A.5.8.1.2 1.28Mcps TDD option
The purpose of this test is to verify the requirement for the delay when performing the Inter-RAT cell change order from UTRAN TDD to GSM(GPRS) specified in section 5.8.
The test parameters are given in Table A.5.8.1, A.5.8.2, and A.5.8.3 below.
The SS starts the UTRAN cell and brings the UE into PS-DCCH+DTCH_DCH. The SS starts GPRS cell, then sends CELL CHANGE ORDER FROM UTRAN indicating the target cell description, GPRS cell, to the UE through DCCH of the serving UTRAN cell.
After UE receives the command it shall configure itself accordingly and switch to the new channel on the target GPRS cell. The SS checks whether the cell change is performed by checking that the UE receives a successful response to the CHANNEL REQUEST message from the SS through GPRS cell.
The test consists of three successive time periods, with a time duration of T1, T2 and T3 respectively. The UTRAN shall send CELL CHANGE ORDER FROM UTRAN message. The start of T3 is defined as the end of the last TTI containing the CELL CHANGE ORDER FROM UTRAN.

1) The test is started at the beginning of T1.
2) During time period T2, UTRAN shall send CELL CHANGE ORDER FROM UTRAN message.
3) The start of T3 is defined as the end of the last TTI containint the CELL CHANGE ORDER FROM UTRAN.

A.5.8.2 Test Requirements
A.5.8.2.1 3.84Mcps TDD option
Void.
A.5.8.2.2 1.28Mcps TDD option
The UE shall begin to transmit on the new RACH of the target cell less than 190ms + TBCCH + TRA from the beginning of time period T3. The rate of correct handovers observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90% with a confidence level of 95 %.
NOTE: The test requirement in this case is expressed as:
TCCO delay = 190ms + TBCCH+ TRA or
TCCO delay = 90ms + TBCCH+ TRA
190ms: is delay switch from UTRAN to GSM when UE has not synchronised to the GSM cell before the CELL CHANGE ORDER FROM UTRAN is received; when UE has synchronised to the GSM cell before the CELL CHANGE ORDER FROM UTRAN is received, delay switch from UTRAN to GSM is 90ms.
TBCCH is the maximum time allowed to read BCCH data from GSM cell. According to TS 45.002, the maximum time allowed to read the BCCH data, when being synchronized to a BCCH carrier, is 7.6s (in order to read System Information type 13).
TRA The additional delay caused by the random access procedure in the GSM cell, is 10 ms (2 GSM radio frames).
