30、 TR 36.904 version 12.0.0 Release 124 General Principles 4.1 Principle of Superposition For multi-cell tests there are several cells each generating various Physical channels. In general cells are combined along with AWGN, so the signal and noise seen by the UE may be determined by more than one cel

31、l. Since several cells may contribute towards the overall power applied to the UE, a number of test system uncertainties affect the signal and noise seen by the UE. The aim of the superposition method is to vary each controllable parameter of the test system separately, and to establish its effect o

32、n the critical parameters as seen by the UE receiver. The superposition principle then allows the effect of each test system uncertainty to be added, to calculate the overall effect. The contributing test system uncertainties shall form a minimum set for the superposition principle to be applicable.

33、 4.2 Sensitivity analysis A change in any one channel level or channel ratio generated at source does not necessarily have a 1:1 effect at the UE. The effect of each controllable parameter of the test system on the critical parameters as seen by the UE receiver shall therefore be established. As a c

34、onsequence of the sensitivity scaling factors not necessarily being unity, the test system uncertainties cannot be directly applied as test tolerances to the critical parameters as seen by the UE. EXAMPLE: In many of the tests described, the s / Iotis one of the critical parameters at the UE. Scalin

35、g factors are used to model the sensitivity of the s / Iotto each test system uncertainty. When the scaling factors have been determined, the superposition principle then allows the effect of each test system uncertainty to be added, to give the overall variability in the critical parameters as seen

36、 at the UE. There are often constraints on several parameters at the UE. The aim of the sensitivity analysis, together with the acceptable test system uncertainties, is to ensure that the variability in each of these parameters is controlled within the limits necessary for the specification to apply

37、. The test has then been conducted under valid conditions. 4.3 Statistical combination of uncertainties The acceptable uncertainties of the test system are specified as the measurement uncertainty tolerance interval for a specific measurement that contains 95% of the performance of a population of t

38、est equipment, in accordance with 3GPP TS 36.521-1 2 clause F.1. In the UE radio reception conformance tests covered by the present document, the Test System shall enable the stimulus signals in the test case to be adjusted to within the specified range, with an uncertainty not exceeding the specifi

39、ed values. The method given in the present document combines the acceptable uncertainties of the test system, to give the overall variability in the critical parameters as seen at the UE. Since the process does not add any new uncertainties, the method of combination should be chosen to maintain the

40、 same tolerance interval for the combined uncertainty as is already specified for the contributing test system uncertainties. The basic principle for combining uncertainties is in accordance with ETR 273-1-2 3. In summary, the process requires 3 steps: a) Express the value of each contributing uncer

41、tainty as a one standard deviation figure, from knowledge of its numeric value and its distribution. b) Combine all the one standard deviation figures as root-sum-squares, to give the one standard deviation value for the combined uncertainty. c) Expand the combined uncertainty by a coverage factor,

42、according to the tolerance interval required. Provided that the contributing uncertainties have already been obtained using this method, using a coverage factor of 2, further stages of combination can be achieved by performing step b) alone, since steps a) and c) simply divide by 2 and multiply by 2

43、 respectively. The root-sum-squares method is therefore used to maintain the same tolerance interval for the combined uncertainty as is already specified for the contributing test system uncertainties. In some cases where correlation between contributing uncertainties has an adverse effect, the meth

44、od is modified in accordance with clause 4.4.5 of the present document. ETSI ETSI TR 136 904 V12.0.0 (2016-01)73GPP TR 36.904 version 12.0.0 Release 12In each analysis, the uncertainties are assumed to be uncorrelated, and are added result root-sum-square unless otherwise stated. The combination of

45、uncertainties is performed using dB values for simplicity. It has been shown that using dB uncertainty values gives a slightly worse combined uncertainty result than using linear values for the uncertainties. The analysis method therefore errs on the safe side. 4.4 Correlation between uncertainties

46、The statistical (root-sum-square) addition of uncertainties is based on the assumption that the uncertainties are independent of each other. For realisable test systems, the uncertainties may not be fully independent. The validity of the method used to add uncertainties depends on both the type of c

47、orrelation and on the way in which the uncertainties affect the test requirements. Clauses 4.4.1 to 4.4.3 give examples to illustrate different types of correlation. Clauses 4.4.4 to 4.4.7 show how the scenarios applicable to multi-cell RRM tests are treated. 4.4.1 Uncorrelated uncertainties The gra

48、ph shows an example of two test system uncertainties, A and B, which affect a test requirement. Each sample from a population of test systems has a specific value of error in parameter A, and a specific value of error in parameter B. Each dot on the graph represents a sample from a population of tes

49、t systems, and is plotted according to its error values for parameters A and B. Error inparameter AError inparameter BFigure 4.4.1.1: Example of two test system uncertainties affecting a test requirement It can be seen that a positive value of error in parameter A, for example, is equally likely to occur with either a positive or a negative value of error in parameter B. This is expected when two parameters are uncorrelated, such as two uncertainties which arise from different and unrelated parts of the test system. 4.4.2 Positively correlated un
