.17.3.4.1 will be applied.
The tests in this subclause are performed on an unmodified test sample.

13.17.3.4.2.1 Initial conditions
|
The MS is placed in the anechoic shielded chamber (annex 1, GC5) or on the outdoor test site, on an isolated support, in the position for normal use, at a distance of at least 3 metres from a test antenna, connected to the SS.
NOTE: The test method described has been written for measurement in an anechoic shielded chamber. If an outdoor test site is used then, in addition, it is necessary to raise/lower the test antenna through the specified height range to maximize the received power levels from both the test sample and the substitution antenna.
The initial conditions for the MS are defined in subclause 13.17.3a.4.1.1
13.17.3a.4.2.2 Test procedure
a) With the initial conditions set according to subclause 13.17.3a.4.2.1 the test procedure in subclause 13.17.3a.4.1.2 is followed up to and including step e), except that in step a), when measurements are done at maximum power for ARFCN in the Low, Mid and High range, the measurement is made eight times with the MS rotated by n*45 degrees for all values of n in the range 0 to 7.
The measurements taken are received transmitter output power measurements rather than transmitter output power measurements, the output power measurement values can be derived as follows.
b) Assessment of test site loss for scaling of received output power measurements.
The MS is replaced by a half-wave dipole, resonating at the centre frequency of the transmit band, connected to an RF generator.
The frequency of the RF signal generator is set to the frequency of the ARFCN used for the 24 measurements in step a), the output power is adjusted to reproduce the received transmitter output power averages recorded in step a).
For each indication the power, delivered by the generator (in Watts) to the half-wave dipole, is recorded. These values are recorded in the form Pnc, where n = MS rotation and c = channel number.
For each channel number used compute:
from which: Pac (Tx dBm) = 10log10(Pac) + 30 + 2,15
The difference, for each of the three channels, between the actual transmitter output power averaged over the 8 measurement orientations and the received transmitter output power at orientation n = 0 is used to scale the received measurement results to actual transmitter output powers for all measured power control levels and ARFCN, which can then be checked against the requirements.
c) Temporary antenna connector calibration factors (transmit)
A modified test sample equipped with a temporary antenna connector is placed in a climatic test chamber and is linked to the SS by means of the temporary antenna connector.
Under normal test conditions, the power measurement and calculation parts of steps a) to e) of subclause 13.17.3a.4.1.2 are repeated except that the repeats at step d) are only performed for power control level 10 and the minimum nominal output power level supported by the MS.
NOTE 1: The values noted here are related to the output transmitter carrier power levels under normal test conditions, which are known after step b). Therefore frequency dependent calibration factors that account for the effects of the temporary antenna connector can be determined.
d) Measurements at extreme test conditions.
NOTE 2: Basically the procedure for extreme conditions is:
- the power/time template is tested in the "normal" way;
- the radiated power is measured by measuring the difference with respect to the radiated power under normal test conditions.
Under extreme test conditions steps a) to e) of subclause 13.17.3a.4.1.2 are repeated except that the repeats at step d) are only performed for power control level 10 and the minimum nominal output power level supported by the MS.
The transmitter output power under extreme test conditions is calculated for each burst type, power control level and for every frequency used by adding the frequency dependent calibration factor, determined in c), to the values obtained at extreme conditions in this step.
13.17.3a.5 Test requirements
a) The transmitter output power for the 16-QAM modulated signals, under every combination of normal and extreme test conditions, for normal bursts, at each frequency and for each power control level applicable to the MS power class, shall be at the relevant level shown in table 13.17.3a-1 or table 13.17.3a-2 within the tolerances also shown in table 13.17.3a-1 or table 13.17.3a-2.

13.17.3b.4.1.2 Procedure
a) Measurement of normal burst transmitter output power.
The SS takes power measurement samples evenly distributed over the duration of one burst with a sampling rate of at least 2/T, where T is the bit duration. The samples are identified in time with respect to the modulation on the burst. The SS identifies the centre of the useful 147 transmitted bits, i.e. the transition from bit 13 to bit 14 of the midamble, as the timing reference.
The transmitter output power is calculated as the average of the samples over the 147 useful bits. This is also used as the 0 dB reference for the power/time template.
b) Measurement of normal burst power/time relationship
The array of power samples measured in a) are referenced in time to the centre of the useful transmitted bits and in power to the 0 dB reference, both identified in a).
c) Steps a) to b) are repeated on each timeslot within the multislot configuration with the MS commanded to operate on each of the nominal output power levels defined in tables 13.17.3b-1, 13.17.3b-2 and 13.17.3b-3, and in step a) only on one nominal output power higher than supported by the MS.
NOTE: Power control levels 0 and 1 are excluded for bands other than DCS 1800 and PCS 1900 since these power control levels can not be set by GAMMA_TN.
d) The SS commands the MS to the maximum power control level supported by the MS and steps a) to b) are repeated on each timeslot within the multislot configuration for ARFCN in the Low and High ranges.
e) The SS commands the MS to the maximum power control level in the first timeslot allocated within the multislot configuration and to the minimum power control level in the second timeslot allocated. Any further timeslots allocated are to be set to the maximum power control level. Steps a) to b) and corresponding measurements on each timeslot within the multislot configuration are repeated.
f) Measurement of access burst transmitter output power
The SS causes the MS to generate an EC Access Burst on an ARFCN in the Mid ARFCN range, this could be either by a cell re-selection or a new request for radio resource. In the case of a cell re-selection procedure the Power Level indicated in the PSI3 message is the maximum power control level supported by the MS. In the case of an Access Burst the MS shall use the Power Level indicated in the GPRS_MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH parameter. If the power class of the MS is DCS 1 800 Class 3 and the Power Level is indicated by the MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH parameter, the MS shall also use the POWER_OFFSET parameter.
The SS takes power measurement samples evenly distributed over the duration of the access burst as described in a). However, in this case the SS identifies the centre of the useful bits of the burst by identifying the transition from the last bit of the synch sequence. The centre of the burst is then five data bits prior to this point and is used as the timing reference.
The transmitter output power is calculated as the average of the samples over the 87 useful bits of the burst. This is also used as the 0 dB reference for the power/time template.
g) Measurement of access burst power/time relationship
The array of power samples measured in f) is referenced in time to the centre of the useful transmitted bits and in power to the 0 dB reference, both identified in f).
h) Depending on the method used in step f) to cause the MS to send an EC Access Burst, the SS sends either a PACKET CELL CHANGE ORDER along with power control level set to 10 in PSI3 parameter GPRS_MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH or it changes the (Packet) System Information elements (GPRS_)MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH and for DCS 1 800 the POWER_OFFSET on the serving cell PBCCH/BCCH in order to limit the MS transmit power on the Access Burst to power control level 10 (+23 dBm for bands other than DCS 1800 and PCS 1900 or +10 dBm for DCS 1 800 and PCS 1 900) and then steps f) to g) are repeated.
j) Steps a) to h) are repeated under extreme test conditions (annex 1, TC2.2) except that the repeats at step c) are only performed for power control level 10 and the minimum nominal output power level supported by the MS.
13.17.3b.5 Test requirements

