The present document is one part of a multi-part Technical Specification (TS) covering the New Radio (NR) User Equipment (UE) conformance specification, which is divided in the following parts: - 3GPP TS 38.521-1: " NR; User Equipment (UE) conformance specification; Radio transmission and reception; Part 1: Range 1 Standalone" (the present document). - 3GPP TS 38.521-2 [13]: " NR; User Equipment (UE) conformance specification; Radio transmission and reception; Part 2: Range 2 Standalone". - 3GPP TS 38.521-3 [14]: “NR; User Equipment (UE) conformance specification; Radio transmission and reception; Part 3: Range 1 and Range 2 Interworking operation with other radios” - 3GPP TS 38.521-4 [15]: “NR; User Equipment (UE) conformance specification; Radio transmission and reception; Part 4: Performance”. - 3GPP TS 38.522 [16]: NR; User Equipment (UE) conformance specification; Applicability of RF and RRM test cases; - 3GPP TS 38.533 [17]: NR; User Equipment (UE) conformance specification; Radio resource management; 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 26 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI 1 Scope The present document specifies the measurement procedures for the conformance test of the user equipment (UE) that contain RF characteristics for frequency Range 1 as part of the 5G-NR. The requirements are listed in different clauses only if the corresponding parameters deviate. More generally, tests are only applicable to those mobiles that are intended to support the appropriate functionality. To indicate the circumstances in which tests apply, this is noted in the "definition and applicability" part of the test. For example only Release 15 and later UE declared to support 5G-NR shall be tested for this functionality. In the event that for some tests different conditions apply for different releases, this is indicated within the text of the test itself. 2 References The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document.

Conformance to the TS 38.101-1 [2] is demonstrated by fulfilling the test requirements specified in the present document. The Minimum Requirements given in TS 38.101-1 [2] make no allowance for measurement uncertainty (MU). The present document defines test tolerances (TT) and measurement uncertainty. These test tolerances are individually defined for each test. The test tolerances are used to relax the minimum requirements in TS 38.101-1 [2] to create test requirements. For some requirements, including regulatory requirements, the test tolerance is set to zero. The measurement results returned by the test system are compared - without any modification - against the test requirements as defined by various levels of “Shared Risk” principle as described below. a) Core specification value is not relaxed by any relaxation value (TT=0). For each single measurement, the probability of a borderline good UE being judged as FAIL equals the probability of a borderline bad UE being judged as PASS. - Test tolerances equal to 0 (TT=0) are considered in this specification. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 33 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI b) Core specification value is relaxed by a relaxation value (TT>0). For each single measurement, the probability of a borderline bad UE being judged as PASS is greater than the probability of a borderline good UE being judged as FAIL. - Test tolerances lower than measurement uncertainty and greater than 0 (0 < TT < MU) are considered in this specification. - Test tolerances high up to measurement uncertainty (TT = MU) are considered in this specification which is also known as “Never fail a good DUT” principle. c) Core specification value is tightened by a stringent value (TT<0). For each single measurement, the probability of a borderline good UE being judged as FAIL is greater than the probability of a borderline bad UE being judged as PASS. Test tolerances lower than 0 (TT<0) are not considered in this specification.The “Never fail a good DUT” and the “Shared Risk” principles are defined in Recommendation ITU-R M.1545 [7]. 4.2 Applicability of minimum requirements a) In TS 38.101-1 [2] 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 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. d) All the requirements for intra-band contiguous and non-contiguous CA apply under the assumption of the same slot format indicated by TDD-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon and TDD-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated in the PCell and SCells for NR/5GC. e) The requirements for Tx diversity in this release are applied for UE which indicates IE txDiversity-r16. 4.3 Specification suffix information Unless stated otherwise the following suffixes are used for indicating at 2nd level subclause, shown in Table 4.3-1. Table 4.3-1: Definition of suffixes Clause suffix Variant None Single Carrier A Carrier Aggregation (CA) B Dual-Connectivity (DC) C Supplementary Uplink (SUL) D UL MIMO E V2X F Shared spectrum channel access G Tx Diversity (TxD) H Carrier Aggregation (CA) with UL MIMO I (e)RedCap J ATG K Aerial UE (UAV) L Carrier Aggregation (CA) with Tx Diversity A terminal which supports the above features needs to meet both the general requirements and the additional requirement applicable to the additional subclause (suffixes A to L) in clauses 5, 6 and 7. Where there is a difference in requirement between the general requirements and the additional subclause requirements (suffixes A to L) in clauses 5, 6 and 7, the tighter requirements are applicable unless stated otherwise in the additional subclause. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 34 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI A terminal which supports more than one feature in clauses 5, 6 and 7 shall meet all of the separate corresponding requirements. For a terminal that supports SUL for the band combination specified in Table 5.2C-1, the current version of the specification assumes the terminal is configured with active transmission either on UL carrier or SUL carrier at any time in one serving cell and the UE requirements for single carrier shall apply for the active UL or SUL carrier accordingly. For a terminal that supports operation in shared spectrum, the current version of this specification assumes in the uplink sub-bands within a wideband channel shall be contiguously allocated to the UE. The uplink requirements for one or more non-transmitted sub-bands between two transmitted sub-bands does not form a part of the current version of this specification. A terminal which supports intra-band contiguous UL CA with UL MIMO shall meet the corresponding requirements in suffix H with all UL CCs with UL MIMO. Terminal that supports inter-band NR-DC configuration shall meet the minimum requirements for corresponding CA configuration (suffix A), unless otherwise specified. For a terminal that supports inter-band Carrier Aggregation (CA) with UL MIMO or Tx diversity operation, the requirements are targeted for FWA form factor in current version of specification. A terminal which supports inter-band UL CA with UL MIMO shall meet the corresponding requirements in suffix H with all UL CCs with UL MIMO for the frequency band(s) said to be with UL MIMO. 4.4 Test points analysis The information on test point analysis and test point selection including number of test points for each test case is shown in TR 38.905 [11] clause 4.1. 4.5 Applicability and test coverage rules The applicability and test coverage rules for NR/5GC and EN-DC capable devices shall include the following: If a test case for a FR1 NR band in a device is tested in EN-DC mode inter-band operation for non-exceptional requirement as per TS 38.521-3 [14], it shall fulfil the coverage requirement for that test case for NR/5GC FR1 test requirements for that NR band and need not be retested. Unless there are exception requirements defined within the NR-DC test cases in clause 6 and 7 of this spec: if a DUT is tested on an FR1 NR-CA configuration, the DUT need not be retested for the FR1 NR-DC configuration involving the same bands within the component carriers/carrier groups (CGs). Ifspurious emission for UE co-existence requirement is tested for an uplink multi-band combination in EN-DC mode as per TS 38.521-3, it shall fulfil the coverage requirement for that test case for NR/5GC FR1 test requirements for that uplink combination in NR CA mode and in NR SUL mode and need not be re-tested, in which the corresponding SUL bands have same UL frequency range as the bands in EN-DC configuration. Note: An uplink multi-band combination in CA mode is CA_nA-nB, the corresponding EN-DC mode is DC_A_nB or DC_B_nA, and the corresponding SUL mode is SUL_nA-nD and SUL_nB-nC, in which the bands A/nA and B/nB are E-UTRA/NR bands, the band nC and nD are the corresponding SUL bands with the same UL frequency range as that of bands A/nA and B/nB, e.g. SUL band n80 has the same UL frequency range as band n3. 4.6 Pass fail decision rule of test case Unless explicitly specified, a test case is passed only when all the measurements in the test case are passed. A measurement is one execution of the test procedures using a specific combination of various conditions, including test configuration, testing UL/DL power level, frequency location of interference and sweeping frequency location of emission measurement etc. If multiple component carriers are involved in one measurement, the measurement is passed only when all the component carriers are passed. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 35 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI 5 Operating bands and Channel arrangement 5.1 General The channel arrangements presented in this clause are based on the operating bands and channel bandwidths defined in the present release of specifications. NOTE: Other operating bands and channel bandwidths may be considered in future releases. Requirements throughout the RF specifications are in many cases defined separately for different frequency ranges (FR). The frequency ranges in which NR can operate according to this version of the specification are identified as described in Table 5.1-1.

From a BS perspective, different UE channel bandwidths may be supported within the same spectrum for transmitting to and receiving from UEs connected to the BS. Transmission of multiple carriers to the same UE (CA) or multiple carriers to different UEs within the BS channel bandwidth can be supported. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 44 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI From a UE perspective, the UE is configured with one or more BWP / carriers, each with its own UE channel bandwidth. The UE does not need to be aware of the BS channel bandwidth or how the BS allocates bandwidth to different UEs. The placement of the UE channel bandwidth for each UE carrier is flexible but can only be completely within the BS channel bandwidth. The relationship between the channel bandwidth, the guardband and the maximum transmission bandwidth configuration is shown in Figure 5.3.1-1. 3 MHz channel bandwidth is only applicable for single-carrier operation in Release 18. Figure 5.3.1-1: Definition of the channel bandwidth and the maximum transmission bandwidth configuration for one NR channel 5.3.2 Maximum transmission bandwidth configuration The maximum transmission bandwidth configuration NRB for each UE channel bandwidth and subcarrier spacing is specified in Table 5.3.2-1. Table 5.3.2-1: Maximum transmission bandwidth configuration NRB 5.3.3 Minimum guard band and transmission bandwidth configuration The minimum guard band for each UE channel bandwidth and SCS is specified in Table 5.3.3-1.

Figure 5.3.3-1: Void The number of RBs configured in any channel bandwidth shall ensure that the minimum guard band specified in this clause is met. Figure 5.3.3-2: UE PRB utilization In the case that multiple numerologies are multiplexed in the same symbol due to BS transmission of SSB, the minimum guard band on each side of the carrier is the guard band applied at the configured channel bandwidth for the numerology that is received immediately adjacent to the guard. If multiple numerologies are multiplexed in the same symbol and the UE channel bandwidth is >50 MHz, the minimum guardband applied adjacent to 15 kHz SCS shall be the same as the minimum guardband defined for 30 kHz SCS for the same UE channel bandwidth. Figure 5.3.3-3: Guard band definition when transmitting multiple numerologies NOTE: Figure 5.3.3-3 is not intended to imply the size of any guard between the two numerologies. Inter- numerology guard band within the carrier is implementation dependent. [For a UE supporting wideband operation], the nominal intra-cell guard bands and the corresponding sizes of the RB sets separated by the said guard bands are as specified in Table 5.3.3-2 for each UE channel bandwidth and sub-carrier spacing for the downlink and uplink. The nominal intra-cell guard bands in Table 5.3.3-2 are applicable when the respective IE intraCellGuardBandsUL-List and intraCellGuardBandsDL-List [6] for the uplink and downlink are not provided, as specified in [12] clause 7. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 46 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI Table 5.3.3-2: Nominal intra-cell guard bands for wideband operation SCS (kHz) 40 MHz 60 MHz 80 MHz 15 105-6-105 (216) N/A N/A 30 50-6-50 (106) 50-6-50-6-50 (162) 50-6-50-5-50-6-50 (217) 60 23-5-23 (51) 23-5-23-5-23 (79) 23-5-23-5-23-5-23 (107) NOTE 1: The intra-cell guard band is denoted TBW0-GB0-…-GBN_RBset-2-TBWN_RBset-1 for N_RBset > 1 number of RB-sets with TBWr the maximum transmission bandwidth (PRB) of RB-set r and GBr the guard band (PRB) above the upper edge of RB-set r. The RB-set 0 is starting at the first common resource block (CRB) of the carrier as indicated by offsetToCarrier. The total transmission bandwidth configuration (size of resource grid) including guard bands is given in between parentheses. For a UE that supports shared spectrum channel access, there are no uplink or downlink intra-cell guard bands for operation with 10 MHz and 20 MHz channel bandwidths; the maximum transmission bandwidth configurations for these channel bandwidths are in accordance with clause 5.3.2. For each UE channel bandwidth and sub-carrier spacing given by Table 5.3.3-2, the maximum transmission bandwidth configuration of the carrier including intra-cell guard bands, if configured for the uplink and downlink by the respective IE intraCellGuardBandsUL-List and intraCellGuardBandsDL-List [6], and corresponding RB-set(s) shall be in accordance with clause 5.3.2 with a minimum inter-cell guard band of the UE channel bandwidth as specified in Table 5.3.3-1 for the uplink and downlink. Minimum requirements specified for wideband operation in Clause 6 and Clause 7 also apply for intra-cell guard bands larger than the nominal sizes in Table 5.3.3-2 as listed in Table 5.3.3-3 for each sub-carrier spacing; each guard band in order of CRB index must be larger than or equal to the corresponding nominal guard band specified in Table 5.3.3-2 for each channel bandwidth.

The nominal channel spacing between two adjacent NR carriers is defined as following: - For NR operating bands with 100 kHz or 10 kHz channel raster, Nominal Channel spacing = (BWChannel(1) + BWChannel(2))/2 - For NR operating bands with 15 kHz channel raster, Nominal Channel spacing = (BWChannel(1) + BWChannel(2))/2+{-5kHz, 0kHz, 5kHz}} for ∆FRaster equals 15 kHz Nominal Channel spacing = (BWChannel(1) + BWChannel(2))/2+{-10 kHz, 0 kHz, 10 kHz} for ∆FRaster equals 30 kHz where BWChannel(1) and BWChannel(2) are the channel bandwidths of the two respective NR carriers. The channel spacing can be adjusted depending on the channel raster to optimize performance in a particular deployment scenario. For NR bands restricted to operation with shared-spectrum channel access, the maximum deviation from the nominal channel spacing is 40 kHz. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 56 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI 5.4.2 Channel raster 5.4.2.1 NR-ARFCN and channel raster The global frequency channel raster defines a set of RF reference frequencies FREF. The RF reference frequency is used in signalling to identify the position of RF channels, SS blocks and other elements. The global frequency raster is defined for all frequencies from 0 to 100 GHz. The granularity of the global frequency raster is ΔFGlobal. RF reference frequencies are designated by an NR Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (NR-ARFCN) in the range (0…2016666) on the global frequency raster. The relation between the NR-ARFCN and the RF reference frequency FREF in MHz is given by the following equation, where FREF-Offs and NRef-Offs are given in Table 5.4.2.1-1 and NREF is the NR-ARFCN. FREF = FREF-Offs + ΔFGlobal (NREF – NREF-Offs) Table 5.4.2.1-1: NR-ARFCN parameters for the global frequency raster Frequency range (MHz) ΔFGlobal (kHz) FREF-Offs (MHz) NREF-Offs Range of NREF 0 – 3000 5 0 0 0 – 599999 3000 – 24250 15 3000 600000 600000 – 2016666 The channel raster defines a subset of RF reference frequencies that can be used to identify the RF channel position in the uplink and downlink. The RF reference frequency for an RF channel maps to a resource element on the carrier. For each operating band, a subset of frequencies from the global frequency raster are applicable for that band and forms a channel raster with a granularity ΔFRaster, which may be equal to or larger than ΔFGlobal. For SUL bands expect n95, n97, n98 bands and for the uplink of all FDD bands defined in Table 5.2-1, and for TDD bands n34, n39, n48, n90, n38 and n40. FREF, shift = FREF + Δshift, Δshift=0kHz or 7.5 kHz. where Δshift is signalled by the network in higher layer parameter frequencyShift7p5khz [6]. For Band n34, n38, n39, n40, n48, FREF, shift is only applicable to uplink transmissions using a 15 kHz SCS. The mapping between the channel raster and corresponding resource element is given in Section 5.4.2.2. The applicable entries for each operating band are defined in Section 5.4.2.3 5.4.2.2 Channel raster to resource element mapping The mapping between the RF reference frequency on the channel raster and the corresponding resource element is given in Table 5.4.2.2-1 and can be used to identify the RF channel position. The mapping depends on the total number of RBs that are allocated in the channel and applies to both UL and DL. The mapping must apply to at least one numerology supported by the UE.

In this case every 20th NR-ARFCN within the operating band are applicable for the channel raster within the operating band and the step size for the channel raster in Table 5.4.2.3-1 is given as <20>. For NR operating bands with 15 kHz channel raster below 3GHz, ΔFRaster = I × ΔFGlobal, where I ϵ {3,6}. Every Ith NR-ARFCN within the operating band are applicable for the channel raster within the operating band and the step size for the channel raster in Table 5.4.2.3-1 is given as < I >. For NR operating bands with 15 kHz channel raster above 3GHz, ΔFRaster = I × ΔFGlobal, where I ϵ {1,2}.

A global synchronization raster is defined for all frequencies. The frequency position of the SS block is defined as SSREF with corresponding number GSCN. The parameters defining the SSREF and GSCN for all the frequency ranges are in Table 5.4.3.1-1 for above 3 MHz channel bandwidth and in table 5.4.3.1-2 for 3 MHz channel bandwidth. For band n100, additional parameters defining the SSREF and GSCN are specified in table 5.4.3.1-3. The resource element corresponding to the SS block reference frequency SSREF is given in subclause 5.4.3.2. The synchronization raster and the subcarrier spacing of the synchronization block are defined separately for each band. The synchronization raster and the corresponding SS block do not cover all possible RF channel bandwidths and locations on Enhanced channel raster.

The UL and DL channel bandwidth combinations specified in Table 5.3.5-1 and 5.3.6-1 depend on the subcarrier spacing configuration μ [6]. 5.4A Channel arrangement for CA 5.4A.1 Channel spacing for CA For intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation with two or more component carriers, the nominal channel spacing between two adjacent NR component carriers is defined as the following unless stated otherwise: For NR operating bands with a 100 kHz channel raster: 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 63 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI [MHz] 3.0 6.0 2 spacing channel Nominal ) 2 ( )1( ) 2 ( )1( − − + = Channel Channel Channel Channel GB GB BW BW while for NR operating bands with 15 kHz channel raster: [MHz] 2 * 015 .0 2 * 015 .0 2 spacing channel Nominal 1 ) 2 ( ) 1 ( ) 2 ( ) 1 ( n n Channel Channel Channel Channel GB GB BW BW − − + = + with n = µ0 where BWChannel(1) and BWChannel(2) are the channel bandwidths of the two respective NR component carriers according to Table 5.3.2-1 with values in MHz, μ0 is the largest μ value among the subcarrier spacing configurations supported in the operating band for both of the channel bandwidths according to Table 5.3.5-1 and GBChannel(i) is the minimum guard band for channel bandwidth i according to Table 5.3.3-1 for the said μ value with μ as defined in TS 38.211. In case there is no common μ value for both of the channel bandwidths, μ0=1 is selected and GBChannel(i) is the minimum guard band for channel bandwidth i according to Table 5.3.3-1 for μ=1 with μ as defined in TS 38.211. The channel spacing for intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation can be adjusted to any multiple of least common multiple of channel raster and sub-carrier spacing less than the nominal channel spacing to optimize performance in a particular deployment scenario. For intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation, the channel spacing between two NR component carriers in different sub-blocks shall be larger than the nominal channel spacing defined in this subclause 5.4A.2 Channel raster for CA For inter-band and intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation, the channel raster requirements in clause 5.4.2 apply for each operating band. 5.4A.3 Synchronization raster for CA For inter-band and intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation, the synchronization raster requirements in clause 5.4.3 apply for each operating band. 5.4A.4 Tx-Rx frequency separation for CA For inter-band carrier aggregation, the Tx-Rx frequency separation requirements in subclause 5.4.4 apply for each operating band. For intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation, the same TX-RX frequency separation as specified in Table 5.4.4-1 is applied to PCC and SCC, respectively. 5.4E Channel arrangement for V2X 5.4E.1 Channel spacing For NR V2X, the channel spacing requirements in clause 5.4.1 apply for each operating band. 5.4E.2 Channel raster 5.4E.2.1 NR-ARFCN and channel raster For NR V2X, the NR-ARFCN and channel raster requirements in clause 5.4.2.1 apply for each operating band. For NR V2X UE, the reference frequency can be shifted by configuration. FREF_V2X = FREF + Δshift + N * 5 kHz where Δshift = 0 kHz or 7.5 kHz indicated in IE (frequencyShift7p5khz), and 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 64 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI N can be set as one of following values {-1, 0, 1}, which are signalled by the network in higher layer parameters or configured by pre-configuration parameters. 5.4E.2.2 Channel raster to resource element mapping For NR V2X, the channel raster to resource element mapping requirements in clause 5.4.2.2 apply for each operating band. 5.4E.2.3 Channel raster entries for each operating band For NR V2X, the channel raster entries, the channel raster entries requirements in clause 5.4.2.3 apply for each operating band. The RF channel positions on the channel raster in each NR V2X operating band are given through the applicable NR- ARFCN in Table 5.4.2.3-1, using the channel raster to resource element mapping in subclause 5.4E.2.2. For NR V2X operating band n47, ΔFRaster = I × ΔFGlobal, where I ϵ {1}.

For NR operating bands included in Table 5.4.2.3-1 with a step size of <20>, the channel raster for (e)RedCap UEs is defined with ΔFRaster = 2 × ΔFGlobal. In this case every 2nd NR-ARFCN within the operating band are applicable for the channel raster within the operating band and the step size for the channel raster is given as <2>, every 10th of these channel raster entries coincides with entries defined in Table 5.4.2.3-1 for this operating band. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 65 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI 5.4I.3 Synchronization raster for (e)RedCap For (e)RedCap UEs, the synchronization raster requirements in clause 5.4.3 apply for each operating band. The synchronization raster and the corresponding SS block do not cover all possible RF channel bandwidths and locations on the channel raster defined in sub-clause 5.4I.2. 5.4I.4 Tx-Rx frequency separation for (e)RedCap For (e)RedCap UEs, the Tx-Rx frequency separation requirements in clause 5.4.4 apply for each operating band. 5.5 Void 5.5A Configurations for CA 5.5A.0 General The configurations for CA operating band including Band n41 also apply for the corresponding CA operating bands with Band n90 replacing Band n41 but with otherwise identical parameters. For brevity the said configuration for CA operating bands with Band n90 are not listed in the tables below but are covered by this specification. Non-contiguous resource allocation and almost contiguous allocation are not applicable for each NR carrier of intra-band contiguous and non-contiguous CA configurations. For a CA configuration with one or more operating band supporting asymmetric channel bandwidths as specified in sub-clause 5.3.6, requirements are defined for an asymmetric UL and DL channel bandwidth combination of a supported asymmetric channel bandwidth combination set for an operating band of the CA configuration when the said UL and DL channel bandwidths are also contained in a supported bandwidth combination set of the CA configuration. 5.5A.1 Configurations for intra-band contiguous CA Power class 3 is supported for all uplinks.

For each uplink band pair in the NR inter-band CA configurations, according to the capability uplinkTxSwitchingOptionForBandPair-r18, – if switchedUL is supported, uplink transmission on any one band of the band pair in the band combination shall be supported according to the scheduling commands, and the corresponding inter-band CA requirements with uplink assigned to one band on band X or band Y apply; – if dualUL is supported, simultaneous uplink transmission on the two NR UL bands from the band pair for which dualUL is declared in the band combination shall be supported according to the scheduling commands, and the corresponding inter-band CA requirements with uplink CA between the two uplink bands apply. For a UE supporting [BandOrdering1T1Tto1T1T] for parallel uplink transmission switching for a band combination consisting with four different bands, the UE is allowed to report capability [preferredBandPairs] via band- ordering approach to indicate the UE’s preferred switching band pairs for which it supports dualUL and perform the switching case configured by network. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 69 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI 5.5A.3.1 Configurations for inter-band CA (two bands) Table 5.5A.3.1-1: NR CA configurations and bandwidth combinations sets defined for inter-band CA (two bands) NR CA configuration Uplink CA configuration or single uplink carrier5 NR Band Channel bandwidth (MHz) Bandwidth combination set CA_n1A-n3A CA_n1A-n3A n1 5, 10, 15, 20 0 n3 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 n1 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50 1 n3 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40 CA_n1A-n5A CA_n1A-n5A n1 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50 0 n5 5, 10, 15, 20 CA_n1(2A)-n3A -

For UE with integral antenna only, a reference antenna with a gain of 0 dBi is assumed. For UEs that do not indicate IE dualPA-Architecture, transmitter requirements for CA operation apply only when the DMRS initialization parameters (including the case when the UE applies cell ID as DMRS scrambling ID) are different across all CCs. The UE may use higher MPR values outside this limitation. Transmitter requirements for UL MIMO operation apply when the UE transmits on 2 ports on the same CDM group. The UE may use higher MPR values outside this limitation. Unless otherwise stated, Channel Bandwidth shall be prioritized in the selecting of test points. Subcarrier spacing shall be selected after Test Channel Bandwidth is selected. The transmitter requirements other than UL MIMO (suffix D), Tx Diversity (suffix G) and Carrier Aggregation with UL MIMO (suffix H) shall be measured on a single UL antenna connector for each configured UL band. In case of UL CA or NR-DC (suffix A, suffix B) the requirements shall be measured on a single UL antenna connector for each UL band. In case the UE supports dualPA-Architecture according to the corresponding IE, the requirements are measured on the corresponding antenna connector for each carrier, except for the Output RF spectrum emissions (clause 6.5A) which are measured across all antenna connectors for a given band. Unless otherwise stated in test description, the frequencies of PCC and SCC in 2UL CA should not be switched and tested in each configuration. Uplink RB allocations given in Table 6.1-1 are used throughout this section, unless otherwise stated by the test case.

Note 2: For power class 1.5, Edge_Full_Left is defined as 4 RBs allocated at the left edge of the transmission bandwidth (4@0), and Edge_Full_Right is defined as 4 RBs allocated at the right edge of the transmission bandwidth (4@NRB-4). 6.1A General Editor’s note: Uplink RB allocations for intra-band UL CA with mixed numerology is FFS. The RB allocations for intra-band contiguous UL CA with non-contiguous allocation need to be reconsidered if a band which does not support SCS = 60 kHz is introduced to intra-band contiguous 2UL CA configuration with BWchannel_CA ≥ 50 MHz. The minimum requirements for band combinations including Band n41 also apply for the corresponding band combinations with Band n90 replacing Band n41 but with otherwise identical parameters. For brevity the said band combinations with Band n90 are not listed in the tables below but are covered by this specification. Uplink RB allocations for intra-band CA given in Table 6.1A-1a are used throughout this section, unless otherwise stated by the test case. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 105 ETSI TS 138

Note 2: For power class 1.5, Edge_Full_Left is defined as 4 RBs allocated at the left edge of the transmission bandwidth (4@0), and Edge_Full_Right is defined as 4 RBs allocated at the right edge of the transmission bandwidth (4@NRB-4). 6.1J General Unless otherwise stated, the transmitter characteristics are specified at the antenna connector(s) of the ATG UE with one or multiple omni-directional antenna(s) or at the transceiver array boundary (TAB) connectors of the ATG UE with the antenna array. The definition about transceiver array boundary (TAB) is specified in clause 4.3.2 of TS 38.104 [27]. 6.2 Transmitter power 6.2.1 UE maximum output power Editor’s note: The following aspects are either missing or not yet determined: - MU and TT for >6GHz are working assumption based on analysis of single TE vendor. Values will be revisited once analysis from other TE vendors is available. 6.2.1.1 Test purpose To verify that the error of the UE maximum output power does not exceed the range prescribed by the specified nominal maximum output power and tolerance. An excess maximum output power has the possibility to interfere to other channels or other systems. A small maximum output power decreases the coverage area. 6.2.1.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR Power Class 1 UE release 15 and forward. This test case applies to all types of NR Power Class 2 and Power Class 3 UE release 15 and forward that don’t support Tx diversity and don't support Redcap. 6.2.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements The following UE Power Classes define the maximum output power for any transmission bandwidth within the channel bandwidth of NR carrier unless otherwise stated. The period of measurement shall be at least one sub frame (1ms).

