8.3.12.1 Inter-frequency inbound handover to UMTS CSG cell without reporting proximity indication
8.3.12.1.1 Definition
Test to verify the UE can report the Cell Identity, CSG ID and CSG membership indication of inter-frequency member CSG cells without reporting proximity indication.
8.3.12.1.2 Conformance requirement
1: Inter-frequency measurements for CSG/Hybrid cells:
For each cell reported in the IE "Cell measured results" of an inter-frequency Measurement Report, which is also included in the IE "Inter-frequency SI Acquisition" associated with the measurement:
1> if the UE managed to acquire the system information of the concerned cell:
2> include the following IEs in the IE "Cell measured results":
3> "Cell Identity" IE;
3> if the concerned cell broadcasts a CSG identity:
4> "CSG Identity" IE.
4> "CSG Member indication" IE and set it to "member" if CSG identity of the concerned cell is present in UE’s CSG whitelist.
If the UE needs measurement gaps to read the system information on the non-used frequency, the system information of the reported cell can be acquired by the UE via autonomous measurement gaps when the IE "Inter-frequency SI Acquisition" is received by the UE, i.e., UE is allowed to temporarily abort communication with the serving cell to perform SI acquisition within the limits (detailed value is FFS). UE shall send the measurement report before the maximum provided time specified in IE “Periodical reporting criteria” if the UE is able to acquire SI early.
2: Inter-frequency Measurement Procedure of CSG and Hybrid cells:
1) The SRNC configures the UE with a measurement having "CSG Proximity detection" as measurement type.
2) The UE sends an "entering" CSG proximity indication when it determines it may be near a cell, (based on UE implementation) whose CSG ID is in the UE’s CSG whitelist. The CSG proximity indication includes the RAT and frequency of the cell.
3) The SRNC configures a measurement on the concerned frequency/RAT to measure CSG/hybrid cells. Compressed mode gaps, if required by the UE, are also activated to allow UE to perform measurements on the reported RAT and frequency. The network may also use the proximity indication to minimize the requesting of handover preparation information of CSG/hybrid cells by avoiding requesting such information when the UE is not in the geographical area where cells whose CSG IDs are in the UEs CSG whitelist are located.
4) The UE sends a measurement report including the measured PSCs/PCIs.
5) The SRNC configures the UE to perform SI acquisition and reporting of a particular PSC/PCI.
6) The UE performs SI acquisition using autonomous gaps, i.e., the UE may suspend reception and transmission with the SRNC within the limits (the limit is currently FFS) to acquire the relevant system information from the target HNB/HeNB.
7) The UE sends a measurement report including Cell Identity, CSG ID and CSG membership indication.
8) SRNC can then proceed with the handover processing. The handover processing for inter-frequency handover to a CSG/Hybrid cell is described in [6].
NOTE: The above steps also apply to inter-RAT mobility from UMTS cell to HeNB.
After sending an "entering" CSG proximity indication (step 2), if the UE determines that it is no longer near any cell (on the reported proximate RAT and frequency) whose CSG ID is in the UE’s CSG whitelist, the UE sends a "leaving" CSG proximity indication to the SRNC. Upon reception of this indication, the SRNC may reconfigure the UE to stop measurements on the reported RAT and frequency.
In the above procedure, step 2 may not be performed in case the UE has not previously visited the HNB, e.g., when the UE first visits a CSG/hybrid cell.
The PSC/PCI confusion is resolved by steps 5, 6 and 7. The SRNC can request SI acquisition and reporting for any PSC/PCI, not limited to PSCs/PCIs of CSG or hybrid cells
3: The CSG SI acquisition delay is defined as the time between any occurrences that will trigger a SI decoding until the UE starts to transmit over the Uu interface. This requirement assumes that the measurement report is not delayed by other RRC signalling on the DCCH. The measurement reporting delay also excludes any RRC procedure delay which is defined in [16] when SI reading is initiated by a measurement control message.
For intra frequency CSG cells, CSG SI decoding is typically triggered when a cell with primary scrambling code in a preconfigured range meets the criteria for measurement reporting. For inter frequency CSG cells, CSG SI decoding is explicitly requested by RRC signalling.
The CSG SI reporting delay shall not be more than TCSG-SI-Report where TCSG-SI-Report in ms is given by
TCSG-SI-Report = [630]+ 40*SIB3_REP
SIB3_REP is the repetition period at which the CSG cell schedules SIB3 blocks in units of frames
This requirement is applicable for CSG target cell configurations where the information required to make the SI report can be determined from the MIB and SIB3 alone, and SIB3 is not segmented into multiple TTI. Additionally, for the requirement to be applicable, the reception conditions shall be [TBD] such that the system frame number of the target CSG cell, the MIB and SIB3 can each be successfully decoded in no more than four attempts.
Test requirement = RRC Procedure delay + TCSG-SI-Report

