8.10 Test PDP contexts

34.123-33GPPPart 3: Abstract test suite (ATS)TSUser Equipment (UE) conformance specification

Table 8.10.1 defines test PDP contexts used in the generic procedures for the PS establishment and other SM tests. The test PDP contextDch1 is the default Test PDP context used in the test cases where no particular Test PDP contexts are specified and UE is in DCH state. The test PDP contextFach is the default Test PDP context used in the test cases where no particular Test PDP contexts are specified and UE is in FACH state.

NOTE 1: Refer to 3GPP TS 25.306 [16a] Table 5.1a.

NOTE 2: The maximum number of single-sized MAC-d PDUs in a single MAC-hs PDU is calculated with the formula:
– Max number MAC-d PDU = DIV ((MAX TB size – MAC-hs header fixed part), MAC-d PDU size)
– where MAC-d PDU size = 640 + 16 = 656
– MAC-hs header fixed part = Length of MAC-hs fixed header (VF + Queue Id + TSN) + Length of MAC-hs flexible header (SID + N + F) = 21 bits

Example of calculation for category 1:
Max number MAC-d PDU = DIV( (7298-21) , 656) = 11

NOTE 3: Example of calculation for MIMO or DC-HSDPA or Multiflow with 2 cells:
When MIMO or dual cell operation is configured, this parameter defines the maximum number of bits that the UE is capable of receiving per transport block per HS-DSCH.
The maximum number of single-sized MAC-d PDUs in a single MAC-ehs PDU is calculated with the formula:
– Max number MAC-d PDU = DIV ((MAX TB size – MAC-ehs header fixed part), MAC-d PDU size) * 2
– where MAC-d PDU size = 640 + 16 = 656
– MAC-ehs header fixed part = Length of one MAC-ehs fixed header (LCH-ID + L + TSN + SI + F) = 24 bits

Example of calculation for category 17:
Max number MAC-d PDU = DIV( (23370-24) , 656)*2 = 70

NOTE 4: Example of calculation for combined DC-HSDPA and MIMO:
When DC-HSPDA and MIMO is configured, this parameter defines the maximum number of bits that the UE is capable of receiving per transport block per HS-DSCH.
The maximum number of single-sized MAC-d PDUs in a single MAC-ehs PDU is calculated with the formula:
– Max number MAC-d PDU = DIV ((MAX TB size – MAC-ehs header fixed part), MAC-d PDU size) * 4
– where MAC-d PDU size = 640 + 16 = 656
– MAC-ehs header fixed part = Length of one MAC-ehs fixed header (LCH-ID + L + extended TSN + SI + F) = 32 bits

Example of calculation for category 25:
Max number MAC-d PDU = DIV( (23370-32) , 656)*4 = 140

NOTE 5: Example of calculation for 3C-HSDPA or Multiflow with 3 cells:
When 3C-HSDPA is configured, this parameter defines the maximum number of bits that the UE is capable of receiving per transport block per HS-DSCH.
The maximum number of single-sized MAC-d PDUs in a single MAC-ehs PDU is calculated with the formula:
– without MIMO configured: Max number MAC-d PDU = DIV ((MAX TB size – MAC-ehs header fixed part), MAC-d PDU size) * 3

– with MIMO configured: Max number MAC-d PDU = DIV ((MAX TB size – MAC-ehs header fixed part), MAC-d PDU size) * 6


– where MAC-d PDU size = 640 + 16 = 656
– MAC-ehs header fixed part = Length of one MAC-ehs fixed header (LCH-ID + L + TSN + SI + F) = 24 bits

Example of calculation for category 29:
Max number MAC-d PDU = DIV( (42192-24) , 656)*3 = 192

NOTE 6: Example of calculation for 4C-HSDPA or Multiflow with 4 cells:
When 4C-HSDPA is configured, this parameter defines the maximum number of bits that the UE is capable of receiving per transport block per HS-DSCH.
The maximum number of single-sized MAC-d PDUs in a single MAC-ehs PDU is calculated with the formula:
without MIMO configured: Max number MAC-d PDU = DIV ((MAX TB size – MAC-ehs header fixed part), MAC-d PDU size) * 4

with MIMO configured: Max number MAC-d PDU = DIV ((MAX TB size – MAC-ehs header fixed part), MAC-d PDU size) * 8
– where MAC-d PDU size = 640 + 16 = 656
– MAC-ehs header fixed part = Length of one MAC-ehs fixed header (LCH-ID + L + TSN + SI + F) = 24 bits

Example of calculation for category 29:
Max number MAC-d PDU = DIV( (42192-24) , 656)*4 = 256

NOTE 2: The maximum number of MAC-d PDUs in a single MAC-e PDU containing a single MAC-es PDU is calculated with the formula:
Max number MAC-d PDU = DIV ((MAX TB size – Length of MAC-e/es fixed header (DDI+N+TSN)), MAC-d PDU size)
The maximum number of MAC-d PDUs in a single MAC-i PDU containing a single MAC-is PDU is calculated with the formula:
Max number MAC-d PDU = DIV ((MAX TB size – Length of MAC-i/is fixed header (LCH-ID, L, F, SS, TSN)), MAC-d PDU size)


Example of calculation for category 1 with MAC-e/es:

NOTE 4: When DC-HSUPA apply the maximum number of MAC-d PDUs in a single MAC-i PDU containing a single MAC-is PDU is calculated with the formula:
Max number MAC-d PDU = (DIV ((MAX TB size – Length of MAC-i/is fixed header (LCH-ID, L, F, SS, extended TSN)), MAC-d PDU size))*2


Example of calculation for category 8:
Max number MAC-d PDU = DIV((7110 – 32), (320+16)) *2= 68

NOTE 1: See 3GPP TS 25.306 [16a], Table 5.1m.

NOTE 2: The maximum number of MAC-d PDUs in a single MAC-e PDU containing a single MAC-es PDU is calculated with the formula:

– Max number MAC-d PDU = DIV ((MAX TB size – Length of MAC-e/es fixed header), MAC-d PDU size)

where, MAC-d PDU size = 320 + 16 = 336 bits

– Length of MAC-e/es fixed header = DDI+N+TSN = 18 bits

Example of calculation for category 1: Max number MAC-d PDU = DIV((2754 – 18), (336)) = 8.
