As the maximum number of CA band combinations that can be included in UE Capability Information message is limited to 128 and based on 36.331 [2], cl. 5.6.3.3, if IE requestedFrequencyBands is not included in UE capability Enquiry message, RRC must prioritize all 2DL + 1UL CA band combinations followed by others. Considering maximum component carriers, maximum number of supported layers for spatial multiplexing, support of QAM techniques used for the bands being reported, UEs supporting more than 128 CA band combinations may not be able to report its maximum category in DL and UL.\nWhen UE sends UE Capability Information message, UE ends up in reporting the maximum category in DL and UL corresponding to the 128 band combinations reported in UE capability Information message as per requirement of TS 36.306 [3], clause 4.3.5.2, which may not be aligned with the PICS being set on the TE for test case execution, as that lists the maximum DL and UL categories supported by the UE.\n[..]\nSo, the green highlighted part suggests that the reported UE category is changed based on the reported CA band combinations. But the note below clarifies that the UE may or may not change its UE category when the reported CA band combinations are filtered by network request. RAN2 CR 1377 R2-167759 [4] clarified the UE category requirement by adding the note.\nSummary\nBased on section 2, it can be inferred that there may be a difference in the UL and DL categories reported by UE that supports more than 128 CA band combinations, in UE Capability Information message. Hence, to pass TC 8.5.4.1, PICS parameters needs to be adjusted based on the reported UE capabilities rather than maximum supported by the UE.\nProposal\nQualcomm would like to make following proposal to the WG:\n\u2022\tUL and DL Category related PICS parameters shall be set and checked in accordance with the 128 band combinations reported by the UE.","secretary_remarks":"","agenda_item_sort_order":461,"ainumber":"6.4.6","ainame":"\tDiscussion Papers \/ Work Plan \/ TC lists","tdoc_agenda_sort_order":112000,"status":"revised","reservation_date":"2019-02-09 04:55:20","uploaded":"2019-02-15 16:36:43","revisionof":"","revisedto":"R5-192712","release":"","crspec":"","crspecversion":"","workitem":"","crnumber":"","crrevision":"","crcategory":"","tsg_crp":"","lsreplyto":"","lsto":"","Cc":"","lsoriginalls":"","lsreply":"","link":"http:\/\/www.3gpp.org\/ftp\/tsg_ran\/WG5_Test_ex-T1\/TSGR5_82_Athens\/Docs\/R5-191120.zip","group":"R5","meeting":"R5-82","year":2019,"uicc_affected":null,"me_affected":null,"ran_affected":null,"cn_affected":null,"clauses_affected":null,"crsinpack":null,"crsinpacknumber":0},
{"name":"R5-191122","title":"UTRA RAT usage and reporting in UE Capability Information message","source":"Qualcomm Incorporated","contact":"Ankit Banaudha","contact-id":58157,"tdoctype":"discussion","for":"Decision","abstract":"Introduction\nThe purpose of this paper is to discuss the usage and the reporting of UE\u2019s UTRA (WCDMA\/TD-SCDMA) capabilities in UE Capability Information message.\n2.\tDiscussion\nCurrently, TD-SCDMA is only deployed by one operator (CMCC). As in real world TD-SCDMA and WCDMA networks does not co-exist and considering no user or network impact, UE registering on CMCC network may report only TD-SCDMA capabilities and, only WCDMA capabilities elsewhere. While in conformance testing, as the PLMNs being used are test (and not real) networks, TD-SCDMA or WCDMA capabilities will be reported depending on the configuration of the UE which maybe be associated with the launch market.\nIn the test case 8.5.4.1 from 36.523-1 [1], currently PICS check based on the UE configuration is not handled as PICS is set as per the UE supported RATs. Therefore, in order to PASS the UE capability transfer testcase, PICS capabilities of the UE are required to be changed to reflect the reported UE capability.\n3.   Summary\nBased on section 2, it can be inferred that UE does not need to report both WCDMA and TD-SCDMA capabilities to the network in UE capability Information message even when both the RATs are supported. Depending on the registered network it can include either of them and PICS needs to be set accordingly as per UE reported RATs.\n4.   Proposal\nQualcomm would like to make following proposal to the WG:\n\u2022\tEven when both RATs WCDMA and TD-SCDMA are supported by the UE and PICS are set accordingly, TTCN shall not fail the test case when either of the RAT capability is reported by the UE.","secretary_remarks":"","agenda_item_sort_order":461,"ainumber":"6.4.6","ainame":"\tDiscussion Papers \/ Work Plan \/ TC lists","tdoc_agenda_sort_order":112200,"status":"noted","reservation_date":"2019-02-09 06:54:06","uploaded":"2019-02-15 16:36:43","revisionof":"","revisedto":"","release":"","crspec":"","crspecversion":"","workitem":"","crnumber":"","crrevision":"","crcategory":"","tsg_crp":"","lsreplyto":"","lsto":"","Cc":"","lsoriginalls":"","lsreply":"","link":"http:\/\/www.3gpp.org\/ftp\/tsg_ran\/WG5_Test_ex-T1\/TSGR5_82_Athens\/Docs\/R5-191122.zip","group":"R5","meeting":"R5-82","year":2019,"uicc_affected":null,"me_affected":null,"ran_affected":null,"cn_affected":null,"clauses_affected":null,"crsinpack":null,"crsinpacknumber":0},