Each additional emission requirement is associated with a unique network signalling (NS) value indicated in RRC signalling by an NR frequency band number of the applicable operating band and an associated value in the field additionalSpectrumEmission. Throughout this specification, the notion of indication or signalling of an NS value refers to the corresponding indication of an NR frequency band number of the applicable operating band, the IE field freqBandIndicatorNR and an associated value of additionalSpectrumEmission in the relevant RRC information elements [6]. To meet the additional requirements, additional maximum power reduction (A-MPR) is allowed for the maximum output power as specified in Table 6.2.1.3-1. Unless stated otherwise, the total reduction to UE maximum output power is max(MPR, A-MPR) where MPR is defined in clause 6.2.2. Outer and inner allocation notation used in clause 6.2.3 is defined in clause 6.2.2. Unless stated otherwise, Edge RB allocations get the same A-MPR as Outer RB allocations. In absence of modulation and waveform types the A-MPR applies to all modulation and waveform types. 6.2.3.2 Test applicability The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.5.2.3 Additional Spectrum Emission mask for network signalling values NS_03, NS_03U, NS_04, NS_06, NS_07, NS_27 and NS_35 to all types of NR Power Class 2 and Power Class 3 UE release 15 and forward that don’t support Tx diversity and NR Power Class 1 UE release 15 and forward. The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.5.2.4.2 Adjacent channel leakage ratio for network signalling values NS_03U, NS_05U, NS_43U and NS_100 to all types of NR Power Class 3 UE release 15 and forward that don’t support Tx diversity. The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.5.3.3 Additional Spurious Emissions for network signalling values NS_04, NS_05, NS_05U, NS_07, NS_12, NS_13, NS_14, NS_15, NS_17, NS_18, NS_21, NS_24, NS_27, NS_37, NS_38, NS_39, NS_40, NS_41, NS_42, NS_43, NS_43U, NS_44, NS_45, NS_48, NS_49, NS_50 and NS_56 to all types of NR Power Class 2 and Power Class 3 UE release 15 and forward that don’t support Tx diversity. NOTE: Test execution is not necessary if 6.5.2.3, 6.5.2.4.2 and 6.5.3.3 are executed. 6.2.3.3 Minimum conformance requirements 6.2.3.3.1 General Table 6.2.3.3.1-1 specifies the additional requirements with their associated network signalling values and the allowed A-MPR and applicable operating band(s) for each NS value. In case of a power class 3 UE, when IE powerBoostPi2BPSK is set to 1, power class 2 A-MPR values apply. When IE powerBoostPi2BPSK-r18 or powerBoostQPSK-r18 is enabled, A-MPR, if larger than zero, is increased by ΔPPowerBoost. The mapping of NR frequency band numbers and values of the additionalSpectrumEmission to network signalling labels is specified in Table 6.2.3.3.1-1A. For almost contiguous allocations in CP-OFDM waveforms in power class 3, the allowed A-MPR defined in clause 6.2.3 is increased by CEIL{ 10 log10(1 + NRB_gap / NRB_alloc), 0.5 } dB, where CEIL{x, 0.5} means x rounding upwards to closest 0.5dB, NRB_gap is the total number of unallocated RBs between allocated RBs and NRB_alloc is the total number of allocated RBs, and the parameter LCRB is replaced by NRB_alloc + NRB_gap in specifying the RB allocation regions.

The initial test configurations consist of environmental conditions, test frequencies, test channel bandwidths and sub- carrier spacing based on NR operating bands specified in table 5.3.5-1. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each combination of test channel bandwidth and sub-carrier spacing, and are shown in tables 6.2.3.4.1-1 to 6.2.3.4.1-30. The details of the uplink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annex A.2. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2 Network signalling value NS_10 is not tested. The relaxation specified under NS_10 is for the purpose to control / mitigate self-desensitization of the UE’s own receiver, but no corresponding REFSENS requirements are specified. There is no need to test A-MPR requirements for its own.

As new tables are added to this section, these lines should always follow the tables 1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 38.508-1 [5] Annex A, Figure A.3.1.1.1 for TE diagram and section A.3.2 for UE diagram. 2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.4.3. 3. Downlink signals are initially set up according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2 and uplink signals according Annex G.0, G.1, G.2 and G.3.0. 4. The UL Reference Measurement channels are set according to the applicable table from Table 6.2.3.4.1-1 to Table 6.2.3.4.1-30. 5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0. 6. Ensure the UE is in state RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR, Connected without release On, Test Mode On and Test Loop Function On according to TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 4.5. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2.3.4.3. 6.2.3.4.2 Test procedure 1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to the applicable table from Table 6.2.3.4.1-1 to Table 6.2.3.4.1-31. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 2. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE Allow at least 200ms starting from the first TPC command in this step for the UE to reach PUMAX level. 3. Measure the mean power of the UE in the channel bandwidth of the radio access mode. The period of measurement shall be at least the continuous duration one sub-frame (1ms). For TDD, only slots consisting of only UL symbols are under test. 4. For network signalling value “NS_04” and UEs supporting Power Class 2, repeat steps 1~3 on the applicable bands with message exception of P-Max defined in Table 6.2.3.4.3.4-2.

Measure the sum of mean transmitted power over all component carriers in the CA configuration of the radio access mode. The period of measurement shall be at least the continuous duration of 1ms uplink. For TDD only slots consisting of only UL symbols are under test. For FDD band in inter-band CA with both TDD band and FDD band, only slots overlapping with only UL symbols in TDD are under test.

Each additional emission requirement is associated with a unique network signalling (NS) value indicated in RRC signalling by an NR frequency band number of the applicable operating band and an associated value in the field additionalSpectrumEmission. Throughout this specification, the notion of indication or signalling of an NS value refers to the corresponding indication of an NR frequency band number of the applicable operating band, the IE field freqBandIndicatorNR and an associated value of additionalSpectrumEmission in the relevant RRC information elements [6]. Relation between NR CA band and NR frequency band is specified in Table 5.2A.1-1. To meet the additional requirements, additional maximum power reduction (A-MPR) is allowed for the maximum output power as specified in Table 6.2A.1.0.4-1. Unless stated otherwise, the total reduction to UE maximum output power is max(MPR, A-MPR) where MPR is defined in clause 6.2A.2.0.4. In absence of modulation and waveform types the A-MPR applies to all modulation and waveform types. Table 6.2A.3.0.1-1 specifies the additional requirements with their associated network signalling values and the allowed A-MPR and applicable CA band(s) for each CA_NS value. The CA_NS_xy value indicates the additional unwanted emissions requirements that apply for intra-band contiguous CA bands with NS_xy indicated or configured in multiple uplink serving cells, except CA_NS_01 that indicates the general emission requirements for intra-band contiguous CA bands. The mapping of NR CA band numbers and values of the additionalSpectrumEmission to network signalling labels is specified in Table 6.2A.3.0.1-2. For any NR CA band not listed in Table 6.2A.3.0.1-2 the network signalling label CA_NS_01 applies.

Where - MPR is the MPR as defined in Table 6.2A.2.0.4-1, Table 6.2A.2.0.4-1a and Table 6.2A.2.0.4-1b for PC3 and PC2 respectively and the respective CA bandwidth class - AMPRcc is defined as the PC3_A2 or PC2_A4 AMPR in table 6.2.3.3.2-2 for PC3 and PC2 respectively. 6.2A.3.0.1.1.2 Non-contiguous allocations For intra-band contiguous CA_n41B and CA_n41C and it receives IE CA_ NS_04, the UE determines the allowed Additional Maximum Power Reduction (AMPR) for the maximum output power as specified in this clause. The AMPR is specified by AMPRIM3 to meet -25dBm/MHz when IM3 falls in -25dBm/MHz region of Table 6.5A.2.3.0.1.1-1 or Table 6.5A.3.3.0.1.1-1. And uses MPR for all other cases. The UE determines the AMPR type as follows: For all waveform types, modulations and SCS when Fedge, low - BWChannel_CA ≥ 2490.5 MHz, if allocation is an inner or outer 1 allocation as defined in Table 6.2A.2.0.4-2 then A-MPR = MPR if allocation is an outer 2 allocation as defined in Table 6.2A.2.0.4-2 then A-MPR = MPR+1dB For all waveform types, modulations and SCS when Fedge, low - BWChannel_CA < 2490.5 MHz If AND( MIN(FIM3,low_block,high, SEM-13,low) < Ffilter,low , MAX( SEM-13,high, FIM3,high_block,low ) > Ffilter,high ) if RB allocation is an inner or outer 1 allocation as defined in Table 6.2A.2.0.4-2 then A-MPR = MPR if RB allocation is an outer 2 allocation as defined in Table6.2A.2.0.4-2 then A-MPR = MPR+1dB Else A-MPR = A-MPRIM3 defined in Clause 6.2A.3.0.1.1.3. where - MPR is the MPR as defined in Table 6.2A.2.0.4-2, Table 6.2A.2.0.4-3 and Table 6.2A.2.0.4-4 for PC3 and PC2 respectively and the respective CA bandwidth class - FIM3,low_block,high = (2 * Flow_alloc,high_edge ) – Fhigh_alloc,low_edge - FIM3,high_block,low = (2 * Fhigh_alloc,low_edge) – Flow_alloc,high_edge - Flow_alloc,low_edge is the lowermost frequency of lower transmission bandwidth allocation. - Flow_alloc,high_edge is the uppermost frequency of lower transmission bandwidth allocation. - Fhigh_alloc,low_edge is the lowermost frequency of upper transmission bandwidth allocation. - Fhigh_alloc,high_edge is the uppermost frequency of upper transmission bandwidth allocation. - Ffilter,low = 2480 MHz 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 377 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI - Ffilter,high = 2745 MHz - SEM-13,high = Threshold frequency where upper spectral emission mask for upper channel drops from -13 dBm / 1MHz to -25 dBm / 1MHz, as specified in Clause 6.5A.2.3.0.1.1. - SEM-13,low = Threshold frequency where lower spectral emission mask below the lower channel drops from -13 dBm / MHz to -25 dBm / MHz, as specified in Clause 6.5A.2.3.0.1.1. 6.2A.3.0.1.1.3 AMPRIM3 to meet -25dBm/MHz AMPR in this clause is for intra-band contiguous CA_n41B and CA_n41C. The allowed maximum output power reduction is defined as: AMPRIM3=MA, Where MA is defined as follows MA = 13; 0 ≤ B < 2.16 11.5; 2.16 ≤ B < 3.24 10.5; 3.24 ≤ B < 5.04 9.5; 5.04 ≤ B < 10.08 8; 10.08 ≤ B < 16.56 7; 16.56 ≤ B < 21.96 6; 21.96 ≤ B Where: B=(LCRB1* 12* SCS1 + LCRB2 * 12 * SCS2)/1,000 and LCRB1, SCS1 are for CC1, LCRB2, SCS2 are for CC2, CC1 is the component carrier with lower frequency. The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-1 [2] subclause 6.2A.3.1 6.2A.3.0.2 FFS 6.2A.3.0.3 UE additional maximum output power reduction for inter-band CA Unless otherwise stated, for inter-band carrier aggregation with uplink assigned to two NR bands, the requirements in subclause 6.2.3 apply for each uplink component carrier. Unless specified in Table 6.2A.3.0.3-1, for inter-band carrier aggregation with uplink assigned to two NR bands, the requirements in clause 6.2.3 apply only to the indicated carrier. The requirements in Table 6.2A.3.0.3-1 are specified in terms of an additional spectrum emission requirement with their associated network signalling values and the allowed A-MPR. Unless otherwise stated, the combined requirements and allowed A-MPR are applicable on both bands when both component carriers are active. Additional spurious emission requirements are signalled by the network to indicate that the UE shall meet the additional requirement for a specific deployment scenario as part of the cell handover/broadcast message. To meet the additional requirements, additional maximum power reduction (A-MPR) is allowed for the maximum output power as specified in Table 6.2.1-1. Unless stated otherwise, the total reduction to UE maximum output power is max(MPR, A-MPR) where MPR is defined in clause 6.2.2. In case of a power class 3 UE, when IE powerBoostPi2BPSK is set to 1, power class 2 A-MPR values apply. For almost contiguous allocations in CP-OFDM waveforms in power class 3, the allowed A-MPR defined in clause 6.2.3 is increased by CEIL{ 10 log10(1 + NRB_gap / NRB_alloc), 0.5 } dB, where NRB_gap is the total number of unallocated RBs between allocated RBs and NRB_alloc is the total number of allocated RBs, and the parameter LCRB is replaced by NRB_alloc + NRB_gap in specifying the RB allocation regions. Unless otherwise specified, pi/2 BPSK in following A-MPR tables refers to both variants of pi/2 BPSK referenced in 6.2.2 tables 6.2.2-1.

This NS value does not indicate any additional spurious emission and maximum output power reduction requirements. 6.2A.3.1 UE additional maximum output power reduction for CA (2UL CA) Editor’s note: This clause is complete for AMPR testing. But the following aspects are either missing for not yet determined: - For intra-band non-contiguous CA, tests for network signalling value other than NS_04 are not complete. 6.2A.3.1.1 Test purpose Additional emission requirements for CA can be signalled by the network. Each additional emission requirement is associated with a unique network signalling (NS) value indicated in RRC signalling by an NR frequency band number of the applicable operating band and an associated value in the field additionalSpectrumEmission. Throughout this specification, the notion of indication or signalling of an NS value refers to the corresponding indication of an NR frequency band number of the applicable operating band, the IE freqBandIndicatorNR and an associated value of additionalSpectrumEmission in the relevant RRC information elements [6]. To meet the additional requirements, additional maximum power reduction (A-MPR) is allowed for the CA maximum output power as specified in Table 6.2A.1.0.3-1. Unless stated otherwise, the total reduction to UE maximum output power is max(MPR, A-MPR) where MPR is defined in clause 6.2A.2. Outer and inner allocation notation used in clause 6.2A.3 is defined in clause 6.2.2. In absence of modulation and waveform types the A-MPR applies to all modulation and waveform types. 6.2A.3.1.2 Test applicability The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.5A.2.3 Additional Spectrum Emission mask for CA for network signalling values CA_NS_04 to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward. The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.5A.3.3 Additional Spurious Emissions for CA for network signalling values CA_NS_04 to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward. 6.2A.3.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements The minimum conformance requirements are defined in 6.2A.3.0. 6.2A.3.1.4 Test description 6.2A.3.1.4.1 Initial conditions Initial conditions are a set of test configurations the UE needs to be tested in and the steps for the SS to take with the UE to reach the correct measurement state. For the UE maximum output power modified by A-MPR specified in table 6.2A.3.0.3-1, the power limits specified in subclause 6.2A.4.1.3 apply. The initial test configurations consist of environmental conditions, test frequencies, test channel bandwidths and sub- carrier spacing based on NR operating bands specified in table 5.3.5-1.

Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2 for all downlink physical channels. 2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 5.5.1. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2A.3.1.4.3. 3. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321 [18], clauses 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 38.133[19], clause 9.3). 4. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to tables in 6.2A.3.1.4.1 as appropriate on both PCC and SCC. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 5. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE; allow at least 200ms starting from the first TPC command in this step for the UE to reach PUMAX level. 6. Measure the sum of mean transmitted power over all component carriers in the CA configuration of the radio access mode. The period of measurement shall be at least the continuous duration of 1ms uplink. For TDD only slots consisting of only UL symbols are under test. For FDD band in inter-band CA with both TDD band and FDD band, only slots overlapping with only UL symbols in TDD are under test. For power class 2 intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation, the additional spectrum emission mask is measured as the sum from both UE transmit antenna connectors when UE indicates support for dualPA-Architecture IE.

Testing with minimum MPR has been covered in 6.2D.2. - No test points are defined for Power Class 1.5 non-FWA UEs supporting UFPTx since there is no configuration satisfying MPR=0dB requirements in TS 38.101-1. Testing with minimum MPR has been covered in 6.2D.2. - TP analysis needs to be updated regarding Note 3 in Table 6.2D.1.4.1-2 6.2D.1.1 Test purpose To verify that the error of the UE maximum output power for UL MIMO does not exceed the range prescribed by the specified nominal maximum output power and tolerance. An excess maximum output power has the possibility to interfere to other channels or other systems. A small maximum output power decreases the coverage area. 6.2D.1.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR Power Class 1.5 FWA UEs, Power Class 2 and Power Class 3 UE release 16 and forward that support UL full power transmission (ULFPTx). 6.2D.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements For UE with two or four transmit antenna connectors in closed-loop spatial multiplexing scheme, the maximum output power for any transmission bandwidth within the channel bandwidth is specified in Table 6.2D.1.3-1. The requirements shall be met with the UL MIMO configurations specified in Table 6.2D.1.3-2. For UE supporting UL MIMO, the maximum output power is defined as the sum of the maximum output power from all UE antenna connectors. The period of measurement shall be at least one sub frame (1ms).

NOTE: Test execution is not necessary if TS 38.521-1 6.5D.2.4.1 is executed. 6.2D.2.3 Minimum conformance requirements For UE with two or four transmit antenna connectors in closed-loop spatial multiplexing scheme, the allowed Maximum Power Reduction (MPR) for the maximum output power in Table 6.2D.1.3-1 is specified in Table 6.2.2.3-1 for PC3, Table 6.2D.2.3-1 for 2Tx PC2 when the UE does not indicate ul-FullPwrMode-r16 or ul-FullPwrMode2-TPMIGroup- r16 for the band and Table 6.2.2.3-2 for 2Tx PC2 when the UE indicates ul-FullPwrMode-r16 or ul-FullPwrMode2- TPMIGroup-r16 for the band, Table 6.2D.2.3-2 and Table 6.2D.2.3-3 for PC1.5 with 2Tx, Table 6.2D.2.3-4, 6.2D.2.3-5 for PC1.5 with 4Tx respectively. For UE power class 1.5 with 2Tx, the allowed maximum power reduction (MPR) defined in Table 6.2D.2.3-3 is in accordance with the indicated modifiedMPR-Behaviour specified in Table L.1-1 for channel bandwidths ≤ 100 MHz. The requirements shall be met with UL MIMO configurations defined in Table 6.2D.1.3-2. For UE supporting UL MIMO, the maximum output power is defined as the sum of the maximum output power from both antenna connectors. For UE support uplink full power transmission (ULFPTx) for UL MIMO except the feature ul-FullPwrMode-r16 or ul- FullPwrMode2-TPMIGroup-r16, the allowed MPR for the maximum output power in Table 6.2D.1.3-1 is specified in Table 6.2.2.3-1 for PC3, Table 6.2D.2.3-1 when TxD is indicated and Table 6.2.2.3-2 when TxD is not indicated for PC2 , Table 6.2D.2.3-2 and Table 6.2D.2.3-3 for PC1.5 with 2Tx, Table 6.2D.2-4, 6.2D.2-5 for PC1.5 with 4Tx respectively, and the requirements shall be met with the PUSCH configurations specified in Table 6.2D.1.3-3, based upon UE’s support of uplink full power transmission mode. A UE with 2Tx indicating the feature ul-FullPwrMode-r16 or ul-FullPwrMode2-TPMIGroup-r16 for a band shall meet the maximum output power requirement with MPR according to clause 6.2.2.3. When a UE that indicates PC1.5 for a given band is limited to PC2 by the rules in clause 6.2.1.3, the MPR requirements in Table 6.2.2.3-2 apply. For UE support uplink full power transmission (ULFPTx) for UL MIMO, the maximum output power is defined as the sum of the maximum output power from all UE antenna connectors. The same MPR requirements shall be applicable to UE with 1-layer UL MIMO transmission (either with or without ULPFTx) as with the UL MIMO configurations of using 2-layer UL MIMO transmission with codebook of . For the UE maximum output power modified by MPR, the power limits specified in subclause 6.2D.4.3 apply. If UE is scheduled for single antenna-port PUSCH transmission by DCI format 0_0 or by DCI format 0_1 for single antenna port codebook based transmission, the corresponding requirements in clause 6.2D.1.3 apply for the power class as indicated by the ue-PowerClass field in capability signalling. A UE indicating the feature ul-FullPwrMode-r16 or ul- FullPwrMode2-TPMIGroup-r16 for a band shall meet the requirement in clause 6.2 with MPR according to clause 6.2.2.3 for at least one antenna connector when scheduled for single antenna-port transmission by DCI format 0_0 or by DCI format 0_1 for codebook-based transmission on a single antenna port with precoding matrix W=1 [6.3.1.5 TS 38.211]. 1 0 0 1 2 1 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 475 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI Unless otherwise specified, ‘pi/2 BPSK’ refers to both variants of pi/2 BPSK referenced in Table 6.2.2.3-1.

Each additional emission requirement is associated a unique with network signalling (NS) value indicated in RRC signalling by an NR frequency band number of the applicable operating band and an associated value in the field additionalSpectrumEmission. Throughout this specification, the notion of indication or signalling of an NS value refers to the corresponding indication of an NR frequency band number of the applicable operating band (the IE freqBandIndicatorNR) and an associated value of additionalSpectrumEmission in the relevant RRC information elements [6]. To meet the additional requirements, additional maximum power reduction (A-MPR) is allowed for the maximum output power as specified in Table 6.2D.1.3-1. Unless stated otherwise, an A-MPR of 0 dB shall be used. 6.2D.3.2 Test applicability The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.5D.2.3 Additional Spectrum Emission mask for UL MIMO for network signalling value NS_03, NS_03U, NS_04, NS_06, NS_07 to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward that support UL MIMO. The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.5D.2.4.2 Adjacent channel leakage ratio for network signalling values NS_03U, NS_05U, and NS_100 to all types of NR Power Class 1.5, Power Class 2 and 3 UE release 15 and forward that support 2-layer codebook based UL MIMO. The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.5D.3.3 Additional Spurious Emissions for network signalling value NS_04, NS_07, NS_12, NS_13, NS_14_NS_15, NS_47, NS_21, NS_43, NS_43U, NS_56, NS_50 to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward that support UL-MIMO. NOTE: Test execution is not necessary if 6.5D.2.3, 6.5D.2.4.2 and 6.5D.3.3 are executed. The requirements of UL full power transmission apply in the test cases 6.2D.1, 6.2D.2 and 6.2D.4 to all types of NR UE release 16 and forward that support UL full power transmission (ULFPTx). The requirements of UL full power transmission apply in the test cases 6.5D.2.3 Additional spectrum emission mask for UL MIMO, 6.5D.2.4.2 Adjacent channel leakage ratio for UL MIMO and 6.5D.3_1.3 Additional spurious emissions for UL MIMO for corresponding network signalling value to all types of NR UE release 16 and for forward that support UL MIMO. NOTE: This requirements of ULFPTx in this test case is not tested. 6.2D.3.3 Minimum conformance requirements For UE with two transmit antenna connectors in closed-loop spatial multiplexing scheme, the A-MPR values specified in subclause 6.2.3.3 shall apply to the maximum output power specified in Table 6.2D.1.3-1. The requirements shall be met with the UL MIMO configurations specified in Table 6.2D.1.3-2. For UE supporting UL MIMO, the maximum output power is defined as the sum of the maximum output power from both UE antenna connector. Unless stated otherwise, an A-MPR of 0 dB shall be used. For UE support uplink full power transmission (ULFPTx) for UL MIMO, the A-MPR values specified in clause 6.2.3.3 shall apply to the maximum output power specified in Table 6.2D.1.3-1. The requirements shall be met with the PUSCH configurations specified in Table 6.2D.1.3-3, based upon UE’s support of uplink full power transmission mode. For the UE maximum output power modified by A-MPR, the power limits specified in subclause 6.2D.4.3 apply. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 505 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI If UE is configured for transmission on single-antenna port, the requirements in subclause 6.2.3.3 apply. The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-1 [2] clause 6.2D.3. 6.2D.3.4 Test description 6.2D.3.4.1 Initial conditions Initial conditions are a set of test configurations the UE needs to be tested in and the steps for the SS to take with the UE to reach the correct measurement state. The initial test configurations consist of environmental conditions, test frequencies, test channel bandwidths and sub- carrier spacing based on NR operating bands specified in table 5.3.5-1. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each combination of test channel bandwidth and sub-carrier spacing, and are shown in tables 6.2D.3.4.1-1 to 6.2D.3.4.1-11.

Message contents are defined in clause 6.2D.3.4.3. 6.2D.3.4.2 Test procedure 1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to applicable table in clause 6.2D.3.4.1. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. The PDCCH DCI format 0_1 is specified with the condition 2TX_UL_MIMO in 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.3.6.1.1.2. 2. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE. Allow at least 200ms starting from the first TPC command in this step for the UE to reach PUMAX level. 3. Measure the sum of the mean power of the UE at each transmit antenna connector in the channel bandwidth of the radio access mode. The period of measurement shall be at least the continuous duration of 1ms over all active uplink slots and in the uplink symbols. For TDD slots only slots consisting of only UL symbols are under. 4.

Throughout this specification, the notion of indication or signalling of an NS value refers to the corresponding indication of an NR frequency band number of the applicable operating band (the IE freqBandIndicatorNR) and an associated value of additionalSpectrumEmission in the relevant RRC information elements [6]. To meet the additional requirements, additional maximum power reduction (A-MPR) is allowed for the maximum output power as specified in Table 6.2D.1_1.3-1. Unless stated otherwise, an A-MPR of 0 dB shall be used. 6.2D.3_1.2 Test applicability The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.5D.2.4.2_1 UTRA Adjacent channel leakage ratio for network signalling values NS_05U to all types of NR UE release 17 and forward that support SUL and UL-MIMO. The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.5D.3_2.3 Additional Spurious Emissions for network signalling value NS_05, NS_05U, NS_43, NS_43U, and NS_56 to all types of NR UE release 17 and forward that support SUL and UL- MIMO. NOTE: Test execution is not necessary if 6.5D.2.4.2_1 and 6.5D.3_2.3 are executed. 6.2D.3_1.3 Minimum conformance requirements For a terminal that supports SUL for the band combination specified in Table 5.2C-1, the current version of the specification assumes the terminal is configured with active transmission either on UL carrier or SUL carrier at any time in one serving cell and the UE requirements for single carrier shall apply for the active UL or SUL carrier accordingly. For UE with two transmit antenna connectors in closed-loop spatial multiplexing scheme, the A-MPR values specified in subclause 6.2.3.3 shall apply to the maximum output power specified in Table 6.2D.1_1.3-1. The requirements shall be met with the UL MIMO configurations specified in Table 6.2D.1_1.3-2. For UE supporting UL MIMO, the maximum output power is defined as the sum of the maximum output power from both UE antenna connector. Unless stated otherwise, an A-MPR of 0 dB shall be used. For the UE maximum output power modified by A-MPR, the power limits specified in subclause 6.2D.4_1.3 apply. If UE is configured for transmission on single-antenna port, the requirements in subclause 6.2.3.3 apply. The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-1 [2] clause 6.2D.3.1. 6.2D.3_1.4 Test description 6.2D.3_1.4.1 Test procedure Initial conditions are a set of test configurations the UE needs to be tested in and the steps for the SS to take with the UE to reach the correct measurement state. The initial test configurations consist of environmental conditions, test frequencies, test channel bandwidths and sub- carrier spacing based on NR operating bands specified in Table 5.5C-1. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each combination of test channel bandwidth and sub-carrier spacing and are shown in Table 6.2D.3_1.4.1-1 to Table 6.2D.3_1.4.1-5. The details of the uplink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annex A.2. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2.

This test case applies to all types of NR Power Class 1.5, Power Class 2 and Power Class 3 UE release 16 and forward that support UL full power transmission (ULFPTx). 6.2D.4.3 Minimum conformance requirements For UE supporting UL MIMO, the transmitted power is configured per each UE. The definitions of configured maximum output power PCMAX,c, the lower bound PCMAX_L,c, and the higher bound PCMAX_H,c specified in subclause 6.2.4 shall apply to UE supporting UL MIMO, where PPowerClass, ΔPPowerClass and ΔTC,c are specified in subclause 6.2D.1.3; MPRc is specified in subclause 6.2D.2.3; A-MPRc is specified in subclause 6.2D.3.3. The measured configured maximum output power PUMAX,c for serving cell c shall be within the following bounds: PCMAX_L,c – MAX{TL, T LOW(PCMAX_L,c)} ≤ PUMAX,c ≤ PCMAX_H,c + T HIGH(PCMAX_H,c) where TLOW(PCMAX_L,c) and THIGH(PCMAX_H,c) are defined as the tolerance and applies to PCMAX_L,c and PCMAX_H,c separately, while TL is the absolute value of the lower tolerance in Table 6.2D.1.3-1 for the applicable operating band.

Additional emission requirements can be indicated by the network or pre-configured radio parameters. Each additional emission requirement is associated with a unique network signalling (NS) value indicated in RRC signalling by an NR frequency band number of the applicable operating band and an associated value in the field [additionalSpectrumEmission]. Throughout this specification, the notion of indication or signalling of an NS value refers to the corresponding indication of an NR V2X frequency band number of the applicable operating band, the IE field [freqBandIndicatorNR] and an associated value of [additionalSpectrumEmission] in the relevant RRC information elements [6]. To meet the additional requirements, additional maximum power reduction (A-MPR) is allowed for the maximum output power as specified in Table 6.2.1-1. In absence of modulation and waveform types the A-MPR applies to all modulation and waveform types.

Connect the SS and GNSS simulator to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 38.508-1 [5] Annex A, Figure A.3.1.9.2 for TE diagram and section A.3.2.7 for UE diagram. For test procedures: Subtest 1 are replaced by: 1. Ensure the UE is in state 4-A as defined in TS 38.508-1 [4], subclause 4.4A using generic procedure parameter Sidelink (On), Cast Type (Unicast), GNSS Sync (On) and Transmit Mode with SL-MIMO. The UE is synchronized to GNSS, 2. The UE starts to perform the NR sidelink communication according to SL-PreconfigurationNR with 2-layer MIMO codebook TPMI 0. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the NR sidelink RMC. 3. Measure the sum of mean power of the UE at each transmit antenna connector in the channel bandwidth according to the test configuration from Table 6.2E.3.1.4.1-1.