13.17.3.4.2.2 Test procedure
|
a) With the initial conditions set according to subclause 13.17.3.4.2.1 the test procedure in subclause 13.17.3.4.1.2 is followed up to and including step e), except that in step a), when measurements are done at maximum power for ARFCN in the Low, Mid and High range, the measurement is made eight times with the MS rotated by n*45 degrees for all values of n in the range 0 to 7.
The measurements taken are received transmitter output power measurements rather than transmitter output power measurements, the output power measurement values can be derived as follows.
b) Assessment of test site loss for scaling of received output power measurements.
The MS is replaced by a half-wave dipole, resonating at the centre frequency of the transmit band, connected to an RF generator.
The frequency of the RF signal generator is set to the frequency of the ARFCN used for the 24 measurements in step a), the output power is adjusted to reproduce the received transmitter output power averages recorded in step a).
For each indication the power, delivered by the generator (in Watts) to the half-wave dipole, is recorded. These values are recorded in the form Pnc, where n = MS rotation and c = channel number.
For each channel number used compute:
from which: Pac (Tx dBm) = 10log10(Pac) + 30 + 2,15
The difference, for each of the three channels, between the actual transmitter output power averaged over the 8 measurement orientations and the received transmitter output power at orientation n = 0 is used to scale the received measurement results to actual transmitter output powers for all measured power control levels and ARFCN, which can then be checked against the requirements.
c) Temporary antenna connector calibration factors (transmit)
A modified test sample equipped with a temporary antenna connector is placed in a climatic test chamber and is linked to the SS by means of the temporary antenna connector.
Under normal test conditions, the power measurement and calculation parts of steps a) to e) of subclause 13.17.3.4.1.2 are repeated except that the repeats at step d) are only performed for power control level 10 and the minimum nominal output power level supported by the MS.
NOTE 1: The values noted here are related to the output transmitter carrier power levels under normal test conditions, which are known after step b). Therefore frequency dependent calibration factors that account for the effects of the temporary antenna connector can be determined.
d) Measurements at extreme test conditions.
NOTE 2: Basically the procedure for extreme conditions is:
- the power/time template is tested in the "normal" way;
- the radiated power is measured by measuring the difference with respect to the radiated power under normal test conditions.
Under extreme test conditions steps a) to e) of subclause 13.17.3.4.1.2 are repeated except that the repeats at step d) are only performed for power control level 10 and the minimum nominal output power level supported by the MS.
The transmitter output power under extreme test conditions is calculated for each burst type, power control level and for every frequency used by adding the frequency dependent calibration factor, determined in c), to the values obtained at extreme conditions in this step.

13.17.3a Transmitter output power in EGPRS2A configuration
13.17.3a.1 Definition
The transmitter output power is the average value of the power delivered to an artificial antenna or radiated by the MS and its integral antenna, over the time that the useful information bits of one burst are transmitted.
Since the conformance requirement, test procedure and test requirement of GMSK modulated signal's output power are defined in subclause 13.16.2 for GPRS MS, being thereby defined also for all EGPRS MS in that section and the conformance requirement, test procedure and test requirement of 8-PSK modulated signal's output power are defined in subclause 13.17.3 for EGPRS MS, only 16-QAM modulated signal's output power conformance requirement, test procedure and test requirements are defined in this subclause.

1. The MS maximum output power for 16-QAM modulated signal shall be as defined in 3GPP TS 45.005, subclause 4.1.1, second table, according to its power class, with a tolerances of ±2 dB, ±3 dB, +3/-4 dB defined under normal conditions in the 3GPP TS 45.005, subclause 4.1.1, second table. From R99 onwards, the MS maximum output power in an uplink multislot configuration shall be as defined in 3GPP TS 45.005 subclause 4.1.1, sixth table, according to its power class, with a tolerance of ±3 dB under normal conditions; 3GPP TS 45.005, subclause 4.1.1, second and seventh table. In case the MS supports the same maximum output power in an uplink multislot configuration as it supports for single slot uplink operation, the tolerance shall be ±2 dB.

From R99 onwards, the MS maximum output power in an uplink multislot configuration shall be as defined in 3GPP TS 45.005 subclause 4.1.1, sixth table, according to its power class, with a tolerance of ±4 dB under extreme conditions; 3GPP TS 45.005, subclause 4.1.1, second and seventh table; 3GPP TS 45.005 annex D in subclauses D.2.1 and D.2.2. In case the MS supports the same maximum output power in an uplink multislot configuration as it supports for single slot uplink operation, the tolerance shall be ±2,5 dB.
3. The power control levels for 16-QAM shall have the nominal output power levels as defined in 3GPP TS 45.005, subclause 4.1.1, fourth table (for GSM 400, GSM 700, GSM 850 and GSM 900), fifth table (for DCS 1 800) or sixth table (for PCS 1 900), from the lowest power control level up to the maximum output power corresponding to the class of the MS (for tolerance on maximum output power see conformance requirement 1), with a tolerance of ±2 dB,±3 dB, 4 dB or 5 dB under normal conditions; 3GPP TS 45.005, subclause 4.1.1, fourth, fifth or sixth table.

