Table 8.3.4.1 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

Initially, the UE goes to connected mode and establishes a radio access bearer in CELL_DCH state in cell 1.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.4.1. UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1a’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS configures the new radio link to be added from cell 2 and then the SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 1 on DCCH using AM RLC which includes the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" (e.g. Downlink DPCH information and other optional parameters relevant for the additional radio links with Primary CPICH info used for the reference ID).

When the UE receives this message, the UE shall configure layer 1 to begin reception without affecting the current uplink and downlink activities of existing radio links. The UE shall transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC without waiting for the physical channel synchronisation B.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T2" in table 8.3.4.1. UE shall not detect the DPCH from cell 1 but continue to communicate through the another DPCH from cell 2. The UE shall transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which indicates the event ‘1b’ for cell 1.

SS shall transmit a UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY message to confirm that the UE can respond this message through the DPCH in cell 2. The UE shall transmit a UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY INFORMATION message. Then SS transmits a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message.

The SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T3" in table 8.3.4.1. UE shall detect DPCH from cell 1, but not detect the DPCH from cell 2, but continue to communicate through DPCH from cell 1. The UE shall transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which indicates the event ‘1b’ for cell 2.

SS shall transmit a UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY message to confirm that the UE can respond this message through the DPCH in cell 1. The UE shall transmit a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message. Then SS transmits a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message. SS calls for generic procedure C.3 to check that UE is in CELL_DCH state.

Table 8.3.4.2 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

At the start of the test, the UE goes to connected mode and establishes a radio access bearer service in the CELL_DCH state in cell 1.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.4.2. UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1a’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS configures the new radio link to be added from cell 2 and then the SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 1 on DCCH using AM RLC which includes the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" (e.g. Downlink DPCH information and other optional parameters relevant for the additional radio links with Primary CPICH info used for the reference ID).

When the UE receives this message, the UE shall configure layer 1 to begin reception without affecting the current uplink and downlink activities of existing radio links. The UE shall transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T2" in table 8.3.4.2. UE shall transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 1 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1b’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS remove the radio link from cell 1 and then SS transmits an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message, which includes IE "Radio Link Removal Information" and specifying the P-CPICH information of the cell to be removed.

When the UE receives this message, the UE RRC entity shall request UE L1 entity to terminate transmission and reception of the radio link from cell 1. Then the UE transmits an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

SS shall transmit a UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY message to confirm that the UE can respond this message through the DPCH in cell 2. The UE shall transmit a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message. Then SS transmits a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T3" in table 8.3.4.2 so as to generate a radio link failure condition. The UE shall detect the radio link failure UE shall re-select to cell 1 and transmit a CELL UPDATE message. SS transmits a CELL UPDATE CONFIRM message after it receive CELL UPDATE message from UE. Then the UE shall transmit a PHYSICAL 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.

Table 8.3.4.3 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 3 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

The UE goes to connected mode and establishes a radio access bearer in the CELL_DCH state in cell 1.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.4.3. UE transmits a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1a’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS configures the new radio link to be added from cell 2 and then the SS transmits to the UE in cell 1 an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message which includes IE "Radio Link Addition Information", indicating the addition of cell 2 into the active set, on DCCH using AM RLC.

When the UE receives this message, the UE shall configure layer 1 to begin reception without affecting the current uplink and downlink activities of existing radio links. The UE shall transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T2" in table 8.3.4.3. UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 3 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1a’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS configures the new radio link to be added from cell 3 and then the SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message which includes IE "Radio Link Addition Information" and IE "Radio Link Removal Information", indicating the removal of cell 2 and addition of cell 3 into the active set, on DCCH using AM RLC.

When the UE receives this message, the UE shall configure layer 1 to begin reception without affecting the current uplink and downlink activities of existing radio links and then the UE removes the radio link specified in an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message. The UE shall transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T3" in table 8.3.4.3. The UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 1 according to IE “Intra-frequency event identity” which is set to ‘1b’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11.

After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS shall transmit a UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY message to confirm that the UE can respond to this message through the DPCH in cell 3. The UE shall transmit a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message. Then SS transmits a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T4" in table 8.3.4.3. The UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 3 according to IE “Intra-frequency event identity” which is set to ‘1b’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11.

After the MEASUREMENT REPORT is received, the SS shall transmit a UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY message to confirm that the UE can respond to this message through the DPCH in cell 1. The UE shall transmit a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message. Then SS transmits a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message.

Table 8.3.4.4 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

The UE establishes a radio access bearer in the CELL_DCH state in cell 1. SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.4.4. UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1a’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. SS then transmits an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 1 on DCCH using AM RLC which includes the same primary scrambling code in IE "Primary CPICH Info" of both IE "Radio Link Addition Information" and IE "Radio Link Removal Information". When the UE receives this message, it transmits an ACTIVE SET UPDATE FAILURE message which is set to "Invalid configuration" in IE "failure cause" on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC to the SS. UE then send another MEASUREMENT REPORT to SS 4s after step 2. SS calls for generic procedure C.3 to check that UE is in CELL_DCH state.

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

At the start of the test, the UE establishes a radio access bearer service in the CELL_FACH state in cell 1. SS then send a MEASUREMENT CONTROL message to UE. The UE shall perform periodical traffic volume measurement according to this message and then transmit MEASUREMENT REPORT message back to SS. The SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 1 on DCCH using AM RLC which includes the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" indicating the addition of cell 2 into the active set. When the UE receives this message, UE shall transmit ACTIVE SET UPDATE FAILURE message, with the IE "failure cause" set to the cause value "protocol error" and includes the IE "Protocol error information" with the IE "Protocol error cause" set to "Message not compatible with receiver state", on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC. UE shall continue its traffic volume measurement and send MEASUREMENT REPORT messages back to SS periodically. 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.

Upon reception of an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message the UE shall act upon all received information elements as specified in 8.6, unless specified otherwise in the following. The UE shall:

1> first add the RLs indicated in the IE "Radio Link Addition Information";

1> remove the RLs indicated in the IE "Radio Link Removal Information". If the UE active set is full or becomes full, an RL, which is included in the IE "Radio Link Removal Information" for removal, shall be removed before adding RL, which is included in the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" for addition;

1> perform the physical layer synchronisation procedure B as specified in TS 25.214;

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

1> clear that entry;

1> transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC without waiting for the completion of the Physical Layer synchronization B, specified in TS 25.214;

Table 8.3.4.9 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

At the start of the test, the UE is in CELL_DCH state and has a radio bearer mapped on HS-DSCH established in cell 1.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.4.9. UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1a’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS configures the new radio link to be added from cell 2 and then the SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 1 on DCCH using AM RLC which includes the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" (e.g. Downlink DPCH information and other optional parameters relevant for the additional radio links with Primary CPICH info used for the reference ID).

When the UE receives this message, the UE shall configure layer 1 to begin reception without affecting the current uplink and downlink activities of existing radio links. The UE shall transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T2" in table 8.3.4.9.

Table 8.3.4.10 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

The downlink transmission power is set according to values in column “T0” in table 8.3.4.10. The UE has a radio bearer mapped to the E-DCH/HS-DSCH and the signalling radio bearers mapped on E-DCH/DCH in cell 1.

The SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.4.10. The UE transmits a MEASUREMENT REPORT message, which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity" set to 1a.

The SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 1 on DCCH using AM RLC which adds a second radio link in cell 2 and also changes the E-DCH and HS-DSCH serving cell to cell 2. When the UE receives this message, the UE shall configure layer 1 to begin reception on DPCH as well as E-DCH transmission and HS-DSCH reception using the new radio link in cell 2. The UE shall transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

To check that the UE is sending to both cells of the active set, the SS triggers the UE to send a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION which it receives from the other cells than it has received the ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE.

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

8.3.4.11.1 Definition and applicability

All UEs which support FDD and UL DTX

8.3.4.11.2 Conformance requirement

Upon reception of an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message the UE shall act upon all received information elements as specified in 8.6, unless specified otherwise in the following.

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> first add the RLs indicated in the IE "Radio Link Addition Information";

1> transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC without waiting for the completion of the Physical Layer synchronisation B, as specified in TS 25.214;

1> the procedure ends on the UE side.

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.

If the UE receives RRC CONNECTION SETUP, ACTIVE SET UPDATE, CELL UPDATE CONFIRM, or any reconfiguration message:

1> the UE shall determine the value for the DTX_DRX_STATUS variable.

The variable DTX_DRX_STATUS shall be set to TRUE only when all the following conditions are met:

1> the UE is in CELL_DCH state;

1> both variables HS_DSCH RECEPTION and E_DCH_TRANSMISSION are set to TRUE;

1> no DCH transport channel is configured;

1> the variable DTX_DRX_PARAMS is set;

1> the UE has received the IE "DTX-DRX timing information".

If any of the above conditions is not met and the variable DTX_DRX_STATUS is set to TRUE, the UE shall:

1> set the variable DTX_DRX_STATUS to FALSE;

1> clear the variable DTX_DRX_PARAMS;

1> stop DTX-DRX mode related activities.

If variable DTX_DRX_STATUS is set to true and the serving HS-DSCH cell was changed as a result of the received message the UE shall instruct the physical layer to consider HS-SCCH orders were never received.

Whenever the variable DTX_DRX_STATUS is set to TRUE after receiving this message and the value of IE "DTX-DRX timing information" included in this message is not "Continue", the UE shall:

1> if the variable DTX_DRX_STATUS was set to TRUE before receiving this message:

2> re-configure the physical layer to perform discontinuous uplink DPCCH transmission and enable discontinuous downlink reception operations according to the variable DTX_DRX_PARAMS at the CFN corresponding to the frame boundary that is offset by the value of the IE "Enabling Delay" from the frame boundary where uplink transmission starts with new configuration;

2> let the MAC layer continue with the current restriction on E-DCH transmission and monitoring of absolute and relative grant channels from the frame boundary where the uplink transmission starts with the new configuration and for the duration of the IE "Enabling Delay".

1> else:

2> perform discontinuous uplink DPCCH transmission and enable discontinuous downlink reception operations by configuring the physical layer according to the variable DTX_DRX_PARAMS at the CFN corresponding to the frame boundary that is offset by the value of the IE "Enabling Delay" from the frame boundary where uplink transmission starts with new configuration.

