7.1.1.1.5 Test Requirement

On the first iteration, and on each iteration in step e) the UE should not recognise the RRC CONNECTION SETUP message and therefore should either retransmit the RRC CONNECTION REQUEST after each expiry of T300 (the UE should send up to N300=3 RRC CONNECTION REQUESTs before abandoning the procedure) or not respond (if N300 RRC CONNECTION REQUESTs have already been sent).

On the final iteration the UE should respond with an RRC CONNECTION SETUP COMPLETE message.

The SS follows the procedure in TS 34.108 clause 7.4.2.1 (Mobile Terminated for CS) so that the UE shall be in state BGP 6-1 (CS-CELL_DCH_INITIAL) or clause 7.4.2.2 (Mobile Terminated for PS) so that the UE shall be in state BGP 6-3 (PS-CELL_DCH_INITIAL). During this procedure the RRC CONNECTION SETUP message shall allocate a DCH to carry the signalling radio bearers as follows:

1. The DCH/DPCH is configured as specified in TS 34.108 clause 6.10.2.4.1.2 (FDD), 6.11.5.4.1.2(1.28Mcps TDD): Stand-alone UL:3.4 DL:3.4 kbps SRBs for DCCH).

Test procedure

a) The SS receives the PAGING RESPONSE or SERVICE REQUEST (depending on domain) message from the UE and checks the C/T field.

b) The SS transmits MAC PDUs containing RLC AM PDUs containing a DIRECT TRANSFER message containing

1. Dummy octet string for NAS Message, of size sufficient enough to fit in one RLC PDU of 144 bits, including the correct RLC AM header.

2. The IE CN Domain Identity is Set to PS Domain (no signalling connection for this Domain exists).

3. The polling bit in RLC header is set for transmission of RLC STATUS PDU.

The MAC header shall be set as follows:

Field

Value

C/T

‘0111’B

c) The SS checks that UE shall neither transmit RRC Status message on SRB2 nor RLC Status PDU on SRB3.

d) The SS again transmits MAC PDUs as in b) above, but this time uses the correct C/T value for AM-DCCH NAS High Priority of 0010’B. The sequence numbers in the RLC headers shall be identical with those sent in b).

e) SS Receives RLC Status PDU on SRB #3 acknowledging the receipt of the above RLC PDU.

f) The SS receives a RRC STATUS message on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC on SRB # 2.

g) The SS repeats steps b), c), d), e) and f), with the C/T field set as follows in step b):

7.1.1.8.5 Test Requirement

In step a) the C/T field should be set to the Logical Channel ID for SRB #3 (0010’B). Note that this may be implied from receipt of the PAGING RESPONSE or SERVICE REQUEST message correctly by the SS test script.

During the test the SS shall request RLC status reports with every transmitted PDU by setting of the Polling Bit. The UE shall not send any STATUS PDUs indicating missing PDUs.

At the end of each iteration (steps 4 and 5 of expected sequence) the SS shall receive a RLC Status PDU on SRB # 3 with C/T field set to ‘0010’B and RRC Status message on SRB # 2.

– The UE is in MBSFN Idle mode with one activated service as specified in clause 7.6.4 of TS 34.108. The UE has selected (i.e. it is included in MBMS_ACTIVATED_SERVICES variable) a national service for which there will be a session starting on MBSFN Cell 31 (see TS 34.108 clause 11.2.4).

Related ICS/IXIT statements

– MBMS Broadcast services in MBSFN mode available on UE Yes/No.

– Support of TDD transmit and receive functions available on UE Yes/No.

– Support of TDD MBSFN receive only function available on UE Yes/No.