Cell 1 is active. The UE is initially in CELL_DCH and has a radio bearer with the cell1.
At instant T0, the downlink is changed according to what is shown in table 8.3.12.1 -1. The SS then sets up inter-frequency measurements (event 2d), by sending a MEASUREMENT CONTROL message to the UE.
At instant T1, the downlink power is changed according to what is shown in table 8.3.12.1 -1. The UE shall thus send a MEASUREMENT REPORT with 2d event to the SS.
The SS sets up an intra-frequency measurement (event 1c) and an inter-frequency CSG measurement (event 2c), by sending separate MEASUREMENT CONTROL messages to the UE. Configuration of 1c event is to enable construction of CSG VAS active set in the UE.
The SS configures then compressed mode (if required), to prepare the UE for inter-frequency measurements, by sending a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message on DCCH using AM-RLC. The UE shall answer with a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message.
At instant T2, the downlink power is changed according to what is shown in table 8.3.12.1 -1. The UE shall thus send a MEASUREMENT REPORT with 2c event to the SS.
The SS then sets up SI acquisition of cell 4 by sending a MEASUREMENT CONTROL message to the UE. Compressed mode is started at the same time in that message (if required). And then the UE shall answer the cell identity, CSG ID and CSG membership indication of the cell 4.
Independent of the UE requiring compressed mode, the SS then continues by sending a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message to the UE on DCCH using AM-RLC, to order it to perform timing reinitialised inter-frequency handover to cell4.
The UE shall then transmit a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message to the SS when the inter-frequency handover has succeeded. In case the initial condition was CS-DCCH+DTCH_DCH, that message shall contain the IEs "COUNT-C activation time" and the IE "START list" (in the IE "Uplink counter synchronisation info"), indicating to the SS when and from which value to start incrementing the HFN part of the COUNT-C variable used for ciphering.

8.3.12.2 Inter-frequency inbound handover to UMTS CSG cell
8.3.12.2.1 Definition
Test to verify the UE can report the Cell Identity, CSG ID and CSG membership indication of inter-frequency CSG cells with reporting proximity indication.
8.3.12.2.2 Conformance requirement
1: Inter-frequency measurements for CSG/Hybrid cells:
For each cell reported in the IE "Cell measured results" of an inter-frequency Measurement Report, which is also included in the IE "Inter-frequency SI Acquisition" associated with the measurement:
1> if the UE managed to acquire the system information of the concerned cell:
2> include the following IEs in the IE "Cell measured results":
3> "Cell Identity" IE;
3> if the concerned cell broadcasts a CSG identity:
4> "CSG Identity" IE.
4> "CSG Member indication" IE and set it to "member" if CSG identity of the concerned cell is present in UE’s CSG whitelist.
If the UE needs measurement gaps to read the system information on the non-used frequency, the system information of the reported cell can be acquired by the UE via autonomous measurement gaps when the IE "Inter-frequency SI Acquisition" is received by the UE, i.e., UE is allowed to temporarily abort communication with the serving cell to perform SI acquisition within the limits (detailed value is FFS). UE shall send the measurement report before the maximum provided time specified in IE “Periodical reporting criteria” if the UE is able to acquire SI early.
2: Inter-frequency Measurement Procedure of CSG and Hybrid cells:
1) The SRNC configures the UE with a measurement having "CSG Proximity detection" as measurement type.
2) The UE sends an "entering" CSG proximity indication when it determines it may be near a cell, (based on UE implementation) whose CSG ID is in the UE’s CSG whitelist. The CSG proximity indication includes the RAT and frequency of the cell.
3) The SRNC configures a measurement on the concerned frequency/RAT to measure CSG/hybrid cells. Compressed mode gaps, if required by the UE, are also activated to allow UE to perform measurements on the reported RAT and frequency. The network may also use the proximity indication to minimize the requesting of handover preparation information of CSG/hybrid cells by avoiding requesting such information when the UE is not in the geographical area where cells whose CSG IDs are in the UEs CSG whitelist are located.
4) The UE sends a measurement report including the measured PSCs/PCIs.
5) The SRNC configures the UE to perform SI acquisition and reporting of a particular PSC/PCI.
6) The UE performs SI acquisition using autonomous gaps, i.e., the UE may suspend reception and transmission with the SRNC within the limits (the limit is currently FFS) to acquire the relevant system information from the target HNB/HeNB.
7) The UE sends a measurement report including Cell Identity, CSG ID and CSG membership indication.
8) SRNC can then proceed with the handover processing. The handover processing for inter-frequency handover to a CSG/Hybrid cell is described in [6].
NOTE: The above steps also apply to inter-RAT mobility from UMTS cell to HeNB.
After sending an "entering" CSG proximity indication (step 2), if the UE determines that it is no longer near any cell (on the reported proximate RAT and frequency) whose CSG ID is in the UE’s CSG whitelist, the UE sends a "leaving" CSG proximity indication to the SRNC. Upon reception of this indication, the SRNC may reconfigure the UE to stop measurements on the reported RAT and frequency.
In the above procedure, step 2 may not be performed in case the UE has not previously visited the HNB, e.g., when the UE first visits a CSG/hybrid cell.
The PSC/PCI confusion is resolved by steps 5, 6 and 7. The SRNC can request SI acquisition and reporting for any PSC/PCI, not limited to PSCs/PCIs of CSG or hybrid cells.
3: The CSG SI acquisition delay is defined as the time between any occurrences that will trigger a SI decoding until the UE starts to transmit over the Uu interface. This requirement assumes that the measurement report is not delayed by other RRC signalling on the DCCH. The measurement reporting delay also excludes any RRC procedure delay which is defined in [16] when SI reading is initiated by a measurement control message.
For intra frequency CSG cells, CSG SI decoding is typically triggered when a cell with primary scrambling code in a preconfigured range meets the criteria for measurement reporting. For inter frequency CSG cells, CSG SI decoding is explicitly requested by RRC signalling.
The CSG SI reporting delay shall not be more than TCSG-SI-Report where TCSG-SI-Report in ms is given by
TCSG-SI-Report = [630]+ 40*SIB3_REP
SIB3_REP is the repetition period at which the CSG cell schedules SIB3 blocks in units of frames
This requirement is applicable for CSG target cell configurations where the information required to make the SI report can be determined from the MIB and SIB3 alone, and SIB3 is not segmented into multiple TTI. Additionally, for the requirement to be applicable, the reception conditions shall be [TBD] such that the system frame number of the target CSG cell, the MIB and SIB3 can each be successfully decoded in no more than four attempts.
Test requirement = RRC Procedure delay + TCSG-SI-Report

