Table 8.3.1.1 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution. Columns marked "T0" denote the initial conditions. SS switches the power settings repeatedly between columns "T1" and "T0", whenever the description below specifies that the transmission power settings for cell 1 and cell 2 be reversed.

The UE is in the CELL_FACH state, camping onto cell 1. SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.1.1. The UE shall find cell 2 to be more suitable for service and hence perform a cell reselection. After the completion of cell reselection, the UE shall transmits a CELL UPDATE message to the SS on the uplink CCCH of cell 2 and set IE "Cell update cause" to "Cell Reselection". After the SS receives this message, it transmits a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message, which includes the IE "RRC State Indicator" set to "CELL_FACH", to the UE on the downlink DCCH. UE shall verify that IE "New C-RNTI" is not included in the downlink message and shall send a CELL UPDATE message to SS again. SS shall then send a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message which includes a valid IE "New C-RNTI". SS verifies that the UE send UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message.. UE shall stay in CELL_FACH state. SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T0" in table 8.3.1.1. The UE shall send a CELL UPDATE message on the uplink CCCH of cell 1. SS replies with CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message and allocates new C-RNTI and U-RNTI identities to the UE. The IE "RRC State Indicator" is set to "CELL_FACH" in this message. The UE shall transmit UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message. Following this, SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.1.1. The UE shall initiate a cell update procedure by transmitting a CELL UPDATE message and stating the cause as ‘cell re-selection’. SS replies with a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message which contains IE "Physical channel information elements" and IE "RRC State Indicator" is set to "CELL_DCH". The UE shall move to CELL_DCH state and send PHSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message. The SS shall transmit PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message, asking the UE to move to CELL_FACH state. The UE shall send a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message after transiting to CELL_FACH state. Then, SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T0" in table 8.3.1.1. The UE shall send a CELL UPDATE message on the uplink CCCH of cell 1. SS replies with a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message which contains IE "Transport channel information elements" and IE "RRC State Indicator" is set to "CELL_DCH". The UE shall move to CELL_DCH state and send TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message. The SS shall transmit PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message, asking the UE to move to CELL_FACH state. The UE shall send a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message after transiting to CELL_FACH state. Following this, SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.1.1. The UE shall send a CELL UPDATE message on the uplink CCCH of cell 2. SS replies with a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message which contains IE "RB information to be affected list". The UE shall send RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message. Then, SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T0" in table 8.3.1.1. The UE shall send a CELL UPDATE message on the uplink CCCH of cell 1. SS replies with a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message which contains IE "RB information to release list". The UE shall send RADIO BEARER RELEASE COMPLETE message. Finally, SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.1.1. The UE shall send a CELL UPDATE message on the uplink CCCH of cell 2. SS shall not respond to this message but SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T0" in table 8.3.1.1. UE shall send a CELL UPDATE message on the uplink CCCH of cell 1. SS shall then send CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message to UE. UE shall reply with UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message. SS calls for generic procedure C.2 to check that UE is in CELL_FACH 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.

Table 8.3.1.1b illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution. Columns marked "T0" denote the initial conditions. SS switches the power settings repeatedly between columns "T1" and "T0", whenever the description below specifies that the transmission power settings for cell 1 and cell 2 be reversed.

The UE is in the CELL_FACH state, camping onto cell 1. SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.1.1b. The UE shall find cell 2 to be more suitable for service and hence perform a cell reselection. After the completion of cell reselection, the UE shall transmits a CELL UPDATE message to the SS on the uplink CCCH of cell 2 and set IE "Cell update cause" to "Cell Reselection". After the SS receives this message, it transmits a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message, which includes the IE "RRC State Indicator" set to "CELL_FACH", to the UE on the downlink DCCH. UE shall verify that IE "New C-RNTI" is not included in the downlink message and shall send a CELL UPDATE message to SS again. SS shall then send a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message which includes a valid IE "New C-RNTI". SS verifies that the UE send UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message.. UE shall stay in CELL_FACH state. SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T0" in table 8.3.1.1b. The UE shall send a CELL UPDATE message on the uplink CCCH of cell 1. SS replies with CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message and allocates new C-RNTI and U-RNTI identities to the UE. The IE "RRC State Indicator" is set to "CELL_FACH" in this message. The UE shall transmit UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message. Following this, SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.1.1b. The UE shall initiate a cell update procedure by transmitting a CELL UPDATE message and stating the cause as ‘cell re-selection’. SS replies with a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message which contains IE "Physical channel information elements" and IE "RRC State Indicator" is set to "CELL_DCH". The UE shall move to CELL_DCH state and send PHSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message. The SS shall transmit PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message, asking the UE to move to CELL_FACH state. The UE shall send a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message after transiting to CELL_FACH state. Then, SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T0" in table 8.3.1.1b. The UE shall send a CELL UPDATE message on the uplink CCCH of cell 1. SS replies with a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message which contains IE "Transport channel information elements" and IE "RRC State Indicator" is set to "CELL_DCH". The UE shall move to CELL_DCH state and send TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message. The SS shall transmit PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message, asking the UE to move to CELL_FACH state. The UE shall send a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message after transiting to CELL_FACH state. Following this, SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.1.1b. The UE shall send a CELL UPDATE message on the uplink CCCH of cell 2. SS replies with a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message which contains IE "RB information to be affected list". The UE shall send RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message. Then, SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T0" in table 8.3.1.1b. The UE shall send a CELL UPDATE message on the uplink CCCH of cell 1. SS replies with a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message which contains IE "RB information to release list". The UE shall send RADIO BEARER RELEASE COMPLETE message. Finally, SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.1.1b. The UE shall send a CELL UPDATE message on the uplink CCCH of cell 2. SS shall not respond to this message but SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T0" in table 8.3.1.1b. UE shall send a CELL UPDATE message on the uplink CCCH of cell 1. SS shall then send CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message to UE. UE shall reply with UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message. SS calls for generic procedure C.2 to check that UE is in CELL_FACH 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.

8.3.1.1d Inter-frequency absolute priority based reselection in CELL_FACH (Lower Priority)

8.3.1.1d.1 Definition

This test case verifies reselection to the cells on different frequency bands and requires UE to support Priority Based Reselection in CELL_FACH.

8.3.1.1d.2 Conformance requirement

If the UE has received absolute priority information for inter-frequency layers, the UE shall follow these rules:

– For inter-frequency layers with a priority equal or lower than the priority of the current serving layer:

– If SrxlevServingCell > Sprioritysearch1 and SqualServingCell > Sprioritysearch2 the UE may choose not to perform measurements of inter-frequency layers of equal or lower priority.

– If SrxlevServingCell <= Sprioritysearch1 or SqualServingCell <= Sprioritysearch2 the UE shall perform measurements of inter-frequency layers of equal or lower priority.

– The UE may choose not to perform measurements of inter-frequency layers for which the UE has no absolute priority.

Absolute priorities of different absolute priority layers may be provided to the UE. The following cell reselection criteria are used for inter-frequency cells if absolute priority information for inter-frequency is available to the UE, and inter-RAT cells if absolute priority information for inter-RAT is available to the UE.

The following definitions apply for the layers for which Threshx,high2 or Threshx,low2 are not provided:

– Criterion 1: the SrxlevnonServingCell,x of a cell on an evaluated higher absolute priority layer is greater than Threshx,high during a time interval Treselection;

– Criterion 2: (SrxlevServingCell < Threshserving,low or SqualServingCell < = Threshserving,low2) and the SrxlevnonServingCell,x of a inter-frequency cell on an evaluated equal absolute priority layer is greater than Threshx,low during a time interval Treselection;

– Criterion 3: (SrxlevServingCell < Threshserving,low or SqualServingCell <= Threshserving,low2) and the SrxlevnonServingCell,x of a cell on an evaluated lower absolute priority layer is greater than Threshx,low during a time interval Treselection;

Cell reselection to a cell on a higher absolute priority layer than the camped frequency shall be performed if criterion 1 or 4 is fulfilled.

Cell reselection to a cell on a lower absolute priority layer than the camped frequency shall be performed if criterion 3 or 5 is fulfilled.

If more than one cell meets the above criteria, the UE shall reselect the cell with the highest SrxlevnonServingCell,x among the cells meeting the criteria on the highest absolute priority layer.

The UE shall not perform cell reselection to cells for which the cell selection criterion S is not fulfilled.

The UE shall not perform cell reselection until more than 1 second has elapsed since the UE camped on the current serving cell.

The UE should not perform cell reselection while the UE has an allocated common E-DCH resource.

For UE in RRC connected mode states CELL_PCH or URA_PCH the interval Treselections,PCH applies, if provided in SIB4 (see [4]), while for UE in RRC connected mode state CELL_FACH the interval Treselections,FACH applies, if provided in SIB4 (see [4]).

In all the above criteria the values of Treselections, Treselections,PCH or Treselections,FACH apply for Treselection and are scaled according to the UE mobility state, as specified in 5.2.6.1.1a.

If the cell is not operating in MBSFN mode according to subclause 8.1.1.6.3 the UE should store all relevant IEs included in this system information block. If the cell is not operating in MBSFN mode according to subclause 8.1.1.6.3 the UE shall:

1> if the value of the IE "Priority status" in the variable PRIORITY_INFO_LIST equals "dedicated_priority":

2> clear every stored value of "Threshx, high", "Threshx, low", "Threshx, high2", "Threshx, low2" , "EUTRA-RSRQ-offsetWB" and "EUTRA-RSRQOnAllSymbolsOffset" in every occurrence of the IE "Priority Info List" in the variable PRIORITY_INFO_LIST.

2> clear the variable PRIORITY_INFO_LIST.

1> clear the variable EUTRA_FREQUENCY_INFO_LIST;

  1. act upon the received IE "UTRA priority info list" as described in subclause 8.6.7.3a;

….

If the IE "UTRA priority info list" is received in System Information Block Type 19, the UE shall:

1> if the value of the IE "Priority status" in the variable PRIORITY_INFO_LIST equals "dedicated_priority":

2> store the value of the IEs "Sprioritysearch1", "Sprioritysearch2", "Threshserving,low" and "Threshserving,low2" in the IE "UTRA Serving Cell" in the variable PRIORITY_INFO_LIST;

2> if any of the values in any of the occurrences of the IE "Frequency List" in any occurrence of the IE "Priority Info List" within the variable PRIORITY_INFO_LIST is the frequency of the serving cell:

1. Verify that for a UE signalling both FGI 3 and FGI 4, when Inter-Frequency cells with high , equal or low priority are present and SIB19 Cell_FACH Absolute Priority Measurement Indicator is set to “ALL Layers”, the UE while in Cell_FACH state performs inter-frequency measurements and reselects to a lower priority Inter-frequency cells only when corresponding cell re-selection criteria are met.

8.3.1.1d.4 Method of test

Initial conditions

System Simulator:

– 3 cells Cell 1, Cell 4 and Cell 7. Cell1 belongs to a different frequency band than Cell 4 and Cell 7.

– Cell 1 as the active cell with SS downlink transmission power settings according to “T0” in table 8.3.1.1d below.

– SIB19 to be transmitted by Cell1 with neighbour configuration mentioned below.

User Equipment:

– UE is brought to CELL_FACH state on Cell 1 with “T0” in table 8.3.1.1d below.

– UE: PS-DCCH+DTCH_FACH (state 6-11) as specified in clause 7.4 of TS 34.108.

During T1, UE should not meet the higher nor lower priority reselection criteria

During T2, UE should meet lower priority cell reselection criteria, and should not meet the higher priority reselection criteria

Table 8.3.1.1d illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 3 cells at various time instants of the test execution. Columns marked "T0" denote the initial conditions. SS switches the power settings between columns "T1" and "T0" and between columns “T2” and “T1”, whenever the description below specifies that the transmission power settings for cell 1, cell 4 and cell 5 be reversed.

The UE is in CELL_FACH state, camping onto cell 1. SS transmits MIB with the “MIB value tag” IE different from the original setting and the SIB TYPE 19 with cell 7 as the higher priority cell and cell 4 as the lower priority cell. SS notifies the UE by sending a SYSTEM INFORMATION CHANGE INDICATION with the BCCH modification and SS waits for 5s to ensure UE reads all the SIB information. SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns “T1” in table 8.3.1.1d. The UE does not reselect to cell 7 or cell 4 as power levels do not meet the absolute priority cell reselection criteria defined in SIB 19. SS monitors that the UE does not send CELL UPDATE message on cell 4 or cell 7. SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns “T2” in table 8.3.1.1d. SS waits for the “Treselection” time configured in SIB3. The UE shall find reselect lower priority cell 4 as the absolute priority reselection criteria is met. The UE shall not reselect to higher priority cell 7 as the absolute priority reselection criteria is not met. The UE shall transmit a CELL UPDATE with cause “CELL RESELECTION” on cell 4. SS shall respond with CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message. UE sends UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM MESSAGE SS calls for generic procedure C.2 to check that UE is in CELL_FACH state.

8.3.1.1e Inter-frequency absolute priority based reselection in CELL_FACH (Higher Priority)

8.3.1.1e.1 Definition

This test case verifies reselection to the cells on different frequency bands and requires UE to support Priority Based Reselection in CELL_FACH.

8.3.1.1e.2 Conformance requirement

If the UE has received absolute priority information for inter-frequency layers, the UE shall follow these rules:

– The UE shall perform measurements of inter-frequency layers with a priority higher than the priority of the current serving layer.

NOTE: The rate of these measurements may vary depending on whether Srxlev and Squal of the serving cell are above or below Sprioritysearch1 and Sprioritysearch2. This is specified in [10].

Absolute priorities of different absolute priority layers may be provided to the UE. The following cell reselection criteria are used for inter-frequency cells if absolute priority information for inter-frequency is available to the UE, and inter-RAT cells if absolute priority information for inter-RAT is available to the UE.

If priority information is provided for any inter-frequency layers, cells belonging to inter-frequency layers for which no priority or no threshold is assigned shall not be considered for reselection.

If none of the inter-frequency layers in UTRAN are provided with both priority and threshold parameters, the cell reselection criteria in subclause 5.2.6.1.4 shall apply for inter-frequency layers in UTRAN.

If both criteria in subclause 5.2.6.1.4 and criteria in subclause 5.2.6.1.4a are simultaneously fulfilled, the order in which the reselection criteria are evaluated is left to UE implementation.

The UE may apply either priorities broadcast in system information or priorities received through dedicated signalling. The rules regarding which set of priorities shall apply are defined in [4]. UE specific priorities shall be cleared when the validity time of the UE specific priorities expires, or when a PLMN selection is performed on request by NAS. UE specific priorities are not applied in camped on any cell state.

