A.5.1.1.1 Handover to intra-frequency cell

A.5.1.1.1.1 Test Purpose and Environment

The purpose of this test is to verify the requirement for the intra-frequency handover delay in CELL_DCH state in the single carrier case reported in section 5.1.2.1.

The test parameters are given in Table A.5.1.1 and A.5.1.2 below. In the measurement control information it is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Event 1G shall be used, and that P-CCPCH RSCP and SFN-CFN observed timed difference shall be reported together with Event 1G. The test consists of three successive time periods, with a time duration of T1, T2 and T3 respectively. At the start of time duration T1, the UE may not have any timing information of cell 2.

UTRAN shall send a Physical Channel reconfiguration message with activation time "now" with a new active cell, cell 2. The Physical Channel reconfiguration message shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the UE has reported event 1G. The starting point of T3 is definied as the end of the last TTI containing the physical channel reconfiguration message.

The second Beacon timeslot shall be provided in timeslot 8 for both cell 1 and cell 2. The UL DPCH shall be transmitted in timeslot 12.

A.5.1.1.2 Handover to inter-frequency cell

A.5.1.1.2.1 Test Purpose and Environment

The purpose of this test is to verify the requirement for the inter-frequency handover delay in CELL_DCH state in the dual carrier case reported in section 5.1.2.1.

The test consists of two successive time periods, with a time duration T1 and T2. The test parameters are given in tables A.5.1.3 and A.5.1.4 below. In the measurement control information it is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Event 2C shall be used. The PCCPCH RSCP and SFN-CFN observed time difference of the best cell on the unused frequency shall be reported together with Event 2C reporting. At the start of time duration T1, the UE may not have any timing information of cell 2.

UTRAN shall send a Physical Channel reconfiguration message with activation time "now" with one active cell, cell 2. The Physical Channel reconfiguration message shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the UE has reported event 2C. The starting point of T3 is defined as the end of the last TTI containing the physical channel reconfiguration message.

The second Beacon timeslot shall be provided in timeslot 8 for cell 1 and in timeslot 10 for cell 2. The UL DPCH shall be transmitted in timeslot 12.

A.5.1.2.3.1.2 Test Requirements

The UE shall start to transmit the UL DPCH to cell 2 less than 160 ms from the beginning of time period T3.

The rate of correct handovers observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.

A.5.1.2.3.2 Scenario 2

This test case is applicable for UE handovers from primary frequency to secondary frequency in multi-band network.

A.5.1.2.3.2.1 Test Purpose and Environment

The purpose of this test is to verify the requirement for the inter-frequency handover delay in CELL_DCH in the case as reported in section 5.1.2.1.2.

In cell 1, the primary frequency uses frequency b of band a, and the secondary frequency uses frequencies a and c of band a. In cell 2, the primary frequency uses frequency e of band a, and the secondary frequency uses frequencies d and f of band f.

The test consists of three successive time periods, with a time duration T1, T2 and T3. The test parameters are given in tables A.5.1.8C and A.5.1.8D below. In the measurement control information it is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Event 2C shall be used. The PCCPCH RSCP and SFN-CFN observed timed difference of the best cell on the unused frequency shall be reported together with Event 2C reporting. At the start of time duration T1, the UE may not have any timing information of cell 2.

UTRAN shall send a Physical Channel reconfiguration with activation time "now" with a new active cell, cell 2. The Physical Channel reconfiguration message shall be sent to the UE during period T2, after the UE has reported event 2C. The starting point of T3 is defined as the end of the last TTI containing the physical channel reconfiguration message.
