      •  [34.121 Call Config] Set Ack-Nack Repetition Factor to 3 .
      •  [34.121 Call Config] Set CQI Feedback Cycle (k) to 4 ms .
      •  [34.121 Call Config] Set CQI Repetition Factor to 2 .
  7.  Test Application: Select Cell Parameters ( F2 ).
    Lab Application: Select Cell Info ( F2 ), then Cell Parameters ( F2 ).
    (from the Call Control 2 of 6 menu)
       
    • Set PS Domain Information to Present (this is the default value in the lab application).
    •  Qqualmin and Qrxlevmin are fixed to -24 dB and -115 dBm, respectively, in the test application. In the lab application these are the default values for these parameters. They are accessible from Cell Info , Reselection Parameters ( F3 ).
  8.  [34.121 Call Config] Select RB Test Mode Setup ( F6 on Call Control 3 of 6 ) and set UE Loopback Type to Type 1 (this is the default value).

  10.  Set any other parameters needed to establish a connection with your UE, then power on the UE and wait for it to register (attach). See Establishing an HSPA Connection .
    Note, before you can establish a connection in the PS domain (as is required for HSPA connections), the UE must attach to the test set. To enable this, the PS Domain Information parameter must be set to Present when the UE registers (attaches) with the test set.
  11.  Select Originate Call ( F3 on Call Control 1 of 6 ).
  12.  Drive the UE to 15 dBm +/- 2 dB output power:

    •  Set UE Target Power ( F7 on Call Parms 3 of 3 ) to 1 dBm (for 34.121-1 v8.10.0 Table C.11.1.3 sub-test 1). This value is determined as follows: UE Target Power only sets the DPCCH+DPDCH power level of the UE. In order to achieve a total output power of +15 dBm +/-24 dB, you must set UE Target Power to 15 dBm - Power change due to HS-DPCCH, E-DPCCH and E-DPDCH .
      Power Change Due to HS-DPCCH, E-DPCCH and E-DPDCH = 10log 10 (Beta c ^2 + Beta d ^2 + Beta hs ^2 + Beta ec ^2 + Beta ed ^2) - 10log 10 (Beta d ^2 + Beta c ^2) = 14 dB for sub-test 1, so you must set UE Target Power to 1 dBm for sub-test 1.
      The UE Target Power values for sub-tests 2-4 are as follows: sub-test 2: 10 dBm, sub-test 3: 2 dBm, sub-test 4: 13 dBm.

This value is determined as follows: Maximum power for a power class 3 UE is +24 dBm, but UE Target Power only sets the DPCCH+DPDCH power level of the UE. In order to achieve a total output power of +16.5 dBm (24 dBm - 7.5 dB as required in 34.121-1 s5.2B.4.2), you must set UE Target Power to at most 16.5 dBm - Power change due to HS-DPCCH, E-DPCCH and E DPDCH.

       Power Change Due to HS-DPCCH, E-DPCCH and E-DPDCH = 10log 10 (Beta c ^2 + Beta d ^2 + Beta hs ^2 + Beta ec ^2 + Beta ed1 ^2 + Beta ed2 ^2 + Beta ed3 ^2 + Beta ed4 ^2) - 10log 10 (Beta d ^2 + Beta c ^2) = 13.4 dB for sub-test 1, so you must set UE Target Power to 3 dBm for sub-test 1.

    •  Set UE Target Power ( F7 on Call Parms 3 of 3 ) to 1 dBm (for 34.121-1 v8.10.0 Table C.11.1.3 sub-test 1). This value is determined as follows: UE Target Power only sets the DPCCH+DPDCH power level of the UE. In order to achieve a total output power of +15 dBm, you must set UE Target Power to at most 15 dBm - Power change due to HS-DPCCH, E-DPCCH and E-DPDCH .
      Power Change Due to HS-DPCCH, E-DPCCH and E-DPDCH = 10log 10 (Beta c ^2 + Beta d ^2 + Beta hs ^2 + Beta ec ^2 + Beta ed ^2) - 10log 10 (Beta d ^2 + Beta c ^2) = 14 dB for sub-test 1, so you must set UE Target Power to 1 dBm for sub-test 1.
      The UE Target Power values for sub-tests 2-4 are as follows: sub-test 2: 10 dBm, sub-test 3: 2 dBm, sub-test 4: 13 dBm.

 Measuring 3GPP TS 34.121-1 (v8.10.0) s5.13.2C Relative Code Domain Error for HS-DPCCH and E-DCH with 16QAM

 This section is applicable to the lab application or feature-licensed test application only.

 Relative Code Domain Error for HS-DPCCH and E-DCH with 16QAM from 3GPP TS 34.121-1 s5.13.2C measures RCDE on any release 7 or later UE that supports E-DCH category 7, 16QAM with HSUPA.