The three cells are all active. The UE is initially in CELL_DCH and has a radio bearer with the cell1.
At instant T0, the downlink is changed according to what is shown in table 8.3.12.1 -1. The SS then activates the UE to detect the CSG proximity by sending a MEASUREMENT CONTROL message to the UE. The UE shall answer the CSG proximity indication to the cell1.
The SS sends MEASUREMENT CONTROL with 1c event to enable the CSG VAS active set in the UE.
The SS configures then compressed mode (if required), to prepare the UE for inter-frequency measurements, by sending a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message on DCCH using AM-RLC. The UE shall answer with a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message.
The SS then sets up inter-frequency measurements (event 2b), by sending a MEASUREMENT CONTROL message to the UE. Compressed mode is started at the same time in that message (if required).
At instant T1, the downlink power is changed according to what is shown in table 8.3.12.1 -1. The UE shall thus send a MEASUREMENT REPORT with 2b event to the SS.
The SS then sets up SI acquisition of cell 4 by sending a MEASUREMENT CONTROL message to the UE. Compressed mode is started at the same time in that message (if required). And then the UE shall answer the cell identity, CSG ID and CSG membership indication of the cell 4.
Independent of the UE requiring compressed mode, the SS then continues by sending a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message to the UE on DCCH using AM-RLC, to order it to perform timing reinitialised inter-frequency handover to cell4.
The UE shall then transmit a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message to the SS when the inter-frequency handover has succeeded. In case the initial condition was CS-DCCH+DTCH_DCH, that message shall contain the IEs "COUNT-C activation time" and the IE "START list" (in the IE "Uplink counter synchronisation info"), indicating to the SS when and from which value to start incrementing the HFN part of the COUNT-C variable used for ciphering.

8.3.12.3 Inter-frequency Measurements of UMTS CSG cell by non-member UE
8.3.12.3.1 Definition
Test to verify the UE can report the Cell Identity, CSG ID and CSG membership indication of a non-member CSG cell to the SRNC in the measurement report.
8.3.12.3.2 Conformance requirement
1: Inter-frequency measurements for CSG/Hybrid cells:
For each cell reported in the IE "Cell measured results" of an inter-frequency Measurement Report, which is also included in the IE "Inter-frequency SI Acquisition" associated with the measurement:
1> if the UE managed to acquire the system information of the concerned cell:
2> include the following IEs in the IE "Cell measured results":
3> "Cell Identity" IE;
3> if the concerned cell broadcasts a CSG identity:
4> "CSG Identity" IE.
4> "CSG Member indication" IE and set it to "member" if CSG identity of the concerned cell is present in UE’s CSG whitelist.
If the UE needs measurement gaps to read the system information on the non-used frequency, the system information of the reported cell can be acquired by the UE via autonomous measurement gaps when the IE "Inter-frequency SI Acquisition" is received by the UE, i.e., UE is allowed to temporarily abort communication with the serving cell to perform SI acquisition within the limits (detailed value is FFS). UE shall send the measurement report before the maximum provided time specified in IE “Periodical reporting criteria” if the UE is able to acquire SI early.
2: Inter-frequency Measurement Procedure of CSG and Hybrid cells:
1) The SRNC configures the UE with a measurement having "CSG Proximity detection" as measurement type.
2) The UE sends an "entering" CSG proximity indication when it determines it may be near a cell, (based on UE implementation) whose CSG ID is in the UE’s CSG whitelist. The CSG proximity indication includes the RAT and frequency of the cell.
3) The SRNC configures a measurement on the concerned frequency/RAT to measure CSG/hybrid cells. Compressed mode gaps, if required by the UE, are also activated to allow UE to perform measurements on the reported RAT and frequency. The network may also use the proximity indication to minimize the requesting of handover preparation information of CSG/hybrid cells by avoiding requesting such information when the UE is not in the geographical area where cells whose CSG IDs are in the UEs CSG whitelist are located.
4) The UE sends a measurement report including the measured PSCs/PCIs.
5) The SRNC configures the UE to perform SI acquisition and reporting of a particular PSC/PCI.
6) The UE performs SI acquisition using autonomous gaps, i.e., the UE may suspend reception and transmission with the SRNC within the limits (the limit is currently FFS) to acquire the relevant system information from the target HNB/HeNB.
7) The UE sends a measurement report including Cell Identity, CSG ID and CSG membership indication.
8) SRNC can then proceed with the handover processing. The handover processing for inter-frequency handover to a CSG/Hybrid cell is described in [6].
NOTE: The above steps also apply to inter-RAT mobility from UMTS cell to HeNB.
After sending an "entering" CSG proximity indication (step 2), if the UE determines that it is no longer near any cell (on the reported proximate RAT and frequency) whose CSG ID is in the UE’s CSG whitelist, the UE sends a "leaving" CSG proximity indication to the SRNC. Upon reception of this indication, the SRNC may reconfigure the UE to stop measurements on the reported RAT and frequency.
In the above procedure, step 2 may not be performed in case the UE has not previously visited the HNB, e.g., when the UE first visits a CSG/hybrid cell.
The PSC/PCI confusion is resolved by steps 5, 6 and 7. The SRNC can request SI acquisition and reporting for any PSC/PCI, not limited to PSCs/PCIs of CSG or hybrid cells.
3: The CSG SI acquisition delay is defined as the time between any occurrences that will trigger a SI decoding until the UE starts to transmit over the Uu interface. This requirement assumes that the measurement report is not delayed by other RRC signalling on the DCCH. The measurement reporting delay also excludes any RRC procedure delay which is defined in [16] when SI reading is initiated by a measurement control message.
For intra frequency CSG cells, CSG SI decoding is typically triggered when a cell with primary scrambling code in a preconfigured range meets the criteria for measurement reporting. For inter frequency CSG cells, CSG SI decoding is explicitly requested by RRC signalling.
The CSG SI reporting delay shall not be more than TCSG-SI-Report where TCSG-SI-Report in ms is given by
TCSG-SI-Report = [630]+ 40*SIB3_REP
SIB3_REP is the repetition period at which the CSG cell schedules SIB3 blocks in units of frames
This requirement is applicable for CSG target cell configurations where the information required to make the SI report can be determined from the MIB and SIB3 alone, and SIB3 is not segmented into multiple TTI. Additionally, for the requirement to be applicable, the reception conditions shall be [TBD] such that the system frame number of the target CSG cell, the MIB and SIB3 can each be successfully decoded in no more than four attempts.
Test requirement = RRC Procedure delay + TCSG-SI-Report

