7.5 Adjacent Channel Selectivity (ACS)

7.5.1 Test purpose
Adjacent channel selectivity tests the UE's ability to receive data with a given average throughput for a specified
reference measurement channel, in the presence of an adjacent channel signal at a given frequency offset from the
centre frequency of the assigned channel, under conditions of ideal propagation and no added noise.
A UE unable to meet the throughput requirement under these conditions will decrease the coverage area when other e-
NodeB transmitters exist in the adjacent channel.
7.5.2 Test applicability

This test applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 8 and forward.
7.5.3 Minimum conformance requirements

Adjacent Channel Selectivity (ACS) is a measure of a receiver's ability to receive an E-UTRA 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).
The UE shall fulfil the minimum requirement specified in Table 7.5.3-1 for all values of an adjacent channel interferer
up to –25 dBm. However it is not possible to directly measure the ACS, instead the lower and upper range of test
parameters are chosen in Table 7.5.3-2 and Table 7.5.3-3 where the throughput Rav shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum
throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annexes A.2.2, A.2.3 and A.3.2 (with one sided
dynamic OCNG Pattern OP.1 FDD/TDD for the DL-signal as described in Annex A.5.1.1/A.5.2.1). For operating bands
with an unpaired DL part (as noted in Table 5.2-1), the requirements only apply for carriers assigned in the paired part.

7.5.4 Test description

7.5.4.1 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, and channel bandwidths based on
E-UTRA bands specified in table 5.4.2.1-1. All of these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters
for each channel bandwidth, and are shown in table 7.5.4.1-1. The details of the uplink and downlink reference
measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annexes A.2 and A.3 respectively. The details of the OCNG patterns
used are specified in Annex A.5. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex
C.2.

Note 1: Test Channel Bandwidths are checked separately for each E-UTRA band, which
applicable channel bandwidths are specified in Table 5.4.2.1-1.
Note 2: Depending on E-UTRA band, only the appropriate Uplink RB allocation value according
to table 7.3.3-2 is tested per Test Channel Bandwidth. The allocation shall be located as
close as possible to the downlink operating band but confined within the transmission
bandwidth configuration for the channel bandwidth (Table 5.4.2-1).
Note 3: For the DL signal one sided dynamic OCNG Pattern OP.1 FDD/TDD is used.
Note 4: Applicable only to E-UTRA FDD Bands 31 and 72. The UL resource blocks shall be
located at RBstart 10 (according to Table 7.3.3-2).
1. Connect the SS and interfering source to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Figure A.4.
2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.4.3.
3. Downlink signals are initially set up according to Annex C0, C.1 and C.3.1, and uplink signals according to
Annex H.1 and H.3.1.
4. The UL and DL Reference Measurement channels are set according to Table 7.5.4.1-1.
5. Propagation conditions are set according to Annex B.0.
6. Ensure the UE is in State 3A-RF according to TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.2. Message contents are defined in
clause 7.5.4.3.
7.5.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table
7.5.4.1-1. 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 for C_RNTI to
schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.5.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE transmits
uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.
Release 15 175 3GPP TS 36.521-1 V15.3.1 (2018-09)
3. Set the Downlink signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5.5-2 (Case 1). Send Uplink power control
commands to the UE (less or equal to 1dB step size should be used), to ensure that the UE output power is within
+0, - 3.4 dB of the target level in Table 7.5.5-2 (Case 1) for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or within +0, -4.0 dB of
the target level for carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz, for at least the duration of the Throughput
measurement.
4. Set the Interferer signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5.5-2 (Case 1) and frequency below the wanted
signal, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D of the present document.
5. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex
G.2.
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 7.5.5-3 (Case 2). Send Uplink power control
+0, - 3.4 dB of the target level in Table 7.5.5-3 (Case 2) for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or within +0, -4.0 dB of
measurement.
8. Set the Interferer signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5.5-3 (Case 2) and frequency below the wanted
G.2.
11. Repeat for applicable channel bandwidths and operating band combinations in both Case 1 and Case 2.