 The test is performed with the UE transmitting at maximum power and then repeated with the UE transmitting at -18 dBm.

     
  1. Set parameters that can only be set in cell off operating mode (and other parameters that are set from the same menu):
       
    • Set Operating Mode ( F1 ) to Cell Off .
    •  Select 34.121 Preset Call Configurations ( F11 on Call Parms 1 of 3 ) and select 5.13.1AAA, 5.13.2C:HSPA+:UL 16QAM . You may then skip any steps marked with [34.121 Call Config] in this procedure.
    •  Select Channel (UARFCN) Parms ( F12 on Call Parms 1 of 3 ). Set DL Channel ( F7 ) to the appropriate "low range" frequency for your UE's operating band, as specified by 3GPP TS 34.108 s5.1.1 (for example, for operating band II set DL Channel = 9663 ).
    •  [34.121 Call Config] Select Uplink Parameters ( F4 on Call Control 2 of 6 ).
         
      • [34.121 Call Config] Set Uplink DPCH Bc/Bd Control to Manual .
      •  [34.121 Call Config] Set Manual Uplink DPCH Bc to 15 (for 34.121-1 v8.10.0 table C.11.1.4 sub-test 1).
      •  [34.121 Call Config] Manual Uplink DPCH Bd can remain at its default value. 34.121-1 v8.10.0 table C.11.1.4 sub-test 1 requires Beta d set to zero. This is configured by selecting a DL channel type with no DPDCH. The value set here for Beta d is not used because no DL DPDCH is generated.
      •  [34.121 Call Config] Set Maximum Uplink Transmit Power Level to +21 dBm .
    •  Set Operating Mode to Active Cell (pressing the CALL SETUP key quickly brings you back to the top level Call Control menu).
  2.  Set Cell Power ( F7 on Call Parms 1 of 3 ) to -86 dBm/3.84 MHz .
  3.  [34.121 Call Config] Set Channel Type ( F8 ) to HSPA .
  4.  [34.121 Call Config] Select Generator Info ( F3 on Call Control 2 of 6 ), select Connected DL Channel Levels ( F4 ), and then select HSPA Conn DL Channel Levels ( F5 ).

    •  [34.121 Call Config] Set HS-SCCH 3 Channel Config State to Off .
    •  [34.121 Call Config] Set HS-SCCH 4 Channel Config State to Off .
  6.  [34.121 Call Config] Select HSUPA Parameters ( HSPA Parameters ( F10 ), F9 ).
       
    • [34.121 Call Config] Select HSUPA RB Test Mode Setup ( F8 ).
         
      • [34.121 Call Config] Set RB Test Mode E RGCH Information State to Off (this is the default value).
      •  [34.121 Call Config] Set RB E DPDCH Max Channel Codes (HSPA) to 2SF2 + 2SF4 (this is the default value).
      •  [34.121 Call Config] Set E-DCH RLC SDU Size to 8808 .
    •  [34.121 Call Config] Select Common HSUPA Parameters ( F9 ).
         
      • [34.121 Call Config] Set E-DCH TTI to 2 ms.
      •  [34.121 Call Config] Set E-DCH 16QAM State to On .
      •  [34.121 Call Config] Set E-DPCCH/DPCCH Power Offset (DeltaE-DPCCH) to 8 (for 34.121-1 v8.10.0 table C.11.1.4 sub-test 1). Note, 34.121-1 table C.11.1.4 provides Beta ec (30/15 for sub-test 1). To determine what value of DeltaE-DPCCH corresponds to this, use 3GPP TS 25.213 table 1B and the value of Beta c from 34.121-1 table C.11.1.4 (15/15 for sub-test 1). For sub-test 1, A ec = Beta ec /Beta c = (30/15)/(15/15) = 30/15; therefore DeltaE-DPCCH = 8.
      •  [34.121 Call Config] Set E-TFCI Table Index (2 ms TTI with 16QAM) to 2 (this is the default value).
      •  [34.121 Call Config] Set Reference E-TFCI Power Offset Control to Predefined (this is the default value).
      •  [34.121 Call Config] Set Reference E-TFCI Power Offsets to Definition 34.121-04 (for 34.121-1 v8.10.0 table C.11.1.4 sub-test 1). 34.121-1 v8.10.0 table 5.2E.2 is used for this configuration; however, this table is identical to 34.121-1 table 5.13.2C.4.
      •  [34.121 Call Config] Set E-TFCI Boost Information State to On .
      •  [34.121 Call Config] Set E-TFCI Boost Value to 105 .

      •  [34.121 Call Config] Set E-DPDCH Power Calculation Formula to Extrapolation (this is the default value).
    •  [34.121 Call Config] Select Serving Grant ( F10 ).
         
