eNodeB Transmitter Testing
• We use a test waveform (E-TM1.1, E-TM1.2) if possible, or a 64 QAM modulated waveform if test waveforms are unavailable
• We test in-band channel power, out-of-band power (edge frequency +/- 10 MHz), and spurious emissions (> 10 MHz offset)
• Tests use 100 kHZ measurement bandwidth
• Co-existence and Co-location specifications

Sector Characterization Test
• This test is designed to determine the throughput at near, mid, and cell edge locations. The near, mid and cell edge locations will be determined at the 10th, 50th and 95th percentiles of the CDF of the SNR. This test will be conducted between a loaded and unloaded, single sector of an eNB and a nomadic UE in the presence of co-channel interference.

The D-Block Experiment
• Band 13 signal within FCC limits• Simulation: User is close to Band 13
site, far from PSBB site– User is about 8 km from PS site, 300 m
from Band 13 site in this experiment

Other Interferers!
• PSBB uplink = 788 to 798 MHz– GPS L1 = 1575.42 MHz– 2*788 MHz = 1576 MHz!
• Leakage from cable TV repeaters• Wireless microphones

What Is Next?
• 10 MHz Regression Results• Phase 3
– Being modified to heavily address interoperability (IOT)