Cell 1 is active. The UE is initially in CELL_DCH and has a radio bearer with the cell1.
At instant T0, the downlink is changed according to what is shown in table 8.3.12.1 -1. The SS sends MEASUREMENT CONTROL with 1c event required for construction of the CSG VAS active set in the UE.
The SS configures then compressed mode (if required), to prepare the UE for inter-frequency measurements, by sending a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message on DCCH using AM-RLC. The UE shall answer with a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message.
The SS then sets up CSG inter-frequency measurements (event 2b), by sending a MEASUREMENT CONTROL message to the UE.
At instant T1, the downlink power is changed according to what is shown in table 8.3.12.1 -1. The UE shall thus send a MEASUREMENT REPORT with 2b event to the SS.
The SS then sets up SI acquisition of cell 4 by sending a MEASUREMENT CONTROL message to the UE. And then the UE shall report the cell identity, CSG ID and CSG membership indication of the cell 4.

8.3.12.3.5 Test requirement
At step 7, the UE sends 2b event for cell 4 to cell1.
At step 10, The UE sends a measurement reporting including the cell identity, CSG ID and CSG membership(non-member) indication (which should be absent) of the cell 4 within 4000ms.
8.3.12.4 Intra-frequency inbound handover to UMTS CSG cell without specifying PSCs for SI Acquisition
8.3.12.4.1 Definition
Test to verify the UE can report the PSC, Cell Identity, CSG ID and CSG membership indication of intra-frequency CSG cells.
8.3.12.4.2 Conformance requirement
1.Intra-frequency measurements for CSG/Hybrid cells
For each cell reported in the IE "Cell measured results" of an intra-frequency Measurement Report, which is also included in the IE "Intra-frequency SI Acquisition" associated with the measurement:
1> if the UE managed to acquire the valid system information of the concerned cell:
2> include the following IEs in the IE "Cell measured results":
3> "Cell Identity" IE.
3> if the concerned cell broadcasts a CSG identity:
4> "CSG Identity" IE.
4> "CSG Member indication" IE and set it to "member" if the concerned cell is CSG member cell.
The system information of the reported cell(s) can be acquired by the UE without any measurement gaps.
2: Intra-frequency Measurement Procedure of CSG and Hybrid cells:
1) The SRNC configures the UE with a measurement having "CSG Proximity detection" as measurement type.
2) The UE sends an "entering" CSG proximity indication when it determines it may be near a cell, (based on UE implementation) whose CSG ID is in the UE’s CSG whitelist.
3) If a measurement configuration for CSG/hybrid cells is not present, the SRNC configures the UE with relevant measurement configuration which includes the PSCs that the UE must measure and the PSCs for which SI acquisition should be performed. The network may use the CSG proximity indication for intra-frequency case to minimize the time during which measurements for CSG/hybrid cells are configured.
4) The UE sends a measurement report including the measured PSC, Cell Identity, CSG ID and CSG membership indication of the target HNB to the SRNC (e.g., due to a triggered intra-frequency event 1d). The UE can acquire MIB and SIB3/SIB4 of intra-frequency target HNB cells in parallel with reception of the serving cell transmissions in CELL_DCH. No measurement gaps are required for reading MIB and SIB3/SIB4.
5) SRNC can then proceeds with the handover processing as described in [6].
After sending an "entering" CSG proximity indication (step 2), if the UE determines that it is no longer near any cell (on the reported proximate RAT and frequency) whose CSG ID is in the UE’s CSG whitelist, the UE sends a “leaving” CSG proximity indication to the SRNC. Upon reception of this indication, the SRNC may reconfigure the UE to stop measurements configured.
The PSC confusion is resolved by steps 3 and 4. The SRNC can request SI acquisition and reporting for any PSC, not limited to PSCs of CSG or hybrid cells.

