8.2.4.1.1 Definition

8.2.4.1.2 Conformance requirement

If the UE receives:

– a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message; or

it shall:

1> if the UE will enter the CELL_DCH state from any state other than CELL_DCH state at the conclusion of this procedure:

2> perform the physical layer synchronisation procedure A as specified in TS 25.214;

1> act upon all received information elements as specified in TS 25.331 subclause 8.6, unless specified in the following and perform the actions below.

The UE shall then:

1> enter a state according to TS 25.331 subclause 8.6.3.3.

If the UE was in CELL_DCH state upon reception of the reconfiguration message and remains in CELL_DCH state, the UE shall:

1> if the IE "Uplink DPCH Info" is absent, not change its current UL Physical channel configuration;

1> if the IE "Downlink information for each radio link" is absent, not change its current DL Physical channel configuration.

The UE shall transmit a response message as specified in TS 25.331 subclause 8.2.2.4, setting the information elements as specified below. The UE shall:

1> set the IE "RRC transaction identifier" to the value of "RRC transaction identifier" in the entry for the received message in the table "Accepted transactions" in the variable TRANSACTIONS; and

1> transmit a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE as response message on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

Reference

3GPP TS 25.331 clause 8.2.2.3, 8.2.2.4.

8.2.4.1.3 Test purpose

To confirm that the UE reconfigures the channel configuration according to a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message, which is used to change the TFCS and the TFS while replacing the RL(s) in the active set with a set of RL(s) disjoint with the previous active set.

8.2.4.1.4 Method of test

Initial Condition

System Simulator: 2 cells – Cell 1 and cell 2 are active

UE: CS-DCCH+DTCH_DCH (state 6-9) or PS-DCCH+DTCH_DCH (state 6-10) as specified in clause 7.4 of TS 34.108, depending on the CN domain(s) supported by the UE. Either a streaming CS domain RAB (state 6-9) or an interactive/ background PS domain RAB (state 6-10) has been established. UE connected to cell 1.

Test Procedure

The UE is in CELL_DCH state, connected to cell 1. The SS transmits a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message to the UE, which includes new configuration parameters. The message is used to replace the RL(s) in the active set with a set of RL(s) disjoint with the previous active set. In this case, the connection to cell 1 is discontinued while a new connection to cell 2 is established at the same time. The TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message is used to also change the TFCS and TFS e.g. because the currently used rate is not available on cell 2. The TFCS and TFS change from a value corresponding with one reference configuration in 34.108 (an interactive PS domain RAB from UL:64 DL:64 or a streaming CS RAB from UL:57.6 DL:57.6) to another reference configuration (interactive PS domain RAB from UL:32 DL:32 or a streaming CS RAB from UL:28.8 DL:28.8). The UE shall apply the new configuration and then transmit a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC. SS calls for generic procedure C.3 to check that UE is in CELL_DCH state.

NOTE: If the UE fails the test because of a failure to reselect to a right cell, then the operator may re-run the test.

8.2.4.1a.3 Test purpose

To confirm that the UE reconfigures the transport channel configuration according to a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message, which specifies a reconfiguration by changing the TFCS.

To confirm that the UE receives the RLC SDU and sends it according to the new UL TFCS.

8.2.4.1a.4 Method of test

Initial Condition

System Simulator: 1 cell

UE: PS-DCCH+DTCH_DCH_TEST_LOOP (state 6-10a) as specified in clause 7.4 of TS 34.108. The UL RLC_SDU size for the loopback scheme is set to the size correspondent to the maximum uplink TFS as indicated in RADIO BEARER SETUP message during radio bearer establishment procedure. The Contents of the Radio Bearer Setup message is specified in specific message contents.

NOTE: Transmission rate shall be set to the maximum rate for the UE during the radio bearer establishment procedure.

Test Procedure

The UE is in CELL_DCH state.

The SS transmits a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message to the UE to modify the UL transmission rate which includes information about uplink TFCS to restrict the use of the highest rate TFCIs.

