1 Scope
The present document specifies the procedures for the conformance test of the measurement requirements for FDD or
TDD mode of UTRA and FDD or TDD mode of E-UTRA, NB-IOT and NR for the User Equipment (UE) that supports
one or more of the defined positioning methods. These positioning methods are:
- for UTRA: Assisted Global Positioning System (A-GPS), Assisted Global Navigation Satellite Systems (A-
GNSS),
- for E-UTRA: Assisted Global Navigation Satellite System (A-GNSS), Observed Time Difference of Arrival
(OTDOA), Enhanced Cell ID (ECID), Metropolitan Beacon System (MBS), Wireless Local Area Network
(WLAN), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE),
- for NB-IOT: Observed Time Difference of Arrival (OTDOA), [others FFS], and
- for NR: Assisted Global Navigation Satellite System (A-GNSS), Observed Time Difference of Arrival
(OTDOA), Enhanced Cell ID (ECID), Metropolitan Beacon System (MBS), Wireless Local Area Network
(WLAN), Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
Tests are only applicable to those mobiles that are intended to support the appropriate functionality. To indicate the
circumstances in which tests apply, this is noted in the “Test applicability " part of the test.

The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present
document.
• References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or
non-specific.
• For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
• For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including
a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that document in the same
Release as the present document unless the context in which the reference is made suggests a different Release is
relevant (information on the applicable release in a particular context can be found in e.g. test case title,
description or applicability, message description or content).