The UE is initially in cell_DCH state and has a radio bearer with the cell1. The initial condition is set as the instant T0 shown in table 8.3.12.4 -1.
The SS activates the UE to detect the CSG proximity by sending a MEASUREMENT CONTROL message to the UE.
At instant T1, the downlink is changed according to what is shown in table 8.3.12.4 -1. The UE shall answer the CSG proximity indication to the cell1.The SS then sets up intra-frequency measurements (event 1d), by sending a MEASUREMENT CONTROL message to the UE.
At instant T2, the downlink power is changed according to what is shown in table 8.3.12.4 -1. The UE shall thus send a MEASUREMENT REPORT with 1d event to the SS.
The SS sends ACTIVE SET UPDATE to the UE and commands the UE adds cell2 to the active set.
The UE shall then add the cell2 to the active set and handover to the cell2.

8.3.12.6 Intra-frequency inbound handover to UMTS CSG cell
8.3.12.6.1 Definition
Test to verify the UE can report the Cell Identity, CSG ID and CSG membership indication of intra-frequency CSG cells.
8.3.12.6.2 Conformance requirement
1:Intra-frequency measurements for CSG/Hybrid cells
For each cell reported in the IE "Cell measured results" of an intra-frequency Measurement Report, which is also included in the IE "Intra-frequency SI Acquisition" associated with the measurement:
1> if the UE managed to acquire the valid system information of the concerned cell:
2> include the following IEs in the IE "Cell measured results":
3> "Cell Identity" IE.
3> if the concerned cell broadcasts a CSG identity:
4> "CSG Identity" IE.
4> "CSG Member indication" IE and set it to "member" if the concerned cell is CSG member cell.
The system information of the reported cell(s) can be acquired by the UE without any measurement gaps.
2: Intra-frequency Measurement Procedure of CSG and Hybrid cells:
1) The SRNC configures the UE with a measurement having "CSG Proximity detection" as measurement type.
2) The UE sends an "entering" CSG proximity indication when it determines it may be near a cell, (based on UE implementation) whose CSG ID is in the UE’s CSG whitelist.
3) If a measurement configuration for CSG/hybrid cells is not present, the SRNC configures the UE with relevant measurement configuration which includes the PSCs that the UE must measure and the PSCs for which SI acquisition should be performed. The network may use the CSG proximity indication for intra-frequency case to minimize the time during which measurements for CSG/hybrid cells are configured.
4) The UE sends a measurement report including the measured PSC, Cell Identity, CSG ID and CSG membership indication of the target HNB to the SRNC (e.g., due to a triggered intra-frequency event 1d). The UE can acquire MIB and SIB3/SIB4 of intra-frequency target HNB cells in parallel with reception of the serving cell transmissions in CELL_DCH. No measurement gaps are required for reading MIB and SIB3/SIB4.
5) SRNC can then proceeds with the handover processing as described in [6].
After sending an "entering" CSG proximity indication (step 2), if the UE determines that it is no longer near any cell (on the reported proximate RAT and frequency) whose CSG ID is in the UE’s CSG whitelist, the UE sends a “leaving” CSG proximity indication to the SRNC. Upon reception of this indication, the SRNC may reconfigure the UE to stop measurements configured.
The PSC confusion is resolved by steps 3 and 4. The SRNC can request SI acquisition and reporting for any PSC, not limited to PSCs of CSG or hybrid cells.

The UE is initially in cell_DCH state and has a radio bearer with the cell1. The initial condition is set as the instant T0 shown in table 8.3.12.6 -1.
The SS then activates the UE to detect the CSG proximity by sending a MEASUREMENT CONTROL message to the UE.
At instant T1, the downlink is changed according to what is shown in table 8.3.12.6 -1. The UE shall answer the CSG proximity indication to the cell1.The SS then sets up intra-frequency measurements (event 1d), by sending a MEASUREMENT CONTROL message to the UE.
At instant T2, the downlink power is changed according to what is shown in table 8.3.12.6 -1. The UE shall thus send a MEASUREMENT REPORT with 1d event to the SS with the PSC of the cell2.
The SS configures the PSC range for SI acquisition to UE. The UE acquires the SI of the cell2 and sends it to the SS with the cell identity, CSG ID and membership indication.
The SS sends ACTIVE SET UPDATE to the UE and commands the UE adds cell2 to the active set.
The UE shall then add the cell2 to the active set and handover to the cell2.

