14.1.4 General information interoperability radio bearer tests for E-DCH and HS-DSCH combinations
34.123-13GPPPart 1: Protocol conformance specificationRelease 15TSUser Equipment (UE) conformance specification
14.1.4.1 Generic test procedure for HS-DSCH and E-DCH radio bearer combinations
This procedure is used to test E-DCH radio bearer combinations. The procedure is run once for each sub-test of the actual E-DCH radio bearer test case.
NOTE: This test procedure is based on the generic test procedure for radio bearer combinations on HS-DSCH and DCH in section 14.1.3.5. As the testing of DTCH mapped to HS-DSCH is considered well covered by the radio bearer test cases for radio bearer combinations on HS-DSCH and DCH then the focus in this test procedure is on the uplink DTCH mapped to E-DCH. The main difference compared to the generic test procedure in 14.1.3.5 is that for DTCH mapped to HS-DSCH only one TFRC test point and one HARQ process alternative is tested.
Definition of test variables:
|
Ncodes |
The number of HS-DSCH codes (1..15, maximum number dependent on UE category) as specified by the sub-test. |
|
M |
The type of modulation scheme (QPSK, 16QAM) as specified by the sub-test. |
|
NPDUs |
The number of MAC-d PDUs for the DTCH(s) mapped on HS-DSCH as specified by the sub-test. |
|
HID |
The HARQ process identifier (0..7) as specified by the sub-test. |
Initial conditions
UE in idle mode
Test procedure
a) The SS establish the reference radio bearer configuration as specified in TS 34.108, clause 6.10 for the actual radio bearer test. For the case when the reference radio bearer configuration includes radio bearers for both CS and PS domain then the radio bearer setup procedure has to be performed once per domain. The first radio bearer setup procedure shall perform configuration of the physical channel for the radio bearer combination under test as well as the transport channels for the CS radio bearer(s). The second radio bearer procedure shall perform the configuration for the transport channel for the PS radio bearers . The Physical channel configuration shall be done for both CS and PS radio bearers combined. Here the transport format combination set for both CS and PS radio bearers shall be provided. See note 1 and note 3.
b) For DTCH mapped to DCH in uplink the SS limits the UE allowed uplink transport format combinations according to the "Restricted UL TFCIs", as specified for the sub-test of the actual radio bearer test, using the RRC transport format combination control procedure. See note 2.
c) The SS closes the test loop using UE test loop mode 1 and set 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.
d) The SS issues an absolute grant that allows the UE to send at maximum bit rate (index 31).
e) The SS sets the HS-DSCH TFRC test point as specified for the sub-test using table 9.2.3.1 in [6] (NPDUs , M, Ncodes and TFRI).
f) The SS sets HID to the number of HARQ processes specified for the sub-test.
h) The SS transmits, for each DTCH mapped to HS-DSCH, a DL RLC SDUs having the size equal the to the “Test data size” as specified for the sub-test concatenated into a MAC-hs PDU using the selected TFRC and HID. If the radio bearer combination under test includes downlink DTCHs mapped to DCH then the SS transmits, for all DTCHs mapped to DCH, one or more RLC SDUs having the size equal to the "Test data size" as specified for the sub-test.
i) The SS checks that the content of the UE returned RLC SDUs have the correct content and are 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.
j) The SS opens the UE test loop.
l) The SS release the radio bearer. See note 4.
m) Steps a) to l) are repeated for all sub-tests. See note 5.
n) The SS may optionally deactivate the radio bearer test mode.
NOTE 1: The SS configures the physical channel parameters according to the actual UE category under test. The number of soft channel bits per HARQ process is split equally among the number of HARQ processes configured for the actual sub-test – i.e. “Total number of soft channel bits” for the UE category according to table 14.1.3.1.1 divided by the number of HARQ processes under test. The number of reordering queues is 1 for single HS-DSCH radio bearer configurations. The MAC-hs window size, RLC Transmission window size and RLC Receiving window size shall be configured as specified for the actual sub-test.
NOTE 2: The restricted set of uplink TFCIs shall contain all possible TFCI that could happen in a sub-test. The actual TTI of the different radio bearers and signalling radio bearers as well as the possible UE processing delays shall be taken into consideration. The restricted set of TFCIs must comply with the minimum set of TFCIs as specified in TS 25.331, clause 8.6.5.2.
NOTE 3: The MAC-hs window size and RLC Receiver and transmitter window sizes need to be chosen such that the UE capability for “Minimum total RLC AM and MAC-hs buffer size” is not exceeded for the UE category under test.
NOTE 4: The Secondary scrambling code in the RADIO BEARER RELEASE message is set to the same value used in the RADIO BEARER SETUP MESSAGE.
NOTE 5: CS radio bearer is setup once during the first sub-test.

14.1.4.1c Generic test procedure for Dual-Cell HS-DSCH and Dual-Cell E-DCH radio bearer combinations
This procedure is used to test Dual-Cell HS-DSCH and E-DCH radio bearer combinations. The procedure is run once for each sub-test of the actual radio bearer test case.
NOTE: This test procedure is based on the generic test procedure for radio bearer combinations on HS-DSCH and DCH in section 14.1.3.5. As the testing of DTCH mapped to HS-DSCH is considered well covered by the radio bearer test cases for radio bearer combinations on HS-DSCH and DCH then the focus in this test procedure is on the uplink DTCH mapped to E-DCH. The main difference compared to the generic test procedure in 14.1.3.5 is that for DTCH mapped to HS-DSCH only one TFRC test point and one HARQ process alternative is tested. For testing of radio bearer combinations for DC-HSDPA and DC-HSUPA then the test procedure is only specified for the DL 16QAM modulation case as other radio bearer test cases for DC-HSDPA in clause 14.6 provide test coverage of other modulation schemes in downlink.

