R4-021446 Discussion on linear or logarithmic L3 filtering (Ericsson)
KPN and Motorola objected figure 5, the reason the blue line and the green line are so separate is the filter coefficient chosen, if it is required that the filter response follows closely the non-filtered signal (green), the coefficients can be selected to allow for a faster response.
Josef Blanz (Qualcomm) commented figure 6, the delay of the log filter when the user is approaching to the cell is always bigger than that of the linear filter. The figures only go up to 30kmph, this effect would be more remarkable at higher speeds. Josef also noted that in a CDMA system is more important that a valid cell is added to the active set as soon as possible when it becomes selectable than a cell that becomes non valid is dropped from the active set list.
R4-021479 Unit of layer 3 filtering (Motorola)
Sari Korpela (Nokia) questioned what layer 1 filter is used, Motorola clarified that this simulation is using an ideal layer 1 filter, measurements are provided each 200 ms exactly.
R4-021484 L3 filtering (Nokia)
Nokia remarks in this contribution that GSM RSSI uses logarithmic filtering, and therefore when comparing GSM power levels to UTRA power level the same type of filtering should be used. Motorola objected that a faster filter response is required in UTRA.
Nokia notes that the main influence on the measurement coming out of the layer 3 filter is not the layer 3 filter itself, but the layer 1 filter; therefore the difference in the results between log or linear layer 3 is small.
Qualcomm warned that it may be concluded from the graphics in this paper that the linear filtering would provide a response around 4 dBs away from the actual average value, which is incorrect.
R4-021534 L3 Filtering (Qualcomm)
Josef Blanz (Qualcomm) remarked that the linear filter follows faster the real signal in the case there is an increasing ramp, which means that the cell is getting closer and eventually would get included in the active set. Josef noted that it is of highest importance that a cell gets into the active set as fast as possible.
Don Zelmer asked the UE manufacturers if any had real products and data taken from real life on the behaviour of these two filters.
The chairman summarized that the option left are 3: WG4 could recommend to make mandatory in the specification either logarithmic, linear or leave it free for the manufacturers to chose. He also reminded that the reason GSM selected logarithmic was because at that time floating point processing was not available to introduce in the UE.
Finally, no agreement was reached. The chairman will report it to TSG RAN and WG4 will continue to study the issue for at least another meeting.

Decision: The CR is not agreed
R4-021549 BS IPDL test (CR 255 to 25.141 Rel-4) (Siemens)
Due to the discussion on IPDL mask, the document cannot be agreed. This is the first presentation of a CR for the IPDL test.

R4-021554 General corrections to TS 25.141 (CR 257 to 25.141 Rel-4) (Siemens)
The change in table 4.1 requires an update of many references along the TS. A revision of the CR is required to cope with these updates.
Decision: The CR is revised
R4-021671 General corrections to TS 25.141 (CR 257r1 to 25.141 Rel-4) (Siemens)

R4-021558 Transmit intermodulation test correction (CR 261 to 25.141 Rel-5) (Siemens)
Moray Rumnay (Agilent) noted The requirement "the width of the intermod product should be taken into account" is unclear; from a measurement point of view is not obvious how it has to be taken into account when such a wide bandwidth signal falls at the end of the inband test band. Part of the signal would be measured with the inband test procedure and part with the out of band procedure. After off line discussions, it was agreed to keep the CR as is and elaborate a more precise way of running the test in future meetings
Decision: The CRs are agreed
R4-021595 UTRA-FDD BS Receiver protection (Nortel Networks)
Ericsson commented that this proposal is raising many interesting points and issues to consider, and warns about approving CRs on this issue right away. It is proposed to have off line and e-mail discussions before the next meeting.
Decision: The document is noted
R4-021609 Addition of TX Diversity timing accuracy test (CR 263 to 25.141 Rel-5) (Agilent)
Thomas Maucksch (R&S) commented that the test is repeated for Low Med High frequency, it doesn't seem necessary since the result shouldn't vary much from one frequency to another. On the opposite other parameters, like power level, should be varied. Michael Jeck (Ericsson) noted that it might be necessary to test at various frequencies, filter phase response might be different. Finally, a new revision with a single frequency test will be provided.
Decision: The CR is revised
