A.4.1 (void)
A.4.2 Cell Re-Selection
Five scenarios are considered:
– Scenario 1: Single carrier case
– Scenario 2: Multi carrier case
– Scenario 3: Idle mode interfrequency reselection with an increased number of carriers
– Scenario 4: Idle mode intrafrequency reselection with extended DRX cycle
– Scenario 5: Idle mode interfrequency reselection with extended DRX cycle
For each of them a test is proposed.
NOTE: Existing scenarios cover only requirements in section 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.3. More scenarios, covering requirements in section 4.2.2.1, will be added later.
A.4.2.1 Scenario 1: Single carrier case
A.4.2.1.1 Test Purpose and Environment
This test is to verify the requirement for the cell re-selection delay in the single carrier case reported in section 4.2.2.
This scenario implies the presence of 1 carrier and 6 cells as given in tables A.4.1 and A.4.2. The UE is requested to monitor neighbouring cells on 1 carrier. The maximum repetition period of the relevant system info blocks that needs to be received by the UE to camp on a cell shall be 1280 ms. Cell 1 and cell 2 shall belong to different Location Areas.

A.4.4.2 Test Requirements
The cell re-selection delay is defined as the time from the beginning of time period T2, to the moment when the UE camps on Cell 2, and starts to send the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message to perform a Location Registration on cell 2.
The cell re-selection delay shall be less than 8 s.
The rate of correct cell reselections observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.
NOTE: The cell re-selection delay can be expressed as:
TevaluateTDD + TSI
where:
TevaluateTDD See Table 4.1 in section 4.2.2.
TSI Maximum repetition period of relevant system info blocks that needs to be received by the UE to camp on a cell. 1280 ms is assumed in this test case.
This gives a total of 7.68 s, allow 8s in the test case.

A.4.5.3.2 Test Requirements
The UE shall not send preambles on the PRACH before the end of T2.
The cell re-selection delay is defined as the time from the beginning of time period T3, to the moment when the UE camps on Cell 2, and starts to send preambles on the PRACH for sending the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message to perform a Tracking Area Update procedure on Cell 2. The cell re-selection delay shall be less than 21 s.
The rate of correct cell reselections observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%.
NOTE: The cell re-selection delay can be expressed as: Thigher_priority_search + TevaluateEUTRA + TSI, where:
Thigher_priority_search See section 4.2.2, where, this value should be 0s, since the cell2 shall be already indentified at the beginning of T3
TevaluateEUTRA See Table 4.2 in section 4.2.2.5a
TSI Maximum repetition period of relevant system info blocks that needs to be received by the UE to camp on a cell; 1280 ms is assumed in this test case.
This gives a total of 20.48 s, allow 21 s in the test case.
A.4.5.4 E-UTRA FDD is of higher priority (Increased UE carrier monitoring)
A.4.5.4.1 Test Purpose and Environment
This test is to verify the requirement for the UTRA FDD to E-UTRA FDD inter-RAT cell reselection delay for the increased UE carrier monitoring case reported in section 4.2.
The test scenario comprises four different cells, with cell 1 being the UTRA serving cell and cell 2, cell 3 and cell 4 being the E-UTRA FDD cells to be re-selected to. The UE is requested to monitor E-UTRA FDD neighbouring cells on 8 carriers. Test parameters are given in Tables A.4.23, A.4.24, A.4.25, A.4.26, A.4.27. The test consists of seven successive time periods, with time duration of T0, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6 respectively respectively. All cells are identified by the UE during T0. Cell 2, cell 3 and cell 4 are of higher priority than cell 1. Cells 2, 3 and 4 are chosen randomly, such that one frequency belongs to the E-UTRA FDD normal performance group and two frequencies belong to the E-UTRA FDD reduced performance group. The neighbour lists of cells 2, 3 and 4 shall include the frequency of cell 1 (in the UTRA FDD normal performance group) as well as the other frequencies configured to the UE in the test.
Cell 1 and cells 2, 3 and 4 shall all belong to different location areas. Furthermore, UE has not registered with network for the location area containing cells 2, 3 and 4.