8.3.12.8 Intra-frequency Inbound Handover to UMTS Hybrid Cell
8.3.12.8.1 Definition
Test to verify that the UE can report the CSG ID, Cell Identity and CSG membership indication of the intra-frequency hybrid cell.
8.3.12.8.2 Conformance requirement
1. Intra-frequency measurements for CSG/Hybrid cells
For each cell reported in the IE "Cell measured results" of an intra-frequency Measurement Report, which is also included in the IE "Intra-frequency SI Acquisition" associated with the measurement:
1> if the UE managed to acquire the valid system information of the concerned cell:
2> include the following IEs in the IE "Cell measured results":
3> "Cell Identity" IE.
3> if the concerned cell broadcasts a CSG identity:
4> "CSG Identity" IE.
4> "CSG Member indication" IE and set it to "member" if CSG identity of the concerned cell is present in UE’s CSG whitelist.
2. CSG/Hybrid Cell Intra-frequency Measurement Procedure
1) The SRNC configures the UE with a measurement having "CSG Proximity detection" as measurement type.
2) The UE sends an "entering" CSG proximity indication when it determines it may be near a cell, (based on UE implementation) whose CSG ID is in the UE’s CSG whitelist.
3) If a measurement configuration for CSG/hybrid cells is not present, the SRNC configures the UE with relevant measurement configuration which includes the PSCs that the UE must measure and the PSCs for which SI acquisition should be performed. The network may use the CSG proximity indication for intra-frequency case to minimize the time during which measurements for CSG/hybrid cells are configured.
4) The UE sends a measurement report including the measured PSC, Cell Identity, CSG ID and CSG membership indication of the target HNB to the SRNC (e.g., due to a triggered intra-frequency event 1d). The UE can acquire MIB and SIB3/SIB4 of intra-frequency target HNB cells in parallel with reception of the serving cell transmissions in CELL_DCH. No measurement gaps are required for reading MIB and SIB3/SIB4.
5) SRNC can then proceeds with the handover processing as described in [6].
After sending an "entering" CSG proximity indication (step 2), if the UE determines that it is no longer near any cell (on the reported proximate RAT and frequency) whose CSG ID is in the UE’s CSG whitelist, the UE sends a “leaving” CSG proximity indication to the SRNC. Upon reception of this indication, the SRNC may reconfigure the UE to stop measurements configured.
The PSC confusion is resolved by steps 3 and 4. The SRNC can request SI acquisition and reporting for any PSC, not limited to PSCs of CSG or hybrid cells.

The two cells are all active. The UE is initially in CELL_DCH and has a radio bearer with the cell 1.
SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T0" in table 8.3.12.7-1. The SS configures the UE the PSC range of the intra-frequency HNB cells with a MEASUREMENT CONTROL message configuring event 1D “Change of best cell”.
SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.12.9-1. UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2.
After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS transmits to the UE a MEASUREMENT CONTROL message to configure the UE to read the system information of the cell 2. When the UE receives this message, the UE shall perform the SI acquisition of the cell 2 and transmits a MEASUREMENT REPORT message.
The SS transmits a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message to the UE on DCCH using AM-RLC, to order it to perform intra-frequency handover to cell 4. The UE shall then transmit a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message to the SS when the intra-frequency handover has succeeded.
SS calls for generic procedure C.3 to check that UE is in CELL_DCH state.

8.3.12.10 Intra-frequency inbound handover to UMTS non-CSG cell
8.3.12.10.1 Definition
Test to verify the UE can report the Cell Identity of the non-CSG cell, but “CSG Identity” and “CSG Member Indication” IEs are not included.
8.3.12.10.2 Conformance requirement
1. Intra-frequency measurements for CSG/Hybrid cells
For each cell reported in the IE "Cell measured results" of an intra-frequency Measurement Report, which is also included in the IE "Intra-frequency SI Acquisition" associated with the measurement:
1> if the UE managed to acquire the valid system information of the concerned cell:
2> include the following IEs in the IE "Cell measured results":
3> "Cell Identity" IE.
3> if the concerned cell broadcasts a CSG identity:
4> "CSG Identity" IE.
4> "CSG Member indication" IE and set it to "member" if CSG identity of the concerned cell is present in UE’s CSG whitelist.
The system information of the reported cell(s) can be acquired by the UE without any measurement gaps.
2. CSG/Hybrid Cell Intra-frequency Measurement Procedure
Figure 8.1.1-1: Intra-frequency Measurement Procedure of CSG and Hybrid cells
1) The SRNC configures the UE with a measurement having "CSG Proximity detection" as measurement type.
2) The UE sends an "entering" CSG proximity indication when it determines it may be near a cell, (based on UE implementation) whose CSG ID is in the UE’s CSG whitelist.
3) If a measurement configuration for CSG/hybrid cells is not present, the SRNC configures the UE with relevant measurement configuration which includes the PSCs that the UE must measure and the PSCs for which SI acquisition should be performed. The network may use the CSG proximity indication for intra-frequency case to minimize the time during which measurements for CSG/hybrid cells are configured.
4) The UE sends a measurement report including the measured PSC, Cell Identity, CSG ID and CSG membership indication of the target HNB to the SRNC (e.g., due to a triggered intra-frequency event 1d). The UE can acquire MIB and SIB3/SIB4 of intra-frequency target HNB cells in parallel with reception of the serving cell transmissions in CELL_DCH. No measurement gaps are required for reading MIB and SIB3/SIB4.
5) SRNC can then proceeds with the handover processing as described in [6].
After sending an "entering" CSG proximity indication (step 2), if the UE determines that it is no longer near any cell (on the reported proximate RAT and frequency) whose CSG ID is in the UE’s CSG whitelist, the UE sends a “leaving” CSG proximity indication to the SRNC. Upon reception of this indication, the SRNC may reconfigure the UE to stop measurements configured.
The PSC confusion is resolved by steps 3 and 4. The SRNC can request SI acquisition and reporting for any PSC, not limited to PSCs of CSG or hybrid cells.

The instant T0, the Cell 1 is active and the UE is initially in CELL_DCH and has a radio bearer with the Cell 1. The Cell 2 (non-CSG cell) is inactive. The SS sends MEASUREMENT CONTROL with event 1d configured to the UE. The PSC of the Cell 2 (144) shall be within the scope of the PSC range in the MEASUREMENT CONTROL.
At instant T1, the downlink is changed according to what is shown in table 8.3.12.10-1. The UE shall thus send a MEASUREMENT REPORT with 1d event to the SS. The UE sends the PSC of the Cell 2.
The SS configures the PSC for SI acquisition to UE. The UE acquires the SI of the Cell 2 and sends it to the SS with the cell identity.
The SS sends a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message on DCCH using AM-RLC to trigger the handover to the Cell 2. The UE shall answer with a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message.