7.5A Adjacent Channel Selectivity (ACS) for CA

7.5A.0 Minimum conformance requirements
For inter-band carrier aggregation with one component carrier per operating band and the uplink assigned to one E-
UTRA band, the adjacent channel requirements are defined with the uplink active on the band(s) other than the band
whose downlink is being tested. The UE shall meet the requirements specified in subclause 7.5.3 for each component
carrier while all downlink carriers are active. For E-UTRA CA configurations including an operating band without
uplink operation or an operating band with an unpaired DL part (as noted in Table 5.2-1), the requirements for all
downlinks shall be met with the single uplink carrier active in each band capable of UL operation. For a component
carrier configured in Band 46, the requirements specified in subclause 7.5.3 are replaced by the requirements in Table
7.5A.0-1a with test parameters in Table 7.5A.0-2a and Table 7.5A.0-3a.

OCNG Pattern OP.1 FDD/TDD as described in Annex A.5.1.1/A.5.2.1 and set-up according to Annex C.3.1.
For E-UTRA CA configurations listed in Table 7.3A.0-0a under conditions for which reference sensitivity for the
operating band being tested is N/A, the adjacent channel requirements of subclause 7.5A.0 do not apply.
For intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation the downlink SCC(s) shall be configured at nominal channel spacing to
the PCC. For FDD, the PCC shall be configured closest to the uplink band. All downlink carriers shall be active
throughout the test. The uplink output power shall be set as specified in Table 7.5A.0-2 or Table 7.5A.0-3 with the
uplink configuration set according to Table 7.3A.0-1 for the applicable carrier aggregation configuration. For UE(s)
supporting one uplink carrier, the uplink configuration of the PCC shall be in accordance with Table 7.3.3-2. The UE
shall fulfil the minimum requirement specified in Table 7.5A.0-1 for an adjacent channel interferer on either side of the
aggregated downlink signal at a specified frequency offset and for an interferer power up to -25 dBm. 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 and A.3.2 (with one sided dynamic OCNG Pattern OP.1 FDD/TDD for the DL-signal as described in
Annex A.5.1.1/A.5.2.1) with parameters specified in Tables 7.5A.0-2 and 7.5A.0-3. For operating bands with an
unpaired DL part (as noted in Table 5.2-1), the requirements also apply for an SCC assigned in the unpaired part with
parameters specified in Tables 7.5A.0-2 and 7.5A.0-3.
For intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation with one uplink carrier and two downlink sub-blocks, each larger
than or equal to 5 MHz, the adjacent channel selectivity requirements are defined with the uplink configuration in
accordance with Table 7.3A.0-3. For this uplink configuration, the UE shall meet the requirements for each sub-block as
specified in subclauses 7.5.3 and 7.5A.0 for one component carrier and two component carriers per sub-block,
respectively. The UE shall fulfil the minimum requirements all values of a single adjacent channel interferer in-gap and
out-of-gap up to a –25 dBm interferer power while all downlink carriers are active. For the lower range of test
parameters (Case 1), the interferer power Pinterferer shall be set to the maximum of the levels given by the carriers of the
Release 15 180 3GPP TS 36.521-1 V15.3.1 (2018-09)
respective sub-blocks as specified in Table 7.5.3-2 and Table 7.5A.0-2 for one component carrier and two component
carriers per sub-block, respectively. The wanted signal power levels for the carriers of each sub-block shall then be
adjusted relative to Pinterferer in accordance with the ACS requirement for each sub-block (Table 7.5.3-1 and Table 7.5A.0-
1). For the upper range of test parameters (Case 2) for which the interferer power Pinterferer is -25 dBm (Table 7.5.3-3 and
Table 7.5A.0-3) the wanted signal power levels for the carriers of each sub-block shall be adjusted relative to P interferer
like for Case 1.

