1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
OTA (Over the Air) testing is the key method to evaluate the antenna performance and
radiated performance of wireless devices. Poor OTA performance would result in high Block
Error Rate (BLER) in communication and potential access failure.
The number of IoT connected devices has experienced exceptional growth in recent years.
Some of these IoT devices suffer from very poor radiated antenna performance and cause a
bad user experience.
Unlike traditional devices, IoT devices come in various sizes, shapes, materials and work in
different environments. This presents lots of challenges for OTA testing of IoT devices. CTIA
have set up an IoT working group and have released OTA test methods for LTE-M devices,
however the details about working scenarios and benchmarks have not been defined.
Given the fast development of the IoT industry, the importance of OTA measurements and
the existing standardization status, the GSMA is developing the specification of OTA Testing
of IoT devices, which includes test set-up, test method, test procedures and performance
requirements.
To measure the radiation power and receiver performance of IoT devices, this document
provides test solutions for measuring the Total Radiation Power (TRP) and Total Radiated
Sensitivity (TRS), which can be carried out using two test systems: An Anechoic Chamber
(AC) and a Reverberation Chamber (RC).
1.2 Scope
This document defines the OTA Testing of cellular IoT devices, including test set-up, test
method, test procedure and performance requirements of Total Radiated Power and Total
Radiated Sensitivity for different types of cellular IoT devices.
The cellular IoT devices covered by this document are those using 3GPP communication
technology; for example NB-IoT, LTE-M, Cat1/Cat1bis, etc.

Reverberation Chamber already specified in both 3GPP and CTIA specifications. Test
equipment is described below.

Stirrers can be moved continuously or step by step to create a uniform distribution of waves
around the DUT.
The number of sample measurements need to be set at least for 200 for TRP (Total
Radiated Power) measurement and 300 for TIS (Total Isotropic Sensitivity) measurement.

The radiated Radio Frequency (RF) performance of the DUT is measured by sampling the
radiated transmit power of the mobile at various locations surrounding the device. All of the
measured power values will be integrated to give a single figure of merit referred to as TRP.
Due to the diversity working scenarios of IoT devices, tests shall be configured according to
the DUT’s working scenarios, i.e., free space configurations to metering devices, forearm
phantom to wrist worn devices.
Coordinating systems and positioning requirements for all configurations are described in
Appendix A of CTIA Test plan for wireless device over the air performance [3]. The
requirements for the wrist worn devices are also defined in Appendix Q of ref [3].
It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to define which options represent the “baseline”
configuration and to provide adequate supporting data that validates assumptions for
reduced testing of the remaining options. At a minimum, a complete set of measurements is
required for the baseline DUT configuration.
For NB-IoT type devices, since NB-IoT is a separate system different from LTE, a separate
parameter set is required in the system configuration, and the test configuration is different.
For LTE-M type devices, the OTA test methodology is fundamentally same as the LTE
devices.
In the maximum transmission power test, since the NB-IoT has no closed loop power control
and only open loop power control, it is not possible to adjust the DUT to the maximum
transmit power through closed loop power control. The DUT can reach the maximum
transmit power by setting a higher open-loop target power. At the same time, unless it is
demonstrated that there is negligible impact to performance with different options, tests shall
be performed on all possible DUT configurations such as battery pack configurations, and
different working scenarios. The test can be executed either using and Anechoic Chamber or
a Reverberation Chamber

The receiver performance of the DUT is measured utilizing BLER, or other error criteria. A
three-dimensional characterization of the receiver performance of the DUT is pieced
together by analyzing the data from the spatially distributed measurements. All of the
measured sensitivity values for each DUT test condition will be integrated to give a single
figure of merit referred to as Total Radiated Sensitivity.
For the TRS test, tests shall be configured according to DUT’s working scenarios, i.e., free
space configurations to metering devices, forearm phantom to wrist worn devices.
Coordinate systems and positioning requirements for all configurations are described in
Appendix A of ref [3]. The requirements for the wrist worn devices are defined in Appendix Q
of ref [3].
For NB-IoT type devices, since NB-IoT is a separate system different from LTE, a separate
parameter set is required in the system configuration, and all frequencies and resource block
(RB) allocations should be tested.
For LTE-M type devices, the OTA test methodology is the same as LTE devices.
Total Radiated Sensitivity shall be fully measured and calculated pursuant to ref [3] [6] for
the channel(s) specified in Section 4.2 and 4.3 for all frequency bands supported by the
DUT.
Since the process of measuring effective radiated receiver sensitivity is typically less
accurate than measuring transmitter radiated power, this test specification allows for a
relaxation in the spatial separation to 30 degrees in the theta (ɵ) and in the phi (ɸ) axis for
TRS. The test can be executed either using AC or RC.

CTIA have provided two test methods of scanning the DUT are proposed, the “conical” cut
method and the “great circle” cut method, which can be found in sections 2 of ref [3].
The TRS is a measure of the minimum power required to achieve a specified Block error
rate (BLER). The TRS is defined as:
4
TRS
1 1
EIS (; f ) EIS (; f ) d
(Formula 5.1.4-1)
Where the effective isotropic sensitivity (EIS) is defined as the power available at the
antenna output such as the sensitivity threshold is achieved for each polarization. is the
solid angle describing the direction, f is frequency. and are the orthogonal
polarizations.
2 NM
TRS
N 1 M 1
sin n

EIS ( n ,m ; f ) EIS ( n ,m ; f )
n 0 m0
(Formula 5.1.4-2)
In these formulas N and M are the number of sampling intervals for theta and phi. n and
m are the measurement angles.
The TRS can also be calculated from measurements in a Rayleigh fading 3 dimensional
isotropic environment with in average uniform elevation and azimuth distribution. The
calculation of the TRS is in this case based on searching for the lowest power received by
the UE/MS for a discrete number of field combinations in the chamber that gives a BLER
that is better than 5% (BLER <5%). By calibrating the average power transfer function, an
absolute value of the TRS can be obtained. The following expression can be used to find the
TRS.
