  Abstract

5G is a major industry in itself and a core infrastructure that triggers the 4th Industrial Revolution and has been commercialized with intense competition and attention from many countries. The frequency band of 5G NR(New Radio) in 3GPP is divided into FR1(410 ㎒ - 7,125 ㎒) and FR2(24.25 ㎓ - 52.6 ㎓). UE conformance testing in the FR2(millimeter wave) defines the OTA(Over the Air) testing as a baseline in all areas of conformance testing(Tx, Rx, Performance, RRM, Protocol). The radiation test causes many technical issues such as an increase in measurement uncertainty, an increase in the chamber size according to the measurement distance, mounting of the equipment under test(EUT), and measurement time and cost increase due to the complexity of test configuration. This study demonstrated that the standardization trend of 3GPP TSG-RAN WG5(UE conformance testing) to address these issues and analyzed the test metrics, measurement uncertainty, and measurement points required for conformance testing.
