12.1 EFNASCONFIG – NAS signaling priority handling

12.1.1 Definition and applicability

If the UE is configured for NAS signalling priority (see 3GPP TS 24.368 [36], 3GPP TS 31.102 [4]), the UE shall indicate this by including the Device properties IE in the appropriate NAS message and setting the low priority indicator to "MS is configured to NAS signalling low priority". This NAS signalling low priority indication can be used by the network for NAS level mobility management congestion control on a per core network node basis and APN based congestion control.

The test case is covered in TS 34.123-1 [38] clauses 9.4.3.7, 9.4.5.5, 11.1.1.3, 11.1.1.4, 11.1.3.4, 11.2.2.3, 12.4.1.1e and 12.4.3.2a. Refer to CR #0229 for details.

12.1.5 Void

12.2 EFNASCONFIG – NMO I Network Mode of Operation I handling

12.2.1 Definition and applicability

The behaviour of the UE with respect to NMO I is determined by the combination of PS domain specific system information IE and the setting of the parameter "NMO_I_Behaviour" in the NAS configuration Management Object as specified in 3GPP TS 24.368 [36] or in USIM file NASCONFIG as specified in 3GPP TS 31.102 [4].

The test case is covered in TS 34.123-1 [38] clause 12.2.2.3a. Refer to CR #0230 for details.

12.3 EFNASCONFIG – Attach with IMSI handling

12.3.1 Definition and applicability

The AttachWithIMSI leaf indicates whether attach with IMSI is performed when moving to a non-equivalent PLMN as specified in 3GPP TS 24.008 [16] and 3GPP TS 24.301 [26].

The test case is covered in TS 34.123-1 [38] clause 12.2.1.1a. Refer to CR #0224 for details.

12.3.3 Void

12.3.4 Void

12.3.5 Void

12.4 EFNASCONFIG – Verifying Minimum Periodic Search Timer

12.4.1 Definition and applicability

The MinimumPeriodicSearchTimer leaf gives a minimum value in minutes for the timer T controlling the periodic search for higher prioritized PLMNs as specified in 3GPP TS 23.122 [31].

If the MS is configured for Fast First Higher Priority PLMN search and the MinimumPeriodicSearchTimer is configured as specified in 3GPP TS 24.368 [36] or 3GPP TS 31.102 [4], the MS shall not use a value for T that is less than the MinimumPeriodicSearchTimer.

12.5 EFNASCONFIG – Extended access barring handling

12.5.1 Definition and applicability

Extended Access Barring (EAB) is a mechanism to control Mobile Originating access attempts from UEs that are configures for EAB in order to prevent overload for the access network and/or the core network. In congestion situations, the operator can restrict access from UEs configured for EAB while permitting access from other UEs.

The ExtendedAccessBarring leaf indicates whether the extended access barring is applicable for the UE as specified in 3GPP TS 24.008 [16] and 3GPP TS 24.301 [26].

The test case is covered in TS 34.123-1 [38] clauses 8.1.1.20, 9.4.11, 12.2.1.16 and 12.4.1.9. Refer to CR #0226 for details.

a) The UE shall be powered on where the UICC is configured as defined in b) in the initial conditions and the E-USS starts to send only on the BCCH with the MCC/MNC 244/003.

b) After receipt of AttachRequest from the UE, the E-USS sends Attach Reject message with:

– EMM cause set to #15: "No suitable cells in tracking area",

– Extended EMM cause IE: "E-UTRAN not allowed"

c) The E-USS starts to send on the BCCH with MCC/MNC 244/003 and the USS starts to send on the BCCH with MCC/MNC 244/003.

d) After receipt of an RRCConnectionRequest from the UE, the USS sends RRCConnectionSetup to the UE, followed by RRCConnectionSetupComplete sent by the UE to the USS.

e) The UE is powered down.

12.10.5 Acceptance criteria

a) After power on in step a) the UE shall read EFNASCONFIG

b) In step d) the UE shall send a RRCConnectionRequest on the UTRAN-cell related to the BCCH transmitting MCC/MNC 244/003 to the USS.