Downlink signals are initially set up according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2, and uplink signals according to Annex G.0, G.1, G.2, G.3.0. 4. The UL Reference Measurement Channel is set according to Table 6.2F.1.4.1-1. 5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0. 6. Ensure the UE is in state RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR, Connected without release On, Test Mode On and Test Loop Function On according to TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 4.5. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2F.1.4.3. 6.2F.1.4.2 Test procedure 1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.2F.1.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 2. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE; allow at least 200ms starting from the first TPC command in this step for the UE to reach PUMAX level. 3. Measure the mean power of the UE in the channel bandwidth of the radio access mode. The period of measurement shall be at least the continuous duration of one active sub-frame (1ms) and in the uplink symbols. Symbols with transient periods are not under test.

Each additional emission requirement is associated with a unique network signalling (NS) value indicated in RRC signalling by an NR frequency band number of the applicable operating band and an associated value in the field additionalSpectrumEmission. Throughout this specification, the notion of indication or signalling of an NS value refers to the corresponding indication of an NR frequency band number of the applicable operating band, the IE field freqBandIndicatorNR and an associated value of additionalSpectrumEmission in the relevant RRC information elements [6]. To meet the additional requirements, additional maximum power reduction (A-MPR) is allowed for the maximum output power as specified in Table 6.2F.1.3-1. Unless stated otherwise, the total reduction to UE maximum output power is max (MPR, A-MPR) where MPR is defined in clause 6.2F.2. Table 6.2F.3.3.1-1 specifies the additional requirements with their associated network signalling values and the allowed A-MPR and applicable operating band(s) for each NS value. The mapping of NR frequency band numbers and values of the additionalSpectrumEmission to network signalling labels is specified in Table 6.2F.3.3.1-1A. The NS_01 label with the field additionalPmax [6] absent is default for all NR bands.

Message contents are defined in clause 6.2F.3.4.3. 6.2F.3.4.2 Test procedure 1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.2F.3.4.1-1 to 6.2F.3.4.1-2. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 2. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE; allow at least 200ms starting from the first TPC command in this step for the UE to reach PUMAX level. 3. Measure the mean power of the UE in the channel bandwidth of the radio access mode. The period of measurement shall be at least the continuous duration of one active sub-frame (1ms) and in the uplink symbols. Symbols with transient periods are not under test. 6.2F.3.4.3 Message contents Message contents are according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.6 and 5.4 with the following exceptions.

SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.2F.4.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 2. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE; allow at least 200ms starting from the first TPC command in this step to ensure that the UE reaches the Pumax level of the test point. 3. Measure the mean power of the UE in the channel bandwidth for each test point in table 6.2F.4.5-1 according to the test configuration from table 6.2F.4.4.1-1. The period of measurement shall be at least the continuous duration of one active slot and in the uplink symbols.

Testing with minimum MPR has been covered in 6.2G.2. - MU and TT for >6GHz are working assumption based on analysis of single TE vendor. Values will be revisited once analysis from other TE vendors is available. 6.2G.1.1 Test purpose To verify that the error of the UE maximum output power does not exceed the range prescribed by the specified nominal maximum output power and tolerance. An excess maximum output power has the possibility to interfere to other channels or other systems. A small maximum output power decreases the coverage area. 6.2G.1.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR Power Class 1.5 FWA UE, Power Class 2 and Power Class 3 UE release 15 and forward that support Tx diversity. 6.2G.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements For UE supporting Tx Diversity, the maximum output power as indicated by UE power class in Table 6.2G.1.3-1 is defined as the sum of the maximum output power from all UE transmit antenna connectors. The period of measurement shall be at least one sub frame (1 ms). When a UE indicates PC1.5 for a given band it achieves maximum power by means of TxD in the current version of the spec.

Note: No test points are defined for Power Class 1.5 UEs with 4Tx since there is no configuration satisfying MPR=0dB requirements in TS 38.101-1. 6.2G.2 UE maximum output power reduction for Tx Diversity Editor’s note: The following aspects are either missing or not yet determined: - MU and TT for >6GHz are working assumption based on analysis of single TE vendor. Values will be revisited once analysis from other TE vendors is available. 6.2G.2.1 Test purpose The number of RB identified in Table 6.2D.2.3-1 and Table 6.2D.2.3-2 is based on meeting the requirements for adjacent channel leakage ratio and the maximum power reduction (MPR) due to Cubic Metric (CM). 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 653 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI 6.2G.2.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR Power Class 1.5, Power Class 2 and Power Class 3 UE release 15 and forward that support Tx diversity. NOTE: Test execution is not necessary if TS 38.521-1 6.5G.2.3.1 is executed. 6.2G.2.3 Minimum conformance requirements For UE supporting Tx diversity, the allowed MPR for the maximum output power is specified in Table 6.2.2.3-1 for UE power class 3, in Table 6.2D.2.3-1 for UE power class 2, Table 6.2D.2.3-2 and Table 6.2D.2.3-3 for UE power class 1.5 with 2Tx, in Table 6.2D.2.3-4 and 6.2D.2.3-5 for UE power class 1.5 with 4 Tx. For UE power class 1.5, the allowed maximum power reduction (MPR) defined in Table 6.2D.2.3-3 is in accordance with the indicated modifiedMPR- Behaviour specified in Table L.1-1 for channel bandwidths ≤ 100 MHz. The maximum output power is defined as the sum of the maximum output power at each UE antenna connector. If a UE that supports PC1.5 has to apply the requirements of PC2 according to the rules in clause 6.2.1, the MPR requirements in Table 6.2.2.3-2 apply. For the UE maximum output power modified by MPR, the power limits specified in subclause 6.2G.4 apply. The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-1 [2] clause 6.2G.2. 6.2G.2.4 Test description 6.2G.2.4.1 Initial conditions Initial conditions are a set of test configurations the UE needs to be tested in and the steps for the SS to take with the UE to reach the correct measurement state. The initial test configurations consist of environmental conditions, test frequencies, channel bandwidths and sub-carrier spacing based on NR operating bands specified in Table 5.3.5-1. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each combination of test channel bandwidth and sub-carrier spacing, and are shown in Table 6.2G.2.4.1-1, Table 6.2G.2.4.1-2, and Table 6.2G.2.4.1-3.

Each additional emission requirement is associated with a unique network signalling (NS) value indicated in RRC signalling by an NR frequency band number of the applicable operating band and an associated value in the field additionalSpectrumEmission. Throughout this specification, the notion of indication or signalling of an NS value refers to the corresponding indication of an NR frequency band number of the applicable operating band, the IE field freqBandIndicatorNR and an associated value of additionalSpectrumEmission in the relevant RRC information elements [6]. To meet the additional requirements, additional maximum power reduction (A-MPR) is allowed for the maximum output power as specified in Table 6.2.1.3-1. Unless stated otherwise, the total reduction to UE maximum output power is max(MPR, A-MPR) where MPR is defined in clause 6.2G.2. Outer and inner allocation notation used in clause 6.2G.3 is defined in clause 6.2.2. In absence of modulation and waveform types the A-MPR applies to all modulation and waveform types. 6.2G.3.2 Test applicability The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.5G.2.2 Additional Spectrum Emission mask for Tx Diversity for network signalling value NS_04 to all types of NR Power Class 1.5, Power Class 2 reporting Tx diversity UE release 15 and forward. The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.5G.3.3 Additional Spurious Emissions Tx Diversity for network signalling values NS_04, NS_47 and NS_50 to all types of NR Power Class 2 and Power Class 1.5 reporting Tx diversity UE release 15 and forward. 6.2G.3.3 Minimum conformance requirements For UE supporting Tx diversity, the A-MPR values specified in clause 6.2.3 shall apply to the maximum output power specified in Table 6.2.1-1, and the maximum output power is defined as the sum of the maximum output power at each UE antenna connector. Unless stated otherwise, an A-MPR of 0 dB shall be used. Table 6.2G.3.3-1 specifies the additional requirements with their associated network signalling values and the allowed A-MPR and applicable operating band(s) for each NS value. The mapping of NR frequency band numbers and values of the additionalSpectrumEmission to network signalling labels is specified in Table 6.2G.3.3-2.

Table 6.1-1 unless otherwise stated in this table. NOTE 2: DFT-s-OFDM PI/2 BPSK test applies only for UEs which supports half Pi BPSK in FR1. NOTE 3: For FR1 bands where highest supported SCS is 60 kHz the highest tested SCS is limited to 30 kHz as carrier with SCS=60 kHz cannot be used as PCell. 1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 38.508-1 [5] Annex A, Figure A.3.1.1.1 for TE diagram and section A.3.2 for UE diagram. 2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.4.3. 3. Downlink signals are initially set up according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2 and uplink signals according Annex G.0, G.1, G.2 and G.3.0. 4. The UL Reference Measurement channels are set according to the applicable table from Table 6.2G.3.4.1-1 to Table 6.2G.3.4.1-2. 5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0. 6. Ensure the UE is in state RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR, Connected without release On, Test Mode On and Test Loop Function On according to TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 4.5. Message contents are defined in clause 6.2G.3.4.3. 6.2G.3.4.2 Test procedure 1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to the applicable table from Table 6.2G.3.4.1-1 to Table 6.2G.3.4.1-2. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 2. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE Allow at least 200ms starting from the first TPC command in this step for the UE to reach PUMAX level. 3. Measure the sum of the mean power of the UE at each antenna connector in the channel bandwidth of the radio access mode. The period of measurement shall be at least the continuous duration one sub-frame (1ms). For TDD, only slots consisting of only UL symbols are under test. 4. For network signalling value “NS_04” and UEs supporting Power Class 2 and Power Class 1.5, repeat steps 1~3 on the applicable bands with message exception of P-Max defined in Table 6.2G.3.4.3.1-2. 5. For network signalling value “NS_04” and UEs supporting Power Class 1.5, repeat steps 1~3 on the applicable bands with message exception of P-Max defined in Table 6.2G.3.4.3.1-3. NOTE 1: When switching to DFT-s-OFDM waveform, as specified in the test configuration Table 6.2G.3.4.1-1, send an NR RRCReconfiguration message according to TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 4.6.3 Table 4.6.3-118 PUSCH-Config with TRANSFORM_PRECODER_ENABLED condition. 6.2G.3.4.3 Message contents Message contents are according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.6.1, with the following exceptions for each network signalling value. 6.2G.3.4.3.1 Message contents exceptions for network signalling value "NS_04" 1. Information element additionalSpectrumEmission is set to NS_04. This can be set in the SIB1 as part of the cell broadcast message. This exception indicates that the UE shall meet the additional spurious emission requirement for a specific deployment scenario. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 687 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI Table 6.2G.3.4.3.1-1: AdditionalSpectrumEmission Additional spurious emissions test requirement for "NS_04" Derivation Path: TS 38.508-1 [5], Table 4.6.3-1 Information Element Value/remark Comment Condition additionalSpectrumEmission 1 (NS_04) Table 6.2G.3.4.3.1-2: P-Max (Step 4) Derivation Path: TS 38.508-1 [5], Table 4.6.3-89 Information Element Value/remark Comment Condition P-Max 23 PC2 UE or PC1.5 UE Table 6.2G.3.4.3.1-3: P-Max (Step 5) Derivation Path: TS 38.508-1 [5], Table 4.6.3-89 Information Element Value/remark Comment Condition P-Max 26 PC1.5 UE 6.2G.3.4.3.2 Message contents exceptions for network signalling value "NS_47" 1.

An excess maximum output power has the possibility to interfere to other channels or other systems. A small maximum output power decreases the coverage area. 6.2H.1.1.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward that support intra-band UL contiguous CA with UL MIMO. NOTE: Testing can’t be performed due to lack of appropriate test points. 6.2H.1.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements For intra-band UL contiguous CA and UE with two transmit antenna connectors in closed-loop spatial multiplexing scheme, the maximum output power is defined as the sum of the maximum output power from both UE antenna connectors and all UL CCs.

The requirements of this test apply to all types of Aerial UE release 18 and forward. 6.2K.2 Maximum output power reduction for Aerial UE For Aerial UE, the requirements specified in clause 6.2.2 apply. The requirements of this test apply to all types of Aerial UE release 18 and forward. 6.2K.3 Additional maximum output power reduction for Aerial UE Editor’s note: This test case is incomplete. MU and TT to be checked. Test configuration tables and test requirements for NS_UAV_44 and NS_UAV_70 are TBD. 6.2K.3.1 Test purpose Additional emission requirements can be signalled by the network. Each additional emission requirement is associated with a unique network signalling (NS) value indicated in RRC signalling by an NR frequency band number of the applicable operating band and an associated value in the field additionalSpectrumEmission as described in Clause 5.2.2.4 of [6]. In this specification, NS_UAV refers to a network signalling value applicable only for Aerial UEs [6]. The notion of indication or signalling of an NS_UAV value refers to the corresponding indication of an NR frequency band number of the applicable operating band, the IE field frequencyBandListAerial and an associated value of additionalSpectrumEmission in the relevant RRC information elements [6]. To meet the additional requirements, additional maximum power reduction (A-MPR) is allowed for the maximum output power as specified in Table 6.2.1.3-1. Unless stated otherwise, the total reduction to UE maximum output power is max(MPR, A-MPR) where MPR is defined in clause 6.2.2. Outer and inner allocation notation used in clause 6.2K.3 are defined in clause 6.2.2. Unless stated otherwise, Edge RB allocations get the same A-MPR as Outer RB allocations. In absence of modulation and waveform types the A-MPR applies to all modulation and waveform types. 6.2K.3.2 Test applicability The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.5K.3.3 Additional spurious emissions for network signalling values NS_UAV_44, NS_UAV_46 and NS_UAV_70 to all types of Aerial UE release 18 and forward. 6.2K.3.3 Minimum conformance requirements 6.2K.3.3.1 General Table 6.2K.3.3.1-1 specifies the additional requirements with their associated Network Signalling label and the allowed A-MPR and applicable operating band(s). The mapping of NR frequency band numbers and values of the additionalSpectrumEmission to network signalling labels is specified in Table 6.2.3.3.1-1A. For almost contiguous allocations in CP-OFDM waveforms in power class 3, the allowed A-MPR defined in clause 6.2K.3 is increased by CEIL{ 10 log10(1 + NRB_gap / NRB_alloc), 0.5 } dB, where CEIL{x, 0.5} means x rounding upwards to closest 0.5dB, NRB_gap is the total number of unallocated RBs between allocated RBs and NRB_alloc is the total number of allocated RBs, and the parameter LCRB is replaced by NRB_alloc + NRB_gap in specifying the RB allocation regions. Unless otherwise specified, pi/2 BPSK refers to both variants of pi/2 BPSK referenced in Table 6.2.2.3-1. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 731 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI Table 6.2K.3.3.1-1: Additional Maximum Power Reduction (A-MPR) for Uncrewed Aerial UE Network signalling label Requirement s (clause) NR Band Channel bandwidth (MHz) Resources blocks (NRB) A-MPR (dB) NS_UAV_44 6.5K.3.3.3.1 38 25, 30, 40 Table 6.2K.3.3.2-1 Table 6.2K.3.3.2-2 NS_UAV_46 6.5K.3.3.3.2 7 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50 N/A NS_UAV_70 6.5K.3.3.3.3 3 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 Table 6.2K.3.3.3-1 Table 6.2K.3.3.3-2 Table 6.2K.3.3.1-1A: Mapping of network signalling label NR band Value of additionalSpectrumEmission 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 n3 NS_UAV_01 NS_UAV_70 Reserved n7 NS_UAV_01 NS_UAV_46 Reserved n38 NS_UAV_01 NS_UAV_44 Reserved 6.2K.3.3.2 A-MPR for NS_UAV_44 Table 6.2K.3.3.2-1: A-MPR regions for NS_UAV_44 Channel Bandwidth, MHz Carrier Center Frequency, Fc, MHz Regions A-MPR RBend*12*SCS MHz LCRB*12*SCS MHz 25 MHz 2582.5≤ FC ≤ 2602.5 <18.0 > 12*SCS* RBend - 3.6 A3 ≥18.0 <7.2 A3 ≥18.0 ≥7.2 A6 30 MHz 2585 ≤ FC ≤ 2600 <21.6 > 12*SCS* RBend - 3.6 A3 ≥21.6 <12.6 A3 ≥21.6 ≥12.6 A6 40 MHz 2590 ≤ FC ≤ 2595 ≥0, <2.88 >0 A1 ≥2.88, <14.4 >, 12*SCS*RBend - 3.6 A2 ≥14.4, <23.4 >10.8 A3 ≥23.4, <32.4 >16.2 A4 ≥32.4 >0 A5 Table 6.2K.3.3.2-2: A-MPR for NS_UAV_44 Modulation/Waveform A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 Outer/Inner Outer/Inner Outer/Inner Outer/Inner Outer/Inner Outer/Inner DFT-s- OFDM PI/2 BPSK 5 2 3 7 12 4 QPSK 5 2 3 7 12 4 16 QAM 5 2 3 7 12 4 64 QAM 5 3 7 12 4 256 QAM 5 7 12 CP- OFDM QPSK 5 4 5 8 12 6 16 QAM 5 4 5 8 12 6 64 QAM 5 4 5 8 12 6 256 QAM 5 8 12 The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-1 [2] clause 6.2K.3.2. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 732 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI 6.2K.3.3.3 A-MPR for NS_UAV_70 Table 6.2K.3.3.3-1: A-MPR regions for NS_UAV_70 (Power Class 3) Channel Carrier Center Regions A-MPR Bandwidth, [MHz] Frequency, Fc, [MHz] RBstart*12*SCS [MHz] LCRB*12*SCS [MHz] 5 MHz FC ≤ 1722.5 ≤ 0.18 ≤ 2.34 A1 > 2.34 A3 > 0.18, ≤ 0.36 ≤ 0.36 A2 > 0.36 A3 > 0.36, ≤ 0.72 < 1.8 A4 ≥ 1.8 A3 > 0.72 > 1.5*RBstart*12*SCS - 2.5*12*SCS A4 ≤ 1.5*RBstart*12*SCS – 2.5*12*SCS A5 10 MHz FC ≤ 1735 ≤ 0.72 ≤ 1.26 A1 > 1.26 A2 > 0.72, ≤ 3.78 > 1.5*RBstart*12*SCS - 2.5*12*SCS A4 ≤ 1.5*RBstart*12*SCS - 2.5*12*SCS A5 > 3.78, ≤ 5.04 > 2.7 A5 ≤ 2.7 A6 > 5.04 > 0 A5 15 MHz FC ≤ 1747.5 ≤ 0.72 ≤ 1.26 A1 > 1.26 A2 > 0.72, ≤ 5.58 > 1.5*RBstart*12*SCS - 2.5*12*SCS A4 ≤ 1.5*RBstart*12*SCS - 2.5*12*SCS A5 > 5.58, ≤ 9.72 > 3.78 A5 ≤ 3.78 A6 > 9.72 > 0 A5 20 MHz FC ≤ 1760 ≤ 0.72 ≤ 8.1 A1 > 8.1 A4 > 0.72, ≤ 7.2 > 1.5*RBstart*12*SCS - 2.5*12*SCS A4 ≤ 1.5*RBstart*12*SCS - 2.5*12*SCS A5 > 7.2, ≤ 12.96 > 5.58 A5 ≤ 5.58 A6 > 12.96 > 0 A5 25 MHz FC ≤ 1772.5 ≤ 0.72 > 0 A1 > 0.72, ≤ 8.64 > 1.5*RBstart*12*SCS - 2.5*12*SCS A4 ≤ 1.5*RBstart*12*SCS - 2.5*12*SCS A5 > 8.64 > 6.12 A5 ≤ 6.12, > 0.72 A6 ≤ 0.72 A5 30 MHz FC ≤ 1750 ≤ 24.3 > 0 A2 > 24.3 > 0 A5 1750 < FC < 1765 ≤ 24.3 > 0 A5 > 24.3 > 0 A6 FC ≥ 1765 ≥ 0 > 0 A5 35 MHz FC ≤ 1750 ≤ 29.16 > 0 A2 > 29.16 > 0 A5 1750 < FC < 1765 ≤ 29.16 > 0 A5 > 29.16 > 0 A6 FC ≥ 1765 ≥ 0 > 0 A6 40 MHz FC ≤ 1740 ≤ 32.4 > 0 A2 > 32.4 > 0 A5 FC > 1740 ≤ 32.4 > 0 A5 > 32.4 > 0 A6 45 MHz FC ≤ 1740 ≤ 35.64 > 0 A2 > 35.64 > 0 A5 FC > 1740 ≤ 35.64 > 0 A5 > 35.64 > 0 A6 50 MHz FC ≤ 1740 ≤ 38.88 > 0 A2 > 38.88 > 0 A5 FC > 1740 ≤ 38.88 > 0 A5 > 38.88 > 0 A6 NOTE 1: The A-MPR values are listed in Table 6.2K.3.3.3-2.

Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 2. Send continuously uplink power control "down" commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE; allow at least 200ms starting from the first TPC command in this step to ensure that the UE transmits at its minimum output power. 3. Measure the mean power of the UE in the associated measurement channel bandwidth specified in Table 6.3.1.5- 1 for the specific channel bandwidth under test. The period of measurement shall be at least the continuous duration of one active sub-frame (1ms) and in the uplink symbols.

When a UE signals the transient period capability, the transient period value (tp) can be 2, 4, or 7 μs. If no capability is signalled, the default transient period value of 10 μs applies. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 746 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI In case of RB hopping, and in following figures where tpstart is specified, the transient period is shared symmetrically when the transient period is 10 μs. If the UE signals a transient period (tp) of 2, 4 or 7 μs, the transient period start position is given by tpstart in Table 6.3.3.1-1. Table 6.3.3.1-1: tpstart values tp (μs) tpstart (μs) 2 -0.5 4 -1 7 -2.7 NOTE 1: Negative values mean that the transient period starts before the symbol boundary Unless otherwise stated the minimum requirements in clause 6.5 apply also in transient periods. In the following sub-clauses, following definitions apply: - A slot or long subslot transmission is a transmission with more than 2 symbols. - A short subslot transmission is a transmission with 1 or 2 symbols. 6.3.3.2 General ON/OFF time mask 6.3.3.2.1 Test purpose To verify that the general ON/OFF time mask meets the requirements given in 6.3.3.2.5. The transmit power time mask for transmit ON/OFF defines the transient period(s) allowed between transmit OFF power as defined in sub-clause 6.3.2 and transmit ON power symbols (transmit ON/OFF) Transmission of the wrong power increases interference to other channels, or increases transmission errors in the uplink channel. 6.3.3.2.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR Power Class 1 release 15 and forward. This test case applies to all types of NR Power Class 2 and Power Class 3 UE release 15 and forward that don’t support Tx diversity. 6.3.3.2.3 Minimum conformance requirements The general ON/OFF time mask defines the observation period between transmit OFF and ON power and between transmit ON and OFF power for each SCS. ON/OFF scenarios include: the beginning or end of DTX, measurement gap, contiguous, and non-contiguous transmission, etc. The OFF power measurement period is defined in a duration of at least one slot excluding any transient periods. The ON power is defined as the mean power over one slot excluding any transient period.

SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.3.3.2.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. The UL assignment is such that the UE transmits on slot 3 for15kHz SCS, on slot 8 for 30kHz SCS and on slot 16 for 60kHz SCS. PUSCH is transmitted in the first half of the frame. 2. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE; allow at least 200ms starting from the first TPC command in this step for the UE to reach PUMAX level. 3. ON power sub test: 3.1. Measure the output power of the transmitted SRS transmission during 1 OFDM symbol. The SRS transmission in the second half of the frame is used for measurement since there is no PUSCH transmission before and after. 4. OFF power sub test: 4.1.

Send uplink power control commands for PUCCH to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as – (Uplink power control window size / 2) dB to + (Uplink power control window size / 2) dB of the target power level + 0 dBm, where: - Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 2.0dB (UE power step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 2.0dB for PUCCH with 1dB power step size, and the Test system relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1. 1.2. Every 5 sub-frames (5ms) transmit to the UE downlink PDSCH MAC padding bits as well as 0 dB TPC command for PUCCH via the PDCCH to make the UE transmit ACK/NACK on the PUCCH for 1 sub- frame(1ms). The downlink transmission is scheduled in the appropriate slots to make the UE transmit PUCCH as described in figure 6.3.4.4.4.2-1 1.3. Measure the power of 5 consecutive PUCCH transmissions to verify the UE transmitted PUCCH power is maintained within 21ms. 2. PUSCH sub test: 2.1. The SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the PUSCH. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. Send uplink power control commands for PUSCH to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as – (Uplink power control window size / 2) dB to + (Uplink power control window size / 2) dB of the target power level + 0 dBm, where: - Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for PUSCH with 1dB power step size, and the Test system relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 785 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F.4.4. 2.2. Every 5 sub-frames (5ms) schedule the UE's PUSCH data transmission for 1 sub-frame(1ms), and transmit 0 dB TPC command for PUSCH via the PDCCH to make the UE transmit PUSCH. The uplink transmission patterns are described in figure 6.3.4.4.4.2-1, 2.3. Measure the power of 5 consecutive PUSCH transmissions to verify the UE transmitted PUSCH power is maintained within 21ms transmissions. 6.3.4.4.4.3 Message contents Message contents are according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.6. 6.3.4.4.5 Test requirement The requirement for the power measurements made in step (1.3) and (2.3) of the test procedure shall not exceed the values specified in Table 6.3.4.4.5-1. The power measurement period shall be 1 sub-frame(1ms).

Every 5 sub-frames (5ms) schedule the UE's PUSCH data transmission for 1 sub-frame(1ms), and transmit 0 dB TPC command for PUSCH via the PDCCH to make the UE transmit PUSCH. The uplink transmission patterns are described in figure 6.3A.4.3.1.4.2-1. 7. Measure the power on both PCC and SCC of 5 consecutive PUSCH transmissions to verify the UE transmitted PUSCH power is maintained within 21ms transmissions on each component carrier. 6.3A.4.3.1.4.3 Message contents Message contents are according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.6 with the following exceptions: Table 6.3A.4.3.1.4.3-1: Void 6.3A.4.3.1.5 Test requirement For intra-band contiguous CA, the aggregate power control tolerance per component carrier measured in step (4.3) and step (5.3) of the test procedure is not to exceed the values specified in Table 6.3A.4.3.1.5-1.

Ensure the UE is in state RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR, Connected without release On, Test Mode On and Test Loop Function On according to TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 4.5. Message contents are defined in clause 6.3D.4.2.4.3. 6.3D.4.2.4.2 Test procedure Same test procedure as clause 6.3.4.3.4.2 with following exceptions. The power of PUSCH transmissions should be measured as the sum power at each antenna connector. Instead of table 6.3.4.3.4.1-1 use Table 6.3D.4.2.4.1-1 Step 1.1 in ramping up pattern sub test should be changed into following description: 1.1 SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.3D.4.2.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. Send the appropriate TPC commands for PUSCH to the UE to ensure that the UE transmits PUSCH at -31.8 dBm +/- 2.7 dB. 6.3D.4.2.4.3 Message contents Message contents are according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.6 ensuring Table 4.6.3-182 with condition 2TX_UL_MIMO. 6.3D.4.2.5 Test requirement Each UE power step measured in the test procedure 6.3D.4.2.4.2 should satisfy the test requirements specified in Table 6.3D.4.2.5-1 thru 6.3D.4.2.5-7. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 930 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI To account for RF Power amplifier mode changes 2 exceptions are allowed for each of ramping up and ramping down test patterns.

The transmit power ON/OFF time mask specified in clause 6.3F.3.2 supersedes the ON/OFF masks specified in clause 6.3.3; however, between continuous ON-power transmissions the requirements in clause 6.3.3 apply. Unless otherwise stated the requirements in clause 6.5F apply also in transient periods. 6.3F.3.2 General ON/OFF time mask Editor’s Note: - MU and TT for >6GHz (band n96) are working assumption based on analysis of single TE vendor. Values will be revisited once analysis from other TE vendors is available. 6.3F.3.2.1 Test purpose To verify that the general ON/OFF time mask meets the requirements given in 6.3F.3.2.5. The transmit power time mask for transmit ON/OFF defines the transient period(s) allowed between transmit OFF power as defined in sub-clause 6.3F.2 and transmit ON power symbols (transmit ON/OFF) Transmission of the wrong power increases interference to other channels, or increases transmission errors in the uplink channel. 6.3F.3.2.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR UE release 16 and forward that support NR standalone shared spectrum channel access. 6.3F.3.2.3 Minimum conformance requirements The general ON/OFF time mask defines the observation period between transmit OFF and ON power and between transmit ON and OFF power for each SCS as illustrated below in Figure 6.3F.3.2.3-1. ON/OFF scenarios include: contiguous, and non-contiguous transmission, etc. The OFF power measurement period is defined in a duration of at least one slot excluding any transient periods. The ON power is defined as the mean power over the duration of at least one slot excluding any transient period and non- transmitted symbols. The leading transient period starts 5us before the beginning of the first symbol of transmission and extends 10us into the transmission including the CP extension if applicable. The trailing transient period starts 5us before the end of transmission and extends 5us beyond the end of transmission. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 966 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI CP-E Figure 6.3F.3.2.3-1: General ON/OFF time mask for shared spectrum channel access The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-1 [2] clause 6.3F.3.2. 6.3F.3.2.4 Test description 6.3F.3.2.4.1 Initial condition Initial conditions are a set of test configurations the UE needs to be tested in and the steps for the SS to take with the UE to reach the correct measurement state.

Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as +MU to +(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level -33 dBm, where: - MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.2-1 for the carrier frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW. - Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where the UE power step tolerance is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3F.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1. 1.2.

Uplink RB allocation as defined in table 6.3F.4.3.5-1/6.3F.4.3.5-3/ 6.3F.4.3.5-5 depending on channel bandwidth. On the PDCCH format 0_1 for the scheduling of the PUSCH the SS will transmit a +1dB TPC command for every first slot in a sub-frame. Note that the measurement need not be done continuously, provided that interruptions are whole numbers of frames, and TPC commands of 0dB are sent during the interruption. 1.3.

The initial test configurations consist of environmental conditions, test frequencies, test channel bandwidths and sub- carrier spacing based on NR CA configurations specified in 5.5A. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each combination of test channel bandwidth and sub-carrier spacing, and are shown in Table 6.3H.1.1.4.1-1. The details of the uplink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annexes A.2. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2.

Message contents are defined in clause 6.3H.1.1.4.3. 6.3H.1.1.4.2 Test procedure 1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2 for all downlink physical channels. 2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 5.5.1. Message contents are defined in clause 6.3H.1.1.4.3. 3. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321 [18], clauses 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 38.133[19], clause 9.3). 4. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.3H.1.1.4.1-1 on both PCC and SCC as appropriate. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. The PDCCH DCI format 0_1 is specified with the condition 2TX_UL_MIMO in 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.3.6.1.1.2. 5. Send continuously uplink power control "down" commands for both carriers in every uplink scheduling information to the UE; allow at least 200ms starting from the first TPC command in this step to ensure that the UE transmits at its minimum output power. 6. Measure the sum of mean transmitted power from antenna connectors for each component carrier in the associated measurement channel bandwidth specified in Table 6.3H.1.1.5-1 for the specific channel bandwidth under test.

When a UE signals the transient period capability, the transient period value (tp) can be 2, 4, or 7 μs. If no capability is signalled, the default transient period value of 10 μs applies. In case of RB hopping, and in following figures where tpstart is specified, the transient period is shared symmetrically when the transient period is 10 μs. If the UE signals a transient period (tp) of 2, 4 or 7 μs, the transient period start position is given by tpstart in Table 6.3J.3.0-1. Table 6.3J.3.0-1: tpstart values tp (μs) tpstart (μs) 2 -0.5 4 -1 7 -2.7 NOTE 1: Negative values mean that the transient period starts before the symbol boundary Unless otherwise stated the minimum requirements in clause 6.5J apply also in transient periods. In the following sub-clauses, following definitions apply: - A slot or long subslot transmission is a transmission with more than 2 symbols. - A short subslot transmission is a transmission with 1 or 2 symbols. 6.3J.3.1 6.3J.3.2 Transmit power time mask for slot and short or subslot boundaries for ATG No test case details are specified. Current test procedures for time masks are based on power measurement in relatively long period compared with transient period. For time masks between 2 active time slots with different power level, the test procedure can’t provide enough resolution to identify non-conformant UEs. Therefore, the minimum requirement is not testable. 6.3J.3.3 PRACH time mask for ATG Editor’s note: This clause is incomplete.

Ensure the UE is in state RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR, Connected without release On, Test Mode On and Test Loop Function On according to TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 4.5. Message contents are defined in clause 6.4.1.4.3 6.4.1.4.2 Test procedure 1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 6.4.1.4.1-1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.4.1.4.1-1. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 3. Set the Downlink signal level to the appropriate REFSENS value defined in Table 7.3.2.5-1. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands to the UE in every uplink scheduling information to the UE so that the UE transmits at PUMAX level for the duration of the test. Allow at least 200ms starting from the first TPC command in this step for the UE to reach PUMAX level. 4. Measure the Frequency Error using Global In-Channel Tx-Test (Annex E).

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 - In-band emissions for the non-allocated RB All the parameters defined in subclause 6.4.2 are defined using the measurement methodology specified in Annex E. In case the parameter 3300 or 3301 is reported from UE via txDirectCurrentLocation IE (as defined in TS 38.331 [6]), carrier leakage measurement requirement in subclause 6.4.2.2 and 6.4.2.3 shall be waived, and the RF correction with regard to the carrier leakage and IQ image shall be omitted during the calculation of transmit modulation quality. 6.4.2.1 Error Vector Magnitude 6.4.2.1.1 Test Purpose 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 carrier leakage shall be removed from the measured waveform before calculating the EVM. The measured waveform is further equalised using the channel estimates subjected to the EVM equaliser spectrum flatness requirement specified in sub-clause 6.4.2.4.3. For DFT-s-OFDM waveforms, the EVM result is defined after 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 1038 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI the front-end FFT and IDFT as the square root of the ratio of the mean error vector power to the mean reference power expressed as a %. For CP-OFDM waveforms, the EVM result is defined after the front-end FFT 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 the duration of PUCCH/PUSCH channel, or one hop, if frequency hopping is enabled for PUCCH and PUSCH in the time domain. The EVM measurement interval is reduced by any symbols that contains an allowable power transient as defined in subclause 6.3.3.3. 6.4.2.1.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR Power Class 1 UE release 15 and forward. This test case applies to all types of NR Power Class 2 and Power Class 3 UE release 15 and forward that don't support Tx diversity. 6.4.2.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements 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 modulation schemes shall not exceed the values specified in Table 6.4.2.1.3-1 for the parameters defined in Table 6.4.2.1.3-2. For EVM evaluation purposes, all PRACH preamble formats 0-4 and all 5 PUCCH formats are considered to have the same EVM requirement as QPSK modulated.

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 carrier leakage shall be removed from the measured waveform before calculating the EVM. 6.4.2.1a.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR Power Class 1 UE release 16 and forward that support short transient period capability. This test case applies to all types of NR Power Class 2 and Power Class 3 UE release 16 and forward that support short transient period capability and don’t support Tx diversity.. 6.4.2.1a.3 Minimum conformance requirements In 6.4.2.1, EVM has been defined by excluding the symbols which have a transient period. In this section, measurement interval is defined for the symbols with a transient period to include these symbols in the RMS average EVM computation when the UE reports a transient period capability other than the default. Before calculating the EVM, the measured waveform is corrected for sample timing offset and RF frequency offset. Then the carrier leakage shall be removed from the measured waveform before calculating the EVM. The symbols with transient period should not be used for equalization. Only CP-OFDM waveform is used for conformance testing. In the case of PUSCH or PUCCH transmissions when the mean power, modulation or RB allocation across slot or subslot boundaries is expected to change the EVM result over the symbols where the transient occurs is calculated according to Table 6.4.2.1a.3-1.

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, however, the minimum requirement applies when the in-band emission measurement is averaged over 10 sub-frames. When the PUSCH or PUCCH transmission slot is shortened due to multiplexing with SRS, the in-band emissions measurement interval is reduced by one or more symbols, accordingly. The purpose of this test is to exercise the UE transmitter to verify its modulation quality in terms of in-band emissions. 6.4.2.3.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR Power Class 1 UE release 15 and forward.

For an allocated component carrier, 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; however, the minimum requirement applies when the in-band emission measurement is averaged over 10 sub-frames. When the PUSCH or PUCCH transmission slot is shortened due to multiplexing with SRS, the in-band emissions measurement interval is reduced by one or more symbols, accordingly. For a non-allocated component carrier a spectral measurement is specified. 6.4A.2.3.1.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward that supports 2UL CA. 6.4A.2.3.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements The minimum conformance requirements are defined in clause 6.4A.2.3.0. 6.4A.2.3.1.4 Test description 6.4A.2.3.1.4.1 Initial condition Initial conditions are a set of test configurations the UE needs to be tested in and the steps for the SS to take with the UE to reach the correct measurement state. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 1083 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI The initial test configurations consist of environmental conditions, test frequencies, test channel bandwidths and sub- carrier spacing based on NR CA configuration specified in clause 5.5A.

If UE is scheduled for single antenna-port PUSCH transmission by DCI format 0_0 or by DCI format 0_1 for single antenna port codebook based transmission with precoding matrix W=1 [6.3.1.5 TS 38.211], the requirements in clause 6.4.2 apply when TxD is not indicated, and the requirements in clause 6.4G.2 apply when TxD is indicated. 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 In case the parameter 3300 or 3301 is reported from UE via the parameter txDirectCurrentLocation in UplinkTxDirectCurrentList IE (as defined in TS 38.331 [7]), carrier leakage measurement requirement in clause 6.4D.2.2 and 6.4D.2.3 shall be waived, and the RF correction with regard to the carrier leakage and IQ image shall be omitted during the calculation of transmit modulation quality. 6.4D.2.1 Error Vector Magnitude for UL MIMO Editor’note: - For a transition period until RAN#104 (June 2024) previous test procedure in TS 38.521-1 V18.0.0 is allowed for TE implementation. - Working assumption is that the same MU applies for the new UL MIMO test procedure as for the test procedure in TS 38.521-1 V18.0.0.

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 carrier leakage shall be removed from the measured waveform before calculating the EVM. The measured waveform is further equalised using the channel estimates subjected to the EVM equaliser spectrum flatness requirement specified in sub-clause 6.4D.2.4.3. For DFT-s-OFDM waveforms, the EVM result is defined after the front-end FFT and IDFT as the square root of the ratio of the mean error vector power to the mean reference power expressed as a %. For CP-OFDM waveforms, the EVM result is defined after the front-end FFT 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 the duration of PUSCH channel, or one hop, if frequency hopping is enabled for PUSCH in the time domain. The EVM measurement interval is reduced by any symbols that contains an allowable power transient as defined in subclause 6.3D.3.3. 6.4D.2.1.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR Power Class 1.5, Power Class 2 and Power Class 3 UE release 15 and forward that support 2-layer codebook based UL MIMO. 6.4D.2.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements For UE with two transmit antenna connectors in closed-loop spatial multiplexing scheme, the Error Vector Magnitude requirements specified in Table 6.4.2.1.3-1 apply per layer.

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 - In-band emissions for the non-allocated RB All the parameters defined in subclause 6.4F.2 are defined using the measurement methodology specified in Annex E. In case the parameter 3300 or 3301 is reported from UE via txDirectCurrentLocation IE (as defined in TS 38.331 [6]), carrier leakage measurement requirement in subclause 6.4F.2.2 and 6.4F.2.3 shall be waived, and the RF correction with regard to the carrier leakage and IQ image shall be omitted during the calculation of transmit modulation quality. 6.4F.2.1 Error Vector Magnitude Editor’s Note: This test is incomplete. The following aspects are not yet determined: - MU and TT for > 6GHz (band n96) are TBD 6.4F.2.1.1 Test Purpose 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 carrier leakage shall be removed from the measured waveform before calculating the EVM. The measured waveform is further equalised using the channel estimates subjected to the EVM equaliser spectrum flatness requirement specified in sub-clause 6.4F.2.4.3. For DFT-s-OFDM waveforms, the EVM result is defined after the front-end FFT and IDFT as the square root of the ratio of the mean error vector power to the mean reference power expressed as a %. For CP-OFDM waveforms, the EVM result is defined after the front-end FFT as the square root of the ratio of the mean error vector power to the mean reference power expressed as a %. 6.4F.2.1.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR UE release 16 and forward that support NR standalone shared spectrum channel access. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 1152 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI 6.4F.2.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements The requirements for EVM requirements in clause 6.4.2.1 apply.

Values will be revisited once analysis from other TE vendors is available. 6.4F.2.3.1 Test purpose The purpose of this test is to exercise the UE transmitter to verify its modulation quality in terms of in-band emissions. 6.4F.2.3.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR UE release 16 and forward that support NR standalone shared spectrum channel access. 6.4F.2.3.3 Minimum conformance requirements The in-band emission is defined as the average emission across 12 sub-carriers 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; however, the minimum requirement applies when the in-band emission measurement is averaged over 10 sub-frames. When the PUSCH or PUCCH transmission slot is shortened, the in-band emissions measurement interval is reduced by one or more symbols, accordingly. The requirement applies for power class 5 UE for 20 MHz channel bandwidth and 15 kHz SCS, Instead of the general requirement in clause 6.4.2.3, the average of the basic in-band emission measurement over 10 sub-frames shall not exceed the values specified in Table 6.4F.2.3.3-1.

The following aspects are not yet determined: - MU and TT for frequency > 5.925 GHz is TBD 6.4F.2.4.1 Test purpose The zero-forcing equalizer correction applied in the EVM measurement process (as described in Annex E) must meet a spectral flatness requirement for the EVM measurement to be valid.

The basic measurement interval is the same as for EVM. The EVM equalizer spectrum flatness requirement does not limit the correction applied to the signal in the EVM measurement process but for the EVM result to be valid, the equalizer correction that was applied must meet the EVM equalizer spectrum flatness minimum requirements. 6.4F.2.4.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR UE release 16 and forward that support NR standalone shared spectrum channel access. 6.4F.2.4.3 Minimum conformance requirements The requirements for EVM equalizer spectrum flatness in clause 6.4.2.4 apply.

This notation is in line with ITU-R recommendations such as SM.329-10 and the Radio Regulations [22]. ITU defines: Out-of-band emission = Emission on a frequency or frequencies immediately outside the necessary bandwidth which results from the modulation process but excluding spurious emissions. Spurious emission = Emission on a frequency, or frequencies, which are outside the necessary bandwidth and the level of which may be reduced without affecting the corresponding transmission of information. Spurious emissions include harmonic emissions, parasitic emissions, intermodulation products and frequency conversion products but exclude out- of-band emissions. Unwanted emissions = Consist of spurious emissions and out-of-band emissions. The UE transmitter spectrum emission consists of the three components: the occupied bandwidth (channel bandwidth), the Out Of Band (OOB) emissions and the far out spurious emission domain. Spurious domain RB Channel bandwidth Spurious domain ΔfOOB ΔfOOB NR Band Figure 6.5.0-1: Transmitter RF spectrum 6.5.1 Occupied bandwidth 6.5.1.1 Test purpose To verify that the UE occupied bandwidth for all transmission bandwidth configurations supported by the UE are less than their specific limits. 6.5.1.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR Power Class 1 release 15 and forward. This test case applies to all types of NR Power Class 2 and Power Class 3 UE release 15 and forward that don’t support Tx diversity. 6.5.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements Occupied bandwidth is defined as the bandwidth containing 99 % of the total integrated mean power of the transmitted spectrum on the assigned channel.

Message contents are defined in clause 6.5.1.4.3 6.5.1.4.2 Test procedure 1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.5.1.4.1-1. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 2. Send continuously power control “up” commands to the UE until the UE transmits at PUMAX level. Allow at least 200ms for the UE to reach PUMAX level. 3. Measure the power spectrum distribution within two times or more range over the requirement for Occupied Bandwidth specification centring on the current carrier frequency. The characteristics of the filter shall be approximately Gaussian (typical spectrum analyser filter). Other methods to measure the power spectrum distribution are allowed. The measuring duration is at least 1ms over consecutive active uplink slots. 4. Calculate the total power within the range of all frequencies measured in step 3 and save this value as “Total power”. 5. Identify the measurement window whose centre is aligned on the centre of the channel for which the sum of the power measured is 99% of the “Total power”. 6.

This out of band emission limit is specified in terms of a spectrum emission mask and an adjacent channel leakage power ratio. 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. 6.5.2.2 Spectrum emission mask 6.5.2.2.1 Test purpose To verify that the power of any UE emission shall not exceed specified level for the specified channel bandwidth. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 1202 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI 6.5.2.2.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR Power Class 1 release 15 and forward.

The spurious emission limits are specified in terms of general requirements in line with SM.329 [22] and NR operating band requirement to address UE co-existence. 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. 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. 6.5.3.1 General spurious emissions 6.5.3.1.1 Test purpose To verify that UE transmitter does not cause unacceptable interference to other channels or other systems in terms of transmitter spurious emissions. 6.5.3.1.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR Power Class 1 release 15 and forward.

NOTE 2: As exceptions, measurements with a level up to the applicable requirements defined in Table 6.5.3.1.3-2 are permitted for each assigned NR carrier used in the measurement due to 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th harmonic spurious emissions. Due to spreading of the harmonic emission the exception is also allowed for the first 1 MHz frequency range immediately outside the harmonic emission on both sides of the harmonic emission. This results in an overall exception interval centred at the harmonic emission of (2MHz + N x LCRB x RBSizekHz), where N is 2, 3, 4, [5] for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th [or 5th] harmonic respectively. The exception is allowed if the measurement bandwidth (MBW) totally or partially overlaps the overall exception interval. NOTE 3: 15 kHz SCS is assumed when RB is mentioned in the note when channel bandwidth is less than or equal to 50MHz, lowest SCS is assumed when channel bandwidth is larger than 50MHz. The transmission bandwidth in terms of RB position and range is not limited to 15 kHz SCS and shall scale with SCS accordingly. NOTE 4: Void 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: N/A NOTE 7: Void. NOTE 8: Applicable when co-existence with PHS system operating in 1884.5 -1915.7MHz. NOTE 9: Void NOTE 10: Void NOTE 11: Void NOTE 12: Void NOTE 13: Void. NOTE 14: Void NOTE 15: These requirements also apply for the frequency ranges that are less than FOOB (MHz) in Table 6.5.3.1.3-1 from the edge of the channel bandwidth.

NOTE 20: Void NOTE 21: This requirement is applicable for any channel bandwidths within the range 2500 - 2570 MHz with the following restriction: for carriers of 15 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range 2560.5 - 2562.5 MHz and for carriers of 20 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range 2552 - 2560 MHz the requirement is applicable only for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 54 RB. NOTE 22: This requirement is applicable for power class 3 UE for any channel bandwidths within the range 2570 - 2615 MHz with the following restriction: for carriers of 15 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range 2605.5 - 2607.5 MHz and for carriers of 20 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range 2597 - 2605 MHz the requirement is applicable only for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 54 RB. For power class 2 UE for any channel bandwidths within the range 2570 - 2615 MHz, NS_44 shall apply. For power class 2 or 3 UE for carriers with channel bandwidth overlapping the frequency range 2615 - 2620 MHz the requirement applies with the maximum output power configured to +19 dBm in the IE P-Max. NOTE 23: Void. NOTE 24: As exceptions, measurements with a level up to the applicable requirement of -38 dBm/MHz is permitted for each assigned NR carrier used in the measurement due to 2nd harmonic spurious emissions. An exception is allowed if there is at least one individual RB within the transmission bandwidth (see Figure 5.3.1-1) for which the 2nd harmonic totally or partially overlaps the measurement bandwidth (MBW). NOTE 25: As exceptions, measurements with a level up to the applicable requirement of -36 dBm/MHz is permitted for each assigned NR carrier used in the measurement due to 3rd harmonic spurious emissions. An exception is allowed if there is at least one individual RB within the transmission bandwidth (see Figure 5.3.1-1) for which the 3rd harmonic totally or partially overlaps the measurement bandwidth (MBW). NOTE 26: For these adjacent bands, the emission limit could imply risk of harmful interference to UE(s) operating in the protected operating band. NOTE 27: This requirement is applicable for any channel bandwidths within the range 1920 - 1980 MHz with the following restriction: for carriers of 15 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range 1927.5 - 1929.5 MHz and for carriers of 20 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range 1930 - 1938 MHz the requirement is applicable only for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 54 RB.

This requirement applies for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 54 RB for carriers of 15 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range 1892.5 - 1894.5 MHz and for carriers of 20 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range 1895 - 1903 MHz. NOTE 34: This requirement is applicable for 5 and 10 MHz NR channel bandwidth allocated within 718- 728MHz. For carriers of 10 MHz bandwidth, this requirement applies for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 30 RB with RBstart > 1 and RBstart < 48. NOTE 35: This requirement is applicable in the case of a 10 MHz NR carrier confined within 703 MHz and 733 MHz, otherwise the requirement of -25 dBm with a measurement bandwidth of 8 MHz applies. NOTE 36: Void NOTE 37: Void NOTE 38: Void NOTE 39: Void. NOTE 40: Void NOTE 41: Applicable for cases when the lower edge of the assigned NR UL channel bandwidth frequency is greater than or equal to 1427 MHz + the channel BW assigned for 5 and 10 MHz bandwidth, and when the lower edge of the assigned NR UL channel bandwidth frequency is greater than or equal to 1440 MHz for 15 and 20 MHz bandwidth. This requirement shall be verified with UE transmission power of 15 dBm. NOTE 42: Applicable when upper edge of the assigned NR UL channel bandwidth frequency is more than 1460MHz and more than 1460MHz and less than or equal to 1470MHz for 5 MHz bandwidth, and when the upper edge of the assigned NR UL channel bandwidth frequency is less than or equal to 1465 MHz for10 MHz bandwidth.

NOTE 2: As exceptions, measurements with a level up to the applicable requirements defined in Table 6.5.3.1-2 are permitted for each assigned NR carrier used in the measurement due to 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th harmonic spurious emissions. Due to spreading of the harmonic emission the exception is also allowed for the first 1 MHz frequency range immediately outside the harmonic emission on both sides of the harmonic emission. This results in an overall exception interval centred at the harmonic emission of (2 MHz + N x LCRB x RBSize kHz), where N is 2, 3, 4, 5 for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th harmonic respectively. The exception is allowed if the measurement bandwidth (MBW) totally or partially overlaps the overall exception interval. NOTE 3: 15 kHz SCS is assumed when RB is mentioned in the note when channel bandwidth is less than or equal to 50 MHz, lowest SCS is assumed when channel bandwidth is larger than 50 MHz. The transmission bandwidth in terms of RB position and range is not limited to 15 kHz SCS and shall scale with SCS accordingly. NOTE 4: Void 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: N/A NOTE 7: Void.

NOTE 16: Void NOTE 17: Void NOTE 18: Void NOTE 19: Applicable when the assigned NR carrier is confined within 718 MHz and 748 MHz and when the channel bandwidth used is 5 or 10 MHz. NOTE 20: Void NOTE 21: This requirement is applicable for any channel bandwidths up to 20 MHz within the range 2500 - 2570 MHz with the following restriction: for carriers of 15 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range 2560.5 - 2562.5 MHz and for carriers of 20 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range 2552 - 2560 MHz the requirement is applicable only for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 54 RB. NOTE 22: This requirement is applicable for power class 3 UE for any channel bandwidths up to 20 MHz. For channel bandwidth within the range 2570 - 2615 MHz with the following restriction: for carriers of 15 MHz bandwidth when the carrier centre frequency is within the range 2605.5 - 2607.5 MHz and for carriers of 20 MHz bandwidth when the carrier centre frequency is within the range 2597 - 2605 MHz the requirement is applicable only for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 54 RB. For carriers overlapping the frequency range 2615 - 2620 MHz the requirement applies with the maximum output power configured to +19 dBm in the IE P-Max. NOTE 23: Void. NOTE 24: As exceptions, measurements with a level up to the applicable requirement of -38 dBm/MHz is permitted for each assigned NR carrier used in the measurement due to 2nd harmonic spurious emissions. An exception is allowed if there is at least one individual RB within the transmission bandwidth (see Figure 5.3.1-1) for which the 2nd harmonic totally or partially overlaps the measurement bandwidth (MBW). 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 1233 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI NOTE 25: As exceptions, measurements with a level up to the applicable requirement of -36 dBm/MHz is permitted for each assigned NR carrier used in the measurement due to 3rd harmonic spurious emissions. An exception is allowed if there is at least one individual RB within the transmission bandwidth (see Figure 5.3.1-1) for which the 3rd harmonic totally or partially overlaps the measurement bandwidth (MBW). NOTE 26: For these adjacent bands, the emission limit could imply risk of harmful interference to UE(s) operating in the protected operating band. NOTE 27: This requirement is applicable for channel bandwidths up to 20 MHz within the range 1920 - 1980 MHz with the following restriction: for carriers of 15 MHz bandwidth when the carrier centre frequency is within the range 1927.5 - 1929.5 MHz and for carriers of 20 MHz bandwidth when the carrier centre frequency is within the range 1930 - 1938 MHz the requirement is applicable only for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 54 RB.

NOTE 34: This requirement is applicable for 5 and 10 MHz NR channel bandwidth allocated within 718-728 MHz. For carriers of 10 MHz bandwidth, this requirement applies for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 30 RB with RBstart > 1 and RBstart < 48. NOTE 35: This requirement is applicable in the case of a 10 MHz NR carrier confined within 703 MHz and 733 MHz, otherwise the requirement of -25 dBm with a measurement bandwidth of 8 MHz applies. NOTE 36: Void NOTE 37: Void NOTE 38: Void NOTE 39: Void. NOTE 40: Void NOTE 41: Applicable for cases and when the lower edge of the assigned NR UL channel bandwidth frequency is greater than or equal to 1427 MHz + the channel BW assigned for 5 and 10 MHz bandwidth, and when the lower edge of the assigned NR UL channel bandwidth frequency is greater than or equal to 1440 MHz for 15 and 20 MHz bandwidth. This requirement shall be verified with UE transmission power configured as high as possible but no higher than 15 dBm. NOTE 42: Applicable when upper edge of the assigned NR UL channel bandwidth frequency is more than 1460 MHz and less than or equal to 1470 MHz for 5 MHz bandwidth, and when the upper edge of the assigned NR UL channel bandwidth frequency is more than 1460 MHz and less than or equal to 1465 MHz for 10 MHz bandwidth.

NOTE 22: This requirement is applicable for power class 3 UE for any channel bandwidths up to 20 MHz. For channel bandwidth within the range 2570 - 2615 MHz with the following restriction: for carriers of 15 MHz bandwidth when the carrier centre frequency is within the range 2605.5 - 2607.5 MHz and for carriers of 20 MHz bandwidth when the carrier centre frequency is within the range 2597 - 2605 MHz the requirement is applicable only for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 54 RB. For carriers overlapping the frequency range 2615 - 2620 MHz the requirement applies with the maximum output power configured to +19 dBm in the IE P-Max. NOTE 23: Void NOTE 24: As exceptions, measurements with a level up to the applicable requirement of -38 dBm/MHz is permitted for each assigned NR carrier used in the measurement due to 2nd harmonic spurious emissions. An exception is allowed if there is at least one individual RB within the transmission bandwidth (see Figure 5.3.1-1) for which the 2nd harmonic totally or partially overlaps the measurement bandwidth (MBW). NOTE 25: As exceptions, measurements with a level up to the applicable requirement of -36 dBm/MHz is permitted for each assigned NR carrier used in the measurement due to 3rd harmonic spurious emissions. An exception is allowed if there is at least one individual RB within the transmission bandwidth (see Figure 5.3.1-1) for which the 3rd harmonic totally or partially overlaps the measurement bandwidth (MBW). NOTE 26: For these adjacent bands, the emission limit could imply risk of harmful interference to UE(s) operating in the protected operating band.

Due to spreading of the harmonic emission the exception is also allowed for the first 1 MHz frequency range immediately outside the harmonic emission on both sides of the harmonic emission. This results in an overall exception interval centred at the harmonic emission of (2 MHz + N x LCRB x RBsize kHz), where N is 2, 3, 4, 5 for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th harmonic respectively. The exception is allowed if the measurement bandwidth (MBW) totally or partially overlaps the overall exception interval.

This test case applies to all types of NR Power Class 2 and Power Class 3 UE release 15 and forward that don’t support Tx diversity. 6.5.4.3 Minimum conformance requirements UE transmit intermodulation 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 transmitter antenna port with the other antenna port(s) if any terminated. Both the wanted signal power and the intermodulation product power are measured through NR rectangular filter with measurement bandwidth shown in Table 6.5.4.3-1.

For intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation, the power of any UE emission shall not exceed the levels specified in Table 6.5A.2.2.0-1 for the specified channel bandwidth. For power class 2 intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation, the spectrum emission mask is measured as the sum from both UE transmit antenna connectors when UE indicates support for dualPA-Architecture IE. Table 6.5A.2.2.0-1: General NR CA spectrum emission mask ΔfOOB (MHz) Spectrum emission limit(dBm) MBW(MHz) ± 0 - 1 -13 Min(0.01*BWchannel_CA, 0.4) ± 1 - 5 -10 1MHz ± 5 – BWchannel_CA -13 1MHz ±BWchannel_CA- BWchannel_CA+5 -25 1MHz For intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation the spectrum emission mask requirement is defined as a composite spectrum emissions mask. Composite spectrum emission mask applies to frequencies up to ΔfOOB starting from the edges of the sub-blocks. Composite spectrum emission mask is defined as follows: a) Composite spectrum emission mask is a combination of individual sub-block spectrum emissions masks b) In case the sub-block consist of one component carrier the sub-lock general spectrum emission mask is defined in subclause 6.5.2.2 c) If for some frequency sub-block spectrum emission masks overlap then spectrum emission mask allowing higher power spectral density applies for that frequency d) If for some frequency a sub-block spectrum emission mask overlaps with the sub-block bandwidth of another sub-block, then the emission mask does not apply for that frequency. When signalling for dualPA-Architecture IE is absent, carrier leakage or I/Q image may land inside the gap spectrum between 2 UL CCs when UL CCs are synchronized with frequencies in the gap. For inter-band carrier aggregation with uplink assigned to two NR bands, the minimum conformance requirements specified in subclause 6.5.2.2 shall apply on each component carrier with all component carriers active. If for some frequency spectrum emission masks of component carriers overlap then spectrum emission mask allowing higher power spectral density applies for that frequency. If for some frequency a component carrier spectrum emission mask overlaps with the channel bandwidth of another component carrier, then the emission mask does not apply for that frequency. 6.5A.2.2.1 Spectrum emission mask for CA (2UL CA) 6.5A.2.2.1.1 Test purpose To verify that the power of any UE emission shall not exceed specified level for the specified channel bandwidth for 2UL CA. 6.5A.2.2.1.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward that supports 2UL CA. 6.5A.2.2.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements The minimum conformance requirements are defined in subclause6.5A.2.2.0. 6.5A.2.2.1.4 Test description 6.5A.2.2.1.4.1 Initial conditions Initial conditions are a set of test configurations the UE needs to be tested in and the steps for the SS to take with the UE to reach the correct measurement state. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 1286 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI The initial test configurations consist of environmental conditions, test frequencies, test channel bandwidths and sub- carrier spacing based on NR CA configuration specified in clause 5.5A.

If for some frequency a spurious emission requirement of individual component carrier overlaps with the spectrum emission mask or channel bandwidth of another component carrier then it does not apply. NOTE 1: For inter-band carrier aggregation with uplink assigned to two NR bands the requirements in Table 6.5.3.1.3-2 could be verified by measuring spurious emissions at the specific frequencies where second and third order intermodulation products generated by the two transmitted carriers can occur; in that case, the requirements for remaining applicable frequencies in Table 6.5.3.1.3-2 would be considered to be verified by the measurements verifying the one uplink inter-band CA spurious emission requirement. For intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation the spurious emission limits apply for the frequency ranges that are more than FOOB (MHz) in Table 6.5A.3.1.0-1 from the edge of the aggregated channel bandwidth. For frequencies ΔfOOB greater than FOOB as specified in Table 6.5A.3.1.0-1 the spurious emission requirements in Table 6.5.3.1.3-2 are applicable. For power class 2 intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation, the spurious emissions is measured as the sum from both UE transmit antenna connectors when UE indicates support for dualPA-Architecture IE.

For combinations of intra-band and inter-band carrier aggregation with three uplink component carriers (up to two contiguously aggregated carriers per operating band), the spurious emission requirement is defined as follows. For the NR band supporting one component carrier the requirements in Table 6.5.3.1.3-2 apply for frequency ranges that are more than FOOB (MHz) from the edges of assigned channel bandwidth as defined in Table 6.5.3.1.3-1. For the NR band supporting two contiguous component carriers the requirements in Table 6.5.3.1-2 apply for frequency ranges that are more than FOOB (MHz) from the edges of assigned aggregated channel bandwidth as defined in Table 6.5A.3.1.3- 1. If for some frequency a spurious emission requirement of a single component carrier or two contiguous component carriers overlap with the spurious emission requirement or channel bandwidth of another component carrier or two contiguously aggregated carriers then it does not apply. The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-1 [2] subclause 6.5A.3.1 6.5A.3.1.1 General spurious emissions for CA (2UL CA) 6.5A.3.1.1.1 Test purpose To verify that UE transmitter does not cause unacceptable interference to other channels or other systems in terms of transmitter spurious emissions. 6.5A.3.1.1.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward that supports 2UL CA. 6.5A.3.1.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements The minimum conformance requirements are defined in subclause 6.5A.3.1.0. 6.5A.3.1.1.4 Test description 6.5A.3.1.1.4.1 Initial conditions Initial conditions are a set of test configurations the UE needs to be tested in and the steps for the SS to take with the UE to reach the correct measurement state.

Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 38.508-1 [5] Annex A, in Figure A.3.1.1.3 for TE diagram and section A.3.2 for UE diagram. 2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.4.3. 3. Downlink signals for PCC are initially set up according to Annex C.0, C.1 and C.2, and uplink signals according to Annex G.0, G.1, G.2, G.3.0. 4. The UL Reference Measurement channels are set according to Tables 6.5A.3.1.1.4.1-1, 6.5A.3.1.1.4.1-2 and 6.5A.3.1.1.4.1-3 as appropriate. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 1303 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI 5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0. 6. Ensure the UE is in state RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR, Connected without release On, Test Mode On and Test Loop Function On according to TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 4.5. Message contents are defined in clause 6.5A.3.1.1.4.3. 6.5A.3.1.1.4.2 Test procedure 1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2 for all downlink physical channels. 2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 5.1.1. Message contents are defined in clause 6.5A.3.1.1.4.3. 3. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321 [18], clauses 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 38.133[19], clause9.3). 4. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Tables 6.5A.3.1.1.4.1-1, 6.5A.3.1.1.4.1-2 and 6.5A.3.1.1.4.1-3 as appropriate on both PCC and SCC. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 5. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE until the UE transmits at PUMAX level. 6. Measure the power of the transmitted signal with a measurement filter of bandwidths according to Table 6.5A.3.1.1.5-1 for inter-band CA, table 6.5A.3.1.1.5-3 for intra-band contiguous CA and intra-band non- contiguous CA. The centre frequency of the filter shall be stepped in contiguous steps according to Table 6.5A.3.1.1.5-1 for inter-band CA, table 6.5A.3.1.1.5-3 for intra-band contiguous CA and intra-band non- contiguous CA. The measured power shall be verified for each step. The measurement period shall capture the active time slots. During measurement the spectrum analyser shall be set to 'Detector' = RMS. If the sweep count is higher than one, the trace mode shall be average. For power class 2 intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation, the spurious emissions is measured as the sum from both UE transmit antenna connectors when UE indicates support for dualPA-Architecture IE. 6.5A.3.1.1.4.3 Message contents Message contents are according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.6 with following exception.

The test requirement of configurations for CA operating band including Band n41 also apply for the corresponding CA operating bands with Band n90 replacing Band n41. For inter-band CA, the spurious emission limits apply for the frequency ranges that are more than ΔfOOB (MHz) in Table 6.5.3.1.3-1 from the edge of the channel bandwidth. If for some frequency a spurious emission requirement of individual component carrier overlaps with the spectrum emission mask or channel bandwidth of another component carrier, then it does not apply. For intra-band contiguous CA, the spurious emission limits apply for the frequency ranges that are more than ΔfOOB (MHz) in Table 6.5A.3.1.0-1 from the edge of the aggregated channel bandwidth. For intra-band non-contiguous CA, the spurious emission limits apply to frequency ranges that are more than FOOB in Table 6.5.3.1.3-1 away from the edges of each carrier in the gap and out of the gap. The measured average power of spurious emission, derived in step 6, shall not exceed the described value in Table 6.5A.3.1.1.5-1 for inter-band UL CA configuration and Table 6.5A.3.1.1.5-3 for intra-band contiguous UL CA and intra-band non-contiguous configuration.

Intersection of a requirement means that both UL constituent bands have the same protected band requirement specified and if one or both protected bands have note(s) associated those note(s) also apply. For inter-band carrier aggregation with two contiguous carriers assigned to one NR band, the requirements in subclause 6.5A.3.2.0.1 apply for that band. For inter-band carrier aggregation with two uplink non-contiguous carrier assigned to one NR band, the spurious emissions for UE co-existence requirements in subclause 6.5A.3.2.0.2a apply for that band. For inter-band carrier aggregation with the uplink assigned to two NR bands, the requirements in Table 6.5A.3.2.0.3-1 to 6.5A.3.2.0.3-4 apply on each component carrier with all component carriers are active. NOTE: For inter-band carrier aggregation with single CC uplink assigned to two NR bands, the requirements in Tables 6.5A.3.2.0.3-1 to 6.5A.3.2.0.3-4 could be verified by measuring spurious emissions at the specific frequencies where second and third order intermodulation products generated by the two transmitted carriers can occur; in that case, the requirements for remaining applicable frequencies in Tables 6.5A.3.2.0.3-1 to Table 6.5A.3.2.0.3-4 and in clause 6.5.3.2 would be considered to be verified by the measurements verifying the one uplink inter-band CA UE to UE co-existence requirements.

This out of band emission limit is specified in terms of a spectrum emission mask and an adjacent channel leakage power ratio. 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. 6.5F.2.2 Spectrum emission mask for operation with shared spectrum channel access Editor’s Note: This test is incomplete. The following aspects are not yet determined: - No test points are defined since there is no configuration satisfying MPR=0dB requirements in RAN4. Testing with 1.5dB MPR has been covered in [6.2F.2]. - MU and TT for >6GHz (band n96) are working assumption based on analysis of single TE vendor. Values will be revisited once analysis from other TE vendors is available. The spectrum emission mask of the UE applies to frequencies (ΔfOOB) starting from the ± edge of the assigned NR channel bandwidth. For frequencies offset greater than ΔfOOB, the spurious requirements in subclause 6.5.3 are applicable. 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. 6.5F.2.2.1 Test purpose To verify that the power of any UE emission shall not exceed specified level for the specified channel bandwidth when UE is operating with shared spectrum channel access. 6.5F.2.2.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR UE release 16 and forward that support NR standalone shared spectrum channel access. 6.5F.2.2.3 Minimum conformance requirements Instead of the general spectrum emission mask requirement in clause 6.5.2.2, when operating with shared spectrum channel access the relative power of any UE emission shall not exceed the levels specified in Table 6.5F.2.2.3-1 for the specified channel bandwidth or -30 dBm/MHz whichever is the greatest. The spectrum emission mask for operation with shared spectrum channel access is defined relative to the maximum power density in a 1 MHz measurement bandwidth within the channel bandwidth. The spectrum emission mask for operation with shared spectrum channel access applies to frequencies (ΔfOOB) starting from the ± edge of the assigned channel bandwidth. For frequencies offset greater than ΔfOOB, the spurious requirements in clause 6.5.3 are applicable.

If txDirectCurrentLocation is not available or is reported with value 3300 or 3301, a carrier frequency location at the centre of the channel shall be assumed. 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. 6.5F.2.2.3.1 Spectrum emission mask for non-transmitted channels In the case of non-transmitted 20 MHz channel(s) on the edges of an assigned channel bandwidth the spectrum emission mask for operation with shared spectrum channel access, specified in Table 6.5F.2.2.3-1, is applied by using the total bandwidth of the remaining transmitted channels. The spectrum emission mask for non-transmitted channels is floored at -28dBr. The relative power of any UE emission shall not exceed the most stringent levels given by the spectrum emission mask for operation with shared spectrum channel access with full channel bandwidth and the spectrum emission mask for non-transmitted channels with the channel bandwidth of the transmitted channels in the case of non-transmitted channels at the edge of an assigned channel bandwidth. An exception to the spectrum emission mask for non-transmitted channels allows a single [2] MHz bandwidth to extend to [-28] dBc relative to total transmit power, or [-20] dBm, whichever is the greatest.

This notation is in line with ITU-R recommendations such as SM.329-10 and the Radio Regulations [22]. ITU defines: Out-of-band emission = Emission on a frequency or frequencies immediately outside the necessary bandwidth which results from the modulation process but excluding spurious emissions. Spurious emission = Emission on a frequency, or frequencies, which are outside the necessary bandwidth and the level of which may be reduced without affecting the corresponding transmission of information. Spurious emissions include harmonic emissions, parasitic emissions, intermodulation products and frequency conversion products but exclude out- of-band emissions. Unwanted emissions = Consist of spurious emissions and out-of-band emissions. The UE transmitter spectrum emission consists of the three components: the occupied bandwidth (channel bandwidth), the Out Of Band (OOB) emissions and the far out spurious emission domain.

This out of band emission limit is specified in terms of a spectrum emission mask and an adjacent channel leakage power ratio. 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. 6.5J.2.2 Spectrum emission mask for ATG Editor’s note: This clause is incomplete.

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. 6.5J.3 Spurious emissions for ATG 6.5J.3.0 General 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 unless otherwise stated. The spurious emission limits are specified in terms of general requirements in line with SM.329 [22] and NR operating band requirement to address UE co-existence. 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. 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. 6.5J.3.1 General spurious emissions for ATG Editor’s Note: This test is incomplete.

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 clauses below. Unless otherwise stated, Channel Bandwidth shall be prioritized in the selecting of test points. Subcarrier spacing shall be selected after Test Channel Bandwidth is selected. The applicability of receiver requirements for Band n90 is in accordance with that for Band n41; a UE supporting Band n90 shall meet the minimum requirements for Band n41. With the exception of clause 7.3, the requirements shall be verified with the network signalling value NS_01 configured (Table 6.2.3.3-1). 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 A.3.3, and using the set-up specified in Annex C.3.1. The minimum requirements specified in clauses 7.5, 7.6, 7.7 and 7.8 for NR band n48 refer to the minimum requirements for NR bands < 2.7 GHz. For the additional requirements for intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation of two or more sub-blocks, an in-gap test refers to the case when the interfering signal is located at a negative offset with respect to the assigned lowest channel frequency of the highest sub-block and located at a positive offset with respect to the assigned highest channel frequency of the lowest sub-block. For the additional requirements for intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation of two or more sub-blocks, an out-of- gap test refers to the case when the interfering signal(s) is (are) located at a positive offset with respect to the assigned channel frequency of the highest carrier frequency or located at a negative offset with respect to the assigned channel frequency of the lowest carrier frequency. For the additional requirements for intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation of two or more sub-blocks with channel bandwidth larger than or equal to 5 MHz, the existing adjacent channel selectivity requirements, in-band blocking requirements (for each case), and narrow band blocking requirements apply for in-gap tests only if the corresponding interferer frequency offsets with respect to the two measured carriers satisfy the following condition in relation to the sub-block gap size Wgap for at least one of these carriers j = 1,2, so that the interferer frequency position does not change the nature of the core requirement tested: Wgap ≥ 2∙|FInterferer (offset),j| – BWChannel(j) where FInterferer (offset),j for a sub-block with a single component carrier is the interferer frequency offset with respect to carrier j as specified in clause 7.5, clause 7.6.2 and clause 7.6.4 for the respective requirement and BWChannel(j) the channel bandwidth of carrier j. FInterferer (offset),j for a sub-block with two or more contiguous component carriers is the interference frequency offset with respect to the carrier adjacent to the gap is specified in clause 7.5A, 7.6A.2 and 7.6A.3. The interferer frequency offsets for adjacent channel selectivity, each in-band blocking case and narrow- band blocking shall be tested separately with a single in-gap interferer at a time. For the additional requirements for operation with shared spectrum channel access, the receiver requirements apply under the assumption that all 20 MHz sub-bands and all RBs of each sub-band within the downlink channel are allocated with intra-cell guard bands configured to zero. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 1540 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI During the test procedure to ensure the UE output power for the receiver requirements other than UL MIMO (suffix D), Tx Diversity, the UE output power shall be measured on a single UL antenna connector for each configured UL band. In case of UL CA or NR-DC (suffix A, suffix B) the UE output power shall be measured on a single UL antenna connector for each UL band. In case the UE supports dualPA-Architecture according to the corresponding IE, the UE output power is measured on the corresponding antenna connector for each carrier. Unless otherwise stated, the receiver requirements of inter-band UL CA are applicable to UE with one Tx antenna connector in each of the two bands, or UE with one Tx antenna connector in one band and two Tx antenna connectors in the other band. 7.1A General The minimum requirements for band combinations including Band n41 also apply for the corresponding band combinations with Band n90 replacing Band n41 but with otherwise identical parameters. For brevity the said band combinations with Band n90 are not listed in the tables below but are covered by this specification. The minimum requirements specified in clauses 7.5A, 7.6A, 7.7A and 7.8A for NR band n48 refer to the minimum requirements for NR bands < 2.7 GHz. 7.1I General For a (e)Redcap UE the requirements in Section 7 shall be verified with the channel bandwidth up to 20MHz and REFSENS specified in clause 7.3I. 7.1J General for ATG Unless otherwise stated, the receiver characteristics are specified at the antenna connector(s) of the ATG UE with one or multiple omni-directional antenna(s) or at the transceiver array boundary (TAB) connectors of the ATG UE with the antenna array. The definition about transceiver array boundary (TAB) is specified in clause 4.3.2 of TS 38.104 [27]. For ATG UE with multiple omni-directional antennas not indicating the capability antennaArrayType-r18, the receiver RF requirements are defined on top of each antenna connector. For ATG UE with antenna array indicating the capability antennaArrayType-r18, the receiver RF requirements are defined on top of each TAB connector. 7.2 Diversity characteristics The UE is required to be equipped with a minimum of two Rx antenna ports in all operating bands except for the bands n7, n38, n41, n77, n78, n79, n104 where the UE is required to be equipped with a minimum of four Rx antenna ports. An exception is allowed for two Rx vehicular UE to be equipped with a minimum of two Rx antenna ports in bands n7, n38, n41, n77, n78, n79. This requirement applies when the band is used as a standalone band or as part of a band combination. For the single carrier REFSENS requirements in clause 7, the UE shall be verified with two Rx antenna ports in all supported frequency bands, additional requirements for four Rx ports shall be verified in operating bands where the UE is equipped with four Rx antenna ports, and additional requirements for four and eight Rx ports shall be verified in operating bands where the UE is equipped with eight Rx antenna ports. For Rx requirements other than single carrier REFSENS in Clause 7, the UE shall be verified with four Rx antenna ports and skip two Rx antenna ports requirements in operating bands where the UE is equipped with four Rx antenna ports, the UE shall be verified with eight Rx antenna ports and skip both two and four Rx antenna ports requirements in operating bands where the UE is equipped with eight Rx antenna ports unless the UE does not support eight Rx ports for band(s) in a band combination in which case those band(s) shall be verified with four Rx antenna ports, otherwise, the UE shall be verified with two Rx antenna ports. The above rules apply for all subclasses with the exception of clause 7.9. A (e)RedCap UE is required to be equipped with a minimum of single Rx antenna port and maximum of two Rx antenna ports. Clause 7 requirements for four Rx antenna ports do not apply to a (e)RedCap UE. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 1541 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI 7.2J Diversity characteristics for ATG The ATG UE is required to be equipped with a minimum of two Rx antenna ports in all operating bands. ATG UE is required optionally to be equipped with four Rx antenna ports. 7.3 Reference sensitivity 7.3.1 General The reference sensitivity power level REFSENS is the minimum mean power applied to each one of the UE antenna ports for all UE categories, at which the throughput shall meet or exceed the requirements for the specified reference measurement channel. In later clauses of Clause 7 where the value of REFSENS is used as a reference to set the corresponding requirement: - when the UE is verified with 2 Rx antenna ports, it shall be verified against those requirements by applying the REFSENS value in Table 7.3.2.3-1a, Table 7.3.2.3-1b and Table 7.3.2.3-1c or Table 7.3.2.3-1d with 2 Rx antenna ports tested; - when the UE is verified with 4 Rx antenna ports, it shall be verified against those requirements by applying the resulting REFSENS value derived from the requirement in Table 7.3.2.3-2 with 4 Rx antenna ports tested. - when the UE is verified with 8 Rx antenna ports, it shall be verified against those requirements by applying the resulting REFSENS value derived from the requirement in Table 7.3.2-2a with 8 Rx antenna ports tested. 7.3.2 Reference sensitivity power level Editor’s note: The following aspects are either missing or not yet determined: - MU and TT for >6GHz are working assumption based on analysis of single TE vendor.

SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.3.2.4.1-1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Tables 7.3.2.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 3. Set the Downlink signal level to the appropriate REFSENS value defined in Table 7.3.2.5-1 if 2Rx antennas connected or Table 7.3.2.5-2 if 4Rx antennas connected. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE to ensure the UE transmits PUMAX level for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement. 4.

The reference sensitivity degradation for the victim band due to cross band isolation is specified only for the specific uplink and downlink test points specified in Table 7.3A.0.6-1 for either PC3 and PC2 NR CA from a PC3 aggressor NR UL band, and for PC2 NR CA, in Table 7.3A.0.6-3a from a PC2 aggressor NR UL band, and in Table 7.3A.0.6-3b from a PC1.5 aggressor NR single band uplink. In Tables 7.3A.0.6-1, 7.3A.0.6-3a and 7.3A.0.6-3b the following terminology is used to define the source of cross-band isolation interference: - "ACLR1" indicates that the first adjacent channel of the aggressor UL band falls into the Rx channel of victim band. - "ACLR2" indicates that the second adjacent channel of the aggressor UL band falls into the Rx channel of victim band. - ">ACLR2" indicates that neither the first, nor the second adjacent channel of the aggressor UL band falls into the Rx channel of victim band.

For aggregation of two downlink FDD carriers with one uplink carrier the reference sensitivity is defined only for the specific uplink and downlink test points which are specified in Table 7.3A.0.2.2-1. The requirements apply with all downlink carriers active. Unless given by Table 7.3.2.3-4, the reference sensitivity requirements shall be verified with the network signalling value NS_01 (Table 6.2.3.1-1) configured. For band combinations including operating bands without uplink band (as noted in Table 5.2-1), the requirements are specified in Table 7.3A.1.5-1 and for any band with uplink the uplink configuration specified in Table 7.3.2.4.1-2. The throughput of each carrier shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels, as specified in Annexes A.2.2, A.2.3, A.3.2, and A.3.3 (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). The reference sensitivity is defined to be met with all downlink component carriers active and one of the uplink carriers active. 7.3A.1_1 Reference sensitivity power level for 2DL CA exceptions Editor’s Note: The following aspects are either missing or not yet determined: - Test point analysis for CA_n3A-n5A harmonic mixing is currently missing in TR 38.905.

RB DFT- s- OFDM QPSK REFSENS_CA_ 3 REFSENS_CA_ 3 Note 1: CA Configuration Test CC Combination test settings are checked separately for each CA Configuration. Note 2: REFSENS refers to the PCC bands and PCC NRB ‘s single carrier Uplink RB allocation for reference sensitivity according to Table 7.3.2.4.1-3. REFSENS_CA_3 refers to the Uplink RB allocation for reference sensitivity exceptions due to intermodulation interference of 3DL/2UL according to Table 7.3A.0.5-2 for PC3. Note 3: In a band where UE supports 4Rx but not supports 8Rx, the test needs to be performed only with 4Rx antennas connected. In a band where UE supports 8Rx, the test needs to be performed only with 8Rx antennas connected. Note 4: This step can be skipped for PC2 since no corresponding exceptions are defined for PC2 cases in Table 7.3A.0.5-2a. Note 5: This test ID is for UL PC2 only. 1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 38.508-1 [5] Annex A, Figure A.3.1.1.3 for TE diagram and section A.3.2 for UE diagram. 2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.4.3. 3. Downlink signals for PCC are initially set up according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2, and C.3.1, and uplink signals according to Annex G.0, G.1, G.2, and G.3.1. 4. The UL and Reference Measurement Channel is set according to Tables 7.3A.2_1.4.1-1. 5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0. 6. Ensure the UE is in State RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR, Connected without release On, Test Mode On and Test Loop Function On according to TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 4.5. Message contents are defined in clause 7.3A.1_1.4.3. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 1659 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI 7.3A.2_1.4.2 Test procedure 1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2 for all downlink physical channels. 2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 5.5.1. Message contents are defined in clause 7.3A.1_1.4.3. 3. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321 [18], clauses 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 38.133[19], clause 9.3). 4. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Tables 7.3A.2_1.4.1-1on PCC and SCCs. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC 5. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.2A.1.1.4.1-1 on both PCC and SCC. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 6. Set the Downlink signal level to the appropriate REFSENS value defined in Table 7.3A.2_1.5-1 for PC3 CA. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE to ensure the UE transmits PUMAX level for at least the duration of the throughput measurement. Allow at least 200ms starting from the first TPC command in this step for the UE to reach PUMAX level. 7. Measure the average throughput for each component carrier for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A. 7.3A.2_1.4.3 Message contents Message contents are according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.6 Table 4.6.3-118 with condition TRANSFORM_PRECODER_ENABLED and following exception: For test points with “REFSENS_CA_3” UL configuration in table 7.3A.2_1.4.1-1, message exception in table 7.3A.1_1.4.3-1 applies. 7.3A.2_1.5 Test requirement For inter-band carrier aggregation the throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annex A.2.2 ans A.2.3 with parameters specified in Table 7.3A.2_1.5-1 for PC3 and Table 7.3A.2_1.5-1a for PC2. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18

The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.4.3. 3. Downlink signals for PCC are initially set up according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2, and C.3.1, and uplink signals according to Annex G.0, G.1, G.2, and G.3.1. 4. The UL and Reference Measurement Channel is set according to Table 7.3A.3.4.1-1. 5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0. 6. Ensure the UE is in State RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR, Connected without release On, Test Mode On and Test Loop Function On according to TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 4.5.

Configure SCCs according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2 for all downlink physical channels. 2. The SS shall configure SCCs as per TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 5.5.1. Message contents are defined in clause 7.3A.3.1.4.3. 3. SS activates SCCs by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321 [18], clauses 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 38.133[19], clause 9.3). 4. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1-1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.3A.3.4.1-1 on both PCC and SCC. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC 5. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.3A.3.4.1-1 on PCC. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 6. Set the Downlink signal level to the appropriate REFSENS value defined in Tables 7.3.2.5-1 and 7.3.2.5-2 as appropriate. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE to ensure the UE transmits PUMAX level for at least the duration of the throughput measurement. Allow at least 200ms starting from the first TPC command in this step for the UE to reach PUMAX level. 7. Measure the average throughput for each component carrier for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A. 7.3A.3.4.3 Message contents Message contents are according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.6 Table 4.6.3-118 with condition TRANSFORM_PRECODER_ENABLED. 7.3A.3.5 Test requirement For 4DL carrier aggregation, test parameters are specified in table 7.3A.3.4.1-1.

The UL and DL Reference Measurement Channel shall be set according to Table 7.3C.2.4.1-1 or 7.3C.2.4.1-2. 5. The UL Reference Measurement Channel shall be set according to Table 7.3C.2.4.1-1for REFSENS without exceptions and Table 7.3C.2.4.1-2 when testing is performed with SUL/DL band combination listed in Table 7.3C.0.2-2 for exceptions due to harmonic issue. 5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0. 6. Ensure the UE is in State RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR, Connected without release On, Test Mode On and Test Loop Function On according to TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 4.5. Message contents are defined in clause 7.3C.2.4.3 7.3C.2.4.2 Test procedure 1 SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.3C.2.4.1-1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC on SUL band according to Tables 7.3C.2.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 3. Set the Downlink signal level to the appropriate REFSENS value defined in Table 7.3C.2.5-1a and Table 7.3C.2.5-1b for 2Rx and table 7.3C.2.5-2 for 4Rx and Table 7.3C.2.5-3 for 8Rx. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE to ensure the UE transmits PUMAX level for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement. 4. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2. 5. For configurations listed in table 7.3C.2.4.1-2, repeat step 1-4 with table 7.3C.2.4.1-2 replacing table 7.3C.2.4.1- 1 in step1 and step 2, table 7.3C.2.5.1-1 replacing 7.3C.2.5-1 and table 7.3C.2.5-2 in step 3. 7.3C.2.4.3 Message contents Message contents are according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.3.6.1.1.2 ensuring UL/SUL indicator in Table 4.3.6.1.1.2-1 with condition SUL, subclause 4.6 ensuring Tables 4.6.1-28 with condition SUL AND (RF OR RRM), 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 1678 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI 4.6.3-14 with condition SUL_SUL for SUL carrier, and Table 4.6.3-167 with condition PUSCH_PUCCH_ON_SUL, additionally the following exception shown in Table 7.3C.2.4.3-1 is considered.

