ETSI
3 version 15.4.1 Release 15
The measurement results returned by the test system are compared - without any modification - against the test
requirements as defined by either the “Never fail a good DUT” principle for test tolerance equal to measurement
uncertainty (TT = MU) or “Shared Risk” principle for Test Tolerance equal to 0 (TT = 0) Test tolerances lower that
measurement uncertainty and greater than 0 (0 < TT < MU) are also considered in this specification..
The “Never fail a good DUT” and the “Shared Risk”principles are defined in Recommendation ITU-R M.1545 [6].
4.2 Applicability of minimum requirements
a) In this specification 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) Terminal that supports EN-DC configuration shall meet E-UTRA requirements as specified in TS 36.101 [4] and
NR requirements as in TS 38.101-1 [2] and TS 38.101-2 [3] unless otherwise specified in this specification.e) All
the requirements for intra-band contiguous and non-contiguous CA apply under the assumption of the same
uplink-downlink and special subframe configurations in the PCell and SCells for SA.
e) All the requirements for intra-band contiguous and non-contiguous EN-DC apply under the assumption of the
same uplink-downlink and special subframe configurations in the E-UTRA and slot format indicated by UL-DL-
configuration-common in the NR for the EN-DC.
f) For EN-DC combinations with CA configuarations for E-UTRA and/or NR, all the requirements for E-UTRA
and/or NR all the requirements for E-UTRA and/or NR intra-band contiguous and non-contiguous CA apply
under the assumption of the same slot format indicated by UL-DL-configuration-common in the PSCell and
SCells for NR and the same uplink-downlink and special subframe configurations in Pcell and SCells for E-
UTRA.
A terminal which supports an inter-band EN-DC configuration shall support all apecified E-UTRA bandwidth
combination set that belong to the E-UTRA CA configuration part of E-UTRA – NR DC and shall support all apecified
NR bandwidth combination set that belong to the NR CA configuration part of E-UTRA – NR DC.
A terminal which supports an inter-band EN-DC configuration with a certain UL configuration shall support the all
lower order DL configurations of the lower order EN-DC combinations, which have this certain UL configuration and
the fallbacks of this UL configuration.
Terminal that supports inter-band NR-DC between FR1 and FR2 configuration shall meet the requirements for
corresponding CA configuration (suffix A), unless otherwise specified.
