1 Scope
This release note contains important information about the Rohde & Schwarz 3GPP NR
TTCN-3 software products and complements the installation notes and software
manuals. It also describes the features, known bugs and limitations of this release.
1.1 News
Release 22.12.1 is the first release for NR test cases based on 22wk12 TTCN ATS.
- RF Cabling
- The cabling connection depends on the number of CMWs being connected to
the system and how the RF configurations are set in contest. See Section 3.4
- External Attenuation
Depending on the RF cable connection from CMX System to the DUT antenna
input it might be required to compensate signal pathloss via Contest DUT
Configuration.
TTCN Version
R&S ® TTCN-3-CT 22.12.100
KT900/901 Version
R&S ® CMW-KT900-TESTCAST 6.18.14.0

2 Prerequisites
2.1 Hardware
Hardware required:
o R&S ® CMX Signalling Tester
o R&S ® CMW Signalling Tester
o R&S ® SMBV100B (for LBS5-KC131)
2.2 Software
The R&S ® Protocol Conformance TTCN-3 software products are released as
executable installation files, which should be installed using the R&S ® Installation
Manager.
Please refer to the SW Manual RS_InstallationManager_GettingStarted.pdf
for further details on R&S ® Installation Manager.
For the Software included in this Release, the following prerequisites have to be
satisfied. Please ensure that the listed software components are installed:
Common SW Version
R&S ® CSW Signaling Sub 6.90.1060
Contest Base 18.5.2
Contest PCT-NG >= 3.8.1 < 3.9.0
Note: CSW Signaling Sub 6.90.1060 must be provided by R&S application engineers.
The installation with a proper Installation Manager version must be done by R&S
application engineers.
SMBV100B Version
R&S ® SMBV100B Firmware 4.90.049.45
Example:
Default pc_nrTDD value = "FALSE"
Default pc_nrFDD value = "FALSE"
If the DUT supports NR TDD or NR FDD these have to be set to “TRUE” accordingly
before starting NR TCs or they will be stopped during the pics check.
If you have a device that automatically triggers a PDU session after registration on
same rrc connection, you shall set pc_noOf_PDUsSameConnection to 1
The pics needs to be updated based on additional PDU (multi PDU) session triggered
by the UE
If the UE is configured to trigger the PDU Session for Internet DNN first, followed by
PDU Session for IMS DNN then following should be set :
pc_noOf_PDUsSameConnection = 1
pc_noOf_PDUsNewConnection =1
pc_APN_Default_Configuration = internet
pc_Provide_Internet_as_second_APN = FALSE
pc_Provide_IMS_as_second_APN = TRUE
On LTE side, there is a Default EPS Bearer Context established after a successful
attach. Now if the testcase needs another PDN (a Dedicated bearer), and the UE
triggers it automatically, then set pc_noOf_PDNsSameConnection >0.
If the UE needs another PDN, but the UE will do that on a new connection then set
pc_noOf_PDNsSameConnection =0 and pc_noOf_PDNsNewConnection >0.
These PIXITs allow attenuation to be applied separately for FR1 and FR2 (will have an
impact on EN-DC)
Previous PIXIT parameters px_RS_NR_DLAttenuation and px_RS_NR_ULAttenuation
will be deprecated in the next release.
1. not_checked (default)
2. not_available (TCSE not found in RSTCA-file or RSTCA-file not found)
3. not_fulfilled (TCSE not fulfilled)
4. fulfilled (TCSE fulfilled)
5. invalid (syntactically incorrect TCSE -> invalid)
When a TC is started, PCT-NG evaluates the TCSE and includes “fulfilled” or “not
fulfilled” based on the result.
See picture for NR / LTE cable connections to the CMWs and contest DUT
configuration should be configured accordingly.
See picture for NR / LTE cable connections to the CMWs and contest DUT
configuration should be configured accordingly.
TS-FLEXX-CMX-RF88
For Test System including RF88 please refer to Manual “R&S TSCOMPACT,
TSEXTENDED & CMW Series Test System Description” Chapter 4.7.3.5
ATS800R TS-FLEXX-CMX-2xZ24-ATS800R-5R
ATS800R + RF88 TS-FLEXX-CMX-RF88-ATS800R
CMQ TS-FLEXX-CMX-2xZ24-CMQ500-5R
For LBS:
See picture for NR / LTE cable connections to the CMWs and contest DUT
configuration should be configured accordingly.
Important note: in case of using the system type TS-SB-CMX-BETA, please install the
LBS5-KC131 from Installation Manager both in the CMW and in the System Controller
