A.5.2 TDD/FDD Handover
25.1233GPPRelease 17Requirements for support of radio resource management (TDD)TS
A.5.2.1 3.84 Mcps TDD option
A.5.2.1.1 Test purpose and Environment
The purpose of this test is to verify the requirement for the TDD/FDD handover delay in CELL_DCH state reported in section 5.2.2.1.
The test parameters are given in Table A.5.2.1, A.5.2.2 and A.5.2.3 below. In the measurement control information it is indicated to the UE that event-triggered reporting with Event 1G and 2B shall be used. The CPICH_RSCP of the best cell on the unused frequency shall be reported together with Event 2B reporting. 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 2B. The starting point of T3 is defined as the end of the last TTI containing the physical channel reconfiguration message.
