10 CSG list handling
31.1213GPPRelease 16TSUICC-terminal interfaceUniversal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) application test specification
10.1 CSG list handling for E-UTRA
10.1.1 Automatic CSG selection in E-UTRA with CSG list on USIM, success
10.1.1.1 Definition and applicability
A Closed Subscriber Group identifies subscribers of an operator who are permitted to access one or more cells of the PLMN but which have restricted access (CSG cells). A CSG cell is part of the PLMN, broadcasting a CSG indication that is set to TRUE and a specific CSG identity. A CSG cell is accessible by the members of the closed subscriber group for that CSG identity. For a CSG cell, the UE shall check the broadcast CSG ID against the Allowed CSG list provided by NAS to check whether a CSG cell is suitable for the UE.
10.1.1.2 Conformance requirement
When a UE in idle mode detects the presence of a permissible CSG cell (a CSG cell whose CSG identity is in the UE’s permitted CSG list), the UE shall select the CSG cell.
The ME shall read the allowed CSG IDs from EFACSGL in order to perform HNB selection procedures. The lists in EFACSGL shall take precedence over the list stored in the ME non-volatile memory.
If the MS supports CSG, it is provisioned with a list of allowed CSG identities and associated PLMN identities from the USIM if the list is available in the USIM.
– TS 22.011 [6], clause 8.2.2.1;
– TS 31.102 [4], clauses 4.4.6.2 and 5.8.1;
– TS 23.122 [31], clause 3.1A.
10.1.1.3 Test purpose
To verify that the ME only selects a CSG cell if the CSG IDs of the cell is found in the allowed CSG IDs from EFACSGL
10.1.1.4 Method of test
10.1.1.4.1 Initial conditions
For this test an E-USS is required.
The E-USS transmits on two cells, with the following network parameters:
– TAI (MCC/MNC/TAC): 246/081/0001.
– Access control: unrestricted.
– csg-Indication: TRUE
– csg-Identity: 05
– TAI (MCC/MNC/TAC): 246/081/0002.
– Access control: unrestricted.
– csg-Indication: TRUE
– csg-Identity: 04
The default E-UTRAN UICC is used.
The UICC is installed into the Terminal and the UE is set to automatic PLMN selection mode.
10.1.1.4.2 Procedure
a) The UE is powered on.
b) After 2 minutes the E-USS stops all RF output for the first cell with TAI 246/081/0001 on the BCCH for a long enough period of time to cause a cell reselection procedure in the UE. The BCCH is changed to contain:
– csg-Identity: 03
The E-USS then resumes RF output on the BCCH.
c) After receipt of an RRCConnectionRequest from the UE on the E-UTRAN-cell related to the BCCH transmitting TAI 246/081/0001, the E-USS sends RRCConnectionSetup to the UE, followed by RRCConnectionSetupComplete sent by the UE to the E-USS.
d) During registration and after receipt of a AttachRequest from the UE, the E-USS initiates authentication, starts integrity by using the security procedure and sends AttachAccept with to the UE:
TAI (MCC/MNC/TAC): 246/081/ 0001
GUTI: "24608100010266436587"
e) After receipt of the AttachComplete during registration from the UE, the E-USS sends RRCConnectionRelease to the UE.
f) The UE is soft powered down.
10.1.1.5 Acceptance criteria
1) After steps a) the terminal shall not attempt an Attach procedure.
2) After step b) the UE shall send an RRCConnectionRequest on the E-UTRAN-cell related to the BCCH transmitting TAI 246/081/0001 to the e-USS.
3) During step c) the terminal shall send AttachRequest to the E-USS.
4) After step d) the terminal shall respond with AttachComplete during registration.
5) After step e) the USIM shall contain the following values:

EFACSGL (Allowed CSG Lists)
Content not changed, shall be the same as defined in clause 4.4.5.