The following definitions apply for the layers for which Threshx,high2 or Threshx,low2 are not provided:

– Criterion 1: the SrxlevnonServingCell,x of a cell on an evaluated higher absolute priority layer is greater than Threshx,high during a time interval Treselection;

The following definitions apply for the layers for which both Threshx,high2 and Threshx,low2 are provided:

– Criterion 4: the SqualnonServingCell,x of a cell on an evaluated higher absolute priority layer is greater than Threshx,high2 during a time interval Treselection;

Cell reselection to a cell on a higher absolute priority layer than the camped frequency shall be performed if criterion 1 or 4 is fulfilled.

If more than one cell meets the above criteria, the UE shall reselect the cell with the highest SrxlevnonServingCell,x among the cells meeting the criteria on the highest absolute priority layer.

The UE shall not perform cell reselection to cells for which the cell selection criterion S is not fulfilled.

The UE shall not perform cell reselection until more than 1 second has elapsed since the UE camped on the current serving cell.

The UE should not perform cell reselection while the UE has an allocated common E-DCH resource.

For UE in RRC connected mode states CELL_PCH or URA_PCH the interval Treselections,PCH applies, if provided in SIB4 (see [4]), while for UE in RRC connected mode state CELL_FACH the interval Treselections,FACH applies, if provided in SIB4 (see [4]).

In all the above criteria the values of Treselections, Treselections,PCH or Treselections,FACH apply for Treselection and are scaled according to the UE mobility state, as specified in 5.2.6.1.1a.

If the cell is not operating in MBSFN mode according to subclause 8.1.1.6.3 the UE should store all relevant IEs included in this system information block. If the cell is not operating in MBSFN mode according to subclause 8.1.1.6.3 the UE shall:

1> if the value of the IE "Priority status" in the variable PRIORITY_INFO_LIST equals "dedicated_priority":

2> clear every stored value of "Threshx, high", "Threshx, low", "Threshx, high2", "Threshx, low2" , "EUTRA-RSRQ-offsetWB" and "EUTRA-RSRQOnAllSymbolsOffset" in every occurrence of the IE "Priority Info List" in the variable PRIORITY_INFO_LIST.

1> otherwise:

2> clear the variable PRIORITY_INFO_LIST.

1> clear the variable EUTRA_FREQUENCY_INFO_LIST;

1> act upon the received IE "UTRA priority info list" as described in subclause 8.6.7.3a;

….

If the IE "UTRA priority info list" is received in System Information Block Type 19, the UE shall:

1> if the value of the IE "Priority status" in the variable PRIORITY_INFO_LIST equals "dedicated_priority":

2> store the value of the IEs "Sprioritysearch1", "Sprioritysearch2", "Threshserving,low" and "Threshserving,low2" in the IE "UTRA Serving Cell" in the variable PRIORITY_INFO_LIST;

2> if any of the values in any of the occurrences of the IE "Frequency List" in any occurrence of the IE "Priority Info List" within the variable PRIORITY_INFO_LIST is the frequency of the serving cell:

3> store the value of the IE "priority" in the IE "UTRA Serving Cell" in the variable PRIORITY_INFO_LIST.

Verify that for a UE signalling both FGI 3 and FGI 4, when Inter-Frequency cells with high , equal or low priority are present and SIB19 Cell_FACH_Absolute_Priority_Measurement_Indicator is set to “HIGH Layers” , the UE while in Cell_FACH state performs inter-frequency measurements and reselects to only high priority Inter-frequency cells only when corresponding cell re-selection criteria are met.

8.3.1.1e.4 Method of test

Initial conditions

System Simulator:

– 3 cells Cell 1, Cell 4 and Cell 7. Cell 1 belongs to a different frequency band than Cell 4 and Cell 7.

– Cell 1 as the active cell with SS downlink transmission power settings according to “T0” in table 8.3.1.1e below.

– SIB19 to be transmitted by Cell 1 with neighbour configuration mentioned below.

User Equipment:

– UE is brought to CELL_FACH state on Cell 1 with “T0” in table 8.3.1.1e below.

– UE: PS-DCCH+DTCH_FACH (state 6-11) as specified in clause 7.4 of TS 34.108.

Related ICS/IXIT statement(s)

– UE supports UTRA FDD yes/no

– UE supports EUTRA yes/no

– UE supports FGI3 (UTRA CELL_FACH absolute priority cell reselection for high priority layers) or FGI4 (UTRA CELL_FACH absolute priority cell reselection for all layers) yes/no

Table 8.3.1.1e illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 3 cells at various time instants of the test execution. Columns marked "T0" denote the initial conditions. SS switches the power settings between columns "T1" and "T0" and between columns “T2” and “T1”, whenever the description below specifies that the transmission power settings for cell 1, cell 4 and cell 5 be reversed.

The UE is in CELL_FACH state, camping onto cell 1. SS transmits MIB with the “MIB value tag” IE different from the original setting and the SIB TYPE 19 with cell 7 as the higher priority cell and cell 4 as the lower priority cell. SS notifies the UE by sending a SYSTEM INFORMATION CHANGE INDICATION with the BCCH modification and SS waits for 5s to ensure UE reads all the SIB information. SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns “T1” in table 8.3.1.1e.

The UE does not reselect to cell 7 or cell 4 as power levels do not meet the absolute priority cell reselection criteria defined in SIB 19. SS monitors that the UE does not send CELL UPDATE message on cell 4 or cell 7. SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns “T2” in table 8.3.1.1e. SS waits for the “Treselection” time configured in SIB3. The UE shall perform reselection to higher priority cell 7 as the absolute priority reselection criteria is met. The UE shall not reselect to lower priority cell 4 as the absolute priority reselection criteria is not met. The UE shall transmit a CELL UPDATE with cause “CELL RESELECTION” on cell 7. SS shall respond with CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message. UE sends UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM MESSAGE. SS calls for generic procedure C.2 to check that UE is in CELL_FACH state.

Initial Condition

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

UE: CELL_PCH (state 6-12) in cell 1 as specified in clause 7.4 of TS 34.108.

Test Procedure

The UE is brought to CELL_PCH state and is camped onto cell 1. SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.1.1. When the UE detects the presence of cell 2, it moves to CELL_FACH state and transmits a CELL UPDATE message on the uplink CCCH. The value "cell reselection" shall be set in IE "Cell update cause" in CELL UPDATE message. Upon reception of CELL_UPDATE message, SS replies with a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message with the IE "RRC State Indicator" set to "CELL_PCH". After receiving this message, the UE returns to CELL_PCH state without transmitting any uplink message. SS calls for generic procedure C.4 to check that UE is in CELL_PCH 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.

Table 8.3.1.3 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

The UE is in CELL_FACH state. When the UE detects the expiry of timer T305 according to the settings in system information, the UE transmits a CELL UPDATE message to the SS on the uplink CCCH with a cause indicating periodical cell updating. SS replies with a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message, and IE "RRC State Indicator" is set to "CELL_FACH". SS verifies that the UE does not transmit any uplink message. SS then waits for T305 to expire again. The UE shall send another CELL UPDATE message to report periodic cell updating. After the SS receives this message, it transmits a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message which includes the IEs "new C-RNTI", "new U-RNTI" to the UE on the downlink DCCH. Then the UE shall transmit an UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message on the uplink DCCH to acknowledge the receipt of the new UE identities. Next, SS transmits UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION message, which includes IE "T305" set to "infinity", to UE. UE shall transmit UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message. SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.1.3, causing the UE to enter CELL_FACH state in cell 2 and transmit a CELL UPDATE message on uplink CCCH with IE "Cell update cause" set to "cell reselection". Then SS shall transmit CELL UPDATE CONFIRM. Then the UE shall transmit an UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message on the uplink DCCH to acknowledge the receipt of the new UE identities. SS then monitors the uplink CCCH for a period of 60 minutes (ideally the SS should monitor this up to the maximum possible value for timer T305 (720 minutes), but for practical reasons 60 minutes (twice default timer of 30 minutes) is regarded as being sufficient) and verifies that no CELL_UPDATE message is received. After this, the SS transmits UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION message, which includes IE "T305" set to ‘5’, to UE. UE shall transmit UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message. SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T0" in table 8.3.1.3, causing the UE to enter CELL_FACH state in cell 1 and transmit a CELL UPDATE message on uplink CCCH with IE "Cell update cause" set to "cell reselection". Then SS shall transmit CELL UPDATE CONFIRM. Then the UE shall transmit an UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message on the uplink DCCH to acknowledge the receipt of the new UE identities. UE shall resume periodic cell updating procedure and transmit CELL_UPDATE message after T305 (5 minutes) expires.

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.

Table 8.3.1.3a illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

The UE is in CELL_FACH state. When the UE detects the expiry of timer T305 according to the settings in system information, the UE transmits a CELL UPDATE message to the SS on the uplink CCCH with a cause indicating periodical cell updating. SS replies with a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message, and IE "RRC State Indicator" is set to "CELL_FACH". SS verifies that the UE does not transmit any uplink message. SS then waits for T305 to expire again. The UE shall send another CELL UPDATE message to report periodic cell updating. After the SS receives this message, it transmits a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message which includes the IEs "new C-RNTI", "new U-RNTI" to the UE on the downlink DCCH. Then the UE shall transmit an UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message on the uplink DCCH to acknowledge the receipt of the new UE identities. Next, SS transmits UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION message, which includes IE "T305" set to "infinity", to UE. UE shall transmit UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message. SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.1.3a, causing the UE to enter CELL_FACH state in cell 2 and transmit a CELL UPDATE message on uplink CCCH with IE "Cell update cause" set to "cell reselection". Then SS shall transmit CELL UPDATE CONFIRM. Then the UE shall transmit an UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message on the uplink DCCH to acknowledge the receipt of the new UE identities. SS then monitors the uplink CCCH for a period of 60 minutes (ideally the SS should monitor this up to the maximum possible value for timer T305 (720 minutes), but for practical reasons 60 minutes (twice default timer of 30 minutes) is regarded as being sufficient) and verifies that no CELL_UPDATE message is received. After this, the SS transmits UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION message, which includes IE "T305" set to ‘5’, to UE. UE shall transmit UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message. SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T0" in table 8.3.1.3a, causing the UE to enter CELL_FACH state in cell 1 and transmit a CELL UPDATE message on uplink CCCH with IE "Cell update cause" set to "cell reselection". Then SS shall transmit CELL UPDATE CONFIRM. Then the UE shall transmit an UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message on the uplink DCCH to acknowledge the receipt of the new UE identities. UE shall resume periodic cell updating procedure and transmit CELL_UPDATE message after T305 (5 minutes) expires. SS should transmit CELL UPDATE CONFIRM. If the test result of C.2 indicates that UE is in CELL_FACH state, the test passes, otherwise it fails. After T305 (5 minutes) expires, UE transmits CELL UPDATE at CELL1. SS indicates that UE is in CELL_DCH state and changes the carrier and UpPCH shifting position. UE transmits PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE.

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.

Table 8.3.1.4 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

The UE starts from CELL_PCH state. When the UE detects the expiry of periodic cell updating timer T305 according to the system information, the UE moves to CELL_FACH state. It shall transmit a CELL UPDATE message on the uplink CCCH and set the value "periodical cell update" into IE "Cell update cause". SS answers with a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message on the downlink DCCH. Then the UE shall transmit an UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message on the uplink DCCH to acknowledge the receipt of the new UE identities. SS transmits UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION message, which includes IE "T305" set to "infinity", to UE. UE shall transmit UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message. SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.1.4, causing the UE to enter CELL_FACH state in cell 2 and transmit a CELL UPDATE message on uplink CCCH with IE "Cell update cause" set to "cell reselection". Then SS shall transmit CELL UPDATE CONFIRM with IE "RRC state indicator" set to "CELL_PCH" on the downlink CCCH. Then UE shall enter CELL_PCH state. SS then monitors the uplink CCCH for a period of 60 minutes (ideally the SS should monitor this up to the maximum possible value for timer T305 (720 minutes), but for practical reasons 60 minutes (twice default timer of 30 minutes) is regarded as being sufficient) and verifies that no CELL_UPDATE message is received. SS then configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T0" in table 8.3.1.4, causing the UE to enter CELL_FACH state in cell 1 and transmit a CELL UPDATE message on uplink CCCH with IE "Cell update cause" set to "cell reselection". Then SS shall transmit CELL UPDATE CONFIRM on the downlink DCCH. Then the UE shall transmit an UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message on the uplink DCCH to acknowledge the receipt of the new UE identities. Next, SS transmits UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION message, which includes IE "T305" set to "5", to UE. UE shall transmit UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message. SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.1.4, causing the UE to enter CELL_FACH state in cell 2 and transmit a CELL UPDATE message on uplink CCCH with IE "Cell update cause" set to "cell reselection". Then SS shall transmit CELL UPDATE CONFIRM with IE "RRC state indicator" set to "CELL_PCH" on the downlink CCCH. Then UE shall enter CELL_PCH state. After T305 expires, UE shall transmit CELL UPDATE message with IE "cell update cause" set to "periodical cell update". SS shall transmit CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message on the downlink CCCH to end the procedure.

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.

Table 8.3.1.10 illustrates the downlink power to be applied at various time instants of the test execution. Columns marked "T0" denote the initial conditions.

The UE is in CELL_FACH state at the start of the test. Before the expiry of periodic cell updating timer T305, the content of the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 3 and 4 is modified. After T305 expires, UE shall transmit CELL UPDATE message with IE "cell update cause" set to "periodical cell update". SS shall transmit CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message. Now the UE and SS are synchronized. Immediately after the cell update procedure is finalized, the SS starts a delay timer Tdelay (see below for limits on the timer value). When Tdelay expires the SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.1.10 so that S<0 and this results in a "out of service area" condition. The SS continues to listen to the uplink channel to detect possible attempts to perform a cell updating procedure. The UE shall not send any CELL UPDATE message on the uplink CCCH, instead it triggers timer T307 after expiry of T305. After the expiry of timer T305+T307+10% margin since completion of the cell update procedure, SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T0" in table 8.3.1.10 so that S>0, the UE shall enter idle state. SS waits for 60s and then calls for generic procedure C.1 to check that UE is in idle mode state.

NOTE 1: The value chosen for Tdelay should be midway between the following logical minimum and maximum values:

Minimum > T305 + T307 – T317

Maximum < T305

NOTE 2: TS 25.331 (from June 2003) specifies that the UE should treat any value of T317 received from UTRAN as though it is equal to infinity. Nevertheless, the value of T317 used in Note 1 should be the value broadcast in SIB1 by the SS (or the implied default value if none is broadcast).

8.3.1.15 Cell Update: Unrecoverable error in Acknowledged Mode RLC SRB

8.3.1.15.1 Definition

8.3.1.15.2 Conformance Requirement

A UE shall initiate the cell update procedure in the following cases:

1> RLC unrecoverable error:

2> if the UE detects RLC unrecoverable error in an AM RLC entity:

3> perform cell update using the cause "RLC unrecoverable error".

In case of cell update procedure the UE shall transmit a CELL UPDATE message.