1> configure the MAC layer to start restricting E-DCH transmissions and monitor absolute and relative grant channels at the CFN corresponding to the frame boundary that is offset by the value of IE "Enabling Delay" from the frame boundary where uplink transmission starts with new configuration taking into account the IEs "UE DTX DRX Offset", "MAC DTX Cycle", "MAC Inactivity Threshold" and "Inactivity Threshold for UE Grant Monitoring".

If the IE "DTX-DRX timing information" is included and the UE will be in CELL_DCH state after completion of this procedure, the UE shall:

1> if the CHOICE "timing" is set to "New timing":

2> use the newly received DTX-DRX timing configuration.

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

If the IE "DTX–DRX information" is included and the UE will be in CELL_DCH state after completion of this procedure, the UE shall:

1> store the contents of the IE in the variable DTX_DRX_PARAMS;

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

1> if the value of the IE "UE DTX cycle 2" is not an integer multiple of the value of the IE "UE DTX cycle 1"; or

1> if the value of the IE "UE DTX cycle 2" is not an integer multiple or a divisor of the value of the IE "CQI Feedback cycle, k"; or

1> if the value of the IE "UE DPCCH burst 1" is greater than the value of the IE "UE DTX cycle 1"; or

1> if the value of the IE "UE DPCCH burst 2" is greater than the value of the IE "UE DTX cycle 2"; or

1> if the IE "UE DTX long preamble length" is set to 4 or 15 slots and the value of the IE "Inactivity Threshold for UE DTX cycle 2" is less than 4 TTIs (for 10ms E-DCH TTI) or 8 TTIs (for 2ms E-DCH TTI); or

1> if the IE "UE DRX cycle" is not an integer multiple or a divisor of the value of the IE "UE DTX cycle 1"; or

1> if the IE "DRX Information" is included in this message while the IE "DTX information" is not included in this message; or

1> if the value of the IE "UE DTX cycle 1" is not an integer multiple or a divisor of the value of the IE "MAC DTX cycle":

Table 8.3.4.11 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 3 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

The downlink transmission power is set according to values in column “T0” in table 8.3.4.11. The UE has a radio bearer mapped to the E-DCH/HS-DSCH with UL DTX configured and the signalling radio bearers mapped on E-DCH/DCH in cell 1.

The SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.4.11. The UE transmits a MEASUREMENT REPORT message, which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity" set to 1a.

The SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 1 on DCCH using AM RLC which adds a second radio link in cell 2 and also changes the E-DCH and HS-DSCH serving cell to cell 2. When the UE receives this message, the UE shall configure layer 1 to begin E-DCH transmission and HS-DSCH reception, with UL DPCCH discontinuous transmission, using the new radio link in cell 2. The UE shall transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

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 if 2ms TTI is used, or 400ms if 10ms TTI is used.

The SS shall transmit a UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY message to confirm that the UE can respond this message through the E-DCH in cell 1 and cell 2. The UE shall transmit a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message. Then SS transmits a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message.

The SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T2" in table 8.3.4.11. UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 3. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS configures the new radio link to be added for non CPC cell 3 and then the SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message on DCCH using AM RLC which includes the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" (e.g. Downlink F-DPCH information and other optional parameters relevant for the additional radio links with Primary CPICH info used for the reference ID). As discontinuous transmission is not configured by ACTIVE SET UPDATE, the UE sets up continuous transmission on all cells.

To check that the UE is sending to all cells of the active set, the SS triggers the UE to send a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION which it receives from the cells which received the ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE.

The SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T3" in table 8.3.4.11. The UE shall transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which indicates the event ‘1b’ for cell 3.

The SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 1 and 2 on DCCH using AM RLC which removes a radio link in cell 3. When the UE receives this message, the UE shall set up UL DPCCH discontinuous transmission on all cells. The UE shall transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

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 if 2ms TTI is used, or 400ms if 10ms TTI is used.

The SS shall transmit a UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY message to confirm that the UE can respond this message through the E-DCH in cell 1 and cell 2. The UE shall transmit a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message. Then SS transmits a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message.

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

Table 8.3.4.12 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

The UE is brought to the CELL_DCH state after a successful incoming call attempt. The SS follows the procedure in TS 34.108 clause 7.1.3 (Mobile Terminated), to set up a user RAB, but with the default RAB replaced by the one described in 34.108, clause 6.10.2.4.6.3: Interactive or background / PS RAB + SRBs mapped onto E-DCH and HS-DSCH.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.4.12. UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1a’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS configures the new radio link to be added from cell 2 and then the SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 1 on DCCH using AM RLC which includes the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" and UL 16QAM parameters.

When the UE receives this message, the UE shall configure layer 1 to begin reception without affecting the current downlink activities of existing radio links. Uplink should be configured for 16QAM transmission. The UE shall transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC. UL 16QAM transmission should be checked by SS

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T2" in table 8.3.4.12. UE shall transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1b’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS remove the radio link from cell 2 and then SS transmits an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message, which includes IE "Radio Link Removal Information" and specifying the P-CPICH information of the cell to be removed.

When the UE receives this message, the UE RRC entity shall request UE L1 entity to terminate transmission and reception of the radio link from cell 2. Then the UE transmits an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC. UL 16 QAM is still active on cell 1.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T3" in table 8.3.4.12. UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1a’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS configures the new radio link to be added from cell 2 and then the SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 1 on DCCH using AM RLC which includes the IE "Radio Link Addition Information", excludes UL 16QAM settings and also changes the E-DCH and HS-DSCH serving cell to cell 2. When the UE receives this message, the UE RRC entity shall request UE L1 entity to terminate transmission and reception of the radio link from cell 1

The UE shall then transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC UE should revert to normal E-DCH transmission and this should be checked by SS on cell 2.

Table 8.3.4.13 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.4.13. UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1a’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS configures the new radio link to be added from cell 2 and then the SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 1 on DCCH using AM RLC which includes the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" and DL 64QAM parameters. When the UE receives this message, the UE shall configure layer 1 to begin E-DCH transmission and HS-DSCH reception, with DL 64QAM, using the new radio link and making cell 2 the serving cell. The UE shall transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC. The SS transmits a UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY message on DL SRB2 using the configured 64QAM parameters and the UE shall respond with a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message. The SS completes the procedure by transmitting a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message, using 64QAM, to the UE.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T2" in table 8.3.4.13. UE shall transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 1 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1b’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS will remove the radio link from cell 1 and then SS transmits an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message, which includes IE "Radio Link Removal Information" and specifying the P-CPICH information of the cell to be removed. This also stops HS-DSCH transmission using DL 64AM modulation. When the UE receives this message, the UE RRC entity shall request UE L1 entity to terminate transmission and reception of the radio link from cell 1. Then the UE transmits an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC. The SS transmits a UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY message on DL SRB2 and the UE shall respond with a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message. The SS completes the procedure by transmitting a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message to the UE.

Table 8.3.4.13a illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.4.13a. UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1a’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS configures the new radio link to be added from cell 2 and then the SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 1 on DCCH using AM RLC which includes the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" and DL 64QAM parameters. When the UE receives this message, the UE shall configure layer 1 to begin E-DCH transmission and HS-DSCH reception, with DL 64QAM, using the new radio link and making cell 2 the serving cell. The UE shall transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T2" in table 8.3.4.13a. UE shall transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 1 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1b’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS will remove the radio link from cell 1 and then SS transmits an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message, which includes IE "Radio Link Removal Information" and specifying the P-CPICH information of the cell to be removed. This also stops HS-DSCH transmission using DL 64AM modulation. When the UE receives this message, the UE RRC entity shall request UE L1 entity to terminate transmission and reception of the radio link from cell 1. Then the UE transmits an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

Table 8.3.4.14 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 3 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.4.14-2. UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1a’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS configures the new radio link to be added from cell 2 and then the SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 1 on DCCH using AM RLC which includes the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" and MIMO configuration. When the UE receives this message, the UE shall activate MIMO reception and configure SRB and user plane bearers for HS-DSCH reception (L1 configured for MIMO on separate antennae) using the new radio link with cell 2 as the serving cell. The UE shall respond with ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC. The SS transmits a UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY message on DL SRB2 using MIMO configuration. The UE shall respond with a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message. The SS completes this part of the procedure by transmitting a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message to the UE with SRB using MIMO configuration.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T2" in table 8.3.4.14-2. UE shall transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 1 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1b’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS will remove the radio link from cell 1 and then SS transmits an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message using MIMO, which includes IE "Radio Link Removal Information" and specifying the S-CPICH information of the cell to be removed. When the UE receives this message, the UE RRC entity shall request UE L1 entity to terminate transmission and reception of the radio link from cell 1. Then the UE transmits an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC on SRB2. The SS transmits a UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY message on DL SRB2 from Cell 2 using MIMO configuration and the UE shall respond with a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message. The SS completes this part of the procedure by transmitting a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message to the UE with SRB configured for MIMO.

The SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T3" in table 8.3.4.14-2. UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 3 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1a’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS configures the new radio link to be added from cell 3 and then the SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 2 on DCCH using AM RLC and MIMO configuration which includes the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" and MIMO parameters. When the UE receives this message, the UE shall maintain MIMO reception but with Cell 3 as the serving cell. The UE shall respond with ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC. The SS transmits a UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY message on DL SRB2 using MIMO configuration. The UE shall respond with a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message. The SS completes this part of the procedure by transmitting a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message to the UE with SRB configured for MIMO.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T4" in table 8.3.4.14-2. UE shall transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1b’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS will remove the radio link from cell 1 and then SS transmits an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message, which includes IE "Radio Link Removal Information" and specifying the S-CPICH information of the cell to be removed.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T5" in table 8.3.4.14-2. UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 1 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1a’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS configures the new radio link to be added from cell 3 and then the SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message from cell 1 on DCCH using MIMO configuration which includes the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" but no MIMO parameters in RRC message. When the UE receives this message, the UE shall deactivate MIMO reception and use cell 1 as the serving cell. The UE shall respond with ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC. The SS transmits a UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY message on DL SRB2 on HS-DSCH. The UE shall respond with a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message.

Table 8.3.4.14a illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 3 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.4.14a-2. UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1a’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS configures the new radio link to be added from cell 2 and then the SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 1 on DCCH using AM RLC which includes the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" and MIMO configuration. When the UE receives this message, the UE shall activate MIMO reception (L1 configured for MIMO on separate antennae) using the new radio link with cell 2 as the serving cell. The UE shall respond with ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC. SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T2" in table 8.3.4.14a-2. UE shall transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 1 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1b’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS will remove the radio link from cell 1 and then SS transmits an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message using MIMO, which includes IE "Radio Link Removal Information" and specifying the S-CPICH information of the cell to be removed. When the UE receives this message, the UE RRC entity shall request UE L1 entity to terminate transmission and reception of the radio link from cell 1. Then the UE transmits an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC on SRB2.

