5.5 Handling of operator controlled features

31.1213GPPRelease 16TSUICC-terminal interfaceUniversal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) application test specification

5.5.1 Display of registered 5G PLMN name from USIM

5.5.1.1 Definition and applicability

If the operator’s decision, as indicated by the USIM, is that the ME shall use EFOPL5G in association with EFPNN or EFPNNI to display the Operator 5G PLMN name from USIM, then the ME shall be able to associate the prioritised list of Tracking Area Identity (TAI) identities for NG-RAN in EFOPL5G with the the operator name contained in EFPNN. This prioritized list takes precedence over any network name stored within the ME’s internal list and any network name received when registered to the PLMN, as defined by TS 24.501 [42].

5.5.1.2 Conformance requirement

1) EFOPL5G association with the EFPNN shall be performed by the USIM if service n°129 is "available" in EFUST.

2) The ME shall display the correct Operator network name per 4.4.11.9 in TS 31.102 [4].

Reference:

– TS 31.102 [4], clauses 4.4.11.9.

– TS 24.008 [16], clause 10.5.3.5a

5.5.1.3 Test purpose

1) To verify that ME displays the 5G Operator PLMN name correctly for the following cases.

a) Entire range of TAC for a specific PLMN is configured in EFOPL5G.

b) Specific range of TAC for a specific PLMN is configured in EFOPL5G.

c) Specific TAC for a specific PLMN is configured in EFOPL5G.
