9.4.11 Location Updating / EAB active
34.123-13GPPPart 1: Protocol conformance specificationRelease 15TSUser Equipment (UE) conformance specification
9.4.11.1 Definition
Test to verify that the UE does not perform LAU if the network broadcast EAB and EAB is enabled in the UE.
9.4.11.2 Conformance requirement
– For generic location updating, GPRS attach and routing area updating procedures the mobile station shall evaluate the control information for:
– common access control (as specified in 3GPP TS 44.018 [84], 3GPP TS 44.060 [76], and 3GPP TS 25.331 [23c]);
– domain specific access control (as specified in 3GPP TS 44.018 [84] and 3GPP TS 25.331 [23c]);
– specific control information for location registration (as specified in 3GPP TS 25.331 [23c]; see "Paging Permission with Access Control"); and
– EAB as specified for A/Gb mode in 3GPP TS 44.018 [84], and for Iu mode in 3GPP TS 25.331 [23c].

9.4.11.3 Test purpose
To verify that the UE does not perform LAU if the network broadcast EAB and EAB is enabled in the UE
9.4.11.4 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;
– User Equipment:
– the UE has a valid TMSI (=TMSI1) and CKSN (=CKSN1). It is "idle updated" on cell A.
– An access class x (0-9) is arbitrarily chosen. The USIM is programmed with this access class x.
– The UE is equipped with a USIM containing values shown in Table 9.4.11.4–1.

Test Procedure
The SS indicates access class x barred in EAB information.
The UE is made to select cell B. The UE will not initiate a Location Update procedure.

SS |
SS transmits SYSTEM INFORMATION BLOCK TYPE 21 on cell B. SIB_REP=5.12s and access class x is present in IE “common EAB information”. |

UE |
The UE shall not initiate a location updating procedure as access class x is barred. (SS waits 3minutes). |

UE |
The UE shall transmit a RRC CONNECTION REQUESTmessage on cell B to initiate a location updating procedure. And the RRC Connection is established. |

9.4.11.5 Test requirement
At step 3, The UE shall not initiate a location updating procedure as access class x is barred in EAB information.
At step 5, The UE shall transmit a RRC CONNECTION REQUEST message on cell B to initiate a location updating procedure.