10.1.5 CSG selection in E-UTRA with no CSG list on USIM, no IMSI change
10.1.5.1 Definition and applicability
A Closed Subscriber Group identifies subscribers of an operator who are permitted to access one or more cells of the PLMN but which have restricted access (CSG cells). A CSG cell is part of the PLMN, broadcasting a CSG indication that is set to TRUE and a specific CSG identity. A CSG cell is accessible by the members of the closed subscriber group for that CSG identity. For a CSG cell, the UE shall check the broadcast CSG ID against the Allowed CSG list provided by NAS to check whether a CSG cell is suitable for the UE.
A UE supporting CSG selection selects CSG cell either automatically based on the list of allowed CSG identities or manually based on user selection of CSG on indication of list of available CSGs.
10.1.5.2 Conformance requirement
In manual CSG selection mode, the ME indicates to the user the list of available CSGs in the currently selected PLMN. The list of CSGs presented to the user is not restricted by the allowed CSG list.
If the MS supports CSG, it is provisioned with a list of allowed CSG identities and associated PLMN identities from the USIM if the list is available in the USIM.
If the UE supporting CSG selection has attempted manual CSG selection, the UE, when receiving the TRACKING AREA UPDATE ACCEPT message, shall check if the CSG ID of the cell where the UE has sent the TRACKING AREA UPDATE REQUEST message is contained in the Allowed CSG list. If not, the UE shall add that CSG ID to the Allowed CSG list.
If the corresponding file is not present on the USIM, these EMM parameters except allowed CSG list are stored in a non-volatile memory in the ME together with the IMSI from the USIM. The allowed CSG list is stored in a non-volatile memory in the ME if the UE supports CSG selection. These EMM parameters can only be used if the IMSI from the USIM matches the IMSI stored in the non-volatile memory; else the UE shall delete the EMM parameters.
– TS 31.102 [4], clauses 4.4.6.2 and 5.8.1;
– TS 23.122 [31], clause 3.1A.
– TS 24.301 [26], clause 5.5.3.2.4 and Annex C.
10.1.5.3 Test purpose

10.1.6 CSG selection in E-UTRA with no CSG list on USIM, with IMSI change
10.1.6.1 Definition and applicability
A Closed Subscriber Group identifies subscribers of an operator who are permitted to access one or more cells of the PLMN but which have restricted access (CSG cells). A CSG cell is part of the PLMN, broadcasting a CSG indication that is set to TRUE and a specific CSG identity. A CSG cell is accessible by the members of the closed subscriber group for that CSG identity. For a CSG cell, the UE shall check the broadcast CSG ID against the Allowed CSG list provided by NAS to check whether a CSG cell is suitable for the UE.
A UE supporting CSG selection selects CSG cell either automatically based on the list of allowed CSG identities or manually based on user selection of CSG on indication of list of available CSGs.
10.1.6.2 Conformance requirement
In manual CSG selection mode, the ME indicates to the user the list of available CSGs in the currently selected PLMN. The list of CSGs presented to the user is not restricted by the allowed CSG list..
If the MS supports CSG, it is provisioned with a list of allowed CSG identities and associated PLMN identities from the USIM if the list is available in the USIM.
If the UE supporting CSG selection has attempted manual CSG selection, the UE, when receiving the TRACKING AREA UPDATE ACCEPT message, shall check if the CSG ID of the cell where the UE has sent the TRACKING AREA UPDATE REQUEST message is contained in the Allowed CSG list. If not, the UE shall add that CSG ID to the Allowed CSG list.
If the corresponding file is not present on the USIM, these EMM parameters except allowed CSG list are stored in a non-volatile memory in the ME together with the IMSI from the USIM. The allowed CSG list is stored in a non-volatile memory in the ME if the UE supports CSG selection. These EMM parameters can only be used if the IMSI from the USIM matches the IMSI stored in the non-volatile memory; else the UE shall delete the EMM parameters.

10.1.7 Manual CSG selection without display restrictions in E-UTRA with ACSG list and OCSG list on USIM
10.1.7.1 Definition and applicability
A Closed Subscriber Group identifies subscribers of an operator who are permitted to access one or more cells of the PLMN but which have restricted access (CSG cells). A CSG cell is part of the PLMN, broadcasting a CSG indication that is set to TRUE and a specific CSG identity. A CSG cell is accessible by the members of the closed subscriber group for that CSG identity. For a CSG cell, the UE shall check the broadcast CSG ID against the Allowed CSG list provided by NAS to check whether a CSG cell is suitable for the UE.