4a. From R99 onwards, the supported maximum output power for each number of uplink timeslots shall form a monotonic sequence. The maximum reduction of maximum output power from an allocation of n uplink timeslots to an allocation of n+1 uplink timeslots shall be equal to the difference of maximum permissible nominal reduction of maximum output power for the corresponding number of timeslots, as defined in 3GPP TS 45.005, subclause 4.1.1, seventh table.
5. For 16-QAM, the output power actually transmitted by the MS at consecutive power control levels shall form a monotonic sequence and the interval between power control levels shall be 2 ± 1,5 dB; 3GPP TS 45.005, subclause 4.1.1, from R99 onwards, in a multislot configuration, the first power control step down from the maximum output power is allowed to be in the range 0…2 dB

The output power during the guard period between every two consecutive active timeslots shall not exceed the level allowed for the useful part of the first timeslot, or the level allowed for the useful part of the second timeslot plus 3 dB, whichever is the highest.
6.1 Under normal conditions; 3GPP TS 45.005, subclause 4.5.2.
6.2 Under extreme conditions; 3GPP TS 45.005, subclause 4.5.2, 3GPP TS 45.005 annex D subclauses D.2.1 and D.2.2.
On a multislot uplink configuration the MS may restrict the interslot output power control range to a 10 dB window, on a TDMA frame basis. On those timeslots where the ordered power level is more than 10 dB lower than the applied power level of the highest power timeslot, the MS shall transmit at a lowest possible power level within 10 dB range from the highest applied power level, if not transmitting at the actual ordered power level.
3GPP TS 45.005 subclause 2:
For T-GSM 810 the requirements for GSM 900 shall apply, apart for those parameters for which a separate requirement exists.

13.17.3a.4 Methods of test
Two methods of test are described, separately for:
1) equipment fitted with a permanent antenna connector or fitted with a temporary test connector as a test fixture; and for
2) equipment fitted with an integral antenna, and which cannot be connected to an external antenna.
NOTE: The behaviour of the MS in the system is determined to a high degree by the antenna, and this is the only transmitter test in this ETS using the integral antenna. Further studies are ongoing on improved testing on the integral antenna, taking practical conditions of MS use into account.
13.17.3a.4.1 Method of test for equipment with a permanent or temporary antenna connector
13.17.3a.4.1.1 Initial conditions
The test shall be run under the default EGPRS conditions defined in clause 50 with an ARFCN in the mid ARFCN range.
The Test Mode defined in 3GPP TS 44.014 subclause 5.4 shall be utilised. If the MS is capable of both:
Mode (a) transmitting pseudo-random data sequence in RLC data blocks;
Mode (b) transmitting looped-back RLC data blocks.
Then Mode (a) will be used. The SS orders the MS to transmit on the uplink with 16-QAM modulation, on a mid range ARFCN, power control level set to Max power and MS to operate in its highest number of uplink slots.
The SS controls the power level by setting the concerned timeslot’s power control parameter ALPHA () to 0 and GAMMA_TN (CH) to the desired power level in the Packet Uplink Assignment or Packet Time Slot Reconfigure message (Closed Loop Control, see 3GPP TS 45.008, clause B.2) GPRS_ MS TXPWR_MAX_CCH / MS TXPWR_MAX_CCH is set to the maximum value supported by the Power Class of the Mobile under test. For DCS 1 800 mobile stations the POWER_OFFSET parameter is set to 6 dB.
Specific PICS Statements:
- MS using reduced interslot dynamic range in multislot configurations (TSPC_AddInfo_Red_IntSlotRange_Mult_Conf).
- 8-PSK_MULTISLOT_POWER_PROFILE 0..3 (TSPC_Type_8-PSK_Multislot_Power_Profile_x)

13.17.3a.4.1.2 Test procedure
a) Measurement of normal burst transmitter output power
For 16-QAM, power may be determined by applying the technique described for GMSK in subclause 13.16.2.4.1.2; step a) and then averaging over multiple bursts to achieve sufficient accuracy (see annex 5). Alternatively, an estimation technique based on a single burst which can be demonstrated to yield the same result as the long term average may be used. The long term average or the estimate of long term average is used as the 0dB reference for the power/time template.
b) Measurement of normal burst power/time relationship. The array of power samples measured in a) are referenced in time to the centre of the useful transmitted symbols and in power to the 0 dB reference, both identified in a).
c) Steps a) to b) are repeated on each timeslot within the multislot configuration with the MS commanded to operate on each of the nominal output power levels defined in tables 13.17.3-1, 13.17.3-2 and 13.17.3-3.
NOTE: Power control levels 0 and 1 are excluded for bands other than DCS 1800 and PCS 1900 since these power control levels can not be set by GAMMA_TN.
d) The SS commands the MS to the maximum power control level supported by the MS and steps a) to b) are repeated on each timeslot within the multislot configuration for ARFCN in the Low and High ranges.
e) The SS commands the MS to the maximum power control level in the first timeslot allocated within the multislot configuration and to the minimum power control level in the second timeslot allocated. Any further timeslots allocated are to be set to the maximum power control level. Steps a) to b) and corresponding measurements on each timeslot within the multislot configuration are repeated. This step is only applicable to MS which support more than one uplink time slot.
f) Steps a) to e) are repeated under extreme test conditions (annex 1, TC2.2) except that the repeats at step c) are only performed for power control level 10 and the minimum nominal output power level supported by the MS.
13.17.3a.4.2 Method of test for equipment with an integral antenna
NOTE: If the MS is equipped with a permanent connector, such that the antenna can be disconnected and the SS be connected directly, then the method of subclause 13.17.3a.4.1 will be applied.
The tests in this subclause are performed on an unmodified test sample.

