14.6.8.1 Conformance requirement

See 14.6.1.1.

14.6.8.2 Test purpose

To verify radio bearer establishment and correct data transfer for reference radio bearer configuration as specified in TS 34.108, clause 6.10.2.4.5.8.

14.6.8.3 Method of test

NOTE: The reference to UE Categories refers to the UE capability as signalled in the Rel-5 IE “HS-DSCH physical layer category” (1 to 12). All UEs supporting HS-DSCH should signal a category between 1 and 12 for this IE even if the UE physical capability category is above 12. This IE corresponds to the HS-DSCH category supported by the UE when MAC-ehs is not configured.

The generic test procedure in 14.1.3.6 is run for each sub-test.

Sub-tests:

The principle used to select sub-tests has been to cover all uplink and downlink TFS for the Speech and Interactive Background radio bearer. As the Interactive Background UL:384 kbps radio bearer (RB8) has the highest number of transport formats (5 for TTI=10 ms and excluding TF0) then 5 sub-tests has been defined. The selected UL TFCI to achieve test coverage of TF1 to TF5 for RB8 and for the different speech transport formats are: UL_TFC11 for TF1, UL_TFC22 for TF2, UL_TFC33 for TF3, UL_TFC44 for TF4 and UL_TFC54 for TF5.

NOTE 1: The SS shall configure the RLC transmission and receiver window size depending on the UE category. The values are set to cope with the number of SDUs used in the sub-test and within the UE capabilities for the actual UE category under test.

NOTE 2: Void.

NOTE 3: See TS 34.109 [10] clause 5.3.2.6.2 for details regarding loopback of RLC SDUs.
RB8: The UL RLC SDU size is set to N*UL RLC payload size minus 8 bits (size of 7 bit length indicator and expansion bit) , where N is the number of transport blocks for the UL transport format under test. This will make the UE to return one RLC SDU per UL TTI.

NOTE 4: The test data size for RB8 is dependent on the actual TFRC test point, see the generic test procedure in 14.1.3.6.

NOTE 5: TFC subset identity shall be signalled by the SS on the downlink SRB#5, see generic test procedure in clause 14.1.3.6.

14.6.8.4 Test requirements

See 14.1.3.6 for definition of the referenced step numbers.

1. At step B12b the UE shall send RADIO BEARER SETUP COMPLETE.

2. At steps 17 to 20 the UE transmitted transport format shall be within the set of restricted TFCIs as specified for the actual sub-test.

3. At step 18 and for RB5 and RB6 the UE shall return an RLC SDU having the same content as sent by SS. No data shall be received on RB7.

4. At step 18 and for each TFRC test point:

If the downlink RLC SDU size is less than the configured UL RLC SDU for the actual sub-test then the UE shall return 4 RLC SDUs where the first bits of each SDU has the same content as the RLC SDUs sent by the SS in downlink. Otherwise the UE shall return 4 RLC SDUs where each SDU has the same content as the first bits of the RLC SDUs sent by the SS in downlink.

NOTE: The generic test procedure as specified in 14.1.3.5.2 sends 4 SDUs of size (NPDUs * MAC-d PDU payload size) / 4 minus 8 bits (size of 7 bit length indicator and expansion bit). For the case when the downlink SDU size is less than the configured UL SDU size then all data is returned otherwise the returned data is truncated.