A UE supporting CSG selection selects a CSG cell either automatically based on the list of allowed CSG identities or manually based on user selection of CSG on indication of list of available CSGs.
Editor’s note: it is still being investigated whether the testing of Automatic CSG selection should be performed using a separate test case or an enhanced version of the Manual CSG selection test case.
10.1.7.2 Conformance requirement
The ME shall read the allowed CSG IDs from EFACSGL and EFOCSGL in order to perform HNB selection procedures. The lists in EFACSGL and EFOCSGL shall take precedence over the list stored in the ME non-volatile memory.
If the MS supports CSG, it is provisioned with a list of allowed CSG identities and associated PLMN identities from the USIM if the list is available in the USIM.
If the UE supporting CSG selection has attempted manual CSG selection, the UE, when receiving the TRACKING AREA UPDATE ACCEPT message, shall check if the CSG ID of the cell where the UE has sent the TRACKING AREA UPDATE REQUEST message is contained in the Allowed CSG list. If not, the UE shall add that CSG ID to the Allowed CSG list EFACSGL.
By default, the UE shall display all available CSGs for any PLMN, unless the UE has been configured by the HPLMN,
for a specific PLMN, to display only CSGs in the Operator CSG List that are available.

EFOCSGL (Operator CSG Lists)
Unchanged values as defined in 4.6.3
10.2 CSG list handling for UTRA
10.2.1 Manual CSG selection without display restrictions in UTRA with ACSG list and OCSG list on USIM
10.2.1.1 Definition and applicability
A Closed Subscriber Group identifies subscribers of an operator who are permitted to access one or more cells of the PLMN but which have restricted access (CSG cells). A CSG cell is part of the PLMN, broadcasting a CSG indication that is set to TRUE and a specific CSG identity. A CSG cell is accessible by the members of the closed subscriber group for that CSG identity. For a CSG cell, the UE shall check the broadcast CSG ID against the Allowed CSG list provided by NAS to check whether a CSG cell is suitable for the UE.
A UE supporting CSG selection selects a CSG cell either automatically based on the list of allowed CSG identities or manually based on user selection of CSG on indication of list of available CSGs.
Editor’s note: it is still being investigated whether the testing of Automatic CSG selection should be performed using a separate test case or an enhanced version of the Manual CSG selection test case.
10.2.1.2 Conformance requirement
The ME shall read the allowed CSG IDs from EFACSGL and EFOCSGL in order to perform HNB selection procedures. The lists in EFACSGL and EFOCSGL shall take precedence over the list stored in the ME non-volatile memory.
If the MS supports CSG, it is provisioned with a list of allowed CSG identities and associated PLMN identities from the USIM if the list is available in the USIM.
If the UE supporting CSG selection has attempted manual CSG selection, the UE, when receiving the ROUTING AREA UPDATE ACCEPT message, shall check if the CSG ID of the cell where the UE has sent the ROUTING AREA UPDATE REQUEST message is contained in the Allowed CSG list. If not, the UE shall add that CSG ID to the Allowed CSG list EFACSGL.
By default, the UE shall display all available CSGs for any PLMN, unless the UE has been configured by the HPLMN,
for a specific PLMN, to display only CSGs in the Operator CSG List that are available.
– TS 31.102 [4], clauses 4.2.18, 4.4.6.2, 4.4.6.5 and 5.8.1;
– TS 23.122 [31], clause 3.1A.
– TS 22.220 [34], clause 5.3.2 and 5.5.4
10.2.1.3 Test purpose
To verify that the ME adds the CSG ID to the Allowed CSG list in EFACSGL in case this CSG ID belongs to the cell where the ME has sent the ROUTING AREA UPDATE REQUEST message which was accepted by the USS.
During the manual CSG selection all available CSG ID shall be displayed without restrictions.
10.2.1.4 Method of test
10.2.1.4.1 Initial conditions