The UE shall set the IEs in the CELL UPDATE message as follows:

1> if an unrecoverable error in any of the AM RLC entities for the signalling radio bearers RB2, RB3 or RB4 is detected:

2> set the IE "AM_RLC error indication (RB2, RB3 or RB4)" to TRUE.

1> otherwise:

2> set the IE "AM_RLC error indication (RB2, RB3 or RB4)" to FALSE.

When the UTRAN receives a CELL UPDATE/URA UPDATE message, the UTRAN should:

1> initiate an RRC connection release procedure (see subclause 8.1.4 in TS 25.331) by transmitting an RRC CONNECTION RELEASE message on the downlink CCCH. In particular UTRAN should:

2> if the CELL UPDATE message was sent because of an unrecoverable error in RB2, RB3 or RB4:

3> initiate an RRC connection release procedure by transmitting an RRC CONNECTION RELEASE message on the downlink CCCH.

8.3.1.15.3 Test Purpose

– To confirm that the UE reports the occurrence of an unrecoverable error in a C-plane AM RLC entity by initiating cell update procedure.

– To confirm that UE enters idle mode state after receiving RRC CONNECTION RELEASE message on the downlink CCCH.

8.3.1.15.4 Method of Test

Initial Condition

System Simulator: 1 cell

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 supported by the UE

The RRC CONNECTION SETUP message used in the initial setup should be as shown under Specific Message Contents below.

Test Procedure

The UE is initially in CELL_DCH state. SS sends a UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY message on the DCCH using AM mode. The UE shall reply with a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message, sent using AM RLC on the DCCH.

SS does not acknowledge the AM PDUs carrying this message. The UE shall continue to re-transmit the AM PDU carrying UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message until the maximum re-transmission count is reached.

Thereafter, the UE shall start sending RESET PDUs to request that the AM RLC entity for RRC signalling be re-initialized. SS ignores all RESET PDUs from the UE.

At this point, the UE shall initiate a cell update procedure by transmitting a CELL UPDATE message on the uplink CCCH. The CELL UPDATE message shall specify the value "TRUE" in IE "AM_RLC error indicator (RB2, RB3 or RB4)" and "RLC unrecoverable error" as the cell update cause.

SS sends RRC CONNECTION RELEASE message on the downlink CCCH to UE. SS waits for 5 s and then calls for generic procedure C.1 to check that UE is in idle mode state.

Table 8.3.1.18 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution. Column marked "T0" denote the initial conditions.

The UE is brought to CELL_DCH state in a cell 1 after making a successful outgoing call attempt. After the call has been established, SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to column "T1" in table 8.3.1.18. The UE shall detect a radio link failure in cell 1.

Then it shall attempt to re-select to cell 2. After that, it shall transmit CELL UPDATE on the uplink CCCH to SS. The SS transmits CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message which includes dedicated transport and physical channel parameters on downlink DCCH. SS shall not configure according to this message. Instead, SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to column "T2" in table 8.3.1.18. UE shall fail to establish the dedicated channel in cell 2.

UE shall re-select to cell 1 and transmit a CELL UPDATE message with IE "Cell update cause" set to "Radio link failure". Then SS responds with a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message on downlink DCCH. Then the UE shall transmit a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH.

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.

8.3.1.23 Cell Update: HCS cell reselection in CELL_FACH

8.3.1.23.1 Definition

8.3.1.23.2 Conformance requirement

1. The quality level threshold criterion H for hierarchical cell structures is used to determine whether prioritised ranking according to hierarchical cell re-selection rules shall apply, and is defined by:

2. The cell-ranking criterion R is defined by:

where:

TEMP_OFFSETn applies an offset to the H and R criteria for the duration of PENALTY_TIMEn after a timer Tn has started for that neighbouring cell.

The timer Tn is implemented for each neighbouring cell. Tn shall be started from zero when one of the following conditions becomes true:

– if HCS_PRIOn <> HCS_PRIOs and

Qmeas,n > Qhcsn

Or

– if HCS_PRIOn = HCS_PRIOs and

– for serving FDD and neighbour FDD cells if the quality measure for cell selection and reselection is set to CPICH RSCP in the serving cell, and:

Qmeas,n > Qmeas,s + Qoffset1s,n

– for serving FDD and neighbour FDD cells if the quality measure for cell selection and reselection is set to CPICH Ec/No in the serving cell, and:

Qmeas,n > Qmeas,s + Qoffset2s,n

– for all other serving and neighbour cells:

Qmeas,n > Qmeas,s + Qoffset1s,n

Tn for the associated neighbour cell shall be stopped as soon as any of the above conditions are no longer fulfilled. Any value calculated for TOn is valid only if the associated timer Tn is still running else TOn shall be set to zero.

At cell-reselection, a timer Tn is stopped only if the corresponding cell is not a neighbour cell of the new serving cell, or if the criteria given above for starting timer Tn for the corresponding cell is no longer fulfilled with the parameters of the new serving cell. On cell re-selection, timer Tn shall be continued to be run for the corresponding cells but the criteria given above shall be evaluated with parameters broadcast in the new serving cell if the corresponding cells are neighbours of the new serving cell.

3. The cell selection criterion S used for cell reselection is fulfilled when:

Where :

4. The UE shall perform ranking of all cells that fulfil the S criterion among

– all cells that have the highest HCS_PRIO among those cells that fulfil the criterion H >= 0. Note that this rule is not valid when UE high-mobility is detected.

– all cells, not considering HCS priority levels, if no cell fulfil the criterion H >= 0. This case is also valid when it is indicated in system information that HCS is not used, that is when serving cell does not belong to a hierarchical cell structure.

The cells shall be ranked according to the R criteria.

The best ranked cell is the cell with the highest R value.

5. If an FDD cell is ranked as the best cell and the quality measure for cell selection and re-selection is set to CPICH RSCP, the UE shall perform cell re-selection to that FDD cell.

In all cases, the UE shall reselect the new cell, only if the following conditions are met:

– the new cell is better ranked than the serving cell during a time interval Treselection.

– more than 1 second has elapsed since the UE camped on the current serving cell.

6. The cell reselection process in Connected Mode is the same as cell reselection evaluation process used for idle mode, described in subclause 5.2.6 of 25.304.

7. A UE shall initiate the cell update procedure in the following cases:

1> Uplink data transmission:

1> Paging response:

1> Radio link failure:

1> Re-entering service area:

1> RLC unrecoverable error:

1> Cell reselection:

2> if none of the criteria for performing cell update with the causes specified above in the current subclause is met:

3> if the UE is in CELL_FACH or CELL_PCH state and the UE performs cell re-selection; or

3> if the UE is in CELL_FACH state and the variable C_RNTI is empty:

4> perform cell update using the cause "cell reselection".

(*) NOTE: this parameter is calculated internally in the UE and is only shown for clarification of the test procedure.

The UE is in the CELL_FACH state, camping onto cell 1. SS configures Cell 2 and 3 with power levels given in column "TO" and starts to broadcast BCCH on the primary CCPCH in cell 2 & 3. UE shall remain camped on the Cell 1 even after expiry of penalty time i.e. 40 seconds. SS sets downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.1.23-1. The UE shall find cell 3 to be more suitable for service and hence perform a cell reselection to cell 3 after at-least 40 Seconds (Penalty Time) after the power levels have been changed. After the completion of cell reselection, the UE shall transmit a CELL UPDATE message to the SS on the uplink CCCH of cell 3 and set IE "Cell update cause" to "Cell Reselection". After the SS receives this message, it transmits a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message, which includes the IE "RRC State Indicator" set to "CELL_FACH", to the UE on the downlink DCCH. Then the UE shall transmit an UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message on the uplink DCCH to acknowledge the receipt of the new UE identities. UE shall stay in CELL_FACH state. SS then sets downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T2" in table 8.3.1.23-1. The UE shall find cell 2 to be more suitable for service after the expiry of the penalty time and hence perform a cell reselection to cell 2 after the power levels have been changed. After the completion of cell reselection, the UE shall transmit a CELL UPDATE message to the SS on the uplink CCCH of cell 2 and set IE "Cell update cause" to "Cell Reselection". After the SS receives this message, it transmits a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message, which includes the IE "RRC State Indicator" set to "CELL_FACH", to the UE on the downlink DCCH. Then the UE shall transmit an UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message on the uplink DCCH to acknowledge the receipt of the new UE identities. UE shall stay in CELL_FACH 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.

8.3.1.24 Cell Update: HCS cell reselection in CELL_PCH

8.3.1.24.1 Definition

8.3.1.24.2 Conformance requirement

1. The quality level threshold criterion H for hierarchical cell structures is used to determine whether prioritised ranking according to hierarchical cell re-selection rules shall apply, and is defined by:

2. The cell-ranking criterion R is defined by:

where:

TEMP_OFFSETn applies an offset to the H and R criteria for the duration of PENALTY_TIMEn after a timer Tn has started for that neighbouring cell.

The timer Tn is implemented for each neighbouring cell. Tn shall be started from zero when one of the following conditions becomes true:

– if HCS_PRIOn <> HCS_PRIOs and

Qmeas,n > Qhcsn

Or

– if HCS_PRIOn = HCS_PRIOs and

– for serving FDD and neighbour FDD cells if the quality measure for cell selection and reselection is set to CPICH RSCP in the serving cell, and:

Qmeas,n > Qmeas,s + Qoffset1s,n

– for serving FDD and neighbour FDD cells if the quality measure for cell selection and reselection is set to CPICH Ec/No in the serving cell, and:

Qmeas,n > Qmeas,s + Qoffset2s,n

– for all other serving and neighbour cells:

Qmeas,n > Qmeas,s + Qoffset1s,n

Tn for the associated neighbour cell shall be stopped as soon as any of the above conditions are no longer fulfilled. Any value calculated for TOn is valid only if the associated timer Tn is still running else TOn shall be set to zero.

At cell-reselection, a timer Tn is stopped only if the corresponding cell is not a neighbour cell of the new serving cell, or if the criteria given above for starting timer Tn for the corresponding cell is no longer fulfilled with the parameters of the new serving cell. On cell re-selection, timer Tn shall be continued to be run for the corresponding cells but the criteria given above shall be evaluated with parameters broadcast in the new serving cell if the corresponding cells are neighbours of the new serving cell.

3. The cell selection criterion S used for cell reselection is fulfilled when:

Where :

4. The UE shall perform ranking of all cells that fulfil the S criterion among

– all cells that have the highest HCS_PRIO among those cells that fulfil the criterion H >= 0. Note that this rule is not valid when UE high-mobility is detected.

– all cells, not considering HCS priority levels, if no cell fulfil the criterion H >= 0. This case is also valid when it is indicated in system information that HCS is not used, that is when serving cell does not belong to a hierarchical cell structure.

The cells shall be ranked according to the R criteria.

The best ranked cell is the cell with the highest R value.

5. If an FDD cell is ranked as the best cell and the quality measure for cell selection and re-selection is set to CPICH RSCP, the UE shall perform cell re-selection to that FDD cell.

In all cases, the UE shall reselect the new cell, only if the following conditions are met:

– the new cell is better ranked than the serving cell during a time interval Treselection.

– more than 1 second has elapsed since the UE camped on the current serving cell.

6. The cell reselection process in Connected Mode is the same as cell reselection evaluation process used for idle mode, described in subclause 5.2.6 of 25.304.

7. A UE shall initiate the cell update procedure in the following cases:

1> Uplink data transmission:

1> Paging response:

1> Radio link failure:

1> Re-entering service area:

1> RLC unrecoverable error:

1> Cell reselection:

2> if none of the criteria for performing cell update with the causes specified above in the current subclause is met:

3> if the UE is in CELL_FACH or CELL_PCH state and the UE performs cell re-selection; or

3> if the UE is in CELL_FACH state and the variable C_RNTI is empty:

4> perform cell update using the cause "cell reselection".

(*) Note: this parameter is calculated internally in the UE and is only shown for clarification of the test procedure.

The UE is in the CELL_PCH state, camping onto cell 1. SS configures Cell 2 and 3 with power levels given in column "TO" and starts to broadcast BCCH on the primary CCPCH in cell 2 & 3. UE shall remain camped on the Cell 1 even after expiry of penalty time i.e. 40 seconds. SS sets downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.1.24-1. The UE shall find cell 3 to be more suitable for service and hence perform a cell reselection to cell 3 after at-least 40 Seconds (Penalty Time) after the power levels have been changed. After the completion of cell reselection, the UE shall move to CELL_FACH state and transmit a CELL UPDATE message to the SS on the uplink CCCH of cell 3 and set IE "Cell update cause" to "Cell Reselection". After SS receives this message, it transmits a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message, which includes the IE "RRC State Indicator" set to "CELL_PCH", to the UE on the downlink CCCH. UE shall return to CELL_PCH state in Cell 3 and will not transmit anything on PRACH. SS then sets downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T2" in table 8.3.1.24-1. The UE shall find cell 2 to be more suitable for service after the expiry of penalty time and hence perform a cell reselection to cell 2 after the power levels have been changed. After the completion of cell reselection, the UE shall move to CELL_FACH state and transmit a CELL UPDATE message to the SS on the uplink CCCH of cell 2 and set IE "Cell update cause" to "Cell Reselection". After the SS receives this message, it transmits a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message, which includes the IE "RRC State Indicator" set to "CELL_PCH", to the UE on the downlink DCCH. UE shall return to CELL_PCH state in Cell 2 and will not transmit anything on PRACH.

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.

1

The UE is in the CELL_PCH state in cell 1

2

BCCH

SS applies the downlink transmission power settings, according to the values in columns "T0" of table 8.3.1.24-1. The SS starts to broadcast BCCH on the primary CCPCH in cell 2 and Cell 3. The UE shall still find Cell 1 best for service even after penalty time of 40 seconds, and shall remain in Cell 1 in CELL_PCH State

3

SS changes the power levels as per column ‘T1’ in the table 8.3.1.24-1. For the time equal to Penalty time 40 Seconds, after the change in power levels, the UE shall still find Cell 1 as best for service and remain in cell 1. After Penalty time of 40 Seconds, UE shall find Cell 3 better for service and perform a reselection. SS waits for the maximum duration required for the UE to camp to cell 3.

4

CELL UPDATE

The UE moves to CELL_FACH state and transmits this message with the IE "Cell update cause" set to "cell reselection". Received in Cell 3

5

CELL UPDATE CONFIRM

Message sent on CCCH with IE "RRC State Indicator" is set to "CELL_PCH".

7

SS changes the power levels as per column ‘T2’ in the table 8.3.1.24-1. SS Checks that no cell update message is received during penalty time as the UE shall find Cell 2 better for service and perform a reselection after the expiry of penalty time. SS waits for the maximum duration required for the UE to camp to cell 2.

