7.1 Basic Generic Procedures

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

7.1.1 UE Test States for Basic Generic Procedures

This clause describes a set of procedures for use by test cases in 3GPP TS 34.123-1 [1]. Describing these procedures in a generic manner allows their use in many test cases. By using these procedures, test case descriptions need not detail signalling that is not relevant to its purpose or understanding.

The procedures are based upon default values that are adapted to the most common usage. Test cases that require values different from the default will, when specifying the Basic Generic Procedure, also specify those parameters that are modified.

Figure 7.1.1: UE Test States for Basic Generic Procedures

In order that the UE can set up a call in UTRAN, there are a number of procedures to be undertaken in a hierachical sequence to move between known states. The sequences are shown in figure 7.1.1 and the status of the relevant protocols in the UE in the different states are given in table 7.1.1.

7.1.2 Mobile terminated establishment of Radio Resource Connection

7.1.2.1 Initial conditions

System Simulator:

The system simulator will start from the default idle state. Parameters will the default parameters for a single cell, unless otherwise specified in the test case.

User Equipment:

Unless otherwise specified in the test case, the UE will be in the following state:

– Default test operating conditions.

– The UE shall have followed the generic registration procedure for CS or PS operations, and will be in Idle Mode, Camped-on (State 2 or State 3).

7.1.2.2 Definition of system information messages

The default system information messages are used.

7.1.2.3 Procedure

– The SS sends a PAGING TYPE 1 message to the UE on the appropriate paging block, and with the IE "Paging record" containing the TMSI or P-TMSI of the UUT.

– The SS receives an RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message from the UE.

– On receipt of the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST the SS shall transmit a RRC CONNECTION SETUP message to the UE. The SS shall wait for the receipt of an RRC CONNECTION SETUP COMPLETE message from the UE.

– On receipt of an RRC CONNECTION SETUP COMPLETE message, the procedure is complete.
