8.2 Channel and RB identity

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

The TTCN addresses the TTCN tester by using a channel identifier:

– Either Physical channel identifier (PhyCh id); or

– Transport channel identifier (TrCh id); or

– Radio bearer identifier (RB id).

The selected channel identifier identifies uniquely:

– a channel within a cell;

– a total path of the address in the lower layers concerned.

Having taken out the cell id and PCO id (AM, UM and TM), a complete address, as RoutingInfo in the RRC ASP definition, should have at least five fields, CN domain id, RB id, LogCH id, TrCH id and PhyCH id. For simplified application of CHOICE of the routing information, a TTCN writer must carefully follow a number of rules assigning the channel identifiers.

General requirements:

– a structured scheme of planning all channel identifiers assigned;

– the scheme shall meet the requirements for all test cases in 3GPP TS 34.123-1 [1] including TDD channels;

– the scheme can apply to all radio bearer configurations in 3GPP TS 34.108 [3], clause 6.10;

– a clear multiplex mapping between a PhyCH id to TrCH ids and a TrCH id to LogCH ids, RB ids is needed.

Requirements on identification of RB in a test case:

– unique identification of the individual SRBs;

– unique identification of the individual sub-flows of a RABs in CS and PS domain.;

– an assigned RB id can represent UL and DL.

Requirements on identification of Logical Channel in a test case:

– it is an instance number of the individual logical channel; and

– uniquely identifies among all the Logical Channel mapped onto a Transport Channel.

Requirements on identification of Transport Channel in a test case:

– unique identification of the individual Transport Channel;

– assign different identities for UL and DL of a same Transport Channel type;

– the order of the Transport Channel id assigned in a cell shall follow the TFCS definitions in the 3GPP TS 34.108 [3], clause 6.10.

EXAMPLE: Transport Channel ids are assigned in the ascending order for (RABsubflow#1, RABsubflow#2, RABsubflow#3, 64kRAB, DCCH).

Requirements on identification of Physical Channel in a test case:

– unique identification of the individual Physical Channel;

– assign different identities for UL and DL of a same Physical Channel type;

– each S-CCPCH or PRACH has a unique identifier;

– for 2 Mbps PS data radio link (in case of demux of a Transport Channel), three DPCH are needed for high-speed data. A single Physical Channel id is assigned to a bundle of the three physical channels.

Table 8.2 shows which type of channel identity is chosen for the individual primitives. In table 8.2, the ASN.1 primitives use a CHOICE type for channel identity, while TTCN primitives use an explicit channel identity.

8.2.2.1 Support of Default Configurations

In test cases using default configurations according to 3GPP TS 25.331 [21], clause 13.7, the configuration of the system simulator follows the same parameter values as defined for the UE side with the following exceptions:

– UL/DL transport channel ids;

– E-DCH MAC-d flow id / HS-DSCH MAC-d flow id.

As the transport channel identities and the MAC-d flow identities have the local significance, the TTCN implementations follow the test model.

8.2.6 MAC-d

MAC-d and the served RLC are cell-independent and are configured by using the cell-id = -1. During reconfigurations, cell changes and state transitions, the relevant counters in the RLC and MAC-d are maintained.

For the active set updating, the DL DCH with the same channel Id in the different cells are implicitly connected to form the DL multiple paths.

8.2.6.1 MAC-d configuration examples

The following example shows how the MAC and RLC ASP are used to configure different configurations.

The 1st parameter in ASP represents the cell identity: p_CellId corresponds to the current cell identity, tsc_CellDedicated corresponds to the cell independent (-1). The 2nd parameter represents the channel Id, this parameter is not needed in the CRLC ASP).

8.2.7 Configuration of compressed mode

8.2.7.1 UE Side

Two IE are available for the configuration of the compressed mode for the UE.

a) DPCH_CompressedModeInfo.

b) DPCH_CompressedModeStatusInfo.

Compressed mode initiation at UE side can be divided into 2 steps:

a) Downloading compressed mode parameters.

b) Activating the compressed mode.

Both of them can be done in one shot.

8.2.7.2 SS Side

Compressed mode configuration at SS side shall be maintained the same status as that on the UE side. So there are 3 different types of compressed mode configuration states both on UE and SS side.

– Configuration of compressed mode parameters (Use of DPCH_CompressedModeInfo) without the activation.

– Configuration of compressed mode parameters and simultaneous activation (use of DPCH_CompressedModeInfo).

– Only activation (use of DPCH_CompressedModeStatusInfo).

If compressed mode parameters are to be downloaded to the UE without actually activation, it shall be configured on the SS side by any one of the following two procedures.

– If DPCH channel on which compressed mode is to be downloaded is not already configured, primitive "CPHY_RL_Setup_REQ", with "CphyRlSetupReq. PhysicalChannelInfo" which is of choice, chosen to dPCHInfo shall be called. The procedure is used to pre-configure all compressed patterns necessary for test, but deactivate the all patterns configured at the beginning of the test. This procedure has not been implemented in the TTCN.

– If DPCH channel on which compressed mode is to be downloaded is already configured, the primitive "CPHY_RL_Modify_REQ" with "CphyRlModifyReq. PhysicalChannelInfo" which is of choice, chosen to dPCHInfo shall be called. This procedure in generally used in the TTCN.

If compressed mode parameters are to be configured and simultaneously activated, the same procedure as for the configuration of compressed mode without activation shall be used.

Activation of the compressed mode, whose parameters are already configured shall be achieved by the primitive "CPHY_RL_Modify_REQ" with "CphyRlModifyReq. PhysicalChannelInfo" which is of choice, chosen to dpch_CompressedModeStatusInfo.

8.2.8 Use of U-RNTI and C-RNTI

The uRNTI and cRNTI are optional when configuring the MAC (CMAC_Config_REQ). Table 8.2.8.1 gives indication on when uRNTI and cRNTI are needed.

In the case of DL-DCCH/DTCH mapped on S-CCPCH, cRNTI and uRNTI are downloaded to the MAC layer. As default, SS MAC shall use cRNTI as UE id. At the CMAC configuration of the beginning of test cases, the RLC payload size is configured, as default on cRNTI for the MAC header calculation. If uRNTI is to be used the SS RLC payload size shall be reconfigured as cRNTI and uRNTI do not have the same length (16 bits and 32 bits respectively).

CELL UPDATE CONFIRM or URA UPDATE CONFIRM shall be sent on DCCH at the test for the ciphering reason except the periodic update without carrying the UE identity information. In this case the CELL UPDATE CONFIRM or URA UPDATE CONFIRM is sent on CCCH at the test.