For combinations of intra-band and inter-band carrier aggregation with up to five downlink carriers (up to four non-
contiguously aggregated carriers per band and up to four contiguously aggregated carriers per band) and one uplink
carrier assigned to one E-UTRA band, the requirement is defined with the uplink active in each band other than that
supporting the downlink(s) under test. The uplink configuration shall be in accordance with Table 7.3A.0-3 when the
Release 15 181 3GPP TS 36.521-1 V15.3.1 (2018-09)
uplink is active in the band supporting two non-contiguous component carriers, Table 7.3A.0-1 when the uplink is
active in a band supporting two contiguous component carriers and in accordance with Table 7.3.3-2 when the uplink is
active in a band supporting one carrier per band. The downlink PCC shall be configured closer to the uplink operating
band than the downlink SCC(s) when the uplink is active in band(s) supporting contiguous aggregation of up to four
component carriers. For these uplink configurations, the UE shall meet the adjacent channel selectivity requirements for
intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation of two downlink sub-blocks with RIBNC = 0 dB for all sub-block gaps
(Table 7.3A.0-3) for the two non-contiguous downlink sub-blocks, the requirements for intra-band contiguous carrier
aggregation for the contiguously aggregated downlink carriers and for any remaining component carrier(s) the
requirements specified in subclause 7.5.3. For contiguously aggregated component carriers configured in Band 46, the
said requirements for intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation of downlink carriers are replaced by requirements in
Table 7.5A.0-4 with test parameters in Table 7.5A.0-5 and Table 7.5A.0-6. For non-contiguously aggregated component
carriers configured in Band 46, the said requirements are applied to each sub-block for in-gap and out-of-gap
interferers. For the sub-block with a single component carrier, the requirement is replaced by Table 7.5A.0-1a with test
parameters in Table 7.5A.0-1b and Table 7.5A.0-1c. For the sub-block with two or more contiguous component carriers,
the requirement is replaced by Table 7.5A.0-4 with test parameters in Table 7.5A.0-5 and Table 7.5A.0-6. All downlink
carriers shall be active throughout the tests and the requirements for downlinks shall be met with the single uplink
carrier active in each band capable of UL operation.

1. Configure SCC according to Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.1 for all downlink physical channels.
2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 36.508 [7] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause
7.5A.1.4.3.
3. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC-CE (Refer TS 36.321 [13], clauses 5.13, 6.1.3.8). Wait for at
least 2 seconds (Refer TS 36.133, clauses 8.3.3.2).
4. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Tables
7.5A.1.4.1-1 on both PCC and SCC. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.
schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.5A.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 for PCC and SCC to the value as defined in Table 7.5A.1.5-2 (Case 1). Send
Uplink power control commands to the UE (less or equal to 1dB step size should be used), to ensure that for at
least the duration of the Throughput measurement:
The PCC output power is within (+0dB, -3.4 dB) of (target level in Table 7.5A.1.5-2 (Case 1) +
10log(P_LCRB/NRB_alloc)), for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz,
or within (+0dB, -4 dB) of (target level in Table 7.5A.1.5-2 (Case 1) + 10log(P_LCRB/NRB_alloc)) for carrier
frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz.
The SCC output power is within (+0dB, -3.4 dB) of (target level in Table 7.5A.1.5-2 (Case 1) +

Annex G.2.


For inter-band carrier aggregation with uplink assigned to one E-UTRA band, the adjacent channel requirements are
defined with the uplink active on the band other than the band whose downlink is being tested i.e. the requirements are
tested only for the SCell downlink. The UE shall meet the requirement specified in Table 7.5A.3.5-1 (originated from
the single carrier Table 7.5.3.5-1), or the requirement specified in Table 7.5A.3.5-1a for operating band 46, with the test
parameters specified in Tables 7.5A.3.5-2 and 7.5A.3.5-3 (originated from the single carrier Tables 7.5.5-2 and 7.5.5-3),
or with the test parameters specified in Tables 7.5A.3.5-2a and 7.5A.3.5-3a for operating band 46, for each component
carrier, when operated as SCell, while both downlink carriers are active.
The test requirements do not apply when the interfering signal overlaps with the channel bandwidth of any downlink

7.5B Adjacent Channel Selectivity (ACS) for UL-MIMO

7.5B.1 Test purpose
Adjacent channel selectivity tests the ability of UE that support UL-MIMO to receive data with a given average
throughput for a specified reference measurement channel, in the presence of an adjacent channel signal at a given
frequency offset from the centre frequency of the assigned channel, under conditions of ideal propagation and no added
noise.
7.5B.2 Test applicability

This test applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 10 and forward that support UL-MIMO.
7.5B.3 Minimum conformance requirements

For UE(s) with two transmitter antenna connectors in closed-loop spatial multiplexing scheme, the minimum
requirements in Clause 7.5.3 shall be met with the UL-MIMO configurations specified in Table 6.2.2B.3-2. For UL-
MIMO, the parameter PCMAX_L is defined as the total transmitter power over the two transmit antenna connectors.
The normative reference for this requirement is TS 36.101 [2] clause 7.5.1B.