8

CELL UPDATE

The UE moves to CELL_FACH state and transmits this message with the IE "Cell update cause" set to "cell reselection". Received in Cell 2

9

CELL UPDATE CONFIRM

Message sent on DCCH with IE "RRC State Indicator" is set to "CELL_PCH".

The UE is brought to CELL_DCH state after making a successful outgoing call attempt. After the call has been established, SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to column ‘T1’ in table 8.3.1.29. The UE shall detect a radio link failure in cell 1.

The SS shall wait for 12s (see Note 1) and then configure its downlink transmission power settings according to column ‘T0’ in table 8.3.1.29. The UE shall release radio bearer associated with T314 and enter idle mode state. SS calls for generic procedure C.1 to check that UE is in Idle Mode state in cell 1.

NOTE 1: Considering the timer tolerance of the UE, T314 may expire between 12s0.3s, therefore the SS must wait for at least 12.3s before it reconfigures it downlink transmission power. Since SS has a timer tolerance of 10% or 2*TTI+55ms (consider the greater value of the two), the test case shall set the SS to reconfigure the power level 13.67s after the SS configures the power settings according to column ‘T1’ in table 8.3.1.29.

The UE is brought to CELL_DCH state after making a successful outgoing call attempt. After the call has been established, SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to column ‘T1’ in table 8.3.1.30. The UE shall detect a radio link failure in cell 1.

Case A (the initial condition of the UE is in state 6-10):

The SS shall wait for 69.3s (see Note 2) and then configure its downlink transmission power settings according to column ‘T0’ in table 8.3.1.30. The UE shall release radio bearer associated with T315 and enter idle mode state. SS calls for generic procedure C.1 to check that UE is in Idle Mode state in cell 1.

Case B (the initial condition of the UE is in state 6-14):

The SS shall wait for 16.5s (see Note 1) and then configure its downlink transmission power settings according to column ‘T0’ in table 8.3.1.30. The UE shall release radio bearer associated with T314 and attempt to re-select to cell 1. After that, it shall then enter CELL_FACH state and transmit CELL UPDATE on the uplink CCCH to SS. The SS transmits CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message which includes dedicated physical channel and transport channel parameters on downlink DCCH. Then the UE shall transmit a TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH. The UE may also optionally send “Signalling Connection Release Indicator for CS domain, which can occur before or after TRANSPORT CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message. SS transmits COUNTER CHECK message to UE. UE shall transmit a COUNTER CHECK RESPONSE message back to SS. Then SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to column ‘T1’ in table 8.3.1.30. The UE shall detect a radio link failure in cell 1. The SS shall wait for 69.3s (see Note 2) and then configure its downlink transmission power settings according to column ‘T0’ in table 8.3.1.30. The UE shall release radio bearer associated with T315 and enter idle mode state. SS calls for generic procedure C.1 to check that UE is in Idle Mode state in cell 1.

NOTE 1: Considering the timer tolerance of the UE, T314 may expire in 12s, therefore the SS must wait for at least 12.0s plus T313 (3.0s) for UE to detect Radio Link Failure before it reconfigures downlink transmission power. Since SS has a timer tolerance of 10% or 2*TTI+55ms (consider the greater value of the two), the test case shall set the SS to reconfigure the power level 16.5s after the SS configures the power settings according to column ‘T1’ in table 8.3.1.30.

NOTE 2: Considering the timer tolerance of the UE, T315 may expire in 60s, therefore the SS must wait for at least 60.0s plus T313 (3.0s) for UE to detect Radio Link Failure before it reconfigures it downlink transmission power. Since SS has a timer tolerance of 10% or 2*TTI+55ms (consider the greater value of the two), the test case shall set the SS to reconfigure the power level 69.3s after the SS configures the power settings according to column ‘T1’ in table 8.3.1.30.

Table 8.3.1.31 illustrates the downlink power to be applied at various time instants of the test execution. Columns marked "T0" denote the initial conditions.

The UE is initially in URA_PCH state. The content of the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 3 and 4 is modified. The SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.1.31 so that S<0. When the UE detects that it is out of service area, it will start T316 and search for a cell to camp. SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T0" in table 8.3.1.31 within a time equivalent to T316+T317 but larger than T316, so that S>0. The UE shall detect that it returns back in service area before T317 expires. Since the UE has moved to CELL_FACH state on expiry of T316, it shall now transmit a CELL UPDATE message which contains the value "re-entering service area" in IE "Cell update cause" to the SS on the uplink CCCH. After the SS receives this message, it transmits a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message which includes the IE "new C-RNTI", and "new U-RNTI" to the UE on the downlink DCCH. Then the UE shall transmit an UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message on the uplink DCCH.

Table 8.3.1.33 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

SS initiates P25 to make the UE move to state 6-17 as specified in TS34.108 clause7.4. The UE is in the CELL_DCH state in cell 1 and has a radio bearer established that is mapped to HS-DSCH. The SS has configured its downlink transmission power setting according to columns "T0" in table 8.3.1.33.

The SS switches its downlink transmission power settings to columns "T1". The SS transmits a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message, which invokes the UE to transit from CELL_DCH to CELL_PCH in cell 6. The UE transmits a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message using AM RLC, selects cell 6 and enters CELL_PCH state.

The SS transmits a PAGING TYPE 1 message. The UE enters the CELL_FACH state to transmit a CELL UPDATE message using uplink CCCH in cell 6 in response to the paging.

The SS switches its downlink transmission power settings to columns "T2". The SS transmits CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message, which includes DPCH and HS-PDSCH physical channel parameters for cell 1 on the downlink DCCH. Then the UE establishes the DPCH and HS-PDSCH in cell 1 and resumes HS-DSCH reception and transmit a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH in cell 1.

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.

Table 8.3.1.33 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

SS initiates P25 to make the UE move to state 6-17 as specified in TS34.108 clause7.4. The UE is in the CELL_DCH state in cell 1 and has a radio bearer established that is mapped to HS-DSCH. The SS has configured its downlink transmission power setting according to columns "T0" in table 8.3.1.33a.

The SS switches its downlink transmission power settings to columns "T1". The SS transmits a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message, which invokes the UE to transit from CELL_DCH to CELL_PCH in cell 6. The UE transmits a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message using AM RLC, selects cell 6 and enters CELL_PCH state.

The SS transmits a PAGING TYPE 1 message. The UE enters the CELL_FACH state to transmit a CELL UPDATE message using uplink CCCH in cell 6 in response to the paging.

The SS switches its downlink transmission power settings to columns "T2". The SS transmits CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message, which includes DPCH and HS-PDSCH physical channel parameters for cell 1 on the downlink DCCH. Then the UE establishes the DPCH and HS-PDSCH in cell 1 and resumes HS-DSCH reception and transmit a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH in cell 1.

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.

Table 8.3.1.35 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution. Column marked "T0" denote the initial conditions.

The UE is in CELL_DCH state and only signalling radio bearers have been established. SS initiates P25 to make the UE to move to state 6-17 as specified in TS 34.108 clause 7.4. The UE is in the CELL_DCH state and has a radio bearer established that is mapped to HS-DSCH. SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to column "T1" in table 8.3.1.35. The UE shall detect a radio link failure in cell 1.

Then it shall attempt to re-select to cell 2. After that, it shall then enter CELL_FACH state and transmit a CELL UPDATE message on the uplink CCCH to SS.

The SS transmits a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message which request the UE to transit to CELL_DCH state and start reception of HS-DSCH.

8.3.1.38 Cell Update: state specific handling of Treselection and Qhyst for cell reselection in CELL_FACH

8.3.1.38.1 Conformance requirement

2. The cell-ranking criterion R is defined by:

The cells shall be ranked according to the R criteria specified above, deriving Qmeas,n and Qmeas,s and calculating the R values using CPICH RSCP, P-CCPCH RSCP and the averaged received signal level as specified in [10] and [11] for FDD, TDD and GSM cells, respectively.

The offset Qoffset1s,n is used for Qoffsets,n to calculate Rn, the hysteresis Qhyst1s is used for Qhysts to calculate Rs. For UE in RRC connected mode states CELL_PCH or URA_PCH the hysteresis Qhysts takes the value Qhyst1s,PCH to calculate Rs, if provided in SIB4 [see 4]. For UE in RRC connected mode state CELL_FACH the hysteresis Qhysts takes the value Qhyst1s,FACH to calculate Rs, if provided in SIB4 [see 4].

If an FDD cell is ranked as the best cell and the quality measure for cell selection and re-selection is set to CPICH Ec/No, the UE shall perform a second ranking of the FDD cells according to the R criteria specified above, but using the measurement quantity CPICH Ec/No for deriving the Qmeas,n and Qmeas,s and calculating the R values of the FDD cells. The offset Qoffset2s,n is used for Qoffsets,n to calculate Rn, the hysteresis Qhyst2s is used for Qhysts to calculate Rs. For UE in RRC connected mode states CELL_PCH or URA_PCH the hysteresis Qhysts takes the value Qhyst2s,PCH to calculate Rs, if provided in SIB4 [see 4]. For UE in RRC connected mode state CELL_FACH the hysteresis Qhysts takes the value Qhyst2s,FACH to calculate Rs, if provided in SIB4 [see 4]. If the usage of HCS is indicated in system information, TEMP_OFFSET2n is used to calculate TOn. If it is indicated in system information that HCS is not used, TEMP_OFFSETn is not applied when calculating Rn. Following this second ranking, the UE shall perform cell re-selection to the best ranked FDD cell.

In all cases, the UE shall reselect the new cell, only if the following conditions are met:

– the new cell is better ranked than the serving cell during a time interval Treselection. For UE in RRC connected mode states CELL_PCH or URA_PCH the interval Treselections,PCH applies, if provided in SIB4 [see 4], while for UE in RRC connected mode state CELL_FACH the interval Treselections,FACH applies, if provided in SIB4 [see 4]. For hierarchical cell structures when high mobility state has not been detected, if according to the HCS rules the serving cell is not ranked then all the ranked cells are considered to be better ranked than the serving cell.

Qhyst1s,FACH

This specifies the hysteresis value (Qhyst) to be used in RRC connected mode state CELL_FACH. It is used for TDD and GSM cells and for FDD cells in case the quality measure for cell selection and re-selection is set to CPICH RSCP. If this parameter is not provided in SIB4, Qhyst1s shall be used.

Qhyst2s,FACH

This specifies the hysteresis value (Qhyst) to be used in RRC connected mode state CELL_FACH. It is used for FDD cells if the quality measure for cell selection and re-selection is set to CPICH Ec/No. If this parameter is not provided in SIB4, Qhyst2s shall be used.

Treselections,FACH

This specifies the cell reselection timer value the UE shall use in RRC connected mode state CELL_FACH if provided in SIB4, otherwise Treselections shall be used.

A UE shall initiate the cell update procedure in the following cases:

1> Cell reselection:

2> if none of the criteria for performing cell update with the causes specified above in the current subclause is met:

3> if the UE is in CELL_FACH or CELL_PCH state and the UE performs cell re-selection; or

3> if the UE is in CELL_FACH state and the variable C_RNTI is empty:

4> perform cell update using the cause "cell reselection".

the UE shall:

1> in case of a cell update procedure:

2> set the IE "RRC transaction identifier" in any response message transmitted below to the value of "RRC transaction identifier" in the entry for the CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message in the table "Accepted transactions" in the variable TRANSACTIONS; and

2> clear that entry.

1> transmit a response message as specified in TS 25.331 subclause 8.3.1.7;

Table 8.3.1.38 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution. Columns marked "T0" denote the initial conditions. SS switches the power settings to columns "T1" and “T2”, when the description below specifies.

The UE is in the CELL_FACH state, camping onto cell 1. SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.1.38. The UE shall remain on cell 1 even after expiry of Treselecion. SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T2" in table 8.3.1.38. The UE shall find cell 4 to be more suitable for service after expiry of Treselection, and shall transmit a CELL UPDATE message to the SS on the uplink CCCH of cell 4 and set IE "Cell update cause" to "Cell Reselection". SS checks this is received after expiry of Treselection. After the SS receives this message, it transmits a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message, which includes the IE "RRC State Indicator" set to "CELL_FACH", and a valid IE "New C-RNTI", to the UE on the downlink DCCH. UE responds with UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message.. UE shall stay in CELL_FACH state. SS calls for generic procedure C.2 to check that UE is in CELL_FACH 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.

8.3.1.39 Cell Update: state specific handling of Treselection and Qhyst for cell reselection in CELL_PCH

8.3.1.39.1 Conformance requirement

2. The cell-ranking criterion R is defined by:

The cells shall be ranked according to the R criteria specified above, deriving Qmeas,n and Qmeas,s and calculating the R values using CPICH RSCP, P-CCPCH RSCP and the averaged received signal level as specified in [10] and [11] for FDD, TDD and GSM cells, respectively.

The offset Qoffset1s,n is used for Qoffsets,n to calculate Rn, the hysteresis Qhyst1s is used for Qhysts to calculate Rs. For UE in RRC connected mode states CELL_PCH or URA_PCH the hysteresis Qhysts takes the value Qhyst1s,PCH to calculate Rs, if provided in SIB4 [see 4]. For UE in RRC connected mode state CELL_FACH the hysteresis Qhysts takes the value Qhyst1s,FACH to calculate Rs, if provided in SIB4 [see 4].

If an FDD cell is ranked as the best cell and the quality measure for cell selection and re-selection is set to CPICH Ec/No, the UE shall perform a second ranking of the FDD cells according to the R criteria specified above, but using the measurement quantity CPICH Ec/No for deriving the Qmeas,n and Qmeas,s and calculating the R values of the FDD cells. The offset Qoffset2s,n is used for Qoffsets,n to calculate Rn, the hysteresis Qhyst2s is used for Qhysts to calculate Rs. For UE in RRC connected mode states CELL_PCH or URA_PCH the hysteresis Qhysts takes the value Qhyst2s,PCH to calculate Rs, if provided in SIB4 [see 4]. For UE in RRC connected mode state CELL_FACH the hysteresis Qhysts takes the value Qhyst2s,FACH to calculate Rs, if provided in SIB4 [see 4]. If the usage of HCS is indicated in system information, TEMP_OFFSET2n is used to calculate TOn. If it is indicated in system information that HCS is not used, TEMP_OFFSETn is not applied when calculating Rn. Following this second ranking, the UE shall perform cell re-selection to the best ranked FDD cell.

In all cases, the UE shall reselect the new cell, only if the following conditions are met:

– the new cell is better ranked than the serving cell during a time interval Treselection. For UE in RRC connected mode states CELL_PCH or URA_PCH the interval Treselections,PCH applies, if provided in SIB4 [see 4], while for UE in RRC connected mode state CELL_FACH the interval Treselections,FACH applies, if provided in SIB4 [see 4]. For hierarchical cell structures when high mobility state has not been detected, if according to the HCS rules the serving cell is not ranked then all the ranked cells are considered to be better ranked than the serving cell.

