3GPP TS 36.101 V10.18.0 (2015-03)
Performance requirement
This clause contains performance requirements for the physical channels specified in TS 36.211 [4]. The performance
requirements for the UE in this clause are specified for the measurement channels specified in Annex A.3, the
propagation conditions in Annex B and the downlink channels in Annex C.3.2.
Note: For the requirements in the following sections, similar Release 8 and 9 requirements apply for time domain
measurements restriction under colliding CRS.
8.1
General
8.1.1
Dual-antenna receiver capability
The performance requirements are based on UE(s) that utilize a dual-antenna receiver.
For all test cases, the SNR is defined as
SNR
E s(1) E s( 2)
(1)
( 2)
N oc
N oc
where the superscript indicates the receiver antenna connector. The above SNR definition assumes that the REs are not
precoded. The SNR definition does not account for any gain which can be associated to the precoding operation. The
relative power of physical channels transmitted is defined in Table C.3.2-1. The SNR requirement applies for the UE
categories and CA capabilities given for each test.

Applicability of requirements for different channel bandwidths
In Clause 8 the test cases may be defined with different channel bandwidth to verify the same target FRC conditions
with the same propagation conditions, correlation matrix and antenna configuration.
8.1.2.2
Definition of CA capability
The definition with respect to CA capabilities for 2CCs is given as in Table 8.1.2.2-1.

Note 1: This table is only for information and applicability and test rules of
CA performance requirements are specified in 8.1.2.3 and
9.1.1.2.
For test cases with more than one component carrier, "Fraction of Maximum Throughput" in the performance
requirement refers to the ratio of the sum of throughput values of all component carriers to the sum of the nominal
maximum throughput values of all component carriers.
8.1.2.3
Applicability and test rules for different CA configurations and bandwidth

combination sets
The performance requirement for CA UE demodulation tests in Clause 8 are defined independent of CA configurations
and bandwidth combination sets specified in Clause 5.6A.1. For UEs supporting different CA configurations and
bandwidth combination sets, the applicability and test rules are defined for the tests for 2 DL CCs in Table 8.1.2.3-1.
For simplicity, CA configuration below refers to combination of CA configuration and bandwidth combination set.

Single-antenna port performance
The single-antenna performance in a given multi-path fading environments is determined by the SNR for which a
certain relative information bit throughput of the reference measurement channels in Annex A.3.3 is achieved. The
purpose of these tests is to verify the single-antenna performance with different channel models and MCS. The QPSK
and 64QAM cases are also used to verify the performance for all bandwidths specified in Table 5.6.1-1.
8.2.1.1.1
Minimum Requirement
For single carrier the requirements are specified in Table 8.2.1.1.1-2, with the addition of the parameters in Table
8.2.1.1.1-1 and the downlink physical channel setup according to Annex C.3.2. For CA the requirements are specified
in Table 8.2.1.1.1-4, with the addition of the parameters in Table 8.2.1.1.1-3 and the downlink physical channel setup
according to Annex C.3.2.
The test coverage for different number of component carriers is defined in 8.1.2.4.

The single-antenna performance in a given multi-path fading environments is determined by the SNR for which a
certain relative information bit throughput of the reference measurement channels in Annex A.3.4 is achieved. The
purpose of these tests is to verify the single-antenna performance with different channel models and MCS. The QPSK
and 64QAM cases are also used to verify the performance for all bandwidths specified in Table 5.6.1-1.

Demodulation of PDCCH/PCFICH
The receiver characteristics of the PDCCH/PCFICH are determined by the probability of miss-detection of the
Downlink Scheduling Grant (Pm-dsg). PDCCH and PCFICH are tested jointly, i.e. a miss detection of PCFICH implies
a miss detection of PDCCH.

Sustained downlink data rate provided by lower layers
The purpose of the test is to verify that the Layer 1 and Layer 2 correctly process in a sustained manner the received
packets corresponding to the maximum number of DL-SCH transport block bits received within a TTI for the UE
category indicated. The sustained downlink data rate shall be verified in terms of the success rate of delivered PDCP
SDU(s) by Layer 2. The test case below specifies the RF conditions and the required success rate of delivered TB by
Layer 1 to meet the sustained data rate requirement. The size of the TB per TTI corresponds to the largest possible DLSCH transport block for each UE category using the maximum number of layers for spatial multiplexing. Transmission
modes 1 and 3 are used with radio conditions resembling a scenario where sustained maximum data rates are available.

CQI reporting definition under AWGN conditions
The reporting accuracy of the channel quality indicator (CQI) under frequency non-selective conditions is determined
by the reporting variance and the BLER performance using the transport format indicated by the reported CQI median.
The purpose is to verify that the reported CQI values are in accordance with the CQI definition given in TS 36.213 [6].
To account for sensitivity of the input SNR the reporting definition is considered to be verified if the reporting accuracy
is met for at least one of two SNR levels separated by an offset of 1 dB.

