1 Scope
The present document specifies and contains the derivation of Test Points for NR RF test cases, thereby 3GPP TSG
RAN WG5 will have a way of storing the input contributions provided. The test cases are described in TS38.521-1[2],
TS38.521-2[3] and TS38.521-3[4],
The test cases which have been analysed to determine Test Points are included as .zip files.
The present document is applicable from Release 15 up to the release indicated on the front page of the present
Terminal conformance specifications.