Qhyst1s,PCH

This specifies the hysteresis value (Qhyst) to be used in RRC connected mode states CELL_PCH and URA_PCH. It is used for TDD and GSM cells and for FDD cells in case the quality measure for cell selection and re-selection is set to CPICH RSCP. If this parameter is not provided in SIB4, Qhyst1s shall be used.

Qhyst2s,PCH

This specifies the hysteresis value (Qhyst) to be used in RRC connected mode states CELL_PCH and URA_PCH. It is used for FDD cells if the quality measure for cell selection and re-selection is set to CPICH Ec/No. If this parameter is not provided in SIB4, Qhyst2s shall be used.

Treselections,PCH

This specifies the cell reselection timer value the UE shall use in RRC connected mode states CELL_PCH and URA_PCH if provided in SIB4, otherwise Treselections shall be used.

A UE shall initiate the cell update procedure in the following cases:

1> Cell reselection:

2> if none of the criteria for performing cell update with the causes specified above in the current subclause is met:

3> if the UE is in CELL_FACH or CELL_PCH state and the UE performs cell re-selection; or

3> if the UE is in CELL_FACH state and the variable C_RNTI is empty:

4> perform cell update using the cause "cell reselection".

the UE shall:

1> in case of a cell update procedure:

2> set the IE "RRC transaction identifier" in any response message transmitted below to the value of "RRC transaction identifier" in the entry for the CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message in the table "Accepted transactions" in the variable TRANSACTIONS; and

2> clear that entry.

1> transmit a response message as specified in TS 25.331 subclause 8.3.1.7;

Table 8.3.1.39 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution. Columns marked "T0" denote the initial conditions. SS switches the power settings to columns "T1" and “T2”, when the description below specifies.

The UE is brought to CELL_PCH state and is camped onto cell 1. SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.1.39. The UE shall remain on cell 1 even after expiry of Treselecion. SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T2" in table 8.3.1.39. The UE shall find cell 4 to be more suitable for service after expiry of Treselection, and shall transmit a CELL UPDATE message to the SS on the uplink CCCH of cell 4 and set IE "Cell update cause" to "Cell Reselection". SS checks this is received after expiry of Treselection. Upon reception of CELL_UPDATE message, SS replies with a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message with the IE "RRC State Indicator" set to "CELL_PCH". After receiving this message, the UE returns to CELL_PCH state without transmitting any uplink message. SS calls for generic procedure C.4 to check that UE is in CELL_PCH 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.

Test Procedure

The UE is in the CELL_DCH state and has a radio bearer mapped on E-DCH and HS-DSCH established with active E-DCH transmission and HS-DSCH reception.

The SS transmits a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message, which invokes the UE to transit from CELL_DCH to URA_PCH. The UE transmits a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message using AM RLC and enters URA_PCH state.

The SS transmits a PAGING TYPE 1 message. The UE then enters the CELL_FACH state to transmit a CELL UPDATE message to the SS on the uplink CCCH with the IE “Cell update cause" set to value “Paging response” in response to the paging.

The SS transmits CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message which includes HS-PDSCH and E-DPDCH for FDD or E-PUCH for 1.28 Mcps TDD physical channel parameters on the downlink DCCH. Then the UE resumes E-DCH transmission and HS-DSCH reception, and transmit a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH.

Test Procedure

The UE is in the CELL_DCH state and has a radio bearer mapped on E-DCH and HS-DSCH established with active E-DCH transmission and HS-DSCH reception at one secondary frequency of the cell.

The SS transmits a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message, which invokes the UE to transit from CELL_DCH to URA_PCH. The UE transmits a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message using AM RLC and enters URA_PCH state.

The SS transmits a PAGING TYPE 1 message. The UE then enters the CELL_FACH state to transmit a CELL UPDATE message to the SS on the uplink CCCH with the IE “Cell update cause" set to value “Paging response” in response to the paging.

The SS transmits CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message which includes HS-PDSCH and E-PUCH physical channel parameters on the downlink DCCH. Then the UE resumes E-DCH transmission and HS-DSCH reception, and transmit a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH.

8.3.1.42.3 Test purpose

To confirm that the UE enters the CELL_DCH state after it receives a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message with a physical channel configuration causing it to start E-DCH transmission and HS-DSCH reception on a different cell and frequency.

To confirm that the UE enters CELL_PCH state on another frequency and stops E-DCH transmission and HS-DSCH reception when it receives a RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION message.

8.3.1.42.4 Method of test

Initial Condition

System Simulator: 2 cells – cell 1 is active and cell 6 is inactive.

UE: PS-DCCH +DTCH_HS-DSCH +DTCH_E-DCH (state 6-18) under condition A13 for FDD or A12 for 1.28 Mcps TDD as specified in clause 7.4 of TS 34.108.

Table 8.3.1.42 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

The SS has configured its downlink transmission power setting according to columns "T0" in table 8.3.1.42. UE is in state 6-18 as specified in TS34.108 clause 7.4 in cell 1and has a radio bearer established mapped on E-DCH and HS-DSCH established with active E-DCH transmission and HS-DSCH reception.

The SS switches its downlink transmission power settings to columns "T1". The SS transmits a RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION message, which invokes the UE to transit from CELL_DCH to CELL_PCH in cell 6. The UE transmits a RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message using AM RLC, selects cell 6 and enters CELL_PCH state.

The SS transmits a PAGING TYPE 1 message. The UE then enters the CELL_FACH state to transmit a CELL UPDATE message to the SS on the uplink CCCH with the IE “Cell update cause" set to value “Paging response” in response to the paging.

The SS switches its downlink transmission power settings to columns "T2". The SS transmits CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message, which invokes UE to re-map the SRB’s & the PS RAB on E-DCH/HS-DSCH for cell 1. Then the UE establishes HS-DSCH and E-DCH in cell 1, and resumes E-DCH transmission and transmit a RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH in cell 1.

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.

8.3.1.42b.3 Test purpose

To confirm that the UE enters the CELL_DCH state after it receives a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message with a physical channel configuration causing it to start E-DCH transmission and HS-DSCH reception on a different cell and frequency in the multi-frequency network environment.

To confirm that the UE enters CELL_PCH state on another frequency and stops E-DCH transmission and HS-DSCH reception when it receives a RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION message in the multi-frequency network environment.

8.3.1.42b.4 Method of test

Initial Condition

System Simulator:

2 cells

-cell 1 is active, 3 frequency (one is primary frequency, others are secondary frequency)

– cell 6 is inactive, 1 frequency.

UE: PS-DCCH +DTCH_HS-DSCH +DTCH_E-DCH (state 6-18) under condition A12 for 1.28 Mcps TDD as specified in clause 7.4 of TS 34.108.

Table 8.3.1.42b illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

The SS has configured its downlink transmission power setting according to columns "T0" in table 8.3.1.42b. UE is in state 6-18 as specified in TS34.108 clause 7.4 in cell 1and has a radio bearer established mapped on E-DCH and HS-DSCH established with active E-DCH transmission and HS-DSCH reception at one secondary frequency.

The SS switches its downlink transmission power settings to columns "T1". The SS transmits a RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION message, which invokes the UE to transit from CELL_DCH to CELL_PCH in cell 6. The UE transmits a RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message using AM RLC, selects cell 6 and enters CELL_PCH state.

The SS transmits a PAGING TYPE 1 message. The UE then enters the CELL_FACH state to transmit a CELL UPDATE message to the SS on the uplink CCCH with the IE “Cell update cause" set to value “Paging response” in response to the paging.

The SS switches its downlink transmission power settings to columns "T2". The SS transmits CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message, which invokes UE to re-map the SRB’s & the PS RAB on E-DCH/HS-DSCH for cell 1. Then the UE establishes HS-DSCH and E-DCH at one secondary frequency in cell 1, and resumes E-DCH transmission and transmit a RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH in cell 1.

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.

8.3.1.42b.5 Test requirement

After step 2, the UE shall transmit a RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

After step 5, the UE shall transmit a CELL UPDATE message on the uplink CCCH.

After step 8, the UE shall transmit a RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC in cell 1.

8.3.1.43 Cell Update: Radio Link Failure, with active E-DCH transmission

8.3.1.43.1 Definition

All UEs which support FDD or TDD and HS-PDSCH and E-DPDCH for FDD or E-PUCH for TDD, and fully support F-DPCH (FDD only).

8.3.1.43.2 Conformance requirement

1> Radio link failure:

3> if the UE is in CELL_DCH state and the criteria for radio link failure are met as specified in subclause 8.5.6 of TS 25.331; or

4> perform cell update using the cause "radio link failure".

When initiating the URA update or cell update procedure, the UE shall:

1> if any IEs related to HS-DSCH are stored in the UE:

2> clear any stored IE "Downlink HS-PDSCH information";

2> determine the value for the HS_DSCH_RECEPTION variable and take the corresponding actions as described in subclause 8.5.25.

1> if any IEs related to E-DCH are stored in the UE:

2> clear any stored IE "E-DCH info";

2> determine the value for the E_DCH_TRANSMISSION variable and take the corresponding actions as described in subclause 8.5.28.

In CELL_DCH State, after receiving N313 consecutive "out of sync" indications from layer 1 for the established DPCCH or F-DPCH physical channel in FDD, and the physical channels associated with mapped DCCHs in TDD, the UE shall:

1> start timer T313;

1> upon receiving N315 successive "in sync" indications from layer 1 and upon change of UE state:

2> stop and reset timer T313.

1> if T313 expires:

2> consider it as a "Radio link failure".

Periods in time where neither "in sync" nor "out of sync" is reported by layer 1 do not affect the evaluation of the number of consecutive (resp. successive) "in sync" or "out of sync" indications.

When a radio link failure occurs, the UE shall:

1> clear the dedicated physical channel configuration;

1> perform actions as specified for the ongoing procedure;

1> if no procedure is ongoing or no actions are specified for the ongoing procedure:

2> perform a cell update procedure according to subclause 8.3.1 using the cause "radio link failure".

Reference

3GPP TS 25.331 clauses 8.3.1.2, 8.5.6.

8.3.1.43.3 Test purpose

1. To confirm that the UE detects the radio link failure condition when the F-DPCH physical channel is established (FDD only).

2. To confirm that the UE stops the E-DCH transmission and performs a Cell Update procedure after radio link failure.

3. To confirm that the UE keeps the radio bearer mapping option and transport channel configuration for E-DCH after the radio link failure. To confirm that the UE resumes the E-DCH transmission after the Cell Update procedure.

8.3.1.43.4 Method of test

Initial Condition

System Simulator: 1 cell – Cell 1

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

– UE supports FDD or 1.28 Mcps TDD

– UE supports HS-PDSCH

– UE supports E-DPDCH for FDD or E-PUCH for 1.28 Mcps TDD

Table 8.3.1.43 illustrates the downlink power to be applied to Cell 1 at various time instants of the test execution. Column marked "T0" denote the initial conditions.

The UE is in CELL_DCH state and only signalling radio bearers have been established. The SS initiates P26 to make the UE move to state 6-18 as specified in TS 34.108 clause 7.4. The UE is now in the CELL_DCH state and has radio bearers mapped on E-DCH and HS-DSCH established with active E-DCH transmission and HS-DSCH reception.
The SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to column “T1” in table 8.3.1.43. After expiry of timer T313, the UE shall detect a radio link failure in Cell 1.

The SS waits for 10s (see Note 1) and then configures its downlink transmission power settings according to column “T0” in table 8.3.1.43. The UE shall then enter CELL_FACH state and transmit a CELL UPDATE message on the uplink CCCH in Cell 1.
The SS transmits a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message, which requests the UE to transit to CELL_DCH state and provides the physical channel configuration to resume the interrupted radio bearer mapped on E-DCH / HS-DSCH.
The UE sets up the physical channels associated to E-DCH / HS-DSCH, enters CELL_DCH state and sends a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message.

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

NOTE 1: The 10s delay guarantees the expiry of timer T313 (default value = 3s) and the non-expiry of timer T315 (default value = 180s).

Table 8.3.1.44 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

The SS has configured its downlink transmission power setting according to columns "T0" in table 8.3.1.44. UE is in state 6-18 under condition A20 as specified in TS34.108 clause 7.4 in cell 1and has a radio bearer established mapped on E-DCH and HS-DSCH established with active E-DCH (DTX) transmission and HS-DSCH reception.

The SS switches its downlink transmission power settings to columns "T1". The SS transmits a RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION message, which invokes the UE to transit from CELL_DCH to CELL_PCH in cell 6. The UE transmits a RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message using AM RLC, selects cell 6 and enters CELL_PCH state.

The SS transmits a PAGING TYPE 1 message. The UE then enters the CELL_FACH state to transmit a CELL UPDATE message to the SS on the uplink CCCH with the IE “Cell update cause" set to value “Paging response” in response to the paging.

The SS switches its downlink transmission power settings to columns "T2". The SS transmits CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message, which invokes UE to re-map the SRB’s and the PS RAB on E-DCH/HS-DSCH for cell 1. Then the UE establishes HS-DSCH and E-DCH and configures UL DTX in cell 1, and resumes E-DCH transmission and transmit a RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH in cell 1.

The SS waits to allow sufficient time for DTX cycle 2 to be active, and CQI DTX Timer to expire, and then verifies that the time between 11 consecutive CQI indications is 320ms for 2ms TTI and 400ms for 10ms TTI.

8.3.1.45 Cell Update: Radio Link Failure, with active discontinuous uplink transmission

8.3.1.45.1 Definition

All UEs which support FDD and UL DTX.

8.3.1.45.2 Conformance requirement

1> Radio link failure:

3> if the UE is in CELL_DCH state and the criteria for radio link failure are met as specified in subclause 8.5.6 of TS 25.331; or

4> perform cell update using the cause "radio link failure".

When initiating the URA update or cell update procedure, the UE shall:

1> if any IEs related to HS-DSCH are stored in the UE:

2> clear any stored IE "Downlink HS-PDSCH information";

2> determine the value for the HS_DSCH_RECEPTION variable and take the corresponding actions as described in subclause 8.5.25.

1> if any IEs related to E-DCH are stored in the UE:

2> clear any stored IE "E-DCH info";

  1. determine the value for the E_DCH_TRANSMISSION variable and take the corresponding actions as described in subclause 8.5.28.

1> if any of the IEs "DTX-DRX timing information" or "DTX-DRX information" are stored in the UE:

2> determine the value for the DTX_DRX_STATUS variable and take the corresponding actions as described in subclause 8.5.34.

1> if the IE "HS-SCCH less information" is stored in the UE:

2> determine the value for the HS_SCCH_LESS_STATUS variable and take the corresponding actions as described in subclause 8.5.35.

