7.2.2 UE recognising the priority order of the User controlled PLMN selector list with the same access technology.

7.2.2.1 Definition and applicability

The User controlled PLMN selector list gives in priority order the preferred UPLMNs on which the UE shall register. The Radio Access Technology identifier defines the Radio network in which the UE shall register. The list is stored on the USIM in the EFPLMNwACT. Update and deletion of UPLMNs may be performed by the subscriber by the use of the PIN.

The registration attempts initiated by the terminal accessing UTRAN depends on terminal’s capabilities and can be one of the following:

I. registration procedures for Ues supporting CS or

II. registration procedures for Ues supporting PS or

III. registration procedures for Ues supporting CS/PS

7.2.2.2 Conformance requirement

When registering onto a VPLMN the UE shall take into account the priority order of the UPLMNs in the preferred list on the USIM.

– TS 22.011 [6], clause 3.2.2.

7.2.2.3 Test purpose

To verify that the UPLMN with the higher priority (defined by its position in EFPLMNwACT) takes precedence over the UPLMN with the lower priority when the UE performs a network selection.

7.2.2.4 Method of test

c) 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): 244/083/ 0001

GUTI: "24408300010266436587"

d) After receipt of the AttachComplete during registration from the UE, the E-USS sends RRCConnectionRelease.

e) The UE is soft powered down.

7.2.8 UE recognising the priority order of the User controlled PLMN selector list with the same access technology – E-UTRAN in NB-S1 mode

7.2.8.1 Definition and applicability

The User controlled PLMN selector list gives in priority order the preferred PLMNs of the User on which the UE shall register. The Radio Access Technology identifier defines the Radio network in which the UE shall register. The list is stored on the USIM in the EFPLMNwACT. Update and deletion of User controlled PLMNs may be performed by the subscriber by the use of the PIN.

7.2.8.2 Conformance requirement

When registering onto a VPLMN the UE shall take into account the priority of the ACT identifier in the preferred list on the USIM.

– TS 22.011 [6], clause 3.2.2;

– TS 31.102 [4], clauses 4.2.5 and 5.1.1.2.

7.2.8.3 Test purpose

To verify that the ACT with the higher priority (defined by its position in EFPLMNwACT) takes precedence over the UPLMN with the lower priority when the UE performs a network selection. Hereby the new coding for
E-UTRAN in NB-S1 mode has to be handled correctly by the UE.

7.2.8.4 Method of test

7.2.8.4.1 Initial conditions

For this test 2 NB-IoT-cells are needed.

The NB-SS transmits on BCCH, with the following network parameters:

– TAI (MCC/MNC/TAC): 244/081/0001.

– Access control: unrestricted.

The NB-SS transmits on the BCCH, with the following network parameters:

– TAI (MCC/MNC/TAC): 244/083/0001.