13.17.4.1 Definition

The output RF spectrum is the relationship between the frequency offset from the carrier and the power, measured in a specified bandwidth and time, produced by the MS due to the effects of modulation and power ramping.
Since the conformance requirement, test procedure and test requirement of GSMK modulated signal's output RF spectrum are defined in subclause 13.16.3 for GPRS MS, being thereby defined also for all EGPRS MS in that section, only 8PSK modulated signal's RF output spectrum conformance requirement, test procedure and test requirements are defined in this subclause.

13.17.4.4 Method of test
|
Initial conditions
The test shall be run under the default EGPRS conditions defined in clause 50, with power control parameter ALPHA (α) set to 0.
The Test Mode defined in 3GPP TS 04.14 subclause 5.4 shall be utilised. If the MS I s capable of both:
Mode (a) transmitting pseudo-random data sequence in RLC data blocks;
Mode (b) transmitting looped-back RLC data blocks;
then Mode (a) will be used.
The SS commands the MS to transmit with its maximum number of uplink slots, with 8PSK modulation in hopping mode. The hopping pattern includes only three channels, namely one with an ARFCN in the Low ARFCN range, a second one with an ARFCN in the Mid ARFCN range and the third one with an ARFCN in the High ARFCN range.
The SS shall use a transmission level of 23 dBVemf( ).
NOTE 1: Although the measurement is made whilst the MS is in hopping mode, each measurement is on one single channel.
NOTE 2: This test is specified in hopping mode as a simple means of making the MS change channel, it would be sufficient to test in non hopping mode and to cell re-select the MS between the three channels tested at the appropriate time.
NOTE 3: Mid ARFCN range for GSM 900 will use the range 63-65 ARFCN

13.17.4.4.2 Test procedure
|
NOTE: When averaging is in use during frequency hopping mode, the averaging only includes bursts transmitted when the hopping carrier corresponds to the nominal carrier of the measurement.
a) In steps b) to h) the FT is equal to the hop pattern ARFCN in the Mid ARFCN range.
b) The other settings of the spectrum analyser are set as follows:
- Zero frequency scan;
- Resolution bandwidth: 30 kHz;
- Video bandwidth: 30 kHz;
- Video averaging: may be used, depending on the implementation of the test.
The video signal of the spectrum analyser is "gated" such that the spectrum generated by at least 40 of the symbols 87 to 132 of the burst in one of the active time slots is the only spectrum measured. This gating may be analogue or numerical, dependent upon the design of the spectrum analyser. Only measurements during transmitted bursts on the nominal carrier of the measurement are included. The spectrum analyser averages over the gated period and over 200 or 50 such bursts, using numerical and/or video averaging.

NOTE 2: These figures are different from the requirements in 3GPP TS 05.05 because at higher power levels it is the modulation spectrum which is being measured using a peak hold measurement. This allowance is given in the table.
NOTE 3: The figures for table 13.17.3-5 and table 13.17.3-6 assume that, using the peak hold measurement, the lowest level measurable is 8 dB above the level of the modulation specification using the 30 kHz bandwidth gated average technique for 400 kHz offset from the carrier. At 600 and 1 200 kHz offset the level is 6 dB above and at 1 800 kHz offset the level is 3 dB above. The figures for 1 800 kHz have assumed the 30 kHz bandwidth spectrum due to modulation specification at <1 800 kHz.
13.17.4a Output RF spectrum in EGPRS2A configuration
13.17.4a.1 Definition
The output RF spectrum is the relationship between the frequency offset from the carrier and the power, measured in a specified bandwidth and time, produced by the MS due to the effects of modulation and power ramping.
Since the conformance requirement, test procedure and test requirement of GSMK modulated signal's output RF spectrum are defined in subclause 13.16.3 for GPRS MS, being thereby defined also for all EGPRS MS in that section and the conformance requirement, test procedure and test requirement of 8-PSK modulated signal's output RF spectrum in EGPRS configuration subclause 13.17.4, only 16-QAM modulated signal's RF output spectrum conformance requirement, test procedure and test requirements are defined in this subclause.13.17.4a.2 Conformance requirement
1. The level of the output RF spectrum due to 16-QAM modulation shall be no more than that given in 3GPP TS 45.005, subclause 4.2.1, with the following lowest measurement limits:
- -36 dBm below 600 kHz offset from the carrier;

- -46 dBm for GSM 400, GSM 700, GSM 850 and GSM 900 or -51 dBm for DCS 1 800 and PCS 1 900 at and beyond 1 800 kHz offset from the carrier;
but with the following exceptions at up to -36 dBm:
- up to three bands of 200 kHz width centred on a frequency which is an integer multiple of 200 kHz in the combined range 600 kHz to 6 000 kHz above and below the carrier;
- up to 12 bands of 200 kHz width centred on a frequency which is an integer multiple of 200 kHz at more than 6 000 kHz offset from the carrier.

For GSM 400 mobiles, in addition, a limit of -67 dBm shall apply in the frequency bands 460,4 MHz to 467,6 MHz and 488,8 MHz to 496 MHz.
For GSM 700, GSM 850 and PCS 1 900, the power emitted by MS, in the band of 728 MHz to 736 MHz shall be no more than -73 dBm, in the band of 736 MHz to 746 MHz shall be no more than -79 dBm, in the band of 747 MHz to 757 MHz shall be no more than -79 dBm, in the band of 757 MHz to 763 MHz shall be no more than -73 dBm, in the band 869 MHz to 894 MHz shall be no more than -79 dBm, in the band 1 930 MHz to 1 990 MHz shall be no more than -71 dBm except in five measurements in each of the bands 728 MHz to 746 MHz, 747 MHz to 763 MHz, 869 MHz to 894 MHz and 1 930 MHz to 1 990 MHz where exceptions at up to -36 dBm are permitted; 3GPP TS 45.005, subclause 4.3.3.