A.4.5.4.2 Test Requirements
The cell re-selection delay is defined as the time from the beginning of the relevant time period, to the moment when the UE camps on the target cell, and starts to send preambles on the PRACH for sending the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message to perform a Location Registration on the target cell.

The rate of correct cell reselections observed during repeated tests shall be at least 90%, with a successful reselection counted if it is within the required time regardless of the carrier frequencies involved. At least 90% of reselections to the reduced performance group shall be within the required time and at least 90% of reselections to the normal performance group shall be within the required time, with a successful reselection counted if it is within the required time regardless of the carrier frequencies involved.
NOTE: The cell re-selection delay can be expressed as:
Knorm, EUTRA * TevaluateEUTRA + TSI, for E-UTRA FDD normal performance group = 4*19.2 + 1.28 = 76.8 + 1.28 = 78.08s
Kreduced, EUTRA * 6 * TevaluateEUTRA + TSI, for E-UTRA FDD reduced performance group = 4*6*19.2 + 1.28 = 460.8 + 1.28 = 462.08s
where:
Knorm, EUTRA See section 4.2.2
Kreduced, EUTRA See section 4.2.2
Thigher_priority_search See section 4.2.2
TevaluateEUTRA See Table 4.2 in section 4.2.2.5a
TSI Maximum repetition period of relevant system info blocks that needs to be received by the UE to camp on a cell; 1280 ms is assumed in this test case.
This gives a total of:
78.08 s when Knorm, EUTRA=4 for reselections to E-UTRA FDD normal performance group, allow 78.1s in the test case.
462.08 s when Kreduced, EUTRA=4 for reselections to E-UTRA FDD reduced performance group, allow 462.1s in the test case.
A.4.5A UTRAN to E-UTRA TDD Cell Reselection with Increased Carrier Monitoring
A.4.5A.1 Test Purpose and Environment
This test is to verify the requirement for the UTRA FDD to E-UTRA TDD inter-RAT cell reselection delay for increased carrier monitoring case reported in section 4.2. 3 cells on 3 different carriers are configured on test equipment with Cell 1 being the serving cell and Cells 2 and 3 being the neighbour EUTRA cells such that Cell 2 belongs to the normal performance group and Cell 3 belongs to the reduced performance group. The UE is requested to monitor neighbouring cells on 8 carriers. E-UTRA cells are of higher priority than UTRA.
The test scenario comprises three different cells, with cell 1 being the UTRA serving cell and cell 2 and 3 being the E-UTRA cells to be re-selected to. Test parameters are given in Tables A.4.14A, A.4.15A, A.4.16A, A.4.17A,. The test consists of five successive time periods, with time durations T0, T1, T2, T3 and T4, respectively.
Cell 1, Cell 2, Cell 3 shall belong to different tracking areas. Furthermore, UE has not registered with network for the tracking area containing Cell 2 and Cell 3.

At least 90% of reselections to the reduced performance group shall be within the required time, and at least 90% of reselections to the normal performance group shall be within the required time, with a successful reselection counted if it is within the required time regardless of the carrier frequencies involved.
NOTE: The cell re-selection delay can be expressed as: Knorm, EUTRA * TevaluateEUTRA + TSI for normal performance group and Kreduced, EUTRA * TevaluateE-UTRA + TSI for reduced performance group where:
TevaluateEUTRA See Table 4.2 in section 4.2.2.5a
Knorm, EUTRA Number of E-UTRA carriers in the normal performance group
Kreduced, EUTRA Number of E-UTRA carriers in the reduced performance group
TSI Maximum repetition period of relevant system info blocks that needs to be received by the UE to camp on a cell; 1280 ms is assumed in this test case.
This gives a total of
78.08s when Knorm, EUTRA =4 for reselections to normal performance group, allow 78.1s in the test case.
462.08s when Kreduced, EUTRA =4 for reselections to reduced performance group, allow 462.1s in the test case.