9.2.2 Minimum requirement PUCCH 1-1 (Cell-Specific Reference Symbols)

The minimum requirements for dual codeword transmission are defined in terms of a reporting spread of the wideband
CQI value for codeword #1, and their BLER performance using the transport format indicated by the reported CQI
median of codeword #0 and codeword #1. The precoding used at the transmitter is a fixed precoding matrix specified by
the bitmap parameter codebookSubsetRestriction. The propagation condition assumed for the minimum performance
requirement is defined in subclause B.1.
9.2.2.1
FDD
The following requirements apply to UE Category 2-8. For the parameters specified in table 9.2.2.1-1, and using the
downlink physical channels specified in tables C.3.2-1 and C.3.2-2, the reported offset level of the wideband spatial
differential CQI for codeword #1 (Table 7.2-2 in TS 36.213 [6]) shall be used to determine the wideband CQI index for
codeword #1 as
wideband CQI1 = wideband CQI0 Codeword 1 offset level
The wideband CQI1 shall be within the set {median CQI1 -1, median CQI1, median CQI1 +1} for more than 90% of the
time, where the resulting wideband values CQI1 shall be used to determine the median CQI values for codeword #1. For
both codewords #0 and #1, the PDSCH BLER using the transport format indicated by the respective median CQI 0 1
and median CQI1 1 shall be less than or equal to 0.1. Furthermore, for both codewords #0 and #1, the PDSCH BLER
using the transport format indicated by the respective median CQI 0 + 1 and median CQI1 + 1 shall be greater than or
equal to 0.1.

CQI reporting under fading conditions
9.3.1 Frequency-selective scheduling mode

The accuracy of sub-band channel quality indicator (CQI) reporting under frequency selective fading conditions is
determined by a double-sided percentile of the reported differential CQI offset level 0 per sub-band, and the relative
increase of the throughput obtained when transmitting on a randomly selected sub-band among the sub-bands with the
highest reported differential CQI offset level the corresponding transport format compared to the case for which a fixed
format is transmitted on any sub-band in set S of TS 36.213 [6]. The purpose is to verify that preferred sub-bands can be
used for frequently-selective scheduling. To account for sensitivity of the input SNR the sub-band CQI reporting under
3GPP
Release 10
185
3GPP TS 36.101 V10.18.0 (2015-03)
frequency selective fading conditions is considered to be verified if the reporting accuracy is met for at least one of two
SNR levels separated by an offset of 1 dB.

For the parameters specified in Table 9.3.1.1.1-1, and using the downlink physical channels specified in Annex C.3.2,
the minimum requirements are specified in Table 9.3.1.1.1-2 and by the following
a) a sub-band differential CQI offset level of 0 shall be reported at least % of the time but less than % for each subband;
b) the ratio of the throughput obtained when transmitting on a randomly selected sub-band among the sub-bands with
the highest differential CQI offset level the corresponding TBS and that obtained when transmitting the TBS indicated
by the reported wideband CQI median on a randomly selected sub-band in set S shall be ;
c) when transmitting on a randomly selected sub-band among the sub-bands with the highest differential CQI offset
level the corresponding TBS, the average BLER for the indicated transport formats shall be greater or equal to 0.05.
The requirements only apply for sub-bands of full size and the random scheduling across the sub-bands is done by
selecting a new sub-band in each TTI for FDD, each available downlink transmission instance for TDD.

9.3.2 Frequency non-selective scheduling mode

The reporting accuracy of the channel quality indicator (CQI) under frequency non-selective fading conditions is
determined by the reporting variance, and the relative increase of the throughput obtained when the transport format
transmitted is that indicated by the reported CQI compared to the case for which a fixed transport format configured
according to the reported median CQI is transmitted. In addition, the reporting accuracy is determined by a minimum
BLER using the transport formats indicated by the reported CQI. The purpose is to verify that the UE is tracking the
channel variations and selecting the largest transport format possible according to the prevailing channel state for
frequently non-selective scheduling. To account for sensitivity of the input SNR the CQI reporting under frequency
non-selective fading conditions is considered to be verified if the reporting accuracy is met for at least one of two SNR
levels separated by an offset of 1 dB.

9.3.3 Frequency-selective interference

The accuracy of sub-band channel quality indicator (CQI) reporting under frequency selective interference conditions is
determined by a percentile of the reported differential CQI offset level +2 for a preferred sub-band, and the relative
increase of the throughput obtained when transmitting on a randomly selected sub-band among the sub-bands with the
highest reported differential CQI offset level the corresponding transport format compared to the case for which a fixed
format is transmitted on any sub-band in set S of TS 36.213 [6]. The purpose is to verify that preferred sub-bands are
used for frequently-selective scheduling under frequency-selective interference conditions.

