A.5.5.4 Cell Reselection during an MBMS session, two frequencies present in neighbour list

25.1333GPPRelease 17Requirements for support of radio resource management (FDD)TS

A.5.5.4.1 Test Purpose and Environment

The purpose of this test is to verify the requirement for the cell identification for UEs in an MBMS PTM session and the required functionality on measurement occasions by use of a cell re-selection test case.

The test parameters are given in tables A.5.4F, A.5.4G, A.5.4H, A.5.4I, A.5.4J and A.5.4K. The UE is requested to receive the MBMS service and monitor neighbouring cells on 2 carriers. 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.

A.5.5.4.2 Test Requirements

The cell re-reselection delay is defined as the time from the beginning of time period T3, to the moment when the UE camps on Cell 1, and starts to send preambles on the PRACH for sending the CELL UPDATE message with cause value "cell reselection" in Cell 1.

The cell re-selection delay shall be less than 1.9s.

During T1 and T2 the MTCH SDU ER shall not exceed 4.0%.

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

NOTE: The cell re-selection delay in this case is expressed as:

ms,

where:

TMeasuremnt, inter Specified in 8.4.2.3.2 as 480ms

Tidentify, interi Specified in 8.4.2.3.1 as 2.72 s in this case, thus 3sec for T2 is sufficient for identification of cell 1.

Note: The calculation based on the S-CCPCH carrying the FACH provides a measurement occasion of 20ms repeated every 80ms. As the MTCH TTI length is only 40ms this has to be shortened to a gap of 10ms every 80ms, the re-selection delay is based upon.

TSI: The time required for receiving all the relevant system information data according to the reception procedure and the RRC procedure delay of system information blocks defined in 25.331 for a UTRAN cell.1280 ms is assumed in this test case.

Note: Since 1280 ms is one of the typical values for repeating system information blocks, TSI of 1280 ms could be increased by the RRC procedure delay in order to allow the SIB repetition period of 1280 ms.

TRA: TRA is a delay is caused by the physical random access procedure described in TS 25.214 section 6.1. A persistence value is assumed to be 1 in this test case and therefore TRA in this test case is 40 ms.

Note: The maximum allowed time to be used to perform the measurements for a UE in an MBMS session may be smaller than the duration of the measurement occasion to fulfill the MBMS demodulation performance.

This gives a total of 1.83 s, allow 1,9s in the test case.