NOTE: For EGPRS MS capable of 16-QAM multislot configuration in the uplink, the tests are executed only for multislot configuration.
13.17.4a.4 Method of test
Initial conditions
The test shall be run under the default EGPRS conditions defined in clause 50, with power control parameter ALPHA (α) set to 0.
The Test Mode defined in 3GPP TS 44.014 subclause 5.4 shall be utilised. If the MS is capable of both:
Mode (a) transmitting pseudo-random data sequence in RLC data blocks;
Mode (b) transmitting looped-back RLC data blocks;
then Mode (a) will be used.
The SS commands the MS to transmit with its maximum number of uplink slots, with 16-QAM modulation in hopping mode. The hopping pattern includes only three channels, namely one with an ARFCN in the Low ARFCN range, a second one with an ARFCN in the Mid ARFCN range and the third one with an ARFCN in the High ARFCN range.
The SS shall use a transmission level of 23 dBVemf( ).
NOTE 1: Although the measurement is made whilst the MS is in hopping mode, each measurement is on one single channel.
NOTE 2: This test is specified in hopping mode as a simple means of making the MS change channel, it would be sufficient to test in non hopping mode and to cell re-select the MS between the three channels tested at the appropriate time.
NOTE 3: Mid ARFCN range for GSM 900 will use the range 63-65 ARFCN
13.17.4a.4.2 Test procedure
NOTE: When averaging is in use during frequency hopping mode, the averaging only includes bursts transmitted when the hopping carrier corresponds to the nominal carrier of the measurement.
a) In steps b) to h) the FT is equal to the hop pattern ARFCN in the Mid ARFCN range.
b) The other settings of the spectrum analyser are set as follows:
- Zero frequency scan;
- Resolution bandwidth: 30 kHz;
- Video bandwidth: 30 kHz;
- Video averaging: may be used, depending on the implementation of the test.
The video signal of the spectrum analyser is "gated" such that the spectrum generated by at least 40 of the symbols 87 to 132 of the burst in one of the active time slots is the only spectrum measured. This gating may be analogue or numerical, dependent upon the design of the spectrum analyser. Only measurements during transmitted bursts on the nominal carrier of the measurement are included. The spectrum analyser averages over the gated period and over 200 or 50 such bursts, using numerical and/or video averaging.
The MS is commanded to its maximum power control level in every transmitted time slot.
c) By tuning the spectrum analyser centre frequency to the measurement frequencies the power level is measured over 50 bursts at all multiples of 30 kHz offset from FT to < 1 800 kHz.
d) The resolution and video bandwidth on the spectrum analyser are adjusted to 100 kHz and the measurements are made at the following frequencies:
on every ARFCN from 1 800 kHz offset from the carrier to the edge of the relevant transmit band for each measurement over 50 bursts.
at 200 kHz intervals over the 2 MHz either side of the relevant transmit band for each measurement over 50 bursts.
For GSM 400 and DCS 1 800:
at 200 kHz intervals over the band 450 MHz to 496 MHz for each measurement over 50 bursts.
at 200 kHz intervals over the band 925 MHz to 960 MHz for each measurement over 50 bursts.
at 200 kHz intervals over the band 1 805 MHz to 1 880 MHz for each measurement over 50 bursts.
For GSM 900
at 200 kHz intervals over the band 925 MHz to 960MHz for each measurement over 50 bursts;
at 200 kHz intervals over the band 1805 MHz to 1880 MHz for each measurement over 50 bursts.
For GSM 700, GSM 850 and DCS 1 900:
at 200 kHz intervals over the band 728MHz to 746 MHz for each measurement over 50 bursts.
at 200 kHz intervals over the band 747 MHz to 763 MHz for each measurement over 50 bursts.
at 200 kHz intervals over the band 869 MHz to 894 MHz for each measurement over 50 bursts.
at 200 kHz intervals over the band 1 930 MHz to 1 990 MHz for each measurement over 50 bursts.
e) The MS is commanded to its minimum power control level. The spectrum analyser is set again as in b).
f) By tuning the spectrum analyser centre frequency to the measurement frequencies the power level is measured over 200 bursts at the following frequencies:
FT;
FT + 100 kHz FT - 100 kHz;
FT + 200 kHz FT - 200 kHz;

FT + 200 kHz * N FT - 200 kHz * N;
where N = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8;
and FT = RF channel nominal centre frequency.
g) Steps a) to f) is repeated except that in step a) the spectrum analyzer is gated so that the burst of the next active time slot is measured.
h) The spectrum analyser settings are adjusted to:
- Zero frequency scan;
- Resolution bandwidth: 30 kHz;
- Video bandwidth: 100 kHz;

j) Step i) is repeated for power control levels 7 and 11.
k) Steps b), f), h) and i) are repeated with FT equal to the hop pattern ARFCN in the Low ARFCN range except that in step h) the MS is commanded to power control level 11 rather than maximum power.
l) Steps b), f), h) and i) are repeated with FT equal to the hop pattern ARFCN in the High ARFCN range except that in step h) the MS is commanded to power control level 11 rather than maximum power.
m) Steps a) b) f) h), and i) are repeated under extreme test conditions (annex 1, TC2.2). except that at step h) the MS is commanded to power control level 11.