The UE shall reconfigure the new configuration and then transmit a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

UL MAC restriction is imposed on the SS so that SS can restrict the use of highest rate TFCI in the uplink

Then the SS transmits a RLC_SDU whose size is the same as the UL RLC_SDU size for the loopback scheme. The UE receives this RLC_SDU and decode it according to the new TFCS.

The RLC_SDU is then looped backed to the SS. The SS should receive the expected data as a RLC_SDU exactly as the one transmitted to the UE.

SS calls for generic procedure C.3 to check that UE is in CELL_DCH state.

Reference

3GPP TS 25.331 clause 8.2.2.7, 8.2.2.9, 8.5.4.

8.2.4.3.3 Test purpose

To confirm that the UE reverts to the old configuration and transmits a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION FAILURE message on the DCCH using AM RLC, if the UE fails to reconfigure the new configuration according to a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message.

8.2.4.3.4 Method of test

Initial Condition

System Simulator: 2 cells. – Cell 1 is active and cell 2 is inactive.

UE: CS-DCCH+DTCH_DCH (state 6-9) or PS-DCCH+DTCH_DCH (state 6-10) as specified in clause 7.4 of TS 34.108, depending on the CN domain(s) supported by the UE.

Test Procedure

Table 8.2.4.3

Parameter	Unit	Cell 1		Cell 2
Parameter	Unit	T0	T1	T0	T1
UTRA RF Channel Number		Mid Range Test Frequency		Mid Range Test Frequency
CPICH Ec (FDD)	dBm/3.84MHz	-60	-60	OFF	-75
P-CCPCH RSCP (TDD)	dBm	-60	-60	OFF	-75

Table 8.2.4.3 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution. SS switches the power settings between columns "T0" and "T1", whenever the description in multi-cell condition specifies a reverse in the transmission power settings for cell 1 and cell 2.

The UE is in CELL_DCH state in cell 1. SS then send a MEASUREMENT CONTROL message to UE. The UE shall perform periodical traffic volume measurement according to this message and then transmit MEASUREMENT REPORT message back to SS. Then the SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to column "T1" in table 8.2.4.3. The SS transmits a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message to the UE to restrict transmission on the uplink DCH used by the signalling radio bearer RB2. The message specifies a new configuration in cell 2 but the SS does not configure the new physical channel in cell 2 specified in this message and keep its old configuration in cell 1. Therefore, the UE cannot synchronise with the SS on the new physical channel in cell 2 and shall revert to the old configuration in cell 1 after T312 expires. Then the UE shall transmit a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION FAILURE message on the DCCH using AM RLC, setting "physical channel failure" in IE "failure cause". UE shall continue its traffic volume measurement and send MEASUREMENT REPORT messages back to SS periodically.

System Simulator: 2 cells. – Cell 1 is active and cell 2 is inactive.

SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 1 (see specific message contents).

UE: CS-DCCH+DTCH_DCH (state 6-9) or PS-DCCH+DTCH_DCH (state 6-10) as specified in clause 7.4 of TS 34.108, depending on the CN domain(s) supported by the UE.

Test Procedure

Table 8.2.4.4

Parameter	Unit	Cell 1		Cell 2
Parameter	Unit	T0	T1	T0	T1
UTRA RF Channel Number		Mid Range Test Frequency		Mid Range Test Frequency
CPICH Ec (FDD)	dBm/3.84MHz	-60	-60	OFF	-75
P-CCPCH RSCP (TDD)	dBm	-60	-60	OFF	-75

Table 8.2.4.4 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution. SS switches the power settings between columns "T0" and "T1", whenever the description in multi-cell condition specifies a reverse in the transmission power settings for cell 1 and cell 2.

The UE is in CELL_DCH state in cell 1. Then the SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.2.4.4. The SS transmits a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message to the UE. The message specifies a new configuration in cell 2 but the SS does not reconfigure the new channel in cell 2 specified in this message and release the old configuration in cell 1. The UE cannot synchronise with SS before T312 expires and shall attempt to revert to the old configuration in cell 1. The UE cannot revert to the old configuration and then transmit a CELL UPDATE message on uplink CCCH with IE "Cell update cause" set to "radio link failure" in cell 1. The SS shall transmit a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message on downlink DCCH after receiving CELL UPDATE message. The UE transmits a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC and subsequently transmits a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION FAILURE message on the DCCH using AM RLC, setting IE "failure cause" to "physical channel failure".