For UE supporting IE supportOfERedCap-r18 but not supporting eRedCapNotReducedBB-BW-r18, the reference sensitivity requirements for 5 MHz channel bandwidth with 15 kHz SCS defined in clause 7.3I.2 apply. These reference sensitivity requirements for 5 MHz channel bandwidth apply also for 10, 15 and 20 MHz channel bandwidths with 15 kHz SCS. In case the reference sensitivity requirements for 5 MHz channel bandwidth are not defined, the reference sensitivity requirements for 10 MHz channel bandwidth apply with the reference sensitivity level reduced by 3.2 dB, and the UL configuration shall be less than or equal to minimum between RB number specified in Table 7.3I.2-4 and 25 RBs for HD-FDD operation, and minimum between RB number specified in Table 7.3.2-3 and 25RBs otherwise. These reference sensitivity requirements for 10 MHz channel bandwidth apply also for 15 and 20 MHz channel bandwidths. Both Tx RBs in UL configuration and Rx RBs in FRC, when applicable, shall be allocated within the range from RBlow = ceil(NRB/2 - NRB_PR3/2) to RBhigh = RBlow + NRB_PR3 -1, where RBlow and RBhigh are the lowest and highest available RB position and NRB_PR3 is 25 RBs for 15 kHz SCS. For UE supporting IE supportOfERedCap-r18 but not supporting eRedCapNotReducedBB-BW-r18, for 30 kHz SCS, the reference sensitivity requirements defined for 10 MHz channel bandwidth in clause 7.3I.2 apply with reference sensitivity level reduced by 3.0 dB and the UL configuration shall be less than or equal to minimum between RB number specified in Table 7.3I.2-4 and 12 RBs for HD-FDD operation, and minimum between RB number specified in Table 7.3.2-3 and 12RBs otherwise. These reference sensitivity requirements for 10 MHz channel bandwidth apply also for 15 and 20 MHz channel bandwidths with 30 kHz SCS. Both Tx RBs in UL configuration and Rx RBs in FRC, when applicable, shall be allocated within the range from RBlow = ceil(NRB/2 - NRB_PR3/2) to RBhigh = RBlow + NRB_PR3 -1, where RBlow and RBhigh are the lowest and highest available RB position and NRB_PR3 is 12 RBs for 30 kHz SCS.

ACS is the ratio of the receive filter attenuation on the assigned channel frequency to the receive filter attenuation on the adjacent channel(s). 7.5.2 Test applicability This test applies to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward. 7.5.3 Minimum conformance requirements The UE shall fulfil the minimum requirements specified in Table 7.5.3-1 for NR bands with FDL_high < 2700 MHz and FUL_high < 2700 MHz and the minimum requirements specified in Table 7.5.3-2. for NR bands with FDL_low ≥ 3300 MHz and FUL_low ≥ 3300 MHz. These requirements apply for all values of an adjacent channel interferer up to -25 dBm and for any SCS specified for the channel bandwidth of the wanted signal. However, it is not possible to directly measure the ACS; instead the lower and upper range of test parameters are chosen as in Table 7.5.3-3 and Table 7.5.3-4 for verification of the requirements specified in Table 7.5.3-1 and as in Table 7.5.3-5, and Table 7.5.3-6 for verification of the requirements specified in Table 7.5.3-2.

E.g. for CA_n1A-n1A-n8A, X=1, Y =8 NOTE 4: In a band where UE supports 4Rx but not supports 8Rx, the test shall be performed only with 4Rx antennas ports connected and 4Rx REFSENS requirement (Table 7.3.2.5-2a and Table 7.3.2.5-2b) is used in the test requirements. In a band where UE supports 8Rx, the test shall be performed only with 8Rx antennas ports connected and 8Rx REFSENS requirement (Table 7.3.2.5-2e and Table 7.3.2.5- 2f) is used in the test requirements. Otherwise, the UE shall be verified with two Rx antenna ports. NOTE 5: Test frequency is set to Mid Range for PCC and SCC with exceptions defined in Table 7.3A.2.4.1-1. For NR band n28, 30MHz test channel bandwidth is tested with Low range test frequencies. NOTE 6: If the UE supports multiple CC Combinations in the CA Configuration with the same NRB_agg, only the combination with the highest NRB_PCC is tested. NOTE 7: For nXA PCC, each of Highest UL and Highest DL shall be selected according to clause 5.5A.3.2. DL channel bandwidth shall be selected first. 1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 38.508-1 [5] Annex A, Figure A.3.1.1.3 for TE diagram and section A.3.2 for UE diagram. 2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.4.3. 3. Downlink signals are initially set up according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2, and C.3.1, and uplink signals according to Annex G.0, G.1, G.2, and G.3.1. 4. The DL and UL Reference Measurement Channels are set according to Table 7.5A.2.4.1-1. 5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0. 6. Ensure the UE is in State RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR, Connected without release On, Test Mode On and Test Loop Function On according to TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 4.5. Message contents are defined in clause 7.5A.2.4.3. Table 7.5A.2.4.1-2: Void Table 7.5A.2.4.1-3: Void 7.5A.2.4.2 Test Procedure 1. Configure SCCs according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2 for all downlink physical channels. 2. The SS shall configure SCCs as per TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 5.1.1. Message contents are defined in clause 7.5A.2.4.3. 3. SS activates SCCs by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321 [18], clauses 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 38.133[19], clause9.3). 4. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.5A.2.4.1-1 on both PCC and SCCs. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 5. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.5A.2.4.1-1 on PCC. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 6. Set the Downlink signal level according to Table 7.5A.2.4.2-1 as appropriate (Case 1). Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.5A.2.4.2-1 for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where: - MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 1782 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI - Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system relative power measurement uncertainty is specified for test case 6.3.4.3 in Table F.1.2-1. - For UEs supporting Tx diversity, the transmit power is measured as the sum of the output power from both UE antenna connectors. 7. Set the Interferer signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5A.2.4.2-1 as appropriate (Case 1) and frequency below the wanted signal, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D. 8. Measure the average throughput for the carrier(s) indicated in Table 7.5A.2.4.2-1 for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A. 9. Repeat steps from 6 to 8, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal in Case 1 at step 7. 10. Set the Downlink signal level according to Table 7.5A.2.4.2-1 as appropriate (Case 2). Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.5A.2.4.2-1 for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where MU and Uplink power control window size are defined above. 11. Set the Interferer signal level to the value as defined in 7.5A.2.4.2-1 as appropriate (Case 2) and frequency below the wanted signal, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D. 12. Measure the average throughput for the carrier(s) indicated in Table 7.5A.2.4.2-1 for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A. 13. Repeat steps from 10 to 12, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal in Case 2 at step 11. 14. Repeat for applicable channel bandwidths and operating band combinations in both Case 1 and Case 2. NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F.4.3.

Table 7.5A.3.4.1-2: Void Table 7.5A.3.4.1-3: Void 7.5A.3.4.2 Test Procedure 1. Configure SCCs according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2 for all downlink physical channels. 2. The SS shall configure SCCs as per TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 5.1.1. Message contents are defined in clause 7.5A.3.4.3. 3. SS activates SCCs by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321 [18], clauses 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 38.133[19], clause9.3). 4. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.5A.3.4.1-1 on both PCC and SCCs. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 5. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.5A.3.4.2-1 on PCC. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 6. Set the Downlink signal level according to Table 7.5A.3.4.2-1 as appropriate (Case 1). Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.5A.3.4.2-1 for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where: - MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW - Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system relative power measurement uncertainty is specified for test case 6.3.4.3 in Table F.1.2-1. - For UEs supporting Tx diversity, the transmit power is measured as the sum of the output power from both UE antenna connectors. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 1790 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI 7. Set the Interferer signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5A.3.4.2-1 as appropriate (Case 1) and frequency below the wanted signal, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D. 8. Measure the average throughput for each component carrier for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A. 9. Repeat steps from 6 to 8, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal in Case 1 at step 7. 10. Set the Downlink signal level according to Table 7.5A.3.4.2-1 as appropriate (Case 2). Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.5A.3.4.2-1 for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where MU and Uplink power control window size are defined above. 11. Set the Interferer signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5A.3.4.2-1 as appropriate (Case 2) and frequency below the wanted signal, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D. 12. Measure the average throughput for each component carrier for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A. 13. Repeat steps from 10 to 12, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal in Case 2 at step 11. 14. Repeat for applicable channel bandwidths and operating band combinations in both Case 1 and Case 2. NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F.4.3.

The initial test configurations consist of environmental conditions, test frequencies, test channel bandwidths and sub- carrier spacing based on NR CA configuration specified in clause 5.5A. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each CA configuration, are shown in Table 7.5A.4.4.1-1. The details of the uplink and downlink reference measurement channels (RMC) are specified in Annexes A.2 and A.3. Configuration of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2. Table 7.5A.4.4.1-1: Test Configuration Table for 5DL CA [TBD] 1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 38.508-1 [5] Annex A, Figure A.3.1.1.3 for TE diagram and section A.3.2 for UE diagram. 2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.4.3. 3. Downlink signals are initially set up according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2, and C.3.1, and uplink signals according to Annex G.0, G.1, G.2, and G.3.1. 4. The DL and UL Reference Measurement Channels are set according to Table 7.5A.2.4.1-1. 5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0. 6. Ensure the UE is in State RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR, Connected without release On, Test Mode On and Test Loop Function On according to TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 4.5. Message contents are defined in clause 7.5A.4.4.3. 7.5A.4.4.2 Test Procedure 1. Configure SCCs according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2 for all downlink physical channels. 2. The SS shall configure SCCs as per TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 5.1.1. Message contents are defined in clause 7.5A.4.4.3. 3. SS activates SCCs by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321 [18], clauses 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 38.133[19], clause 9.3). 4. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.5A.4.4.1-1 on both PCC and SCCs. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 5. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.5A.4.4.2-1 on PCC. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 6. Set the Downlink signal level according to Table 7.5A.4.4.2-1 as appropriate (Case 1). Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.5A.4.4.2-1 for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where: - MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 1796 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI - Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where the UE power step tolerance is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system relative power measurement uncertainty is specified for test case 6.3.4.3 in Table F.1.2-1. - For UEs supporting Tx diversity, the transmit power is measured as the sum of the output power from both UE antenna connectors. 7. Set the Interferer signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5A.4.4.2-1 as appropriate (Case 1) and frequency below the wanted signal, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D. 8. Measure the average throughput for each component carrier for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A. 9. Repeat steps from 6 to 8, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal in Case 1 at step 7. 10. Set the Downlink signal level according to Table 7.5A.4.4.2-1 as appropriate (Case 2). Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.5A.4.4.2-1 for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where MU and Uplink power control window size are defined above. 11. Set the Interferer signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5A.4.4.2-1 as appropriate (Case 2) and frequency below the wanted signal, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D. 12. Measure the average throughput for each component carrier for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A. 13. Repeat steps from 10 to 12, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal in Case 2 at step 11. 14. Repeat for applicable channel bandwidths and operating band combinations in both Case 1 and Case 2. NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F.4.3.

The following aspects are either missing or not yet determined: - MU are FFS for ATG UEs with more than 2 transmit antenna connectors/ transceiver array boundary (TAB) connectors. - MU already defined are based on preliminary analysis of single TE vendor. Values will be revisited once more detailed analysis, including analysis from other TE vendors, is available. 7.5J.1 Test purpose Adjacent channel selectivity (ACS) is a measure of a receiver's ability to receive an NR 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). 7.5J.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR UE release 18 and forward that support NR standalone ATG. 7.5J.3 Minimum conformance requirements Adjacent channel selectivity (ACS) is a measure of a receiver's ability to receive an NR 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 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 1819 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI 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 requirements specified in Table 7.5J.3-1 for NR bands with FDL_high < 2700 MHz and FUL_high < 2700 MHz and the minimum requirements specified in Table 7.5J.3-2 for NR bands with FDL_low ≥ 3300 MHz and FUL_low ≥ 3300 MHz. These requirements apply for all values of an adjacent channel interferer up to - 42 dBm with omni-directional antenna and -30dBm with antenna array for any SCS specified for the channel bandwidth of the wanted signal. However, it is not possible to directly measure the ACS; instead the lower and upper range of test parameters are chosen as in Table 7.5J.3-3 and Table 7.5J.3-4 for verification of the requirements specified in Table 7.5J.3-1, and as in Table 7.5J.3-5 and Table 7.5J.3-6 for verification of the requirements specified in Table 7.5J.3-2.

Message content are defined in clause 7.5J.4.3. 7.5J.4.2 Test procedure 1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.5J.4.1-1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.5J.4.1-1. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 3.

Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H. 6. Repeat steps from 3 to 5, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal in Case 1 at step 4. 7. Set the Downlink signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5J.5-3 or Table 7.5J.5-6 as appropriate (Case 2).

The blocking performance shall apply at all frequencies except those at which a spurious response occurs. 7.6.1 General The blocking characteristic is a measure of the receiver's ability to receive a wanted signal at its assigned channel frequency in the presence of an unwanted interferer on frequencies other than those of the spurious response or the adjacent channels, without this unwanted input signal causing a degradation of the performance of the receiver beyond a specified limit. The blocking performance shall apply at all frequencies except those at which a spurious response occurs.

Message content are defined in clause 7.6.2.4.3. 7.6.2.4.2 Test procedure 1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.6.2.4.1-1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.6.2.4.1-1. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 1828 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI 3.

Set the downlink signal level according to the table 7.6.2.5-1 or 7.6.2.5-3 as appropriate. Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.6.2.5-1 or Table 7.6.2.5-3 for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where: - MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW. - Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system relative power measurement uncertainty is specified for test case 6.3.4.3 in Table F.1.2-1. - For UEs supporting Tx diversity, the transmit power is measured as the sum of the output power from both UE antenna connectors. 5. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H. 6. Repeat steps from 3 to 5, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal in Case 1 at step 3. 7. Repeat steps from 3 to 6, using interfering signals in Case 2 at step 3and 6. The ranges of case 2 are covered in steps equal to the interferer bandwidth. Interferer frequencies should be chosen starting with an offset nearest to the centre frequency and sweep outwards towards the band edges. In order to ensure that full range is tested for interferer frequency, run last test steps at frequency equal to FInterferer range limit defined at the corresponding band edge. 8. If applicable based on NR band, repeat steps from 3 to 5, using interfering signals in Case 3 at step 3. 9. If applicable based on NR band, repeat steps from 3 to 5, using interfering signals in Case 4 at step 3.

The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.6.4.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 3. Set the parameters of the CW signal generator for an interfering signal below the wanted signal according to Table 7.6.4.5-1. 4. Set the downlink signal level according to the table 7.6.4.5-1. Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.6.4.5-1 for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where: - MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW - Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system relative power measurement uncertainty is specified for test case 6.3.4.3 in Table F.1.2-1. - For UEs supporting Tx diversity, the transmit power is measured as the sum of the output power from both UE antenna connectors. 5. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2. 6. Repeat steps from 3 to 5, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal at step 3. NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F.4.3. 7.6.4.4.3 Message Contents Message contents are according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.6 ensuring Table 4.6.3-118 with condition TRANSFORM_PRECODER_ENABLED. 7.6.4.5 Test Requirement The throughput measurement derived in test procedure shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annex A.3.2 and A.3.3 with parameters specified in Table 7.6.4.5-1.

The UL and Reference Measurement Channel is set according to Tables 7.6A.2.3.4.1-1. 5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0. 6. Ensure the UE is in State RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR, Connected without release On, Test Mode On and Test Loop Function On according to TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 4.5. Message contents are defined in clause 7.6A.2.2.4.3. 7.6A.2.3.4.2 Test procedure 1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2 for all downlink physical channels. 2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 5.5.1. Message contents are defined in clause 7.6A.2.3.4.3. 3. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321 [18], clauses 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 38.133[19], clause 9.3). 4. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format [1_1] for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.6A.2.3.4.1-1 on both SCC and PCC. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 5. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format [0_1] for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.6A.2.3.4.1-1 on PCC. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 6. Set the parameters of the signal generator for an interfering signal below the aggregated component carriers in Case 1 according to Table 7.6A.2.3.4.2-1. 7 Set the downlink signal level according to the Table 7.6A.2.3.4.2-1.

The initial test configurations consist of environmental conditions, test frequencies, test channel bandwidths and sub- carrier spacing based on NR CA configuration specified in clause 5.5A. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each CA configuration, are shown in table 7.6A.2.4.4.1-1. The details of the uplink and downlink reference measurement channels (RMC) are specified in Annexes A.2 and A.3. Configuration of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex C.2. Table 7.6A.2.4.4.1-1: Test Configuration Table for 5DL CA [FFS] 1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 38.508-1 [5] Annex A, Figure A.3.1.4.7 for TE diagram and section A.3.2 for UE diagram. 2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.4.3. 3. Downlink signals for PCC are initially set up according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2, and C.3.1, and uplink signals according to Annex G.0, G.1, G.2, and G.3.1. 4. The UL and Reference Measurement Channel is set according to Tables 7.6A.2.4.4.1-1. 5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 1866 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI 6. Ensure the UE is in State RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR, Connected without release On, Test Mode On and Test Loop Function On according to TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 4.5. Message contents are defined in clause 7.6A.2.2.4.3. 7.6A.2.4.4.2 Test procedure 1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2 for all downlink physical channels. 2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 5.5.1. Message contents are defined in clause 7.6A.2.4.4.3. 3. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321 [18], clauses 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 38.133[19], clause 9.3). 4. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format [1_1] for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.6A.2.4.4.1-1 on both SCC and PCC. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 5. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format [0_1] for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.6A.2.4.4.1-1 on PCC. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 6. Set the parameters of the signal generator for an interfering signal below the aggregated component carriers in Case 1 according to Table 7.6A.2.4.4.2-1. 7 Set the downlink signal level according to the Table 7.6A.2.4.4.2-1. Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in table 7.6A.2.2.4.2-1 for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where: - MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW - Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system relative power measurement uncertainty is specified for test case 6.3.4.3 in Table F.1.2-1. - For UEs supporting Tx diversity, the transmit power is measured as the sum of the output power from both UE antenna connectors. 8 Measure the average throughput for the carrier(s) indicated in Table 7.6A.2.4.4.2-1 for duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A. 9 Repeat steps from 6 to 8, using an interfering signal above the measured carrier(s) according to Table 7.6A.2.4.4.2-1 in Case 1 at step 6. 10 Repeat steps from 6 to 9, using interfering signals in Case 2 at step 6 and 9. The ranges of case 2 are covered in steps equal to the interferer bandwidth. 11. Repeat steps 1 to 10 for all component carriers listed in Table 7.6A.2.4.4.2-1. NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F.4.3.

If CW interferer falls in a gap between FDL_High(j) and FDL_Low(j+1) where the corresponding OOB ranges 1 and 2 overlap, then the lower level interferer limit of the overlapping OOB ranges applies. For the UE which supports inter-band CA configuration in Table 7.3A.0.3.2.1-1, Pinterferer power defined in Table 7.6A.3.2.5.2-2 and 7.6A.3.2.5.2-4 is increased by the amount given by ΔRIB,c in Table 7.3A.0.3.2.1-1. Use the highest ΔRIB,c among CA bands for Pinterferer calculation. For inter-band CA combination listed in Table 7.6A.3.2.5.2-5, exceptions to the requirement specified in Table 7.6A.3.2.5.2-6 are allowed when the second order intermodulation product of the lower frequency band UL carrier and the CW interfering signal fully or partially overlaps with the higher frequency band DL carrier. 7. Set the downlink signal level according to Table 7.6A.3.2.5.1-1, 7.6A.3.2.5.2-1 or 7.6A.3.2.5.2-3 for all carriers. Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.6A.3.2.5.1-1, 7.6A.3.2.5.2-1 or 7.6A.3.2.5.2- 3 for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where: - MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW - Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system relative power measurement uncertainty is specified for test case 6.3.4.3 in Table F.1.2-1. - For UEs supporting Tx diversity, the transmit power is measured as the sum of the output power from both UE antenna connectors. 8. Measure the average throughput for the carrier(s) indicated in Table 7.6A.3.2.4.2-1 for duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A. 9. Record the frequencies for which the throughput doesn't meet the requirements and for each frequency, the carriers for which the throughput was not met. 10. Repeat steps 6 to 8 for each recorded frequency-carrier pair, with exception of pairs for which ΔRIB,c is the same as ΔRIB used in Step 6. In Step 6 use only recorded frequencies for interferer placement and use ΔRIB,c relevant to recorded carrier for Pinterferer calculation. Remove the frequency-carrier pairs that meet the throughput requirements from the record. 11. Repeat steps from 6 to 10, using an interfering signal above the CA Band for intra-band CA, or above each SCC’s operating band for inter-band CA at step 6. 12. For Inter-band CA: repeat steps 1 to 11 for the CA configuration IDs in REFSENS indicated in Table 7.6A.3.2.4.2-1, except for operating bands without uplink band. NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F.4.3.

The SS shall configure SCCs as per TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 5.5.1. Message contents are defined in clause 7.6A.3.3.4.3. 3. SS activates SCCs by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321 [18], clauses 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 38.133[19], clause 9.3). 4. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.6A.3.3.4.1-1 on both PCC and SCCs. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 5. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.6A.3.3.4.1-1 on PCC. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 6. For the CCs the throughput is measured on according to Table 7.6A.3.3.4.2-1, set the parameters of the CW signal generator for an interfering signal below each SCC’s operating band for inter-band CA according to Table 7.6A.3.3.5.1-2 or 7.6A.3.3.5.1-4.

Message contents are defined in clause 7.6A.3.4.4.3. 3. SS activates SCCs by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321 [18], clauses 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 38.133[19], clause 9.3). 4. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.6A.3.4.4.1-1 on both PCC and SCCs. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 5. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.6A.3.4.4.1-1 on PCC. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 6.

Measure the average throughput for the carrier(s) indicated in Table 7.6A.3.4.4.2-1 for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A for inter-band CA. 9. Record the frequencies for which the throughput doesn't meet the requirements and for each frequency, the carriers for which the throughput was not met. 10. Repeat steps 6 to 8 for each recorded frequency-carrier pair, with exception of pairs for which ΔRIB,c is the same as ΔRIB used in Step 6. In Step 6 use only recorded frequencies for interferer placement and use ΔRIB,c relevant to recorded carrier for Pinterferer calculation. Remove the frequency-carrier pairs that meet the throughput requirements from the record. 11. Repeat steps from 6 to 10, using an interfering signal above each SCC’s operating band for inter-band CA at step 6. 12.

SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.6A.4.4.4.1-1 on PCC. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 6. Set the parameters of the CW signal generator for an interfering signal below each SCC’s operating band for inter-band CA according to Table 7.6.4.5-1. For the UE which supports inter-band CA configuration in Table 7.3A.0.3.2.1-1, PUW power defined in Table 7.6.4.5-1 is increased by the amount given by ΔRIB,c in Table 7.3A.0.3.2.1-1. 7. Set the downlink signal level for all carriers according to Table 7.6.4.5-1. Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.6.4.5-1 for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where: - MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW - Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system relative power measurement uncertainty is specified for test case 6.3.4.3 in Table F.1.2-1. - For UEs supporting Tx diversity, the transmit power is measured as the sum of the output power from both UE antenna connectors. 8. Measure the average throughput of SCCs for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A for inter-band CA. 9. Repeat steps from 6 to 8, using an interfering signal above each SCC’s operating band for inter-band CA at step 6. 10. For Inter-band CA: Switch the SCell into PCell as per corresponding test IDs defined in Table 7.3A.3.4.1-1 and repeat steps 1 to 9, except for operating bands without uplink band. NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F.4.3. 7.6A.4.4.4.3 Message contents Message contents are according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.6 Table 4.6.3-118 with condition TRANSFORM_PRECODER_ENABLED. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 1910 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI 7.6A.4.4.5 Test requirement 7.6A.4.4.5.1 Narrow band blocking for Inter-band CA For inter-band carrier aggregation with one component carrier per operating band and the uplink assigned to one NR band, the narrow band blocking requirements are defined with the uplink active on the band(s) other than the band whose downlink is being tested, i.e. the requirements are tested only for the SCell downlink.

Message contents are defined in clause 7.6A.3.1.4.3. 3. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC CE (Refer TS 38.321 [18], clauses 5.9, 6.1.3.10). Wait for at least 2 seconds (Refer TS 38.133[19], clause 9.3). 4. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.6C.3_1.1.4.1-1 on both PCC and SCC. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 5. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.6C.3_1.1.4.1-1 on SUL. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 6. Set the parameters of the CW signal generator for an interfering signal below the CA Band for intra-band CA, or below the SCC’s operating band for inter-band CA according to Table 7.6A.3.1.5.1-2, 7.6A.3.1.5.3-2 or 7.6A.3.1.5.3-4.

Measure the average throughput of both carriers for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A for intra-band CA. 9. Record the frequencies for which the throughput doesn't meet the requirements. 10. Repeat steps from 6 to 9, using an interfering signal above the CA Band for intra-band CA at step 6. NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level.

The blocking performance shall apply at all frequencies except those at which a spurious response occur. For UE with two transmitter antenna connectors in closed-loop spatial multiplexing scheme, the minimum requirements specified in subclause 7.6 shall be met with the UL MIMO configurations described in sub-clause 6.2D.1. For UL MIMO, the parameter PCMAX_L is defined as the total transmitter power over the two transmit antenna connectors. 7.6D.2 In-band blocking for UL MIMO 7.6D.2.1 Test purpose In-band blocking for UL MIMO is defined for an unwanted interfering signal falling into the range from 15MHz below to 15MHz above the receive band of an UE that support UL MIMO, with FDL_high < 2700 MHz and FUL_high < 2700 MHz, or into the range from 3CBW below to 3CBW above the receive band of an UE that support UL MIMO, with FDL_high < 3300 MHz and FUL_high < 3300 MHz, at which the relative throughput shall meet or exceed the requirement for the specified measurement channels. The lack of in-band blocking ability will decrease the coverage area when other g-NodeB transmitters exist (except in the adjacent channels and spurious response). 7.6D.2.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward that support UL MIMO on FDD bands. 7.6D.2.3 Minimum conformance requirements For UE with two or four transmitter antenna connectors in closed-loop spatial multiplexing scheme, the minimum requirements specified in subclause 7.6 shall be met with the UL MIMO configurations described in sub-clause 6.2D.1.

In order to ensure that full range is tested for interferer frequency, run last test steps at frequency equal to FInterferer range limit defined at the corresponding band edge. NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level.

The blocking performance shall apply at all frequencies except those at which a spurious response occurs. 7.6J.2 In-band blocking for ATG Editor’s note: This clause is incomplete. The following aspects are either missing or not yet determined: - MU are FFS for ATG UEs with more than 2 transmit antenna connectors/ transceiver array boundary (TAB) connectors. - MU already defined are based on preliminary analysis of single TE vendor. Values will be revisited once more detailed analysis, including analysis from other TE vendors, is available. 7.6J.2.1 Test purpose In band blocking is defined for an unwanted interfering signal falling into the range from 15 MHz below to 15 MHz above the UE receive band, with FDL_high < 2700 MHz and FUL_high < 2700 MHz, or into an immediately adjacent frequency range up 3*BWChannel below or above the UE receive band, with FDL_low ≥3300 MHz and FUL_low ≥ 3300 MHz, at which the relative throughput shall meet or exceed the requirement for the specified measurement channel. 7.6J.2.2 Test applicability This test case applies to all types of NR UE release 18 and forward that support NR standalone ATG. 7.6J.2.3 Minimum conformance requirements For NR bands with FDL_high < 2700 MHz and FUL_high < 2700 MHz, in-band blocking (IBB) is defined for an unwanted interfering signal falling into the UE receive band or into the first 15 MHz below or above the UE receive band.

Downlink signals are initially set up according to Annex C.0, C.1, C.2, C.3.1, and uplink signals according to Annex G.0, G.1, G.2, G.3.1. 4. The DL and UL Reference Measurement channels are set according to Table 7.6J.2.4.1-1. 5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0. 6. Ensure the UE is in state RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity NR, Connected without release On, Test Mode On and Test Loop Function On according to TS 38.508-1 [5] clause 4.5. Message contents are defined in clause 7.6J.2.4.3. 7.6J.2.4.2 Test procedure 1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table 7.6J.2.4.1-1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. 2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.6J.2.4.1-1. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC. 3. Set the parameters of the signal generator for an interfering signal below the wanted signal in Case 1 according to Tables 7.6J.2.5-1 and 7.6J.2.5-2 or Tables 7.6J.2.5-3 and 7.6J.2.5-4 as appropriate depending on NR band. 4. Set the downlink signal level according to the table 7.6J.2.5-1 or 7.6J.2.5-3 as appropriate. Send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.6J.2.5-1 or Table 7.6J.2.5-3 for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement, where: - MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW. - Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where the UE power step tolerance is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system relative power measurement uncertainty is specified for test case 6.3.4.3 in Table F.1.2-1. - The transmit power is measured as the sum of power of all antenna connectors (for ATG UE with omni- directional antennas) or of all TAB connectors (for ATG UE with antenna array). 5. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H. 6. Repeat steps from 3 to 5, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal in Case 1 at step 3. 7. Repeat steps from 3 to 6, using interfering signals in Case 2 at step 3and 6. The ranges of case 2 are covered in steps equal to the interferer bandwidth. Interferer frequencies should be chosen starting with an offset nearest to the centre frequency and sweep outwards towards the band edges. In order to ensure that full range is tested for interferer frequency, run last test steps at frequency equal to FInterferer range limit defined at the corresponding band edge. 8. If applicable based on NR band, repeat steps from 3 to 5, using interfering signals in Case 4 at step 3. NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F.4.3. 7.6J.2.4.3 Message contents Message contents are according to TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.6 with TRANSFORM_PRECODER_ENABLED condition in Table 4.6.3-118 PUSCH-Config. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 1961 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI 7.6J.2.5 Test requirement For NR bands with FDL_high < 2700 MHz and FUL_high < 2700 MHz, the throughput measurement derived in test procedure shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annex in Annexes A.2.2, A.2.3 and A.3.2 with parameters specified in Tables 7.6J.2.5-1 and 7.6J.2.5-2.

