6.10 Reference Radio Bearer configurations used in Radio Bearer interoperability testing

34.1083GPPCommon test environments for User Equipment (UE)Conformance testingRelease 15TS

The reference radio bearer configurations are typical configurations of the radio interface. This sub-set of the mandatory set of radio bearer configurations supported by the UE is intended to be used as test configurations for testing of the UE. The purpose of the reference radio bearer configurations is to ensure interoperability of UE’s in different regions and networks.

The reference radio bearer configurations are used in the radio bearer interoperability test cases, clause 14 of 3GPP TS 34.123-1 [1]. The reference radio bearer configurations are also intended to be the first choice for other test cases where a radio bearer configuration is needed. For test cases requiring alternative configurations not provided by the reference radio bearer configurations then these specific radio bearer configurations are either specified in the actual test case itself; or in case the configurations are used by more than one test case then these common radio bearer configurations are specified in clause 6.11 of the present document.

NOTE: If not specifically specified then the mid-value of the RM attribute value range as specified by the actual reference radio bearer configuration shall be applied for testing. However, in the case of UL and DL:3.4 kbps SRBs for DCCH and where the Choice "Same As UL" is used for the IE "DL Transport channel information common for all transport channel", the RM attribute for the "DL:3.4 kbps SRBs for DCCH" shall be set to the same value as that used in the Uplink.