      • [34.121 Call Config] Set AG Mode to Single Shot (this is the default value).
      •  [34.121 Call Config] Set Single Shot AG to 14: (75/15)^2 (for 34.121-1 v8.10.0 table C.11.1.4 sub-test 1).
      •  [34.121 Call Config] Set RB Setup AG to 17: (75/15)^2 (for 34.121-1 v8.10.0 table C.11.1.4 sub-test 1). Note, 34.121-1 table C.11.1.4 AG Index corresponds to 3GPP TS 25.212 s4.10.1A.1 table 16B.1, which maps the Absolute Grants sent on the E-AGCH. To send the equivalent Absolute Grant in the RB Setup message, you must use the AG Index in 3GPP TS 25.321 s9.2.5.2.1.1 table 9.2.5.2.1.2.
  7.  [34.121 Call Config] Select HSDPA Parameters ( HSPA Parameters ( F10 ), F10 ).
       
    • [34.121 Call Config] Select HSDPA RB Test Mode Setup ( F8 ) then HSDPA RB Test Mode Settings ( F8 ).
         
      • [34.121 Call Config] Set HS-DSCH Configuration Type to FRC (this is the default value).
      •  [34.121 Call Config] Set FRC Type to H-Set 1 QPSK (this is the default value).
    •  [34.121 Call Config] Return ( F12 ) then select MAC-(e)hs Parameters ( F10 ).
         
      • [34.121 Call Config] Set Number of Transmissions to 4 (this is the default value).
      •  [34.121 Call Config] Set RV Sequence to 0,2,5,6,0,0,0,0 (this is the default value).

      •  [34.121 Call Config] Set Ack-Nack Repetition Factor to 3 .
      •  [34.121 Call Config] Set CQI Feedback Cycle (k) to 4 ms .
      •  [34.121 Call Config] Set CQI Repetition Factor to 2 .
  8.  Test Application: Select Cell Parameters ( F2 ).

     Lab Application: Select Cell Info ( F2 ) , then Cell Parameters ( F2 ) from the Call Control 2 of 6 menu.

       
    • Set PS Domain Information to Present (this is the default value in the lab application).
    •  Qqualmin and Qrxlevmin are fixed to -24 dB and -115 dBm, respectively, in the test application. In the lab application these are the default values for these parameters. They are accessible from Cell Info , Reselection Parameters ( F3 ).
  9.  [34.121 Call Config] Select RB Test Mode Setup ( F6 on Call Control 3 of 6 ) and set UE Loopback Type to Type 1 (this is the default value).
  10.  [34.121 Call Config] Select UL CL Power Ctrl Parameters ( F8 on Call Parms 3 of 3 ) and set UL CL Power Ctrl Algorithm to Two (this is the default value).
  11.  Set any other parameters needed to establish a connection with your UE, then power on the UE and wait for it to register (attach).
  12.  Select Originate Call ( F3 on Call Control 1 of 6 ).
  13.  Select UL CL Power Ctrl Parameters ( F8 on Call Parms 3 of 3 ) and set UL CL Power Ctrl Mode to Active bits (this is the default value).
  14.  Drive the UE to maximum power:
       
    • Select UL CL Power Ctrl Parameters ( F8 on Call Parms 3 of 3 ) and set UL CL Power Ctrl Mode to Active bits (this is the default value).
    •  Set UE Target Power ( F7 on Call Parms 3 of 3 ) to 3 dBm (for 34.121-1 v8.10.0 table C.11.1.4 sub-test 1, power class 3 UE). This value is determined as follows: Maximum power for a power class 3 UE is +24 dBm, but UE Target Power only sets the DPCCH+DPDCH power level of the UE. In order to achieve a total output power of +16.5 dBm (24 dBm - 7.5 dB as required by 34.121-1 s5.2B.4.2), you must set UE Target Power to at most 16.5 dBm - Power change due to HS-DPCCH, E-DPCCH and E-DPDCH.

       Power Change Due to HS-DPCCH, E-DPCCH and E-DPDCH = 10log 10 (Beta c ^2 + Beta d ^2 + Beta hs ^2 + Beta ec ^2 + Beta ed1 ^2 + Beta ed2 ^2 + Beta ed3 ^2 + Beta ed4 ^2) - 10log 10 (Beta d ^2 + Beta c ^2) = 13.4 dB for sub-test 1, so you must set UE Target Power to 3 dBm for sub-test 1.