In CELL_DCH State, after receiving N313 consecutive "out of sync" indications from layer 1 for the established DPCCH or F-DPCH physical channel in FDD, and the physical channels associated with mapped DCCHs in TDD, the UE shall:

1> start timer T313;

1> upon receiving N315 successive "in sync" indications from layer 1 and upon change of UE state:

2> stop and reset timer T313.

1> if T313 expires:

2> consider it as a "Radio link failure".

Periods in time where neither "in sync" nor "out of sync" is reported by layer 1 do not affect the evaluation of the number of consecutive (resp. successive) "in sync" or "out of sync" indications.

When a radio link failure occurs, the UE shall:

1> clear the dedicated physical channel configuration;

1> perform actions as specified for the ongoing procedure;

1> if no procedure is ongoing or no actions are specified for the ongoing procedure:

2> perform a cell update procedure according to subclause 8.3.1 using the cause "radio link failure".

Reference

3GPP TS 25.331 clauses 8.3.1.2, 8.5.6.

8.3.1.45.3 Test purpose

1. To confirm that the UE stops the E-DCH transmission with DTX and performs a Cell Update procedure after radio link failure.

2. To confirm that the UE keeps the radio bearer mapping option and transport channel configuration for E-DCH after the radio link failure. To confirm that the UE resumes the E-DCH transmission and configures UL DTX after the Cell Update procedure.

8.3.1.45.4 Method of test

Initial Condition

System Simulator: 1 cell – Cell 1

UE: PS-DCCH_DCH (state 6-7) with SRBs mapped to E-DCH/HS-DSCH as specified in clause 7.4 of TS 34.108.

Table 8.3.1.45 illustrates the downlink power to be applied to Cell 1 at various time instants of the test execution. Column marked "T0" denote the initial conditions.

The UE is in CELL_DCH state and only signalling radio bearers have been established. The SS initiates P26 to make the UE move to state 6-18 as specified in TS 34.108 clause 7.4. The UE is now in the CELL_DCH state and has radio bearers mapped on E-DCH and HS-DSCH established with active E-DCH (DTX) transmission and HS-DSCH reception.

The SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to column “T1” in table 8.3.1.45. After expiry of timer T313, the UE shall detect a radio link failure in Cell 1.

The SS waits for 15s (see Note 1) and then configures its downlink transmission power settings according to column “T0” in table 8.3.1.45. The UE shall then enter CELL_FACH state and transmit a CELL UPDATE message on the uplink CCCH in Cell 1.

The SS transmits a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message, which requests the UE to transit to CELL_DCH state and provides the physical channel configuration to resume the interrupted radio bearer mapped on E-DCH / HS-DSCH and configures UL DTX.

The UE sets up the physical channels associated to E-DCH / HS-DSCH, enters CELL_DCH state and sends a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message.

The SS waits to allow sufficient time for DTX cycle 2 to be active, and CQI DTX Timer to expire, and then verifies that the time between 11 consecutive CQI indications is 400ms.

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

NOTE 1: The 15s delay guarantees the expiry of timer T313 (default value = 3s) and the non-expiry of timer T315 (default value = 180s).

8.3.1.46.3 Test purpose

To confirm that the UE enters the CELL_DCH state after it receives a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message with a physical channel configuration causing it to start E-DCH transmission, HS_DSCH reception and configures UL DTX.

To confirm that the UE executes a cell update procedure when the UE transmits uplink data if the UE is in URA_PCH state.

8.3.1.46.4 Method of test

Initial Condition

System Simulator: 1 cell.

SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 1 (see specific message contents)

UE: PS-DCCH +DTCH_HS-DSCH +DTCH_E-DCH (state 6-18) under condition A20 as specified in clause 7.4 of TS 34.108.

Related ICS/IXIT statement(s)

– UE supports FDD

– UE supports discontinuous uplink transmission.

Test Procedure

The UE is in the CELL_DCH state and has a radio bearer mapped on E-DCH and HS-DSCH established with active E-DCH transmission and HS-DSCH reception. E-DCH transmission Time Interval is set to 10ms.

The SS transmits a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message, which invokes the UE to transit from CELL_DCH to URA_PCH. The UE transmits a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message using AM RLC and enters URA_PCH state.

The SS transmits a PAGING TYPE 1 message. The UE then enters the CELL_FACH state to transmit a CELL UPDATE message to the SS on the uplink CCCH with the IE “Cell update cause” set to value “Paging response” in response to the paging.

The SS transmits CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message, which includes HS-PDSCH and E-DPDCH physical channel parameters on the downlink DCCH with UL DTX. Then the UE resumes E-DCH transmission and HS-DSCH reception, and transmit a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH.

The SS waits to allow sufficient time for DTX cycle 2 to be active, and CQI DTX Timer to expire, and then verifies that the time between 11 consecutive CQI indications is 400ms. Expected sequence

Table 8.3.1.47 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

The SS has configured its downlink transmission power according to column “T0” in table 8.3.1.47. UE is in state 6-11 in cell 1 as specified in clause 7.4 of TS 34.108 and has a radio bearer established mapped on RACH and FACH.

The SS transmits updated SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE5/5bis message which includes HS-DSCH reception in cell FACH state. The SS switches its downlink transmission power settings to column “T1”.

UE finds cell 6 as a better cell and reselects to Cell 6. The UE transmits CELL UPDATE message on uplink CCCH of cell 6 with the IE “Cell update cause” set to “cell reselection”. The SS then transmits a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM which includes the IE RRC State Indicator" set to "CELL_FACH", but with unmatched UE Id in MAC-c header, to the UE on the downlink DCCH. The UE does not respond to this. After expiry of T302 the UE shall transmit another CELL UPDATE. The SS then transmits a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM which includes the IE RRC State Indicator" set to "CELL_FACH", but this time with matched UE Id in MAC-c header, to the UE on the downlink DCCH. Then UE shall respond by transmitting a RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH.

The SS switches its downlink transmission power settings to column “T0”. UE finds cell 1 as a better cell for service and reselects to Cell 1.

The UE transmits CELL UPDATE message on uplink CCCH of cell 1 with the IE “Cell update cause” set to “cell reselection”. The SS then transmits a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM which includes the IE RRC State Indicator" set to "CELL_FACH", to the UE on the downlink DCCH. Then UE shall transmit an UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message on the uplink DCCH.

8.3.1.47.5 Test requirements

At step 3 the UE shall reselect to cell 6 and then it shall transmit a CELL UPDATE message which sets the value "cell reselection" in IE "Cell update cause" and “HS-PDSCH in CELL_FACH” set to TRUE.

At step 5 the UE shall not respond to the CELL UPDATE CONFIRM in step 4. The UE will instead transmit CELL UPDATE after expiry of T302.

At step 7 the UE shall transmit UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM on UL using the PRACH physical resource.

At step 9 the UE shall reselect to cell 1 and then it shall transmit a CELL UPDATE message which sets the value "cell reselection" in IE "Cell update cause" and “HS-PDSCH in CELL_FACH” set to TRUE.

8.3.1.48 Cell Update: Radio Link Failure, UM RLC Re-establishment

8.3.1.48.1 Definition

All UEs which support CS over HSPA.

8.3.1.48.2 Conformance requirement

The cell update procedure may also include:

– a re-establish of AM RLC entities;

– a re-establish of UM RLC entities;

– a radio bearer release, radio bearer reconfiguration, transport channel reconfiguration or physical channel reconfiguration.

A UE shall initiate the cell update procedure in the following cases:

1> Radio link failure:

2> if none of the criteria for performing cell update with the causes specified above in the current subclause is met:

3> if the UE is in CELL_DCH state and the criteria for radio link failure are met as specified in subclause 8.5.6; or

3> if the transmission of the UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message fails as specified in subclause 8.1.6.6; or

3> if the UE detects PDCP Unrecoverable Error [36] in a PDCP entity::

4> perform cell update using the cause "radio link failure".

The UE RRC shall submit the UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message to the lower layers for transmission on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC. When the message has been delivered to lower layers for transmission the UE RRC shall start timer T304 and set counter V304 to 1.

T304 timeout

Upon expiry of timer T304, the UE shall check the value of V304 and:

1>  if V304 is smaller than or equal to N304:

2>  prior to retransmitting the UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message:

3>  if the IE "Status" in the variable INTEGRITY_PROTECTION_INFO has the value "Started":

4>  include the same IEs as in the last unsuccessful attempt of this message, except for the IE "Integrity check info", which is set as specified in subclause 8.5.10.

3>  else:

4>  include the same IEs as in the last unsuccessful attempt of this message.

2>  send the UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message on signalling radio bearer RB2;

2>  restart timer T304;

2>  increment counter V304.

1>  if V304 is greater than N304:

2>  initiate the Cell update procedure as specified in subclause 8.3.1, using the cause "Radio link failure".

When the UTRAN receives a CELL UPDATE/URA UPDATE message, the UTRAN should:

1> in case the procedure was triggered by reception of a CELL UPDATE:

1> if the radio bearer is connected to a CS domain radio access bearer and the radio bearer uses UM RLC:

2> the UM RLC entity should be re-established in UTRAN.

When the UE receives a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM/URA UPDATE CONFIRM message; and

– if the message is received on the CCCH, and IE "U-RNTI" is present and has the same value as the variable U_RNTI; or

– if the message is received on DCCH:

the UE may:

1> maintain a list of the set of cells to which the UE has Radio Links if the IE "Cell ID" is present.

the UE shall:

1> stop timer T302;

1> if the received CELL UPDATE CONFIRM or URA UPDATE CONFIRM message included the IE "Downlink counter synchronisation info":

2> if the variable PDCP_SN_INFO is empty:

3> configure the corresponding RLC entity for all AM and UM radio bearers and AM and UM signalling radio bearers except RB2 to "stop".

2> else:

3> configure the RLC entity for signalling radio bearers RB1, RB3 and RB4 to "stop";

3> configure the RLC entity for UM and AM radio bearers for which the IE "PDCP SN Info" is not included to "stop".

2> re-establish the RLC entity for RB2;

2> clear all entries in the table "Processed transactions" in the variable TRANSACTIONS;

2> for the downlink and the uplink, apply the ciphering configuration as follows:

3> if the received re-configuration message included the IE "Ciphering Mode Info":

4> use the ciphering configuration in the received message when transmitting the response message.

3> if the ciphering configuration for RB2 from a previously received SECURITY MODE COMMAND has not yet been applied because the activation times not having been reached:

4> if the previous SECURITY MODE COMMAND was received due to new keys being received:

5> consider the new ciphering configuration to include the received new keys;

5> initialise the HFN component of the uplink COUNT-C and downlink COUNT-C of SRB2 as indicated in subclause 8.1.12.3.1.

4> else if the ciphering configuration for RB2 from a previously received SECURITY MODE COMMAND has not yet been applied because of the corresponding activation times not having been reached and the previous SECURITY MODE COMMAND caused a change in LATEST_CONFIGURED_CN_DOMAIN:

5> consider the new ciphering configuration to include the keys associated with the LATEST_CONFIGURED_CN_DOMAIN;

5> initialise the HFN component of the uplink COUNT-C and downlink COUNT-C of SRB2 to the most recently transmitted IE "START list" or IE "START" for the LATEST_CONFIGURED_CN_DOMAIN at the reception of the previous SECURITY MODE COMMAND.

4> apply the new ciphering configuration immediately following RLC re-establishment.

3> else:

4> continue using the current ciphering configuration.

2> set the new uplink and downlink HFN component of the COUNT-C of RB2 to MAX(uplink HFN component of the COUNT-C of RB2, downlink HFN component of the COUNT-C of RB2);

2> increment by one the downlink and uplink values of the HFN component of the COUNT-C for RB2;

2> calculate the START value according to subclause 8.5.9;

2> include the calculated START values for each CN domain in the IE "START list" in the IE "Uplink counter synchronisation info" in any response message transmitted below.

1> else if the radio bearer is connected to a CS domain radio access bearer and the radio bearer uses UM RLC:

2> re-establish the UM RLC entity;

2> if the value of the IE "Status" in the variable CIPHERING_STATUS of the CN domain as indicated in the IE "CN domain identity" in the IE "RAB info" in the variable ESTABLISHED_RABS is set to "Started":

3> set the HFN component of the respective COUNT-C values for the UM RLC entity equal to the START value included in this CELL UPDATE message for the CN domain as indicated in the IE "CN domain identity" in the IE "RAB info" in the variable ESTABLISHED_RABS;

3> set the remaining bits of the HFN component of the COUNT-C values of the UM RLC entity to zero.

For 1.28 Mcps TDD, when the variable E_DCH_TRANSMISSION is set to TRUE (see subclause 8.5.28) and the UE has stored the IE "E-RUCCH info", a "Radio link failure" shall be triggered as below:

1> if the E-RUCCH transmission counter is added greater than N_RUCCH, another hysteresis Timer with the value of N-RUCCH times of T-RUCCH period shall be started:

2> upon the hysteresis Timer expires and still no Grant has been received for the whole time duration since the last E-RUCCH transmission:

3> consider it as a "Radio link failure", refer to [59].

For FDD in CELL_DCH state and in TDD when a radio link failure occurs, the UE shall:

1> clear the dedicated physical channel configuration;

1> perform actions as specified for the ongoing procedure;

1> if no procedure is ongoing or no actions are specified for the ongoing procedure:

2> perform a cell update procedure according to subclause 8.3.1 using the cause "radio link failure".

For FDD, in CELL_FACH state and Idle mode, in conjunction with the Enhanced Uplink in CELL_FACH state, after receiving an indication from layer 1 that physical layer transmission stopped caused by an DL out-of-synchronisation, the UE shall:

1> consider it as a "Radio link failure".

8.3.1.48.3 Test purpose

1. To confirm that UE performs UM RLC re-establishment on CS over HSPA RAB following CELL UPDATE with cause "radio link failure".

8.3.1.48.4 Method of test

Initial Condition

System Simulator: 1 cell – Cell 1

UE is in Idle mode (state 2 or state 7) as specified in clause 7.4 of TS 34.108.

Related ICS/IXIT statement(s)

– UE supports FDD

Test Procedure

The SS setups a circuit switched session including radio bearer and UE test loop mode 1 in RLC UM using Common test procedures for mobile terminated CS switched sessions. Usage of "PDCP AMR Data" PDU has been configured by higher layers.

The SS sends valid AMR data packets.

The received data shall be looped back by the UE via its PDCP configuration using PDCP AMR Data PDU.

The SS transmits UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY and UE responds with UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION and starts timer T304 to wait for UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM from SS. SS does not transmit  UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message which cause UE to re-transmit UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message after T304 expiry. After N304 + 1 transmissions, the UE triggers CELL UPADTE message on the uplink CCCH.

The SS transmits a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message, which requests the UE to transit to CELL_DCH state and provides the physical channel configuration to resume the interrupted CS radio bearer mapped on E-DCH / HS-DSCH.

The UE sets up the physical channels associated to E-DCH / HS-DSCH, enters CELL_DCH state and sends a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message.

