9.4.1.1 Definition
9.4.1.2 Conformance requirement
1.
1.1 if the network accepts a location updating from the UE and reallocates a TMSI in the LOCATION UPDATING ACCEPT message the UE shall acknowledge the reception of the new TMSI;
1.2 the UE shall answer to paging with this TMSI and include it in a PAGING RESPONSE message.
2 If the network accepts a location updating from the UE and the LOCATION UPDATING ACCEPT message contains neither TMSI nor IMSI, the UE shall answer to paging when addressed with the last allocated TMSI and include it in the PAGING RESPONSE message.
3.
3.1 if the network accepts a location updating from the UE by use of a LOCATION UPDATING ACCEPT message containing the IMSI of the UE, the UE shall not answer paging with the last allocated TMSI;
3.2 the UE shall still answer paging with IMSI.
Reference(s)
TS 24.008 clause 4.4.4.6.
9.4.1.3 Test purpose
1) To test the behaviour of the UE if the network accepts the location updating of the UE.
For the network response three different cases are identified:
1.1) TMSI is allocated;
1.2) location updating accept contains neither TMSI nor IMSI;
1.3) location updating accept contains IMSI.
9.4.1.4 Method of test
Initial conditions:
– System Simulator:
– two cells, A and B, belonging to different location areas with location area identification a and b of the same PLMN;
– IMSI attach/detach is allowed in both cells;
– the T3212 time-out value is 1/10 hour in both cells.
– User Equipment:
– the UE has a valid TMSI (=TMSI1) and CKSN (=CKSN1). It is "idle updated" on cell A.
Related ICS/IXIT statement(s)
None.
Test Procedure
The UE is made to select cell B. A normal location updating with TMSI reallocation is performed in cell B. The RRC CONNECTION is released. The SS checks, by paging, that the UE has stored the newly allocated TMSI. The RRC CONNECTION is released. The UE is made to select cell A. A normal location updating is performed in cell A. The LOCATION UPDATING ACCEPT message contains neither IMSI nor TMSI. The SS checks, by paging, that the UE has kept the old TMSI. The RRC CONNECTION is released. The UE is made to select cell B. A normal location updating is performed in cell B. The LOCATION UPDATING ACCEPT message contains an IMSI. The SS checks, by paging, that the UE has deleted its TMSI and responds to paging with IMSI.
