[{"name":"R5-222071","title":"LS on CTIA Certification OTA Performance Test Plan Version 4.0 Publication","source":"CTIA OTA","contact":"Ingbert Sigovich","contact-id":28887,"tdoctype":"LS in","for":"Information","abstract":"In 2020, CTIA Certification initiated OTA test plan restructuring efforts to support the expansion of CTIA Certification OTA test scope to accommodate new airlink technologies, new operating bands, new test methodologies, new device types, new phantoms, etc.\nThese efforts resulted in the streamlined suite of Test Plan for Wireless Device Over-the-Air Performance Version 4.0 which include the following documents (available to download at https:\/\/ctiacertification.org\/test-plans\/):\nThe overarching document, CTIA 01.01, defines general requirements for equipment configurations, laboratory techniques, test methodologies, and evaluation criteria that must be met in order to ensure the accurate, repeatable, and uniform testing of wireless devices to ensure that they meet CTIA Certification standards.\nThe test methodology documents, CTIA 01.20 through 01.22 for SISO and CTIA 01.40 through 01.41 for MIMO, describe the individual test procedures while the settings for the airlink technologies, operating bands, channels, etc. are described in the wireless technology documents, CTIA 01.50 through 01.52.\nThe underlying measurement uncertainty contributions and descriptions for each methodology are defined in CTIA 01.70 while setup\/positioning guidelines as well as supporting procedures are discussed in CTIA 01.71 and 01.73, respectively. The near-field phantoms used for OTA testing are defined in CTIA 01.72.\nSome of the new features, test requirements, and test methodologies introduced in Version 4.0 are as follows:\n\u2022 MIMO OTA testing based on Radiated-Two Stage (RTS)\n\u2022 Reverberation chamber test methodology for non-MIMO testing (IoT devices and Large Form Factor devices)\n\u2022 Normative NR FR1 OTA testing to include NR SA and EN-DC\n\u2022 TRP and TIS Quantities based on Clenshaw-Curtis quadrature as opposed to the traditional sin(theta) weighting\n\u2022 Additional GNSS test methods: A-GPS L5, NR FR1 NSA A-GNSS, A-GALILEO E1\n\u2022 Recommended LTE TRP\/TIS limits for IoT devices\n\u2022 Generic Chest Phantom for body-worn use cases (Informative)\n\u2022 Bluetooth\u2122 Low Energy (LE) test methodology (Informative)\nCTIA Certification is getting ready to validate system vendors using the System Validation Document (SVD) which is released separately for each test methodology. Once SVD submissions from system vendors have been received by CTIA Certification and accepted by the Subject Matter Experts, CTIA Certification will determine whether a sufficient number of labs would meet the pre-determined minimum required percentage, determined per feature\/test case, to ensure adequate test capacity for the certification program. The Lab Authorization Documents (LADs), released for each test methodology as well, will be released shortly for test labs to start the process of becoming Authorized Test Labs (ATLs). As soon as the minimum requirement above is met, the date at which time the new test plan version is mandatory for certification will be determined.\nThe mandatory date for each test methodology has not been finalized\/defined yet as the development of the SVDs and LADs is still in progress.","secretary_remarks":"","agenda_item_sort_order":4,"ainumber":"3","ainame":"\tIncoming Liaison Statements","tdoc_agenda_sort_order":20710,"status":"noted","reservation_date":"2022-03-21 17:24:52","uploaded":"2022-05-23 06:41:09","revisionof":"","revisedto":"","release":"","crspec":"","crspecversion":"","workitem":"","crnumber":"","crrevision":"","crcategory":"","tsg_crp":"","lsreplyto":"","lsto":"","Cc":"","lsoriginalls":"OTA_2022_004_004 V2","lsreply":"","link":"https:\/\/www.3gpp.org\/ftp\/TSG_RAN\/WG5_Test_ex-T1\/TSGR5_95_Electronic\/Docs\/R5-222071.zip","group":"R5","meeting":"R5-95-e","year":2022,"uicc_affected":null,"me_affected":null,"ran_affected":null,"cn_affected":null,"clauses_affected":null,"crsinpack":null,"crsinpacknumber":0}]