The SS sends valid AMR data packet.

The received data shall be looped back by the UE via its PDCP configuration using PDCP AMR Data PDU. SS verifies the content of the AMR data is the same as originally transmitted.

1> the UE shall receive HS-DSCH during the frame(s) with the SFN value fulfilling the following inequality:

(SFN  H-RNTI) mod DRX_cycle < Rx_burst

where:

– H-RNTI is the value stored in the variable H_RNTI;

– DRX_cycle is the length of the DRX cycle in radio frames, signalled by the IE "HS-DSCH DRX cycleFACH";

– Rx burst is the period in frames within the DRX cycle, in which the UE receives HS-DSCH, signalled by the IE "HS-DSCH Rx burstFACH".

For FDD when in CELL_FACH state, when the variable HS_DSCH_RECEPTION_CELL_FACH_STATE is set to TRUE and the variable HS_DSCH_DRX_CELL_FACH_STATUS is set to TRUE,
then the UE in FDD mode shall perform measurements as specified in subclauses 8.4.1.6 and 8.4.1.9, according to the requirements in [19].

The UE may omit the inter-frequency and inter-RAT measurements specified according to the requirements in [19] in subclauses 8.4.1.6 and 8.4.1.9, when the variable HS_DSCH_RECEPTION_OF_ETWS_ENABLED is TRUE.

3> if the UE is in CELL_FACH state and the variable C_RNTI is empty:

4> perform cell update using the cause "cell reselection".

[…]

If the UE after state transition remains in CELL_FACH state, it shall

1> start the timer T305 using its initial value if timer T305 is not running and periodical cell update has been configured by T305 in the IE "UE Timers and constants in connected mode" set to any other value than "infinity";

1> select PRACH according to TS 25.331 subclause 8.5.17;

1> select Secondary CCPCH according to TS 25.331 subclause 8.5.19;

1> not prohibit periodical status transmission in RLC;

1> if the IE "UTRAN DRX cycle length coefficient" is included in the same message:

  1. ignore that IE and stop using DRX.

[…]

If the CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message:

– does not include the IE "RB information to release list"; and

– includes the IE "RB information to reconfigure list"; or

– includes the IE "RB information to be affected list":

the UE shall:

1> transmit a RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE as response message using AM RLC.

Table 8.3.1.49b illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution. Columns marked "T0" denote the initial conditions.

The UE is in Enhanced CELL_FACH state (SRB mapping on common E-DCH/HS-DSCH) state with Enhanced DRX and second DRX cycle with 2-level DRX configured and camped onto cell 1. SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in Table 8.3.1.49b. The UE shall find Cell 2 to be more suitable for service and perform a cell reselection. After the completion of cell reselection, the UE shall transmit a CELL UPDATE message to the SS on the uplink CCCH of cell 2 using common E-DCH and set IE "Cell update cause" to "Cell Reselection". After the SS receives this message, it transmits a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message, which includes the IE "RRC State Indicator" set to "CELL_FACH" with valid "New C-RNTI", "New H-RNTI" and "New Primary E-RNTI"  to the UE on the downlink DCCH. SS verifies that the UE sends UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM. Finally CALL C.2 procedure is executed to check that UE is in Enhanced CELL_FACH state.

8.3.1.50 Cell Update: Cell reselection in CELL_FACH when common E-DCH resource is released

8.3.1.50.1 Definition and applicability

UE supports FDD and Enhanced Uplink in CELL_FACH state.

8.3.1.50.2 Conformance requirement

In all cases, the UE shall reselect the new cell, only if the following conditions are met:

– the new cell is better ranked than the serving cell during the preceding time interval Treselection. For UE in RRC connected mode states CELL_PCH or URA_PCH the interval Treselections,PCH applies, if provided in SIB4 [see 4], while for UE in RRC connected mode state CELL_FACH the interval Treselections,FACH applies, if provided in SIB4 [see 4]. For hierarchical cell structures when high-mobility state has not been detected, if according to the HCS rules the serving cell is not ranked then all the ranked cells are considered to be better ranked than the serving cell. In case the UE reselects to a cell on an MBMS preferred frequency to receive an MBMS service not available on the current frequency the UE may reduce interval TreselectionS, TreselectionS, PCH and TreselectionS, FACH.

Additionally the UE shall apply the following scaling rules to Treselections or Treselections,PCH or Treselections,FACH:

– For intra-frequency cells and high-mobility state not detected:

– no scaling applied.

– For intra-frequency cells and high-mobility state is detected:

– multiply Treselections or Treselections,PCH or Treselections,FACH by the IE "Speed dependent ScalingFactor for_Treselection" if sent on system information.

– For inter-frequency cells and high-mobility state not detected:

– multiply Treselections or Treselections,PCH or Treselections,FACH by the IE "Inter-Frequency ScalingFactor for Treselection" if sent on system information.

– For inter-frequency cells and high-mobility state is detected:

– multiply Treselections or Treselections,PCH or Treselections,FACH by both the IEs "Speed dependent ScalingFactor for_Treselection" if sent on system information and "Inter-Frequency ScalingFactor for Treselection" if sent on system information.

– For inter-RAT cells and high-mobility state not detected:

– multiply Treselections or Treselections,PCH or Treselections,FACH by the IE "Inter-RAT ScalingFactor for Treselection" if sent on system information.

– For inter-RAT cells and high-mobility state is detected:

– multiply Treselections or Treselections,PCH or Treselections,FACH by both the IEs “Speed dependent ScalingFactor for_Treselection” if sent on system information and “Inter-RAT ScalingFactor for Treselection" if sent on system information.

In case scaling is applied to Treselections or Treselections,PCH, the UE shall round up the result after all scalings to the nearest second. In case scaling is applied to Treselections,FACH, the UE shall round up the result after all scalings to the nearest 0.2 seconds.

– more than 1 second has elapsed since the UE camped on the current serving cell.

– For FDD the UE does not have an allocated common E-DCH resource.

– For 1.28 Mcps TDD, the UE does not have CELL Reselection Indication procedure ongoing.

For FDD the UE continues taking intra-frequency measurements and ranking cells while it has an allocated common E-DCH resource.

Table 8.3.1.51 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

The SS has configured its downlink transmission power according to column “T0” in table 8.3.1.51. UE is in state 6-11 in cell 1 as specified in clause 7.4 of TS 34.108 and has a radio bearer established mapped on RACH and FACH.

The SS switches its downlink transmission power settings to column “T1”. The SS transmits updated SYSTEM INFORMATION TYPE5/5bis message which includes HS-DSCH and common E-DCH reception in cell FACH state.

UE finds cell 6 as a better cell and reselects to Cell 6. The UE transmits CELL UPDATE message on uplink CCCH of cell 6 with the IE “Cell update cause” set to “cell reselection”. The SS then transmits a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM which includes the IE RRC State Indicator" set to "CELL_FACH", but with unmatched UE Id in MAC-c header, to the UE on the downlink DCCH. The UE does not respond to this. After expiry of T302 the UE shall transmit another CELL UPDATE. The SS then transmits a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM which includes the IE RRC State Indicator" set to "CELL_FACH", but this time with matched UE Id in MAC-c header, to the UE on the downlink DCCH. Then UE shall respond by transmitting a RADIO BEARER RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH.

The SS switches its downlink transmission power settings to column “T0”. UE finds cell 1 as a better cell for service and reselects to Cell 1.

The UE transmits CELL UPDATE message on uplink CCCH of cell 1 with the IE “Cell update cause” set to “cell reselection”. The SS then transmits a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM which includes the IE RRC State Indicator" set to "CELL_FACH", to the UE on the downlink DCCH. Then UE shall transmit an UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message on the uplink DCCH.

The SS checks that the UE is in Cell FACH state.

8.3.1.51.5 Test requirements

At step 3 the UE shall reselect to cell 6 and then it shall transmit a CELL UPDATE message which sets the value "cell reselection" in IE "Cell update cause" and “HS-PDSCH in CELL_FACH” and “Support of common E-DCH” set to TRUE.

At step 5 the UE shall not respond to the CELL UPDATE CONFIRM in step 4. The UE will instead transmit CELL UPDATE after expiry of T302.

At step 7 the UE shall transmit UTRAN MOBILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM on UL using the PRACH physical resource.

At step 9 the UE shall reselect to cell 1 and then it shall transmit a CELL UPDATE message which sets the value "cell reselection" in IE "Cell update cause" and “HS-PDSCH in CELL_FACH” and “Support of common E-DCH” set to TRUE.

8.3.1.52 Cell Update: Inter Frequency cell reselection in CELL_FACH based on absolute priority

8.3.1.52.1 Definition and applicability

All UEs which support UTRA FDD, EUTRA and Rel 8 absolute priority cell reselection for high priority layers in CELL_FACH.

8.3.1.52.2 Conformance requirement

5.2.6.1.2a Measurement rules for inter-frequency and inter-RAT cell reselection when absolute priorities are used

The measurement rules below apply in Idle, URA_PCH, CELL_PCH states. In CELL_FACH state, if (High Priority Layers is indicated in CELL_FACH Absolute Priority Measurement Indicator [4] and SrxlevServingCell > Sprioritysearch1 and SqualServingCell > Sprioritysearch2) or (All Layers is indicated in CELL_FACH Absolute Priority Measurement Indicator [4]) then the measurement rules below apply, otherwise the measurement rules in 5.2.6.1.1 and 5.2.6.1.2 apply.

If the UE has received absolute priority information for inter-frequency layers, the UE shall follow these rules:

– The UE shall perform measurements of inter-frequency layers with a priority higher than the priority of the current serving layer.

NOTE: The rate of these measurements may vary depending on whether Srxlev and Squal of the serving cell are above or below Sprioritysearch1 and Sprioritysearch2. This is specified in [10].

– For inter-frequency layers with a priority equal or lower than the priority of the current serving layer:

– If SrxlevServingCell > Sprioritysearch1 and SqualServingCell > Sprioritysearch2 the UE may choose not to perform measurements of inter-frequency layers of equal or lower priority.

– If SrxlevServingCell <= Sprioritysearch1 or SqualServingCell <= Sprioritysearch2 the UE shall perform measurements of

inter-frequency layers of equal or lower priority.

– The UE shall not perform measurements of inter-frequency layers for which the UE has no absolute priority.

5.2.6.1.4a Absolute priority based criteria for inter-frequency and inter-RAT cell reselection

Absolute priorities of different absolute priority layers may be provided to the UE. The following cell reselection

criteria are used for inter-frequency cells if absolute priority information for inter-frequency is available to the UE, and

inter-RAT cells if absolute priority information for inter-RAT is available to the UE.

If System Information Block 18 with UTRAN information is provided then the UE shall apply the inter-frequency priority rules below only to UTRAN cells of the selected PLMN or equivalent PLMNs. If System Information Block 18 is not provided, or is provided but contains no information for UTRAN, then the rules below apply for the entire UTRAN RAT.

If priority information is provided for any inter-frequency layers, cells belonging to inter-frequency layers for which no priority or no threshold is assigned shall not be considered for reselection.

If none of the inter-frequency layers in UTRAN are provided with both priority and threshold parameters, the cell reselection criteria in subclause 5.2.6.1.4 shall apply for inter-frequency layers in UTRAN.

If both criteria in subclause 5.2.6.1.4 and criteria in subclause 5.2.6.1.4a are simultaneously fulfilled, the order in which the reselection criteria are evaluated is left to UE implementation.

The UE may apply either priorities broadcast in system information or priorities received through dedicated signalling.

The rules regarding which set of priorities shall apply are defined in [4]. UE specific priorities are only valid in the RPLMN, and shall be cleared when the validity time of the UE specific priorities expires, or when leaving the RPLMN.

UE specific priorities are not applied in camped on any cell state.

The following definitions apply for the layers for which Threshx,high2 or Threshx,low2 are not provided:

– Criterion 1: the SrxlevnonServingCell,x of a cell on an evaluated higher absolute priority layer is greater than Threshx,high during a time interval Treselection;

– Criterion 2: SrxlevServingCell < Threshserving,low or SqualServingCell < 0 and the SrxlevnonServingCell,x of a inter-frequency cell on an evaluated equal absolute priority layer is greater than Threshx,low during a time interval Treselection;

– Criterion 3: SrxlevServingCell < Threshserving,low or SqualServingCell < 0 and the SrxlevnonServingCell,x of a cell on an evaluated lower absolute priority layer is greater than Threshx,low during a time interval Treselection;

The following definitions apply for the layers for which both Threshx,high2 and Threshx,low2 are provided:

– Criterion 4: the SqualnonServingCell,x of a cell on an evaluated higher absolute priority layer is greater than Threshx,high2 during a time interval Treselection;

– Criterion 5: SqualServingCell < Threshserving,low2 and the SqualnonServingCell,x of a cell on an evaluated lower absolute priority layer is greater than Threshx,low2 during a time interval Treselection;

Cell reselection to a cell on a higher absolute priority layer than the camped frequency shall be performed if criterion 1 or 4 is fulfilled.

Cell reselection to an inter-frequency cell on an equal absolute priority layer to the camped frequency shall be performed if criterion 2 is fulfilled.

Cell reselection to a cell on a lower absolute priority layer than the camped frequency shall be performed if criterion 3 or 5 is fulfilled.

If more than one cell meets the above criteria, the UE shall reselect the cell with the highest SrxlevnonServingCell,x among the cells meeting the criteria on the highest absolute priority layer.

The UE shall not perform cell reselection to cells for which the cell selection criterion S is not fulfilled.

The UE shall not perform cell reselection until more than 1 second has elapsed since the UE camped on the current serving cell.

The UE should not perform cell reselection while the UE has an allocated common E-DCH resource.

For UE in RRC connected mode states CELL_PCH or URA_PCH the interval Treselections,PCH applies, if provided in SIB4 (see [4]), while for UE in RRC connected mode state CELL_FACH the interval Treselections,FACH applies, if provided in SIB4 (see [4]).

In all the above criteria the values of Treselections, Treselections,PCH or Treselections,FACH apply for Treselection and are scaled according to the UE mobility state and target RAT, as specified in 5.2.6.1.1a.

8.6.7.3a UTRA priority info list

During T1, UE does not perform cell reselection to High priority cell 4.

During T2, UE performs cell reselection to High priority cell 4.

SS transmits MIB with the "MIB Value Tag" IE different from the original setting and the SIB TYPE 19 with cell 4 as the higher priority cell and cell 1 as the lower priority cell (See specific message contents). SS notifies the UE by sending a SYSTEM INFORMATION CHANGE INDICATION with the BCCH modification. SS waits for 5s to ensure UE reads all the SIB information.

SS configures downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in the table 8.3.1.x. UE does not reselect to higher priority cell 4 as power levels of cell 4 do not meet the absolute priority cell reselection criteria defined in SIB TYPE 19. UE should not be sending a CELL UPDATE in this case on cell 4.