c) Any failures (from a) and b) above) in the combined range 600 kHz to 6 MHz above and below the carrier should be re-checked for allowed spurious emissions. For each of the three ARFCN used, spurious emissions are allowed in up to three 200 kHz bands centred on an integer multiple of 200 kHz so long as no spurious emission exceeds -36 dBm. Any spurious emissions measured in a 30 kHz bandwidth which spans two 200 kHz bands can be counted towards either 200 kHz band, whichever minimizes the number of 200 kHz bands containing spurious exceptions.
d) Any failures (from b) above) beyond 6 MHz offset from the carrier should be re-checked for allowed spurious emissions. For each of the three ARFCN used, up to twelve spurious emissions are allowed so long as no spurious emission exceeds -36 dBm.
e) The MS spurious emissions in the bands 390.2 - 400 MHz and 420.2 - 430 MHz , 460,4 MHz to 467,6 MHz, 488,8 MHz to 496 MHz, 851- 866 MHz , 921 - 925 MHz, 925 MHz to 935 MHz, 935 MHz to 960 MHz, 1 805 MHz to 1 880 MHz, 1 850 MHz to 1 910 MHz, 1900 - 1920 MHz, 1920 - 1980 MHz, 2010 - 2025 MHz, 2110 - 2170 MHz and 2300-2400 MHz measured in step d), for all types of MS, shall not exceed the values shown in table 13.16.4-4.
As exceptions up to five measurements with a level up to ‑36 dBm are permitted in each of the bands 851MHz to 866 MHz, 925 MHz to 960 MHz, 1 805 MHz to 1 880 MHz, 1900 - 1920 MHz, 1920 - 1980 MHz, 2010 - 2025 MHz, and 2110 - 2170 MHz for each ARFCN used in the measurements. For GSM 400 MS, in addition, exceptions up to three measurements with a level up to ‑36 dBm are permitted in each of the bands 460,4 MHz to 467,6 MHz and 488,8 MHz to 496 MHz for each ARFCN used in the measurements.
A maximum of five exceptions with a level up to -36 dBm are permitted in each of the band 728 MHz to 746 MHz, 747 MHz to 763 MHz, 869 MHz to 894 MHz and 1 930 MHz to 1 990 MHz for each ARFCN used in the measurements.

NOTE 2: These figures are different from the requirements in 3GPP TS 05.05 because at higher power levels it is the modulation spectrum which is being measured using a peak hold measurement. This allowance is given in the table.
NOTE 3: The figures for table 13.17.3-5 and table 13.17.3-6 assume that, using the peak hold measurement, the lowest level measurable is 8 dB above the level of the modulation specification using the 30 kHz bandwidth gated average technique for 400 kHz offset from the carrier. At 600 and 1 200 kHz offset the level is 6 dB above and at 1 800 kHz offset the level is 3 dB above. The figures for 1 800 kHz have assumed the 30 kHz bandwidth spectrum due to modulation specification at <1 800 kHz.

14 Receiver
In this clause on receiver measurements, the procedures to test equipment which is fitted with a permanent antenna connector, and the procedures to test equipment which is designed to only be used with an integral antenna, are in general combined into one single test description.
Tests on Mobile Stations fitted with an integral antenna and having no means of connecting an external antenna are specified in terms of received field strength. In order to perform tests on such Mobile Stations without the need for separated access to a calibrated test site a temporary antenna connector is used as defined in annex 1 subclause 1.1.3 (General Conditions).
In practice the temporary antenna connector may be used for transmitter measurements described in clause 3, but the calibration factors determined in annex 1 will not be directly usable. The detailed calibration, when needed, for transmission tests are described in the relevant subclauses of 3.
Wherever in this subclause, for FACCH tests, the SS is required to send a Layer 3 message not requiring a Layer 3 response from the MS the message can be a TEST INTERFACE message or a STATUS message, possibly with an unknown Protocol Discriminator.
Testing philosophy
Certain assumptions concerning the functional mechanisms of GSM receivers have been made in order to define tests that will verify the receiver performance without excessive redundancy and excessive test times.
The receiver functions can be divided into:
- Analogue RF and IF stages that are affected by input levels, temperature and power supply levels.
- Demodulator that is affected by input levels and interfering signals.
- Decoders that are affected by the different logical channels and input levels.
The tests are designed to stress each of these blocks with a minimum of redundancy.
Statistical testing of receiver BER/FER performance
Error Definition
1) Frame Erasure Ratio (FER)
A frame is defined as erased if the error detection functions in the receiver, operating in accordance with 3GPP TS 05.03, indicate an error (BFI = 1). For full rate or half rate speech this is the result of the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) as well as other processing functions that cause a Bad Frame Indication (BFI). For signalling channels it is the result of the FIRE code or any other block code used. For data traffic FER is not defined.
2) Residual Bit Error Ratio (RBER).
The Residual Bit Error Ratio is defined as the Bit Error Ratio (BER) in frames which have not been declared as erased.
3) Bit Error Ratio (BER).
The Bit Error Ratio is defined as the ratio of the bits wrongly received to all data bits sent.
4) Unreliable Frame Ratio (UFR).
The Unreliable Frame Ratio is defined as the ratio of frames declared as erased (BFI=1), or unreliable (UFI=1), to the total number of frames transmitted. An unreliable frame is indicated by setting the UFI flag (UFI=1) and an erased frame is indicated by setting the BFI flag (BFI=1) (see 3GPP TS 06.21).
5) Erased SID Frame Ratio (ESIDR).
A SID Frame is erased (SID=0) when the MS does not detect a valid transmitted SID frame as a valid SID frame (SID=2), or an invalid SID frame (SID=1). The Erased SID Frame Ratio is defined as the ratio of erased SID frames (SID=0), to the total number of valid SID frames transmitted (see 3GPP TS 06.41).
6) Erased Valid SID Frame Ratio (EVSIDR).
An Erased Valid SID Frame is declared when the MS does not detect a valid transmitted SID frame as a valid SID frame (SID=2) and (BFI=0 and UFI=0). The Erased Valid SID Frame Ratio is defined as the ratio of erased valid SID frames (SID=0), or (SID=1), or ((BFI or UFI)=1), to the total number of valid SID frames transmitted (see 3GPP TS 06.41).
7) Erased Valid SID_UPDATE frame Rate associated to an adaptive speech traffic channel (EVSIDUR).
This related to the erasure of a SID_UPDATE frame related to an AMR channel (full rate or half rate) due to the failure to detect the SID_UPDATE identifier or to a due to a CRC failure.
8) Erased Valid RATSCCH Frame Rate associated to an adaptive speech traffic channel (EVRFR).
This relates to the erasure of the RATSCCH message due to the failure to detect the RATSCCH identifier or due to a CRC failure.
9) Frame error rate for the In-Band channel (TCH/AFS-INB or TCH/AHS-INB).
This related to the erasure of an AMR speech frame (full rate or half rate) due to the bad decoding of the Mode Indication in-band bits.
Test method
Each test is performed in the following manner:
a) Set up the required test conditions.
b) Perform the test for at least the minimum number of samples (frames, bits or bits from non erased frames) and record the number of offered samples and the number of occurred events (frame, bit or residual bit errors).
c) Terminate the test and determine the test result ("pass" or "fail") by comparing the measured error rate against the test limit error rate.
It is permitted to run the test over more samples than the value stated for minimum number of samples. The effect of increasing the number of samples is always to give a higher probability that a good unit will pass and a lower risk that a bad unit will pass, according to the definitions of good and bad unit in this subclause.
Test criteria
The limits on number of samples and test limit error rate shall be defined in order to comply with different requirements:
1) to keep reasonably low the risk of passing a bad unit for each individual test;
2) to have high probability of passing a good unit for each individual test;
3) to perform measurements with a high degree of statistical significance;
4) to keep the test time as low as possible.
The risk of passing a bad unit (point 1) should be kept lower than 0,2 %. The performance on a full rate channel, or a half rate data channel, is generally considered "bad" if its BER (or FER) performance is 1,5 times worse than that specified in AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise) and 1,26 times worse than that specified in multipath environment. These values have been adopted (taking into account the expected shapes of the BER performance) in order not to pass a unit with performance worse than the specifications by more than 1 dB.
The performance on a half rate speech channel, is generally considered "bad" if the BER (or FER, or UFR) is worse than that specified, multiplied by the factors given in table 14-1. These values have been adopted (taking into account the expected shapes of the BER performance) in order not to pass a unit with performance worse than the specifications by more than 1 dB.