The SS will transmit a RLC PDU on DTCH on the MIMO configuration (L1 configured for MIMO on separate antennae). The SS waits for the RLC PDU to be sent back in the UPLINK and verifies the PDU content.

The SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T3" in table 8.3.4.14a-2. UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 3 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1a’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS configures the new radio link to be added from cell 3 and then the SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 2 on DCCH using AM RLC which includes the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" and MIMO parameters. When the UE receives this message, the UE shall maintain MIMO reception but with Cell 3 as the serving cell. The UE shall respond with ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC. SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T4" in table 8.3.4.14a-2. UE shall transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1b’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS will remove the radio link from cell 1 and then SS transmits an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message, which includes IE "Radio Link Removal Information" and specifying the S-CPICH information of the cell to be removed.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T5" in table 8.3.4.14a-2. UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 1 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1a’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS configures the new radio link to be added from cell 3 and then the SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message from cell 1 on DCCH which includes the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" but no MIMO parameters in RRC message. When the UE receives this message, the UE shall deactivate MIMO reception and use cell 1 as the serving cell. The UE shall respond with ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

8.3.4.14a.5 Test requirements

At steps 3, 8, 13, 18, 23 the UE shall transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

At steps 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 the UE shall transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC to acknowledge the previous ACTIVE SET UPDATE and indicate readiness to accept the new configuration at activation time.

8.3.4.15 Active set update: Dual Cell (DC) Activation by Serving Cell Change from non DC-HSDPA capable cell to DC-HSDPA capable cell

8.3.4.15.1 Definition and applicability

All UE categories which support Dual Cell HSDPA. UE supports F-DPCH or Enhanced F-DPCH.

          1. Conformance requirement

The purpose of the active set update procedure is to update the active set of the connection between the UE and UTRAN. This procedure shall be used in CELL_DCH state. The UE should keep on using the old RLs while configuring the new RLs. Also the UE should keep the transmitter turned on during the procedure. This procedure is only used in FDD mode.

The procedure is initiated when UTRAN orders a UE in CELL_DCH state, to make the following modifications of the active set of the connection:

a) Radio link addition;

b) Radio link removal;

c) Combined radio link addition and removal;

d) Addition of a radio link to the E-DCH active set;

e) Removal of a radio link from the E-DCH active set.

The procedure also allows the addition or removal of a radio link on a secondary serving HS-DSCH cell. Radio links on the secondary serving HS-DSCH cell are not part of the active set.

In case a) and c), UTRAN should:

1> prepare new additional radio link(s) in the UTRAN prior to the command to the UE.

In all cases, UTRAN should:

1> send an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message on downlink DCCH using AM or UM RLC;

1> create active sets that contain at least one common radio link across a DPCH or F-DPCH frame boundary as the result of one or multiple (parallel) active set update procedures.

UTRAN should include the following information:

1> IE "Radio Link Addition Information": Downlink DPCH information and other optional parameters relevant for the radio links to be added along with the IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID to indicate which radio link to add. This IE is needed in cases a) and c) listed above;

1> IE "Downlink Secondary Cell Info FDD": Downlink optional parameters relevant to reception of secondary serving HS-DSCH cell;

1> IE "Radio Link Removal Information": IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID to indicate which radio link to remove. This IE is needed in cases b) and c) listed above;

1> IE "E-DCH reconfiguration information": IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID along with the IE "E-HICH information" to indicate which radio link to add to the E-DCH active set. This IE is needed in case d) above, when the RL added to the E-DCH active set is already in the DCH active set;

1> IE "E-DCH reconfiguration information": IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID along with the IE "E-HICH release indicator" to indicate which radio link to remove from the E-DCH active set. This IE is needed in case e) above, when the RL removed from the E-DCH active set remains in the DCH active set.

Upon reception of an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message the UE shall act upon all received information elements as specified in 8.6, unless specified otherwise in the following.

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> first add the RLs indicated in the IE "Radio Link Addition Information";

1> remove the RLs indicated in the IE "Radio Link Removal Information". If the UE active set is full or becomes full, an RL, which is included in the IE "Radio Link Removal Information" for removal, shall be removed before adding RL, which is included in the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" for addition;

1> if "Serving HS-DSCH cell information" IE is present, act on received information elements as specified in subclause 8.6:

2> if the IEs "ACK", "NACK", and "HARQ_preamble_mode" are present, act on the received information elements;

2> if the new H-RNTI and "Primary CPICH info" are included:

3> consider the cell indicated in Primary CPICH as serving HS-DSCH cell and no longer consider any other radio link as serving HS-DSCH cell. If the IE "Downlink Secondary Cell Info FDD" is included for a cell associated with the serving HS-DSCH cell, consider that cell a secondary serving HS-DSCH cell.

2> if the IE "MAC-hs reset indicator" is included:

3> reset the MAC-hs/ehs entity [15].

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

Note 1: DC HSDPA Cell test frequencies are specified in [9] cl 5.1.1 for the operating band under test. For the secondary Cell 3 no other common physical channel other than CPICH shall be configured [5] cl. 4.2.4. The SFN and Tcell of the secondary cell are the same as the serving cell [29] cl. 7.1.

Table 8.3.4.15 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 3 cells at various time instants of the test execution. Note that Cell 2 and cell 3 are configured as DC HSDPA Cells with Cell 2 as the Anchor Carrier and Cell 3 as the Secondary Carrier cell (definitions according to TS 25.825 section 4.2.1).

The downlink transmission power is set according to values in column “T0” in table 8.3.4.15. The UE has user plane and signalling radio bearers mapped on E-DCH/HS-DSCH in cell 1.

The SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.4.15. The UE transmits a MEASUREMENT REPORT message, which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity" set to 1a.

The SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 1 on DCCH using AM RLC which adds a second radio link in cell 2, changes the E-DCH and HS-DSCH serving cell to cell 2 and includes Downlink Secondary Cell 3 parameters. When the UE receives this message, the UE shall configure layer 1 to begin E-DCH transmission and HS-DSCH reception using the new radio links on Anchor Carrier Cell 2 and Secondary Carrier Cell 3. The UE shall transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC. SS checks that this RRC message is received on Anchor Carrier Cell 2.

To check that the UE has performed serving cell change to DC HSDPA Cell, the SS sends UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY on both Anchor Carrier Cell 2 and Secondary Carrier Cell 3 using SRB2 mapped onto HS-DSCH. The UE shall respond to each message in turn with UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message sent to Anchor Carrier Cell 2. The SS completes the procedure by transmitting a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message.

8.3.4.15.5 Test requirements

At step 3 the UE shall transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

At step 6 the UE shall transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC to acknowledge the completion of the active set addition procedure, the change of serving cell to DC HSDPA.

At step 8 and step 11 the UE should transmit UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION on SRB2.

8.3.4.15a Active set update: Dual Cell (DC) Activation by Serving Cell Change from non DC-HSDPA capable cell to DC-HSDPA capable cell with SRB mapped on E-DCH/DCH

8.3.4.15a.1 Definition and applicability

All UE categories which support Dual Cell HSDPA.

8.3.4.15a.2 Conformance requirement

The purpose of the active set update procedure is to update the active set of the connection between the UE and UTRAN. This procedure shall be used in CELL_DCH state. The UE should keep on using the old RLs while configuring the new RLs. Also the UE should keep the transmitter turned on during the procedure. This procedure is only used in FDD mode.

The procedure is initiated when UTRAN orders a UE in CELL_DCH state, to make the following modifications of the active set of the connection:

a) Radio link addition;

b) Radio link removal;

c) Combined radio link addition and removal;

d) Addition of a radio link to the E-DCH active set;

e) Removal of a radio link from the E-DCH active set.

The procedure also allows the addition or removal of a radio link on a secondary serving HS-DSCH cell. Radio links on the secondary serving HS-DSCH cell are not part of the active set.

In case a) and c), UTRAN should:

1> prepare new additional radio link(s) in the UTRAN prior to the command to the UE.

In all cases, UTRAN should:

1> send an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message on downlink DCCH using AM or UM RLC;

1> create active sets that contain at least one common radio link across a DPCH or F-DPCH frame boundary as the result of one or multiple (parallel) active set update procedures.

UTRAN should include the following information:

1> IE "Radio Link Addition Information": Downlink DPCH information and other optional parameters relevant for the radio links to be added along with the IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID to indicate which radio link to add. This IE is needed in cases a) and c) listed above;

1> IE "Downlink Secondary Cell Info FDD": Downlink optional parameters relevant to reception of secondary serving HS-DSCH cell;

1> IE "Radio Link Removal Information": IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID to indicate which radio link to remove. This IE is needed in cases b) and c) listed above;

1> IE "E-DCH reconfiguration information": IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID along with the IE "E-HICH information" to indicate which radio link to add to the E-DCH active set. This IE is needed in case d) above, when the RL added to the E-DCH active set is already in the DCH active set;

1> IE "E-DCH reconfiguration information": IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID along with the IE "E-HICH release indicator" to indicate which radio link to remove from the E-DCH active set. This IE is needed in case e) above, when the RL removed from the E-DCH active set remains in the DCH active set.

Upon reception of an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message the UE shall act upon all received information elements as specified in 8.6, unless specified otherwise in the following.

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> first add the RLs indicated in the IE "Radio Link Addition Information";

1> remove the RLs indicated in the IE "Radio Link Removal Information". If the UE active set is full or becomes full, an RL, which is included in the IE "Radio Link Removal Information" for removal, shall be removed before adding RL, which is included in the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" for addition;

1> if "Serving HS-DSCH cell information" IE is present, act on received information elements as specified in subclause 8.6:

2> if the IEs "ACK", "NACK", and "HARQ_preamble_mode" are present, act on the received information elements;

2> if the new H-RNTI and "Primary CPICH info" are included:

3> consider the cell indicated in Primary CPICH as serving HS-DSCH cell and no longer consider any other radio link as serving HS-DSCH cell. If the IE "Downlink Secondary Cell Info FDD" is included for a cell associated with the serving HS-DSCH cell, consider that cell a secondary serving HS-DSCH cell.