SS configures the downlink transmission power settings according to columns “T2” from table 8.3.1.x. UE performs cell reselection to higher priority cell 4 as power levels of cell 4 now meet the absolute priority cell reselection criteria defined in SIB TYPE 19. UE sends a CELL UPDATE with cause: cell reselection. SS responds with CELL UPDATE CONFIRM. SS releases the RRC connection.

8.3.1.52.5 Test requirements

1. At step 4, UE does not perform cell reselection to high priority cell 4, as cell reselection criterion is not satisfied.

2. At step 6, UE reselects to higher priority cell 4, as cell reselection criteria matches and sends a CELL UPDATE with cause: cell reselection.

8.3.1.53 Cell Update: Absolute priority based cell reselection failure to inter-frequency cell for which no priority or no threshold is assigned

8.3.1.53.1 Definition and applicability

All UEs which support UTRA FDD, EUTRA and Rel 8 absolute priority cell reselection for high priority layers in CELL_FACH.

8.3.1.53.2 Conformance requirement

5.2.6.1.2a Measurement rules for inter-frequency and inter-RAT cell reselection when absolute priorities are used

The measurement rules below apply in Idle, URA_PCH, CELL_PCH states. In CELL_FACH state, if (High Priority Layers is indicated in CELL_FACH Absolute Priority Measurement Indicator [4] and SrxlevServingCell > Sprioritysearch1 and SqualServingCell > Sprioritysearch2) or (All Layers is indicated in CELL_FACH Absolute Priority Measurement Indicator [4]) then the measurement rules below apply, otherwise the measurement rules in 5.2.6.1.1 and 5.2.6.1.2 apply.

If the UE has received absolute priority information for inter-frequency layers, the UE shall follow these rules:

– The UE shall perform measurements of inter-frequency layers with a priority higher than the priority of the

current serving layer.

NOTE: The rate of these measurements may vary depending on whether Srxlev and Squal of the serving cell are

above or below Sprioritysearch1 and Sprioritysearch2. This is specified in [10].

– For inter-frequency layers with a priority equal or lower than the priority of the current serving layer:

– If SrxlevServingCell > Sprioritysearch1 and SqualServingCell > Sprioritysearch2 the UE may choose not to perform

measurements of inter-frequency layers of equal or lower priority.

– If SrxlevServingCell <= Sprioritysearch1 or SqualServingCell <= Sprioritysearch2 the UE shall perform measurements of

inter-frequency layers of equal or lower priority.

– The UE shall not perform measurements of inter-frequency layers for which the UE has no absolute priority.

5.2.6.1.4a Absolute priority based criteria for inter-frequency and inter-RAT cell reselection

Absolute priorities of different absolute priority layers may be provided to the UE. The following cell reselection

criteria are used for inter-frequency cells if absolute priority information for inter-frequency is available to the UE, and

inter-RAT cells if absolute priority information for inter-RAT is available to the UE.

If System Information Block 18 with UTRAN information is provided then the UE shall apply the inter-frequency

priority rules below only to UTRAN cells of the selected PLMN or equivalent PLMNs. If System Information Block 18

is not provided, or is provided but contains no information for UTRAN, then the rules below apply for the entire

UTRAN RAT.

If priority information is provided for any inter-frequency layers, cells belonging to inter-frequency layers for which no

priority or no threshold is assigned shall not be considered for reselection.

If none of the inter-frequency layers in UTRAN are provided with both priority and threshold parameters, the cell

reselection criteria in subclause 5.2.6.1.4 shall apply for inter-frequency layers in UTRAN.

If both criteria in subclause 5.2.6.1.4 and criteria in subclause 5.2.6.1.4a are simultaneously fulfilled, the order in which

the reselection criteria are evaluated is left to UE implementation.

The UE may apply either priorities broadcast in system information or priorities received through dedicated signalling.

The rules regarding which set of priorities shall apply are defined in [4]. UE specific priorities are only valid in the

RPLMN, and shall be cleared when the validity time of the UE specific priorities expires, or when leaving the RPLMN.

UE specific priorities are not applied in camped on any cell state.

The following definitions apply for the layers for which Threshx,high2 or Threshx,low2 are not provided:

– Criterion 1: the SrxlevnonServingCell,x of a cell on an evaluated higher absolute priority layer is greater than

Threshx,high during a time interval Treselection;

– Criterion 2: SrxlevServingCell < Threshserving,low or SqualServingCell < 0 and the SrxlevnonServingCell,x of a inter-frequency

cell on an evaluated equal absolute priority layer is greater than Threshx,low during a time interval Treselection;

– Criterion 3: SrxlevServingCell < Threshserving,low or SqualServingCell < 0 and the SrxlevnonServingCell,x of a cell on an

evaluated lower absolute priority layer is greater than Threshx,low during a time interval Treselection;

The following definitions apply for the layers for which both Threshx,high2 and Threshx,low2 are provided:

– Criterion 4: the SqualnonServingCell,x of a cell on an evaluated higher absolute priority layer is greater than

Threshx,high2 during a time interval Treselection;

– Criterion 5: SqualServingCell < Threshserving,low2 and the SqualnonServingCell,x of a cell on an evaluated lower absolute

priority layer is greater than Threshx,low2 during a time interval Treselection;

Cell reselection to a cell on a higher absolute priority layer than the camped frequency shall be performed if criterion 1

or 4 is fulfilled.

Cell reselection to an inter-frequency cell on an equal absolute priority layer to the camped frequency shall be

performed if criterion 2 is fulfilled.

Cell reselection to a cell on a lower absolute priority layer than the camped frequency shall be performed if criterion 3

or 5 is fulfilled.

If more than one cell meets the above criteria, the UE shall reselect the cell with the highest SrxlevnonServingCell,x among

the cells meeting the criteria on the highest absolute priority layer.

The UE shall not perform cell reselection to cells for which the cell selection criterion S is not fulfilled.

The UE shall not perform cell reselection until more than 1 second has elapsed since the UE camped on the current

serving cell.

The UE should not perform cell reselection while the UE has an allocated common E-DCH resource.

For UE in RRC connected mode states CELL_PCH or URA_PCH the interval Treselections,PCH applies, if provided in

SIB4 (see [4]), while for UE in RRC connected mode state CELL_FACH the interval Treselections,FACH applies, if

provided in SIB4 (see [4]).

In all the above criteria the values of Treselections, Treselections,PCH or Treselections,FACH apply for Treselection and are

scaled according to the UE mobility state and target RAT, as specified in 5.2.6.1.1a.

8.6.7.3a UTRA priority info list

During T1, Cell 4 meets the criteria for higher priority cell reselection

SS transmits MIB with the "MIB Value Tag" IE different from the original setting and the SIB TYPE 19 with cell 5(dummy cell which does not exist) as the higher priority cell and cell 1 as the lower priority cell (See specific message contents). SS notifies the UE by sending a SYSTEM INFORMATION CHANGE INDICATION with the BCCH modification. SS waits for 5s to ensure UE reads all the SIB information.

SS configures downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in the table 8.3.1.53. UE does not reselect to cell 4 although it fulfils the cell reselection criteria, as no priority is assigned to this cell in SIB19. UE should not be sending a CELL UPDATE in this case on cell 4.

8.3.1.53.5 Test requirements

1) At step 4, UE does not perform cell reselection to cell 4, as no priority is assigned to this cell in SIB TYPE 19 at step 1.

2) At step 7, UE reselects to higher priority cell 4, as priority is now assigned to this cell and sends a CELL UPDATE with cause: cell reselection.

8.3.1.54 Cell Update: Absolute priority based cell reselection when more than one cell meets the criterion

8.3.1.54.1 Definition and applicability

All UEs which support UTRA FDD, EUTRA and Rel 8 absolute priority cell reselection for high priority layers in CELL_FACH.

8.3.1.54.2 Conformance requirement

5.2.6.1.2a Measurement rules for inter-frequency and inter-RAT cell reselection when absolute priorities are used

The measurement rules below apply in Idle, URA_PCH, CELL_PCH states. In CELL_FACH state, if (High Priority Layers is indicated in CELL_FACH Absolute Priority Measurement Indicator [4] and SrxlevServingCell > Sprioritysearch1 and SqualServingCell > Sprioritysearch2) or (All Layers is indicated in CELL_FACH Absolute Priority Measurement Indicator [4]) then the measurement rules below apply, otherwise the measurement rules in 5.2.6.1.1 and 5.2.6.1.2 apply.

If the UE has received absolute priority information for inter-frequency layers, the UE shall follow these rules:

– The UE shall perform measurements of inter-frequency layers with a priority higher than the priority of the

current serving layer.

NOTE: The rate of these measurements may vary depending on whether Srxlev and Squal of the serving cell are

above or below Sprioritysearch1 and Sprioritysearch2. This is specified in [10].

– For inter-frequency layers with a priority equal or lower than the priority of the current serving layer:

– If SrxlevServingCell > Sprioritysearch1 and SqualServingCell > Sprioritysearch2 the UE may choose not to perform

measurements of inter-frequency layers of equal or lower priority.

– If SrxlevServingCell <= Sprioritysearch1 or SqualServingCell <= Sprioritysearch2 the UE shall perform measurements of

inter-frequency layers of equal or lower priority.

– The UE shall not perform measurements of inter-frequency layers for which the UE has no absolute priority.

5.2.6.1.4a Absolute priority based criteria for inter-frequency and inter-RAT cell reselection

Absolute priorities of different absolute priority layers may be provided to the UE. The following cell reselection

criteria are used for inter-frequency cells if absolute priority information for inter-frequency is available to the UE, and

inter-RAT cells if absolute priority information for inter-RAT is available to the UE.

If System Information Block 18 with UTRAN information is provided then the UE shall apply the inter-frequency

priority rules below only to UTRAN cells of the selected PLMN or equivalent PLMNs. If System Information Block 18

is not provided, or is provided but contains no information for UTRAN, then the rules below apply for the entire

UTRAN RAT.

If priority information is provided for any inter-frequency layers, cells belonging to inter-frequency layers for which no

priority or no threshold is assigned shall not be considered for reselection.

If none of the inter-frequency layers in UTRAN are provided with both priority and threshold parameters, the cell

reselection criteria in subclause 5.2.6.1.4 shall apply for inter-frequency layers in UTRAN.

If both criteria in subclause 5.2.6.1.4 and criteria in subclause 5.2.6.1.4a are simultaneously fulfilled, the order in which

the reselection criteria are evaluated is left to UE implementation.

The UE may apply either priorities broadcast in system information or priorities received through dedicated signalling.

The rules regarding which set of priorities shall apply are defined in [4]. UE specific priorities are only valid in the

RPLMN, and shall be cleared when the validity time of the UE specific priorities expires, or when leaving the RPLMN.

UE specific priorities are not applied in camped on any cell state.

The following definitions apply for the layers for which Threshx,high2 or Threshx,low2 are not provided:

– Criterion 1: the SrxlevnonServingCell,x of a cell on an evaluated higher absolute priority layer is greater than

Threshx,high during a time interval Treselection;

– Criterion 2: SrxlevServingCell < Threshserving,low or SqualServingCell < 0 and the SrxlevnonServingCell,x of a inter-frequency

cell on an evaluated equal absolute priority layer is greater than Threshx,low during a time interval Treselection;

– Criterion 3: SrxlevServingCell < Threshserving,low or SqualServingCell < 0 and the SrxlevnonServingCell,x of a cell on an

evaluated lower absolute priority layer is greater than Threshx,low during a time interval Treselection;

The following definitions apply for the layers for which both Threshx,high2 and Threshx,low2 are provided:

– Criterion 4: the SqualnonServingCell,x of a cell on an evaluated higher absolute priority layer is greater than

Threshx,high2 during a time interval Treselection;

– Criterion 5: SqualServingCell < Threshserving,low2 and the SqualnonServingCell,x of a cell on an evaluated lower absolute

priority layer is greater than Threshx,low2 during a time interval Treselection;

Cell reselection to a cell on a higher absolute priority layer than the camped frequency shall be performed if criterion 1

or 4 is fulfilled.

Cell reselection to an inter-frequency cell on an equal absolute priority layer to the camped frequency shall be

performed if criterion 2 is fulfilled.

Cell reselection to a cell on a lower absolute priority layer than the camped frequency shall be performed if criterion 3

or 5 is fulfilled.

If more than one cell meets the above criteria, the UE shall reselect the cell with the highest SrxlevnonServingCell,x among

the cells meeting the criteria on the highest absolute priority layer.

The UE shall not perform cell reselection to cells for which the cell selection criterion S is not fulfilled.

The UE shall not perform cell reselection until more than 1 second has elapsed since the UE camped on the current

serving cell.

The UE should not perform cell reselection while the UE has an allocated common E-DCH resource.

For UE in RRC connected mode states CELL_PCH or URA_PCH the interval Treselections,PCH applies, if provided in

SIB4 (see [4]), while for UE in RRC connected mode state CELL_FACH the interval Treselections,FACH applies, if

provided in SIB4 (see [4]).

In all the above criteria the values of Treselections, Treselections,PCH or Treselections,FACH apply for Treselection and are

scaled according to the UE mobility state and target RAT, as specified in 5.2.6.1.1a.

8.3.1.54.3 Test purpose

To confirm that if more than one cell meets the absolute priority based cell reselection criteria, the UE shall reselect the cell with the highest SrxlevnonServingCell,x among the cells meeting the criteria on the highest absolute priority layer.

8.3.1.54.4 Method of test

Initial conditions

System Simulator:

  • 3 cells Cell 1, Cell 4 and Cell 5
  • Cell 1 is the active cell with SS downlink transmission power settings according to “T0” in table 8.3.1.54 below.
  • All cells to be configured to transmit SIB 19 with default contents as in 34.108.

System Information Block type 11

Use the same message type found in clause 6.1 of TS 34.108, with the following exceptions:

Note: Srxlev is calculated in UE.

During T1, cell 4 and cell 5 meet the higher priority cell reselection criterion.

SS transmits MIB with the "MIB Value Tag" IE different from the original setting and the SIB TYPE 19 with cell 4 and cell 5 as the higher priority cells and cell 1 as the lower priority cell (See specific message contents). SS notifies the UE by sending a SYSTEM INFORMATION CHANGE INDICATION with the BCCH modification. SS waits for 5s to ensure UE reads all the SIB information.

SS configures the downlink transmission power settings according to columns “T1” from table 8.3.1.x. UE now performs cell reselection to cell 4 as Srxlev of cell 4 is higher than that of cell 5 even though both the cells fulfil the absolute priority cell reselection criteria defined in SIB TYPE 19. UE sends a CELL UPDATE with cause: cell reselection. SS responds with CELL UPDATE CONFIRM. SS releases the RRC connection.

Note: Priority of a frequency layer is defined per UTRA frequency, hence, priority value of Cell 4 and Cell 5 shall be similar