The probability of passing a good unit operating on the specification limit of performance (point 2) should be at least 99,7 %.
If the error events can be assumed to be random independent variables, outputs of stationary random processes with identical Gaussian distributions, the previous figures suggest a number of events (point 3) not lower than 200 in AWGN channel and not lower than 600 in a multipath environment, and to test a BER (or FER) performance 1,22 times worse than that specified in AWGN and 1,12 times worse than that specified in a multipath environment (this corresponds to testing a performance, at the most, 0,5 dB worse than that specified).
For multipath propagation conditions the hypothesis of stationary random processes does not generally hold. In case of non frequency hopping operation mode, the radio channel may be assumed to change 10 times per wavelength of travelled distance and to be short term stationary in between. So, in this case, the required observation time for having good statistical properties should not be lower (with some rounding) than that reported in table 14-1.

Tables 14-3 and 14-4 detail, for the different test conditions, the minimum number of samples required in order to meet points 1) to 3): the corresponding test time (point 4) can be consequently computed.
As can be seen in the tables, in some of the cases in which both FER and RBER have to be tested on the same channel, the length of time for the FER measurement has been adopted for the RBER measurement. This is longer than that required for the RBER only according to the discussed criteria, but allows the use of a test limit error rate closer to the specified error rate while maintaining the same statistical significance. When, as is normal, it is desired to perform the FER and RBER tests, the closer test limit error rate for the RBER measurement can be achieved without increasing the total test time. It is always possible to extend the length of any test and further improve the statistical significance of that test.
Co-channel rejection tests with a frequency condition noted as "@ndB" are performed with the interfering frequency transmitted with an additional n dB attenuation, see 3GPP TS 45.005.

NOTE 1: is a parameter which ranges from 1 to 1,6. The value of for a RBER test on TCH/FS class Ib bits under particular measurement conditions shall be the same as that determined in the FER test on TCH/FS under the same conditions. For example, the value of may be different for a TUhigh sensitivity test and an RA sensitivity test. The value of is determined by dividing the measured error rate for the FER test by the value of the test limit error rate listed in the limits section of the test corresponding to =1; if the result of the division is lower than 1, a value of =1 shall be used, if the value of > 1,6 the FER test has failed (the normal treatment of stimulus uncertainties applies). The probabilities that a good unit will pass and the risks that a bad unit will pass, listed in the table are valid for =1, and would be slightly different for other values of .
NOTE 2: In order to save time the sensitivity and co-channel rejection tests for the TCH/F2,4 channel does not comply with the above said constraints.
In fact, a bad unit which performs 2 times (instead of 1,26) worse than that specified is accounted for, so reducing the required number of events to 150, instead of 600. On the other hand, the specified RBER is in this case 10E-5 and, on the basis of simulations and hardware validation results, doubling this RBER results in a drop in performance of less than 1 dB.

14.1.1.1.1 Definition
|
The performance of the Bad Frame Indication (BFI) is a measure of the effectiveness of the MS under DTX conditions. It includes the effect of the 3 bit Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) and all other processing associated with the DTX function. The BFI is measured on a full rate speech TCH (TCH/FS) by counting the number of undetected bad frames whilst the input signal is a randomly modulated carrier.

|
14.1.1.1.4.1 Initial conditions
|
A call is set up according to the generic call set up procedure on a TCH/FS with an ARFCN in the Mid ARFCN range, power control level set to maximum power.
The SS commands the MS to complete the traffic channel loop back and signal the bad frame indication.
NOTE: DTX is used during the test to prevent the MS dropping the call.