9.3.4 UE-selected subband CQI

The accuracy of UE-selected subband channel quality indicator (CQI) reporting under frequency-selective fading
conditions is determined by the relative increase of the throughput obtained when transmitting on the UE-selected
subbands with the corresponding transport format compared to the case for which a fixed format is transmitted on any
subband in set S of TS 36.213 [6]. The purpose is to verify that correct subbands are accurately reported for frequencyselective scheduling. To account for sensitivity of the input SNR the subband CQI reporting under frequency-selective
fading conditions is considered to be verified if the reporting accuracy is met for at least one of two SNR levels
separated by an offset of 1 dB.

The requirements only apply for subbands of full size and the random scheduling across the subbands is done by
selecting a new subband in each TTI for FDD. The transport block size TBS (wideband CQI median) is that resulting
from the code rate which is closest to that indicated by the wideband CQI median and the N PRB entry in Table 7.1.7.2.11 of TS 36.213 [6] that corresponds to the subband size.

Reporting of Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI)
The minimum performance requirements of PMI reporting are defined based on the precoding gain, expressed as the
relative increase in throughput when the transmitter is configured according to the UE reports compared to the case
when the transmitter is using random precoding, respectively. When the transmitter uses random precoding, for each
PDSCH allocation a precoder is randomly generated and applied to the PDSCH. A fixed transport format (FRC) is
configured for all requirements.
The requirements for transmission mode 6 with 1 TX and transmission mode 9 with 4 TX are specified in terms of the
ratio
tue .
t rnd
In the definition of , for PUSCH 3-1 single PMI and PUSCH 1-2 multiple PMI requirements, t rnd is 60% of the
maximum throughput obtained at SNRrnd using random precoding, and tue the throughput measured at SNRrnd with
precoders configured according to the UE reports;
For the PUCCH 2-1 single PMI requirement, t rnd is 60% of the maximum throughput obtained at SNRrnd using random
precoding on a randomly selected full-size subband in set S subbands, and tue the throughput measured at SNRrnd with
both the precoder and the preferred full-size subband applied according to the UE reports;
For PUSCH 2-2 multiple PMI requirements, t rnd is 60% of the maximum throughput obtained at SNRrnd using random
precoding on a randomly selected full-size subband in set S subbands, and tue the throughput measured at SNRrnd with
both the subband precoder and a randomly selected full-size subband (within the preferred subbands) applied according
to the UE reports.
The requirements for transmission mode 9 with 8 TX are specified in terms of the ratio

Reporting of Rank Indicator (RI)
The purpose of this test is to verify that the reported rank indicator accurately represents the channel rank. The accuracy
of RI (CQI) reporting is determined by the relative increase of the throughput obtained when transmitting based on the
reported rank compared to the case for which a fixed rank is used for transmission. Transmission mode 4 is used with
the specified CodebookSubSetRestriction in section 9.5.1, transmission mode 9 is used with the specified
CodebookSubSetRestriction in section 9.5.2 and transmission mode 3 is used with the specified
CodebookSubSetRestriction in section 9.5.3.
For fixed rank 1 transmission in sections 9.5.1 and 9.5.2, the RI and PMI reporting is restricted to two single-layer
precoders, For fixed rank 2 transmission in sections 9.5.1 and 9.5.2, the RI and PMI reporting is restricted to one twolayer precoder, For follow RI transmission in sections 9.5.1 and 9.5.2, the RI and PMI reporting is restricted to select
the union of these precoders. Channels with low and high correlation are used to ensure that RI reporting reflects the
channel condition.
For fixed rank 1 transmission in section 9.5.3, the RI reporting is restricted to single-layer, for fixed rank 2 transmission
in section 9.5.3, the RI reporting is restricted to two-layers. For follow RI transmission in section 9.5.3, the RI reporting
is either one or two layers.

Note 3: To avoid collisions between RI reports and HARQ-ACK it is necessary to report both on PUSCH
instead of PUCCH. PDCCH DCI format 0 shall be transmitted in downlink SF#4 and #9 to allow
periodic RI to multiplex with the HARQ-ACK on PUSCH in uplink subframe SF#8 and #3.
Note 4: The bit field for precoding information in DCI format 2 shall be mapped as:
For reported RI = 1 and PMI = 0 >> precoding information bit field index = 1
Note 5: To avoid the ambiguity of TE behaviour when applying CQI and PMI during rank switching, RI
reports are to be applied at the TE with one subframe delay in addition to Note 1 to align with CQI
and PMI reports.

Note 1: If the UE reports in an available uplink reporting instance at subframe SF#n based on PMI and
CQI estimation at a downlink subframe not later than SF#(n-4), this reported PMI and
wideband CQI cannot be applied at the eNB downlink before SF#(n+4).
Note 3: To avoid collisions between CQI/ PMI reports and HARQ-ACK it is necessary to report both on
#6 to allow periodic CQI/ PMI to multiplex with the HARQ-ACK on PUSCH in uplink SF#0 and
#5.
Note 4: To avoid the ambiguity of TE behaviour when applying CQI and PMI during rank switching, RI
reports are to be applied at the TE with one subframe delay in addition to Note 1 to align with
CQI and PMI reports.