i) The SS checks that the content of the UE returned RLC SDUs have the correct content and are 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.
j) The SS opens the UE test loop.
l) The SS release the radio bearer. See note 3.
m) Steps a) to l) are repeated for all sub-tests. See note 5.
n) The SS may optionally deactivate the radio bearer test mode.
NOTE 1: The SS configures the physical channel parameters according to the actual UE category under test. The number of soft channel bits per HARQ process is split equally among the number of HARQ processes configured for the actual sub-test – i.e. “Total number of soft channel bits” for the UE category according to table 14.1.3.1.1 divided by the number of HARQ processes under test. The number of reordering queues is 1 for single HS-DSCH radio bearer configurations. The MAC-hs window size, RLC Transmission window size and RLC Receiving window size shall be configured as specified for the actual sub-test.
NOTE 2: The MAC-hs window size and RLC Receiver and transmitter window sizes need to be chosen such that the UE capability for “Minimum total RLC AM and MAC-hs buffer size” is not exceeded for the UE category under test.
NOTE 3: The Secondary scrambling code in the RADIO BEARER RELEASE message is set to the same value used in the RADIO BEARER SETUP MESSAGE.
NOTE 4: 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 5: CS radio bearer is setup once during the first sub-test.

14.1.4.3 Generic test procedure for HS-DSCH and E-DCH radio bearer combinations for enhanced uplink in CELL_FACH
This procedure is used to test Enhanced UL and DL in CELL_FACH radio bearer combinations. The procedure is run once for each sub-test of the actual E-DCH radio bearer test case.
NOTE: This test procedure is based on the generic test procedure for radio bearer combinations on HS-DSCH and DCH in section 14.1.4.1. As the testing of DTCH mapped to HS-DSCH is considered well covered by the radio bearer test cases for radio bearer combinations on HS-DSCH and DCH then the focus in this test procedure is on the uplink DTCH mapped to E-DCH in CELL_FACH. The main difference compared to the generic test procedure in 14.1.4.1 is that for DTCH mapped to HS-DSCH only one TFRC test point and one HARQ process alternative is tested.
Definition of test variables:
|
Ncodes |
The number of HS-DSCH codes (1..15, maximum number dependent on UE category) as specified by the sub-test. |
|
M |
The type of modulation scheme (QPSK, 16QAM) as specified by the sub-test. |
|
NPDUs |
The number of MAC-d PDUs for the DTCH(s) mapped on HS-DSCH as specified by the sub-test. |
|
HID |
The HARQ process identifier (0..7) as specified by the sub-test. |

Test procedure
a) The SS establish the reference radio bearer configuration as specified in TS 34.108, clause 6.10 for the actual radio bearer test. For the case when the reference radio bearer configuration includes radio bearers for both CS and PS domain then the radio bearer setup procedure has to be performed once per domain. The first radio bearer setup procedure shall perform configuration of the physical channel for the radio bearer combination under test as well as the transport channels for the CS radio bearer(s). The second radio bearer procedure shall perform the configuration for the transport channel for the PS radio bearers . The Physical channel configuration shall be done for both CS and PS radio bearers combined. Here the transport format combination set for both CS and PS radio bearers shall be provided. See note 1 and note 3.
b) The SS closes the test loop using UE test loop mode 1 and set 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.
c) The SS sets the HS-DSCH TFRC test point as specified for the sub-test using table 9.2.3.1 in [6] (NPDUs , M, Ncodes and TFRI).
d) The SS sets HID to the number of HARQ processes specified for the sub-test.
e) If HS-DSCH DRX is not configured, the SS transmits, for each DTCH mapped to HS-DSCH, a DL RLC SDUs having the size equal the to the “Test data size” as specified for the sub-test concatenated into a MAC-ehs PDU using the selected TFRC and HID.
If HS-DSCH DRX is configured in SIB5 the SS transmits, for each DTCH mapped to HS-DSCH, DL RLC SDUs having the size equal the to the “Test data size” as specified for the sub-test concatenated into a MAC-ehs PDU using the selected TFRC and HID at SFN value fulfilling the following inequality, refer to 25.331 [8]:
(SFN H-RNTI) mod DRX_cycle < Rx_burst
f) The SS checks that the content of the UE returned RLC SDUs have the correct content. See TS 34.109 [10] clause 5.3.2.6.2 for details regarding the UE loopback of RLC SDUs.
g) The SS opens the UE test loop.
h) The SS release the radio bearer. See note 4.
i) Steps a) to i) are repeated for all sub-tests.
j) The SS may optionally deactivate the radio bearer test mode.
NOTE 1: The SS configures the physical channel parameters according to the actual UE category under test. The number of soft channel bits per HARQ process is split equally among the number of HARQ processes configured for the actual sub-test – i.e. “Total number of soft channel bits” for the UE category according to table 14.1.3.1.1 divided by the number of HARQ processes under test. The number of reordering queues is 1 for single HS-DSCH radio bearer configurations. The MAC-hs window size, RLC Transmission window size and RLC Receiving window size shall be configured as specified for the actual sub-test.
NOTE 2: The MAC-ehs window size and RLC Receiver and transmitter window sizes need to be chosen such that the UE capability for “Minimum total RLC AM and MAC-ehs buffer size” is not exceeded for the UE category under test.
NOTE 3: The Secondary scrambling code in the RADIO BEARER RELEASE message is set to the same value used in the RADIO BEARER SETUP MESSAGE.