The lack of the spurious response ability decreases the coverage area when other unwanted interfering signal exists at any other frequency. 7.7.2 Test Applicability This test applies to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward. 7.7.3 Minimum Conformance Requirements The throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annexes A.2.2, A.2.3, A.3.2 and A.3.3(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 for the wanted signal as specified in Table 7.7.3-1 for NR bands with FDL_high < 2700 MHz and FUL_high < 2700 MHz and in Table 7.7.3-1a for NR bands with FDL_high ≥ 3300 MHz and FUL_high ≥ 3300 MHz and for the interferer as specified in Table 7.7.3-2.

For each spurious frequency, measure the average throughput for each component carrier for duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex H.2A. NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F.4.3.

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 The measurement channels in the following subclauses are defined to derive the requirements in clause 6 (Transmitter Characteristics) and clause 7 (Receiver Characteristics). The measurement channels represent example configurations of physical channels for different data rates. The measurement channels in the following clauses are applicable to both FDD and TDD. The active uplink slots for TDD configurations are specified in table A.2.1-1. TDD slot patterns defined for reference sensitivity tests will be used for TDD UL RMCs, unless otherwise stated. The active uplink slots for additional TDD configuration specified in Table A.2.1-3, with the TDD pattern defined in Table A.2.1-4, is used for the phase continuity tests for DMRS bundling with 15 kHz SCS. The active uplink slots configuration specified in Table A.2.1-5 and the additional TDD pattern in Table A.2.1-6 are used for shorter transient period capability EVM tests at 15 kHz SCS.

Calculate the RE number of 2nd stage SCI Q_SCI2^' that can be transmitted in a given sub-frame, where in order to make sure that the code-rate of 2-A is approximate to SCI 1-A, a beta offset is selected based on MCS, and vacant resource elements γ value is determined based on NRB and DMRS frequency density. 2. Transport Block Size is determined according to clause 8.1.3.2 of TS 38.214 [12] based on Table A.7.1-1. 3. Calculate Binary Channel Bits per Slot for PSSCH as below. Binary Channel Bits per Slot = (NRB* Subcarriers per resource block*CP-OFDM symbols per slot – DMRS resource REs – PSCCH resource Res - Q_SCI2^') * Qm Where Qm is the modulation order corresponding to MCS.

E.1 General The global in-channel TX test enables the measurement of all relevant parameters that describe the in-channel quality of the output signal of the TX under test in a single measurement process. The parameters describing the in-channel quality of a transmitter, however, are not necessarily independent. The algorithm chosen for description inside this annex places particular emphasis on the exclusion of all interdependencies among the parameters. E.2 Signals and results E.2.1 Basic principle The process is based on the comparison of the actual output signal of the TX under test, received by an ideal receiver, with a reference signal, that is generated by the measuring equipment and represents an ideal error free received signal. All signals are represented as equivalent (generally complex) baseband signals. The description below uses numbers as examples. These numbers are taken from FDD with normal CP length and 100 MHz bandwidth with 30 kHz SCS. The application of the text below, however, is not restricted to this frame structure and bandwidth. E.2.2 Output signal of the TX under test The output signal of the TX under test is acquired by the measuring equipment and stored for further processing. It is sampled at a sampling rate of 122.88 Mbps. In the time domain it comprises at least n uplink slots, where for basic EVM measurement, 10, for 15 kHz SCS 20, for 30 kHz SCS 40, for 60 kHz SCS n = ; For Error Vector Magnitude including symbols with transient periods = 108 for 15 kHz SCS 216 for 30 kHz SCS The measurement period is derived by concatenating the correct number of individual uplink slots until the correct measurement period is reached. The output signal is named z(ν). Each slot is modelled as a signal with the following parameters: demodulated data content, carrier frequency, amplitude and phase for each subcarrier, timing, carrier leakage. Since the uplink subframes are not continuous, n slots should be extracted from more than 1 continuous radio frame. E.2.3 Reference signal Two types of reference signal are defined: The reference signal i1(ν) is constructed by the measuring equipment according to the relevant TX specifications, using the following parameters: demodulated data content, nominal carrier frequency, nominal amplitude and phase for each subcarrier, nominal timing, no carrier leakage. It is represented as a sequence of samples at a sampling rate of 122.88 Msps in the time domain. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 2089 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI The reference signal i2(ν) is constructed by the measuring equipment according to the relevant TX specifications, using the following parameters: restricted data content: nominal reference symbols, (all modulation symbols for user data symbols are set to 0V), nominal carrier frequency, nominal amplitude and phase for each applicable subcarrier, nominal timing, no carrier leakage. It is represented as a sequence of samples at a sampling rate of 122.88 Msps in the time domain. NOTE: The PUCCH is off during the time under test. E.2.4 Measurement results The measurement results, achieved by the global in channel TX test are the following: - Carrier Frequency error - EVM (Error Vector Magnitude) - Carrier leakage - Unwanted emissions, falling into non allocated resource blocks. - EVM equalizer spectrum flatness E.2.5 Measurement points The unwanted emission falling into non-allocated RB(s) is calculated directly after the FFT as described below. In contrast to this, the EVM for the allocated RB(s) is calculated after the IDFT for DFT-s-OFDM or after the Tx-Rx chain equalizer for CP-OFDM. The samples after the TX-RX chain equalizer are used to calculate EVM equalizer spectrum flatness. Carrier frequency error and carrier leakage is calculated in the block “RF correction”. In case the parameter 3300 or 3301 is reported from UE via txDirectCurrentLocation IE (as defined in TS 38.331 [6]), carrier leakage measurement in the RF correction block shall be omitted. All statements from Annex E.3 onwards shall be read assuming that no carrier leakage has been measured. Figure E.2.5-1: EVM measurement points E.3 Signal processing E.3.1 Pre FFT minimization process Before applying the pre-FFT minimization process, z(ν) and i(ν) are portioned into n pieces, comprising one slot each, where n is as defined in Annex E.2.2. For handling of sidelink transmission, the transmission gap of one symbol at the end of each slot is excluded in following process. Each slot is processed separately. Sample timing, Carrier frequency and carrier leakage in z(ν) are jointly varied in order to minimise the difference between z(ν) and i(ν). Best fit (minimum difference) is achieved when the RMS difference value between z(ν) and i(ν) is an absolute minimum. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 2090 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI The carrier frequency variation and the IQ variation are the measurement results: Carrier Frequency Error and Carrier leakage. From the acquired samples 10 carrier frequencies can be derived by averaging frequency errors for every 1, 2 or 4 slots for 15, 30 and 60 kHz SCS. From the acquired samples n carrier frequencies and n carrier leakages can be derived. NOTE 1: The minimisation process, to derive carrier leakage and RF error can be supported by Post FFT operations. However the minimisation process defined in the pre FFT domain comprises all acquired samples (i.e. it does not exclude the samples in between the FFT widths and it does not exclude the bandwidth outside the transmission bandwidth configuration NOTE 2: The algorithm would allow deriving Carrier Frequency error and Sample Frequency error of the TX under test separately. However there are no requirements for Sample Frequency error. Hence the algorithm models the RF and the sample frequency commonly (not independently). It returns one error and does not distinguish between both. After this process the samples z(ν) are called z0(ν). E.3.2 Timing of the FFT window The FFT window length is 4096 samples per OFDM symbol. 14 FFTs (57344 samples) cover less than the acquired number of samples (61440 samples). The position in time for FFT must be determined. In an ideal signal, the FFT may start at any instant within the cyclic prefix without causing an error. The TX filter, however, reduces the window. The EVM requirements shall be met within a window W<CP. There are three different instants for FFT: Centre of the reduced window, called , –W/2 and +W/2. The timing of the measured signal is determined in the pre FFT domain as follows, using z0(ν) and i2(ν) : 1. The measured signal is delay spread by the TX filter. Hence the distinct boarders between the OFDM symbols and between Data and CP are also spread and the timing is not obvious. 2. In the Reference Signal i2(ν) the timing is known. 3. Correlation between (1.) and (2.) will result in a correlation peak. The meaning of the correlation peak is approx. the “impulse response” of the TX filter. The meaning of “impulse response” assumes that the autocorrelation of the reference signal i2(ν) is a Dirac peak and that the correlation between the reference signal i2(ν) and the data in the measured signal is 0. The correlation peak, (the highest, or in case of more than one, the earliest) indicates the timing in the measured signal. From the acquired samples, n timings can be derived, where n is as defined in Annex E.2.2. For all calculations, except EVM, the number of samples in z0(ν) is reduced to 14 blocks of samples, comprising 4096 samples (FFT width) and starting with in each OFDM symbol including the demodulation reference signal. For the EVM calculation the output signal under test is reduced to 28 blocks of samples, comprising 4096 samples (FFT width) and starting with –W/2 and +W/2 in each OFDM symbol including the demodulation reference signal. The number of samples, used for FFT is reduced compared to z0(ν). This subset of samples is called z’(ν). The timing of the centre with respect to the different CP length in a slot is as follows: (FDD, normal CP length) is on Tf=144 (=CP/2) within the CP of length 288 FFT samples (in OFDM symbols except 0 and 14 (=7 ⋅2 ), where symbol 0 is the first symbol of each subframe) for 100 MHz channel bandwidth and SCS = 30 kHz. is on Tf=208 (=352-144) within the CP of length 352 FFT samples (in OFDM symbol 0 and 14 (=7 ⋅2 ), where symbol 0 is the first symbol of each subframe) for 100 MHz channel bandwidth and SCS = 30 kHz. c~ Δ c~ Δ c~ Δ c~ Δ c~ Δ c~ Δ c~ Δ c~ Δ c~ Δ 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 2091 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI E.3.3 Post FFT equalisation Perform 14 FFTs on z’(ν), one for each OFDM symbol in a slot using the timing , including the demodulation reference symbol. The result is an array of samples, 14 in the time axis t times 4096 in the frequency axis f. The samples represent the data symbols (in OFDM-symbol 0,1,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,12,13 in each slot) and demodulation reference symbols (OFDM symbol 2, 7, 11 in each slot) in the allocated RBs and inband emissions in the non-allocated RBs within the transmission BW. Only the allocated resource blocks in the frequency domain are used for equalisation. The nominal demodulation reference symbols and nominal data symbols are used to equalize the measured data symbols. (Location for equalization see Figure E.2.5-1) NOTE: The nomenclature inside this note is local and not valid outside. The nominal data symbols are created by a demodulation process. The location to gain the demodulated data symbols is “EVM” in Figure E.2.5-1. For CP-OFDM, the process described in Annex E.5 can be applied. A demodulation process as follows is recommended for DFT-s-OFDM: 1. Equalize the measured data symbols using the reference symbols for equalisation. Result: Equalized data symbols 2. Only for DFT-s-OFDM, iDFT transform the equalized data symbols: Result: Equalized data symbols 3. Decide for the nearest constellation point: Result: Nominal data symbols 4. Only for DFT-s-OFDM, DFT transform the nominal data symbols: Result: Nominal data symbols At this stage we have an array of Measured data-Symbols and reference-Symbols (MS(f,t)) versus an array of Nominal data-Symbols and reference Symbols (NS(f,t)) (complex, the arrays comprise 11 data symbols and 3 demodulation reference symbol in the time axis and the number of allocated subcarriers in the frequency axis.) MS(f,t) and NS(f,t) are processed with a least square (LS) estimator, to derive one equalizer coefficient per time slot and per allocated subcarrier. EC(f) is defined as . With * denoting complex conjugation. EC(f) are used to equalize the DFT-coded data symbols. The measured DFT-coded data and the references symbols are equalized by: Z’(f,t) = MS(f,t) . EC(f) With . denoting multiplication. Z’(f,t), restricted to the data symbol (excluding t=2,7,11) is used to calculate EVM, as described in E.4.1. EC(f) is used in E.4.4.1 to calculate EVM equalizer spectral flatness. NOTE: The post FFT minimisation process is done over 14 symbols (11 DFT-coded data symbols and 3 reference symbols). The samples of the non-allocated resource blocks within the transmission bandwidth configuration in the post FFT domain are called Y(f,t) (f covering the non-allocated subcarriers within the transmission bandwidth configuration, t covering the OFDM symbols during 1 slot). c~ Δ 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 2092 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI E.4 Derivation of the results E.4.1 EVM For EVM create two sets of Z’(f,t)., according to the timing ” –W/2 and +W/2” using the equalizer coefficients from E.3.3. Perform the iDFTs on Z’(f,t) in the case of DFT-s-OFDM waveform. The IDFT-decoding preserves the meaning of t but transforms the variable f (representing the allocated sub carriers) into another variable g, covering the same count and representing the demodulated symbols. The samples in the post IDFT domain are called iZ’(g, t). The equivalent ideal samples are called iI(g,t). Those samples of Z’(f,t), carrying the reference symbols (=symbol 2,7,11) are not iDFT processed. The EVM is the difference between the ideal waveform and the measured and equalized waveform for the allocated RB(s) , where t covers the count of demodulated symbols with the considered modulation scheme being active within the measurement period, (i.e. symbol 0,1,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,12,13 in each slot, |T|=11) g covers the count of demodulated symbols with the considered modulation scheme being active within the allocated bandwidth.

Explanatory Note: The inband emission measurement is only meaningful with allocated RB(s) next to non-allocated RB. The allocated RB(s) are necessary but not under test. The non-allocated RBs are under test. The RB allocation for this test is as follows: The allocated RB(s) are at one end of the channel BW, leaving the other end unallocated. The number of allocated RB(s) is smaller than half of the number of RBs, available in the channel BW. This means that the vicinity of the carrier in the centre is unallocated. There are 3 types of inband emissions: 1. General 2. IQ image 3. Carrier leakage Carrier leakage are inband emissions next to the carrier. IQ image are inband emissions symmetrically (with respect to the carrier) on the other side of the allocated RBs. General are applied to all unallocated RBs. For each evaluated 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. In specific the following combinations: - Power (General) - Power (General + Carrier leakage) - Power (General + IQ Image) 1 and 2 is expressed in terms of power in one non allocated RB under test, normalized to the average power of an allocated RB (unit dB). 3 is expressed in terms of power in one non allocated RB, normalized to the power of all allocated RBs. (unit dBc). This is the reason for two formulas Emissions relative. Create one set of Y(t,f) per slot according to the timing “ ” For the non-allocated RBs below the in-band emissions are calculated as follows , where the upper formula represents the in band emissions below the allocated frequency block and the lower one the in band emissions above the allocated frequency block. is a set of DFT-s-OFDM symbols with the considered modulation scheme being active within the measurement period, c~ Δ > Δ < Δ = Δ ∈ Δ Δ ⋅ + Δ − Δ ⋅ + ∈ Δ + Δ ⋅ + Δ Δ ⋅ + 0 , ) , ( 1 0 , ) , ( 1 ) ( )) * 12 (, min( * ) 11 12 ( 2 * ) 11 12 ( )) * 12 (, max( 2 max min RB T t f c f f c s RB T t f c f c f s RB absolute s RB h RB h s RB l RB l f t Y T f t Y T Emissions sT sT 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 2094 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI is the starting frequency offset between the allocated RB and the measured non-allocated RB (e.g. for the first upper or for the first lower adjacent RB), and are the lower and upper edge of the UL transmission BW configuration, and are the lower and upper edge of the allocated BW, is the SCS, and is the frequency domain signal evaluated for in-band emissions as defined in the clause E.3.3 The allocated RB power per RB and the total allocated RB power are given by: The relative in-band emissions, applicable for General and IQ image, are given by: where is the number of allocated resource blocks, and is the frequency domain samples for the allocated bandwidth, as defined in the clause E.3.3.

E.4.6 EVM of Demodulation reference symbols (EVMDMRS) For the purpose of EVM DMRS, the steps E.2.2 to E.4.2 are repeated 6 times, constituting 6 EVM DMRS sub-periods. The only purpose of the repetition is to cover the longer gross measurement period of EVM DMRS ( time slots) and to derive the FFT window timing per sub-period. The bigger of the EVM results in one n TS period corresponding to the timing¦ c~ Δ –W/2 or c~ Δ +W/2 is compared against the limit, where n is as defined in Annex E.2.2. (Clause E.4.2) This timing is re-used for EVM DMRS in the equivalent EVM DMRS sub-period. For EVM the demodulation reference symbols are excluded, while the data symbols are used. For EVMDMRS the data symbols are excluded, while the demodulation references symbols are used.

From the acquired samples 2n EVMPUCCH value can be derived, n values for the timing c~ Δ –W/2 and n values for the timing c~ Δ +W/2, where n is as defined in Annex E.2.2. E.5.9.2 Averaged EVMPUCCH EVMPUCCH is averaged over all basic EVMPUCCH measurements The averaging comprises n UL slots , where n is as defined in Annex E.2.2.

E.5.9.3 In-band emissions measurement The in-band emissions are a measure of the interference falling into the non-allocated resources blocks Create one set of Y(t,f) per slot according to the timing “ c~ Δ ” For the non-allocated RBs the in-band emissions are calculated as follows > Δ < Δ = Δ ∈ Δ Δ ⋅ + Δ − Δ ⋅ + ∈ Δ + Δ ⋅ + Δ Δ ⋅ + 0 , ) , ( 1 0 , ) , ( 1 ) ( )) * 12 (, min( * ) 11 12 ( 2 * ) 11 12 ( )) * 12 (, max( 2 max min RB T t f c f f c s RB T t f c f c f s RB absolute s RB h RB h s RB l RB l f t Y T f t Y T Emissions , where the upper formula represents the inband emissions below the allocated frequency block and the lower one the inband emissions above the allocated frequency block. sT is a set of sT OFDM symbols in the measurement period, RB Δ is the starting frequency offset between the allocated RB and the measured non-allocated RB (e.g. 1 = Δ RB for the first upper or 1 − = Δ RB for the first lower adjacent RB), 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 2104 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI min f and max f are the lower and upper edge of the UL UE channel bandwidth lc and hc are the lower and upper edge of the allocated BW, f Δ is the SCS, and ( ) f t Y , is the frequency domain signal evaluated for in-band emissions as defined in the clause E.5.8.

From the acquired samples n functions for inband emissions can be derived, where n is as defined in Annex E.2.2. The in-band emissions are averaged over the n samples (equivalent to 10 UL subframes) with the same PUCCH position to prevent averaging of allocated and non-allocated RBs due to PUCCH frequency hopping: , 1 1 ( ) ( ) n absolute RB absolute i RB i Emissions Emissions n = Δ = Δ ( ) , /10 10 1 1 ( ) 10*log 10 [ ] relative i RB n Emissions relative RB i Emissions dB n Δ = Δ = Since the PUCCH allocation is always on the upper or lower band-edge, the opposite of the allocated one represents the IQ image, and the remaining inner RBs represent the general inband emissions. They are compared against different limits. E.5.9.4 EVM measurement for 2Tx For UE with dual transmission antennas, if UE indicates IE [txDiversity-r16], EVM is measured at each antenna connector to get EVM1 and EVM2, and the total EVM is calculated by values of EVM1 and EVM2 with weighting factor of linear power at each antenna connector. = ∗ + ∗ + where P1 and P2 denote the linear power measured at each antenna connector respectively. E.6 EVM for PRACH The description below is generic in the sense that all PRACH formats are covered. The numbers, used in the text below are taken from PRACH format#0 without excluding the other formats. The sampling rate for PRACH is assumed as , 30.72 Msps in the time domain. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 2105 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI E.6.1 Basic principle The basic principle is the same as described in E.2.1 E.6.2 Output signal of the TX under test The output signal of the TX under test is processed same as described in E.2.2 The measurement period is different since 2 PRACH preambles are recorded for long preamble formats as defined in Table 6.3.3.1-1 in [8] and 10 preambles are recorded for short preamble formats as defined in Table 6.3.3.1-2 in [8]. E.6.3 Reference signal The test description in 6.4.2.1.4.1 is based on non-contention based access: - PRACH configuration index (responsible for Preamble format, System frame number and subframe number) - Preamble ID - Preamble power signalled to the UE, defines the reference signal unambiguously, such that no demodulation process is necessary to gain the reference signal. The reference signal i(ν) is constructed by the measuring equipment according to the relevant TX specifications, using the following parameters: the applicable Zadoff Chu sequence, nominal carrier frequency, nominal amplitude and phase for each subcarrier, nominal timing, no carrier leakage. It is represented as a sequence of samples at a sampling rate of 122.88 Msps in the time domain. E.6.4 Measurement results The measurement result is: - EVMPRACH E.6.5 Measurement points The measurement points are illustrated in the figure below: Figure E.6.5-1:Measurement points E.6.6 Pre FFT minimization process The pre-FFT minimization process is applied to each PRACH preamble separately. The time period for the pre- FFT minimisation process includes the complete CP and Zadoff-Chu sequence (in other words, the power transition period is per definition outside of this time period) Sample timing, Carrier frequency and carrier leakage in z(ν) are jointly varied 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 2106 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI in order to minimise the difference between z(ν) and i(ν). Best fit (minimum difference) is achieved when the RMS difference value between z(ν) and i(ν) is an absolute minimum. After this process the samples z(ν) are called z0(ν). RF error, and carrier leakage are necessary for best fit of the measured signal towards the ideal signal in the pre FFT domain. However they are not used to compare them against the limits. E.6.7 Timing of the FFT window The FFT window length is 24576 samples for preamble format 0, however in the measurement period at least 27744 samples are taken. The position in time for FFT must be determined. In an ideal signal, the FFT may start at any instant within the cyclic prefix without causing an error. The TX filter, however, reduces the window. The EVM requirements shall be met within a window W<CP. The reference instant for the FFT start is the centre of the reduced window, called c~ Δ , EVM is measured at the following two instants: c~ Δ –W/2 and c~ Δ +W/2. The timing of the measured signal z0(ν) with respect to the ideal signal i(ν) is determined in the pre FFT domain as follows: Correlation between z0(ν) and i(ν) will result in a correlation peak. The meaning of the correlation peak is approx. the “impulse response” of the TX filter. The correlation peak, (the highest, or in case of more than one, the earliest) indicates the timing in the measured signal with respect to the ideal signal. W is different for different preamble formats and shown in Table E.6.7-1 for 839 RA = L and { }kHz 5, 25 . 1 RA ∈ Δf in Table E.6.7-2 for 139 RA = L and kHz 2 15 RA μ ⋅ = Δf where { } 2 ,1, 0 ∈ μ .

This subset of samples is called z’ (ν). EVM is based on Nominal FFT size samples per PRACH preamble and demodulated symbol. E.6.8 Post FFT equalisation Equalisation is not applicable for the PRACH.

E.7 reserved Editor’s note: reserved for Phase offset measurement for DMRS bundling E.8 EVM for UL MIMO E.8.1 General EVM for UL MIMO is measured per layer. A zero-forcing (ZF) MIMO receiver architecture is used so that dual layer transmissions by the UE can be demodulated by the test equipment receiver. Figure E.8.1-1: EVM calculation block diagram for 2-Layer UL MIMO 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 2109 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI The TE receives signals from 2 different ports which are connected to two antenna connectors in the test system. For UL MIMO measurements a MIMO equalization step as described in section E.8.2 is performed to separate the layers. Each layer is then processed as described in section E.8.3 to receive the measurement results for each individual layer. E.8.2 MIMO Equalization The MIMO equalization is based only on reference signals (DMRS) without using any data symbols. For the equalization process all available DMRS symbols shall be used. The effective 2x2 channel matrix is estimated using reference signals of different subcarriers, e.g. in case of DMRS antenna ports 0 and 2. In case that same subcarriers are used, e.g. DMRS antenna ports 0 and 1, a channel decomposition is necessary taking advantage of the orthogonal codes wf and wt and assuming identical channel coefficients for adjacent subcarriers of same CDM group. Effective channel including the precoding matrix P is: = = ℎ , ℎ , ℎ, ℎ, with ℎ , = ∗ || where y denotes the received symbol on port index n and r the reference signal for layer index ν. Since reference signals of a specific layer are transmitted only on subcarriers of one CDM group channel, interpolation is needed in order to obtain channel coefficients for all subcarriers. Channel interpolation is done using the channel coefficients of active CDM group in all other CDM groups. The channel coefficients used to calculate the equalizer coefficients are obtained after channel smoothing in frequency domain by computing the moving average of interpolated channel coefficients. The moving average window size is 7. For subcarriers at or near the edge of allocation the window size is reduced accordingly. The ZF equalizer coefficients are calculated as the inverse of the effective channel matrix, in general: = E.8.3 Layer processing After performing the MIMO equalization as described in section E.8.2 each layer is processed using the existing procedure as defined in Annex E. Since the channel estimation is calculated only on the DMRS symbols, an averaging including all 14 symbols of one slot, i.e. data and reference signals, is needed in order to minimize EVM. The averaging is achieved by the least square (LS) equalization method described for single layer in Annex E.3. MS(f,t) and NS(f,t) are processed with a LS estimator, to derive one equalizer coefficient per time slot and per allocated subcarrier. EC(f) is defined for each layer as: ( ) = ∑ ( , )∗ ( , ) ∑ ( , )∗ ( , ) With * denoting complex conjugation. EC(f) are used to equalize layer data symbols. EVM equalizer spectral flatness is derived from equalizer coefficients for each layer as follows: = | ( )| , + , 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 2110 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI E.9 EVM for V2X E.9.1 EVM for PSSCH and PSCCH The calculation of the EVM for PSSCH and PSCCH follows the procedure defined in Annex E.4. The EVM is calculated separately for PSSCH and PSCCH using separate equalizer, while the in-band emission is calculated only once. The measurement period for EVM of PSSCH and PSCCH is 10 subframes. When sidelink transmissions are shortened due to transmission gap of one symbol at the end of each slot, the EVM measurement interval is reduced by one symbol, accordingly. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 2111 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI Annex F (normative): Measurement uncertainties and Test Tolerances F.1 Acceptable uncertainty of Test System (normative) F.1.0 General The maximum acceptable uncertainty of the Test System is specified below for each test, where appropriate. The Test System shall enable the stimulus signals in the test case to be adjusted to within the specified range, and the equipment under test to be measured with an uncertainty not exceeding the specified values. All ranges and uncertainties are absolute values, and are valid for a confidence level of 95 %, unless otherwise stated. A confidence level of 95 % is the measurement uncertainty tolerance interval for a specific measurement that contains 95 % of the performance of a population of test equipment. For RF tests it should be noted that the uncertainties in clause F.1 apply to the Test System operating into a nominal 50 ohm load and do not include system effects due to mismatch between the DUT and the Test System. The downlink signal uncertainties apply at each receiver antenna connector. F.1.1 Measurement of test environments The measurement accuracy of the UE test environments defined in TS 38.508-1 [5] subclause 4.1, Test environments shall be - Pressure ±5 kPa. - Temperature ±2 degrees. - Relative Humidity ±5 %. - DC Voltage ±1,0 %. - AC Voltage ±1,5 %. - Vibration 10 %. - Vibration frequency 0,1 Hz. The above values shall apply unless the test environment is otherwise controlled and the specification for the control of the test environment specifies the uncertainty for the parameter. F.1.2 Measurement of transmitter - MU and TT for >6GHz (band n96) are working assumption based on analysis of single TE vendor. Values will be revisited once analysis from other TE vendors is available. - MU and TT for spurious emission for intra-band UL contiguous CA with UL-MIMO test cases are working assumption. Values will be revisited once more analysis is available.

