[{"name":"R5-202498","title":"LS on suitability of validation transfers across 5G FR1 and FR2 and vice versa","source":"PTCRB PVG","contact":"Ingbert Sigovich","contact-id":28887,"tdoctype":"LS in","for":"Information","abstract":"To facilitate the Certification of mobile devices, PVG utilises a test case validation process.\nThis process is used to establish that the execution of the Test Case on a specific version of a Test Platform is performed to the Test Specification requirement, and is repeatable. When executing the Test Case for the initial Band under test, the Test Case execution is validated against one or two Reference Devices (UEs),\nFor 3GPP protocol test cases, PVG has determined that for specific test cases, when using the same version of TTCN and executed on the exact same version of the Test Platform, it is technically justifiable that the test case will execute correctly across all applicable Bands and\/or Band combinations, and therefore no specific validation work is required for these additional Bands and\/or Band Combinations. This process is identified as validation transfer, described in the PVG.02 PRD, reference \u201c=0V\u201d.\nPVG Review\nAt PVG#87 (November 2019), following the submission of validation transfers, PVG had concerns that the differences between the test case environment required to execute the test case in FR1, and the test case environment then required to execute the same test case in FR2, was sufficiently different to technically negate the use of the \u2018=0V\u2019 transfer.\n \nAction Requested\nPVG kindly seeks guidance from 3GPP RAN5 if they agree with the PVG decision that for 5G protocol test cases, validation transfer across FR1 and FR2 is not technically suitable, and if in the case of 3GPP RAN5 test case \u2018verification\u2019, have determined that for specific test cases, verification can be performed in either FR1 or FR2 only.","secretary_remarks":"","agenda_item_sort_order":290,"ainumber":"6.2","ainame":"\tReview incoming LS (fm A.I. 3) & new subject discussion papers","tdoc_agenda_sort_order":24980,"status":"noted","reservation_date":"2020-05-09 06:01:24","uploaded":"2020-05-09 06:19:29","revisionof":"","revisedto":"","release":"","crspec":"","crspecversion":"","workitem":"","crnumber":"","crrevision":"","crcategory":"","tsg_crp":"","lsreplyto":"","lsto":"","Cc":"","lsoriginalls":"PVG2088083R3","lsreply":"R5-202529","link":"http:\/\/www.3gpp.org\/ftp\/TSG_RAN\/WG5_Test_ex-T1\/TSGR5_87_Electronic\/Docs\/R5-202498.zip","group":"R5","meeting":"R5-ah-38102","year":2020,"uicc_affected":null,"me_affected":null,"ran_affected":null,"cn_affected":null,"clauses_affected":null,"crsinpack":null,"crsinpacknumber":0}]
