14.1.1a Generic radio bearer test procedure for standalone AMR RB configurations using SRB#5 for TFC control

34.123-13GPPPart 1: Protocol conformance specificationRelease 15TSUser Equipment (UE) conformance specification

This procedure is used to test single AMR radio bearer configurations that use SRB#5 for TFC control.

Initial conditions

UE in idle mode

Test procedure

a) The SS establish the AMR reference radio bearer configuration as specified in TS 34.108, clause 6.10 for the actual radio bearer test. As part of the RADIO BEARER SETUP the TFC subsets as defined for the actual radio bearer configuration is setup.

b) The SS signals the “TFC subset identity” in the TRANSPORT FORMAT COMBINATION CONTROL message on SRB#5 as specified for the sub-test of the actual AMR radio bearer test. See note 1.

c) The SS closes the test loop using UE test loop mode 1 and setting the UL RLC SDU size parameter, for all radio bearers under test, according to the "UL RLC SDU size" value as specified for the sub-test of the actual radio bearer test. See note 2.

d) The SS transmits, for all radio bearers under test, one or more RLC SDUs having the size equal to the "Test data size" as specified for the sub-test of the actual radio bearer test. See note 3.

e) The SS checks that, for all radio bearers under test, the content of the received RLC SDU has the correct content and is received having the correct transport format. See TS 34.109 [10] clause 5.3.2.6.2 for details regarding the UE loopback of RLC SDUs.

f) The SS opens the UE test loop.

g) Steps b) to f) are repeated for all sub-tests

h) The SS may optionally release the radio bearer.

i) The SS may optionally deactivate the radio bearer test mode.

NOTE 1: The TFC subset associated with the signalled “TFC subset identity” in the TRANSPORT FORMAT COMBINATION CONTROL message is defined by the actual AMR reference radio bearer under test.

NOTE 2: Selection of UL RLC SDU size parameter:
The UL RLC SDU size parameter is set equal to the UL RLC PDU size.

NOTE 3: Selection of test data size:
The test data size is set equal to the DL RLC PDU size.
