0 Introduction p. 6
The present document investigates on the suitability of 3GPP existing specifications for testing UEs featuring non-traditional earpieces.
UEs featuring non-traditional earpieces may pose challenges for handset mode acoustic testing. For example, a UE may exclusively use a vibrating display to produce sound when operating in handset mode, offering no clearly identifiable centre of an earpiece to position the headset for testing. Additionally, such UE could have its acoustic response affected by the choice of handset positioner mechanism.
The present document documents studies conducted and concludes with a summary of challenges identified and gap analysis of existing 3GPP specifications.
1 Scope p. 7
The present document reports on investigations of testing UEs featuring non-traditional earpieces, and identifies related gaps to existing 3GPP specifications and recommended test equipment.