7.5F.2 Test applicability

This test case applies to all types of UE release 13 and forward of category NB1 UE.
7.5F.3 Minimum conformance requirements

Adjacent Channel Selectivity (ACS) is a measure of a receiver's ability to receive a 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).
Category NB1 UE shall fulfil the minimum requirement specified in Table 7.5F.3-1 for all values of an adjacent channel
test parameters are chosen in Table 7.5F.3-1 where the throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the
reference measurement channel as specified in Annex A.3.2.

7.6 Blocking characteristics

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 occur.
Release 15 270 3GPP TS 36.521-1 V15.3.1 (2018-09)
7.6.1 In-band blocking

7.6.1.1 Test Purpose
In-band blocking is defined for an unwanted interfering signal falling into the range from 15MHz below to 15MHz
above the UE receive band, 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 e-NodeB transmitters exist (except in
the adjacent channels and spurious response).

7.6.1EA.4.2 Test Procedure

1. SS transmits PDSCH via MPDCCH DCI format 6-1A for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table
7.6.1EA.4.1-1. The SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC. The SS sends 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.
2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via MPDCCH DCI format 6-0A for
C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.6.1EA.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload data to send,
to Tables 7.6.1EA.5-1 and 7.6.1EA.5-2.
4. Set the downlink signal level according to the table 7.6.1EA.5-1. Send uplink power control commands to the
the target level in table 7.6.1EA.5-1 for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz or within +0, -4.0 dB of the target level for

band whose downlink is being tested. The UE shall meet the requirements specified in subclause 7.6.3 for each
component carrier while all downlink carriers are active. For E-UTRA CA configurations including an operating band
without uplink band or an operating band with an unpaired DL part (as noted in Table 5.2-1), the requirements for all
downlinks shall be met with the single uplink carrier active in each band capable of UL operation. For E-UTRA CA
configurations listed in Table 7.3A.0-0a under conditions for which reference sensitivity for the operating band being
tested is N/A, the narrow-band blocking requirements of subclause 7.6.3A.0 do not apply. For E-UTRA CA
configurations with a component carrier assigned in Band 46, narrow-band blocking requirements do not apply in the
presence of a narrow-band interferer in Band 46.

the uplink configuration of the PCC shall be in accordance with Table 7.3.3-2.
The UE shall fulfil the minimum requirement in presence of an interfering signal specified in Table 7.6.3A.0-1 being on
either side of the aggregated signal. 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 and A.3.2 (with one sided dynamic OCNG Pattern

assigned in the unpaired part with parameters specified in Table 7.6.3A.0-1.
For intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation with one uplink carrier and two downlink sub-blocks, the narrow
band blocking requirements are defined with the uplink configuration in accordance with Table 7.3A.0-3. For this
uplink configuration, the UE shall meet the requirements for each sub-block as specified in subclauses 7.6.3.3 and

For inter-band carrier aggregation with uplink assigned to one E-UTRA band the narrow-band blocking requirements
are defined with the uplink active on the band other than the band whose downlink is being tested, i.e. the requirements
are tested only for the SCell downlink. The UE shall meet the requirement for each component carrier, when operated as

7.7 Spurious response

7.7.1 Test Purpose
Spurious response verifies the receiver's ability to receive a wanted signal on its assigned channel frequency without
exceeding a given degradation due to the presence of an unwanted CW interfering signal at any other frequency at
which a response is obtained i.e. for which the out of band blocking limit as specified in sub-clause 7.6.2 is not met.
The lack of the spurious response ability decreases the coverage area when other unwanted interfering signal exists at
any other frequency.

Combination with maximum NRB_PCC and then select maximum NRB_SCC1 for the chosen NRB_PCC.
ote 9: Intra-band contiguous + Inter-band: If in the CA Configuration UE supports multiple CC Combinations with the same NRB_agg , choose the
Combination with NRB_PCC = NRB_SCC1 for testing. If no such combination is supported, choose Combination with maximum NRB_PCC for testing.