The Test Requirement is defined as a threshold considered in a test to assess compliance of the device; it might be either equal (“Shared Risk” principle) or relaxed (“Never fail a good DUT” principle) compared to the corresponding core specification value by an amount defined in Annex F.3 as Test Tolerance. The “Shared Risk” and the “Never fail a good DUT” principles are defined in Rec. ITU-R M.1545. The actual measurement uncertainty of the Test System for the measurement of each parameter shall be included in the test report. The recorded value for the Test System uncertainty shall be, for each measurement, equal to or lower than the appropriate figure in clause F.1 of the present document. If the Test System for a test is known to have a measurement uncertainty greater than that specified in clause F.1, it is still permitted to use this apparatus provided that an adjustment is made value as follows: Any additional uncertainty in the Test System over and above that specified in clause F.1 shall be used to tighten the Test Requirement, making the test harder to pass. For some tests, for example receiver tests, this may require modification of stimulus signals. This procedure will ensure that a Test System not compliant with clause F.1does not increase the chance of passing a device under test where that device would otherwise have failed the test if a Test System compliant with clause F.1 had been used. F.3 Test Tolerance and Derivation of Test Requirements (informative) The Test Requirements in the present document have been calculated by relaxing the Minimum Requirements of the core specification using the Test Tolerances defined in this clause. When the Test Tolerance is zero, the Test Requirement will be the same as the Minimum Requirement. When the Test Tolerance is non-zero, the Test Requirements will differ from the Minimum Requirements, and the formula used for the relaxation is given in this clause. The Test Tolerances are derived from Test System uncertainties, regulatory requirements and criticality to system performance. As a result, the Test Tolerances may sometimes be set to zero. The test tolerances should not be modified for any reason e.g. to take account of commonly known test system errors (such as mismatch, cable loss, etc.). The downlink Test Tolerances apply at each receiver antenna connector. F.3.1 Measurement of test environments The UE test environments are set to the values defined in TS 38.508-1 subclause 4.1, without any relaxation. The applied Test Tolerance is therefore zero. F.3.2 Measurement of transmitter - MU and TT for >6GHz (band n96) are working assumption based on analysis of single TE vendor. Values will be revisited once analysis from other TE vendors is available.

H.2 Statistical testing of receiver characteristics H.2.1 General The test of receiver characteristics is twofold. 1. A signal or a combination of signals is offered to the RX port(s) of the receiver. 2. The ability of the receiver to demodulate /decode this signal is verified by measuring the throughput. In (2) is the statistical aspect of the test and is treated here. The minimum requirement for all receiver tests is >95% of the maximum throughput. All receiver tests are performed in static propagation conditions. No fading conditions are applied. H.2.2 Mapping throughput to error ratio a) The measured information bit throughput R is defined as the sum (in kilobits) of the information bit payloads successfully received during the test interval, divided by the duration of the test interval (in seconds). b) In measurement practice the UE indicates successfully received information bit payload by signalling an ACK to the SS. If payload is received, but damaged and cannot be decoded, the UE signals a NACK. c) Only the ACK and NACK signals, not the data bits received, are accessible to the SS. The number of bits is known in the SS from knowledge of what payload was sent. d) For the reference measurement channel, applied for testing, the number of bits is different in different slots, however in a radio frame it is fixed during one test. e) The time in the measurement interval is composed of successfully received slots (ACK), unsuccessfully received slots (NACK) and no reception at all (DTX-slots). f) DTX-slots may occur regularly according the applicable reference measurement channel (regDTX). In real live networks this is the time when other UEs are served. In TDD these are the UL and special slots. regDTX vary from test to test but are fixed within the test. g) Additional DTX-slots occur statistically when the UE is not responding ACK or NACK where it should. (statDTX) This may happen when the UE was not expecting data or decided that the data were not intended for it. The pass / fail decision is done by observing the: - number of NACKs - number of ACKs and - number of statDTXs (regDTX is implicitly known to the SS) 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 2173 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI The ratio (NACK + statDTX)/(NACK+ statDTX + ACK)is the Error Ratio (ER). Taking into account the time consumed by the ACK, NACK, and DTX-TTIs (regular and statistical), ER can be mapped unambiguously to throughput for any single reference measurement channel test. H.2.3 Design of the test The test is defined by the following design principles (see clause H.2.6, Theory….): 1. The early decision concept is applied. 2. A second limit is introduced: Bad DUT factor M>1 3. To decide the test pass: Supplier risk is applied based on the Bad DUT quality To decide the test fail Customer Risk is applied based on the specified DUT quality The test is defined by the following parameters: 1. Limit ER = 0.05 (Throughput limit = 95%) 2. Bad DUT factor M=1.5 (selectivity) 3. Confidence level CL = 95% (for specified DUT and Bad DUT-quality) H.2.4 Numerical definition of the pass fail limits Table H.2.4-1: pass fail limits ne nsp nsf ne nsp nsf ne nsp nsf ne nsp nsf 0 67 NA 37 715 477 74 1290 1093 111 1847 1739 1 67 NA 38 731 493 75 1306 1110 112 1862 1756 2 95 NA 39 747 509 76 1321 1128 113 1877 1774 3 119 NA 40 763 525 77 1336 1145 114 1891 1792 4 141 NA 41 779 541 78 1351 1162 115 1906 1809 5 162 NA 42 795 557 79 1366 1179 116 1921 1827 6 183 NA 43 810 573 80 1382 1197 117 1936 1845 7 203 NA 44 826 590 81 1397 1214 118 1951 1863 8 222 NA 45 842 606 82 1412 1231 119 1966 1880 9 241 67 46 858 622 83 1427 1248 120 1981 1898 10 259 80 47 873 639 84 1442 1266 121 1995 1916 11 278 92 48 889 655 85 1457 1283 122 2010 1934 12 296 105 49 905 672 86 1472 1300 123 2025 1951 13 314 118 50 920 688 87 1487 1318 124 2040 1969 14 332 131 51 936 705 88 1503 1335 125 2055 1987 15 349 145 52 952 721 89 1518 1353 126 2069 2005 16 367 159 53 967 738 90 1533 1370 127 2084 2023 17 384 173 54 983 755 91 1548 1387 128 2099 2041 18 401 187 55 998 771 92 1563 1405 129 2114 2058 19 419 201 56 1014 788 93 1578 1422 130 2128 2076 20 436 216 57 1029 805 94 1593 1440 131 2143 2094 21 453 230 58 1045 822 95 1608 1457 132 2158 2112 22 469 245 59 1060 838 96 1623 1475 133 2173 2130 23 486 260 60 1076 855 97 1638 1492 134 2187 2148 24 503 275 61 1091 872 98 1653 1510 135 2202 2166 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 2174 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI 25 520 290 62 1107 889 99 1668 1527 136 2217 2183 26 536 305 63 1122 906 100 1683 1545 137 2232 2201 27 553 320 64 1137 923 101 1698 1562 138 2246 2219 28 569 335 65 1153 940 102 1713 1580 139 2261 2237 29 585 351 66 1168 957 103 1728 1598 140 2276 2255 30 602 366 67 1184 974 104 1742 1615 141 2291 2273 31 618 382 68 1199 991 105 1757 1633 142 2305 2291 32 634 398 69 1214 1008 106 1772 1650 143 2320 2309 33 651 413 70 1229 1025 107 1787 1668 144 2335 2327 34 667 429 71 1245 1042 108 1802 1686 145 2349 2345 35 683 445 72 1260 1059 109 1817 1703 146 2364 2363 36 699 461 73 1275 1076 110 1832 1721 *) note 2 in H.2.5 NOTE 1: The first column is the number of errors (ne = number of NACK + statDTX) NOTE 2: The second column is the number of samples for the pass limit (nsp, ns=Number of Samples= number of NACK + statDTX + ACK) NOTE 3: The third column is the number of samples for the fail limit (nsf) NOTE 4: The UE could be decided as early pass/fail when at least 67 samples are received. The nsf is set to NA for ne less than 9. H.2.5 Pass fail decision rules The pass fail decision rules apply for a single measurement. A test case is passed only when all the measurements in the test case are passed. Having observed 0 errors, pass the test at 67+ samples, otherwise continue Having observed 1 error, pass the test at 67+ samples, otherwise continue Having observed 2 errors, pass the test at 95+ samples, otherwise continue Etc. etc. Having observed 145 errors, pass the test at 2349+ samples, fail the test at 2345- samples, otherwise continue Having observed 146 errors, pass the test at 2364 + samples, fail the test at 2363- samples. Where x+ means: x or more, x- means x or less NOTE 1: an ideal DUT passes after 67 samples. The maximum test time is 2364 samples. NOTE 2: It is allowed to deviate from the early decision concept by postponing the decision (pass/fail or continue). Postponing the decision to or beyond the end of Table H.2.4-1 requires a pass fail decision against the test limit: pass the DUT for ER<0.0618, otherwise fail. H.2.6 Theory to derive the pass fail limits (Informative) Editor's note: This clause of the Annex H is for information only and it describes the background theory and information for statistical testing. H.2.6.1 Numerical definition of the pass-fail limits A statistical test is characterized by test time, selectivity and confidence level. The outcome of the statistical test is a decision. This decision may be correct, i.e., DUTs whose throughput is less than 95% maximum throughput being declared to fail, and DUTs whose throughput is higher or equal to 95% being declared to pass, or in-correct with opposite decision. The Confidence Level (CL) describes the probability that the decision is a correct one. The complement is the wrong decision probability (risk) D = 1-CL. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 2175 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI As described in H.2.2, the measurement of throughput could be mapped to ER (Error Ratio). When testing ER, transport blocks or "samples" are observed and the number of correctly and erroneously received blocks are recorded. For a "standard" test, a pre-defined number of samples are observed, and a pass/fail decision is made based on the number of observed errors being above/below a threshold. This threshold is based on the targeted throughput or BLER and the design target CL. There is always some risk of a statistical variation leading to an incorrect pass/fail decision. The greater the number of samples that are recorded, the lower is the risk of such an error. The number of samples that are observed in a standard test is dimensioned to achieve an acceptable low risk of error (i.e., an acceptable high confidence level) for DUTs that just meet the specified limit. The standard test works well where the target ER level is relatively high and confidence level relatively low (both are chosen to be on a comparable order of magnitude). However, for relatively low ER testing the length of time required for observing sufficient samples to achieve a 95% confidence level is excessive. In many cases, the DUTs will in fact have a much lower true ER level than the target ER level, (in which case, the number of samples needed to achieve high confidence that the true ER level is lower than the limit is much smaller). On the other hand, a bad DUT which is expected to fail the requirement might have a much higher true ER level (in which case, errors occur more frequently and it can be demonstrated that the DUT is above the target ER limit with fewer samples). To avoid long test time, an alternative test method called early pass/fail is adopted. With the early pass/fail, each time a block error is encountered, a decision is made on whether the DUT can be passed/failed with 95% CL or the test needs to continue until another error is encountered. In the case of very good DUTs, the test can also be passed, when the number of samples permissible for one error event is reached and no error event is recorded. Pass/Fail is decided based on the total number of observed samples and errors, and a statistical calculation based on an inverse binomial cumulative distribution. The calculation involves one parameter, one variable and the result: - Parameter: d (per step decision probability). - Variable: ne (number of observed errors). - Result: ns (number of expected samples for pass/fail, depending on which one is calculated). The per step decision probability risk, d, expresses the probability of making an incorrect pass/fail decision in the current step (i.e., for the current decision coordinate). d is determined by simulation such that the overall risk of making a wrong decision over all steps of each test of a large number of tests on a large number of DUTs that exactly meet the target ER limit is D=5% (and hence the CL 95%). It should be noted that d is determined separately considering early pass and early fail testing. For a marginal DUT (i.e., a DUT almost exactly meeting the target ER level), the unmodified early pass/early fail approach is unable to distinguish whether the DUT has just passed or just failed the BLER (ε→0), and can thus terminate with an "undecided" result. To avoid this undecided result and provide selectivity, a so-called "bad device factor" (M) is introduced into the early pass calculation. This factor biases the decision towards avoiding failing good DUT. H.2.6.2 Simulation to derive the pass-fail limits for testing 95% throughput As per the description in H.2.2, the 95% throughput measurement is mapped to ER=0.05, where ER is (NACK + statDTX)/(NACK+ statDTX + ACK). The binomial distribution and its inverse are used to design the pass and fail limits. Note that this method is not unique and that other methods exist. ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) f f f p p p ne ne fail ne,d := = ns ne+qnbinom d ,ne,ER ne ne pass ne,cl ,M := = ns ne+qnbinom cl ,ne,ER M ⋅ Where - fail(..) is the error ratio for the fail limit. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 2176 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI - pass(..) is the error ratio for the pass limit. - ER is the specified error ratio 5%. - ne is the number of bad results. This is the variable in both equations. - M is the Bad DUT factor M=1.5. - df is the wrong decision probability of a single (ne, ns) co-ordinate for the fail limit. It is found by simulation to be df = 0.006. - clp is the confidence level of a single (ne, ns) co-ordinate for the pass limit. It is found by simulation to be clp = 0.9945. - qnbinom(..): The inverse cumulative function of the negative binomial distribution. The simulation works as follows: - A large population of limit DUTs with true ER = 0.05 is decided against the pass and fail limits. - clp and df are tuned such that CL (95 %) of the population passes and D (5 %) of the population fails. - A population of Bad DUTs with true ER = M*0.05 is decided against the same pass and fail limits. - clp and df are tuned such that CL (95 %) of the population fails and D (5 %) of the population passes. - The number of DUTs decrease during the simulation, as the decided DUTs leave the population. That number decreases with an approximately exponential characteristics. After 146 bad results all DUTs of the population are decided. NOTE: The exponential decrease of the population is an optimal design goal for the decision co-ordinates (ne, ns), which can be achieved with other formulas or methods as well. H.2A Statistical testing of receiver characteristics with CA H.2A.1 General H.2.1 applies. H.2A.2 Mapping throughput to error ratio H.2.2 applies for each component carrier. H.2A.3 Design of the test The test is defined by the following design principles (see clause H.2.6, Theory….): 1. The standard concept is applied. (not the early decision concept). 2. A second limit is introduced, defining the Bad DUT. 3. To decide the test pass: - Supplier risk is applied based on the Bad DUT quality. - To decide the test fail. - Customer Risk is applied based on the specified DUT quality. The test is defined by the following parameters: 1) Limit Error Ratio = 0.05 (95% throughput is tested). 2) Bad DUT factor M=1.5 (selectivity). 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 2177 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI 3) Confidence level CL = 95% (for specified DUT and Bad DUT-quality). H.2A.4 Pass fail decision rules Apply 1003 samples to the DUT per CC. Decide pass per CC in case of ≤ 62 errors, otherwise fail. NOTE 1: The pass fail decision is done individually for each CC. The pass fail decision for one measurement is as follows: pass if all CCs or SCC only according to the test cases pass, otherwise fail. A test case is passed only when all the measurements in the test case are passed. NOTE 2: It is allowed to apply more samples to the DUT, common for all CCs, (e.g. up to an integer number of frames). Use the ratio (62/1003) for the pass fail decision. NOTE 3: 62/1003 = 0.0618, the same test limit is used at the end of Table H.2.4-1. 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 2178 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI Annex I (normative): ModifiedMPR-Behaviour I.1 Indication of ModifiedMPR-Behaviour This annex contains the definitions of the bits in the field modifiedMPR-Behaviour indicated per supported NR band in the IE RF-Parameters [6] by a UE supporting an MPR or A-MPR modified in a given version of this specification.

The following terms should be understood as follows: - Relative phase error: refers to the phase difference between signals at different antenna connectors, which should be ideally 0. It should be understood as for a slot i.e. (slot) relative phase. It is calculated based on DMRS symbols of that slot or on SRS symbols. - Difference of relative phase error: refers to the difference between the relative phase error determined per slot and the relative phase error determined based on the SRS transmitted.

J.2.1 Symbols and subcarriers used Phase error is determined based on DMRS REs (DMRS mapping type A with 3 DMRS symbols per slot, the REs corresponding to the odd subcarriers and DMRS symbols are non-allocated for data or DMRS.) and SRS REs (with 4 SRS symbols in the SRS slot, same SRS resource mapping is used for non-codebook-based and codebook-based precoding). For the DMRS and SRS to occupy identical SCs and maximize their frequency density, DMRS configuration type 1 and SRS comb2 configuration are used. UL RMC described in Annex A.2 is used. J.2.2 CFO (carrier frequency offset) correction The TE performs a CFO correction on a slot-by-slot basis using a common frequency correction at the two uplink antenna connectors. J.2.3 Steps of the measurement method Below are detailed the steps necessary to obtain the maximum difference of relative phase error during the 20ms time window. 1. Determination for each subcarrier and at each antenna, the SRS relative phase error based on the last SRS transmitted on Ant1 and Ant2, that relative phase error serves as a reference for the calculation of the difference of relative phase error for each slot inside the 20 ms time window. - The output is the “SRS relative phase error” vector for the last SRS transmitted: 1 × _ _ . 2. Calculation for the last SRS transmitted, for each RB of the SRS relative phase errors based on the arithmetic mean of the subcarrier SRS relative phase errors determined in previous step. - The output is the “SRS relative phase error” vector for the last SRS transmitted: 1 × _ _ ! . 3. CFO correction on slot-by-slot basis using a common frequency correction for both antenna outputs. 4. Determination for each subcarrier and at each antenna, the phase over the slot being analyzed. The phase is extracted from the channel estimate derived from the 3 DMRS symbols of the slot using the LSE technique. - The output is one vector of dimension 1 × _ _ for each antenna. 5. Calculation for a slot for each subcarrier of the relative phase error (difference between the vectors determined in the previous step). - The output is subcarrier relative phase errors of a slot: 1 × _ _ . 6. Calculation for a slot, for each RB of the relative phase errors based on the arithmetic mean of the subcarrier relative phase errors determined in previous step. - The output is a “slot relative phase error” vector for a slot: 1 × _ _ ! . 7. Calculation for a slot of the difference of relative phase errors based on the “SRS relative phase error” (reference) determined in step 2 and the “slot relative phase error” determined in previous step. - The output is a “difference of relative phase error” vector for a slot: 1 × _ _ ! . 8. Calculation for a slot of the arithmetic mean value of the “difference of relative phase error” vector determined in previous step; this value corresponds to an RB. - The output is a “difference of relative phase error” value for a slot: 1 × 1 . 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 2183 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI 9. Perform for each slot of the 20ms time window, steps 3 to 8. - The output is a “difference of relative phase error” vector: 1 × _ _ " . 10. Calculation of the maximum value of the “difference of relative phase error”. - The output is the “difference of relative phase error” that should be verified as complying with the 40° maximum allowable difference of relative phase error requirement: 1 × 1 . 3GPP TS 38.521-1 version 18.7.0 Release 18 2184 ETSI TS 138 521-1 V18.7.0 (2025-08) ETSI Annex K (informative): Change history Change

1 Scope
|
The present document provides a set of requirements for the session control service capability. The present document does not specify any particular requirement to the signalling protocol. However, it includes a list of general requirements that have to be considered when developing solutions to particular requirements.

4 General requirements
| |
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
4.1 Minimum session setup time
|
All the procedures and mechanisms should have a minimum impact on the session setup time as perceived by the user. When there is a choice between performing tasks at session establishment or in transactions prior to the session establishment, then the tasks should be performed prior to the session establishment. An example of such a task is user authentication.
|
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
4.2 Minimum support required in the terminal
|
As terminals could be rather small and "basic" devices, compliant terminals shall have a minimal capability set. Mandating support for features by the terminal shall meet this requirement. Should terminals have additional capabilities, this shall be made clear during sign-on.
|
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
4.3 Minimum trust put by the network in the terminal
|
As terminals are out of the control of a network operator, the trust put by the network in the terminal for proper functioning of the service shall be kept minimum. Information provided by the terminal shall be labelled as user-provided, information provided by the network shall be labelled as network-provided. Processes using this information will then be able to make sound judgement on the validity of the information. E.g. session measurements provided by the terminal may be suspect in a dispute when there is different information available from the network on the same session.
|
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
4.4 Roaming and non-roaming scenarios
|
In case of nomadism, all the requirements must be met for both roaming and non-roaming scenarios. There should not be a significant change in the signalling procedures between roaming and non-roaming scenarios. ETSI ETSI TS 181 010 V1.1.1 (2005-06) 6
|
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
4.5 Access network independency
|
The network-based session control procedures shall be independent of the access network (and access network technology) where the user is located.
|
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
4.6 Internetworking
|
The services supported by the NGN session control shall be interoperable with other session control protocols (SIP, BICC, ISUP, H323, the 3GPP session control protocol, etc.). However, the requirements related to the support of end to end functionalities defined by these other session control protocols (e.g. overlap signalling in ISUP) with which interworking is desired are not presented in the present document. NGN session control protocols must be able to encapsulate unique, optional or custom elements of the adapted session control, in order to enable complete session management by the providers session control applications. The solution developed for a particular requirement expressed here shall not preclude the NGN control protocol to interwork with another profile of the same protocol. In order to fulfil this requirement, some control may be needed at the boundaries of the administrative domains controlled by the NGN control protocol. The interworking between two administrative domains controlled by the NGN control protocol, shall be supported. In order to fulfil this requirement, some control may be needed at the boundaries of the administrative domain controlled by the NGN control protocol.

5 Signalling Path Requirements
| |
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
5.1 Signalling route
|
The route of the call control signalling shall be hidden from the terminal. Therefore the terminal shall only know of the route to its Session Server. This session server may however act as a proxy to the real session server in the home network. There may be a hot-standby session server, there may be a hot-standby session server proxy. Terminals may be aware of a hot-standby for their sessions.
|
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
5.2 Session Server Routing
|
All signalling messages exchanged during a session initiated by the end user terminal (outgoing session) or during a session initiated toward the end user terminal (incoming session) must transit through the end user terminal's Access Session server, so that the services provided by the Access Session server can be delivered. All signalling messages exchanged during either an outgoing session initiated by the end user terminal or an incoming session to the end user terminal must transit through the end user's Service call server, so that the Service call server can properly trigger the services allocated to that user.
|
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
5.3 Fraud containment
|
There shall be a way to prevent any malicious user from bypassing any network entity in the signalling path and still getting service. ETSI ETSI TS 181 010 V1.1.1 (2005-06) 7

6 Session control procedures
| |
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
6.1 General requirement
|
An end user shall be able to request the establishment of a session with any other end user, of whom it knows the user Name E.164 number of other identifier as in use by the service provider. An end user shall be able to request the termination or modification of any established sessions in which it takes part. NOTE 1: The need for a permanently allocated "private" user identity assigned by the network to an end user, to which the end user does not have access is outside the scope of the present document. Such an identity could be used for purposes such as authentication, authorization, administration, and possibly charging and accounting. NOTE 2: There may be limitations on the ability to modify certain aspects of a session due to billing for reserved resources, scheduling, available route capabilities, etc. If it is desired to modify a session, and mid-session modification is impossible, there should be the option to immediately negotiate and establish a follow-on session with new session parameters.
|
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
6.2 Release of a session by the network
|
The network shall be able to initiate the release of a session of an end user terminal resulting in the release of all resources associated with it (e.g. in pre-paid calls when the user runs out of credit). This may be done without involving any intervention from the terminal. Such a request shall originate the release of all the network resources associated with the session of the end user terminal: bearer resources and signalling resources. It shall be possible to notify other parties involved in the session, if any, of the termination of the session of the end user terminal.
|
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
6.3 Identities used for session establishment
| |
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
6.3.1 Calling user identity
|
The identity of the calling user shall be provided. It shall be possible, for the calling end user, to inform the called party of his user identity. On request of the originating user, the user identity may be withheld. There shall be users for which the user identity will never be withheld. Which parties these are, e.g. emergency services, is a matter of policy.
|
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
6.3.2 Called user identity
|
An end user terminal may be registered under a set of different user identities. As such, sessions destined to the user can be placed to any of the registered user identities. Certain filtering rules or services (done by the network or the called user terminal) may be based on the called user identity. As such, it must be possible, for all sessions, to deliver the user identity used to reach the called party to network entities in the forward direction up to called party terminal. It must also be possible, for all sessions, to deliver the user identity used to reach the called party to network entities in the backward direction up to calling party terminal. There shall be a way for the called end user to request any information related to his identity not to be divulgated to the calling end user or to any not-trusted network entity. Which mode is the default is a matter of policy. ETSI ETSI TS 181 010 V1.1.1 (2005-06) 8
|
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
6.3.3 Open service API
|
It shall be possible to bind third-party service notes to a session server for the purposes of providing service features over and above the basic service. This binding may be performed during registration or possibly later. These feature servers will be interrogated when the event they are registered for occurs. End-users will have given permission explicitly (acceptance of terms of service for the particular feature) or implicitly (lawful interception) for the establishment of these bindings.

|
181 010
|
7 Bearer establishment
|
The session control protocol shall be used in conjunction with a media control protocol that describes the mono or multi media session. Such a media control protocol may be encapsulated in the session control protocol (e.g. SDP and SIP) or invoked in parallel (e.g. H245 and H225). During the session initiation request, the calling user terminal shall give the parameters of the media session it wants to establish. The called user terminal shall have the possibility to participate in the media session parameters negotiation. A terminal receiving a request to establish a media flow may reject the media flow based on its media parameters. It shall be possible to offer multiple sets of media parameters for a particular media flow, the recipient may select one of these. For NGN release 1 there is no requirement for a terminal of network entity to modify the parameters to engage in a negotiation. This may change in future releases.
|
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
7.1 Successful bearer establishment
|
Successful bearer establishment must include the completion of any required end-to-end QoS signalling, negotiation and resource allocation.
|
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
7.2 Network intervention
|
Both the access and the service call server shall have access to the requested media session parameters (e.g. for charging or resource management purposes). The network shall have the possibility to participate in the media session parameters negotiation for the purposes of indicating that this session may or may not be supported by the network at this point in time. Both the access and the service call server shall be able to deny the session establishment due to requested media session parameters. In NGN release 1 it is not required to modify the media parameters for an established session. This may change post Release 1. 7.3 Independency between the session control protocol and QoS/Resource allocation Resource allocation schemes must be independent of the selected session control protocol. This allows for independent evolution. ETSI ETSI TS 181 010 V1.1.1 (2005-06) 9 7.4 Correlation between the session control protocol and QoS/Resource allocation A correlation shall be done between a dialog context in the control plane and, if existing, the resource requests originated by the end user terminal in the transport plane in order to ensure that an end user terminal which is requesting resource allocation has previously been authorized.

10 Security requirements
| |
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
10.1 Authentication
|
An end user shall be authenticated at registration time before the use of signalling resources is authorized. The Service call server is responsible for authenticating the end user. As a consequence, the authentication method must be able to work when there are signalling entities (e.g. the Access call server) in the signalling path between the authenticator and the authenticated user. The end-user shall not be able to use the services if they are not authenticated.
|
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
10.2 Message protection
|
Signalling entities (end user terminals and network entities) shall be able to communicate using integrity protection (ability to verify that the message has not been modified by a non authorized party) and replay protection. Signalling entities (end user terminals and network entities) shall be able to communicate confidentially.
|
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
10.3 Delegation
|
It must be possible to perform an initial authentication of the end user based on long-term authentication credentials, followed by subsequent protected signalling that uses short-term authentication credentials, such as session keys initialized during initial authentication. The used authentication mechanism is able to provide such session keys. ETSI ETSI TS 181 010 V1.1.1 (2005-06) 10 It shall be possible to apply subsequent message protection as soon as possible, even during the initial authentication period. The Service call server that performed the initial authentication must be able to securely delegate subsequent signalling protection (e.g., session keys for integrity or encryption) to the Access call server.
|
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
10.4 Establishment of mechanisms
|
A method must be provided to securely establish the security mechanisms to be used between the end user terminal and the Access call server.
|
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
10.5 Verification of messages
| |
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
10.5.1 Verification at the Access call server
|
The Access call server must be able to guarantee the message origin and verify that the message has not been changed (e.g., it is integrity protected).
|
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
10.5.2 Verification at the Service call server
|
The Service call server needs to receive an indication if the Access call server was able to verify the message origin and whether it was integrity protected or not.
|
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
10.5.3 Confidentiality
|
Mechanisms shall exist so that messages may not be read by unauthorized third parties.
|
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
10.5.4 Prevention of denial of service
|
The risk of a call server to receive a denial of service attack shall be minimized. For instance, a malicious device could learn a call server IP address and port number and establish an attack to that call server.
|
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
10.5.5 Hiding requirement
|
The signalling messages that are sent between administrative domains shall reveal the least information possible about the underlying network configuration. A network operator need not be required to reveal the internal network structure to another network. A network operator need not be required to expose the explicit IP addresses of the nodes within the network (excluding firewalls and border gateways).
|
7155d9633c735a23b3bf00122d45e1b3
|
181 010
|
11 Emergency sessions
|
The establishment of an emergency session by a user shall be technically possible even if this user is not registered and not authenticated. NOTE: Local regulations may prompt a service provider to disable this aspect and hence it shall be possible to disable this for all or particular groups of terminals. ETSI ETSI TS 181 010 V1.1.1 (2005-06) 11

|
12 Lawful interception
|
Sessions shall allow for lawful interception. Depending on the local regulations and the mandates given to the law enforcement officers the session meta-data and/or the media flows shall be available in real-time. • Meta-data shall contain the presentation identities of the participants as well as the unique identifier of the user within the service provider, the terminal identities of all the participants of the session, the media flows opened as well as their end-point addresses. As well as the terminal locations shall be made available. • The media content shall be provided at the handoff point as transported. If the service provider provides and encryption service (i.e. is aware of the encryption method and the keys) the media shall be offered decrypted.