Test procedure

a) The UE is camping on Cell 1 and Cell 31. In addition to broadcasting System Information, MCCH messages are transmitted by the SS on Cell 31 using MBMS configuration C1 (no session ongoing) and Default1 MCCH scheduling according to clause 11.2 of TS 34.108.

b) The SS sends ACTIVATE RB TEST MODE on the unicast carrier and the UE responds with ACTIVATE RB TEST MODE COMPLETE.

c) The SS sends CLOSE UE TEST LOOP to activate RLC SDU counting on Cell 31 MTCH (Transmission identity indicating the MBMS activated service).

d) The SS notifies on MCCH about the start of an MBMS session for one modification period. MCCH messages are transmitted by the SS on Cell 31 using MBMS configuration C4 (one PTM session starting) and Default1 MCCH scheduling according to clause 11.2 of TS 34.108.

e) MCCH messages are then transmitted by the SS on Cell 31 using MBMS configuration C2 (one PTM session ongoing) and Default1 MCCH scheduling according to clause 11.2 of TS 34.108.

f) The SS waits for the UE to start reception of the MBMS data on MTCH according to the specified service activation time. The UE closes the test loop. The UE sends CLOSE UE TEST LOOP COMPLETE.

g) The SS transmits MAC PDUs containing RLC UM PDUs containing an octet string representing dummy traffic data, of size sufficient enough to fit in one RLC PDU of 338 bits, including the correct RLC UM header.

The MAC header shall be set as follows:

Field

Value

TCTF

101’B

MBMS-Id

0000’B

h) The SS sends UE TEST LOOP MODE 3 RLC SDU COUNTER REQUEST. The SS waits for the UE to respond with UE TEST LOOP MODE 3 RLC SDU COUNTER RESPONSE. The SS shall check that the counter returned by the UE for the MTCH of the activated service in the UE TEST LOOP MODE 3 RLC SDU COUNTER RESPONSE corresponds to zero received RLC SDUs. The SS records the value.

i) The SS again transmits MAC PDUs as in b) above, but this time uses the correct TCTF of 01110’B. Where a TCTF size of 5-bits is used, 2-bits from the RLC payload (specified above as 338 bits) shall be discarded. The sequence numbers in the RLC headers shall be identical with those sent in b).

j) The SS sends UE TEST LOOP MODE 3 RLC SDU COUNTER REQUEST. The SS waits for the UE to respond with UE TEST LOOP MODE 3 RLC SDU COUNTER RESPONSE. The SS shall check that the counter returned by the UE for the MTCH of the activated service in the UE TEST LOOP MODE 3 RLC SDU COUNTER RESPONSE is > 0. The SS records the value.

k) The SS repeats steps g), h), i) and j), with the TCTF field set as follows in step g):

NOTE 1: For a UE in UE test loop mode 3 the RLC SDU counter value is only reset upon reception of the CLOSE UE TEST LOOP message configuring UE test loop mode 3. To enable the SS to measure the number of received RLC SDUs for the different sub-tests the SS needs to record the reported values for each sub-test and perform the checking of the reported value relative to the previously reported value.

a) The UE is camping on Cell 1 and Cell 31. In addition to broadcasting System Information, MCCH messages are transmitted by the SS on Cell 31 using MBMS configuration C1 (no session ongoing) and Default1 MCCH scheduling according to clause 11.2 of TS 34.108 [9].

b) The SS sends ACTIVATE RB TEST MODE on the unicast carrier and the UE responds with ACTIVATE RB TEST MODE COMPLETE.

c) The SS sends CLOSE UE TEST LOOP to activate RLC SDU counting on Cell 31 MTCH (Transmission identity indicating the MBMS activated service).

d) The SS notifies on MCCH about the start of an MBMS session for one modification period. MCCH messages are transmitted by the SS on Cell 31 using MBMS configuration C4 (one PTM session starting) and Default1 MCCH scheduling according to clause 11.2 of TS 34.108 [9].

e) MCCH messages are then transmitted by the SS on Cell 31 using MBMS configuration C2 (one PTM session ongoing) and Default1 MCCH scheduling according to clause 11.2 of TS 34.108 [9].

f) The SS waits for the UE to start reception of the MBMS data on MTCH according to the specified service activation time. The UE closes the test loop. The UE sends CLOSE UE TEST LOOP COMPLETE.

g) The SS transmits MAC PDUs containing RLC UM PDUs containing an octet string representing dummy traffic data, of size sufficient enough to fit in one RLC PDU of 332 bits, including the correct RLC UM header.