2> if the IE "MAC-hs reset indicator" is included:

3> reset the MAC-hs/ehs entity [15].

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

…..

If the IE "RB mapping info" is included, the UE shall:

For FDD the list of multiplexing options configured in the UE for each RB and SRB should comply with the following rules otherwise the UE behaviour is not specified:

– …

– at most one multiplexing option can contain the combination "DCH" or "DCH + HS-DSCH" for the DL together with "DCH" for the UL;

– at most one multiplexing option can contain the combination "HS-DSCH" or "DCH + HS-DSCH" for the DL together with "DCH" for the UL;

– …

Table 8.3.4.15a illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 3 cells at various time instants of the test execution. Note that Cell 2 and cell 3 are configured as DC HSDPA Cells with Cell 2 as the Anchor Carrier and Cell 3 as the Secondary Carrier cell.

The downlink transmission power is set according to values in column “T0” in table 8.3.4.15a. The UE has user plane mapped on E-DCH/HS-DSCH and signalling radio bearers mapped on E-DCH/DCH in cell 1.

The SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.4.15a. The UE transmits a MEASUREMENT REPORT message, which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity" set to 1a.

The SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 1 on DCCH using AM RLC which adds a second radio link in cell 2, changes the E-DCH and HS-DSCH serving cell to cell 2 and includes Downlink Secondary Cell 3 parameters. When the UE receives this message, the UE shall configure layer 1 to begin E-DCH transmission and HS-DSCH reception using the new radio links on Anchor Carrier Cell 2 and Secondary Carrier Cell 3. The UE shall transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC. SS checks that this RRC message is received on Anchor Carrier Cell 2.

To check that the UE has performed serving cell change to DC HSDPA Cell , SS monitors CQI reports on HS-DPCCH received from the UE on Cell 2.

8.3.4.16.1 Definition and applicability

All UE categories which support Dual Cell HSDPA. UE supports F-DPCH or Enhanced F-DPCH.

8.3.4.16.2 Conformance requirement

The purpose of the active set update procedure is to update the active set of the connection between the UE and UTRAN. This procedure shall be used in CELL_DCH state. The UE should keep on using the old RLs while configuring the new RLs. Also the UE should keep the transmitter turned on during the procedure. This procedure is only used in FDD mode.

The procedure is initiated when UTRAN orders a UE in CELL_DCH state, to make the following modifications of the active set of the connection:

a) Radio link addition;

b) Radio link removal;

c) Combined radio link addition and removal;

d) Addition of a radio link to the E-DCH active set;

e) Removal of a radio link from the E-DCH active set.

The procedure also allows the addition or removal of a radio link on a secondary serving HS-DSCH cell. Radio links on the secondary serving HS-DSCH cell are not part of the active set.

In case a) and c), UTRAN should:

1> prepare new additional radio link(s) in the UTRAN prior to the command to the UE.

In all cases, UTRAN should:

1> send an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message on downlink DCCH using AM or UM RLC;

Note 1: DC HSDPA Cell test frequencies are specified in [9] section 5.1.1 for the operating band under test. For the secondary Cell 3 no other common physical channel other than CPICH shall be configured [5] cl. 4.2.4. The SFN and Tcell of the secondary cell are the same as the serving cell [29] cl. 7.1

Table 8.3.4.16 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 3 cells at various time instants of the test execution. Note that Cell 2 and Cell 3 are DC HSDPA Cells with Cell 2 configured as the primary carrier and Cell 3 configured as the secondary cell (definition according to TS 25.825 section 4.2.1).

The SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.4.16. The UE transmits a MEASUREMENT REPORT message, which includes the primary scrambling code for Cell 1 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity" set to 1a.

The SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 2 on DCCH using AM RLC which adds a second radio link in cell 1and changes the E-DCH and HS-DSCH serving cell from DC-HSDPA Cell (2,3) to cell 1. When the UE receives this message, at the activation time, the UE shall configure layer 1 to begin E-DCH transmission and HS-DSCH reception using the new radio link on primary cell 1. The UE shall transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC. SS checks that this RRC messages is received on Cell 1.

The SS transmits UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY from Cell 1. The UE shall respond with UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION. SS completes the procedure by transmitting a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message.

8.3.4.16.5 Test requirements

At step 3 the UE shall transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

At step 6 the UE shall transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC to acknowledge the completion of the active set addition procedure and the change of serving cell.

At step 12 the UE should transmit UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION on SRB2.

8.3.4.16a Active set update: Dual Cell (DC) Activation by Serving Cell Change from DC-HSDPA capable cell to non DC-HSDPA capable cell with SRB mapped on E-DCH/DCH

8.3.4.16a.1 Definition and applicability

All UE categories which support Dual Cell HSDPA.

8.3.4.16a.2 Conformance requirement

The purpose of the active set update procedure is to update the active set of the connection between the UE and UTRAN. This procedure shall be used in CELL_DCH state. The UE should keep on using the old RLs while configuring the new RLs. Also the UE should keep the transmitter turned on during the procedure. This procedure is only used in FDD mode.

The procedure is initiated when UTRAN orders a UE in CELL_DCH state, to make the following modifications of the active set of the connection:

a) Radio link addition;

b) Radio link removal;

c) Combined radio link addition and removal;

d) Addition of a radio link to the E-DCH active set;

e) Removal of a radio link from the E-DCH active set.

The procedure also allows the addition or removal of a radio link on a secondary serving HS-DSCH cell. Radio links on the secondary serving HS-DSCH cell are not part of the active set.

In case a) and c), UTRAN should:

1> prepare new additional radio link(s) in the UTRAN prior to the command to the UE.

In all cases, UTRAN should:

1> send an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message on downlink DCCH using AM or UM RLC;

1> create active sets that contain at least one common radio link across a DPCH or F-DPCH frame boundary as the result of one or multiple (parallel) active set update procedures.

UTRAN should include the following information:

1> IE "Radio Link Addition Information": Downlink DPCH information and other optional parameters relevant for the radio links to be added along with the IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID to indicate which radio link to add. This IE is needed in cases a) and c) listed above;

1> IE "Downlink Secondary Cell Info FDD": Downlink optional parameters relevant to reception of secondary serving HS-DSCH cell;

1> IE "Radio Link Removal Information": IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID to indicate which radio link to remove. This IE is needed in cases b) and c) listed above;

1> IE "E-DCH reconfiguration information": IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID along with the IE "E-HICH information" to indicate which radio link to add to the E-DCH active set. This IE is needed in case d) above, when the RL added to the E-DCH active set is already in the DCH active set;

1> IE "E-DCH reconfiguration information": IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID along with the IE "E-HICH release indicator" to indicate which radio link to remove from the E-DCH active set. This IE is needed in case e) above, when the RL removed from the E-DCH active set remains in the DCH active set.

Upon reception of an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message the UE shall act upon all received information elements as specified in 8.6, unless specified otherwise in the following.

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> first add the RLs indicated in the IE "Radio Link Addition Information";

1> remove the RLs indicated in the IE "Radio Link Removal Information". If the UE active set is full or becomes full, an RL, which is included in the IE "Radio Link Removal Information" for removal, shall be removed before adding RL, which is included in the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" for addition;

1> if "Serving HS-DSCH cell information" IE is present, act on received information elements as specified in subclause 8.6:

2> if the IEs "ACK", "NACK", and "HARQ_preamble_mode" are present, act on the received information elements;

2> if the new H-RNTI and "Primary CPICH info" are included:

3> consider the cell indicated in Primary CPICH as serving HS-DSCH cell and no longer consider any other radio link as serving HS-DSCH cell. If the IE "Downlink Secondary Cell Info FDD" is included for a cell associated with the serving HS-DSCH cell, consider that cell a secondary serving HS-DSCH cell.

2> if the IE "MAC-hs reset indicator" is included:

3> reset the MAC-hs/ehs entity [15].

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

If the IE "RB mapping info" is included, the UE shall:

For FDD the list of multiplexing options configured in the UE for each RB and SRB should comply with the following rules otherwise the UE behaviour is not specified:

– …

– at most one multiplexing option can contain the combination "DCH" or "DCH + HS-DSCH" for the DL together with "DCH" for the UL;

– at most one multiplexing option can contain the combination "HS-DSCH" or "DCH + HS-DSCH" for the DL together with "DCH" for the UL;

– …

Table 8.3.4.17 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 3 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.4.17-2. UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1a’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS configures the new radio link to be added from cell 2 and then the SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 1 on DCCH using AM RLC which includes the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" and 64QAM and MIMO configuration. At the activation time, the UE shall activate 64QAM and MIMO reception and configure SRB and user plane bearers for HS-DSCH reception (L1 configured for 64QAM and MIMO on separate antennae) using the new radio link with cell 2 as the serving cell. The UE shall respond with ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC. The SS transmits a UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY message on DL SRB2 using 64QAM and MIMO configuration. The UE shall respond with a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message. The SS completes this part of the procedure by transmitting a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message to the UE with SRB configured for 64QAM and MIMO.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T2" in table 8.3.4.17-2. UE shall transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 1 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1b’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS will remove the radio link from cell 1 and then SS transmits an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message using 64QAM and MIMO configuration, which includes IE "Radio Link Removal Information" and specifying the P-CPICH information of the cell to be removed. When the UE receives this message, the UE RRC entity shall request UE L1 entity to terminate transmission and reception of the radio link from cell 1. Then the UE transmits an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC on SRB2. The SS transmits a UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY message on DL SRB2 from Cell 2 using 64QAM and MIMO configuration and the UE shall respond with a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message. The SS completes this part of the procedure by transmitting a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message to the UE with SRB configured for 64QAM and MIMO.

The SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T3" in table 8.3.4.17-2. UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 3 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1a’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS configures the new radio link to be added from cell 3 and then the SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 2 on DCCH using AM RLC and 64QAM and MIMO configuration which includes the IE "Radio Link Addition Information". At the activation time, the UE shall maintain 64QAM and MIMO reception but with Cell 3 as the serving cell. The UE shall respond with ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC. The SS transmits a UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY message on DL SRB2 using 64QAM and MIMO configuration. The UE shall respond with a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message. The SS completes this part of the procedure by transmitting a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message to the UE with SRB configured for 64QAM and MIMO.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T4" in table 8.3.4.17-2. UE shall transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1b’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS will remove the radio link from cell 2 and then SS transmits an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message, which includes IE "Radio Link Removal Information" and specifying the P-CPICH information of the cell to be removed.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T5" in table 8.3.4.17-2. UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 1 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1a’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS configures the new radio link to be added from cell 1 and then the SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message from cell 3 on DCCH using MIMO configuration which includes the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" but with no MIMO or 64QAM parameters in RRC message. When the UE receives this message, the UE shall deactivate 64QAM and MIMO reception and use cell 1 as the serving cell. The UE shall respond with ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC. The SS transmits a UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY message on DL SRB2 on HS-DSCH using QPSK. The UE shall respond with a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message.

