4 Recommended test case applicability
The applicability of each individual test is identified in the tables 4.1-1 or 4.2-1. This is just a recommendation based on
the purpose for which the test case was written.
The applicability of every test is formally expressed by the use of Boolean expression that are based on parameters
(ICS) included in annex A of the present document.
Selection criteria of tested bands / CA-Configurations for each applicable test is formally expressed using group theory
based on parameters (ICS) included in annex A of the present document.
Additional information related to the Test Case (TC), e.g. affecting its dynamic behaviour or its execution may be
provided as well
The columns in tables 4.1-1 / 4.2-1 have the following meaning:
Clause
The clause column indicates the clause number in TS 36.521-1 [1] or respectively TS 36.521-3 [2] that contains the test
body.
Title
The title column describes the name of the test and contains the clause title of the clause in TS 36.521-1 [1] or TS
36.521-3 [2] that contains the test body.
Release
The release column indicates the earliest release from which each test case is applicable. It may also indicate a range of
releases or a single release to which a test case is applicable.
Applicability - Condition
The following notations are used for the applicability column:
R recommended - the test case is recommended to all terminals supporting E-UTRA
O optional - the test case is optional
N/A not applicable - in the given context, the test case is not recommended.
ETSI
3GPP TS 36.521-2 version 19.1.0 Release 19 8 ETSI TS 136 521-2 V19.1.0 (2026-04)
Ci conditional - the test is recommended ("R") or not ("N/A") depending on the support of other
items. "i" is an integer identifying an unique conditional status expression which is defined
immediately following the table. For nested conditional expressions, the syntax "IF . THEN (IF .
THEN . ELSE.) ELSE ." is used to avoid ambiguities.
Applicability - Comments
This comments column contains a verbal description of the condition included in the applicability column.
Tested Bands / CA-Configurations Selection
This column defines a set of bands / CA Configurations the test is to be run for, if the test is applicable. If the set is
empty, the test is considered as not applicable.
The following notations are used in the tested bands selection column:
Di Derive the set based on Band Selection Criteria Di defined in table 4.1-1b.
Ei Derive the set based on CA Configurations Selection Criteria Ei defined in table 4.1-1c.
TBD Band selection not defined at this time, in the meantime test all Bands / CA Configurations
Text For more complex selection criteria, or if the criteria are already specified somewhere else in the
spec, text reference to the section is given.
Branch
This column contains indication if the test case may perform differently depending on the UE capabilities.
NOTE 1: To meet the validation requirements from certification bodies then there is a need to uniquely reference
the FDD and TDD branch (i.e. different behaviour within one and the same TC) of common FDD and
TDD RF test cases in table 4.1-1. The FDD and TDD branches of common FDD and TDD test cases can
be referenced by amending a "FDD" or "TDD" suffix to the test case clause number. For example for test
case 6.2.2 the FDD and TDD branches can be identified by "6.2.2 FDD" and "6.2.2 TDD".
NOTE 2: To meet the validation requirements from certification bodies then there is a need to uniquely reference
the 2Rx (UE supports 2 Rx antenna ports in the tested band) and 4Rx (UE supports 4 Rx antenna ports in
the tested band) branch of common 2Rx and 4Rx RRM test cases in table 4.2-1. The 2Rx and 4Rx
branches of common 2Rx and 4Rx test cases can be referenced by amending a "2Rx" or "4Rx" suffix to
the test case clause number. For example for test case 4.2.1 the 2Rx and 4Rx branches can be identified
by "4.2.1_2Rx" and "4.2.1_4Rx". When the branch is “2RX, 4RX” or “xxx_2RX, xxx_4RX”,
requirements of 2RX are tested for 2RX capability UE and requirements of 4RX are tested for 4RX
capability UE.
NOTE 3: To meet the validation requirements from certification bodies then there is a need to uniquely reference
the PC3 (UE supports Power Class 3 in the tested band) and HPUE (UE supports Power Class 1 or Power
Class 2 in the tested band) branch of common PC3 and HPUE test cases in Table 4.1-1. The PC3 and
HPUE branches of common PC3 and HPUE test cases can be referenced by amending a "PC3" or
"HPUE" suffix to the test case clause number. For example for test case 6.6.2.1 the PC3 and HPUE
branches can be identified by "6.6.2.11_PC3" and "6.6.2.1_HPUE". When the branch is "PC3, HPUE" or
"xxx_PC3, xxx_HPUE", requirements of PC3 are tested for PC3 capability UE and requirements of
HPUE are tested for HPUE capability UE.
Additional Information
This column contains additional information
4.1 RF conformance test cases
NOTE: To determine applicability of a test case, FGI support in combined or fdd-Add-UE-EUTRA-Capabilities
or tdd-Add-UE-EUTRA-Capabilities is taken into account.