|
51.010-1
|
14.1.1.1.4.2 Procedure
|
a) The SS simulates a BSS in DTX mode. During the period when no transmission would occur the SS transmits a GSM carrier modulated with random data at a level 11 dB above reference sensitivity level( ). The SACCH is transmitted normally at a level 20 dB above reference sensitivity( ). The SID frame is transmitted in its correct time interval with valid information at a level 20 dB above reference sensitivity level( ). During transmission of SACCH or SID frames the random data is discontinued.
b) The SS transmits at least the minimum number of samples of frames of TCH/FS information and checks the BFI of the looped back signal from the MS. The SS records the number of frames where the bad frame indication is not set. During transmission by the SS of SID frames the SS checks that the BFI is not set.
NOTE 1: Further explanations on the mechanism of signalling the BFI to the SS will be found in clause 36.
NOTE 2: In some cases the MS decodes half SID frames correctly even if these are not transmitted completely. Therefore, in case that a MS detects a good SID frame, the SS has to consider the received bits in detail.

|
14.1.1.1.5 Test requirements
|
The BFI performance is accepted if the measured rate of undetected bad frames does not exceed the test limit error rate:
Test limit error rate: 0,041 %;
Minimum number of samples: 492 000 (excluding SID frames).
During loop back of SID frames no BFI shall be set.

14.1.1.2.4.1 Initial conditions
|
A call is set up according to the generic call set up procedure on a TCH/FS with a transmitted burst 20 dB above reference sensitivity. Random frequency hopping on two channels including the C0 radio frequency with ARFCNs with at least 5 channels separation shall be used, power control level set to maximum power.
The SS commands the MS to complete the traffic channel loop back and signal the bad frame indication.
NOTE: DTX is used during the test to prevent the MS dropping the call.

14.1.1.2.4.2 Procedure
|
a) The SS sets downlink DTX on.
b) The SS performs the measurement over at least the minimum number of samples of frames of TCH/FS information and checks the BFI of the looped back signal from the MS. The SS only transmits SID frames, SACCH frames and dummy bursts, with no transmission of TCH bursts. The SS records the number of frames where the bad frame indication is not set. During transmission by the SS of SID frames the SS checks that the BFI is not set.
NOTE 1: Further explanations on the mechanism of signalling the BFI to the SS will be found in clause 36.
NOTE 2: In some cases the MS decodes half SID frames correctly even if these are not transmitted completely. Therefore, in case that a MS detects a good SID frame, the SS has to consider the received bits in detail.

14.2.1.4.2 Procedure
|
a) The fading function is set to TUhigh.
b) the SS sets the amplitude of the wanted signal to reference sensitivity level ( ).
c) The SS compares the data of the signal that it sends to the MS with the signal which is looped back from the receiver after demodulation and decoding, and checks the frame erasure indication.
d) The SS determines the number of residual bit error events for the bits of class II, by examining sequences of at least the minimum number of samples of consecutive bits of class II. Bits are taken only from those frames not signalled as erased.
e) The SS determines the number of residual bit error events for the bits of the class Ib, by examining sequences of at least the minimum number of samples of consecutive bits of class Ib. Bits are only taken from those frames not signalled as erased.
f) The SS also determines the frame erasure events by examining sequences of at least the minimum number of samples of consecutive frames and assuming a frame is received successfully, if it is not signalled as erased.
g) Steps a) to d) are repeated under extreme test conditions.
h) Steps a) to g) are repeated for TCH/FS with ARFCNs in the Low ARFCN range for GSM 400, GSM 700, T-GSM 810, GSM 850, DCS 1800 and PCS 1 900 and ARFCN 5 for GSM 900 and the High ARFCN range.
NOTE: For GSM 900 ARFCN 5 is tested since this is the 72nd harmonic of the 13 MHz clock normally used internally in a MS.
i) Steps b) to d) are repeated with the SS fading function set in turn to RA and HT.
j) Steps b) to g) are repeated, with the SS fading function set to static and the MS is commanded by the SS into hopping mode using the hopping sequence defined in clause 6.
The amplitude of the wanted signal is set according to step b). All the other time slots, except the active ones, are set to 20 dB above reference sensitivity level( ). This implicitly tests adjacent time slot rejection.

14.2.1a Reference sensitivity - TCH/FS in TIGHTER configuration
14.2.1a.1 Definition
The reference sensitivity is the signal level at the MS receiver input at which a certain BER and FER must be achieved.
14.2.1a.2 Conformance requirement
3GPP TS 45.005 subclause 6.2.5
The reference performance for Tightened Link Level Performance (TIGHTER) specified in table 1w, shall be
For speech channels (TCH/FS, TCH/HS, TCH/EFS, TCH/AFSx, TCH/AHSx, TCH/WFSx ) FER: 1 %
In addition for speech channels the residual class Ib BER and residual class II BER performance shall not exceed the specified values in table 1w at the corresponding signal level in dBm. The reference sensitivity level in section 6.2.1 shall be applied for TIGHTER MS.
14.2.1a.3 Test purpose
NOTE: This test is performed under STATIC propagation conditions to allow implicit testing of the ability of the MS to hop over the full band. The tests under dynamic propagation conditions are better suited to test the reference sensitivity conformance but cannot test hopping over the full band due to limited bandwidth of available fading simulators.
1 For TCH FS/FER, MS shall meet the reference sensitivity performance mentioned in 3GPP TS 45.005 sub clause 6.2.5, for reference sensitivity level mentioned in Table 1w according to propagation conditions.
2 At reference sensitivity level, the TCH/FS class Ib RBER shall meet the performance mentioned in table 1w in 3GPP TS 45.005.
3 At reference sensitivity level, the TCH/FS RBER2 shall meet the performance mentioned in table 1w in 3GPP TS 45.005.
14.2.1a.4 Method of test
NOTE 1: The BA list sent on the BCCH and SACCH will indicate at least six surrounding cells with at least one near to each band edge. It is not necessary to generate any of these BCCHs but, if provided the signal strengths of BCCHs shall be in the range 15 dBVemf( ) to 35 dBVemf( ).
NOTE 2: The ARFCN of any BCCH shall not be co-channel or on adjacent channels to the wanted traffic channel.