    •  Wait 150 ms.
    •  Press the Measurement selection key and select Channel Power .
    •  Set up the measurement:
         
      • Select Channel Power Setup ( F1 ).
      •  Set Auto Range = On (or leave Auto Range = Off and set Manual Power Range to the Power Change Due to HS-DPCCH, E-DPCCH and E-DPDCH value calculated above).
      •  Select Close Menu ( F6 ).
    •  Observe Channel Power to ensure that the UE's output power is at least 7.5 dB below maximum power (<16.5 dBm for power class 3 UEs).
    •  Select UL CL Power Ctrl Parameters ( F8 on Call Parms 3 of 3 ). Set UL CL Power Ctrl Mode to Alternating bits .
    •  Select Additional Screens ( F1 from Call Control 2 of 6 ), select HSPA Information ( F2 ) and observe the Last Received E-TFCI (it should be 105 for 34.121-1 v8.10.0 table C.11.1.4 sub-test 1).
    •  Select E-TFCI Recording Informatio n ( F3 ).
    •  Select HSPA Parameters ( F10 ), HSUPA Parameters ( F9 ), E-TFCI Recording ( F11 ), E-TFCI Recording Parameters ( F7 ).
         
      • [34.121 Call Config] Set E-TFCI Recording Count to 15 (this is the default value).
      •  Set E-TFCI Recording Behavior to All .
      •  Select Send Step Up TPC Bit Pattern ( F10 ) and then Start Recording E-TFCI Values ( F8 ).
      •  Observe whether the UE sent any decreased E-TFCI. If not, send another up TPC bit and record E-TFCI. Repeat until the UE sends at least one decreased E-TFCI.
      •  Select Send Step Down TPC Bit Pattern ( F11 ) and then Start Recording E-TFCI Values ( F8 ).
      •  Observe whether the UE sent any decreased E-TFCI. If it did, then send another down TPC bit, then continue to the next step. If not, continue to the next step.
      •  Confirm that the E-TFCI is equal to the target E-TFCI of 105 for sub-test 1. If not, fail the UE. Note that an E-TFCI of 105 corresponds to a transport block size of 9185 bits (3GPP TS 25.321 table B.2a). The corresponding uplink data rate is 9185 bits/2 ms = 4.59 Mbps.
  15.  Press the Measurement selection key and select Code Domain .
       
    • Select Code Domain Setup ( F1 ).
         
      • Set Transient Period to Exclude .
      •  Set Trigger Source to Even Frame .
    •  Show NCDP and ECDP by selecting Graph Control ( F2 ) and setting Table ( F3 ) = 2 so that you can compare NCDP and ECDP with 3GPP TS 34.121-1 table 5.13.2C.7.
    •  Use the Marker ( F2 under Graph Control ( F2 ) ) to ensure that RCDE for each code channel meets the specified requirements in 34.121-1 tables 5.13.2C.8 and 5.13.2C.9.
    •  The code channels are located as follows:
  16.  Select UL CL Power Ctrl Parameters ( F8 on Call Parms 3 of 3 ) and set UL CL Power Ctrl Mode to Active bits (this is the default value).
  17.  Set UE Target Power ( F7 on Call Parms 3 of 3 ) to -31 dBm . This value is determined as follows: 34.121-1 s5.13.1AAA requires a UE output power of -18 dBm, but UE Target Power only sets the DPCCH+DPDCH power level of the UE. In order to achieve a total output power of -18 dBm, you must set UE Target Power to at most -18 dBm - Power change due to HS-DPCCH, E-DPCCH and E DPDCH.Power Change Due to HS-DPCCH, E-DPCCH and E-DPDCH = 10log 10 (Beta c ^2 + Beta d ^2 + Beta hs ^2 + Beta ec ^2 + Beta ed1 ^2 + Beta ed2 ^2 + Beta ed3 ^2 + Beta ed4 ^2) - 10log 10 (Beta d ^2 + Beta c ^2) = 13.4 dB for sub-test 1, so you must set UE Target Power to -31 dBm .
  18.  Select UL CL Power Ctrl Parameters ( F8 on Call Parms 3 of 3 ) and set UL CL Power Ctrl Mode to Alternating bits .
  19.  Measure RCDE:
       
    • Show NCDP and ECDP by selecting Graph Control ( F2 ) and setting Table ( F3 ) = 2 so that you can compare NCDP and ECDP with 3GPP TS 34.121 table 5.13.2C.7.
    •  Use the Marker ( F2 under Graph Control ( F2 ) ) to ensure that RCDE for each code channel meets the specified requirements in 34.121-1 tables 5.13.2C.8 and 5.13.2C.9.
  20.  To repeat the test case at "mid range" and "high range" frequencies, use Physical Channel Reconfig ( F5 on Call Control 1 of 6 , F1 ) to perform a hard handover to the next channel. Set the Handover Downlink Channel (UARFCN) and Handover Uplink Channel (UARFCN) parameters to the appropriate "mid range" or "high range" frequencies for your UE's operating band, as specified by 3GPP TS 34.108 s5.1.1. Execute Handover ( F5 ) and then repeat steps 13 through 19.