NOTE: If the UE fails the test because of a failure to reselect to a right cell, then the operator may re-run the test.

8.2.4.36.4 Method of test

Initial Condition

System Simulator: 1 cell

UE: PS-DCCH_DCH (state 6-7) as specified in clause 7.4 of TS 34.108.

Related ICS/IXIT statement(s)

– UE supports FDD or TDD

– UE supports HS-PDSCH

Test Procedure

The UE is in CELL_DCH state and only signalling radio bearers have been established. SS initiates P25 to make the UE move to state 6-17 as specified in TS 34.108 clause 7.4. The UE is in CELL_DCH state and has a radio bearer mapped on HS-DSCH established using a 384 kbps (FDD, 3.84Mcps TDD and 7.68 Mcps TDD) or 64 kbps (1.28Mcps TDD) uplink DCH.

The SS transmits a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message to the UE to limit the uplink transmission rate. This message includes a new UL DCH TFCS for uplink 64kbps (FDD, 3.84Mcps TDD and 7.68 Mcps) or 32 kbps (1.28Mcps TDD) transmission rate, but the TTI remains unchanged. After the UE receives this message, it reconfigures the transport and physical channel and transmits a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message using AM RLC. Upon successfully received the complete message from the UE, SS transmits another TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message to limit the uplink transmission rate to 32kbps (FDD, 3.84Mcps TDD and 7.68 Mcps TDD) or 16 kbps (1.28Mcps TDD). After the UE receives this message, it reconfigures the transport and physical channel and transmits a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message using AM RLC.

Next the SS transmits a new TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message to the UE which includes an old UL DCH TFCS for uplink 64kbps (FDD, 3.84Mcps TDD and 7.68 Mcps TDD) or 32 kbps (1.28Mcps TDD) transmission rate in order to remove the limitation for uplink 32kbps (FDD, 3.84Mcps TDD and 7.68 Mcps TDD) or 16 kbps (1.28Mcps TDD) transmission rate and keeps the transmission time interval. Upon received this message, the UE reconfigures the transport and physical channel and transmits a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message using AM RLC. The SS then transmits one more TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message to remove the limitation for uplink 64kbps (FDD, 3.84Mcps TDD and 7.68 Mcps TDD) or 32 kbps (1.28Mcps TDD) transmission rate and assign a new uplink 384kbps (FDD, 3.84Mcps TDD and 7.68 Mcps) or 64 kbps (1.28Mcps TDD) transmission rate. After the UE receives this message, it reconfigures the transport and physical channel and transmits a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message using AM RLC.

SS calls for generic procedure C.3 to check that UE is in CELL_DCH state.

Test Procedure

The UE is in CELL_DCH state and only signalling radio bearers have been established. SS initiates P25 to make the UE move to state 6-17 as specified in TS 34.108 clause 7.4. The UE is in CELL_DCH state and has a radio bearer mapped on HS-DSCH established using a 384 kbps (3.84Mcps TDD and 7.68 Mcps TDD) or 64 kbps (1.28Mcps TDD) uplink DCH.

The SS transmits a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message to the UE to limit the uplink transmission rate. This message includes a new UL DCH TFCS for uplink 64kbps (3.84Mcps TDD and 7.68 Mcps) or 32 kbps (1.28Mcps TDD) transmission rate, but the TTI remains unchanged. After the UE receives this message, it reconfigures the transport and physical channel and transmits a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message using AM RLC. Upon successfully received the complete message from the UE, SS transmits another TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message to limit the uplink transmission rate to 32kbps (3.84Mcps TDD and 7.68 Mcps TDD) or 16 kbps (1.28Mcps TDD). After the UE receives this message, it reconfigures the transport and physical channel and transmits a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message using AM RLC.