The MAC header shall be set as follows:

Field

Value

TCTF

01000001’B

MBMS-Id

0000’B

h) The SS sends UE TEST LOOP MODE 3 RLC SDU COUNTER REQUEST. The SS waits for the UE to respond with UE TEST LOOP MODE 3 RLC SDU COUNTER RESPONSE. The SS shall check that the counter returned by the UE for the MTCH of the activated service in the UE TEST LOOP MODE 3 RLC SDU COUNTER RESPONSE corresponds to zero received RLC SDUs. The SS records the value.

i) The SS again transmits MAC PDUs as in g) above, but this time uses the correct TCTF of 0110’B. Where a TCTF size of 4-bits is used, 4-bits to the RLC payload (specified above as 332 bits) shall be added. The sequence numbers in the RLC headers shall be identical with those sent in g).

j) The SS sends UE TEST LOOP MODE 3 RLC SDU COUNTER REQUEST. The SS waits for the UE to respond with UE TEST LOOP MODE 3 RLC SDU COUNTER RESPONSE. The SS shall check that the counter returned by the UE for the MTCH of the activated service in the UE TEST LOOP MODE 3 RLC SDU COUNTER RESPONSE is > 0. The SS records the value.

k) The SS repeats steps g), h), i) and j), with the TCTF field set as follows in step g):

NOTE 1: For a UE in UE test loop mode 3 the RLC SDU counter value is only reset upon reception of the CLOSE UE TEST LOOP message configuring UE test loop mode 3. To enable the SS to measure the number of received RLC SDUs for the different sub-tests the SS needs to record the reported values for each sub-test and perform the checking of the reported value relative to the previously reported value.

7.1.1.10.3 Test purpose

1. To verify that the UE discards PDUs with reserved or incorrect values in the MBMS-Id field.

2. To verify that the MBMS-Id field is correctly applied when a MTCH is mapped to the FACH.

7.1.1.10.4 Method of test

Initial conditions

System Simulator:

Unicast carrier: 1 cell, Cell 1 with default configuration.

– MBSFN carriers: 1 cell, Cell 31 has default parameters. In addition to broadcasting System Information, MCCH messages are transmitted by the SS on Cell 31 using MBMS configuration C1 and Default1 MCCH scheduling (No ongoing session) according to subclause 11.2 of TS 34.108.

The configuration of the S-CCPCH which will carry the MTCH is based upon that specified in TS 34.108 clause 6.11.1c (3.84 Mcps TDD) and 6.11.1d (7.68 Mcps TDD) 8kbps RB for MBSFN MTCH with the following exceptions for the FACH:

2) At step 14 on each iteration, the UE TEST LOOP MODE 3 RLC SDU COUNTER RESPONSE message shall report a number that corresponds to > 0 received RLC SDUs for Cell 31 MTCH.

7.1.1.10a MTCH mapped to FACH / Invalid MBMS-Id (3.84 Mcps TDD IMB)

7.1.1.10a.1 Definition

This tests that the MAC applies the correct header to the MAC PDU according to the type of logical channel carried on the FACH transport channel. Incorrect application of MAC headers would result in inoperation of the UE.

7.1.1.10a.2 Conformance requirement

MTCH mapped to FACH:

The TCTF field and MBMS-Id field are included in the MAC header for MTCH

7.1.1.10a.3 Test purpose

1. To verify that the UE discards PDUs with reserved or incorrect values in the MBMS-Id field.

2. To verify that the MBMS-Id field is correctly applied when a MTCH is mapped to the FACH.

7.1.1.10a.4 Method of test

Initial conditions

System Simulator:

Unicast carrier: 1 cell, Cell 1 with default configuration.