8.3.12.11 Inter-frequency Measurement of UMTS non-CSG cell
8.3.12.11.1 Definition
Test to verify the UE can report the Cell Identity and does not report CSG ID and CSG Member indication of a non-CSG cell to the SRNC in the measurement report.
8.3.12.11.2 Conformance requirement
1: Inter-frequency measurements for CSG/Hybrid cells:
For each cell reported in the IE "Cell measured results" of an inter-frequency Measurement Report, which is also included in the IE "Inter-frequency SI Acquisition" associated with the measurement:
1> if the UE managed to acquire the system information of the concerned cell:
2> include the following IEs in the IE "Cell measured results":
3> "Cell Identity" IE;
3> if the concerned cell broadcasts a CSG identity:
4> "CSG Identity" IE.
4> "CSG Member indication" IE and set it to "member" if CSG identity of the concerned cell is present in UE’s CSG whitelist.
If the UE needs measurement gaps to read the system information on the non-used frequency, the system information of the reported cell can be acquired by the UE via autonomous measurement gaps when the IE "Inter-frequency SI Acquisition" is received by the UE, i.e., UE is allowed to temporarily abort communication with the serving cell to perform SI acquisition within the limits (detailed value is FFS). UE shall send the measurement report before the maximum provided time specified in IE “Periodical reporting criteria” if the UE is able to acquire SI early.
2: Inter-frequency Measurement Procedure of CSG and Hybrid cells:
1) The SRNC configures the UE with a measurement having "CSG Proximity detection" as measurement type.
2) The UE sends an "entering" CSG proximity indication when it determines it may be near a cell, (based on UE implementation) whose CSG ID is in the UE’s CSG whitelist. The CSG proximity indication includes the RAT and frequency of the cell.
3) The SRNC configures a measurement on the concerned frequency/RAT to measure CSG/hybrid cells. Compressed mode gaps, if required by the UE, are also activated to allow UE to perform measurements on the reported RAT and frequency. The network may also use the proximity indication to minimize the requesting of handover preparation information of CSG/hybrid cells by avoiding requesting such information when the UE is not in the geographical area where cells whose CSG IDs are in the UEs CSG whitelist are located.
4) The UE sends a measurement report including the measured PSCs/PCIs.
5) The SRNC configures the UE to perform SI acquisition and reporting of a particular PSC/PCI.
6) The UE performs SI acquisition using autonomous gaps, i.e., the UE may suspend reception and transmission with the SRNC within the limits (the limit is currently FFS) to acquire the relevant system information from the target HNB/HeNB.
7) The UE sends a measurement report including Cell Identity, CSG ID and CSG membership indication.
8) SRNC can then proceed with the handover processing. The handover processing for inter-frequency handover to a CSG/Hybrid cell is described in [6].
NOTE: The above steps also apply to inter-RAT mobility from UMTS cell to HeNB.
After sending an "entering" CSG proximity indication (step 2), if the UE determines that it is no longer near any cell (on the reported proximate RAT and frequency) whose CSG ID is in the UE’s CSG whitelist, the UE sends a "leaving" CSG proximity indication to the SRNC. Upon reception of this indication, the SRNC may reconfigure the UE to stop measurements on the reported RAT and frequency.
In the above procedure, step 2 may not be performed in case the UE has not previously visited the HNB, e.g., when the UE first visits a CSG/hybrid cell.
The PSC/PCI confusion is resolved by steps 5, 6 and 7. The SRNC can request SI acquisition and reporting for any PSC/PCI, not limited to PSCs/PCIs of CSG or hybrid cells.
3: The CSG SI acquisition delay is defined as the time between any occurrences that will trigger a SI decoding until the UE starts to transmit over the Uu interface. This requirement assumes that the measurement report is not delayed by other RRC signalling on the DCCH. The measurement reporting delay also excludes any RRC procedure delay which is defined in [16] when SI reading is initiated by a measurement control message.
For intra frequency CSG cells, CSG SI decoding is typically triggered when a cell with primary scrambling code in a preconfigured range meets the criteria for measurement reporting. For inter frequency CSG cells, CSG SI decoding is explicitly requested by RRC signalling.
The CSG SI reporting delay shall not be more than TCSG-SI-Report where TCSG-SI-Report in ms is given by
TCSG-SI-Report = [630]+ 40*SIB3_REP
SIB3_REP is the repetition period at which the CSG cell schedules SIB3 blocks in units of frames
This requirement is applicable for CSG target cell configurations where the information required to make the SI report can be determined from the MIB and SIB3 alone, and SIB3 is not segmented into multiple TTI. Additionally, for the requirement to be applicable, the reception conditions shall be [TBD] such that the system frame number of the target CSG cell, the MIB and SIB3 can each be successfully decoded in no more than four attempts.
Test requirement = RRC Procedure delay + TCSG-SI-Report

Cell 1 is active. The UE is initially in CELL_DCH and has a radio bearer with the cell1.
At instant T0, the downlink is changed according to what is shown in table 8.3.12.11 -1.
The SS sends MEASUREMENT CONTROL with 1c event required for construction of the CSG VAS active set in the UE.
The SS configures then compressed mode (if required), to prepare the UE for inter-frequency measurements, by sending a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message on DCCH using AM-RLC. The UE shall answer with a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE message.
The SS then sets up CSG inter-frequency measurements (event 2b), by sending a MEASUREMENT CONTROL message to the UE.
At instant T1, the downlink power is changed according to what is shown in table 8.3.12.11 -1. The UE shall thus send a MEASUREMENT REPORT with 2b event to the SS.
The SS then sets up SI acquisition of cell 4 by sending a MEASUREMENT CONTROL message to the UE. And then the UE shall report the cell identity of the cell 4.