Next the SS transmits a new TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message to the UE which includes an old UL DCH TFCS for uplink 64kbps (3.84Mcps TDD and 7.68 Mcps TDD) or 32 kbps (1.28Mcps TDD) transmission rate in order to remove the limitation for uplink 32kbps (3.84Mcps TDD and 7.68 Mcps TDD) or 16 kbps (1.28Mcps TDD) transmission rate and keeps the transmission time interval. Upon received this message, the UE reconfigures the transport and physical channel and transmits a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message using AM RLC. The SS then transmits one more TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message to remove the limitation for uplink 64kbps (3.84Mcps TDD and 7.68 Mcps TDD) or 32 kbps (1.28Mcps TDD) transmission rate and assign a new uplink 384kbps (3.84Mcps TDD and 7.68 Mcps) or 64 kbps (1.28Mcps TDD) transmission rate. After the UE receives this message, it reconfigures the transport and physical channel and transmits a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message using AM RLC.

SS calls for generic procedure C.3 to check that UE is in CELL_DCH state.

Same conformance requirement as in clause 8.2.4.36a.

8.2.4.36c.3 Test purpose

Same conformance requirement as in clause 8.2.4.36a except that UE can receive TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message on in a different frequency band cell.

8.2.4.36c.4 Method of test

Same conformance requirement as in clause 8.2.4.36 except for the following:

Initial Condition

System Simulator: 2 cells–Cell 1 is active and cell 6 is inactive. cell 1 and cell 6 belong to different frequency bands. Cell 1 is active and configure three carriers,one primary carrier with two secondary carriers.

Test Procedure

Table 8.2.4.36c.4

Parameter	Unit	Cell 1		Cell 6
		T0	T1	T0	T1
UTRA RF Channel Number		Mid Range Test Frequency		Mid Range Test Frequency
P-CCPCH RSCP (TDD)	dBm	-55	-72	Off	-55

Table 8.2.4.36c.4 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution. SS switches the power settings from columns "T0" to "T1", whenever the description in multi-cell condition specifies the transmission power settings for cell 1 and cell 6.

SS has configured its downlink transmission power setting according to columns "T0" in table 8.2.4.36c.4. The UE is in CELL_DCH state and only signalling radio bearers have been established. SS initiates P25 to make the UE move to state 6-17 as specified in TS 34.108 clause 7.4. The UE is in CELL_DCH state and has a radio bearer mapped on HS-DSCH established using a 64 kbps (1.28Mcps TDD) uplink DCH.

The SS transmits a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message to the UE to limit the uplink transmission rate. This message includes a new UL DCH TFCS for uplink 32 kbps (1.28Mcps TDD) transmission rate, but the TTI remains unchanged. After the UE receives this message, it reconfigures the transport and physical channel and transmits a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message using AM RLC. Upon successfully received the complete message from the UE, SS transmits another TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message to limit the uplink transmission rate to 16 kbps (1.28Mcps TDD). After the UE receives this message, it reconfigures the transport and physical channel and transmits a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message using AM RLC.

Next the SS transmits a new TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message to the UE which includes an old UL DCH TFCS for uplink 32 kbps (1.28Mcps TDD) transmission rate in order to remove the limitation for uplink 16 kbps (1.28Mcps TDD) transmission rate and keeps the transmission time interval. Upon received this message, the UE reconfigures the transport and physical channel and transmits a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message using AM RLC. The SS then transmits one more TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message to remove the limitation for uplink 32 kbps (1.28Mcps TDD) transmission rate and assign a new uplink 64 kbps (1.28Mcps TDD) transmission rate. After the UE receives this message, it reconfigures the transport and physical channel and transmits a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message using AM RLC.

If UE support a+f frequency band, the The SS switches its downlink transmission power settings to columns "T1". The SS transmits a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message ncluding IE "Frequency info" set to frequency information of cell 6 and IE "Primary CCPCH info" of cell 6 parameters to the UE to limit the uplink transmission rate. This message includes a new UL DCH TFCS for uplink 32 kbps (1.28Mcps TDD) transmission rate, but the TTI remains unchanged. After the UE receives this message, it reconfigures the transport and physical channel and transmits a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message using AM RLC on cell 6.

SS calls for generic procedure C.3 to check that UE is in CELL_DCH state.