– MBSFN carriers: 1 cell, Cell 31 has default parameters. In addition to broadcasting System Information, MCCH messages are transmitted by the SS on Cell 31 using MBMS configuration C1 and Default1 MCCH scheduling (No ongoing session) according to subclause 11.2 of TS 34.108 [9].

The configuration of the S-CCPCH which will carry the MTCH is based upon that specified in TS 34.108 [9], clause 6.11.1e (3.84 Mcps TDD IMB) 8kbps RB for MBSFN MTCH with the following exceptions for the FACH:

NOTE: The SS MAC layer must be configured not to add a MAC header so that the header can be added by the test case in order to create the necessary invalid values.

User Equipment:

– On the unicast carrier cell the UE is in registered Idle Mode on PS (state 3) if the UE only supports PS domain or registered Idle Mode on CS/PS (state 7) if the UE supports both CS and PS domains, as specified in clause 7.2.2 of TS 34.108 [9].

– The UE is in MBSFN Idle mode with one activated service as specified in clause 7.6.4 of TS 34.108 [9]. The UE has selected (i.e. it is included in MBMS_ACTIVATED_SERVICES variable) a national service for which there will be a session starting on MBSFN Cell 31 (see TS 34.108 [9], clause 11.2.4).

Related ICS/IXIT statements

– MBMS Broadcast services in MBSFN mode available on UE Yes/No.

– Support of TDD or FDD transmit and receive functions available on UE Yes/No.

– Support of 3.84 Mcps TDD IMB receive only function available on UE Yes/No.

Test procedure

a) The UE is camping on Cell 1 and Cell 31. In addition to broadcasting System Information, MCCH messages are transmitted by the SS on Cell 31 using MBMS configuration C1 (no session ongoing) and Default1 MCCH scheduling according to clause 11.2 of TS 34.108 [9].

b) The SS sends ACTIVATE RB TEST MODE on the unicast carrier and the UE responds with ACTIVATE RB TEST MODE COMPLETE.

c) The SS sends CLOSE UE TEST LOOP to activate RLC SDU counting on Cell 31 MTCH (Transmission identity indicating the MBMS activated service).

d) The SS notifies on MCCH about the start of an MBMS session for one modification period. MCCH messages are transmitted by the SS on Cell 31 using MBMS configuration C4 (one PTM session starting) and Default1 MCCH scheduling according to clause 11.2 of TS 34.108 [9].

e) MCCH messages are then transmitted by the SS on Cell 31 using MBMS configuration C2 (one PTM session ongoing) and Default1 MCCH scheduling according to clause 11.2 of TS 34.108 [9].

f) The SS waits for the UE to start reception of the MBMS data on MTCH according to the specified service activation time. The UE closes the test loop. The UE sends CLOSE UE TEST LOOP COMPLETE.

g) The SS transmits MAC PDUs containing RLC UM PDUs containing an octet string representing dummy traffic data, of size sufficient enough to fit in one RLC PDU of 336 bits, including the correct RLC UM header.

The MAC header shall be set as follows:

Field

Value

TCTF

0110’B

MBMS-Id

1111’B

h) The SS sends UE TEST LOOP MODE 3 RLC SDU COUNTER REQUEST. The SS waits for the UE to respond with UE TEST LOOP MODE 3 RLC SDU COUNTER RESPONSE. The SS shall check that the counter returned by the UE for the MTCH of the activated service in the UE TEST LOOP MODE 3 RLC SDU COUNTER RESPONSE corresponds to zero received RLC SDUs. The SS records the value.

i) The SS again transmits MAC PDUs as in g) above, but this time uses a valid MBMS-Id of 1110’B. The sequence numbers in the RLC headers shall be identical with those sent in g).

j) The SS sends UE TEST LOOP MODE 3 RLC SDU COUNTER REQUEST. The SS waits for the UE to respond with UE TEST LOOP MODE 3 RLC SDU COUNTER RESPONSE. The SS shall check that the counter returned by the UE for the MTCH of the activated service in the UE TEST LOOP MODE 3 RLC SDU COUNTER RESPONSE corresponds to > 0 received RLC SDUs