8.3.4.17.5 Test requirements

At steps 3, 11, 16, 24, 29 the UE shall transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

At steps 5, 13, 18 and 26, 31 the UE shall transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC to acknowledge the previous ACTIVE SET UPDATE and indicate readiness to accept the new configuration at activation time.

At step 8, 21, 34, the UE should transmit UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION on SRB2.

8.3.4.18 Test procedure for enhanced serving HS-DSCH cell change: serving HS-DSCH / E-DCH cell change, with discontinuous uplink transmission and downlink reception

8.3.4.18.1 Definition and applicability

All UEs which support FDD,UL DTX,DPCCH Discontinuous Transmission and Target Cell Pre-Configuration.

8.3.4.18.2 Conformance requirement

For the measurement, which triggered the MEASUREMENT REPORT message, the UE shall:

1> if the measurement report is triggered by intra frequency event 1d and the table "Target cell preconfigurations" in the variable TARGET_CELL_PRECONFIGURATION includes the Radio link that triggered the event:

2> if an "Activation time offset" different from 0 is configured for the target cell, include the IE "Activation time" in MEASUREMENT REPORT message. The Activation time shall be calculated by adding the Activation time offset to the current CFN:

3> start continuous monitoring of target cell HS-SCCH indexed as number 1 in IE "Serving HS-DSCH cell information" in the stored configuration;

3> stop monitoring target cell HS-SCCH at Activation time.

2> else:

3> start if not running, or restart if running, timer T324;

3> start continuous monitoring of target cell HS-SCCH indexed as number 1 in IE "Serving HS-DSCH cell information" in the stored configuration until the expiry of timer T324.

Upon reception of an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message the UE shall act upon all received information elements as specified in 8.6, unless specified otherwise in the following.

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> first add the RLs indicated in the IE "Radio Link Addition Information";

1> transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC without waiting for the completion of the Physical Layer synchronisation B, as specified in TS 25.214;

1> the procedure ends on the UE side.

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.

If the UE receives RRC CONNECTION SETUP, ACTIVE SET UPDATE, CELL UPDATE CONFIRM, or any reconfiguration message:

1> the UE shall determine the value for the DTX_DRX_STATUS variable.

The variable DTX_DRX_STATUS shall be set to TRUE only when all the following conditions are met:

1> the UE is in CELL_DCH state;

1> both variables HS_DSCH RECEPTION and E_DCH_TRANSMISSION are set to TRUE;

1> no DCH transport channel is configured;

1> the variable DTX_DRX_PARAMS is set;

1> the UE has received the IE "DTX-DRX timing information".

If any of the above conditions is not met and the variable DTX_DRX_STATUS is set to TRUE, the UE shall:

1> set the variable DTX_DRX_STATUS to FALSE;

1> clear the variable DTX_DRX_PARAMS;

1> stop DTX-DRX mode related activities.

If variable DTX_DRX_STATUS is set to true and the serving HS-DSCH cell was changed as a result of the received message the UE shall instruct the physical layer to consider HS-SCCH orders were never received.

Whenever the variable DTX_DRX_STATUS is set to TRUE after receiving this message and the value of IE "DTX-DRX timing information" included in this message is not "Continue", the UE shall:

1> if the variable DTX_DRX_STATUS was set to TRUE before receiving this message:

2> re-configure the physical layer to perform discontinuous uplink DPCCH transmission and enable discontinuous downlink reception operations according to the variable DTX_DRX_PARAMS at the CFN corresponding to the frame boundary that is offset by the value of the IE "Enabling Delay" from the frame boundary where uplink transmission starts with new configuration;

2> let the MAC layer continue with the current restriction on E-DCH transmission and monitoring of absolute and relative grant channels from the frame boundary where the uplink transmission starts with the new configuration and for the duration of the IE "Enabling Delay".

1> else:

2> perform discontinuous uplink DPCCH transmission and enable discontinuous downlink reception operations by configuring the physical layer according to the variable DTX_DRX_PARAMS at the CFN corresponding to the frame boundary that is offset by the value of the IE "Enabling Delay" from the frame boundary where uplink transmission starts with new configuration.

1> configure the MAC layer to start restricting E-DCH transmissions and monitor absolute and relative grant channels at the CFN corresponding to the frame boundary that is offset by the value of IE "Enabling Delay" from the frame boundary where uplink transmission starts with new configuration taking into account the IEs "UE DTX DRX Offset", "MAC DTX Cycle", "MAC Inactivity Threshold" and "Inactivity Threshold for UE Grant Monitoring".

If the IE "DTX-DRX timing information" is included and the UE will be in CELL_DCH state after completion of this procedure, the UE shall:

1> if the CHOICE "timing" is set to "New timing":

2> use the newly received DTX-DRX timing configuration.

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

If the IE "DTX–DRX information" is included and the UE will be in CELL_DCH state after completion of this procedure, the UE shall:

1> store the contents of the IE in the variable DTX_DRX_PARAMS;

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

1> if the value of the IE "UE DTX cycle 2" is not an integer multiple of the value of the IE "UE DTX cycle 1"; or

1> if the value of the IE "UE DTX cycle 2" is not an integer multiple or a divisor of the value of the IE "CQI Feedback cycle, k"; or

1> if the value of the IE "UE DPCCH burst 1" is greater than the value of the IE "UE DTX cycle 1"; or

1> if the value of the IE "UE DPCCH burst 2" is greater than the value of the IE "UE DTX cycle 2"; or

1> if the IE "UE DTX long preamble length" is set to 4 or 15 slots and the value of the IE "Inactivity Threshold for UE DTX cycle 2" is less than 4 TTIs (for 10ms E-DCH TTI) or 8 TTIs (for 2ms E-DCH TTI); or

1> if the IE "UE DRX cycle" is not an integer multiple or a divisor of the value of the IE "UE DTX cycle 1"; or

1> if the IE "DRX Information" is included in this message while the IE "DTX information" is not included in this message; or

1> if the value of the IE "UE DTX cycle 1" is not an integer multiple or a divisor of the value of the IE "MAC DTX cycle":

2> the UE behaviour is unspecified.

Table 8.3.4.18 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

The downlink transmission power is set according to values in column “T0” in table 8.3.4.18. The UE has a radio bearer mapped to the E-DCH/HS-DSCH and the signalling radio bearers mapped on E-DCH/HS-DSCH in cell 1.

The SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.4.18. The UE transmits a MEASUREMENT REPORT message, which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity" set to 1a.

The SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 1 on DCCH using AM RLC which adds a second radio link in cell 2 with preconfiguration and DTX-DRX information for cell 1. The SS sets the IE “Activation Time offset” to 4, which indicates to UE the enhanced serving HS-DSCH cell change is a synchronized handover procedure. When the UE receives this message, the UE shall configure layer 1 to begin E-DCH transmission, with UL DPCCH discontinuous transmission. Cell 1 shall be kept as the serving HS-DSCH cell. The UE shall transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

The SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T2" in table 8.3.4.18. The SS sends a MEASUREMENT CONTROL message to the UE configuring event 1D “Change of best cell”, and the UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE “Intra-frequency event identity” set to 1d. UE shall calculate “Activation Time” according to “Activation Time offset” in ACTIVE SET UPDATE message, and include the “Activation Time” in MEASUREMNT REPORT message.

The SS shall not send any HSDPA data on cell 1 after the start of T2. During time period T2 UTRAN shall send an HS-SCCH order on HS-SCCH-1 from cell 2 implying enhanced serving HS-DSCH from cell 1 to cell 2.

UE shall exit discontinuous uplink transmission and downlink reception state in cell 1, and start continuous monitoring of HS-SCCH order on HS-SCCH-1 from cell 2 until the expiry of Activation Time.

When UE has received the HS-SCCH order successfully from cell 2, the UE shall configure layer 1 to begin E-DCH transmission, with UL DPCCH discontinuous transmission, using the new radio link in cell 2. The UE shall transmit 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 320ms if 2ms TTI is used, or 400ms if 10ms TTI is used.

The SS shall transmit a UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY message to confirm that the UE can respond this message through the E-DCH in cell 1 and cell 2. The UE shall transmit a UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY INFORMATION message. Then SS transmits a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message.

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

8.3.4.19 Active set update: Dual Cell (DC) and MIMO Activation by Serving Cell Change from non-DC-HSDPA capable cell to DC-HSDPA capable cell

8.3.4.19.1 Definition and applicability

All UE categories which support Dual Cell HSDPA and MIMO. UE supports F-DPCH or Enhanced F-DPCH.

8.3.4.19.2 Conformance requirement

The purpose of the active set update procedure is to update the active set of the connection between the UE and UTRAN. This procedure shall be used in CELL_DCH state. The UE should keep on using the old RLs while configuring the new RLs. Also the UE should keep the transmitter turned on during the procedure. This procedure is only used in FDD mode.

[…]

The procedure is initiated when UTRAN orders a UE in CELL_DCH state, to make the following modifications of the active set of the connection:

a) Radio link addition;

b) Radio link removal;

c) Combined radio link addition and removal;

d) Addition of a radio link to the E-DCH active set;

e) Removal of a radio link from the E-DCH active set.

The procedure also allows the addition or removal of a radio link on a secondary serving HS-DSCH cell. Radio links on the secondary serving HS-DSCH cell are not part of the active set.

In case a) and c), UTRAN should:

1> prepare new additional radio link(s) in the UTRAN prior to the command to the UE.

In all cases, UTRAN should:

1> send an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message on downlink DCCH using AM or UM RLC;

1> create active sets that contain at least one common radio link across a DPCH or F-DPCH frame boundary as the result of one or multiple (parallel) active set update procedures.