12.11 EFNASCONFIG – SM_RetryWaitTime

12.11.1 Definition and applicability

The "SM_RetryWaitTime" indicates a configured UE retry wait time value applicable when in HPLMN or EHPLMN (see 3GPP TS 23.122 [31]) for controlling the UE session management retry behaviour when prior session management request was rejected by the network with cause value #8, #27, #32, #33 as specified in 3GPP TS 24.008 [16] and 3GPP TS 24.301 [26].

SM_RetryWaitTime shall be coded in the same format as the value part of GPRS Timer 3 IE as specified in Table 10.5.163a/3GPP TS 24.008 [16] converted into a decimal value.

12.11.2 Conformance requirement

For NAS configuration parameter by USIM, the UE shall check and apply the setting present in EFNASCONFIG for "SM_RetryWaitTime" to connect to the network.

Reference:

– TS 31.102 [4], clauses 4.2.94, 5.2.29

– TS 24.368 [36], clause 5.10c.

– TS 24.008 [16], clauses 6.1.3.1.3.3, 10.5.7.4a.

12.11.3 Test purpose

1) To verify that the UE reads the NAS configuration stored on the USIM.

2) To verify that the UE applies the USIM stored NAS configuration correctly to connect to the USS.

3) To verify that the UE behaves as described in TS 24.008 [16] clause 6.1.3.1.3.3, using the default value of 12 minutes for the back-off timer when the SM Retry Timer value is not configured.

4) To verify that the UE behaves as described in TS 24.008 [16] clause 6.1.3.1.3.3, using the configured SM Retry Timer value as back-off timer value.

12.11.4 Method of test

12.11.4.1 Initial conditions

a) The USS transmits on BCCH, with the following network parameters:

– Attach/detach: disabled.

– LAI (MCC/MNC/LAC): 246/081/0001.

– RAI (MCC/MNC/LAC/RAC): 246/081/0001/05.

– Access control: unrestricted.

b) The default Non Access Stratum Configuration UICC is installed into the Terminal with the following exception:

EFNASCONFIG (Non Access Stratum Configuration)

Logically:

NAS signalling priority value: Reserved (NAS signalling low priority is not used)

NMO I Behaviour value: "NMO I, Network Mode of Operation I" indication is not used

Attach with IMSI value: normal behaviour is applied

Minimum Periodic Search Timer value: 00

Extended access barring value: extended access barring is not applied for the UE

Timer T3245 Behaviour value: T3245 not used

Override NAS signalling low priority: Indicates that the UE cannot override the NAS signalling low priority indicator

Override Extended access barring: Indicates that the UE cannot override extended access barring

Fast First Higher Priority PLMN Search: Indicates that the Fast First Higher Priority PLMN Search is not enabled

EUTRA Disabling Allowed For EMM

Cause15: disabled

SM_RetryWaitTime: 60 seconds

SM_RetryAtRATChange: UE is allowed to retry the corresponding ESM procedure in S1 mode if an SM procedure was rejected in A/Gb or Iu mode, and to retry the corresponding SM procedure in A/Gb or Iu mode if an ESM procedure was rejected in S1 mode.

12.11.4.2 Procedure

a) The UE is powered on where the UICC is configured as defined in b) in the initial conditions.

b) User request activate a PDP context. After receipt of ACTIVATE PDP CONTEXT REQUEST from the UE, the USS sends ACTIVATE PDP CONTEXT REJECT to the UE indicating:

– SM cause value #8: operator determined barring;

c) User request activate a PDP context and the UE sends ACTIVATE PDP CONTEXT REQUEST, the USS sends ACTIVATE PDP CONTEXT ACCEPT to the UE.

d) The UE is powered down.

12.11.5 Acceptance criteria

a) After power on in step a) the UE shall read EFNASCONFIG

b) In step c) the UE shall send ACTIVATE PDP CONTEXT REQUEST message after the SM_RetryWaitTime of 1 minute has expired.

12.12 EFNASCONFIG – SM_RetryAtRATChange

12.12.1 Definition and applicability

The "SM_RetryAtRATChange" indicates the UE’s retry behaviour when in HPLMN or EHPLMN (see 3GPP TS 23.122 [31]) after inter-system change between S1 mode and A/Gb or Iu mode as specified in 3GPP TS 24.008 [16] and 3GPP TS 24.301 [26].
