6.8 Compressed mode parameters

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

In this clause, Parameters for reference compressed mode patterns are defined which are used in signalling test cases such as inter frequency FDD measurement, inter frequency TDD measurement and inter RAT measurement in 3GPP TS 34.123-1 [1]. These parameters are defined in 3GPP TS 25.133 [30] for measurement performance tests.

Depending on UE capability, there are four methods constructed of three types using of compressed mode such as UL only, DL only and both UL and DL, and using without application of compressed for the above measurement purposes. As test requirement is the same even if the test methods are different, ICS/IXIT statement is applied to the test cases so that the test procedure and specific message contents specified in 3GPP TS 34.123-1 [1] can be distinguished.