UTRAN should include the following information:

1> IE "Radio Link Addition Information": Downlink DPCH information and other optional parameters relevant for the radio links to be added along with the IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID to indicate which radio link to add. This IE is needed in cases a) and c) listed above;

1> IE "Downlink Secondary Cell Info FDD": Downlink optional parameters relevant to reception of secondary serving HS-DSCH cell;

1> IE "Radio Link Removal Information": IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID to indicate which radio link to remove. This IE is needed in cases b) and c) listed above;

1> IE "E-DCH reconfiguration information": IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID along with the IE "E-HICH information" to indicate which radio link to add to the E-DCH active set. This IE is needed in case d) above, when the RL added to the E-DCH active set is already in the DCH active set;

1> IE "E-DCH reconfiguration information": IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID along with the IE "E-HICH release indicator" to indicate which radio link to remove from the E-DCH active set. This IE is needed in case e) above, when the RL removed from the E-DCH active set remains in the DCH active set.

[…]

Upon reception of an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message the UE shall act upon all received information elements as specified in 8.6, unless specified otherwise in the following.

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> first add the RLs indicated in the IE "Radio Link Addition Information";

1> remove the RLs indicated in the IE "Radio Link Removal Information". If the UE active set is full or becomes full, an RL, which is included in the IE "Radio Link Removal Information" for removal, shall be removed before adding RL, which is included in the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" for addition;

[…]

1> if "Serving HS-DSCH cell information" IE is present, act on received information elements as specified in subclause 8.6:

2> if the IEs "ACK", "NACK", and "HARQ_preamble_mode" are present, act on the received information elements;

2> if the new H-RNTI and "Primary CPICH info" are included:

3> consider the cell indicated in Primary CPICH as serving HS-DSCH cell and no longer consider any other radio link as serving HS-DSCH cell. If the IE "Downlink Secondary Cell Info FDD" is included for a cell associated with the serving HS-DSCH cell, consider that cell a secondary serving HS-DSCH cell.

2> if the IE "MAC-hs reset indicator" is included:

3> reset the MAC-hs/ehs entity [15].

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

[…]

If the UE receives an ACTIVE SET UPDATE, CELL UPDATE CONFIRM, or any reconfiguration message:

1> if the IE "MIMO parameters" is not included:

2> clear the MIMO_PARAMS variable;

2> trigger lower layers to stop operation in MIMO mode.

1> otherwise:

2> for FDD, if the IE "MIMO N_cqi_typeA/M_cqi ratio" is included:

3> store the value of the IE "MIMO N_cqi_typeA/M_cqi ratio" in the MIMO_PARAMS variable.

2> for FDD, if the IE "MIMO pilot configuration" is included:

  1. store the value of the IE "MIMO pilot configuration" in the MIMO_PARAMS variable.

[…]

If the UE receives an ACTIVE SET UPDATE, CELL UPDATE CONFIRM, or any reconfiguration message, the UE shall:

1> take actions related to the MIMO_PARAMS variable as specified in subclause 8.5.32;

1> determine the value of the MIMO_STATUS variable.

The MIMO_STATUS variable shall be set to TRUE only when all the following conditions are met:

1> The UE is in CELL_DCH state;

1> the variable HS_DSCH_RECEPTION is set to TRUE;

1> for FDD, the variable MIMO_PARAMS contains a value for the IE "MIMO N_cqi_typeA/M_cqi ratio"; and

1> for FDD, the variable MIMO_PARAMS contains a value for the IE "MIMO pilot configuration".

1> for 1.28 Mcps TDD, the variable MIMO_PARAMS contains a value for the IE "MIMO SF Mode for HS-PDSCH dual stream".

If any of the above conditions is not met and the MIMO_STATUS variable is set to TRUE, the UE shall:

1> set the MIMO_STATUS variable to FALSE;

1> clear the MIMO_PARAMS variable;

  1. trigger lower layers to stop operation in MIMO mode.

[…]

With the exception of the provisions of subclause 6A.3, the following shall apply when the UE is configured in MIMO mode:

  1. The UE derives the PCI value as defined in subclause 6A.4 and either a type A or a type B CQI value as defined in subclause 6A.2.2 depending on which type of CQI shall be reported as defined below.

[…]

An entry in the variable SECONDARY_CELL_HS_DSCH_RECEPTION shall be set to TRUE only when all the following conditions are met:

1> the UE is in CELL_DCH state;

1> the corresponding IE "Downlink Secondary Cell Info FDD" is included;

  1. the variable HS_DSCH_RECEPTION is set to TRUE;

[…]

If any of the above conditions is not met for a secondary serving HS-DSCH cell, and the corresponding entry in the variable SECONDARY_CELL_HS_DSCH_RECEPTION is set to TRUE, the UE shall:

1> set the corresponding entry in the variable SECONDARY_CELL_HS_DSCH_RECEPTION to FALSE;

1> clear the corresponding entry in the variable DOWNLINK_SECONDARY_CELL_INFO;

1> flush the HARQ buffers of the HARQ entity associated to that secondary serving HS-DSCH cell;

1> release the HARQ resources associated to that secondary serving HS-DSCH cell.

If there is at least one entry in the variable SECONDARY_CELL_HS_DSCH_RECEPTION set to TRUE, the UE shall:

  1. apply the i-th entry in the variables DOWNLINK_SECONDARY_CELL_INFO, SECONDARY_CELL_HS_DSCH_RECEPTION, and SECONDARY_CELL_MIMO_STATUS to the i-th secondary serving HS-DSCH cell.

[…]

For each entry in the variable SECONDARY_CELL_HS_DSCH_RECEPTION which is set to TRUE, the UE shall:

1> receive the HS-SCCH(s) according to the corresponding IE "Downlink Secondary Cell Info FDD" on the serving HS-DSCH radio link applying the scrambling code as received in the corresponding IE "DL Scrambling code";

  1. perform HS-DSCH reception procedures for the corresponding secondary serving HS-DSCH cell according to the stored HS-PDSCH configuration as stated in:

[…]

Whenever any entry in the variable SECONDARY_CELL_HS_DSCH_RECEPTION is set to FALSE, the UE shall:

1> not perform HS-SCCH reception procedures on the corresponding secondary serving HS-DSCH cell;

1> determine the value for the SECONDARY_CELL_E_DCH_TRANSMISSION and take the corresponding actions as described in subclause 8.5.58.

If any entry in the variable SECONDARY_CELL_HS_DSCH_RECEPTION is set to TRUE and the serving HS-DSCH cell was changed as a result of the received message or HS-SCCH order from the target cell, the UE shall instruct the physical layer to consider that the HS-SCCH orders from the serving cell were never received.

[…]

If the UE receives an ACTIVE SET UPDATE, CELL UPDATE CONFIRM, or any reconfiguration message which includes the IE "Downlink secondary cell info FDD" for any of the secondary serving HS-DSCH cells, the UE shall:

1> if the IE "Secondary cell MIMO parameters" is not included in the IE "Downlink secondary cell info FDD":

2> clear the corresponding entry in the SECONDARY_CELL_MIMO_PARAMS variable;

1> if the CHOICE "Configuration Info" in the IE "Secondary cell MIMO parameters" has the value "Continue":

2> continue using the stored parameters in the corresponding entry in the SECONDARY_CELL_MIMO_PARAMS variable;

1> otherwise:

2> if the IE "MIMO N_cqi_typeA/M_cqi ratio" is included:

3> store the value of the IE "MIMO N_cqi_typeA/M_cqi ratio" in the corresponding entry in the SECONDARY_CELL_MIMO_PARAMS variable.

2> if the IE "MIMO pilot configuration" is included:

3> store the value of the IE "MIMO pilot configuration" in the corresponding entry in the SECONDARY_CELL_MIMO_PARAMS variable.

1> determine the value of the SECONDARY_CELL_MIMO_STATUS variable for the corresponding HS-DSCH serving cell.

The SECONDARY_CELL_MIMO_STATUS variable shall be set to TRUE for a secondary HS-DSCH serving cell only when all the following conditions are met:

1> The UE is in CELL_DCH state;

1> the variable SECONDARY_CELL_HS_DSCH_RECEPTION is set to TRUE for that secondary HS-DSCH serving cell;

1> if the UE does not support MIMO only with single stream restriction, the corresponding entry in the variable SECONDARY_CELL_MIMO_PARAMS contains a value for the IE "MIMO N_cqi_typeA/M_cqi ratio"; and

1> the corresponding entry in the variable SECONDARY_CELL_MIMO_PARAMS contains a value for the IE "MIMO pilot configuration".

If any of the above conditions is not met and the SECONDARY_CELL_MIMO_STATUS variable is set to TRUE for that secondary HS-DSCH serving cell, the UE shall:

1> set the entry in the SECONDARY_CELL_MIMO_STATUS variable corresponding to that secondary HS-DSCH serving cell to FALSE;

1> clear the entry in the SECONDARY_CELL_MIMO_PARAMS variable corresponding to that secondary HS-DSCH serving cell;

1> trigger lower layers to stop MIMO operation on that secondary serving HS-DSCH cell.

Whenever the entry in the variable SECONDARY_CELL_HS_DSCH_RECEPTION is set to TRUE for a secondary HS-DSCH serving cell, the UE shall:

2> indicate to lower layers to start operation in MIMO mode restricted to single stream transmission on that secondary serving HS-DSCH cell, using the parameter values stored in the corresponding entry in the variable SECONDARY_CELL_MIMO_PARAMS.

1> else:

2> indicate to lower layers to start operation in MIMO mode on that secondary serving HS-DSCH cell, using the parameter values stored in the corresponding entry in the variable SECONDARY_CELL_MIMO_PARAMS.

1> for FDD, when MIMO only with single stream restriction is configured:

2> if MAC-ehs is not configured:

  1. the UE behaviour is undefined.

Table 8.3.4.17 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 3 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

Note that Cell 2 and Cell 3 are combined DC HSDPA and MIMO Cells with Cell 2 configured as the primary carrier and Cell 3 configured as the secondary cell (definition according to TS 25.825 section 4.2.1).

The downlink transmission power is set according to values in column “T0” in table 8.3.4.19-2. The UE has user plane bearers and signalling bearers mapped on E-DCH/HS-DSCH in cell 1.

The SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.4.19-2. The UE transmits a MEASUREMENT REPORT message, which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity" set to ‘1a’ in SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 1 on DCCH using AM RLC which adds a second radio link in cell 2, changes the E-DCH and HS-DSCH serving cell to cell 2 and includes Downlink Secondary Cell 3 parameters and MIMO configuration. When UE receive this message, the UE shall configure layer 1 to begin reception E-DCH transmission, HS-DSCH reception and MIMO reception using the new radio links on Anchor Carrier Cell 2 and Secondary Carrier Cell 3. The UE shall respond with ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC. SS checks that this RRC messages is received on Anchor Carrier Cell 2.