8.3.12.12.2 Conformance requirement
1: Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in [1] apply, together as:
Activated uplink frequency (FDD only): For a specific UE, an uplink frequency is said to be activated if the UE is allowed to transmit on that frequency. The primary uplink frequency is always activated when configured while a secondary uplink frequency has to be activated by means of an HS-SCCH order in order to become activated.
Adjacent Frequency: A frequency whose centre is within 5 MHz of the centre of the currently used frequency and belongs to the same frequency band as that of the currently used frequency.
Common E-DCH resource: In FDD, common E-DCH resources are under direct control of the Node B and are shared by UEs in CELL_FACH state and IDLE mode. In 1.28 Mcps TDD, common E-DCH resources used by UEs in CELL_FACH and IDLE mode are under direct control of Node B and are shared by UEs in the CELL_DCH state.
Configured Uplink Frequency (FDD only): For a specific UE, an uplink frequency is said to be configured if the UE has received all relevant information from RRC in order to perform transmission on that frequency.
CSG member Cell: for a UE in RRC_CONNECTED, a Cell broadcasting the identity of the Registered PLMN or Equivalent PLMN and for which CSG whitelist of the UE includes an entry comprising of Cell’s CSG ID and the respective PLMN identity.
Current Frequency (FDD only): The frequency that is currently used by the UE. In case of dual Cell or dual band configured, the serving HS-DSCH Cell frequency is treated as current frequency.
2. Intra-frequency measurements for CSG/Hybrid Cells
For each Cell reported in the IE "Cell measured results" of an intra-frequency Measurement Report, which is also included in the IE "Intra-frequency SI Acquisition" associated with the measurement:
1> if the UE managed to acquire the valid system information of the concerned Cell:
2> include the following IEs in the IE "Cell measured results":
3> "Cell Identity" IE.
3> if the concerned Cell broadcasts a CSG identity:
4> "CSG Identity" IE.
4> "CSG Member indication" IE and set it to "member" if the concerned Cell is CSG member Cell.
The system information of the reported Cell(s) can be acquired by the UE without any measurement gaps.
Reference
1: 3GPP TS 25.331 clause 3.1 v9.8
2. 3GPP TS 25.331 clause 14.7a.1 v9.8
8.3.12.12.3 Test purpose
1. To confirm that the UE is considered as "member" when the CSG whitelist of the UE includes an entry comprising of Cell’s CSG ID and the EPLMN identity.
2. To verify that the member UE could report the Cell Identity, CSG ID and CSG membership indication of the CSG member Cell and handover to it.

The initial condition is set as the instant T0 shown in table 8.3.12.12-2 and The UE is switched off.
The UE is switched on. The SS waits for random access requests from the UE. A complete Location Update is done. SS specifies PLMN 2 Equivalent to PLMN 1 in Location Update Accept Message.
The UE initiates a PS/CS services with the Cell 1 and keeps in CELL_DCH state and has a radio bearer with the Cell1.
The SS then sets up intra-frequency measurements (event 1d), by sending a MEASUREMENT CONTROL message to the UE.
At instant T1, the downlink is changed according to what is shown in table 8.3.12.12-2. The UE shall thus send a MEASUREMENT REPORT with 1d (for Cell 2) event to the SS.
The SS configures the PSC range for SI acquisition to UE. The UE acquires the SI of the Cell2 and sends it to the SS with the Cell identity, CSG ID and membership indication.
The UE shall handover to the Cell 2.

8.3.12.14 Inter-frequency CSG proximity indication
8.3.12.14.1 Definition
Test to verify the UE properly indicates that the UE is entering or leaving the proximity of one or more CSG member cells based on proximity detection with an autonomous search function.
8.3.12.14.2 Conformance requirement
1: The UE shall initiate transmission of the ProximityIndication message with "entering" according to [16] within [6] minutes after entering the proximity of one or more CSG member cell(s) on a UTRA or E-UTRA frequency.
The UE shall initiate transmission of the ProximityIndication message with "leaving" according to [16] within [6] minutes after leaving the proximity of all CSG member cell(s) on a UTRA or E-UTRA frequency.
There is no need for statistical testing of this requirement.
NOTE: Entering the proximity of one or more CSG member cell(s) means that the UE is near a cell whose CSG ID is in the UE’s CSG whitelist (as determined based on autonomous search procedures). Leaving the proximity of one or more CSG member cell(s) means that the UE is no longer near any cell whose CSG ID is in the UE’s CSG whitelist.
Reference
1: 3GPP TS 25.133, clause 6.7.2
8.3.12.14.3 Test purpose
1. To confirm that the UE can transmit ProximityIndication message with "entering" after entering the proximity of CSG member cell.
2. To confirm that the UE can transmit ProximityIndication message with "leaving" after leaving the proximity of CSG member cell.