To check that the UE has performed serving cell change to DC HSDPA Cell, SS monitors for CQI reports on HS-DPCCH received from UE on Cell 2 and Cell 3.

8.3.4.19a Void

8.3.4.19b Active set update: DB-DC-HSDPA and MIMO Activation by Serving Cell Change from non-DC-HSDPA capable cell to DB-DC-HSDPA capable cell

The scope and description of the present TC is the same as test case 8.3.4.19 with the following differences:

– Test case applicability limited to Rel-10 or later releases UE supporting dual band operation.

– Cells configuration: Cell 4 replaces Cell 3.

– Cell 2 and Cell 4 are configured on different bands.

8.3.4.20 Active set update in soft handover: Radio Link addition/removal on the secondary E-DCH active set

8.3.4.20.1 Definition and applicability

All UE categories which support Dual Cell HSUPA operation. UE supports F-DPCH or Enhanced F-DPCH. UE supports FDD E-DCH category 8 or 9.

8.3.4.20.2 Conformance requirement

The purpose of the active set update procedure is to update the active set of the connection between the UE and UTRAN. This procedure shall be used in CELL_DCH state. The UE should keep on using the old RLs while configuring the new RLs. Also the UE should keep the transmitter turned on during the procedure. This procedure is only used in FDD mode.

The procedure is initiated when UTRAN orders a UE in CELL_DCH state, to make the following modifications of the active set of the connection:

a) Radio link addition to the active set;

b) Radio link removal from the active set;

c) Combined radio link addition and removal on the active set;

d) Addition of a radio link to the E-DCH active set;

e) Removal of a radio link from the E-DCH active set.

f) Radio link addition to the secondary E-DCH active set;

g) Radio link removal from the secondary E-DCH active set;

h) Combined radio link addition and removal on the secondary E-DCH active set;

The procedure also allows the addition or removal of a radio link on the downlink frequencies associated with the secondary serving HS-DSCH cells. If the UE is not operating in Dual Cell E-DCH operation, radio links on the downlink frequencies associated with the secondary serving HS-DSCH cells are not part of the active set. Otherwise, radio links on the frequency associated with the first secondary serving HS-DSCH cell, are part of the secondary E-DCH active set.

Additionally, the procedure also allows the update of Target cell preconfiguration information for existing radio link(s).

In case a), c), f) and h), UTRAN should:

1> prepare new additional radio link(s) in the UTRAN prior to the command to the UE.

In case a), b), c), d) and e), UTRAN should:

1> send an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message on downlink DCCH using AM or UM RLC;

1> create active sets that contain at least one common radio link across a DPCH or F-DPCH frame boundary as the result of one or multiple (parallel) active set update procedures.

In case f), g) and h), UTRAN should:

1> send an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message on downlink DCCH using AM or UM RLC;

1> create secondary E-DCH active sets that contain at least one common radio link across a F-DPCH frame boundary as the result of one or multiple (parallel) active set update procedures.

UTRAN should include the following information:

1> IE "Radio Link Addition Information": Downlink DPCH information and other optional parameters relevant for the radio links to be added along with the IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID to indicate which radio link to add. This IE is needed in cases a) and c) listed above;

1> IEs "Downlink Secondary Cell Info FDD": Downlink optional parameters relevant to the reception of secondary serving HS-DSCH cells;

1> IE "Uplink Secondary Cell Info FDD": Uplink optional parameters relevant to transmission on secondary uplink frequency;

1> IE "Radio Link Removal Information": IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID to indicate which radio link to remove. This IE is needed in cases b) and c) listed above;

1> IE "Radio link addition information on secondary UL frequency": Downlink F-DPCH information and other optional parameters relevant for the radio links to be added along with the IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID to indicate which radio link to add on the secondary uplink frequency. This IE is needed in cases f) and h) listed above;

1> IE "Radio link removal information on secondary UL frequency": IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID to indicate which radio link to remove on the secondary uplink frequency. This IE is needed in cases g) and h) listed above;

1> IE "E-DCH reconfiguration information": IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID along with the IE "E-HICH information" to indicate which radio link to add to the E-DCH active set. This IE is needed in case d) above, when the RL added to the E-DCH active set is already in the DCH active set;

1> IE "E-DCH reconfiguration information": IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID along with the IE "E-HICH release indicator" to indicate which radio link to remove from the E-DCH active set. This IE is needed in case e) above, when the RL removed from the E-DCH active set remains in the DCH active set.

Upon reception of an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message the UE shall act upon all received information elements as specified in 8.6, unless specified otherwise in the following.

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> first add the RLs indicated in the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" which are not yet contained in the UEs active set;

Table 8.3.4.20-1 and Table 8.3.4.20-2 illustrate the downlink power to be applied for the 3 cells at various time instants of the test execution. Note that Cell 2 and Cell 3 are DC HSUPA Cells with Cell 2 configured as the primary uplink cell and Cell 3 configured as the secondary uplink cell.

The downlink transmission power is set according to values in column “T0” in table 8.3.4.20-2. The UE has user plane bearers and signalling bearers mapped to the E-DCH/HS-DSCH of the DC HSUPA Cell configuration. The SS transmits to the UE an MEASUREMENT CONTROL message in cell 2 on DCCH using AM RLC, which configures event ‘1a’ and event ‘1b’ for the secondary frequency measurement.

The SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.4.20-2. The UE transmits a MEASUREMENT REPORT message, which includes the primary scrambling code for Cell 1 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to 1a in IE "Intra-frequency measurement reporting criteria on secondary UL frequency" in MEASUREMENT CONTROL message.

The SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 2 on DCCH using AM RLC, which includes IE "Radio link addition information on secondary UL frequency " and specifying the P-CPICH information of the cell to be added. When the UE receives this message, at the activation time, the UE shall configure layer 1 to begin E-DCH transmission using the new radio link on cell 1. The UE shall transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

The SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T2" in table 8.3.4.20-2. The UE shall transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 1 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to 1b in IE "Intra-frequency measurement reporting criteria on secondary UL frequency" in MEASUREMENT CONTROL message. The SS receives this message to confirm that the UE has added the radio link on cell 1 to the secondary E-DCH set.

After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS removes the radio link on cell 1 from the secondary E-DCH active set and then SS transmits an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message, which includes IE "Radio link removal information on secondary UL frequency" and specifying the P-CPICH information of the cell to be removed.

When the UE receives this message, the UE RRC entity shall request UE L1 entity to terminate transmission and reception of the radio link on cell 1. Then the UE transmits an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

The SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T3" in table 8.3.4.20-2. The UE shall transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message, which includes the primary scrambling code for Cell 1 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to 1a in IE "Intra-frequency measurement reporting criteria on secondary UL frequency" in MEASUREMENT CONTROL message. The SS receives this message to confirm that the UE has deleted the radio link on cell 1 from the secondary E-DCH set.

Table 8.3.4.21-2 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 2 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.4.X-2. UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1a’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS configures the new radio link to be added from cell 2 and then the SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 1 on DCCH using AM RLC which includes the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" and MIMO configuration. When the UE receives this message, the UE shall activate MIMO reception and configure SRB and user plane bearers for HS-DSCH reception (L1 configured for MIMO on separate antennae with PCI restriction and S-CPICH Power Offset) using the new radio link with cell 2 as the serving cell. The UE shall respond with ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC. UE sends combined CQI/PCI reports of type A/B continuously every 2 ms. The PCI values reported shall be restricted to 0 or 3 for type A CQIs where one transport block is preferred. For type A CQIs where two transport blocks are preferred, restriction shall not apply.

The SS transmits a PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION message, using MIMO configuration, to the UE to reconfigure MIMO parameters (without PCI restriction and S-CPICH offset). When the UE receives this message, the UE shall reconfigure L1 (without PCI restriction and S-CPICH offset) and respond with PHYSICAL CHANNEL RECONFIGURATION COMPLETE.UE sends combined CQI/PCI reports of type A/B continuously every 2 ms.

8.3.4.22 Active set update: Dual Cell (DC) Activation by Serving Cell Change from non DC-HSDPA capable cell to DC-HSDPA capable cell with discontinuous uplink transmission and downlink reception

8.3.4.22.1 Definition and applicability

All UEs which support FDD, UL DTX, DL DRX and Dual Cell HSDPA.

8.3.4.22.2 Conformance requirement

The purpose of the active set update procedure is to update the active set of the connection between the UE and UTRAN. This procedure shall be used in CELL_DCH state. The UE should keep on using the old RLs while configuring the new RLs. Also the UE should keep the transmitter turned on during the procedure. This procedure is only used in FDD mode.

The procedure is initiated when UTRAN orders a UE in CELL_DCH state, to make the following modifications of the active set of the connection:

a) Radio link addition;

b) Radio link removal;

c) Combined radio link addition and removal;

d) Addition of a radio link to the E-DCH active set;

e) Removal of a radio link from the E-DCH active set.

The procedure also allows the addition or removal of a radio link on a secondary serving HS-DSCH cell. Radio links on the secondary serving HS-DSCH cell are not part of the active set.

In case a) and c), UTRAN should:

1> prepare new additional radio link(s) in the UTRAN prior to the command to the UE.

In all cases, UTRAN should:

1> send an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message on downlink DCCH using AM or UM RLC;

1> create active sets that contain at least one common radio link across a DPCH or F-DPCH frame boundary as the result of one or multiple (parallel) active set update procedures.

UTRAN should include the following information:

1> IE "Radio Link Addition Information": Downlink DPCH information and other optional parameters relevant for the radio links to be added along with the IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID to indicate which radio link to add. This IE is needed in cases a) and c) listed above;

1> IE "Downlink Secondary Cell Info FDD": Downlink optional parameters relevant to reception of secondary serving HS-DSCH cell;

1> IE "Radio Link Removal Information": IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID to indicate which radio link to remove. This IE is needed in cases b) and c) listed above;

1> IE "E-DCH reconfiguration information": IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID along with the IE "E-HICH information" to indicate which radio link to add to the E-DCH active set. This IE is needed in case d) above, when the RL added to the E-DCH active set is already in the DCH active set;

1> IE "E-DCH reconfiguration information": IE "Primary CPICH info" used for the reference ID along with the IE "E-HICH release indicator" to indicate which radio link to remove from the E-DCH active set. This IE is needed in case e) above, when the RL removed from the E-DCH active set remains in the DCH active set.

Upon reception of an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message the UE shall act upon all received information elements as specified in 8.6, unless specified otherwise in the following.

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> first add the RLs indicated in the IE "Radio Link Addition Information";

1> remove the RLs indicated in the IE "Radio Link Removal Information". If the UE active set is full or becomes full, an RL, which is included in the IE "Radio Link Removal Information" for removal, shall be removed before adding RL, which is included in the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" for addition;

1> if "Serving HS-DSCH cell information" IE is present, act on received information elements as specified in subclause 8.6:

2> if the IEs "ACK", "NACK", and "HARQ_preamble_mode" are present, act on the received information elements;

2> if the new H-RNTI and "Primary CPICH info" are included:

3> consider the cell indicated in Primary CPICH as serving HS-DSCH cell and no longer consider any other radio link as serving HS-DSCH cell. If the IE "Downlink Secondary Cell Info FDD" is included for a cell associated with the serving HS-DSCH cell, consider that cell a secondary serving HS-DSCH cell.

2> if the IE "MAC-hs reset indicator" is included:

3> reset the MAC-hs/ehs entity [15].

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

…..

If the IE "RB mapping info" is included, the UE shall:

For FDD the list of multiplexing options configured in the UE for each RB and SRB should comply with the following rules otherwise the UE behaviour is not specified:

– …

– at most one multiplexing option can contain the combination "DCH" or "DCH + HS-DSCH" for the DL together with "DCH" for the UL;

– at most one multiplexing option can contain the combination "HS-DSCH" or "DCH + HS-DSCH" for the DL together with "DCH" for the UL;

– …

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.

If the UE receives RRC CONNECTION SETUP, ACTIVE SET UPDATE, CELL UPDATE CONFIRM, or any reconfiguration message:

1> the UE shall determine the value for the DTX_DRX_STATUS variable.

The variable DTX_DRX_STATUS shall be set to TRUE only when all the following conditions are met:

1> the UE is in CELL_DCH state;

1> both variables HS_DSCH RECEPTION and E_DCH_TRANSMISSION are set to TRUE;

1> no DCH transport channel is configured;

1> the variable DTX_DRX_PARAMS is set;

1> the UE has received the IE "DTX-DRX timing information".

If any of the above conditions is not met and the variable DTX_DRX_STATUS is set to TRUE, the UE shall:

1> set the variable DTX_DRX_STATUS to FALSE;

1> clear the variable DTX_DRX_PARAMS;

Note 1: For Secondary Carrier Cell 3 the UARFCN is a positive offset of 25 from the UARFCN of the test frequency of the Anchor Carrier Cell 2 which translates to 5MHz channel frequency spacing

Table 8.3.4.22 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 3 cells at various time instants of the test execution. Note that cell 2 and cell 3 are configured as DC HSDPA Cells with cell 2 as the Anchor Carrier and cell 3 as the Secondary Carrier cell.

The downlink transmission power is set according to values in column “T0” in table 8.3.4.22. The UE has user plane mapped on E-DCH/HS-DSCH and signalling radio bearers mapped on E-DCH/HS-DSCH in cell 1.

The SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.4.22. The UE transmits a MEASUREMENT REPORT message, which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity" set to 1a.

The SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 1 on DCCH using AM RLC which adds a second radio link in cell 2, changes the E-DCH and HS-DSCH serving cell to cell 2, and includes Downlink Secondary Cell 3 parameters, discontinuous E-DCH transmission and discontinuous HS-DSCH reception parameters. When the UE receives this message, the UE shall configure layer 1 to begin E-DCH transmission, discontinuous HS-DSCH reception, with UL DPCCH discontinuous transmission, using the new radio link on Anchor Carrier Cell 2 and Secondary Carrier Cell 3. The UE shall transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC. SS checks that this RRC message is received on Anchor Carrier cell 2.

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 (received from the UE on cell 2 and cell 3) is 320ms if 2ms TTI is used, or 400ms if 10ms TTI is used.

8.3.4.22.5 Test requirements

At step 3 SS shall receive a MEASUREMENT REPORT message on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

At step 6 SS shall receive an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC to acknowledge the completion of the active set addition procedure, the change of serving cell to DC HSDPA.

At step 7 SS should start receiving CQI report for Cell 2 and Cell 3 on HS-DPCCH from the UE and the time between 11 consecutive CQI indications (received from the UE on Cell 2 and Cell3) is 320ms if 2ms TTI is used, or 400ms if 10ms TTI is used.

8.3.4.23 Active set update in soft handover: Radio Link addition/deletion in multiple radio link environment with 3C-HSDPA or 4C-HSDPA remaining active

NOTE: The active set update soft handover test cases for 4C-HSDPA have been split in to Single band/nonMIMO, Single band/MIMO, Dual band/non-MIMO and Dual band/MIMO test cases. As soft handover for 4C-HSDPA is limited to adding and deleting radio links to the serving HS-DSCH cell then it has been not considered necessary to test the soft handover scenario for all of the supported 4C-HSDPA carrier combinations. Instead the test cases have been designed to cover 4C-HSDPA carrier combinations that will enable testing of all UEs supporting FDD HS-DSCH physical layer categories 29, 30, 31 or 32.

8.3.4.23.1 Active set update in soft handover: Radio Link addition/deletion in multiple radio link environment with 3C-HSDPA remaining active / Single band

8.3.4.23.1.1 Definition and applicability

All UEs which support FDD, 4C-HSDPA Single band operation with 3 carriers.

8.3.4.23.1.2 Conformance requirement

Upon reception of an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message the UE shall act upon all received information elements as specified in 8.6, unless specified otherwise in the following.

….

The UE shall:

1> first add the RLs indicated in the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" which are not yet contained in the UEs active set;

1> remove the RLs indicated in the IE "Radio Link Removal Information". If the UE active set is full or becomes full, an RL, which is included in the IE "Radio Link Removal Information" for removal, shall be removed before adding RL, which is included in the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" for addition;

1> perform the physical layer synchronisation procedure B as specified in [29] for the radio links which are not yet contained in the UEs active set;

….

1> if the radio link currently considered to be the serving HS-DSCH radio link is indicated in the IE "Radio Link Removal Information":

2> no longer consider any radio link as the serving HS-DSCH radio link;

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

1> for each radio link in the IE "Radio Link Addition Information":

2> take the actions related to TARGET_CELL_PRECONFIGURATION variable as described in subclause 8.5.52.

….

1> transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC without waiting for the completion of the Physical Layer synchronisation B, as specified in TS 25.211;

1> the procedure ends on the UE side.

Table 8.3.4.23.1.4-1 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 4 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

At the start of the test, the UE is in CELL_DCH state and has a radio bearer mapped on serving HS-DSCH on Cell 1 and secondary HS-DSCH on Cell 4 and Cell 7.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.4.23.1.4-1. UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1a’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS configures the new radio link to be added from cell 2 and then the SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 1 on DCCH using AM RLC which includes the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" (e.g. Downlink DPCH information and other optional parameters relevant for the additional radio links with Primary CPICH info used for the reference ID).

When the UE receives this message, the UE shall configure layer 1 without affecting the current uplink and downlink activities of existing radio links. The UE shall transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

SS checks that UE transmits CQI reports on HS-DPCCH on Cell 1, Cell 4 and Cell 7 to verify that the uplink and downlink activities of existing radio links are intact,

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T2" in table 8.3.4.23.1.4-1. UE shall transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS remove the radio link from cell 2 and then SS transmits an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message, which includes IE "Radio Link Removal Information" and specifying the P-CPICH information of the cell to be removed.

When the UE receives this message, the UE RRC entity shall request UE L1 entity to terminate transmission and reception of the radio link from cell 2. Then the UE transmits an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

SS checks that UE transmits CQI reports on HS-DPCCH on Cell 1, Cell 4 and Cell 7 to verify that the uplink and downlink activities of existing radio links are intact,

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 8.3.4.23.2.4-1 illustrates the downlink power to be applied for the 4 cells at various time instants of the test execution.

At the start of the test, the UE is in CELL_DCH state and has a radio bearer mapped on serving HS-DSCH on Cell 1 and secondary HS-DSCH on Cell 4 and Cell 7.

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T1" in table 8.3.4.23.2.4-1. UE shall be triggered to transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2 according to IE "Intra-frequency event identity", which is set to ‘1a’ in the SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 11. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS configures the new radio link to be added from cell 2 and then the SS transmits to the UE an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message in cell 1 on DCCH using AM RLC which includes the IE "Radio Link Addition Information" (e.g. Downlink DPCH information and other optional parameters relevant for the additional radio links with Primary CPICH info used for the reference ID).

When the UE receives this message, the UE shall configure layer 1 without affecting the current uplink and downlink activities of existing radio links. The UE shall transmit an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

SS checks that UE transmits composite CQI/PCI reports on each stream for Cell 1, Cell 4 and Cell 7 to verify that the uplink and downlink activities of existing radio links are intact,

SS configures its downlink transmission power settings according to columns "T2" in table 8.3.4.23.2.4-1. UE shall transmit a MEASUREMENT REPORT message which includes the primary scrambling code for cell 2. After the MEASUREMENT REPORT message is received, the SS remove the radio link from cell 2 and then SS transmits an ACTIVE SET UPDATE message, which includes IE "Radio Link Removal Information" and specifying the P-CPICH information of the cell to be removed.

When the UE receives this message, the UE RRC entity shall request UE L1 entity to terminate transmission and reception of the radio link from cell 2. Then the UE transmits an ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message to the SS on the uplink DCCH using AM RLC.

SS checks that UE transmits composite CQI/PCI reports on each stream for Cell 1, Cell 4 and Cell 7 to verify that the uplink and downlink activities of existing radio links are intact,

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 CELL_DCH state with configured Multiflow operation, SRBs are mapped to DCH/DCH. The SS transmits the ACTIVE SET UPDATE message to the UE. This message instructs the UE to add Cell 4 to the active set and change the serving cell to Cell 4. After the UE receives this message, it reconfigures active set and Multiflow, and transmits the ACTIVE SET UPDATE COMPLETE message using AM RLC.

The SS sends UE CAPABILITY ENQUIRY using SRB2 mapped onto DCH. The UE shall respond to the message with UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION message. In that RRC message, it shall include the IE “HS-DSCH physical layer category extension 2”. The SS completes the procedure by transmitting a UE CAPABILITY INFORMATION CONFIRM message.
